Comment:
Professor Divis not only tries to take care of everyone's need based on his/her knowledge, but also makes her class understandable for us. Her class is moderately hard so it won't be a disaster for first-year students. She is caring and inspirational, and I wish to have her class next semester.

I'm literally on the verge of dropping an album called 'Hot Zita' just because of how this Ukrainian god has inspired me.

Honors calculus was extremely difficult with her and finding help for this class was near impossible. Her class was not at all enjoyable. Switch out unless you love doing calc problems for hours on end.

She is very hard to understand. Just reads the text and doesn't really teach. And lectured me once on how smoking is bad, I'm an adult I can if I want to

Comment:
Although her class can be difficult at times, and she expects a lot of her students, I really learned a lot from her class. She is a great person and genuinely cares about all of her students and wants them to succeed, and she is very helpful at office hours. Although I had already taken calculus in high school, I still learned a lot in her class.

Wonderful teacher. Those claiming she is rude/condescending are completely wrong. Explains concepts very well. She does expect you to already have experience with calculus, but you have to have taken the AP Calculus test to even take this class, so it should not be a problem. Expect a challenge, but also expect to learn.

You can tell professor Divis is an experienced teacher. She has a good combination of proofs/theory and practical "how to" calculus. Only annoying aspect is that she pronounces student names as they would be in their original language (German, Polish, etc).

This teacher can be hard to understand, but overall she's just teaching as fast as the program goes. If you dont want a challenge dont take this class. Can learn most things out of the book, but she will answer questions in class. Pretty boring, and shes not american (harder to understand) but she at least knows calculus..

Very difficult class. She seems to move at such a rapid pace that most people can't keep up. Also, she seems to assume people know the material already, and doesn't really explain things all that well. If you haven't covered the material in high school, then she just kind of moves on and doesn't really help out...

I believe she has to teach grad students not undergrads. I hardly understand her. She was helpless even most of the students didn't attend her class,we mostly depended on our TA who was really good. My advise is not taking her class.

Dr. Divis = real teacher. We directly engaged material in her class. What was unique about her teaching also: she conferenced with students one-on-one, approachable, willing to help, and (unlike the dept advisors and most math faculty) actually gave a sh#t about what we hoped to do after grad, even though we weren't honors students.

She can be intimidating, because she is so much smarter than the students she is teaching. Her accent at times makes it difficult to understand what she is saying. She is very helpfull and interested in students doing well. Offers outside of class review sessions, and proctors small study groups

Did not explain anything, was condescending and rude. Did not TEACH at all, just repeated theorems from the book and made us feel stupid.
