If you want to understand math and pass to next level knowing the material, then have this professor. She's amazing. Addresses all questions. I emailed her weekends and she replies - Really caring and amazing!! She makes class go over her lectures during the class and checks one by one to make sure you got it. TEST, verifies one by onemore points.

Online homework is a breeze, but it's daily homework. Quiz every week and 3 tests. She lectures well but you are expected to fill in a couple blanks

If you need someone to explain thoroughly and not fast this is not the teacher for you. She is very nice although when it comes to teaching she doesnt properly explain and go through the problems, any questions you have, you have to ask after class. Sometimes when asking questions she wont fully understand the question and just move on.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Does not teach well! She teaches way too fast and always does the longer ways of each math problem. Pearson teaches better than her :/ It's also hard to catch up if you are behind.

Lectures go are quick. Many student are failing her class right now. Many people ended up dropping. She teaches the long way, so if youre bad at math DONT take this class. No test corrects or study guide. HW is only 20% while tests are worth 80%. If you get 100 on the hw, but fail the tests, you'll fail the class. We have 4 tests and 1 final exam.

This is the only class that gives me good memories from the first semester of my first year in community college. Too sad she is leaving in 2 years and retiring and moving up north. She has been a saint. I will miss her. �� Math is my strength.
