Algebra 102, hardest teacher I've ever had, does not go over homework, and she does not review for tests. Most people either drop her class or flunk. Sure tell Midlands Tech something!
like this instructor, she is all business, loves her profession, solid. She does not go over homework but very thorough in her instruction. Do the work that is expected outside the classroom, you will not have problem. You will get want you put in it
i failed.. her class is super hard..stay away...
Best math teacher I have ever had. Loves what she is doing. But, don't go in without preparing to do work outside the class
No Comments
Very tough! Does not review for tests. Her test questions are designed to flunk. However, she is very knowledgable in math. My advice is find an easier instructor.
best math teacher I have ever had.She prepared me to excel in all my class not just math.would have taken her for all my math if I was able. All math instructors after her did not measure up!!!!!!!!
Hard as hell.. Failed.
Whatever you do, do not take this teacher. Tests are set up so that you will fail. 3/4 of the class dropped. The other 1/4 made C's or below.She answers all questions with a question.Very militant!
MTC has found a jewel of a math instuctor. She is excellant, clear, concisive, and prepares you for her test. she is hard and challenging. I made A's but It is not a
She has a broad vocabulary therefore it is hard for you to understand. You need a dictionary to understand her.
Difficult but fair! She let's you know at the beginning that she's not an "easy" teacher. The only math class I got less than an A in.
Does she still have the GI Jane look going on? I took her in 98 She is absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had in my life she told me I should go to a trade school when I asked a question and told me I was unapproachable - what does a teacher do? Dont take this - HAHA- I'm going to law school!
Took her in 2002, now at USC. She is the best math teacher, yes hard, but when ya go to USC, you'll know what to do in other higher classes. People say she's hard because she doesn't just give ya the grade. She makes you learn and work for it. She should be commended. You go girl, screw everyone els
If you want to keep a good GPA dont take her. The test is nothing like the work you will do in class or the book. she will not help you so don't ask. every one in my class passed 155 or 101 with an A or B. But everyone in my class all 20 of us failed. Our highest test score was a 70.
If you see her name on your schedule and you want to pass, DROP the class and get a diff. professor! The tests are nothing like the material in the book or what is gone over in class! I went to tutoring and still couldn't get through it!
She makes everything alot harder than it should be. She doesn't answer questions clearly and makes you feel like your not able to ask questions comfortably.
the worst teacher i ever had...made a D...when i got to 102 and 110 i made a B...this lady is not a good teacher...she doesnt test on what she teachers and in her words all the math you have learn in your school life is worng...WHAT THE HECK...then why the hell did we learn it...she make it impossible to ask questions
She was kind of strict, but she loves math and it shows. I enjoyed the struggle in her class, and felt like i really got something out of it when it was all over.
All I can say is I had her two days and dropped while I could. Get Mr. Akers or Mr. Long. Ms. Anderson is hard and yes it is important to be challeneged, but she is rediculous.
Mrs Anderson is a very nice lady but a horrible teacher. Out of 20 students I think 3 students passed with a C. I have talked to several other class mates and every one i talked to failed her class. If you take math do not take her unless you are very smart in math and want a chalenge.
I thank my lucky stars I had Ms. Anderson. The foundation she gave me in math carried through to all my other classes. If you want to learn, this is the class for you. If you want to be spoon fed and not have a great foundation, go elsewhere.
She's very "by-the-book" and she has no exceptions. This may work for others, for most it doesn't. She's seems to have an attitude as well.
This lady is the last person you should ever want to learn anything from. Most of what I learned is that us college kids are immature and that she was going to throw me a curve ball on tests. This lady sucks.
This is the WORST math teacher EVER!! You will fail her class- I was failing after the first test and I had gotten all of the homework right. It's definately her- I took Math 101 with another professor the next semester and got an A. She is absolutely out of her mind and there might be four people that actually pass it.
This woman should be taken out, fired and sent back to hell where she came from. There is no reason she should be so damn rude, crude and extremely assenine.
She a very nice lady, but unless you're some super math genius(making all A's and above type genius)...DON'T TAKE HER.
Wanda Anderson SUCKS. I could go on and on preaching about how bad Wanda is. Just imagine that everything you get in you favorite class is completely reversed. Terrible teacher and doesn't care about any of the students. She is out to get nothing but seeing student fail. Just look at that crew cut hair. This is the worst class ever in history
At first I didn't like her, but after a few weeks, I began to appreciate her style of teaching. She is a very good teacher, but you really have to work your butt off if you want to pass. She has a passion for math and believes life should be a challenge, and will not just hold your hand or let you slide right through.

didn't teach the subject well, spoke unclearly,
Wanda Anderson is a horrible teacher. She knows a lot about math but she does not know how to teach other people. She has an awful attitude. She was completely worthless. 3 people out of my class of 22 passed. That should tell you something about her teaching skills. I took Math 101 after trying to take it with ms. anderson and I received a B.
She was absolutly horrible. She will give you the hardest problems no matter what. She made me feel stupid and she wasn't willing to help at all. I don't recommend her for anyone to take. Take my advice and stay away from her!
good luck in her class, the problems on her tests are a lot harder than any of the problems in the text. Each and every single test problem will be extreemly difficult to solve even if you know the work. I made my lowest grade so far at tech (C). I think that may have been the highest grade my class
Provided help when student seeked, but in class will try to crucify you on a test. She teaches from the book, but makes up tests from hell.
I took this class as a refresher. I took through calculus in high school, but this was my first math class in 7 or 8 years. It was HORRIBLE. She would make up ridiculous problems on the test that were on a completely different level than what we were learning in the book. In class, I was able to answer things without much trouble, but the test.
horrible teacher, she would fly through the problems and would not give you a chance to ask questions, she has test from hell and i would not reccomend this teacher to a genius
Keeps the class in tune when she teaches. Must pay attention or you will fail.
shes got a heart but do not take this class!! what she teaches in class is nothing like what she gives on her tests. recommend not taking this class unless its a last resort.
if i was to rate her as a person shes kind BUT im not. the material she teaches in class is nothing like what she gives on her tests. do not take this class unless its a last resort. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!
Miss anderson is by far the worst teacher i have ever had math or any other subject. The test are nearly impossible to pass. the material on the test does not reflect the homework and class work. I have never struggled in a class as i have hers. My advice to any one taking math at midlands tech is stay away from her and her classroom.
Very straight forward, expect to utilize other resources for extra help.
By far the hardest class I have ever taken. I came from a University with a 4.0 and had to drop the class because there was no way I could pass. Does not test on what she teaches.
Worst Professor ever!
Mrs. Anderson expects her students to know information that is ten times harder than what is in the book. On top of that, she doesn't give the students enough of the hard material in order to be able to pass the tests. So, even if you take notes, do your homework and pay attention, it seems almost impossible. Save yourself, don't take her class.
Makes test hard by using challenging problems involving fractions, decimals, mixed measurements, and strage wording. NO EASY PROBLEMS
Would not take her class if at all possible Horrid Professor
horrible teacher. i retook MAT 101 this semester after i got a D last semester by 2 points with her...i got a HIGH B!!! this semster with another teacher. Mr. Austin. (GREAT TEACHER!!) wanda is horrible. DONT GET HER!!!
get out while you can. test have nothing to do with her teaching or the book. wont answer in class questions, will not explain material.
From what I've heard...she sucks!! Why is she still there if she hates teaching? She is just there for the paycheck! She needs to be fired and she should ride on the back of a garbage truck because she STINKS!!!
Everyone in my class complains about her, the way she teaches and her 6 question test. We're all failing. So obviously she is the common denominator. Midlands need to take a look at her as well as these evaluations and get rid of her! She's doing a very poor job at helping students. Unless you want to fail, get another teacher!
She sucks! I had her and all me and her did was argue! DO NOT GET HER!! She's not helpful and really has a bad attitude.
You couldn't find a worst teacher than this. Test material is on an entirely different level than the material covered in class. Assigns homework but won't help you with it if you have questions and doesn't take time to make sure you understand a chapter before moving on. YOU WILL FAIL HER CLASS!
She is a horrible teacher. Do not take her classes. Bad attitude.
Awful Teacher!!! Refuses to help you understand things, makes test infinitely harder than material covered in class. I have never made less than a B in a class until this lady. You will fail!!!! This lady is a math Nazi!!!
Awful teacher. Does not enjoy teaching! Doesn't go over homework assignments, tests have NOTHING to do with what she talks about in class. Half of the class dropped before the 2 week mark. DO NOT TAKE HER !!
Test are extremely difficult. She teaches super far. Math Nazi!
As far as her attitude towards people she is ok but the problems she makes up and the tests she makes is absolutely insane. I consider myself to be overall good in math till I step in her class. HUGE change, If u are a A math student, in her class u equal a C student. If you care about ur gpa, do not take her. u fail or drop out.A true Nazi she is.
As of right now, I am failing this class. Anderson was at least twenty minutes late for the first six or so classes. I am overall pretty good at math, but I do not understand anything in this class. She cannot teach at all. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
noooooooooooo!!!!!
Ms. Anderson is not a good teacher. Her lessons are totally different from the tests. Possibly the worst math instructor I've ever taken. There's a major difference between being a challenging and impossible teacher. I highly recommend finding someone else. Students drop from her class really fast within the first few days. And she's always late.
Possibly the worse math teacher at Midlands Tech. Does not care if you pass, most students drop out before the 3rd test.
Possibly the worst math teacher at midlands tech. Does not care if you pass or fail, most students dropped before 3rd test.
The worst teacher ever! She should be fired! ugh I'm so upset because i have to retake the class again! but she serious is math Nazi! get out while you can. If its not her way its no way! Def don't recommend.
Noooo! Don't take Mrs. Anderson. She is the worst math instructor ever. She will mess you up and she is not going to guide you throughout the course. In my class, there was about 20 students and then later half of the class dropped out leaving only 7 behind. But what's really odd is that she's allergic to pencil lead and that's just ridiculous.
DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
If u hav always ben an A student n math from 10th to 12th grade I suggest u take her class,if u r an average student of math such as myself I suggest u not take her class,she's more about makn herself look superior to her student than wantn them to actually learn the material and pass.She also stated that the math book we use solve their prob wrong
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! No care for the students. Absolutely no review for tests. Only grades are tests and final exam. DOES NOT FOLLOW BOOK WHAT SO EVER. If by chance you must take her class, study your bum off! She does give bonus point occasionally (ONLY saving grade).
Taking Anderson was the worst decision i ever made. I was warned about her but i thought that coming out of math 100 with a B would make me exceptional. I was wrong. i ended up with a teacher who didnt care if i passed or failed; she only cares about making her self look good. She doesnt even teach out of the book midlands tech!
I took her for only like 2 weeks and had to drop. She hardly teaches the way the textbook teaches so there is no point in getting the book. She teaches her way only and if you don't learn it her way you wont get it right. She also hates using decimals in math and for a math 101 class she teaches you things that will be in a higher level courses.
DO NOT TAKE HER! she will not answer any questions at all. always late to class and blaims the students for trying to interupt her. hard to understand what she is "teaching" i dropped 3 classes in. DO NOT TAKE HER if you need to pass math!
Worst teacher I've ever had the experience of meeting. This woman came in and told us how she would be late every day for class and we better not leave unless we've already waited around for an hour. But don't even make the attempt to be late to her class. Shows up in sweats and a doo rag, wheres the professionalism at? Don't show up to first class
Wanda Anderson is the worst math teacher I have ever had the displeasure of having. No respect for students. Walks in late everyday with an empty look on her face while sporting sweats and a doo rag. God forbid we be late or leave early for anything though. You will be marked absent. I wish I dropped out when I had the chance. Now Im going to fail.
She's the worst teach I've ever had. She doesn't review for tests and if you don't know whats going on in class, she moves on anyways. She puts problems on the test that we never went over in class. You either drop the class for fail. Take your pick.
Ms. Anderson refuses to have review sessions or go over any material because she assumes we wouldn't show up on those days. I for one would show up since i'm paying a lot of money for my education and she's making me fail. Thanks to her i have to put off transferring for another semester because i have to retake the class. worst teach ever!!!
I'd be very wary of taking her. It's apparent that she's teaching well below her level and she doesn't adjust accordingly. If your good at math as I was, you'll probably make it out OK. If not, I'd suggest somebody else. I'd recommend getting the book unless you don't have to practice the material to learn it.
Get out of this class as soon as you can, unless math is your strong subject. I'm good at math and still recieve an F. She is a very hard teacher and teaches way beyond the level that the students are at.
Drop her class now. You are in great DANGER! Failed her 101 class with a 40. Retaking class now and have 95. Only 2 people out of 24 passed her class.
OMG. So i'm not the strongest in math but it is so hard. This class is only for math wiz's if you have her as a teacher not for others who are not math friendly like myself.
easily the worst math teacher ive ever had. Im good enough i exempted out of my math 101 final, but yet i struggle in her class. Coming from akers 101 class to this is a straight nightmare. Doesn't use the book, no point in doing the hw cause it has nothing to do with the test. her test are nothing like the class notes. so hard. allergic to pencil
O my, I came out of mat 100 with an A++ got to her class and it was like taking a foreign language. The quizes didn't do any good and the book was no use. Long story short I took 101 the following semester and passed with another A++..this goes to show sometimes it actually is the teacher.
she was very hard to get along with and never helped after she solved a problem. expected u to know how to do everything that she assigned to the class. DO NOT TAKE HER
The actual class is not difficult but she ask questions during the test that is not covered in the book. The book was easy. I was an A student in 101. I tried using the other book she swore by but I failed.
SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER. AM DEFINITELY ABOUT TO DROP THIS CLASS LIKE A HOT POTATO! IM TRYING TO WAIT UNTIL MIDTERM BUT I DONT THINK I WILL LAST BECAUSE SHE DOESNT HELP AND SHE TALKS REALLY REALLY FAST! THE BOOK IS USELESS BECAUSE SHE DOESNT GO BY IT. WE ARE IN CHAPTER 1 DOING COMPLEX FRACTIONS AND THATS NOT UNTIL CHAPTER 7! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!
No review sessions, moves thru material really fast, doesn't answer questions or offer help outside of class, tests cover material that she never covered, questions are needlessly difficult. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT class, nice lady but she makes the class a lot harder than it needs to be.
DO NOT TAKE HER UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TEACHING YOURSELF! MAKES YOU BUY $180 BOOK FOR HOMEWORK AND DOESN'T EVEN CHECK HOMEWORK. YOU CAN SLEEP IN CLASS JUST DONT TOUCH YOUR CELL. ALL WORK IS DONE IN INK OR SHE THROWS IN TRASH, YOU GET A ZERO. TALKS FAST AND SKIPS STEPS WHEN LECTURING.
Horrible teacher. Does NOT concern herself with students. Starts class LATE. REFUSES to help students understand. Does NOT collect homework therefore will NOT go over it in class to help students. Teaches to fulfill her own ego!HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TEACHER
Don't take her class unless you're a math wiz. Not helpful at all. Had to drop class before it was too late
This class was absolutely terrible! She was always 10-20 minutes late to the class and then would hold us late to make up for it. She DOES NOT teach by the book. She makes up her own problems, which is good for her, but it's useless when it's time to study. If you're actually trying to comprehend the material, do NOT take her class.
JUST STOP NOW. DO NOT TAKE HER. HORRIBLE TEACHER!
VERY HARD. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU STRUGGLE IN MATH
She is EXTREMELY confusing
DO NOT TAKE HERR!!!!!
Instead of reinforcing the concepts within the subject matter to instill confidence among students, she starts with ridiculously long and confusing problems that are genius in her eyes, because she made them up.
She gives you problems that are harder than the ones in the book so you have nothing to practice.
I took Ms. Anderson's class twice and failed both times. Her teaching ethics are very rough and she doesn't grade homework only tests and her tests do not cover what we do in the textbooks or in class. Her tests are very difficult and if you do not get the answer the exact way she does it is considered wrong.
I legit had to withdraw from her class. From the beginning I didn't understand anything she was teaching. I'm okay with math but her teaching style makes you feel stupid. I thought about retaking her class but I might just take another one. Good luck to those who decide to take her. May the odds be forever in your favor!
I, along with almost everyone else in the class, withdrew. Test are way harder than the in class problems.
She is never helpful when it comes to the concepts, and she honestly does not care if you do not understand it. She comes late every class and even on test days, and she does not give extra time. She does not assign any homework, and when we have notes, the notes are easy. Once you get the test, hard as heck. DO NOT TAKE HER. WARNING YOU NOW.
Math tests in black or blue ink only, no pencils!!! I would never take her class again even if it was the last and final requirement for graduation. Must know her way or no way at all. Tests are much more difficult than homework (which is not a requirement) and kind of off subject.
It honestly amazes me that this professor is employed by Midlands Tech. Absolutely horrible, she does not answer a single question that you have without giving attitude. The only grade you will receive are from tests. Your notes and study material will be NOTHING like your test. By the end of my semester with her, there were a total of 9 people!
By far the worst teacher I've ever experienced during my college. A word of advice for future may 101 students DO NOT TAKE WANDA ANDERSON!!! Our class went from 30 to 8 and only 2 passed overall.
How to cover this rotten teacher in 350 words is not possible. Shows up late, gives no credit for any work. BAD ATTITUDE!! I wasted 475 bucks on her class and even went to the head of the department which they could care less. They got my money and i got screwed. She will confuse the whole class and gets off on it. I have no idea how she has a job.
terrible! not enough space for me to explain how bad she is, do not take for 101&102, does not test on what she teaches, comes in 15 min late on test days and u take a difficult quiz made from her own idea after the test on same day take anyone else I would take an 8pm night class before her
Worst professor ever! I am usually an A student but this class was a struggle for me. She was unwilling to help students with problems in class, was sarcastic when class didn't catch on and graded very strictly. Not what I expected in entry level math. Most of the class withdrew after midterm. Do not attempt if you want to maintain a good GPA.
Probably the worst teacher I've had at MTC. Usually I'm really good at math and I catch on quickly but she made it like every thing I've ever learned was wrong which confused everyone and if you don't do the work her way, it's wrong. She doesn't care about her students being successful in her class. Do not take her.
The most difficult thing I have done in a while is thinking I was going to pass Anderson's class. I was fore warned about the difficulty. But was suckered on my registration with a class and the instrutor was TBA. First day of class Wanda Anderson. She has a nice personality, but she teaches on an advance level. I believe this is done on purpose.
Only gives tests and quizzes
I have never been bad at math and made A's all in high school on the same exact algebraic material. Not her class. I had to drop before the midterm in order to save my GPA. And I do not just drop classes. I would absolutely not recommend her unless you're very good at math. Our class started around 35 students and my mid-semester only 8 remained.
This is by far the hardest class I have ever taken. She gives homework but does not grade homework. Five tests are the only grades you get, there is NO extra credit. I stayed on top of hw assignments and received tutoring regularly and still failed the exams. Has made my first semester at MTC very difficult. I will not be returning to school again.
I came in knowing I would pass. I've made A's in math all throughout high school, but as soon as I took her class I started failing. I don't normally blame teachers, but it isn't the material, it's her. Heads up!!! Do not take her class because 9/10 you will fail.
She teaches math completely different from the way I have been learning it my whole life. She makes these crazy problems up off the top of her head and then expects you to know the answer. She would show up late and whole you late to make up for it. Most of the class including myself ended up withdrawing or failing by the end of the semester.
She doesn't teaches that is on the curriculum. She arrives late except for testing. None of the section isn't on the test she just make things up on the top of her head. She needs to be fire from the math department.
I wouldn't recommend the class. She expects you to know "proper terms" of ever single thing you ever learned in a math class. She's over the top during lecture. Head the warning, just don't!
Tests in pen, timed, hard lessons.
Took her for MAT102, Everything was too advanced. She expects you to understand the material. You basically are learning complex material in a rush. I wouldn't recommend this class for people not genuinely good in math.
RUNNNN!! This class was way too advanced and she expects you to remember everything you've learned. She doesn't explain what she means and doesn't elaborate when you ask her something not understanding. I don't recommend this class for anyone.
Do yourself a favor and don't take her. She tries to teach math in a way I've never seen before in my life, and doesn't even teach it well. Unorganized, always late, keeps you late, and expects you to have something mastered after 4 minutes of teaching. We started this semester with about 30 students in the class. There are now 6. Had to withdraw.
Prof is often late. Lectures are short and sometimes even crammed in after tests. Prof expects you to understand the material quickly and gets frustrated easily. Not easy to talk to or listen to. Grade 5 tests (80%) and a final (20%). Only very few points of wiggle room to improve. If you are bad at testing or need a clear lecture, AVOID.
we started the semester with about 22 students, its down to 3 people... that should tell you all you need to know. Please don't take her class
If you see this lady on your schedule immediately change teachers! She is the worst math teacher here. Anything you learn in class or in the textbook is never on the test. And she's very picky, if you don't do something her way it's not the right way. If you ask a question she will not answer it properly. The class only has 2 people left now...
Word of advice? RUN and change classes if you see her on your schedule. Terrible teaching style and she expects you to know material BEFORE she teaches it. If it's something new, she wants you to master it after 5 minutes of learning it. Ridiculously hard and with my experience, worst prof I've had in my 3 years at MTC .
Please! Get Away from this teacher. She nice,but needs to be teaching a high level calculus or something. Teaches MAT102 a to advance of a level . Makes everything confusing,and TEST are killers.
Unorganized teaching style and doesn't teach from the book. She *tries* to teach you new ways that are SO unhelpful and confusing. When signing up for classes even the advisors say stay away. Take my advice and don't take her class.
Only write in pen because apparently pencils aren't good enough for her, you will be assigned a lot of homework that is not even graded, your grade will be consisted of 4 tests and MAYBE "bonus" points IF you get the questions right. You will not be able to use a graphing calculator. The first day I went to this class, was the same day I dropped it
I will not take this class if I was you. She does not like pencils, she intentionally makes her problems EXTREMELY hard. Lots of Hw, and not graded at all. The only grades are the Test and extremely hard Bonus points. ( Definitely no HELP). She isn't going to help if you ask any questions. She answers indirectly Do not take her PLEASE! Terrible.
