Comment:
Professor Head is a fast-paced lecturer. Fall behind and you can easily get confused. It is best to write down questions and ask at the end. Pop quizzes and tests are more difficult versions of in-class work and homework. Cumulative midterms and final. Homework is optional, not graded, but she does go over it. Very little extra credit, but it helps

Took her for Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Professor Head really knows what shes teaching. Each course was 8 weeks long (both in one semester) so you have to pretty much rush through the material. If you procrastinate even a bit, you will get left behind. Exams aren't that bad, though a few mistakes could cost you a letter grade.

Professor Head is such an amazing math professor. I always looked forward to lectures everyday because she explains the materials very thoroughly. Honestly, I found her class enjoyable. Do homework religiously everyday. Go to tutors for Calc III; we had STEM and MESA tutors, and I took advantage of that. Quiz every week, except test week.

She knows what she is doing. She is very prepared and knows what will be discussed in class before class starts. Grades are based on "labs" (which were done in class with other students), quizzes, and tests. She makes a cheat sheet to use for tests, we get it before hand to be able to practice using it. She is very approachable and helpful.

Fabulous teacher. She taught me beginning algebra and stats and both time i had thought i wouldn't succeed and i did. She's easy and helpful. The test mostly like the review she hands out prior. She made me love math again.

Very kind teacher. If you do hw in the book and online, you're prepared for her tests because they're hard. She'll answer any questions you have and sometimes go over them in class. She also sometimes show funny youtube videos. I recommend her!

Amazing teacher!! Explains things perfectly and will always answer any questions that are asked. She never makes anyone feel stupid. The homework is much harder than the tests which is good. If you do the h.w. you should do fine. HIGHLY recommend this teacher.

Comment:
She is challenging in a way that I am thankful for. The first several exams seemed extremely hard, but that may be because they required dexterity with precalc and calc I concepts when we weren't expecting it/had long forgotten them. Things got better, and she had helpful extra credit assignments. She is unusually friendly and ADORABLE!!

She is a nice teacher and is very helpful. However, she doesn't completely tell you every last detail to certain topics. I often felt confident about certain tests, but I often lost plenty of points because she didn't clarify some things. Also, she likes creating questions that cover little things we don't know. I'm a math student, GPA buster. B.

I took this precalc1 class about to semesters back and I passed with a B. She was super helpful with homework questions and other questions in general. Also, I didn't study much. I reccomend taking her classes.

Comment:
Head is one of the best math professors I have ever had. She makes the subject crystal clear. She is helpful and answers questions and welcomes you to office hours, but doesn't like it when you ask a million questions about last night's homework during lecture- ask her after class. She expects you to do your own work, you earn the grade you get.

This is a wonderful teacher! she is always there to answer questions and doesn't want anyone to fail, Homework is NOT 50 questions a night it's more like 5-10 and she doesn't collect it but if you do the homework you will pass the class. She made me love math

This class was extremely hard. The class as a whole is failing. I was an a student until this class. She assigns a lot of homework about 50 problems a night. She expects that you get help outside of class, but with a full load that is too hard to do. You are going to have to figure it out. You can not use a graphing calculator on tests. Good luck!

she is the best teacher! she is helpful and nice. she gives out tons of extra credit in the end. does what she can to help you succeed. her tests are HARD! but if you do the homework, and there is a good amount of homework, and do the test review, you should be fine. there are 5 tests, weekly quizzes, and nightly homework, plus the killer final.

AMAZING!! She is very sweet and patient. The material is hard, but like in any class, if you study hard and do the homework you WILL understand. The homework is not required, however, if you do not do the homework, you will be lost. I would take her class again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!
