She's a very lovely person, but kind of full of herself. Goes way too fast in lecture. If you did have questions, by the time you've finished writing down the notes on the board(which all come from the txt book anyway)she's already moved on to the next topic, really no time to ask q's. Test are ridiculously hard too. Not reccomended for Trig.

signed up for her May Mester class. The course is hard but you WILL pass if you just do your homework and make at least a C on the test. She drops the lowest exam and replaces it for the final exam if you did better. The hawkes is HARD but its not impossible you just have to have a lot of time. If your a bad test taker dont take this onli class .

If you take Maymester BEWARE. You teach yourself & it's 5 hours of work PER DAY: 4 chapters, complete homework & a quiz over each chapter DAILY (weekends too), tests every 3 days w/Lockdown Browser. I've taken Calc 2 at the college level & it was still hard. Do NOT take this course Maymester if you work or struggle w math. Prof was great though!

Let me tell you something about this class, if you are good at math then this should be a breeze, but if you struggle then you should avoid this like the plague. It is a self taught class, there were no pre recorded lectures and don't get me started on Hawkes, it's useless. Horrible experience, save yourself your time, and your mental well being.

She is very entitled, arrogant and rude. She is not helpful when explaining questions. She deducts points from your written work over the smallest detail without explanation. I would highly recommend to NOT to take her. It is important to find a good math teacher and she definitely is not a good one. She is way too comfortable with her job.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF IT'S ONLINE. Incredibly and ridiculously difficult homework. Hawkes doesn't explain half the stuff that'll be on the Homework. Each homework will probably take you upwards of 3 or so hours to finish. Lesson would explain one or two things, the homework will include things you haven't been taught yet. Frustrating.

I do admit, Manzano is a good teacher, but her materials are near to impossible. I was lucky to have passed considering the difficulty.

I took professor Manzano for trig as a flex term in person when I was a college freshman and there was a lot of work but that's how it is for a flex term. She is very smart, teaches well, and is patient when students have questions. The only reason I got a B is because I got lazy and did not try on the final exam. Ended the class with an 88.
