One of the most amazing Professors out there. She takes the time to walk around the class as student work independently. Takes the lectures slow and lets you ask as many questions as needed. She's willing to see you during office hours or outside them and she will spend one-on-one time to help you. Calc 2 with her was easy and she's just AMAZING.

I am a math major and graduated from Palomar. Professor Anfinson is the BEST professor I have ever learned from. I really wish all the other professors were like her. Even in the upper division courses, there is no other professor like Prof. Anfinson. She is EXTREMELY organized, clear lectures, helpful, and she is a really, really nice person.

love her. EXTREMELY organized and posts all her lecture notes, exam keys, etc. on canvas. Exams shouldNT be hard if you study the lecture notes and do more practice problems. homework on webassign can be quite tedious though-- some questions there are much harder than what's on the exams. super helpful and caring +she gives candy on exam days

It's a very tough class, but she really cares about the students and is always happy to answer questions. The homework is important to be done on time because it prepares you for the weekly quizzes. Didnt like how the exams are usually based off of the hard homework problems from the book, instead of the normal ones, though.

Cindy is an amazing professor, and I'm glad I took her for 140. She teaches calc in a way that is PALATABLE. I took her class a few semesters ago. Biggest issue I had with the course was that it felt like the exams didn't match with the homework/labs/quizzes. I got B's on her homework and labs, and the quizzes were hw based but D-F on exams. ouch

I took Professor Anfinson for Calc 1 and Linear Algebra. I'm pretty bummed I can't take more of her classes. She's honestly my favorite professor at Palomar. Her lectures are clear and neat, she grades/returns graded work promptly, and she always is available for help. She also brings candy on exam days. :)

Great calculus professor. Provided excellent help outside of class. She posts all the notes on her website & provides study guides w answers for all the tests. The tests have problems that are very similar from lecture, study guide & HW. HW is on webassign; gives you more time if needed. Labs are easy points. Don't get behind & u should be good.

She was my FAVORITE teacher at Palomar. If you do the work, ask for help, and understand everything, you'll do well in her class. She loves to help people. I used to visit her in the math center before I became a tutor there and she was so awesome at explaining everything that I made sure to get her for Calc I. She made me love calculus.

Absolutely adore this professor. Her lectures are very clear and she is genuinely interested in helping her students suceed. She explains all concepts thoroughly. I would definitely take her again. She did have labs due every couple of weeks which was extra work, but definitely helped your grade if you needed the extra points.

Fantastic Teacher. Defines everything, very easy to understand, helpful, and teaches at a good speed. I took the 6 week summer course and I am SO glad I chose her. I retained the information, and actually understand algebra now! She is, literally, the best math professor I have ever had. Her teaching techniques work, and she is a fair grader.

Go to class, do your homework and you will do fine. She is a lenient grader and gives partial credit if you show your work. The 4 labs turned out to be a lifesaver (as well as fun) even though we all hate the thought of labs in math.

Should be a 4 unit class the way she teaches it. You will learn Trigonometry with her. During the hardest portion of the class she sped up the curriculum in order to stay on track. Don't expect a curve.
