Do not take this teacher as an online course unless you are already really good at math. Each week all she does is post a power point and a problem set or two.

Although she is very nice and willing to help. The tests that she gives are way harder then what she teacher in class and its 60% of your grade so if you don't pass tests, you don't pass the class.

Speed runs lectures, doesn't actually teach she just writes down the work and expects you to follow it while shes going 100 miles an hour. Very good at responding to emails, but this class is basically teaching yourself. For tests she throws you off by putting the hardest problems possible from the chapter without go in depth of how to do them.

Professor Hansen was always extremely kind and helpful with teaching us the material. The classes often ended early, giving us time to work on the WAMAP practice problems. She was very easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, it was great being in her class, and I would love to learn from her again!

This class was the first time she taught this online so I think that was why the material wasn't taught well at first, but by the end was fine. She is very accessible, even on weekends, and her own personal phone. Some quiz formatting issues. Take her classes in person and you would likely do well and can ask questions easier.

Her lectures usually lasted around an hour, followed by a group problem. She did the problems kind of fast and messed up on them pretty often. She was great about responding to questions on the wamap discussion board. Overall, she was really caring and if you're willing to put some extra effort into self-studying I would recommend her class.

WAMAP assignments are due when that day's class starts, not midnight. As long as you remember that you'll find her courses pretty easy.

Professor Hansen is a true gem to the Cascadia Community College staff. Her excellence in teaching skills shines brightly, not just through education but the way she shows care for her students. If you are hesitating to take a class from her, do not, it is the best choice you could make.

I really liked her class, her lectures were good and she had these prenotes that were really helpful. The class turned online because she had a surgery and that's when I started struggling. I took the class in person because I did better, she posted these lecture videos when the class became online but it still wasn't the same as in person.

Good Professor! Her class consists of daily homework assignments, some group assignments, and 3 tests. She grades tests pretty harshly, so make sure to get the one with many points right! I can think of two times when she marked my entire solution wrong because I missed something early.

Professor Hansen is an absolute gem of a professor! She understands her subject matter thoroughly, and she has been teaching calculus for so many years that she has the course plan well figured out. Her teaching style, where she explains the concepts and then works a lot of practice problems on the board, is super easy to follow.

Great person, but isn't great at explaining difficult concepts clearly. First hour of class is her lecturing, and you can leave or stay for more help after that. There will be a few extra credit options throughout the quarter. DO THEM. Her grading system is weird, so even 10 points of extra credits will boost your grade a LOT. I ended up with 107%

I love professor Hansen. I wish I took her for every math class. She's so caring and understanding. Does her best to help with any situation. Genuinely the best professor I've had at Cascadia. As someone who struggles with math and always hated it, I was able to do well in her classes and enjoy the course and actually understand the material.

Tough grader but the subject material is simple enough that it's fine. Conveys material clearly in lectures. Usually two WAMAP assignments and 1-2 physical assignments due every week. No extra credit and only WAMAP assignments get dropped (no physical assignments get dropped). Three separate non-cumulative exams, none of these get dropped either.

Super clear on her expectations which makes it easier to do well. Posts all notes and lectures in WAMAP and is super easy to contact about any questions. Class would always end early and you could stay and get help if needed too. No final because there was only three exams, so last exam only covered around 3-4 chapters.
