Don't skip class, theres no point. Her classes are simple. She's clear when teaching, will give help and examples if you ask for it. Down to earth, but will not take anyone's crap if you decide to be disrespectful. She gives 4 tests through out the course. Participation will be 5% of the class and the class over all is easy if you do your work.
Math is difficult for me as it is and taking this class online made it a lot more difficult, but Professor Smith sent us constant reminders about assignments, and was always willing to help. I wish I would have taken her in class because she seems like a great teacher. Would NOT recommend taking this online,but definitely in class!
I highly recommend her as a teacher. Nothing is ever going to come easy, however she takes the time out to help you with your math. If you need help on something she has office hours and always makes time when needed. If you take her class there is no reason you should not pass.
Prof. Smith is adamant but caring. Show up and do the work, she has NO TOLERANCE for anything less. Great Prof.
online terrible 1.0- in class better 3.0
I highly recommend her. I took 2 classes with her as my professor and she hasn't let me down! She is accessible and answers any questions. I wish I could take her for statistics!
Professor Smith always takes the time to explain things multiple ways in class. You can tell she likes her job because she's so happy when she's teaching. She loves questions and really cares for her students. I'm definitely taking her for 118.
Easy ��
Professor Smith is great, she cares about her students and is always available to help. Just work hard and you'll pass her class.
She is a nice teacher but she is kinda sarcastic. I would not take her again.
I liked the class
Professor Smith is amazing, you can tell she really loves what she do. She takes the time to explain what you dont understand. She always has office hours available for additional help. Love her class taking her in the summer for 118!
Great professor! She communicated with her students always in a timely manner. She was very helpful in and outside of class. She made sure all of the students understood the material given.
Honestly, she is a wonderful teacher. Attendance is very important and once you complete all your quizzes and homework, you are bound to pass her class
She rocks, She really helps breakdown everything for her students!! Highly recommend her! Just dont use your cellphone in class and you'll do great!!
One of the best professors I've had. Her class can be a little boring but you wound up learning something anyways.
She is really a gem and it's an easy class. Enjoyed a lot in her class.
Taking 118 with Professor Smith was the best . I was well prepared for the midterm and final and learned so much . A real boost to my math confidence
She is the best Professor . The way that she is explain is just unique. I dropped this class before taking it with her; and now with her I passed it with A+. I love her.
Really made FNMT 118 easy for me. Clear on assignments. Passed with a B+ :)
Professor smith truly is an amazing and fair teacher. She made math easy to understand, using real world scenarios. You can tell that she truly loves what she does.
She is the first teacher I have encountered that used no text book but rather embraces technology to the fullest by using amazing computer based learning system that progresses on your skill level. BEWARE it cost money to have access to it and if you lag behind you will fail. Also make sure you have the money to buy access to this ALEKS system.
She talks a lot throughout the class , shes not really a peoples person even though shes a teacher. She also makes it seem like your not smart enough if you ask certain questions. If you want a teacher thats blunt with an attitude shes the one for you , if you cant handle that you should keep looking
She makes her class so that you dont get an A, and if you do, you worked HARD for it. You only have 1 midterm and 1 final which are overall 60% of your grade, the rest of your grade is homework. She has a bad attitude, especially when she speaks to you. She isnt the best professor out there, if you can, take someone else.
I never liked Maths because just couldnt understand it but, prof smith helped me a lot with my math and I grew to like and enjoy the class. She is a really good prof and explains the topics in the simplest way where everyone can learn. Once your homework is done and you come to class you are guaranteed to pass her class. She is the best.
I took her last summer, and she is great. She will literally sit next to students to help them no matter how long it would take. Her attitude towards students succeeding is great. If you dont put in the work, you simply may not pass. I received an 100% as my final grade. This is my last semester, but I would recommend her to others student.
Professor smith has a bad attitude problem. Actually, her The math work wasnt all that bad and I believe she is an ok teacher. But attitude wise? Horrible. Will get smart with you and sometimes will be impatient with you if youre really bad at math. For those reasons, would definitely not take her again. Take someone else.
I really dont like her personality but as a professor shes really good at explaining formulas. Shes very strict with attendance. She has a very smart mouth & she seems like she always mad. She doesnt give extra credit at all. Shes the professor who wants you to check the syllabus before asking anything. I really dont like her at all.
Professor Smith is a great teacher. She is super professional and will have you prepared for everything thats coming your way. She is a very patient teacher and makes sure that she is teaching at a speed perfect for everyone. You will never have to worry about what/when you will have to do something because she makes sure you are ready.
Great
Professor Smith is highly cerebral and intelligent. She delivers her lecture in the best way and she carries the student along. Students are free to ask questions at any point in time. She gives a packet for free at the beginning of her class. She teaches calmly and you can tell that enjoys it. She is also always available for her office hours.
I hate math and never was good at it but Professor Smith really explains all the work and has live lessons so you understand and can answer questions. I wish I could take her for 118.
Professor Smith was the best professor I've had to date. This class was an online class and live lectures were NOT something a professor has to provide. However, Professor Smith offered live optional zoom lectures each morning. She taught in away that I believe is the reason I was able to pass this course! Amazing teacher!
Professor Smith is a great teacher of a very tough subject. Theres no way around doing the work if you are going to understand algebra. It was a toughest course Ive ever taken S
Will not take her again. She makes you watch literally on average 17-20 videos a week and they have to be watched in order to get attendance. Then after you watch a set of videos you have to go and do homework online which can take you an hour at times. Not to mention mandatory discussions and quizzes. Requires to much for it to be an online class.
Organized and fair. She responds to emails quickly. Make sure you buy ALEKS.
I refuse to take my next math course with any other math professor except Yusefa Smith! She did a live zoom 4 days a week this past summer (6 wk course). I was already petrified of math and yet taking it online made my fear even worse! She was amazing had she has the tools to effectively teach math online and live! She really is a one of a kind!
Thankful that I had her as my teacher. Her assignment and lectures are easy to understand. Recommend to not miss lectures they are extremely helpful. Put in the work dont be lazy complete all your assignments. Professor Smith is helpful and available to assist when in doubt. Scheduled MTH18 with her definitely wont disappoint, take her again.
Prof Smith is a great professor I was not good in math and the videos she provided for homework helped me tremendously. There are a good amount of videos, but you never feel like she just gives them to you just because... As long as you do the homework you will pass the quiz/tests. I would most definitely take another course taught by prof Smith.
Im not the best math student. im not a fan of the subject at all. I took this class multiple times. I finally passed! Professor smith gives a lot of useful info and tools to help with learning and retaining the material. there is a lot of work, but without It I prob would not have passed. I will Be taking math118 with her in the spring
My experience with Professor Smith was very rewarding, I took this class before but didn't pass so this was my second time around. She made herself available to answer any questions we had. She gives lectures 2x per week and offers multiple videos to help you understand the subject this was very helpful. I choose her for my next semester's class.
Professor Yusefa Smith is a great teacher! You can really tell that she puts a lot of time into her lessons and assignments. As long as you are attending/following along with lectures and completing the homework assignments, you will do well. Math is a tough subject for me and I have made some serious progress in this class.
Horrible, do not recommend...
Professor Smith took the time in our first online class to teach and layout how to be a successful student with online learning. Provided helpful tips on online study groups and how to navigate CCP's web site. Her teaching style is straight forward and truly took the time to understand students questions and answer them fully.
The online course was very organized and structured. Videos served great purpose, and making sure you watch the videos from beginning to end is crucial. Taking your time to solve problems and clicking the correct answer. This class teaches you to be independent and responsible. You cant be lazy. You need to do the work, and follow directions.
Professor Smith was so helpful. The modules were so easy, and the videos were easier to understand. The homework were so practical, it gives a good explaining about the homework.
Professor Smith is a great Professor. She will always lend a helping hand in class and outside the classroom.
A VERY GOOD CLASS OVERALL!
Professor Smith really cares about her students. I am terrible at math but the lectures as well as ALEKS really helped strengthen my algebra skills. But you MUST do the homework and watch the lectures or you WILL NOT PASS
I definitely would not take another course of hers. You can tell she likes control because instead of allowing you to work how you like, for example watching the videos and doing the ALEKS homework, she controls the order of every single thing you do. Not very helpful, her feedback is always written like she has an attitude and does not give advice
I took professor Yusefa in summer 21. She does give a lot of work, mainly videos to watch before doing your homework. UTILIZE homework extensions!!! It helped me a lot and gave me more time to work through things I did not understand. She's great and I will be taking her again.
I think Professor Smith is a wonderful teacher. I have honestly never done well in math and struggled, I feel like I was always lost and overwhelmed, I never felt this way with her lectures. Her teaching style made me feel very comfortable and eased my math anxiety.
Professor Smith is the first math instructor I've EVER had who taught in such a way I was able to retain information. I used to panic when it came to test and such but the way P. Smith runs her course I've learned so much and actualy retained what I learned! I am taking her for my next math that's how confident I am in her teaching skills.
Professor Smith is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is extremely organized which made the class less stressful. I always knew exactly what I had to do, and when to do it. She was very clear and specific in what was expected from her students. She is clear and gives thorough feedback to questions and is very responsive to emails.
This professor was a force to be recoken with. We started off wrong. The disrespect in the emails and how she speaks to people
Professor Smith is by far the BEST instructor I've had in ANY math class. She is clear about expectations, grading, and everything else. From day one, you know what is expected of you. She does her part and as long as you do too, you will be in good shape. She does not over complicate things which is invaluable! I am taking her 118 next semester.
I chose Prof Smith based on other raters. I found their assessments to be accurate. Prof Smith gives very detailed/easy to follow lecture videos to help tackle the ALEKS homework. You must manage time well and go above/beyond your usual effort to pass this class. She's thorough in her lesson plan & will get your best if you apply yourself.
She is very clear what she expects from you. She does a great job of explaining the work step by step. All Of what you learn will be on the tests no surprises. DO YOUR HOMEWORK, the practice helps. I would for sure take her again.
Professor Yuseffa is a real gem. I was nervous about taking a math class- its been a while since high school- but she made it easy to understand. There is a lot of mandatory lectures and homework, but it forces you to learn the material. You wont be stressing out about exams since you would have mastered the material. Loved her!
My class was online so her lectures and Aleks helped a great deal
Shes clear on what is expected. She gives the ability to do your work in advance and as long as you pay attention to the corresponding videos for the week, it is really easy to pass.
The recorded lectures going over each week's topics are thoughtful and really explain the concepts in a complementary way to the way that Aleks teaches. Between the technology of Aleks and the recorded lectures and homework grasping the concepts was easy. I've never gotten above a C grade in math until before Professor Smith's class.
Loved the class! Taking 018 next semester with Prof Smith!
This is my second experience taking classes with professor Smith and she is really awesome, shes very organized what is very helpful in this class. The way she explain us is very nice, shell dont continue until all her students understand. A great teacher in all areas.
I highly enjoyed Professor Smiths courses! Each course was thorough, well thought out, well organized, detailed, easy to follow along, appropriately challenging and engaging!
Shes an amazing professor who care about her students, and she always willing to help. She was always proficient with everything she taught. The way she teach made me really feel good about myself with math. I recommend everyone to take Professor Smith class.
A well prepared, thorough professor who clearly defines course expectations. You will get your money's worth and then some out of a course taught by professor Smith.
As long as you follow the lectures with the booklet P. Smith provides, and complete the Aleks assignments, you will finish (and pass) this course with a clear understanding and retained knowledge of Algebra. Take notes! Check class discussion boards for questions and answers! Read the Syllabus! Forever grateful of P. Smith and all she's taught me.
I had Professor Smith for 2 straight semesters, 017 and 118. I was able to conquer both classes with an A. Her instructions, expectations and rules are clear from day 1. If you do the work, you will be pass. She offers resources such as a course packet to use to follow along with provided video lessons. This was invaluable. She is fantastic!
Professor Smith is a caring Teacher that will help you throughout the course. She is always upbeat and professional while being a strong teacher. I was never good at math, but now I am more confident because of her support.
This is my 2nd time having Prof. Smith as my math professor. When I did struggle with a particular math topic I had a zoom meeting with her and that one meeting gave me a better understanding of the topic. She was also patient with me during that meeting. I didn't feel ashamed asking her for help. She's a very reasonable Professor.
Prof Smith is the best math teacher I have EVER had. She posts math videos that ask questions along the way to test your knowledge, we use a platform called Aleks that will not let you proceed to the next question until the topic is mastered, and what is expected of the students as well as the grading criteria is straight forward.
Professor Smith is a wonderful professor! I highly recommend taking her class. Her lectures are online and are super easy to follow and understand. She uses ALEKs for the homework and tests, which I personally liked a lot. I found myself actually liking math after taking her class.
Prof. Smith was an amazing educator. Provide multiple ways to learn the content. I am a visual learner and the videos supplied helped. She was also always accessible for questions. As a person who hates math, she made me begin to enjoy it. I am very grateful for her and for getting through this class.
Amazing! Throughly explains everything in an easy to follow way
I am not great at math yet I found this class to be helpful and resourceful.
Professor smith was very understanding yet strict on her work and the need to get it done and learn it. She was more than accommodating to me through the semester when I went to have surgery. She has given me tools that I can take with me for future math courses.
okay so ima be honest if you don't put in the work for whatever reason you will definitely struggle.HOWEVER, this doesn't take away from her excellency of professionalism whatsoever. She's passionate and humble, while we learn it looks as though she's learning also. She gives everyone an opportunity. if you're full time really consider.
I would take Professor Smith's class again in a heartbeat. She really takes her time to make sure you understand all the concepts and her explanations are always so easy to follow. She always makes time for you outside of class to go over subjects you're struggling with and never makes you feel bad for not knowing something.
I really enjoyed this class. This is a tough subject but she makes it manageable. I also think Professor Smith is really funny, she would make these little comments in her lecture videos that would make me crack up laughing. I seen reviews that say she's rude but I disagree. She gives a Professor McGonagall vibe, fair but no nonsense.
To the point, has a fair grading system, and overall empathetic.
I took Professor Smith for FNMT 118 which was asynchronous and online. Professor Smith has an easy to understand and very detailed syllabus so you know what to expect. She is quick to respond and her lecture videos are easy to understand. Before taking this class make sure you brush on on adding and subtracting integers. Overall, great class.
Professor Smith was great. Always make sure to be ahead with assignments since many are due each week. Doing the Aleks homework, quizzes and tests were fairly easy. I was never great at math but to my surprise I excelled in the class this semester and I believe that is because of the way we learned the material.
Professor Smith is very clear on the guidelines and expectations for the course, which means you as the student is very aware of the timeline of assignments, quizzes and modules to be completed each week. Great professor and a great organized asynchronous course.
I love her teaching style and also do care more about her student. I should recommend taking her class once time to see what's good she is.
Do your lectures and ALEKS and you will pass.
Really great professor. If you like math, I highly suggest you to take her class. Videos are very easy to understand and if you need help, she is available during office hours. Homeworks and knowledge checks are all done thru ALEKS, which I really liked and its based off what you know and what you don't know!
Professor Smith is very caring, positive and available 4 days a week to help students who need it! She wants you to pass and will help you as much as possible
Professor Smith is a professor who is very understanding but please do not take her kindness for weakness. She will work with you, only if you work with her. Her time is precious so please do not waste it. The video lectures can be occasionally time consuming but I promise it's worth paying attention to.
She made everything easy to understand and math very approachable. I would want her for my professor for any math course I took!
Professor Smith made learning math easier. As long as you keep up with your work in Aleks and practice a few problems, this class will be a breeze. I loved her way of teaching especially because I am a hands on learner. If I had any questions posted on this discussion board she answered right away. I highly recommend taking this class with her.
The class is very simple if you keep up with your work , the professor makes everything clear and understanding
Professor Smith is really great, she is very patient with students and does her best to make sure we are as informed as we need to be, I truly recommend her, she the best.
Prof. Smith was amazing. Everything was very clear and I was able to keep an A throughout her class. I enjoyed the videos because they really helped me understand the lessons better.
Professor Smith, gives alot of homework and make you watch alot of video's. You may think to youself like this is too much, when in all reality you will need it to understand. You will have to eliminate all distractions to focus and to be able to grasp the concepts of FNMT017. I liked her method of teaching .
Assignments due first day. Be willing to stay on your work.Lots of videos,questions embedded you have to answer. Won't let you change your midterm or final date, it is nerveracking to have final recorded, her watching you from side view. She loves math and wants you to understand. No opportunities for office hour and we could only email her.
already regret choosing her class. she gives an insane amount of hw and knowledge checks often. it's annoying ngl and very overdoing the topic. and that's not all, the final is in person at the end. I say RUN
Would take again, easy work
Professor Smith is an amazing teacher.I came into the class seriously doubting myself, and Professor Smith was constantly encouraging me to believe in myself and realize that I was capable of learning the material. Her technique for teaching was easy to follow, she is willing to help when you need help, and available after hours to assist as well.
I wish I could take all my required math classes with this professor. I will not lie, there is a heavy workload like a part-time job. However, if you do all the work, and watch the amazing arrangement of videos, you can not walk away from this class without learning a lot. Best online class ever. This class is for people who really want to learn.
Great professor, very organized and keeps things simple
Before I am not loved In Mathematics but after these classes, I love Math. First I spent as much I can, then I keep to do assignments on time. In all, I will recommend the students who takes Math 017, in the assignments spent time, and do on time. Thank you!
Professor Smith set up the class in a way that made it very easy and understandable. There's quite a bit of homework, but as long as you stay on top of it, you'll be fine. She's very approachable and is always available for any questions. She's one of the best math instructors I've ever had and I'd definitely recommend taking one of her classes.
unhelpful and the worst communicator
I'm not to fond of math but Professor Smith lockes it down.All you gotta do are the guided work videos and you'll pass with an A.I honestly slacked off a little bit but still got a A.The videos are gonna seem like they take forever but its all done within class time (2-3)hours of work.They have video embedded question you have to answer, but easy A
I loved her & would do it all over again
Great professor, always willing to listen & help.
I took a 017 online class with Professor Smith, 017 has a lot of work and her system with lessons, homework, and quizzes was very clear and flexible, giving you sufficient time to get work done. Very well organized and easy to follow. I would take another class with her. Can not imagine why anyone would give her a bad review. No complaints here.
Criteria was easy but taught me a lot at the same time. Very respectful and understanding.
Material is pretty straight forward and easy to understand.
She gave very helpful learning material. The class was straight forward. It was a lot of studying, but it was worth it. I would take a class with her again, she also answered any questions I had.
she gives clear instruction on how to do things and multiple sources for how to learn to do things if she doesn't already have her own lecture
In this class your going to watch lots and lots of videos. You may get tired of watching videos but the videos help you learn how to do the math . She may come off as a strict teacher but she is very very nice trust me.!!! The school offers tutoring and she tutors as well. She cares about her students!!!!!!
This class was designed in a way that made me feel like I was always in control of my grades There was a lot of work, but it was fair. Professor Smith met with me outside of class when I needed extra help, and always replied to emails. I would highly recommend her, especially if you have difficulty with math.
This professor shows that she cares by sending reminders on the chat
Professor Smith is an excellent educator who excels in delivering clear and comprehensible explanations. Her teaching style not only makes the subject matter easy to grasp but also enjoyable. I appreciate her ability to make learning a pleasant experience. She truly is a great professor.
I loved her math class. Everything was organized and layed out. she posted plenty of math videos and then extra one just in case you didn't get it in those. She posted lecture videos doing the math with you. She made sure we participated in group activities and made it fun.She answers your emails. I will definitely take her class again.
she was a great professor to have.
She has great communication! The videos really get you to understand along with ALEKS ! It may Seem like a lot at first but once you get the swing of things It becomes Easy.
She's an amazing teacher.
Professor Smith's class was really good. She was very easy to work with. Always willing to help. If you put in the effort and time you will do well. Professor Smith responds to emails quickly and always answers my questions when I need help understanding the material.
She always gives good explanations of every topics that you can watch on canvas
Overall I am pleased with Professor Smith as an instructor! She's tough but fair in my opinion. It's palpable how much she enjoys math and it was a joy to be in her class. I will be looking to take her Math 118 class in the fall 2024 semester. Thank you.
Professor Smith helped me decipher tough problems in order for me to understand better. Great Professor!
She is very good
Great Professor. There are tons of short videos you have to watch so it is a bit content heavy but hw/ exams were very straightforward and always due on the same day every week. Her curriculum is very organized and we always knew how much work to expect. Always responsive to emails if I had questions. Would def take a class with her again.
Professor Yusefa was very motivating and her teaching style was very easy to grasp. I enjoyed her class a lot.
I typically avoid leaving bad reviews for professors but I enrolled with Ms. Yusefa for summer semester, she is very unlikable. I dislike her canvas set-up, I dislike how she talks to us in weekly meetings, and I dislike her overall. Prof Yusefa makes the work super complicated and simply gives us too much work. She compared the work to a full job
I took algebra with Professor Smith during summer 2023. She did no teaching, she had us sit in the classroom and watch Edpuzzle videos of her doing the math & would be reluctant to answer questions. Even worse that she's the department head so there's nobody to go to with concerns. Not a single person passed that class if I'm remembering correctly.
I took the 7 week version of this course. The 7 week course load was a little challenging, but still doable. Professor Smith is easy to reach via Canvas inbox and responds in a timely fashion. Professor Smith also held weekly zoom meetings to address any questions/concerns. Grades fairly and expectations are clear. 10/10
she is amaizing I love prof simth sha caring of us and she explain I will thake her class again uf she teach 118 I advise you to register with her and the way she presents the material is very beautiful
The professor helped me with math problems on a zoom call with other students. This allowed me to stay at work.
I love Professor smith. I would love to take another class with her! The class was pretty much at my pace
I took Math Fundamentals with this professor and loved it. Was very scared at the beginning, as math used to horrify me, but the only thing I regret now is not doing it earlier, as she makes everything possible. Highly recommend! Just do your homework, complete all the assignments and you will be fine.
Yusefa Smith is an awesome professor She is awesome teacher she likes for everyone to turn in work on time
Professor Smith is a great teacher and is very knowledgeable. She is grate at how she delivers the information that she teaches. One thing I can say is that class participation is something she likes for her students to do and also she is very fair at how she grades.
This was my first semester at ccp As i was not at all good in mathematics but the they she explains ,clear your doubts and all the video lectures she provides is just amazing. I learned all the basic maths like i am reading a story book And she was so amazing that i am taking her for my another class as well (FNMT 118) Highly recommended
Patient and compassionate professor who's going to work with you and ensure you make it through the course. 10/10
She is a good professor; she does her job perfectly and she is very respectful and helpful.
She's very detail and it's so much fun
She was genuinely a horrible professor. This woman disliked her students and her job heavily. I do not recommend the other FNMT professors are so much better. Do yourself a favor and do not take her class.
I had a great experience attending Professor Smith lecture. She was very helpful in assisting myself and classmates. I would take another class taught by professor Smith!
My favorite Professor so far
Professor Smith makes math that used to terrify me totally doable. Just stay on top of the work and you'll do great. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for prep too!
Professor Smith's class was a good class. She kept things simple for easy understanding but also allowed you to work ahead if you were breezing through. She's very approachable and takes the time to make sure you understand everything.
- She's very nice and I like how she teaches us and show us respect also explain everything clearly I understand her explanation clearly also she was very helpful.
- She's good at teaching and she shows respect also her teaching is easy to understand and I like the way she teach and she's helpful she help with math problem and explain it clearly.
Professor Smith appeared unwilling to offer extra help or consider alternative learning approaches, which made it difficult to succeed in the course. Given my experience, I cannot recommend her as an instructor.
Work is always graded on time and always gives opportunities for you to catch up if you're behind.
She is very tuff, but she means well if you're willing and ready to learn. I took 019 and FMNT 118 with her. She has no tolerance for nonsense. Overall she was very patient and helpful.
Very helpful
Professor Yusefa tells you exactly how it is beginning of semester. And it is up to you how your semester and grade ends. Although it's not a lot of personal time in class she does provide an ample amount of videos and examples, a decent workbook to practice and some in class games. Get your assignments in on time & do your best you'll be fine
This was my second time taking algebra FNMT 118 but super grateful with taking professor smith, Even though math will probably still be my weakest subject passing with a C. She gives you clear introduction with how she grades, Participation, needs CLEAR explanations for any excused of absence or emergency and she very patient individual person.
Professor Smith is an excellent teacher. She really takes the time to structure her course in a way that makes sure information is retained. She is really good at what she does and is able to clearly explain and simplify the math concepts to make it very easy to understand. I wish she was teaching my next course.
Group/Partner Work: Kahoots or lesson activities Lessons: Watch videos as a class, answer questions, review Key to success: Show up, Ask questions for clarity, Practice (HW) I highly recommend taking a course she teaches because she is THOROUGH. Be respectful of her classroom rules & take responsibility for the work that is required of you.
Loved Professor Smith. Felt very comfortable in her class. and she was very caring and helpful.
Always ask questions
Professor Smith was excellent! Even though it's a lot of assignments to complete, it's worth doing them towards the end. They're very helpful & she gives you multiple ways to solve the problems. Her syllabus was very informative and helpful! I'm looking forward to taking my Math 118 class with her.
NEVER miss a class, if you do you will fall behind. The lecture will lead into the 20+ question hw for that week. increase in difficulty every week. if she misses a day you will fall behind, so ask as many questions you can to understand. Great person, iffy teacher. The final will determine if she will report you due to no calculator being allowed
Prof Smith is one of my all time favorite professors, she is awesome and makes sure to explain everything clearly. If someone asks a question about something she already went over she doesn't mind going over it again. She is truly one of the best math profs out there, if you are struggling with math please take her, she will do everything she can.
she does not grade attendance she posts hour long videos EVERYDAY. she has a smart mouth and is very disrespectful, does not like when you ask questions because it holds up lectures. She is constantly reminding her students that she is the head of the math department but is so unprofessional. she kicked me out of a class, "you can go home".
She replied to our questions any time, she explained the courses with great methods that make you understand and get good grades, I recommend taking classes with her.
Prof Smith creates clear videos explaining material. Everything I needed to know was present in bite-sized chunks, including mnemonics for increasing understanding and cute, additional videos to help concepts stick. Her expectations are clear. Be aware that the online course unlocks sequentially. Give yourself ample time to complete each unit.
Professor is well educated in the subject
I should have dropped when I had the chance and gotten my money back. The professor uploads a total of 30 items of homework for you to do in the span of 8-10 days. The homework includes video quizzes, ALEKs & proctored quizzes. This course may throw you off of your game, don't take this course if you have an actual life outside of school.
Rude, condescending and passive aggressive. She has a huge attitude problem, and authority issue. The first I met her after my exam I was so hurt with how she was speaking to me that I cried on my way home. Do yourself a favor and don't even get near her.
A great professor
She was great!
I really like my professor. She is so nice and good at teaching. I learned a lot from her. If i have a chance, I will choose her again.
I strongly recommend avoiding this professor. She was often rude and unprofessional during class, dismissing student questions and on one occasion, told me to “figure it out myself” and left me feeling embarrassed. Questions were ignored in the interest of "saving time," and assignments were heavy with short deadlines.
She was overall not bad, but you'll need to study on your own most of the time. She gives you a final deadline for assignments, so don't leave things until the last minute—you might regret it. There are a lot of assignments in this course, so make sure to stay on top of them.
Greath professor, I learned so much. Thank you
Professor Yusefa is the best! I used to dislike math from middle school to high school, but her course improved my math skills. She provides straightforward and comprehensive learning resources to help you study and understand math easily. I strongly suggest her.
I really like the way she explain the lectures because it's clear and not too fast. Additionally, she always discusses our questions with strong enthusiasm, and I'm really respectful
She is definitely a great professor, but CCP decided to use Pearson, which meant we had a ridiculously long and tough final. This is foundational math.... how could anyone do well in that final exam? Please go back to the other math text you were using the semester before.
Although it was a lot of work, if you stayed focused and focused on the course, you would be fine. I enjoyed the class and would be willing to take another class with Professor Smith.
Overall a great professor, and class. There is a lot of homework, but it honestly was worth it and it made the quizzes much easier and it helps you retain the information. Math isn't so scary, take her class you won't regret it.
Professor Smith is invaluable and cares a lot about her students. There is a good amount of homework in the course, so it's important to stay on top of it and not fall behind, but if you do the work on time and keep up, you should be able to pass easily. There is always extra support offered; I highly recommend Professor Smith.
This was a great online class. Professor Smith tries her best to assist with whatever you need. She is great at responding to emails and messages. The work is not bad as long as you keep on top of it and don't fall behind.
She is a great teacher and know how to teach math very well, she has helped me understand math even more better when it was hard for me to solve them.
She's very thorough, and her homework may be a lot but it's very comprehensive.
She's a great teacher! She explained everything very clearly and didn't complicate things. Very organized and tech savvy, she had videos for every module which helped a lot. Would definitely take a class with her again.
It was a very good class and the professor is outstanding. Everything was very good.
Professor Smith Really helps to understand her course she explains well and she is patient.
There's a good amount of homework and videos to watch that can at times feel overwhelming, but they really do cover a lot of material, and it really helps for the tests. She clearly cares about her students and it shows in how she presents the material. This class helped me to be more confident in my math skills, I'd recommend her.
Class was easy. She was too strict. Even if we had a A as our final grade, if we didn't show up for the final exam, it was a automatic 0 I've never heard of no B.S like that before. she made us wait 24 hours just to get our final grades back. 24 hours! she tries 2 come off like she's hard but it's really not necessary. NIT PICKED about every thing
I want them to know that she's a very good professor but you have to be on time, doing your homework & participating in class. She wants her students to be succeed. Since I was a kid I didn't like math but because of her professionalism & her patience I did it. I am sory for giving you hard time. I hope to have you for next math class. Thanks
For someone who teaches a prerequisite, non-accredited class, she carries herself as though it's more than what it is. Even with an A, she's discourteous even when asking basic questions & providing clarity around your concerns. It doesn't help that she's THE HEAD OF THE MATH DEPT. So your best choice is to get in, get out & never ask for her help.
She is very helpful when you need it the assignments are well written simple.
She is very helpful
Honestly she was amazing, I am not the best at math and I usually have an average test grade of 60, but because she is a great teacher my average test score was actually 87! I would definitely take her class again.
Amazing Professor
Professor Yusefa is very intelligent and professional. She uses lecture time wisely and she uses different platforms to teach. She provides materials that help aid in the learning process
Professor Smith, was like no other professor she makes you EARN your grade. I recently took this class I learned nothing. However, after working with professor Smith she not only helped me pass her course but she helped me have a clear understanding when it comes to working with numbers. Professor Smith, was helpful. I would take another class.
Professor Yusefa is a great professor. It's a lot of homework, but the homework videos are kind of like class outside of class. After watching the videos I found it easier to do the homework. There's also a quiz every week, but if you do the practice quizzes and exams you won't have any surprises. Would definitely take another class with her.
