The only issue I see is language clarity. Her words have a tendedncy to meld together. Everyone mistook "histogram" for "Instagram" on another occassion she said "cuban" & she means "cubic". Maybe she just doesnt care about pronounciation? Nonetheless, she will help you immediately or on the side, and she repies to email rather quick.
This is the WORST professor I have had from the 2 years I have been at MDC. Her accent is terrible. She's very dismissive, and speaks you as if you were in kindergarten. She only answers questions from the students she want to answer (mostly, the guys). Worst of all, your final grade will be 1 GRADE LOWER if she doesn't like you. She's HORRIBLE!!
This professor knows her material very well, her teaching skills are a little weird. But as long as you ask questions and pay attention you'll understand very easily. Her tests are exactly like the review and their pretty short too. Just keep up with the math lab homework
I have had this teacher since middle school :DDD if i am in college then she's doing something right! Yes she might have a bad accent but she is a wonderful person and helps when needed, plus it's fun to be around her.
shes good, knows her stuff but accent and personality is annoying. But she is helpful when ask for ask for it overall like a C+in grading her
she used to teach in my high school, but i never had her until now. her accent is not as hard to understand as some people described. so far we have had 2 tests and i've got an A on both. she's great, she helps you when you need help, the lab can give you a whole ten extra credit points.
She's a confusing professor. She does a bunch of problems on the board and will write different parts of the problem everywhere. If you struggle, I wouldn't take her. There are four test which is pretty much your grade. Connect math is like 10% of your grade and it takes forever. She also does binder checks every test. She's whatever.
I took mgf1106 her classes are very clear and she is there for you when you ask for help, just show her that you are interested in learning and she will help you.
Great Professor. Understandable lectures and always gives clear reviews before exams. Great attitude. Really recommend this professor.
Very hard to understand her and her lectures. Only helpful when you're one on one with her. Hw's and quizzes are not due on certain days, she randomly selects when they are due. I wouldn't recommend taking her.
If you are not good in math, please do not take this class with this professor. She is dismissive, rude and very fast! Is not willing to help and if she does she has no patience. She also has an accent and makes it difficult to understand. She has been the worse professor I have ever taken in college.
She helps a lot, and is one of the funniest professor in Miami dade .I understood everything in her class.
Very helpful professor, she knows her stuff very intellectual, you can tell she loves what she does. If your good with math you should have no problem in this class. I recommend you to go to the lab you get extra credit points. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask the professor she wants all her students to pass and is willing to help!
If i could take her again I would! She helps a lot! Go tutoring and do your hw you'll be fine! Oh I scored 98% overall :)
the best professor at Miami-Dade for math. she gives extra credit and she even takes time before OR after classes sometimes to help you. I took a 6 week class with her and although she went fast, the class really wasn't difficult. Study in your free time. Would recommend to everyone.
I highly recommend every college student to take any course they can with this professor. She will provide a positive college experience. Not only is she great at teaching, but she's passionate about helping her students. She truly has her best intentions at heart. If you put in effort and study in your spare time you will pass her class.
Highly recommend her, she's very kind and is motivated to teach and help her students learn. She stays extra time and is available in the math lab if you ever need extra. I would take her again if I could, I had no problem passing the class.
MrsCespedes makes sure you understand the concept, she goes around class to make sure everyone understood and is properly doing the work. She sends a worksheet for every chapter as practice and also a study guide for every test. If you do good in all your test the final is optional. Take her, she's great!! Easy class, very caring professor.
I did enjoy this professor. She was very funny and made sure her students understood the material. she DOES talk VERYYYYY fast! So you have to learn to keep up with her, and has an accent. But she is a very caring professor and easy enough if you really study.
great professor, she just has an accent and likes to speak fast. Also she goes very fast through her material but will stop if you have a question. Would not be my first choice but if I had to take her again I would. Her test are worth a big percentage but she gives reviews for the test.
Professor Cespedes is really good. She explains everything very detailed and if you don't understand she can help you. Gives extra credit. She covers a lot in her lectures so try not to miss. She gives reviews for the test that are very helpful. I would take a class with her again!
Professor Cespedes is a very good teacher. She cares a lot about every student and if they pass the class. Professor Cespedes makes sure you understand everything, and will always help you with any doubts you have about the class. Always gives extra credit and is very funny!!! I recommend her!!!
Professor Cespedes is a great teacher. I recommend you take her. If you have any questions, she will stop her lecture to explain it better. She gives reviews before each test that are very helpful and cares about your grade.
She's very fast pace but very good at explaining. Her test are ridiculously easy especially with the review she gives out. If you show up and don't slack on your homework you'll do just fine.
Funny and great, explains lessons a little quick, but if you need help she will stop and explain for you. Do the study guides and you will get the easiest A on your tests!!!!
took her for MAC1033, and MAC1105 easy class if u do the review and homework. If u need any help she'll take the time to explain. Easy grade.
She is a good professor. She cares a lot about her students . Besides , she is really funny. I would definitely recommend her. You won't regret it.
Professor Cespedes is one of my favorite math instructors. She knows her stuff, will walk around class to help with any questions and she even dedicates time to sit with you in the math lab! The workload can be challenging if you are not up to speed, but all you have to do is ask for help. Overall, I would highly recommend taking her courses.
She moves very quickly. She teaches all the steps, then shows short cuts. Show up to class. Do your homework. You will pass. Her tests are just like her reviews. Great professor!
Just make sure you complete the study guide she provides !! All the questions from the guide will be on the exam just different numbers!! Her first exam is super easy and the easiest of them all, make sure to get a high grade on this one! She goes fast and can't be understood, but just study the guide and you will pass! I hate math and got a B!!!
She is a good professor always helping her students and if you do your homework and study for the test you will pass her class with a good grade as I did.
She's incredible! Super funny, WANTS to see you pass, second time taking math, passed with a B, she teaches you everything step by step! Def recommend. Def would take her again if had the chance. Extra credit, sign in sheet, 4 exams, final optional, replaces lower grade.
Has a thick accent and talks and teaches extremely fast it's hard to keep up. gives a lot of online homework which isn't very helpful. Gives the study guide for the test and then I would just go to the math lab and do all my learning there. she would yell and tell us to hurry up and drink coffee cause we were slow if we took too long doing the work
This professor is truly a great instructor she wants all her students to pass. Don't be afraid to go to her concerning any work or questions she's always whiling to help. I recommend to anyone who struggles in math she makes math easier to understand.
Great professor I struggle with math but with this professor it made it easy for me explains well and is very helpful wants all her students to pass. Don't hesitate on asking questions she's always there to help.
She's the best math professor! Knows exactly what she's teaching and tries to make it as easy as possible. Gives extra credit and reviews are similar to the exams. Would definitely take her again. She's a bit face paced but is clear on what she expects. Accessible before and after class. She's caring with her students and wants them to pass.
One of the best teachers!! Truly wants her students to pass and is very caring and very helpful! Will meet you before every class in lab and takes time to help you out ! Always there if you have a question. Keeps you updated on your progress! Take her you won't regret it!
If you need to pass. YOU WILL NOT WITH THIS PROFESSOR. She has a heavy accent and is dismissive. Not something that is easy when you're not great at math already. If you ask questions she will make you feel like a loser in front of class.
I have taken this professor for almost all of my math courses, she is a helpful teacher wants all of her students to pass she offers extra credit by going to the lab and doing work with her or other tutors. She is a bit fast paste but is willing to help you understand the material if you get stuck. Truly recommend her .
Prof. Cespedes is an amazing teacher! I would take her again in a heartbeat! I took MGF1107 with her and Im currently taking MGF1106 with her! She is the best teacher hands down! She explains the lessons thoroughly; she cares about all her students. Gives you an amazing review before the tests! All she wants is for all her students to pass!
hilarious professor, lots of homework but easy, final is optional and gives opportunity for extra credit
She goes way to fast in lectures and sometimes it's hard to keep up especially that she has an accent. Lots of homework online, test are ok, but i wouldn't recommend her.
She is super funny and good teacher!!! She knows a lot about mathematics, and if you show interest to the class and to her she will help you a lot!! She treat you with respect, and teach you the faster way!!!!! I just love her!!!! Recommend 100%
Hilarious, quick, and predictable. Cespedes gets right down to it, every minute in class is used. Her class is easy (after all she teaches EASY math) if you want it to be. There are no surprises: she sends useful reviews for all her tests and gives extra credit too. Just be on the lookout for any emails and remember to do your online homework.
Professor Céspedes is really good I did all the homeworks and the extra credit and I passed with a good grade. The tests are pretty similar to the review and she will answer your questions if you show interest.
Cespedes is a really good teacher , she is always in the lab ready to help and she is always worried about her students. Everytime I go to the lab she is there to help with homeworks and anything that you need. Math with her is super easy I will take my next math class with her because she is the best teacher ever!!!
Horrible teacher gives way too much work and thinks her class is the only one on your schedule.
i can't complain, i passed with an "A" but to be honest, i wouldn't take her again. she would do some problems on the board and get them wrong, and then she's rude if you try to correct her. she's not a caring professor, she's not the worst but she needs someone to help her out because she doesn't know what she's doing at times.
excellent profesor
My favorite math professor by far. She knows what she's teaching and tries to make it as easy as possible for you. She cares for her students and wants to see them pass. She is clear on what she expects and makes you work for your grade. Gives extra credit and reviews to prepare you for her exams. Would definitely take her again!
Professor Céspedes is the best math teacher I've ever had at Miami-Dade College. This is my third time taking MAC1105 and I couldn't be any happier. She's a sweetheart and cares for her students. She gives four test through the entire semester but gives you a study guide for each exam. Also, gives students extra time to finish homework assignments.
I took this class in spring 2017 this professor was amazing in each exam you have ten points of extra credit just for showing up to the math laboratory. Just online homework and Exams Test review guide. No book, No quizzes. She explained very well, she gives you the online homework to help you to pass the exam.
Yamilet is the best professor at Mdc. I was bad in math but she was always there helping me and her lectures are clear and if you dont understand she explains the topic again as many times as you need. You can talk to her outside the class and she is always in lab and she is always available in office hours. Take her class no regrets
Best Math Professor At Mdc. She Is The Best Take Her For All The Math Courses , She Cares About Her Students And She Is Sweet!!
She's great, the best math professor you will have. I'm super bad at math and passed her class with an A, she was easy to find outside class and takes time to explain things until you understand. I will keep on getting my math courses with her.
Great professor
Yamilet is a awesome math teacher. I took her two semesters in a row and I can say she made math so easy and enjoyable to learn. She really cares for her students and wants everyone to pass. The only one who is in your way of not passing is yourself. TAKE HER I highly recommend Yamilet
Trust me, it's pretty simple: if you are not good in math, you won't PASS or you gonna get a CCCCCCC.
She's a good professor, she can be funny at times but also feisty. Aside from this class being so extremely easy, basically things we all learned in elementary school. She talks very fast and goes through things fast because like i said, things we should all know, but if someone doesn't happen to catch on she will go through everything again.
Amazing professor, gives you extra credit for going to lab, extra points on test for doing review!! no way you can fail + homework is online and short! Very helpful and cares about your grade!!
Cespedes is amazing, I'm not good at math, but she made it quite enjoyable and took the time to explain. She's very caring and encourages you to learn. I would totally recommend her
Amazing professor who you can talk to outside class if you have any doubts, I had her for Mac 1105 and Mac 1147 and I get good grades in both. All that you have to do is study for the test and do the homework that count as a test grade.
Ive taken all my math classes(MAC 1105,MAC 1147) since I first started college with Professor Cespedes, and I wouldnt have it another way. Lectures are great and she makes sure you leave the classroom understanding all the reviewed material. She is always available during her office hours to clarify any doubts . Will definitely take her again.
I took MAC 1147 with her and she is an amazing Professor. She is very fun and make the class a incredible experience. I know this is math, but with a teacher like her, even learning math you can enjoy the class . She inspires you and give you a lot of tools in order to get a good grade. I highly recommend you take her.
This is my first time rating a professor but honestly there is no professor in miami dade like this one professor Cespedes loves math and will teach you with passion, the class is not hard, she would explains as many time as you want her objective is for you to learn and pass the class. I would definitely take her again in the future for cal1.
Professor Cespedes really wants her students to pass, but you have to put in the work. She gives extra credit for your effort of going to the math lab which in turn helps you pass the class. I put in the hours. So make time for it. I just wanted to pass and she encouraged me to take the final exam which turned my grade to a high B. The best!
Shes an excellent teacher, at times it may be or look hard which is a bit. But if you show her interest in her class: like asking questions, going to labs, attendance very important, early not late and doing the hw. Shes very considerate, she will help you, even if you get a bad grade but you must show interest by improving any bad grade.
The lectures are awful. There is a test every other week so you cant even catch your breath before there is another test. She will have you do examples in class and not even write the answer on the board even less work it out so there is no point. Then she explains something in 30 secs terribly because there's "no time". Extra credit not worth it.
I never seen professor like her. Lazy. No responsibility. Strong accent. Teach fast. When you ask her some question she doesnt want to answer and get mad if you keep asking. High recommend do not take her
Professor Cespedes is a good professor, you'll pass the class if you put the effort. The homework takes time so don't leave it for last minute. You have 7 tests, a midterm and a final. The midterm and the final replace your lowest grade.
She is the best professor that you could want for a MAC class. The professor Cespedes is very concerned about her students. I hope all teachers were like her. I LOVE HER. Do not hesitate to take it because she does care about you.
Professor Cespedes makes the class as simple a possible. She gives plenty of time to do the homework but it is better not to leave it for last minute. The homework is always a good study guide for the test. She is always available to respond questions and she answers emails super quickly. Overall would take her class again.
She is a great professor and somehow makes a class like MAC1147 seems easy and doable. She gives test reviews for all her test and allows you to get up to 10 points of extra credit for the each test by going to the math lab. Even though the lectures are 2 hours, she is able to bring the content down to earth so you can understand it well.
worse prof Ive ever had I don't understand how she has such good reviews. Most useless lectures super rushed and heavy accent. Whatever you're imagining, its worse. Her emails and notes sent are erratic and messy and the tests are not like the study guides at all. Teaches like shes not getting paid.
She is a great professor ,if i could take her again i would !.She really cared about the students and if you had any doubts you can ask her .The subject itself is hard but if you study and follow her lead youll be fine If you do all the homework and understand the topics it's an easy A. Her lectures are straightforward and she values participation
Professor Cespedes is one of the best professor at MDC. She is always ready to help her students ,always has office hours before class and will all the COVID-19 going around she is always connected to help her students in order to be ready for class. Business calculus is not my favorite but she makes it easy for the students to understand.
she did a great job in the class
I took mac 1147 the class was great, I was able to pass without any problem, the professor inspired me to keep learning
Love professor cespedes she is the best teacher at MDC.
She was great. Professor Cespedes goes through the material pretty fast but she explains everything that needs to be explained. If you have any questions, she will make sure to answer it until you understand. She may sound rude, but she is not. It's just the way she talks. She's a great math professor. I suck at math but I excelled in her class.
Professor Cespedes is amazing. She knows the material well and she she teaches it well. If you are a bit lost on the topic, she will go back and make sure you understand it. You won't regret taking her! :)
I took her for MAC1114 and MAC1105, she is good at what she does. This class was hard for me because this was a 6 week class and I was working full time but she cares for her students and if you explain your situation, she will try to help you out. I also love that her lectures are thorough but quick. She's definitely worth it.
Prof Cespedes is a really nice lady and she is very helpful if you want her to go back and explain something but she has a heavy accent so it makes her difficult to understand sometimes . We had 4 tests online and there was barely homework, it takes less than an hour to complete. She drops your lowest grade and has an optional final you can take.
She seems nice but I wouldnt be in her class you really cant understand what she saying and she rush through the work and its messy
I had Professor Cespedes for the fall term of 2021 and in short, she is great! Incredibly patient and very understanding, which is important to me because I have a full time job which takes a lot of my free time. Professor Cespedes is clear when it comes to directions and makes learning easier. I wish more Professors could be like her.
Professor Cespedes is a phenomenal instructor, and I am very happy to have taken her course. She has taught me a great deal about trigonometry, and made me a better student as well. I highly recommend her as a professor.
Shes a nice teacher, however shes terrible with reaching out. For example, one day at the last possible second, she decided the class should be online when everyone (me included) already arrived at her classroom, with an excuse saying she sent an email last night. For the record, she didnt (I never got it, at least). Pick someone else.
Professor Cespedes is very unprofessional, and disrespectful of her students and their time. I do not recommend you take her unless you want to be confused, go to a tutor, and/or eventually fail the class. Run while you can!
She is a very good professor, always willing to help, she is very clear with explanations, and the tests are not so hard if you study. Textbook is not required, homework is done on MyMathLab and so the tests.
Her class isn't difficult but she could make it easier. Not very good at responding to emails. Beware of the dates she puts on homework and tests, it may be the wrong ones. Again, her class isn't difficult to pass as long as you know what you're doing.
She's understanding if you need extensions and she'll help if you have questions. She might seem a bit impatient in class but she's nice. However, I thought her lectures were rushed and superficial, and she usually asks students to go on the board instead of solving examples herself and explaining the steps.
This is the worst teacher ever she does not care about her students. She does not teach, she has officially failed my entire class her tests are difficult shes a pain to listen to. Ive never had such a bad teacher. PICK ANY OTHER PROFESSOR PLEASE!!!! btw ur grade will not be determined until the last day of class. PICK ANOTHER TEACHER!!!
The class is mostly work on aleks like homework. exams and final are also on aleks and are proctur. You have to have some sort of clear understanding for math if you dont she is not the professor for you even if you take the mathlab for help. other then that it wasnt difficult AND can be done on your time
I've taken professor Cespedes from MAC1105 to MAC1140. She really makes the material so easy to digest and is so funny during her lectures. Definitely recommend her!
Throughout this semester every lecture the professor has is obscure and can barely be understood. When you do in-class work she uses mathway or picks a student to write on the board she never solved a problem herself. She is extremely disrespectful when you ask questions or need help. Tutoring is a must if you want to pass this class.
This professor is the worst math professor I have seen at Miami Dade College. She gets mad whenever you have question and always gives disrespectful remark. If you have a problem with the program she will constantly gets irritated when you email asking for help. Lastly, she canceled class twice this semester only hours before the class started.
Professor Cespedes was an awful professor who is constantly on her phone whenever she gets the opportunity and rarely helps her students. Throughout the semester she constantly said if you do the homework you'll pass the test, but when you take the test more than half the questions are never on the homework.
Horrible!!! Never answers her emails, and when you ask her a question in person, she gets annoyed and angry. She is disrespectful to her students, and does not teach correctly.
If you're good at math you can just ignore the entire class and do the work, if not get a tutor
I took her Summer 2021, easy course if you have a good algebra base. Attendance was graded & she did a lot of breakout rooms, lectures were unhelpful because she didn't have a stylus so the math was all over the place. All work was through Pearson & she had clear deadlines. I completed most of the course the day before the term ended & got w an A.
Took her Summer of 2021. She was online & liked to do a lot of breakout rooms which made the lectures go by faster, she uses Pearson for both tests & hw (un-proctored). All the hws due at the end of the semester will be an easy class if you are good at algebra. Overall I got an A bc of my background in algebra not necessarily bc of her lectures.
Ms. Cespedes gives many opportunities to help your grade by providing reviews for tests and extra credit opportunity by going to a math lab for tutoring. She has detailed worksheets that follow along examples that she does during her lectures. Overall, it was an enjoyable class with easy homework and the final is optional dependent on grade.
Professor Cespedes is one of the best math teacher I've ever had. She explains everything thoroughly, and will help you if u have any problems. She's very understanding and caring. Will definitely take this class again.
