Comment:

She's a very difficult teacher who accused me and other students multiple times for cheating on exams because we had the same wrong answers. Yes, she gave us zeros on exams because me and another student had similar answers for questions that we received a zero on in the first place. She doesn't give enough time on her tests and various quizzes.

Comment:

Elizabeth Smith is so far probably my worst professor I've taken in college so far due to the lack of good teaching and will suspect you of cheating off of a small similarity of a answer between you and another student. I do not suggest you take her because I had a hard time trying understand her.

She was very sweet, but she took off points for no reason at all. Even when you try so hard on assignments, she marks off a point and doesnt tell you why. Shes very picky on how she grades so make sure you elaborate or else youll get marked down.

Smith was ok. Theres a decent amount of assignments but they aren't hard. She just takes points off of everything for seemingly no reason & gives no feedback as to why. You have to do multiple child interviews but the only 'test' is the final. Overall I didn't hate the class and I did well, but she was just kinda annoying

This professor takes off points in almost everything, even when you try so hard to do the assignments. Never give any chances even if you have issues and need help, she never helps. I had to miss one class because of an issue that I had and she told me that shell not let me makeup the work and that most likely Ill end up not passing.

quizzes to start every class. crazy amount of homework. if you ask for help she will tell you to read the book. no study guide or formula cheat sheet for the tests. have to memorize and obscene amount of formulas that you will forget right after the test. If you must take her go to tutoring in the library.

Smith is one of the best professors at Grossmont, she teaches math so profoundly and is passionate about the subject. You will not pass by skipping her class. DO THE HOMEWORK. LITERALLY YOUR QUIZZES AND EXAM DEPEND ON YOU DOING THE HOMEWORK. Do not take this class thinking its an easy A. If you career choice involves a lot of math, take her!:)

I would not recommend Smith. She lectures but then gives assignments/homework on stuff she never covered. She expects you to know what youre doing without clear instruction or examples to refer back to. She doesnt allow you to miss quizzes at all, EVEN if you have a legit excuse. Miss class and you wont pass. She is very petty with her points.

Worst teacher I have ever had. She is not willing to help and does not explain lectures very well. Makes you do mostly group work with little explanation of how to do things. She also is a tough grader and takes off points for the smallest things.

I ended up dropping her class about a month before the final. She did not care about my education at all. She pretty much told me that she wasn't going to help me when I discussed dropping the class because of some health issues I was having. I wasn't even failing the class and she was still unwilling to lend a helping hand. Doesn't explain lecture

Best math teacher ever! She is very good at explaining everything you need to know if you need help she will help you in class and outside of class. I always went to get help an hour before class and she was very clear and very helpful. Very thankful for her! Show up to class though or you will be lost! Awesome teacher!

Does not explain the lecture, so your on your own understanding the lecture. Very hard grader, she expect you to write more then what you were expected to write. She focus on the grammar and spelling a lot, so it is more English class then math. Overall, she made the class hard

I took this professor this semester and dropped it. The only thing I like about her is that she let you use your homework on the quizzes but overall she's a tough grader. Like I get it that it's Statistics and she wants you to write more than expected. This isn't an English class. Her grading is ridiculous and we also do Math Activity's in groups.

The class itself is not hard and Beth does explain things fairly well to make it even easier. When some people were struggling in class, she went back to some old material so we could all review it and get back on track. She did collect our hw on occasion, so make sure you have it done and with you!

doesnt use blackboard (which is a problem if you like to know what your grade is), lots of homework, expects you took every other math course at grossmoont already, and will give you a zero (no exceptions) if you turn anything (homework, classwork, etc.,) on lined paper... get ready to spend 5$ on graph paper because she accepts GRAPH PAPER ONLY

One of the most helpful teachers I've had. She genuinely cares about her students. I actually didn't end up finishing her class towards the end because of personal issues, but I retook the math assessment and got into Trig because of everything I remembered from her class. All the work she requires you to do is worth it if you want to advance.
