Somewhat easy statistics class. She teaches well but the tests can be rather hard. I would take this class from her again.

Great teacher. She explains the material very clearly. She is approachable and not uptight at all. I definately recommend her.

Great teacher! Explains the material as clear as it can get. I would definitely recommend taking tracy. And she also has a good sense of humor.

she cool and easy..i recommend ppl to take her. she explains easy and grades fairly easy..o yea this year the study guide for the final was the final..and the final is optional. she tells jokes and give random attendance quizes so go to class

Amazingly helpful if you go and talk to her, since of humor is different. but shes fair amongst all students

awesome teacher she explains well and goes thru any example you might see in homework and sample exams are extremely helpful. do the homework it makes the class easy and attendance is necessary

Great teacher. Attendance is not mandatory but if you don't go you wont understand and her bonus questions on tests are usually from jokes she tells in class. I would DEF take her class.

She is a great teacher i recomend everyone to take her. She makes math so easy

She is a great teacher i recomend everyone to take her. She makes math so easy. And she is very pretty.

She is a great teacher and really knows what she is doing, she will interact with every student and her tests are easy to pass if you do the work i would recommend her for anyone that needs help in math or is interested in math

She explains everything step by step and make math EASY! Before every exam she posts an sample exam. The questions are the same, just the numbers change! Go to the clases because the bonus question on the exam is usually a joke she tells in class. She also gives 5 points on the exam for writin your name on the back of the exam! She's the BEST!

Awesome, clear, easy to understand--she is the *BEST* math teacher I have had since grade school! I would get in her class again in a heartbeat! She's pretty hilarious too, which breaks up the monotony of number-juggling.

The reviews weren't very helpful. I was sort of scared to ask questions in class bc she seemed to be pretty rude to ppl who did ask questions. Maybe this was just a bad experience but I wouldn't take Tracy again. She was very clear in her teaching, but the exams were very hard. The SI teacher was amazingly helpful!

Very Helpful

She is an excellent prof. who explains things really well, gives bonus points which really helps out... She will answer any question.. She is hilarious... I highly recommend her as a math teacher especially if you are not so great at math..

She is the best math teacher i have had in college yet. She explains things well and goes at a steady pace. She has a good sense of humor but is a "smart alec". She also gives points on exams and quizzes just for writing your name on it. I would definitely recommend.

good teacher she was pregnant when i was in her class she was funny and explained thes stuff in good detail. Tests are hard but do the work and u will pass

LOVED HER! She was great, but you do NOT need to waste money on the book. You only need to buy the Coursecompass math lab code. I didn't open my book once! Homework is done online, and any help you would get out of the book can be found on coursecompass as well. She is hilarious. I wish she taught Stats! I would definitely take her again!

Tracy Hughes is the best math teacher I've ever had. She explains things VERY clearly, does not assign mandatory homework, and makes the class really easy. I would especially recommend her if you have trouble with math!

It might not seem like she's the great teacher that everybody puts her out to be at first but she is. She gives extra credit for writing down your name in the right place on test,and she gives alot of extra points just for showing up to class, and she explains the material pretty well. TAKE HER and she drops lowest quiz and test grades

she is probably the best math teacher i've ever had. she does an incredible job of making things clear. as long as you pay attention, do the homework and show up to class then you will get either an A or B.

Best math teacher I've ever had. She'll work out problems over and over until people get them. Her tests are difficult but she drops the lowest one and give extra points if you follow all the directions. Also, she has a great sense of humor which makes the class more enjoyable.

Great Teacher! Take her for 131! She is funny, cuts up in class, makes the class fun for everyone. She is very helpful and works out as many problems as you need. Her tests are easy if your in class, do the homework, and study over the notes. There is no reason not to pass this class if Tracy is your teacher. TAKE HER!

LOVE her!! She is funny and gives lots of extra credit. you must come to class because she has pop quizzes but she drops the lowest and almost half the points are for attendance. Test aren't bad if you do your study guide and ask her questions the day before your test. best math teacher I know!

I loved goin to class at 8 in the morning because of her. for the first two weeks of class we didnt have to go. Teaching skills are excellent i would take her again.

GREAT TEACHER! explains everything very well! humorous too!

She's a great teacher & very funny too! Go to every class, take good notes & study! Tests can be hard & she can go a little fast while explaining board problems but if you speak up she will clarify it for you. She'll help you out one on one if you really need it! Watch your cell phone too, she's spring a pop quiz if she even thinks she hears one!

SHE IS AWESOME!!! TAKE HER IF POSSIBLE!! She is funny and a great teacher! Just do the homework and study for the test and you will get an A!! I loved her class!! I would take her again!!

She's really funny and teachers a whole lot better than most of the teachers. Just do the home work and practice test and ask questions if you have them!

Mrs. Hughes was awesome! She drops a test, two quizzes, and three homeworks. Takes attendance, but isn't required. But two quizzes were attendance so you might want to make sure you go. Highly recommend taking this class. She is very helpful, and its pretty easy. Also an auditorium sized class.

You don't need to go out and but the book. Just get it through coursecompass, b/c it's never used besides her, and she tells her the prob # and pg # in the book so u can look it up online. taker her.

I loved this class! She is super easy and tells lot's of korny jokes! She knows what she's talking about and she always explains how to do something in the best way possible. Her tests are super easy and basically just like the book problems. She uses the book alot. Homework is all online. It was an easy class!

Take her! She is the best math teacher. You do have to work but with coursecompass it is easy to make good grades. Plus she drops alot of your bad grades. I failed the first 2 tests and ended up with a b in the class.

She is great! Explains things well. She missed class a bit this semester. Her notes are great! The computer system helped me study for the tests! I recommend her for math over all the professors.

Definitely take her class! I hate math and suck at it, and this was the highest grade I've ever gotten in math. She misses quite a bit of class, but she is a great teacher. She helps the students understand the material and is great at preparing you from the exams. She also likes to give easy pop quizzes and surprise extra credit. Take this class!

Material isn't easy but she makes it easy to comprehend. Lots of extra credit for attendance. She can come off a little arrogant but overall she is awesome.

I would HIGHLY suggest taking Professor Hughes. By far the best Math teacher I've had. She is very clear and makes calculus understandable. Her tests come straight from homework problems and she grades fairly. She takes a while to grade but LET HER cause she gives lots of points back. She is super reasonable and class seems to go by fast.

Very sarcastic and funny professor, but she is often rude when asked questions. I thoroughly enjoyed her class. She gives TONS of bonus points throughout the semester if you just come to class and follow directions. Easy A if you try at all.

She is the best stats teacher. I had friends with different professors that came to me for help and notes. She gives so much extra credit its almost hard to fail her tests. I enjoyed her class more than I thought I would because she made everything so easy to understand.

Mrs. Hughes has a dry sense of humor which makes the class a little better, but she is my most strict professor! She does not mess around and you have to try your absolute hardest in her class. The homework is easy but it doesn't count for much. Also ask your recitation teacher for help, she probably won't have time for you.

This class was a bit redundant. A lot of unnecessary requirements come with the course which causes extra work with no reward. Professor Hughes teaches easy and is doing the best she can with the way the course is designed.

Funny and nice professor, but somewhat difficult class. Had daily homework and the tests were harder than the homework. But she if very nice if you go to her during office hours and will help you out.

Professor Hughes comes off very sarcastic. She's pretty clear with her teachings but the class is quite boring. Attendance is MANDATORY. As long as you're in class and your're doing all of your online homework, you should be fine! I would recommend her to anyone who actually wants to work for their grade. Nothings handed to you in her class.

I love Mrs. Hughes! She is a great teacher. Very clear to understand if you are willing to pay attention. Attendance is mandatory and will affect your overall grade. I would take her if you can!

Makes math easy to understand and even lets you ask questions even though it's a big lecture class!

Tracy is hilarious!!!! I love her class. there are 4 exams and 6 quizzes and she drops the lowest grade of each at the end of the semester. there is a lot of homework(online@Mymathlab) , but it is only due on Wednesday and Sunday nights so you have plenty of time to do it all. Put forth the effort and it should be an easy A

She is great at explaining things and making sure you understand what is going on. She tries to keep everyone laughing which makes the class less boring and keeps your attention. Keep up with the homework and notes, you'll be fine! I wish she taught Calculus, I would definitely take her again!

She is a very straight forward teacher, but gives great lectures. Knows what she is teaching and always able to answer a question when asked, can be pretty funny at times. Gives you a fair chance to do well, all that is required of you is show up and participate and you will have no choice but to do well. Attendance is mandatory though!

I believe she is a great teacher. As long as you do your assignments and just pay attention, you should pass. She allows homework to be done until you get a 100. She knows how to actually do math and make you understand it and doesn't just throw formulas at you.

Must attend class. Lots of homework but it helps in the long run. 4 exams are given but the lowest one is dropped. Lectures are straight to the point. She is very easy to understand. I would recommend her.

SHE IS GREAT!! I LOVE HER AND WOULD DEFINITELY RETAKE HER! SHE IS FUNNY, LECTURES ARENT BORING EITHER. SHE IS GREAT AT EXPLAINING LESSONS AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS. EXAMS ARENT THAT HARD AND SHE REVIEWS THEM THE CLASS BEFORE. YOU HAVE HOMEWORK DUE EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHICH ISNT VERY HARD. VERY DO-ABLE IF YOU PUT FORTH THE EFFORT

Any math class you take is going to be hard. Tracy is a SUPER awesome teacher that I would recommend to anyone. The lectures are interesting and although there are a lot of homework assignments it helps a lot in the long run

Professor Hughes is an extremely good teacher who, despite being in a lecture hall of over 200 people, still connects to her students well. There is about 35 online homework assignments to complete but you get unlimited attempts to get each question right. She takes attendance so you absolutely must go to class if you want a decent grade.

Prof Hughes is AWESOME. Her notes for this class were very helpful. as long as you attend class, go to recitation, and complete all of your lab hours, you should be fine in this class. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK HER QUESTIONS!

Don't be a distraction in her class because she's likely to call you out in front of your whole lecture class. She's very sarcastic and witty, but is also a great professor. Do the homework and required participation points, it'll carry your grade a lot farther than you think.

I absolutely loved having Prof. Hughes. The recitation class is boring and you won't want to go but GO!! The exam review that they give you in recitation is the test!!!! She drops your lowest test score. Go to class to get your clicker points. The homework is easy if you attend class. You will get the grade you want, if you keep up.

Best math teacher i think I've had in my life. As long as you are in class and pay attention, you'll pass. There is recitation which just helps you understand better. If you need help, just ask. The homework can be extensive, but it is great practice for the test (and its a part of your grade, too). She has some corny jokes--only complaint I have

She is an amazing teacher. She explains the lesson very well. She has the most corny jokes, but I'm here for them. I love Hughes. You should def take her. She's very thorough; she make everything clear!

I had her for college algebra, and now for calculus. I think she is the prime example of a fabulous college professor. She is very thorough in her lectures and gives just enough homework so you can actually know the material. She gives extra credit on random days if you're in class, so I would tell you to be in class every day.

Tracy is a great teacher. She makes the information very easy to understand. This semester she really didn't grade much and graded very easily so I didn't have to put much work in. Attendance and homework are important to keep up with though. Would definitely recommend taking her!

She is great teacher! She is very helpful and knows know to teach! She is a great professor to take! Hope to get a chance to take her again

I took Tracy Hughes for online College Algebra. Her lectures were good and easy to understand, even though she wasn't actually teaching me in person. If I had to take more math classes, I would definitely try to get her. The homework isn't too many problems, and you only have to go on campus for tests and the final exam.

Professor Hughes was awesome. She always offered extra credit on our tests, and made all the information east to comprehend.

I took Professor Hughes's online College Algebra class. She (usually) uploaded the material early. Her lectures are fun, but she tries to throw a joke in every once in a while. Homework can be redone until you make a 100. She gives a study guide for the tests that looks almost identical to the test.

She a good teacher, I liked her a lot.

Professor Hughes loves her job, students, and math! She knows how to explain things very well and ensure student understanding. She goes over all the notes in detail on the projector and her homework assignments have unlimited attempts to get a 100%. She also drops the lowest test grade, quiz grade and the lowest 3 homework assignments.

READ THE SYLLABUS. She can't stand it when you ask questions that are in there. She can be sarcastic, but that is just her personality, and she is willing to help anyone who is putting forth effort. She does not put up with rudeness or laziness. She also hates when you use the wrong variables (x is not always right). Amazing Professor. 10/10.

She is really entertaining during lectures, gives lots of opportunities to get credit in this class, and always does her best to explain the material in depth.

If you dont participate (using clickers to answer questions) or show up to class you will not pass. Teacher is very helpful if you come to her, even though she is sarcastic. The only bad thing is you can get stuck with a recitation leader that is horrible but you have no control over that. She will point you in the direction to succeed and pass.

If you have to take a math class I recommend Hughes. She is the head of her department and offers a lot of grading choices, she is difficult but if you know your information and study and work hard you will do fine. She gives you 3 or so excused absences. You NEED the textbook

Although she can be very blunt at times, she is an excellent professor and does a great job explaining Algebraic concepts in class. The homework is done through a computer program but is explained well in the lecture. Studying for Exams and taking notes will get you the grade you want.

This class was online and super easy. Professor Hughes is super chill she makes her course work accessible and reasonable.

I took the online version of this class and passed with an A. The online lectures were clear and easy to follow. I've never been amazing at math, but this class was easy because of the explanations. Do the Test Review provided in the Test Information section. It really helps.

Mrs. Hughes can be very intimidating, but her style of teaching helped me learn so much! This class, in general, has a lot of homework, but it will prepare you for tests. There are 3-4 tests and a final exam. All the homework is on Pearson and you can redo it until you get a 100.

I loved Professor Hughes. I wasn't the best at math in high school, so I was surprised when I did so well in this class. She is lenient about showing up a few minutes late, she is funny, and doesn't overwhelm the work. It's the typical workload of a math class. Mainly a review of all your high school math.

Excellent Professor

During the global pandemic, it was very overwhelming to handle online classes, but Prof. Hughes went out of her way to make it as straightforward as possible. She is rather sarcastic and hates it when she's asked questions that are in the syllabus. Overall, she helped me learn a lot even though the lectures and homework were time-consuming.

She is the professor that recorded all the lectures for online algebra. I technically had another professor, but was taught by Hughes. This class is a LOT of work and would be easier to take in person if you can. The professors did drop a lot of low grades. There are multiple graded lectures per week, online homework, & proctored tests.

Excellent instructor

Tracy is an excellent professor. I never leave the lecture feeling unsure about the content covered.

Tracy Hughes is the best Math 1130 instructor there is. I notice a lot of people giving her hate, but I also notice my generation wants something for nothing. This is a math class and we are expected to struggle. She is clear in what she expects and knows what she is doing. Just read the syllabus it's not that hard.

I know a lot of people in college algebra hate on Professor Hughes, yet I did great in her class and I consider myself bad at math. She is very good at understanding the material, and I ended the class with a 98.

I would definitely take this professor again. A lot of people give her a lot of hate. The exam reviews are a lot of questions but they are given to help you to study for the test. Its a college class, so you shouldnt expect any less. I learned and did really well in her class.

She's a good professor and really helps you understand the material. She may seem difficult at first, but she just wants you to follow directions and pay attention during her lectures. If you show up, you will pass. The class mostly consists of online homework assignments usually 2-3 per week as well as four exams.

She has a very good passion for teaching math and is very nice. The material waa tough for me to understand and I could have gotten a better grade if I studied but I would take her class again.

I thought she was great. People like to complain about her but what were you expecting from a college course? She gives you everything you need to succeed and it is up to you to study and keep your extra points she gives at the beginning of the semester

Class is boring which is to be expected in a large math lecture, the content is hard but exams are easy and she gives you lots of free points at the beginning of the semester. You will need to buy an iClicker and notes book.

Tracy Hughes is a professor who allows you to succeed as long as you take the initiative. You will need to buy the course's loose-leaf notebook to take notes in class. Do the homework, exam practices, and go to her final zoom and you will be fine. She gives +3 points for writing your name on the test. She doesn't take anyone's excuses or care (:

Professor Hughes was a great professor and I would definitely take her again! Attendance was counted towards your grade as well as your participation on your iClicker. If you attended the lectures and actually paid attention its really easy. It is an easy class to pass if you show up.

I took Professor Hughes during the summer online. Every time I emailed her, she answered and was helpful. You watch videos and it will ask questions, homework and quizzes are on MyLab, then exams have to be taken at UTC Math Center or approved off-campus location. One exam, one quiz, and 3 homeworks are dropped at the end of the semester.

Her summer College Algebra class requires an insane amount of self discipline, time, and practice. I have wanted to k-myself every day for the past 4 weeks. Professor Hughes explains the material extremely well and fills in any gaps or misconceptions I had. She is a great lecturer, and I'm sure that her fall and spring semesters aren't as intense.

She is great at teaching and explaining math. I didn't find the course particularly difficult, but there's is a good bit of homework to keep up with.

Prof Hughes is really good at explaining the content and making it easy to understand. There isn't too much HW, about 1-2 assignments each week and they took at most an hour total. There are exam reviews though which take much longer. The exams are very true to the reviews so if you do the work and pay attention in class you'll be fine.

I'm not amazing at math but I think Professor Hughes is a great teacher. She is kind of intimidating and can come off as rude but I expected that. There is a lot of homework but I think that it was very helpful in learning the content. Participation and attendance matters and is graded!!!

I love love love Professor Hughes so much. She is a great person and teacher. She may come off blunt and rude but that is just her personality. If you're in a class of 40 people, take time to get to know her and she might just become one of your favorite professors too.

she has a detailed syllabus and sticks to it. There is a fair amount of homework but its not terrible. plenty of dropped grades, but only have 5 excused absences. Good lectures, and you just have to do the work and you'll make a good grade

She explains things very well, offered extra credit, and genuinely wants you to learn. She is funny, and lectures go by quickly. Go to class!!! We also got to use a full front/back cheat sheet for exams in this class which helped me get an A on each exam. Final is optional. Wish I could take Professor Hughes 100 times!

This is a time consuming that requires 2 part homework assignments for almost every chapter, 15-40 minute lectures, and exams on campus or at an approved location off campus. You have to be disciplined you'll & need the time as well. Happy w/ her teaching style but I'm just trying my best to balance my summer because of how time consuming it is.

Just come to class and pay attention, she will tell you the same. There is homework multiple times a week with quizzes every week but generally the homework is harder than the actual tests/quizzes.

Math 1130 with Professor Hughes is a challenge, but if you stay on top of the work, you'll do well. The lectures are informative, and the homework, though time-consuming, helps reinforce the concepts. I found using unstuck AI alongside the textbook very helpful for study prep.

Get to know your TA's, they are your lifeline. The class seems really easy at the start if you took Algebra in high school but do not check out during lecture. You will need to participate in class and pay attention.

Pretty good at teaching and explaining the material. Lecture heavy and in-class participation is mandatory. She definitely knows what she's talking about, and also hosts review meetings on zoom before exams.

Super easy. Just make sure to stay on top of your work and pay attention in class, then you will succeed. Tons of easy 100s throughout the year and your grade doesn't completely tank from one quiz. She's pretty generous, but don't anticipate getting personal with her in your 200-person class. Follow directions and pay attention and you will be ok.

The class has frequent homework and weighs test heavily, however professor Hughes does a good job at helping you actually learn while she teaches. It is very important to study for this class, and put in a lot of effort. I would take the class, but only if you are ready to put aside some hours for it.

Hughes is amazing. Though you won't get personal with her, you can tell she cares about her students. There are lots of tests/quizzes/assignments, but she and her TA's will help. Be sure to pay attention in lecture and it is easy enough. She gives lots of free points, especially with being able to do homework multiple times, and the dropped grades.

This class is really easy if you just go and pay attention. Homework is easy as well. Idk why she doesn't have a higher rating tbh.

Great class to take, she teaches the material well and has questions to engage in class with using iClickers, which helps you understand the material a little bit better as well. Overall a great class, just do not take advantage of absences, that is all I can warn you about. The exams are not that hard, homework is on Pearson.

She seriously wants you to do good in her class! You're able to drop the final and she put it in as a zero so you know what your grade would be if you were planning to drop it all semester. I can't recommend her enough. You also can have a cheat sheet and gives extra credit out. She explains everything well. Go to class you and you'll do great.

LOVED this professor. Never been good at math but she was great at explaining. Have good attendance and do HW and you will pass just fine.

My only issue is that the final seemed wildly more difficult than any other assessment. Class average when I took it was like a 45, in college algebra that's inexcusable in my opinion. She is a great teacher, don't miss class and things fall in place.

Professor Hughes was very knowledgeable and clear with her lectures. She moves fast during lectures, so studying outside of class is necessary! Overall, the class wasn't too hard and but it takes effort to get a good grade. I would take her again.
