She is a great, caring teacher, that I highly recommend. She explains the material very well so you can understand. Her notes help you alot to review. And if you like working in groups, she does a lot of group work in class.
MRS. MEYERS is one of the BEST teachers at El Camino. I really enjoyed her class. She explains everything very clearly, she is also very patient and understanding. She is also a very leanent grader. Everyone else I know who took her class loved her.
Here's a teacher who cares!! She goes out of her way to help students. No nonsense attitude, excellent with communication, much clearer than other profs. She's great!!!
WOW! I HAVE TOKEN TRUDY 4 2 CLASSES AND SHE IS THE BEST. SHE EXPLAINS, GIVES E.C, GIVES EXTRA CREDIT ON TEST, IS VERY PATIENT, THINKS SHES FUNNY (LOL), BUT UR LEARN AND GET AN ESSAY A OR B. I GOT AN A IN BOTH CLASSES. KEEP IN MIND IM NOT THAT GOOD IN MATH

Trudy brings back the fun of learning that many of us thought was gone forever. She is not any easy A, but she makes it fun getting there. Trudy never says an unkind thing to anyone. And, You Don't Feel Stupid When You Get Something Wrong Or Need Help.
She gives the most word problems in the world. Is nice but dropped because I kept doing bad on tests because of the word problems. Plus you have to pass a 2 Gateway exams to pass the class.
one of the best teachers at El Camino. Is very helpful and cares about her students. thier is a lot of work group. i highly recommend her
She's really cool. She actually makes you do homework, I reconmmend her to anyone who's looking for a good math teacher.
trust me... do the homework. She was a great "traditional" math teacher... Anyway, the fall smemster i took her it wasnt the greatest, it seemed like she had a lot of personal problems. Anyway, she's cool if she likes you, dont get on he bad side...
Professor Meyer is a genius when it comes to figuring out the easiest way to solve a difficult math problem. She's very friendly and gives good advice for future math classes. This is one teacher you should not hesitate to take.
Trudy is one of the best math teachers @ El Camino, although her class is not easy. She collects the HW randomly, which forces you to do it. She is a nice person, but don't get on her bad side. She evaluates her students every three chapters. The first two chapters are in quizzes and the last chapter is in the exam along with the previous chapters
Seriously the best math teacher I ever had
I think she should stick to beginer math like 70 she really sucks and is unable to teach well when it is a complex math class she is the worst teacher i have ever had and she cost me a C in that class which i will never forgive her for
ive only been in the class for a few weeks but she seems like a great teacher!:)
She comes to class unprepared,and blames other taechers like Kasabian and Lars for it,always running late misses to many class days and dont confront her with this because she will take it out on your grade,alot of people walk out every day with a blank look on their face,shes not helpful at all and she does not understand half of the work we do
This is one hard class! She does not try to tell you any differently and she does not try to look like a genius by having everything worked out ahead of time. She is VERY available. Wish I had started going to her office sooner!
Trudy is one of the best teachers I have had. She makes math interesting and she really wants her students to succeed. She's friendly and has a very relaxed atmosphere in class. She goes out of her way to help students and to make herself available to anyone needing help.I highly recommend her.
Horrible, is not prepared for class any day...she doesn't teach, we end up teaching ourselves in groups...Doesn't know what she is talking about and we always walk out of class clueless of what she just talked about. Don't ask her for your grade, she will not have it...and half the time the time, the stuff on the quizes was not eovered in class.
Teachers like Trudy give El Camino a BAD NAME, has no teaching skills what so ever, regret taking her, want to go see if I can get my money back... SHAME ON YOU TRUDY !!
Trudy makes teachers at El Camino look bad. She always comes to class unprepared, and lost. Students always walk out of class, we always end up teaching ourselves. She put us in food groups that she calls Tamales and burritos. She's always high on medications and always try to make corny jokes. She misses alot of classes and UR grades suffers. Run.
Professor Meyers is a very good teacher. She's very laid back. ALthough she's forgetful at times, she's very helpful. All the people complaining about her that are in math 70 are lower need a reality check. If you can't even pass basic math with Professor Meyers or with any professor than you're a true moron. It's not THAT difficult to understand..
Decent class. Although some of the topics she explains in class are hard to understand, she is more than willing to help you during office hours. Although rater below is bit harsh, if you can't pass basic math with a C or higher than college might be too hard for you.
This is a teacher who made me realize how much I enjoy math! Very good at what she does. Trudy is by far the best math teacher here...If you think you aren't good at math, she will show you a way that makes sense to you. I am not kidding.
Very good teacher. Her test are normal test but she gives students partial credit on the problem.Some math teachers will mark the whole problem wrong but not her she gives partial credit. highly recommend her for math
Find another professor unless you are already strong in math and want to teach yourself. Never prepared and seldom clear with explainations. I do believe she knows the subject herself however is not effective in teaching it.
Took class in summer. She is faaaar better than teacher I had in fall (Avakyan). Highly recommend to students who hasn't taken a math class in years. Just always be on time, and you do great in class! She gave a [easy] quiz every day in the 1st 5 mins (don't be late!!!). Easy way to get a good grade!
Terrible teacher. She gives you a lot of homework, activities, quizzes (take home and in class). Even she didn't teach u about new chapter, she still gives u hw. Then u have to work in group (so boring)
Well, I guess it's a very fickle thing with this teacher. She is extremely helpful if you are willing to show the effort, she practically gives you what is on the test. But, she requires a lot of out-of-class time in order to have the fullest educational experience. Overall a very great teacher, and very understanding. Do not show up late.
shes a clear teacher and helps you out alot. You need help go to her office hours, she'll do anything to get you to understand the subject. works on educo.com a computer thing, if your broke dont buy the book just purchase the code from her you will never open the text lets you do over a test of ur choice
VERY dedicated teacher. if you have trouble with math classes TAKE HER CLASS. she gives these "gateway" tests that will make you relearn the basics that you have messed up over the years so that you will do better all around in the class. requires a lot of work, but its WORTH IT. go to her during office hours for help, she's very receptive and cool
SO much fun, i loved this class. Math was fun for me for the first time! Her teaching methods rock, she is easy, and gives you plenty of chances to raise your grade. Homework can be made up and she is understanding. Just don't be late or turn your cell phone on, be respectful and she will totally have your back. A great teacher!
She was extremely helpful and pretty easy. Just do well on the tests and you'll do fine. Homework rarely collected but helpful if you keep up with it
creative way of teaching
She is so talented in teaching math, and she really wants to help her students, which she does all the time. i took her class over the winter, but it did not feel like a winter class. it was easy, although it was fast. she made math very easy. she is kool, TAKE...... HER! Had an A+ in the class.....
She's awesone. I didnt pass her class, but im taking it agina with her. She is so fun and down to earth. she's extremely helpful on everything. she dosent even give homework. she tells you everything piece of informatin on upcoming tests. she so awesome. i highly recommehd her. Go fo it!!!!!
She was a great proffesor! Very patient and very nice! i had her early in the morning during winter and although the class was hard and i wasnt doing that great, she was very encouraging and helpful thoughout the semester! I didnt get a good grade but not because of her.i should have studied more. I HIGHLY recommend her!
i didn't care for her. when i had questions or needed help she wouldn't help me. she had a messed up attitude and thought it was funny. i wish i knew about her before i took her class. DO NOT EVER TAKE HER CLASS.
Terrible Teacher. Easy Class. Be prepared to teach yourself. She does things backwards. You'll do your homework on new material alone by yourself online and then when you get to class she'll ask if you have any questions and teach you a different way. Makes no sense! Cant teach. Thinks she's so funny. Talks about herself for an hour then wont helpu
She was not a very good teacher. She makes you do the homework before she teaches the section. But the one thing that I did like was she gave us a grace day for turning it in late ..for every homework assignment

If you took a math class prior to this take her class. Despite my shortcoming I learned a lot. She really went all out of her way to help us even welcoming us into her home.She was good about encouraging us to read ahead.She didn't grade more than 10-20 problems per section. But you had to be accurate or do additional ones.Timed tests:1 hour.
Horrible teacher, she does not know how to teach calculus at all. Gives 1 example for each section and spends rest of class reminiscing about her undergrad years. If you do have the misfortune of being in her class, then be ready to teach yourself. She should really just stick with teaching arithmetic.
Trudy extremely helpful. gave me a strong foundation to continue with. I HATED math until now, i actually get it now. Works with educo. which givs you opportunity to correct homeworks for 100% scores on quizzes also. In class exams u are given opportunity to correct your missed problems for half credit. Highly recommend.
Seriously, worst teacher I have ever had. Makes you do the HW before she teaches you how to do the stuff you just had to teach yourself how to do.. SO DUMB. She is scatter brained, forgets what she is talking about half the time, goes off on boring stories and just is plain un-helpful. Don't take her if you want to actually learn something.
She has a unique style of teaching that attempts to bring abstract and concept based math theories into some semblance of practicality. She is not only knowledgeable but helpful to a fault. She will put as much effort in to teaching as the student does for learning. This is full contact education...no spoon feeding allowed!
SHE HAS A SPECIAL TYPE OF TEACHING BUT HER GROUP WORK HELPS PUT A LOT. SPECIALLY THE ACTIVITIES IN CLASS. YOU HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF CLASSWORK BECAUSE IF YOU DONT YOU CAN EASILY FALLBACK BEHIND. AND ALWAYS GO TO SI SESSIONS THEY HELP YOU ALOT AND SOME QUESTIONS ARE IN THE EXAM PLUS SHE LETS YOU RETAKE THE EXAM 3 TIMES.
She is a very helpful teacher, make sure to read before going to lecture, it will help you. She did quite a bit to help our grades and brings a good attitude to the class. She is a bit forgetful sometimes, oh well :P
Doesnt know how to teach. She is confusing & doesnt give much notes & explaining. Instead of making the class easy to comprehend the the subject she makes it harder. She gives problems with no examples given during class nor in the text book. She wants you to read& learn frm the book but yet none of her teaching & handouts reflects on the book.
Trudy, as she likes to be called,is very sweet and encouraging; she tries to understand her students. She gives many opportunities to boost your grade, and tries very hard to let the students know she is there to help. Yes, reading the book is mandatory. She is very easy to reach through email,and even lent out her phone number for questions.
Horrible teacher! Does not know how to teach. Makes so many mistakes during lectures. Terrible. I do not recommend her.
I already struggle in math as it is and this teacher did not make my experience easier. Always making mistakes, absent minded, does not lecture clearly. not engaging or hands on.
She is the best Math teacher ever, very smart and very practical. she love to help her student, her style of teaching depends on student solving Math problem and asking questions more than spoon feeding the students. it is the best style for students who want to learn math not pass exams. if you really want to learn math I recommend her strongly.

INCOMPREHENSIBLE BEYOND BELIEF. UNDERSTANDING WHAT SHE WANTS FROM YOU IS LIKE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE, AND SHE HER EXPLANATIONS ARE NOT CLEAR YOU MAY HAVE TO GO AROUND THE ANSWER BOUT A GOOD 50 TIMES BEFORE YOU GET THERE.
At the time when I took her 170 class I felt lost, but she really teaches you the most important aspects that help in future classes. She can go around in circles to explain something, but she is very willing to help. Because of her I was able to help my fellow student in 180 with Trig because of her. I actually learned.
Very helpful, gives good overall insight from different angles. Very knowledgeable and accessible for questions. Wants you to understand the material. Highly recommend her.
Assigns tons of homework. Very unorganized. Was veryyyy strict about tardy's and absences with a 7:00am class. Personally not my type of teacher. Wouldn't even come close or near passing without your classmates group help. Would never take her class again.
First F in my entire life! I do not reccomend and near drop date if you ask her if you have a chance she encourages you to continue on and then gives me an F.I got tutored the entire time but definitely did not deserve an F. I showed up everyday and did all my homework.
She doesn't know how to teach, always get mad with students for simple thing. And she make student stress, she is horrible. taking her classes are wasting time.
She does not help students, I would recommend her only if she is the only math teacher in the El Camino College. If I learnt something from that class that's from my group members, not from her. She is always angry, never take her morning classes if you wish, She will ruin your day.
She is very unorganized, passes out activities like there's no tomorrow which are pointless. Very strict on tardiness if you are 2 minutes late she'll kick you out like that is supposed to help you at all. You pretty much have to take her APPLES' everyday if you wish to pass, if you get on her bad side she'll start picking on you for anything.
Trudy is a fantastic teacher. Yes there is homework but if you do the homework you WILL do well in the class. She's always available to help you if you need it. I LOVED Trudy, I was bummed she wasn't teaching Statistics.
She doesn't know how to teach. She makes students do all the work on their own without showing how to do it. She makes us guess how to solve a problem we don't even know. She's all over the place. She's also gets off topic a lot :/ she's nice but not a good teacher. I love math but her class makes me not like it
Very nice professor. Not intimidating at all. Always offers to help her students. She is very strict with attendance, so make sure you show up on time.
The worst teacher I have had in elcamino. Don't take her class!!!!
Ms. Meyer wasn't the best teacher, but you can tell she at least tries. She is SUPER strict with attendance and is not afraid to call people out about it. She likes giving pop quizzes which were pretty annoying. I found her to be pretty rude about things. But hey I passed. I probably wouldn't take her for a future math class.
Trudy is always available if you have any questions, she tries to make everything simple.
Trudy was kind of dis organized but made up for it in kindness , patience and persistence she does does t want you to fail! I would take her again and again if I could
She kinds of babys you a bit. She talks to you in a gentle voice like a preschool teacher. She is smart but she can be very forgetful sometimes. She is reasonable and I did fairly well because I took calc before. Her notes aren't that good so you have to do a lot of self studying.
She was strict and hard at first. But she made up for it with being extremely helpful.
I knew trig was hard but i didn't expect her to basically make us teach our selves. She makes you do video notes, online homework and reading on the average school night. she even said pick and choose what you need to do because she gave you to much homework. take her class if you can learn by yourself. She would expect you to.
She is a great person and she loves math.
A good teacher but not recommended for summer since the teacher speeds through the material. I was left confused on how to do certain problems.
At the beginning of class it was very difficult, a lot of other students complain about her teaching. But if you actually go to her office hours she will really help you out and she also gives great advice. We didn't have a textbook, she just gave us packets. The access code you will need to purchase. Attendance is a MUST! Great math prof.!
1. Bad professor as she is not really good in math as the other teachers. Take another one. 2. The homework on the WEB-ASSIGN is completely different than what she explains in the lecture. 3. She make you explain for yourself as she assigns videos. 4. Not really harsh in grading. 5. If you are really good in math, you may lose your skills.
She is a really nice and caring teacher. Alot of the class time is spent working with other classmates, so this is good for someone who like doing group work. The homework is done online. So you need to purchase the a NEW book that has the online access code so you can do your homework. If you do not do your homework you will definitely fail.
If I had not passed it was my own fault. The professor actually reached out to her students. She offered to talk to me in my time of depression. She helped me get through my tough times. I never thought a professor with a warm heart existed. She is the reason why I passed math and all my other classes. I wish we had more professors that cared.
She is very nice but she doesnt know how to teach.
Self taught with MML Lots of group and paperwork Dis-organized and forgetful I think over half the class dropped Lots of arguing between other students and professor Came to class saying she didn't take her meds TLDR; I only passed because I studied my tail off using MML
Trudy is really a great person and means well but she does not have the best teaching skills. Only take Math 37 if you are capable of teaching your own self. You use an online program and that is about it. She does cut some slack but if you disobey her rules she will kick you out of the classroom. She talks a lot about unnecessary things.
This professor is okay to take if you want easy A. she gives you take home quiz and test is most of your grade. feel like she does not really know about math. I would take other professor if I had a chance
Took her for fall. She is a really nice person but very unorganized during the morning. Her first exam was nothing like her lecture. Highest grade I earned was a high B on her second exam. Go to office hours and pass her gateways. Take home exam portions are cake and you can pass.
It's up to you if you want to pass Trudy makes sense and makes sure that you are understanding how she's explaining the material but it's up to you too speak up and say yes I do or no I don't understand and if you don't she would do anything possible to help any student
Trudy is a great person, but she lacks the ability to be organized.. She does offer help during her office hours which is RECOMMENDED if you really need help. However in class, she discusses ONE question a student asks and takes up 15 minutes answering it. She covers new lessons quickly and if you don't get it it's your fault. Won't ever take again
She's nice but she really can not teach. More than half of my class dropped her course last minute because she basically is super unorganized, strict, and messy inside the classroom. We never know if something's due or not. She's available outside of the class though.
This teacher has a terrible teaching method. Shes a complete air head and constantly brings up her personal life. And yet does not let students that have their own personal things going on deal with them. She tries to call out students and be little them. She is by far one of the worst teachers Ive ever had. She needs to change everything.
Awful professor. This COVID-19 situation would make you think that she'd understand the plight of students who are having an extraordinarily hard time making ends meet while also trying to take a class. But no empathy was shown on her part in the slightest. Even after putting in work, she chooses not to make that reflect the final grade. Stay away.
Trudy lacks the ability to teach, but it's redeemed since you can boost your exam grades with group projects & test corrections. Her lectures are way too long so I'm glad she records them. She gives lots of homework on WebAssign and worksheet notes to complete. Overall, if you work hard to finish her class you'll pass with an A. (I'm hella stupid)
Trudy is alright to be honest. I wouldn't take again, but I wouldn't try and AVOID her. Encourages asking questions, gives out plenty of information via notes, encourages you to work with your class, even using a group chat remotely. The only problem I have is her use of the respondus browser. It slows my PC to a crawl and cripples me during tests.
I had Calc 2 online with Trudy, and I just don't think that she was cut-out to teach online. The lectures weren't very engaging, and oftentimes we would run out of time. She was alright, some of my main gripes lay with when she would deny students help because of time constraints. Take notes, pay attention, and ask questions and you should be ok.
Trudy is a sweetheart, she is really nice and easygoing but she does not know how to teach or anything about mathematics at all. She's retired now so nobody will read this review but I remember she would have to watch YouTube videos to find out how to teach a particular topic. She's really nice overall but kills your grade last minute with final.
