Prof Mays was one of the best profs I've ever had. Her classes can get boring, she cracks jokes and keeps it interesting. At the end of each class there's a "quiz", but you do it with your table and only turn in one. Her tests are easy and she tells you exactly what to study. There is homework after each class and she does collects it. TAKE HER!!

Professor Mays made math very easy to understand, especially for someone that struggles! At the end of every class almost she gives "quizzes", but you can work on them with a group of people which helps your grade a lot. She is VERY specific about what will be on exams, including the final, which was SUPER helpful!! Highly recommend!

Professor Mays is an ok teacher, nothing too special but nothing too awful. Her lectures are super boring - but it's math so you can't really blame her for that. She is straight-forward and honest about what's going to be on the exam. She has an in class assignment at the end of the majority of classes, which makes attendance mandatory.

She is a GREAT professor, highly recommend to take her class. She explained the information really well and answers your questions. She gives out worksheets after every lecture to practice and then your table group has to turn one in for a grade. She cracks a couple of jokes once in a while so she kept us entertained. Highly recommend!!

She was a really good professor, and always took time to work through problems if a student had a question. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. She did assign quite a bit of homework, but it was always relatively easy, and always easy participation points.

She was a great teacher and went at a good pace. Her quizzes were basically group worksheets and she always gave you more than she counted, taking your highest scores.

Such a good professor. She explained things very well in class and was always willing to explain more if people were confused. The homework is all out of the book and nothing online which is nice. Homework could take some time but she usually took some problems out of the assignments.

Jane seemed nice and she was available to help in class but her style of teaching included really understanding the material beforehand. I am not good at math so this was a very difficult class for me so if you're not very good at math and need a little more explanation I would not recommend taking her class, if you understand math, you'll be fine

She is a great professor who makes it easy to succeed in a difficult subject. She shows you different ways to do things including how to do almost everything on your calculator and gives formulas on tests.

Mays is very quirky but its obvious she cares about her students and understands that not everyone is a math whiz. As long as you do the homework you should be set for the test. Attendance is judged based on group "quizzes" or worksheets done in class and she only counts the 1st 12. BUT, lecture is important to pass the class.

This class included a great deal of homework problems each week, that was very lightly explained in class. For the easiest math course available the professor needs to understand the students in her class are usually struggling in math and they need a more motivated professor to teach than normal. Which this professor was not. Homework and testing.

I loved Professor Mays for math 110. She really made the material as simplified and easy as possible to follow. She made sure that we could use our calculator and told us to solve the problems with it versus wasting time writing everything out. I would recommend her for any math class and she can be quite funny too. Easy A if you show up.

I am bad at math, and while I do believe I was at fault for my grade, this professor had an odd way of going about the content. She was lenient in giving homework points and quiz points, but was a very tough grader on tests. Most of the tests had problem that were not similar to homework problems which also bugged me. Average, but could be better.

At first impression I didn't think I was going to like Professor Mays. But lemme tell you. She is a VERY good teacher and cares about how you are doing. She goes over EXACTLY what is going to be on exams and quizzes are in groups. I would recommend her to anybody that struggles in math.

Professor Mays is AMAZING! Please take her! She cares so much for everyone and wants you to succeed. I was not a strong math-minded person coming into the class, but I left the class very confident! She explains what you need to know extensively and always is available to help. I would take her again in a heart beat.
