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.

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.

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 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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
