Good math teacher. Take her if you can
Best math teacher I've ever had! Helps you clearly understand the material. Great sense of humor and beautiful to look at.
Go to class.
Good teacher to start Relearning math with. I hadn't been in a math class in a while, But She broke it down so simply, that I think my high school math teachers could learn a thing from her.Her teasing is well intentioned and worth showing up for.
great professor!
She'll make fun of you if you're not smart.
she is funning and gives you time to do homework in class.
Ms Romoero knows how what to teach and what to teach.
I hadn't been to school in 15 years and coming back to math (this winter) a subject i hate. Ms. Romero gave me a reason to kinda like it. She is an excellent teacher and I told her not to change her style of how she teaches!
She is a pretty good teacher, she does go through things fast so you have to keep up with her. but overall she is very good
Best teacher ever.
Let's say it like the truth. She's not really good, she's easy. She'll pass you because to her teaching Math is simply a career. So yu'll pass easy. If you need a second Math, DO NOT TAKE HER. You won't be prepared!
great teacher, funny & nice
Very helpful professor. Pay close attention! This is NOT the class to day dream in, once your lost your lost. Do MATH LAB, it's helpful for you if your lost or if your just need help in Math. Lectures very fast, again pay ATTENTION! This class was great I learned ALOT!
Yikes! This class was difficult, although Romero is an excellent teacher. She's very clear and concise, although she has a habit of putting the hardest questions from the chapter on the test. Make sure you study!!
shes coo! the HW is always due at the end of the week. that takes some load off hahaha!
Great teacher. Hard though. with any math class, dont miss even 1.
She is a very nice teacher, but she is to hard, she only spends one day on the sections and puts the hardest questions on the test. she goes vry fast expects you to already know stuff. if you really want to lear and can pick up fast take her if not STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
She is such a good teacher. She really teaches the material very well and she is always willing to help you out. Her tests and quizzes aren't overwhelming if you study and learn how to do the math. I highly suggest you take her because you will learn.
The best teacher ever lived
very good teacher, highly recommend her
She's the coolest and best teacher I've ever had! I've had her since Pre-Algebra! She's the best. I've recommended her to other students & they enjoyed her too. She takes time with her students and really puts a lot of effort in making sure u understand the material. This class is hard without effort but if you put effort its easier.TAKE HER CLASS!
I have never been that great in math but she helped me to undestand better.. I wish I could take her for Math 123B-?? I loved being in Romero's Class.
she is still so cool taching calculus and hot too.
she is easy i guess but its just her accent that i wasnt able to understand her lectures. i took her for winter session n` i passed. tests and quizzes are pretty easy
I really enjoyed Ms. Romero. She's pretty strict and demands respect. I like that about her, she doesn't play games. I learned a lot in her class and she made it enjoyable.
I haven't taken math in 6 years due to my fear and thank god I took Romero. She is clear and straight to the point. Gives extra credit and you know what to expect on your test bec. most of the time they are problems in your homework or a problem used as an example. Just make sure you do your homework and extra credit it helps a ton. Recommended
this teacher is evil! she is helpful sometimes, but she looks for the hardest question out of the book for the test, she does not let you use a calculator. you have to be already good in math to even pass her class. I would not reccomend this teacher, the people who said that she is good are teachers pets. she has her favorites in the class.
WOW! SHe is great, Real clear and to the point. Shes about the bizness, if you want to learn take her, Home work is easy, and she will do everythiung she can to help you. All she wants is respect and she gets it in class which i think scares others. GREAT TEACHER!!!!
Mrs. Romero is way cool. She makes it easy to learn. I was math illiterate before her class. And, I actually am finding myself learning. Mrs. Romero is an excellent instructor. I guarantee, if you want to learn, stay with this teacher. Romero definitely has what it take to be a successful teacher, I actually enjoy and look forward to Math now.
If I ever want to be a teacher, I would like to be like Ms. Romero. She's great. Explains everything & goes out of her way to help you understand. I had a couple bad experiences w/2 other math teachers but I assure you would like her. She's sweet, cute, & expects your attention when she's teaching. I loved going to her class.
This teacher is very unhelpful and I'm not sure why she became a teacher. You cannot ask questions about homework, she will suggest mathlab. Does not go over tests. She puts you on the spot, especially students who don't get it, it seems like it's on purpose. She definitely has little favorites and she's very very fake.
Professor Romero is such an awesome teacher. She helps her students by giving them time to ask after the discussion. She also gives 'homework day' which is very good. Overall, she is a very good teacher. Take her!
She's a great teacher. i had her for all my math courses.
This is one of the best college math teachers I have ever had. If your willing to do the homework and study often you'll do good in the class. Ms. Romero is a very dedicated and extremely helpful teacher. SHe was always available to stay after class and go over problems.
If you can take big Leah (HAHA) for your math why??shes the best teacher at harbor i swear no words can describe what an awesome professor she is. dont forget to ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
best math teacher at harbor!!! she's the sweetest and the most helpful! if you don't pass her class than you didn't try.
If you are math phobic, anxious or challenged, the only teacher to go to at Harbor College is Z. Romero. She is brilliant. Under her able guidance, confusion & anxiety will melt away. You will become confident at solving the most complex of equations. But most of all you will end up loving and appreciating math. 5 stars-the best teacher ever!!
Z.Romero is one of the best teachers around. She runs a high energy exciting class. Romero is a dynamic and charming professor who will convince you that math is the greatest thing since sliced bread. You will learn and feel good about. She's popular so you may have to be on stand-by to get into her class. It's worth it.
Until Romero's class, I didn't like math - now I think its fun. She's my favorite teacher ever.
Not the best math teacher at Harbor.In other math classes I havn't gotten less than an "A" and the times I have taken her I got a "C" and a "B".Doesn't like to be interrupted during lecture and rude about telling you. Tries to be helpful but she will not show you the steps. People take her and fail the class and still say she's a wonderful teacher
Prof. Romero is the sweetest math prof. I ever had in my life. If you don't get something, she will explain to you in detail. If you have personal problems, she is the one to talk to. Students say she is mommy prof. since she always cares about her students. She has EC and HW day (very helpful). She gives partial credit on the exam. The Best !!!
she is awsome. wow , the greatest professor ever. WOW beautiful too.
best math teacher ever, lots of homework but very helpul for tests and quizes and for extra credit, answeres questions, explains everything esay tests if you study, i was bad at math and after passing math 123 a and b with A i felt so confident with math (:
i use to hate math and was pretty intimadated by it, but proffesor Romero really makes math make sense and pretty fun. I recomend her for anyone who thinks there bad at math. She will help you see that your really not.
The teacher is a good teach, knows her stuff, but has a habit of picking favorites and speaking to all students, LIKE CHILDREN. I was reduced to tears when coming in 2 minutes late and embarrassed in front of whole class (8am) 2nd time late and disabled, and take bus. I dropped the class. Needs sensitivity training. But good teacher, not for me.
i feel like my 112 professor didnot prepare me for the next level. she moves fast, and while she says ask questions, i don't find her sincere. i've been told to goto the mathlab but they don't teach the same way...but i do appreciate her level of energy, im not bored.i just feel kind of stupid. great teacher for anyone that grasps the concepts eas
I LIKE THE WAY SHE TEACHES. I NEVER LIKED MARTH BUT ROMERO GOT ME INTERESTED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DONT FAIL MATH =) SHES ALWAYS ON TIME AND COLLECTS HW. BE PREPARED TO ASK QS
realy helped unerstand the subject
DO NOT TAKE MATH WITH THIS WOMAN. I passed the class... but it was EXTREMELY hard! She is hard to understand and somewhat annoying to be around... some love her super-crazy-over-active- energy...not for me... i kinda like normal people mosre... she always says "ask questions!" but she is not that helpful... she pretty much sucks... :(
very good, I got an A
THE BEST TEACHER, HANDS DOWN! I never understood math until taking it with her! She makes sure everyone understands the material and constantly encourages her students to "asks questions"
Very nice teacher. Always willing to help students who don't understand. Passed the class with a C because I made careless mistakes on my quizzes and tests but knew I could've done better. I would recommend taking her class.
Dissapointed with this teacher. She's very nice & easy to talk to, but she makes pre-calculus impossible to understand. She goes over lectures, but her examples are completely different from the quizzes and tests. If you're planning to take her, good luck. It's not an easy class to pass. You need to devote your time in order to pass or you will fai
This woman is impossible! I did not get anything out of lecture. She's all over the place! I wished I dropped the class or I would've never been stuck with the lousy grade that I have. Whenever anyone asks her question, she gives them the worse attitude ever. But she expects EVERYONE to ask questions. If you do plan on taking her, GOOD LUCK.
This instructor could be considered tough, but not in the way of the best teachers, who may be tough but are also flexible when the situation calls for it. Tough is fine, but this teacher is more rigid, than tough. Learning by rote, and if you don't get it - go to the math lab. And if you openly disagree with her, expect your grade to suffer.
Se is Horrible!!! I never missed a day of class, took notes and listened to her un organized lectures. It's as if jibberish comes from her mouth. Shes easy to talk to, buthas no sympathy or wanting to help you at all. 3 words...RUN!!!! take Gagrat or any other teacher unless you want to fail!
i tried to take her for pre-calc. WRONG. she gives little to no examples. the examples she gives are useless when it comes to doing HW. her quizzes and tests dont match the notes or the HW. i asked for help at least 4 times a day. half the time she would say go ask a partner, the other half she would just look at me and say figure it out yourself.
Professor Romero is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. She's definitely not easy, but if you are willing to work hard she is willing to help you, 110%. She will give you back more than you put in as long as you want to do the work. I've taken 5 of her classes, I loved them all (from math123b-pre-algebra-stat)
The class is pretty straight forward.She clearly picks out her favorite students.She wont hesitate to snap at you.I was yelled at for raising my hand,another student was snapped at for referring a students question.The list goes on.I usually like my teachers but,I agree with the negative comments below.
Extrememly good teacher, cares,but you have to respect her as a professor when she is lecturing,dont be on your phone,dont be late,dont talk when shes talking and she will respect you.Very helpfull,goes out of her way to spend time with u when u need help.Love her.I had the worst algebra teachers my whole life until I took her class,now I get math.
Great instructor! She might not be nice to all her students, but she is highly effective. Explains things well & will help you if you need it. Just have enough common sense to be respectful in her class & do your work. Easy A for students that are willing to REALLY pay attention & do hw.
Great teacher!! i wish i would have taken her for 123A & B i would have been done with math a long time ago! she is very helpful and dont be afraid to ask ?s she is there to help you! she does have her favorites in the class but she will always help you until you understand even if you stay after class for more help! take Romero!
Mrs. Romero is g8t she explains everything crystal clear & is there willing to help you until you understand it!She is an amazing professor with a high tolerance of patience, understanding,& kindness. She prepares you for the higher end math, & is really passionate about teaching Math! She is dedicated to helping each of her students suceed!A++++++
Romero is nice but snaps at people when they have a question and that's bad because how can one understand if it upsets her to stop and explain.. She told the class to review our tests and quizzes but most of the questions weren't even in prior Tests or quizzes. I definitely know 9 people that failed and other people in diff classes too :/
excellent teacher! makes sure students understand work and gives time for questions.
I used to not get what's goin on with math. but MS. ZT ROMERO explained everything! crystal clear! step by step! She is the best teacher ever!!! And she is very compassionate and caring! i love her!
She is a great prof. but you have to work really hard on your own to pass. She's open to questions but math lab and with classmates is where I learned the most. You need to have a thicker skin to be in her class, she snaps every now and then. Who doesn't though? I took 123A B C, and STATS.
first of all, this teacher told me i was going to fail her class the first day she met me after i told her i didn't take the pre requisite. After 2 months of me taking good notes, doing all the hw CORRECTLY (i had a tutor that checked all my work) I FAILED every single quiz and test!! Ive never failed so many tests in a math class.Her tests suck.
I agree with the comments below that say her test are difficult...she's kinda nice but she can be rude at times..so it's hard ask her anything because you never know what to expect..you have to do a lot of work on your own to learn everything really well and she does pick the most difficult questions to put on the test
Also she has this thing were she makes everything seem really difficult, but if you look at the book or go to the math lab you will realize its very easy..i'm not sure how she does that; it's kind of amazing ..for that I give her 5 stars!
I don't even know we're to start..this class was challenging to say the least..I don't even think the subject was hard but her exams are beyond ..I mean getting a decent grade with this particular teacher is impossible..if you have all the time in the world to basically learn everything on your own do take her class.. But if you have a life and you're a full time student ..take anyone else..I wish I had
Lectures are fast, clear, and to the point. If you are someone who has taken Algebra in HS (or before) you'll love her quick pace. Attendance & the book are mandatory! She gives little EC and only takes a couples of HW. She drops 1 test, and the final is supposedly culm. However the final is mainly the last 2 chapters. Quizzes -easy, tests - hard.
Nice teacher, but moody at times. Especially if you don't understand a problem the first time. She's willing to help if you have trouble with hw. I miss class for personal resons and she was very understanding. Just do homework weekely and don't fall behind. Ask questions during class if u need to. Overal good professor.
I cant explain how much I love Romero. She has been such a big help to me in so many ways. She is so helpful and very thorough of her lectures. Make sure you come everyday and sit infront of the class. She has made me enjoy math and I used to hate it. i took her for 123A, B & C.
Ms. Romero is a wonderful teacher and actually about making sure her students do well. She is very nice and also really pretty.
I wish I had a diff prof.. :(
Very helpful, she loves when you ask questions, best math professor I've ever had!
Math is one of my worse subjects, but she is the best at what she does. The lecture she gives is easy to understand. Best math teacher ever!!!
Excellent professor. Math is voodoo magic to me - she made it clearly understandable. Always available to help. Wonderful teacher, lovely person.
She really dislikes when students are late or do not show up to class, so just pay her the respect of coming to every class on time. Her lectures are very understandable, and she constantly stops to answer any questions about a topic before moving on. Her quizzes and tests are really easy if you pay attention, take notes, and do the homework.
Math 123A was difficult and this professor made it more difficult as she "rushed" through each sectionchapter. She abruptly answers questions, is rude, lazy, and vindictive. She uses an outdated textbook (2008) and her lectures do not correspond with textbook. She has a huge chip on her shoulder. Great disappointment!
Easy class if you show up everyday and pay attention ! Even though she doesn't collect the homework I would most definitely recommend you to do the homework because it prepares you a lot for the exams.. She can be moody at times but just ignore it and don't get her upset because that puts you on her bad side.
What she teaches is not what she will test you on. You have figure out on your own what you think will be on the test. For this reason going to class is pointless, and doing well on the exams is pure luck. I passed, but I didn't feel I was taught what I was supposed to be taught. I learned it all on my own, this class should be online.
I took her for Math 260 over the Fall. It was honestly challenging. But manageable, I even thought of dropping the class. But when I talked to Romero about dropping the class, she helped me out and told me how much points I needed and it was possible to still get a "C" instead of getting a "W". Good professor.
Romeo is a wonderful teacher. She helps you and gives you grace when you fall short. Very helpful when you ask her questions you need further help in. All in all, I recommend her
Best math teacher. Really takes the time to explain everything so you understand what you're doing.
Lectures were not all that great. Some days she wouldn't even do anything but sit there and say "just do homework" but then she wouldn't explain on how to do it well enough. Does give a lot of homework but doesn't even collect it. When the class does poorly she gets mad at everyone and gives more work. Dropped the class.
Overall, she is a good teach and very knowledgeable. Get ready to study cuz she will choose tough questions test you, some of that she never mentioned before, she is nice, helpful. Don't be late, she will get upset. Not an easy class.
Romero goes super fast you have to be good at math in order for you to take her because she constantly says "work on your speed" so she pressures you. Test are hard, skips many steps when she's teaching. She writes the test by hand so it really messy. Shes rude and makes you feel dumb if you ask a question. Take someone else unless ur good at math
She is an overall rude and unhelpful professor. She hand writes everything and gives out too many worksheets to keep up with. Really unorganized teaching. She wants you to ask questions but when you do she answers very rudely and discourages you to ask for help. SHE WILL NOT HELP YOU. Very tough class.
Best math teacher i wish she would teach other algebra classes I have not been able to find another math teacher as good as she is. Really takes the time to explain everything so you understand what you're doing.
Messy, lazy, VERY rude, makes you feel dumb, and doesn't care about you. She rushes through lectures. The week before our final she cancelled class and told us to just study all our notes. She doesn't teach what's on her test. I asked for help once and she got mad and told me to sit down and ask people around me. Save yourself and get a better clas
I took her spring semester and she would make anyone who asked questions feel dumb. I also noticed that there were people re taking her class and she would have favorites. If they asked anything she'd be the sweetest person to them and if you weren't one of her favorites she'd get mad at you for asked a "dumb" question..
Awesome Math teacher! Everyone complains that she goes to quick but it is a college course, if you are behind there a free tutors that can help you.. So take ADVANTAGE & "ask questions" :)
Romero makes math very easy to understand. She takes what looks complicated in the book and makes it seem simple. She cares about her class, but is disappointed when her students do not score well. She gives partial credit on tests. Sometimes she is a little grouchy, but not often. Otherwise she is really nice and wants to help you succeed.
I am bad at math and didn't have a too difficult time, but it was NOT easy. I barely passed because I would go to tutoring and study groups, . She's mean and not the best at 1 on 1 help, you definetly need to put in time to pass.
Sweet, kind professor. Gives lots of examples & is available to help if you have questions. HW was done online. Final was cumulative but the most recently covered material was the bulk of it. If you review examples and the text, ask questions, and use the math tutors in the LRC, if needed, there is no reason you can't get an A.
I strongly encourage you to go to math labs and study there. She gives out two examples a day and expects you do the problems on the quiz the way she though you in class or else its wrong. She does hand out extra credit and partial points. Don't get her mad, she will put you on the spot, so its better staying quiet.
Be on-time , pay attention .Do all the work required. She is very kind, caring but firm. Gives lots of extra credit , gives partial points on the tests. SHOW ALL YOUR WORK.
do all the homework & be on-time.
Took her for pre-calc over the summer. It was a little dumbed down from fall/spring, but pretty close. She gave partial credit on tests, and we had lots of extra credit opportunities. Tests were fine, just had material from the lectures. Easy A for me, but some others in the class had a harder time. If you did well in the prereqs you'll be fine.
She's a pretty great teacher. She doesn't allow you to make up any tests nor does she reopen any homework or quizzes. If you don't do the online portion of the class, you won't pass. She goes pretty quickly so be sure to ask questions when you're stuck, if you still don't understand her,go to tutoring, she gives extra credit for going.
Shes a pretty great teacher, a lot of people complain but she tries to help you out if she can. She offers a lot of extra credit to make quizzes and tests easier. If you get 100 on her final, she'll give you the A in class. This is my third class with her, I really enjoy it.
Did Stats over Summer at Harbor. Power points are excellent and I never once looked at the textbook or YouTube. You must pay your dues and do the homework and quizzes on time. The extra credit provided at the end took my grade from a C to an A. Life saving, but expected from a grueling 6 week Stats course. Expect to study a lot and you'll be fine.
Took her for both Trig and Stats. Let me tell you that she is an amazing professor. She definitely prepares her students for pre-calc and definitely Calculus. Gives A LOT of extra credit. I totally recommend her.
if math isn't your best subject i suggest you don't take her.. she doesn't answer emails very quickly, sometimes she just ignores you and doesn't answer.. she's not helpful AT ALL.
This is a self-taught class, so if you're looking for help. Take someone else. She doesn't even reply to emails I've sent, but sends announcements quite often. Homeworks were actually different from the quizzes and tests, not joking. I passed this course, but want to warn others ahead of time. Take someone else if you could and learn from them.
Totally recommend this class if you do not have time to take her in class. I took Ms Romero for multiple math classes very nice and helpful. She always returned emails quickly. If you apply yourself and do the homework you will pass. She goes the extra mile. This is an online class so you have to make extra time and push yourself to do the work.
Ms. Z. Romero, Is the greatest Math Professor ever. As a student, I am truly honored and privileged to be one of her students. Her lectures were very useful and they made sense when you work on homework. She is very well equipped to be there for students. She takes her time to make Math fun. she is one of a kind. Truly passionate about her work.
She is such an amazing professor. I took her for two classes (Statistics and Trignometry) She makes sure you understand the material. Gives extra credit for going to tutoring. She definitely cares about her students. If you want an A you definitely have to work for it. Take her!
I can't judge her as a professor because I basically learned everything through Pearson. There was minimal interaction between her and the class (she's sent three announcements this whole course). And when I would try to ask a q' she doesnt reply. Overall, subject isn't bad if you do the required work.
I took this class during the summer session (6 week course). You have to purchase an access code to use Pearson. She gives extra credit which is very easy. She also curved the final exam. She gives 3-4 homework assignments, 1 quiz and 1 exam with every chapter. I taught myself with the help of Pearson and youtube videos. Overall easy class.
Professor Romero was an alright professor, I took her class for winter term and never had to join a zoom meeting but there was a ton of homework. I learned a lot but the amount of work can definitely be taxing so be prepared.
If you're bad at math, take this class. She gives you extra credit JUST PUT IN EFFORT. She's my favorite math teacher so far, she actually cares and tries to help you understand. I did have to pay for the Pearson program which was a bit costy but other than that, this class was good.
She had a mandatory zoom meeting where she gave an assignment, she wouldn't record the lecture in canvas, so students who had obligations could not get credit for the mandatory assignment. She also had a make-up at the end of the semester except she didn't unlock the assignments in Pearson and refused to give more. Students couldn't reach her.
