Comment:

I like her a lot, but I can understand why others would not. She was very supportive of me but I think it is because I participated a lot and I am a math major. She really does explain things well in my opinion and made me even more interested in math. I do wish she was slightly gentler on my classmates, I think she hurts people's feelings.

I wish I can give her a zero statrs. She will embarrass you in front of the class if you got the wrong answer. Personally I went to the professor to get extra tutoring, she was mad that I didnt get the question which was THE REASON WHY I NEEDED TUTORTING and later embarrased me in the tutoring office

This was not an easy A, but as long as you put in the work and do ALL the homework, her tests will be manageable. She is a tough grader, so you have to be thorough with your work. The textbook was used for homework only. She does jump around a lot in her lectures, but as long as you show up to class and try to make an effort, you'll do well.

Tests are from the textbook problems but are extremely difficult ones. She lets you put up problems on the board for her to explain how to do, but she intimates the hell out of you. It got to the point where you don't want to raise my hand to answer a question because she would humiliate you for saying the wrong answer.

She is the most unsupportive, nasty professor i have ever had. She assumes you know things and whenever you get something wrong she screams and meets it with a nasty remark. Her tests are absurdly hard and ask questions on material not covered in class/in the book at all If you want to hate math and fail the course, take her. Otherwise, stay away.

She is the worst professor I ever took. I am very good at math, but she made calculus a nightmare. She gives crazy problems on the exams and does not give partial credit. Half the class dropped the class after the first exam including me. Take Saminejad... Huge difference between their teaching styles. Trust me, he is the best calc prof EVER!

Professor Feigenbaum alway creative, reasonable, professional, insightful, and efficient. She would be willing let her student make corrections on every exam to our grades. Professor Feigenbaum makes the lecture more engaging, clear, straightforward, and easy to understand. She grades exams and homework more fairly. Professor seems to be available

Good professor. Tests are not easy but the lectures are clear. If you ask her she is always there to help you out. You will work hard but you will learn a lot. If you like math i recommend to take her class. Good luck

Comment:

Had her for Calculus 2. She is no nonsense and strict, but for good reason. Calculus 3 is much harder and you NEED to know your stuff. She makes sure you do for moving forward. She gives quizzes and collects certain HWs for a "gimme" grade (replaces lowest test score with collective hw/quiz grade) I've learned the most with her.

Best math professor in the college. Course was rigorous and exams were difficult. However,very fair. Lowest test dropped. Homework boosts grade. The woman is a total genius and is very enthusiastic in the classroom. Without a doubt, class will more than prepare you for transfer to a four year school. Bottom Line: Top notch professor in every way.

All of these people who said that she is terrible, either lazy or interested in easy A or both. I am not the best mathematician at all, but Calculus I took with her was one of the best math classes in my life (and I got many). She is totally brilliant as math teacher,explains everything, tons of examples. But you have to work hard to get FAIR grade

Do not take her if you have goals in life, and want to move on in your career. Best grades. Her exams are harder than MIT's. She is easily the worst professor I have ever had and does not care how much you suck up to her. Your poor performance is a reflection of her inability to teach.

I have no idea why people are giving her such bad reviews, yea she?s hard but is because she wants to make sure you know what you?re doing, before each test just make sure you?re able to do the quizzes at the end of each chapter and you?ll pass the test. She?s great at explain and making sure her students understand.
