She looks like a bird but is very thorough. It sucks because it seems easy and then your not allowed to use calculators and the grading is ridiculous. At least I have relevant notes though.

a little spacey sometimes but overall a very helpful lady and a very easy grading scale

Tracy was a very nice teacher... at first she seems like a you know what but overall she's very helpful and wants to help you as long as you show up to class and put forth the effort to make the grade.

She's young.. and she explains things well.

She's very nice, but not so helpful, and her examples are wayyy too easy compared to the work and tests. As long as you put forth effort, you'll get a good grade.

She knows the material and is a great teacher. Anytime you need help you can go to her office hours and get all the help you need. And for the people that says she is a bad teacher, they probably did try and they are mad at the grade they got.

Tracy Cook was an amazing teacher. I took this course prior to when I took it with her and she made everything clear. I understand everything now. She is a great teacher and willing to help. Just ask! She takes up homework, but in the long run it is well worth it. Exams are not too hard, if you understand the material you don't need to worry!

Started o pretty weak but in the end turned out to be a really good teacher. Very helpful when needed. Math is not my subject and I ended up with a B. The final is super easy muilple choice and you can use a 4'6 notecard

She is most likely in the top 3 worst teachers of all time for me. Unless you have an innate ability for pre-cal, you will have trouble in this class. For one, she goes through notes extremely too fast and as you try to catch up she's already on the next example. Two, she grades like she wants to fail you. I don't think she cares about students

She is tough but very helpful if you ask for help. If you want a good grade you have to study but getting an A is not impossible by any means.

She was a cool teacher it is all up to the student to understand and practice the work but she will help you as much as possible. Don't sweat it if you do as your supposed to you'll make it

She teaches in a very clear way, and shows a lot of helpful examples. She was always a little stressed, and was not very good at answering questions. She was a very good teacher though, best I have had since middle school.

She was a great teacher, but the course pace was fast. This is mainly due to the fact that there was alot of information to cover in a semester.

One of the best teachers I've had at this school. She is able to explain a concept in a variety of ways in order to clarify the material for different types of learners. She is always willing to provide extra help and is a very understanding person. She grades fairly.

She knows the material extrememly well and she does a excellent job of not boring you in class, she is a very good speaker. Overall i thought the class was easy because her reviews are just like the test. Easy A if your good at math! i don't think i even opened the book but once or twice.

Mrs. Cook is a terrific teacher! I never opened my book once. She gives 4 tests, and the final (homework is all on computer and you get multiple attempts). Her tests are exactly like the reviews she gives (which she gives the answer keys to on reviews). I have no clue why the other comments are so harsh. Take her, she is super friendly and helpful.

Mrs. Cook is overall a solid teacher. I would recommend her for students who already do well in Math; plenty of class time is solving example problems on your own. She makes help readily available for those who need it.

You cant always blame the teacher for a class. I hated this class because i had no background in calc or precal but tracey did a decent job teaching. She would help students who asked for it and wanted it but somewhat ignored the other ones. The best part is that she gives a study guide a lot like the test for every test.Strict on notation & grades

This class wasn't bad at all. If you do the work, and pay attention you'll do great. If you want an A, I'd recommend doing ALL the homework, not just the graded portions. She's really helpful and is understanding as long as you do the work. She really is nice if you're respectful.

Tracey really helped me understand Math. And I am not a math person although logarithms are not my friend! I must say she is just so amazing always willing to help and change her method of teaching to form to a class... TAKE HER! I am looking to take whatever she teaches in the fall just because I know she will help me through it!

Fabulous teacher. Very clear, very helpful and very nice. Cares about her students and does everything possible to help you get a good grade. Through her notes and online homework, I never touched the textbook and still got a B. Super easy attendance quizzes are definitely a plus! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!

Excellent excellent teacher.FAIR grader. I made an A and I'm an English major. Choose her.

Mrs. Cook is a very good professor. She goes at a set pace which can be quick at times but if you just follow along it'll all make sense. She has note taking guides that you print off and use everyday. She uses class time wisely and keeps everything simple. She's big on directions so read everything she gives you before you start doing it.

By far one of the best math teachers I've ever had. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Even gives extra credit opportunities. Can help anyone understand the class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

She is really easy as long as you go to class and pay attention. She uses the clickers and if you don't go to class, you don't get the clicker points and it actually hurts your grade. Do the exam reviews, and you are golden for the tests!

Mrs. Cook is awesome! I have never been great at math, but her class was so clear! I can't believe calculus has actually made sense to me all semester. You need to attend class for your grade because she makes clickers worth around 80 points everyday. Overall, EXCELLENT teacher!

Extremely easy honors instructor. Only a couple homework problems due after each section, book is mandatory for homework problems. Ms. Cook is extremely helpful and nice, would definitely recommend

sooo sweet. will help you if you ask, not hard homework..just a few problems. tests aren't bad, has some exact problems from both the hw and the optional hw (so use optional hw to study). i'd recommend honors version-pretty simple.

She's an overall good teacher. I hate math and have always been horrible at it. She made it a lot better for me to understand and to learn! I would suggest her for your math 119 class if you have to take it!

Best Math Teacher at UT. This is the 2nd time I've taken a class taught by her. Class moves very fast and any class skips could really hurt you. She provides extremely helpful guided notes and practice tests. My lack of grade is purely based off of my poor math skills. Do yourself a favor and take her I HATE math but love her teaching ability.

Great teacher overall!! She was very clear and when it came to not understanding the problem, she uses multiple ways to try to get you to understand. You do have to go to class to pass, but was a pretty easy class.

i would take it again

such a great teacher! highly, highly recommend. she is very passionate about making sure you understand the work and super willing to help. don't skip class if you don't have to, you'll regret it in the end. love this sweet lady though!

Really good feedback on quizzes and tests. Also, if you consistently improve, or you participate in class, she will be an easier grader.

This is the easiest math class I have EVER taken, including math before college. If you show up, take notes, and do the homework, you'll get an A. She is there for help if you seek it. She's super nice, and the homework and tests are not overwhelming at all. Just review your notes and you'll do fine. Would definitely recommend for a math credit.

Cook was an AWESOME teacher! Super easy even if you're bad at math, explains concepts so well and I LOVE her note teaching method! TAKE THIS CLASS! I would say this was an easy A from my perspective, just do the webassign homework and BRING YOUR CLICKER! Her clicker questions actually way kinda heavy and she does take off for wrong answers!

Tracy loves what she does and it shows in the classroom. She's a bit enthusiastic and extremely thorough If you're always present, fill in the handouts, ask questions, and do the homework, you'll do well. As long as you understand the logic behind every homework problem and every handout, there is no reason not to do well on the exam.

She is a good teacher, cares about the students. The homework is usually harder than the test. She does a lot of group quizzes that help because you work with other kids in the class and she walks around to help. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't go you will lose clicker points and not do as well in the class.

Give skeleton notes,teaches some material harder than it should be. supposed to be very easy class but some parts are hard. Go to office hours and she will be an easier grader, esp b4 tests, show her you are trying. Clickers so go to class. she will grow on you throughout semester. Suggested hw & hw is 99% of test questions, make friends in class!

She's really clear in her notes and has printout notes

Tracy Cook is enthusiastic and cares about what she does and her students. The content of the class is odd, but she is very clear, provides printout note taking sheets and posts these sheets filled-out after class should you miss a class or lose your notes. If you understand everything in her notes, you should not have a problem with the exams.

I really enjoyed her class. She was very clear in her teaching methods. If you have to take MATH113, she's the ideal professor. If you're not very good at traditional math (algebra, trig, etc.) but enjoy puzzles, patterns, & geometry then you might like this class; it's a little outside of the box. Do the extra problems & see her if you need help.

Not great in math, had to take Math 113, it was tuff, tons of work, must go to class, attendance is mandatory, worked for the grade I received, you can talk with her outside of class, you do have to answer as stated before her way...

Mrs. Cook is a great teacher! There are quite a bit of homework assignments. I suggest doing homework with a friend to understand the material better. If you ever need help, she is available for office hours. Attendance is based entirely on getting clicker questions right, so ask the people next to you for help if need to. About 3-4 tests in total.

Mrs. Cook is extremely organized and you can tell she knows what she is doing. She is almost overly thorough with her lectures. She, in addition to the TA's are always available and helpful if you have questions. Small quizzes every week with no partial credit which is tough. Very homework heavy, but it helps with understanding the material.

Very organized, has printable note sheets, class moves quickly. She encourages those struggling to come by office hours and is good about clarifying any questions students have.

If you show up for class and do the work you will be fine. Nice lady and fun class.

She was a really good professor and explained things well if you were confused, but you do have to put in the work and show up to class or you won't pass.

I liked Prof Cook overall. However, she does do kind of a flip learning type of teaching so if you do not like that don't take her. You really need to take notes and watch videos to do well in the course but I think that is every teacher. She is helpful in class if u ask questions.

Class is flipped-learning so you learn from online videos. BUY THE NOTE TAKING GUIDE!!!!!!! Cook does brief reviews before giving out worksheets that you do in groups each class. If you are nice and willing to work, this class will be fine. The people who don't like her are the ones who never show up/study. She offers help if you ask during class.

She was fine. I learned stuff in her class and her office hours were helpful but it wasn't anything special.

Cook was great I dont understand the bad reviews. I'm not a math person and her lectures were clear to understand and made sense. She provides a lot of practice for your exams so you know exactly what to expect. She herself is a bit awkward and not overly personable but I didn't mind at all. I was nervous for calc but she made it manageable.

Professor Cook is amazing. I dont understand the bad review. Math is not my favorite but she made it easy to understand, and she was always willing to help. Her office hours were so helpful, and she is willing to work through the homework with you. I have never had a math teacher like her. She's incredible.

Professor Cook's class is a flipped-learning experience. Be prepared to watch videos and work in groups during class. While she may not directly teach, she's helpful if you engage and ask questions. I found unstuck AI a great tool for study prep alongside the course materials.

This woman is so sweet and is always willing to work with you to do well. Although watching the lectures are annoying, the class was overall great. It was structured where you watch the videos before (usually 45-60 minutes), then do a worksheet with a group in class. I had to go to the math place a lot for this class but it was worth it.

The class is group-based for in-class assignments. Every day is the same, you watch videos and take notes before going to class, then do an assignment with the group assigned for the whole semester, then 4 exams.

Professor Cook was amazing, her team and she were always there to help and answer our questions. This course will be a breeze if you take your video notes in advance and take notes in class.

I love Tracy Cook and her TAs! They were so helpful in class, and the lectures at the beginning of class helped me a lot in understanding the material. Attendance is mandatory by doing point solutions for a grade. Every class, you do a group work activity, which isn't too hard, and you get lots of help from the TAs.

I did the homework. I did the notes. I passed. My partner barely did the notes, came to class though, and go a B+. Just do the work if you want an easy A. Also it gets easier through the year once you learn how the class is structured. Not one unit I got below an A. might just be me idk

Professor Cook is a nice lady and her class is very well constructed and laid out for you. It's flipped class so you do video notes outside of class and then come in and complete a learning activity in groups. Exams are straightforward and easy too. If you are good at math this class will be pocket work.

I took 123 Finite with her, the class is flipped so you do video notes outside and group assignments during class. You really get out what you put in. There are TA's, but Professor Cook is approachable and holds good office hours. For math, I'm more of a self-paced learner, so this class was good. VERY test heavy though.

Mrs. Cook is a great teacher along with her TA's. They are all very helpful in class. The classroom is flipped so learning is mainly up to you, but if you follow her note-taking guide you should be set!

Professor Cook did not teach much throughout the class because it is a flipped class. However, my TA was great when I needed questions answered, and you can also ask Professor Cook if you need to. The class is not very hard if you actually watch the videos and do all of the homework, especially because the final is cumulative.
