Simply amazing teacher. I took her for a summer course and her pace is awesome. She is really nice and funny. She explains math so well. I was scared before starting the class, but she is so cool and I got an A. Show up to every class, do your homework, and study.

tina is by far one of the best math professors i've had. she is very helpful and her notes are very detailed. she goes over things until everyone understands. she goes a little fast but she will slow down if students let her know they need a slower pace for certain concepts. if you miss a lot and have a low grade she will drop you.

Tina is an amazing professor! She prints out packets per chapter with the examples she's going to go over, so that you can easily follow along taking notes on how to solve them. Separates the math homework with a lot of time for those who like to get their work done on the weekend. Provides study guides before exams. She uses my math lab for hw.

I had her for my Math 90 class, and I wasn't a math or engineer major so I wasn't supposed to take this class. Either way her notes, and the way she explains her lectures are really helpful. I almost wanted to switch majors just so I can have another class with her. If you have no idea how math works (like me) she will explain it perfectly to you.

If you are bad at Math I totally recommend this class, I dropped my other Stats class after the first day because it was literally horrible but Professor Tina Akers made this class so easy! I am so bad at math but if you pay attention and do your work you will succeed! she allows notes during tests! Lots of homework but easy compared to other stats

Prof. AP was so kind. I am not natural gifted at math, but she explained each topic so well, I would recommend her if math is not a strong subject for you. She was always available to talk, and encouraged me to keep trying. This was the hardest class I've ever taken, but she set up the class to be very doable!

Professor Akers-Porter was the best math teacher I have ever had. I took her for my elementary stats class my first year of community college and I have not forgotten her. I took her online class that was offered with the in-person support class. She is SO nice, accommodating, and really wants you to do great. Ask questions!

This professor changed my whole outlook on math, I've been bad at math my whole life so I was really nervous to take this class but she explains everything so well and is available on Facebook/email if you need extra help. She genuinely wants you to understand the material and pass the course. You can use your notes on tests too which really helps.

I don't enjoy math, and this class was very time-consuming (a 9-week summer class). But Professor AP is awesome. She explained the concepts really well, and her lecture videos break difficult concepts down and make them easier to grasp. She is super nice and accommodating. No EC. If you struggle with math, then I highly recommend this professor.

After 3 years without math, I was scared to take this class, but AP made it a breeze. She's super supportive and wants you to succeed. Failing only happens if you don't try. The assignments can be challenging as the semester progresses, but she's always available and happy to assist. Plus, she lets you use your notes on exams and the final!

I took her online stats course and I really enjoyed the format of the class. She provided guided notes with great lectures. And there were only 2 midterms and a final (all in person tests), which were open book. Best math teacher I've had at MJC!

I know I barley got a C, but math is a hard subject for me, and I haven't taken a math since high school and I barely passed those classes, I was afraid of taking this class because I would fail, but this teacher right here made it very easy for me, all exams were in person, but they were open book/notes. I recommend this class. Study !!

Professor Akers-Porter is by far the best professor at MJC. She cares about her students very much. You can tell in the way she gives her lectures. This is a hybrid class, online homework & the midterm/final are in person & open book. I do not like math. But Professor Akers is a great teacher and she explains EVERYTHING so well. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

I took her for summer course which is condensed. She provides clear helpful instructions to obtain material, course packet and charts are provided. If you watch her lectures it will be easy to complete the assignments/tests/exams.

Review is for MSTAT-C1000 which wasn't listed. Incredible teacher and class, my only issue was having to go in person for exams which is my personal dislike. If you need STATS and her class is open PLEASE do yourself a favor and choose her.

Prof. Akers-Porter is highly recommended! Extremely understanding and organized. Her lectures are engaging, and the provided note packets are genuinely helpful (even at 2x speed I was able to retain everything well). All assessments (HW, tests, exams) are open-note & online. There are 4 labs, 2 midterms, and a final. Be smart and take her class!!

If you follow the lectures she will do the whole note packet she gives you. She shows you step by step how to utilize the calculator and how to input the formulas into it correctly. I was very nervous taking this class but she is by far the best math teacher I have ever taken. She is caring, kind, understanding, and truly just wants you to pass.
