Terrible teacher doesn't teach and then gives us online homework she doesn't even go over in class.

Hamlin is awful. Do not take her for anything ever. She constantly told my class how we were F students in high school and how stupid we were. If she had actually tried to teach us, we maybe could have learned something. She hardly taught, if you consider what she actually did as teaching. Save yourself and your grade. Don't take her class.

She doesn't teach at all, assigns hw online and never goes over it. Terrible!

I would strongly recommend not to take this class. you will waste your money. She does not behave with the qualities of a professional college teacher. Gets into arguments with students during class. She's on her phone more then the actual students in her classroom are. Has no desire to teach. reads straight from power points. very rude.

Assigned homework online and most of it is material you don't go over in class. She will help you with homework if you don't understand, so you just need to email her. You pretty much teach yourself if her feedback isn't helpful. Reads straight from powerpoint, and goes fast.

If you are ready for a teacher to give smart remarks, rude comments, and make you feel dumb. Then dont take her especially if you value your gpa and stress level. She will assign homework on top of homework and her test are never like the study guide. She waits until the class is about empty and two days left of class to start teaching something.

how about and inverse of an inverse of a inverse function? Thursday class homework due Friday morning even though next session is Monday. Plan on at least 100 calculations per assignment. Answer to inquiries are read the assignment, watch the videos.

This class is the worst class Ive ever taken in my life. She doesnt really reach anything and when she does its super confusing. If you take this class, get ready to reach yourself & have lots of homework!

Entirely too much homework given The amount of homework was so vast that it was the difference between a F and a C. If you want an easy College Algebra class, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She doesn't explain well and simply doesn't care about students learning.

Im not exaggerating when i say Hamlin is the worst professor Ive ever had. She is rude to her students, doesnt know how to teach, and assigns way too much work. For the love of god do not take her.

She is very disrespectful to any student who asks questions in class. She doesn't clearly explain anything and gets angry if you don't understand the first time she explains. Class feels very unorganized. She mumbles during lecture and is very difficult to understand. She moves too quickly to not allow questions. AVOID THIS CLASS.

I love math and always have, but I absolutely hated this class. She made me feel stupid if I asked questions and half the time she solves the problems on the board wrong because she can't read her own notes. She does not teach, she reads slides and expects you to know exactly what she is talking about. Save yourself the stress. Don't take her!

Hamlin should not be teaching anymore. She is an older lady that does not care about the students. She gives an insane amount of online homework, you can barely hear her when she lectures, and even tutoring wont help. I logged 52 hours in the tutoring lab and still failed this class. Out of 12 students, 4 dropped & out of the 8, only 3 passed.

If you are not the type who goes to every single class or someone who does homework/study everyday... dont take her class. There is a lot of homework and the content you do in class is much easier than the homework she gives you. She is not understanding of any hardships going on outside of class, and almost refuses to help her students.

If math is not your strong suite i would definitely avoid Victoria Hamlin. She goes WAY too fast during lectures and gets angry at the class for not participating but she has gone so fast that we are so lost and do not understand what is going on. Shes very snapping as well. Her explanation is poor. She is so smart she doesnt know how to simplify

This professor told us if we did not score at least a B on the first two tests we shoukd drop out and reconsider. We were given homework that did nit matfh the textbook or the lectures ans the tests duffered from any study guide/review given.

AVOID HER CLASS AT ALL COST!! She made my anxiety go up sooo much!! She was my first class to withdraw from and I am a straight A student. Trust me, she is NOT worth it. Look for another professor. Her test are so hard and she does oral testing. If you have her, GET OUT OF IT AND GOOD LUCK.

Hamlin teaches the material just fine I suppose. However I feel she is disrespectful to her students. I'm a bit slow when it comes to getting things done, but I get them done in the end. On a couple of occasions she has sent me unnecessary, rude emails regarding my work ethic. I don't expect a prof. to care, but I do expect them to be professional.

Professor Hamlin just starts teaching and doesnt even explain what it is shes teaching she just reads off the powerpoint and teaches like shes working herself through the problems. When asked a question she answers something totally different most of the time and doesnt answer the actual question this makes it basically pointless to ask.

Rude and condescending. Hands down the worst professor I have ever had. She literally rolls her eyes at you for not knowing the content and claims that it should have been learned in high school. Its college level applied calculus. Will belittle you for being late but she has been late every day, even on test days!

Yeah just don't take her, wait and get someone better.

The rudest teacher I have had yet. She constantly gets onto her students for not asking questions, but she works through problems like she's talking to herself rather than teaching to the students. Once you start to retain some of it and you have a question she'll be moved onto another problem. Tests are nothing like the study guide she gives.

Professor Hamlin is unmotivated and at times is disrespectful to students. She often makes mistakes while working problems out on the board and in her powerpoint sides. Do not take her.

Rude and disrespectful to students. While she is obviously knowledgeable her lectures feel like a presentation to a room full of mathematicians not students trying to learn. Rushes through everything and will not answer your questions if she feels like she has already explained it.

DO NOT TAKE HER!! SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH. Her lecture are copy and paste from the book. She goes through them not teach them. PowerPoint are trash. Her tests are hard and shes always disrespectful to students when they ask questions because she does not know how to answer them. OMG if you pass her class with a C be thankful bud! Good luck

Worst professor I have ever had. Is rude to students and just does not know how to teach students. I have been a straight A student up until her course, and am having to retake it this summer. If you get her, just switch to another professor. It is not worth the time and tears. Also the option was not given but this was for Math 1910, Calculus 1

AVOID IF POSSIBLE. Does very little to actually help you learn. The pace of the class is "how fast can the teacher solve the problem and move on to the next problem?" Doesnt do anything to make sure you understand the material beyond the initial lecture portion. Grade weight is almost entirely test based.

Hamlin was the WORST. She did not respect personal boundaries in regard to my DAC-registered disability. Doesnt care about student learning & is extremely condescending when addressing questions. lectures copied from textbook, basically teach yourself bc her back is always turned to the class and she ignores most questions. 0/10, DO NOT RECOMMEND!

a very rare unfortune situation where the professor makes an easy material class difficult. If you're gonna take this class, pe prepared to teach yourself the material, and even that wouldn't be enough.

You're gonna have to teach yourself here. She's prone to moving due dates up on a whim, and has an overall bored, disconnected, grumpy attitude. If you have to take the course and the instructor is listed as "TBA", take enough classes that you can drop this one if you end up with her. Taking a class with Hamlin is setting yourself up for failure.

She stands in front of the board writing the problems and doesn't explain what she is doing. She is simply mean. I asked for help on homework and she told me to go to tutoring. She rolled her eyes and huffed when I asked for clarification on homework. She does not know what she is talking about. PLEASE AVOID HER!!!!!!

She is extremely monotone and makes it very hard to pay attention in class. EVERY. SINGLE. HOMEWORK. ASSIGNMENT. Has 30+ questions and they're always the same thing with minor changes. Doing homework for this class might make you go insane. Even if you're good at math you could struggle with her, do yourself a favor do not take this class with her.

DO NOT TAKE HER!!! She does not explain problems thoroughly and is does not use time wisely. She did not even go over fully the study guide for a test and the test was the next class day. She rushes through problems without explaining where and how to even get the corresponding numbers. Many people I know have dropped this class because of her.

Professor Hamlin is hands down the worst professor I have ever had. I ended up dropping her class after emailing her for advice on how to improve my grade in her class and her response was "I suggest you drop my class and retake it when you feel like putting effort into your grades because if you cared you wouldn't be failing". mtsu needs to fire!!

Do not take this class if you have other options. She faces the board and just talks she doesn't explain what she is actually doing and when you ask a questions you receive a snarky answer. Lots of homework and you will have to teach yourself. Only good thing is you can have a note card on test and if you show your work you might get half credit.

She is very montone and reads the board the whole time during lectures and expects you to know everything already and just speeds thru problems and leaves you in the dust. She hates answering questions you ask. The tests are usually nothing like the practice tests and homework she assigns so in the end you will have to teach yourself everything.

She doesn't seem like a bad person but she's terrible as a professor. I tried to tough it out but ended up withdrawing because I didn't have the time to learn what I wasn't being taught outside of class. I'm a straight A student and can generally work with difficult classes. Even my advisor told me many other students had dropped right before I did

Speeds through lectures as if everyone knows what she's talking about. The homework requires you to give specific answers in certain forms that aren't specified nor taught in class.

drop if u can

if you need to take time to understand problems or formulas do NOT take this class. literally speeds through the units as if you've been doing this for years. you'd begin working on unit 3.1 then end up being on 3.5 within the 1 hour of her class and she expects you to understand within that timeframe or "know this already from high school".

You will put more unnecessary hours into a GEN ED class than you will ever put in your major classes if you decide to stick with this professor. Get ready to teach yourself on all the notes given to you as she believes that you should know the material already since it was "taught in high school" as she loves to quote that.

Dr.Hamlin was a very careless professor. I struggle with this class, took study hall with a tutor, and even asked Dr.Hamlin for extra help and her reply was “I don't think you're going to pass this class”. I was not offered help as well as given no answers as to if she could help me. Test 20 questions so good luck, if you miss two your screwed.

absolute worst teacher ive ever had. 2nd week of school learning something new and she yells at us for not knowing something we were "taught in high school" (we weren't). also holy crap what is with all this homework, two assignments per class with on average 15 questions each, most being difficult. if you dont get a 60 on the final you fail period

The class was so awful that after lectures I'd sit outside and appreciate nature.

organic chemistry tutor teaches better than this "professor". All she does is reads (mumbles) from the powerpoints (not hers) and immediately expects us to know the answers if asked. Calculus I is honestly not a hard class if taught by a good professor but my goodness is she the opposite. good luck if you have to take her

I didn't learn a single thing in this class, the only was I got close to passing was from learning stuff on my own time. All she does is say what she's writing on the board without explaining it. sometimes she will just work out a problem in complete silence. I ended with a 69 in the class and she refused to pump my grade up to let me pass.

you will definitely be teaching yourself 100%. she goes through the slides and works the problems but doesn't tell you how to get there, then erases it, and gets frustrated when you dont get it. doesn't make sure the class knows whats going on she just keeps moving. hw was lowk absurd, tons of problems when she didnt even teach it that way shown.

IM ONLY 3 WEEKS IN AND I ALREADY WANT TO GO IM VERY GOOD AT MATH AND NEVER HAVE REALLY STRUGGLED WITH IT BUT SHE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO AND WHEN I DO SHES TYPICALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW SHE HAD ANOTHER CLASS OR HER RAISE ISNT BIG ENOUGH. MAY ASWELL BE YOUR OWN INSTRUCTOR.

Belittles you when you don't know how she worked something out. Makes you feel as if you don't know anything when you ask a question

Three homework assignments, one being a quiz grade, due over the weekend (one on Saturday night), with a test Monday morning. Are we serious? Organic Chemistry Tutor is the only reason I know what's going on. When asked to explain something, she doesn't really explain it and kinda just says what she wrote down in a different way (equally unhelpful)

The fact that MTSU lets her stay on the staff is absurd. I don't know her personally, maybe she is a smart person but she is not a good teacher. No time is taken in class to make sure the students know what is going on and the lectures are long and convoluted. When you ask questions she treats you like it is not her responsibility to answer.

This is by far the worst education experience I have ever received out of my 20 years of life. She does not teach. She solves math problems on the board without ever pausing or even looking at the class to see if they understand. When anyone in the classroom asks questions, we are treated like idiots and told we should already know the material.

She only writes questions and answers on the board without explaining the steps, making the class hard to understand. She moves too fast through assignments and isn't accessible outside of class. Asking questions feels discouraged. Overall, this was a difficult learning experience and I wouldn't recommend the course.

Hardest class of my life. Such long lectures but didn't learn a single thing. Like 20 people dropped within the first week there was 5 of us left at the end. Just save your time a choose a new professor.

Felt like I learned nothing for the first 3 weeks I was there. Dropped the class because she expected us freshman, who many did not take calculus in high school, to already know what to do. Had her at 9:10 in the morning, hard to stay away and she was always in a bad mood. Would not recommend.

Professor Hamlin isn't the best teacher. During class most of the time is spent looking at notes a staring at her standing at the board working one or 2 problems for a whole subsection in a unit then moving on. She seemed to not care about the class and always seemed grouchy. Math tutoring in the library is the only way to learn her material.
