very nice!! recommend !!! :)

VERY clear and easily understandable. She constantly re-words the material for everyone to learn. HIGHLY recommended!

Very good teacher. Lets you retake test

just pretty rude

good teacher.. lets you retake tests and quizes

Allows for test/Quiz retakes and is very helpfull. But "Gateways" can cause some unecesary stress. But you really learn your Arithmatic. (No calculators on Quiz/Gateways, only on tests.)

Best math teacher ever!

It was very helpful that she allows retakes on quizes and tests.

I hate math. However, Tracy made it easy to understand and is so helpful. If you do poorly on a quiz she will let you retake it and she takes the ebtter of the two scores. There is a lot of homework, but it really helps you learn the material. She also gives extra points out like crazy!

Wallach seriously rocks. Math is one of those classes that sucks but she teaches it really well. She allows test/quiz retakes and is very helpful if you go to her for help. If you show up to class everyday, take good notes, and stay on the ball it is possible to walk out of here with an A.

She is by far the best teacher i have ever had. She explains everything very clearly and if u still dont understand she always, and i mean always has time for questions outside of class. If you are scared of Algebra then take her cuz she will break it down much easier

Tracy is the best prof I have ever had. She goes wayyyy out of her way to help everyone at all times. She is dedicated to her students and it definitely shows!

She's very helpful. She will make sure you know what you are doing. She lets you retake tests and quizes and takes the higher one. She tries to make jokes... Overall she's a nice teacher who cares about how her students do.

Great, great teacher!! Homework is usually optional, yet it helps a ton with the tests. Also, with the classes I had the tests were re-takeable. You will learn math!

Seems busy, frusterated and irritated all the time but will do, and does, everything she can to make sure you're understanding the material. Come to class, do the assigned homework (even though it's never collected) and PARTICIPATE. All students are allowed to re-take their tests and quizzes. She's a terrific teacher.

She was helpful in that you could re-take ALL your quizzes during her office hours :) She doesn't grade textbook homework. Do it anyway (good practice) BUT, you have to get a god grade on the final exam to pass her class, even if you have a 100% in the class and get a 60 on the exam she won't pass you.

She is a good teacher. Quizzes every tuesday/thursday. you can makeup any of them. she would tell jokes. never even bought the book for the class. didn't collect the bookwork so i never did it. i got an A in the class. you have to pass the final with atleast a 70% to pass the class no matter what

Badass professor. She explains stuff crystal clear and let's you retake quizzes. She will challenge you on quizzes and tests but if you go to class, listen to what she says, and do the homework you will get a good grade.

She really cares about the students understanding the material and cares about the grades. She gives quizzes every tuesday and thursday and lets you retake 8 of the 12.. real easy teacher.little corny but whatever

probably the best math professor i've ever had. i hate math. so helpful to her students, which is what is needed in math. i'd never pay attention in my other math classes, but with tracy, i actually paid attention and gasp, might've enjoyed math just a LITTLE bit...she rocks. period.

Professor Wallach scared me at first because she had a blank expression on her face and was a real stickler for the rules. She also when over the class time almost every day, but I ended up loving her in the end because shes so helpful. I went to her office hours all the time, plus she lets you retake quizzes and one test. She's very helpful

I had her for core math 1, 2, and 3. I love her! She is so helpful and will always be in her office to help. She wants you to understand and is super cool and laid back. Would take her again any day!

Great Professor! Very good at explaining and helping you understand.. If you do what she asks you will do well

She is the best professor! i loved her she made everthing so easy! cant use a calculator which i freaked about but she helped so much i didnt need to I love her!

Very Very helpful. Let's you retake most quizzes. Usually always available. Had to take an hour and a half math class, but she made time fly and let out us a few min early all the time! Defiantly recommend her!

I am absolutely terrible at math, but she helped me whenever I needed it. Very comprehensive and was willing to go over whatever I was stuck on. Will go out of her way to help you as long as you ask for it. Explains things in a very simple way to make sure you'll fully grasp the topic. I'd recommend her to anyone struggling with math.

I had Professor Wallach for Basic Algebra 2. She is great with helping and wanting you to succeed. She will do anything to help you as long as you ask. She also helped me enjoy math and I had that feeling of success when I finished her class.

I took her core 3 class twice because i failed the first one because of my attendance. If you actually show up to class she is the nicest woman and goes out of her way to help you. If you struggle at all I recommend seeing her during her office hours. She helped me so much.

They have this new math progam called Aleks (aleks.com) and you do everything by yourself do not come here for math, it is sucks badly, but she is a good teach but useless now, so she should just be fired just like all the other teachers that voted for this website.

She is awesome!. She will make you work, but it is a god thing because it keeps you ahead. She will give you quizzes mostly every week. The quizzes are very easy it is just a way t get extra points. Then she will also give you homework sheets, besides of all the homework you need to have completed by midnight before each exam. If you can, TAKE HER!

Great professor. Will try to act hard sometimes, with me atleast, but she was too nice for it. Learned a lot from the class. Recommended

She is the best math professor that I have had at Kent State! I even asked if she taught the next level class because I wanted to take her again. She is SO available for help and truly wants the best for her students. You only need the book for the online hw code. You can retake tests and quizes, hw is an easy boost to grade! Take Her!!!

One of my favorite professors!

I took Wallach for Aleks and she made that class worst than it was. She's very rude to her students and does not let you use a calculator in any of her classes when other Professors do. She is very understanding though if you are sick and can not make it to class, just don't make it a regular thing.

super helpful and knowledgeable will go out of her way to help her students

I had Tracy for ALEKS math during my Freshman year at Kent. Math is not my strongsuit, and I struggled to pass the class. However, Tracy was more than helpful in assisting me to pass the class. She is professional, but she cares deeply about her students and she really wants to see students succeed. I respect Tracy a lot, and I liked her class.

I took Prof Wallach for Algebra for Calculus 2 and at first, I did not like her teaching style. She lets you retake up to 3 tests and up to 10 quizzes. I highly recommend going to her for tutoring cause she definitely wants you to succeed. She also re-opens up the online homework at the end of the semester. She is awesome and I recommend taking her

Don't let half of these reviews scare you professor Wallach is a very sweet professor and cares about her students deeply. Just try to make an effort to come to class and listen. Make sure you do all the online homework because that can make or break your grade and will do well in her class

I have Professor Tracy for stretch 1 and while she definitely comes across as gruff and I'm sure some people think she's rude. But I think she is hilarious. Watching 18 year old kids test her on her cell phone policy and watching her kick them out is great. She's also a solid teacher and works through problems with you. Very accessible too

The class is a lot of work, but Tracy is very available and cares about students passing. Many quiz/exam re-takes and you will actually learn from the class.

Failed her math class but still one of the best math teachers ive had. Very willing to help. sometimes it just takes 2 semesters.

Oh Tracy, what I would do to have you as my calculus professor right now. Tracy doesn't allow you to use calculators & she may make you feel stupid at times BUT she does care about you learning the material. I got 60-70's on every exam but I did my homework and came to class so she bumped my grade a bit.

Very relatable and cares about her students. Will make sure you understand material and if you do not will make herself available for extra help. Always willing to help, takes her time going over material and teaches it very well.

Tracy Wallach is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She might give out a lot of work, but it is always relevant to what we are learning. She has a lot of office hours, and I suggest you take advantage of those. She also allows you to retake most of your test/quizzes. She is so helpful and a great teacher. Do yourself a favor and take her.

I hate math but actually enjoy Tracy. Her exams are sorta difficult and lots of class material but she makes sure everyone succeeds. She's patient and helpful but will NOT tolerate cell phones, don't risk it. I'd recommend her if you're bad at math because she is helpful.

I love her so much. I just saw her today and I wanted to cry I missed her so much. My other math professors can't compare. She comes off intimidating but if you ask for help outside of class she will be more than willing. She lets students re-take 3 exams and 10 quizzes and she will even help tutor you for the re-takes.

Tracy is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. She's funny, approachable, explains the material in a way that makes sense, and makes a serious effort to help students who are struggling. I'm ordinarily someone who struggles with math, but I came out with an A! She's a great, fun teacher who cares about her students.

tracy gives you the opportunity to retake almost all quizes and tests & will take any amount of time to help you understand the material. She's funny, but tough and doesn't give a lot of partial credit. She notices effort above all - what you put in you'll get out. extremely strict about phones and attendance.

probably my favorite prof of all time. passed with an easy A. if you miss less than three classes, she raises your grade at the end of the semester. she offers tons of extra credit & is very open about changing grades if necessary. its a homework heavy course, & you do have to keep track of your grade yourself but overall, not real big issues imo

Tracy is a wonderful professor and person. Yes, she comes across as blunt - but truly does care about student success. Grades are not put in blackboard so you will have to keep track of your own grades. Homework every single night of semester minus Sat/Sun. As a science major junior, Calc Boost was the hardest course I have ever had to take.

TRACY WALLACH IS AMAZING! I took Pre-Calc one semester with another prof and had to drop the course. Math is very hard for me. Tracy worked with me and helped me all semester. She is so amazing I recommend her over all other math professors at Kent State

A textbook example of "tough love." She seems strict (and sometimes is) but if you stay caught up with homework and are respectful in class she'll love you. She wants everyone to pass and gives many opportunities to improve your grade, including late passes and quiz/exam retakes/makeups. If you put in the work you'll do well.

The class itself is a tough class, but Tracy was great. Really good at teaching and explaining whats going on. Always willing you to help you out if you make the effort. Gives extra credit for attendance, lets you retake exams. Takes a little getting used to but I loved the way teaches.

I had to retake Algebra For Calc Boost after struggling with the class in a previous semester with a different professor. Tracy does an excellent job at explaining and making sure the class actually knows what is going on. She can come off a little strict at first, but if you do your work and participate in class you'll do fine with her.

this class itself is a tough class, but i felt like she did a great job showing step by step how to solve problems. she also lets you retake exams. if you put in the effort to ask questions and go to office hours when confused you will be fine. her personality takes some getting used to

Very nice, except she a tough grader. Was very helpful during class and office hours. Allows retakes on quizzes and tests. Also will raise your grade a tier if you miss less than 3 days. very good!

Very work heavy. Lots of extra credit opportunities given, and you can retake tests and quizzes for full credit 3 times. Is strict on attendance, but if you miss 0-3 days she rounds your grade up a tier. May be blunt at times, but she really does care about her students. She is a great teacher and will help you with whatever you need.

Ms. Tracy is a very good teacher. She can be very blunt and direct but truly cares about her student's grades. I would absolutely love to have her as a teacher again. The class has lots of homework however, there's tutoring right outside of the classroom, and she has office hours two to three times a week. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

She is a good professor. Had daily homework for my class, but this really helped in preparing for the exams. Tests are super easy if you know what happens in class every day. She uploads everything on Canvas and gives easy credits and brownie points. Very clear methods to follow. Even someone who is weak in math can understand clearly.

I took algebra for calculus boost which is a notoriously difficult class, however, professor Wallach made it intriguing and more understandable. She really wants you succeed in the class and offers retakes on all quizzes and test and will assist you outside of class. Also she offers pizza parties and "brownie points" to earn actual food brownies.

She used a lot of note worksheets and used the book a few times (mainly need it to access homework website). She also give a lot of extra credit opportunities and i ended the class with a 112%. She is pretty blunt when she speak but once you get past that shes great.

Professor Wallach is an amazing instructor. She gives many opportunities to retake quizzes and tests to improve your grade. Going to class every day is very important because you will miss stuff and be confused. She does upload papers to Canvas but if you were like me, you will not check it out if you miss it. She is very helpful.

Professor Wallach is a great professor. She really prepares you to pass the class by giving out handouts everyday, having practice problems on the board and giving out weekly quizes. She offers extra credit for tests and quizes and if you don't like your score on a test/quiz you can always retake it! Also, attend office hours and go to tutoring!
