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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
