Professor Porter rocks! She is very passionate about math and is always there to help. Would definitely take again!

Professor Porter makes algebra clear. If you aren't great with math she is a good professor to take bc she explains things very simply and very well. I had to show up to every class and be engaged, however. Her class was not an easy A by any means - but I feel like as long as I was willing to make an effort I would do well.

Best Math teacher I've ever had. Will answer texts about HW or other math questions anytime. Gives great review materials before tests. Very nice, wants everyone to get an A. Will stay on a subject until entire class gets it. Always offering out of class help. Explains things well, very patient. Wish she could teach all my math classes!

She was one of the best math teacher I have had in a long time. Granted I did not get the grade that I wanted (an A) but I still think she is great. I would have taken all my math classes from her if it was possible.

Amazing professor. She wants you to pass and will do anything to help you understand and to help you get the grade you want

An amazing teacher. She's here to help you perform at your best and help you get the grade you need in order to keep you're grades right.

Prof. Porter was great. Young teacher who care about her students and their success. Gives a good amount of homework but its all pretty easy. She also opens up all the homework at the end of the semester so you can finish it if you didnt do it originally. Tests aren't too bad if you study. Final Multiple choice. EAsy class & easy to skip.

Professor Porter will do anything she can to help you succeed if you ask. Not mandatory attendance but she does always take attendance to see who's coming and she keeps that in mind. MyMath Lab is a big part of the class, but there is always enough time. If you do poorly in this class, it will have had nothing to do with her.

Tests are much harder then what she will teach although she gives out practice tests usually a week before and they are exactly like the test. They are only 20 questions long so learn the practice tests you will easily get an A on the tests! Homework every night although it can be annoying it helps you review the material . drops lowest test grade

Professor Tracy is an amazing Professor. I had her for 50 min on Monday, Wednesday , and Friday. She was always willing to help with homework and give you a clear understanding in that short period of time. She gives you practice test which is basically the key to passing tests. Take advantage of the opportunities she gives you.

Professor Tracy was an amazing professor. I was very good at math in High School and was struggling with the material at the beginning of the course. She helped me tremendously. It is a math class so you have to practice and do the homework to understand the stuff. I went to office hours everyday before class and got a high A in the class. Take her

If you just "get through" college algebra, this is the prof for you!!! She hates to see people fail and will help you in any way possible. If you need to truly learn algebra for future math classes, I would take someone else. Her lectures are scattered and doesn't really teach you. Most of the stuff I learned was from Mathlab.

Pretty easy class, do the practice tests and you should get an A because the real test is basically the same thing. Opens up homework for the last week. Recommended

She is the BEST math professors ever. She really cares to help her students. She gives you reviews that are just like the test. As long as you know how to do everything on the review you are bound to get an A on the test. She uses MyMathLab which I think helps more than her teaching but definitely take her! Even if you are late she will let you in.

Mrs. Porter is an AMAZING Professor. She always makes sure everyone knows what's happening during class and will go over online homework at the start of every class. She always makes herself available for students and does her best to set everyone up for success. I HIGHLY recommend taking her for any math course.

I'm terrible at math but Tracy Porter made it easy! 4 exams and 1 final; drops lowest grade. There's a non-mandatory pre-test at the start of the semester, if you get an A you exempt from the final. Gives lots of chances for you to do well. Gives study guide that is exactly like the real test! Do the study guides a few times and you will get an A!!

At first I did not really like her, but she really cares about her students! She doesn't want to see anyone fail. Offers lots of practice, very similar to tests. Opens up homework last week. Make all A's on tests and you can skip the final. Regardless, she'll drop your lowest test grade!

Ms. Porter's class is great. She cares about her students and wants each one to be successful. However, do not expect to simply get an A just by showing up. Doing all of the homework and practice tests is in your best interest. To put it simply, you will get whatever effort you put in.

I love this class and yes i would definitely take this class over again, if you actually go to every single lecture you'll actually learn something. She's a great professor overall.

Tracy had a more energetic teaching style, which really helped me get engaged in her class. She was funny and had good lectures. Most of the work was done off the computer in my math lab such as homework and some test. I liked this class just don't get behind cause it's hard to catch up

Mrs. Porter is a great professor who is always willing to help. As long as you put forth effort, you will do well in this class. If math isn't your thing, she will do her best to help you. There is a homework assignment for every section, but it really helps you understand the information. She is a great professor who wants her students to succeed.

Professor Porter was really sweet and a decent teacher. She was never very clear on her instructions for tests and homework which made it a bit more difficult. She drops the lowest test grade but is a tough grader overall. She will take off points for not showing work even if there is not work to be shown.

She was definitely one of my favorite professors. she really wants you to do well so she will help you any way she knows how. She taught at a good pace and explained things well. If you're not a math person I would go to her office hours. Homework is very helpful so pay attention and do well on it.

I took her class 3 days a week but we only actually met twice a week if that. The test were online for us and the study guide was just like the test. Easy A to get in this class if you actually put forth the effort and lowest test grade gets dropped. If you have any questions about homework, she'll answer them at the beginning of class

A very nice lady who knows her stuff. She gives PLENTY of chances to answer student questions on homework. The homework is a lot of work, so I wish she would have made it a larger portion of our grade. Keep up with the homework and you'll do fine. TAKE HER ADVICE: take notes in class, make an organized notebook of homework, and you will do well

She is an easy A as long as you put in a little effort! Everything that is for a grade is online through MML. The grading criteria is laid out on day 1, so it's easy to keep up with. She explains everything in class, and will answer your questions. Also, she's super easy to reach outside of class. Definitely take her if you're not great at math!

She is a really good professor! I enjoyed the class!

Best experience with a professor I've had at KSU so far. Makes the material easy to learn as long as you pay attention. Plenty of grade redemption and you know exactly what you're going to be tested on which is very helpful. Goes out of her way to help students and make the class enjoyable. She makes a difficult class manageable and enjoyable!

Professor Porter is a wonderful teacher that takes the time to make sure that each student understands the material she is covering. She has a very unique teaching style that makes class entertaining and keeps you focused. While trig itself can be kind of difficult, you still obviously have to take the time to do work. 10/10 would recommend.

Very pleasant personality and willing to help for clear understanding

Professor Porter isnt amazing but shes also not terrible. She teaches at a fast pace and somewhat expects you to already know the material. She does make it easy to take notes by writing out thorough steps to work out equations. The grades in class consist of 4-5 homework assignments per chapter and tests (one online). Not too bad

At the beginning of the semester she told us she would not curve final grades which is reasonable. Her study guides are exactly the same as the tests just with different numbers. Aleks is used online for the homework which is very annoying, but the entire algebra department uses it so there is no way out of it.

Lectures are boring. Homework assignments are due every week. Adds 10 points if you skip less than 3 classes. She's nice and offers help if needed.

Overall wasn't the best teacher not the worst. Her study guide were exactly like the test, so if you do those you'll be fine. 4 tests and a final no quizzes and homework due every week. Don't be afraid to take her, just do you're homework, show up to class and study you'll be fine.

Super impressed my Mrs. Porter! I sat in many of her lectures and received exactly what I put into the class. Her homework and tests were on point for the class material. The use of ALEKS was decided upon by the math department. Mrs Porter made great use of extra sessions, and invited all to attend extra sessions to prepare for the final. YESPLEZ!

Tracy is a pretty fair teacher. I had to work for it but it went well. Lectures are good, come prepared. At times she tries to make funny jokes but hey, this is math. Would take her class again

She taught math, I passed the class. Study and take advantage of the study guides!

Tracy knows her math. Attendance is necessary to succeed. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Professor Porter was pretty nice. She gave clear lectures and was good at explaining the material. I found that she gave us enough time to complete assignments and the tests were practically the same as the study guides. As long as you complete the homework on time and understand it for the most part, you will pass the class.

She's a great professor, she was always easy to contact outside of class and her lectures were all helpful. I took the synchronous online class so attendance was extra credit if you showed up. She was very clear on what to do and if you had any questions, you could ask her to go back over something and she would without hesitation.

Tracy Porter was great this semester for my online class! I really liked her set up with Pearson: 1 homework assignment due each week (not too many hw questions), 3 tests, 1 cumulative final. Signing into class was important if you wanted to take notes and it gave extra credit points at the end. Completing HW + Study Guides A's on tests & final.

She gave lots of extra credit for showing up to class, so make sure you always attend even though it's not required. She had the math website set up to see where the students are struggling and help them easily. The tests are the only thing graded, so you have to make sure you do well on those, but she gives you lots of help.

I really enjoyed her lectures! She explains things in a easily understandable way, but the materials covered in class can be a little fast, but that is because of time limitations, and she replies to her emails quickly. Her tests are really straight forward and it is exactly like the preview quiz.

Very smart professor, clearly knows the material very well. Provides you with all the opportunities needed to succeed. Study guides are EXACTLY like the tests, do them and you'll do amazing. Provides multiple extra credit opportunities.

The class is easy but it's mostly about how much you study on Aleks. The lectures didn't explain the concepts very clearly to me but it's easy to get help or review online. Homework nearly every week and 3 written tests plus a final. The tests are usually exactly like the study guide. If your okay with teaching yourself some this class is great.

Amazing teacher. If you have a question she will explain to the best of her ability until you understand. She wants you to succeed but you have to put in the work. All the test are straight from Aleks so super easy, Definitely could've got an A if I did the Aleks.

I struggled with Math 1111, but Prof. Porter got me through it. She explains everything clearly and works out each question step by step. Easy to reach outside class, wants to see her students do well. Tests are huge part of grade. Homework done on ALEKS and gives extra credit opportunities. Showing up REALLY helps. Opens assignments for review.

If you're mediocre at Math, you should be fine with Ms. Porter. Her notes are very simple and organized, and if your a visual and auditorial learner, this class is great. I studied only the material on her Study Guides (which are exactly like the tests) and I was fine! Homework takes a long time, but her study guide is crucial to passing!!

Not sure why there's many awful reviews, she was a great teacher who really cared about her students. Lectures are clear, she works out problems detailed and answers all questions. Extra-credit and homework makeup opportunities. Attendance is used as extra credit. Tests are just like ALEKS study guides. Very good prof and I'm not even good at math.

spring '24 semester. If you go to class and pay attention, you'll do fine. She also offers extra credit for attending class.

This professor genuinely sets you up for success. She is a great teacher and lectures might be slightly fast-paced but she is very nice and likes when students ask questions. The study guides are identical to the test and she offers 5 extra points for not missing class. If you understand the content homework on Aleks will be a breeze.

AMAZING prof I would take her again any day! Spends plenty time in class going over the notes. Hw weekly on Aleks is quite simple and easy to get a 100 on. Attendance= extra credit on tests. Opens up all hw and assignments to go and finish if you didn't get the chance to do that. Posts the blank notes and goes over them in class. 3 tests + final.

Professor Porter is an amazing professor. If you go to her lectures and do the ALEKS homework then you'll be successful. Her tests are in person, but very similar to the test reviews. There's no textbook needed.

She's so sweet! Her lectures are very clear, and she gives homework once a week. You have to turn in a study guide before every exam, and it's basically the exam! She also replaces your lowest test score with your final exam grade! I would definitely take her again!

She is AMAZING!!! Especially if you're bad at math, she is so open to helping and at the end of the semester gives so many opportunities to get extra credit and boost your grade tremendously. She is kind and very clear in her explanation and is always open to any question a student may have. I would take her for every math class if I could.

I liked her a lot, she's very sweet. I did not find this class hard. Everyday, she works through examples as notes. She doesn't post completed notes, which I feel like would be helpful. It's pretty average workload, ALEKS homework and paper tests. She is available outside of class and can do virtual meetings with you if you need help from home.

She's one of the sweetest professors. The class can get a little boring, but she tries to make it manageable and engaging. All work is on ALEKS, due weekly—not too hard and helps with quizzes/tests. At the end of the semester, you can make up missed or low-scoring ALEKS work.

I love Tracy Porter! I never went to class and taught myself all the ALEKS work (there's a LOT of it), but it was helpful and the tests were just like her study guides. She is really sweet and willing to help you out if you need it.

I had to retake this course, and I absolutely loved Professor Porter. She taught the subject in a way you could understand it and went at an appropriate pace. Her study guides were very similar to the test so If you do them you should succeed in the class. There is aleks to do as well. She gives extra points on tests for showing up so go to class.
