Comment:
I would not recommend Kidd. I love math and find it to be very easy. She made everything difficult to understand because she always mixes up what she is saying. Her tests are so tricky. She often tells us that we could have "interpreted" the question one way, but she meant it another. Confusing, tricky, and not flexible.

This lady is an excellent teacher. I never felt she 'talked down' to me, she just has high expectations for all of her students and is willing to take the time to help you learn (if you are willing to make the effort). I'm not a math person but she made the class totally worthwhile.

Comment:
Compared to some of the other teachers in the JMU math department, Kidd is awesome. Sometimes I didn't like her teaching style, but during class she took questions and answered them well. If you're like me and don't like math to begin with, it is a little hard. Tutoring in elementary schools is awesome though! Daily exit quizzes-go to every class!

Comment:
Avoid this woman. She seems really sweet the first week but talks down to students and acts as though we are 3 years old. She confuses herself while teaching and says the wrong thing then denies that she made an error. She requires tutoring yet is unwilling to work with you if this does not fit your schedule. Trick questions, no partial credit.

Comment:
Kidd was a great instructor. She was funny, enthusiastic, and always clear in her examples and explanations. Assigns a good amount of homework, but never checked it. I probably only did 2 worksheets total the whole semester and got an A. Just pay attention in class and take notes. The tutoring hours were def. a great experience! Take her!!

Comment:
She seems so sweet at the beginning but she avoids questions and just assigns more and more homework. Then on her tests she makes you write word problems and will take a lot of points off she doesn't think its a "good" question, she makes math subjective and takes points off for small things. Not the worst professor, but not the best either.

Dr. Kidd is an amazing teacher. If you go to her office hours to ask for help, rather than annoying the rest of the class during class time she is very helpful. She is very clear and a very nice woman..waaaaaaaaaaay better than phillipi and everyone knows that

Mrs. Judy is an effective instructor. Her class is a bit challenging, but if you work hard, you will be fine. Her goal is to get students to enhance their Math skills so that we be effective teachers. I don't see in her the passion of wanting to fail you; but I see it as her goal is to help each student in becoming the best; so work diligently.

This woman is awful.Expect a quiz everyday at the last 4 mins., forget it if you have a class after hers... When you ask a question in class she not only skirts the question, but makes you look stupid. There's no real way to track your grade either. The least compassionate professor I've had here ...this class is why I switched my major AVOID HER!

Comment:
I found her to be a really good teacher, but at the same time, she assigned a lot of homework. Plus, there was a quiz every day! Also, in class it seemed like she would try to make students look bad when she asked them questions. She was good when you went outside of class to see her though. I wouldn't take her if you can help it.

Wonderful lady. Her tests are really hard though. The class is great.. just make sure you know the material before the test- ask questions, go over your homework and do the review and you should get a good grade

Not a real difficult class as long as you pay attention and do your homework. Explains things in different ways so that everyone can understand. Expects a lot out of you and pushes you to do your best. Teaches in a way that is relevant to the IDLS program. Will try to trick you on test though!

Prof. Kidd is soooo nice. she makes you feel like you matter and you're not just a number at JMU. She will talk to you outside of class about anything not just math and she is very helpful in any way she can.

Avoid at all costs. Her tests are made to trick you. She collects all your homework before she teaches and grades it for a good part of your final grade. She is a pain in the ass.

tests can be tricky but def doable. Shes a good teacher and really tries to get everyone to understand the material. you have to do 8 volunteer hrs at an elementary school as part of grade.
