Easiest class I've taken in my four years at GVSU. Plenty of extra credit opportunities, didn't even have to pay attention.

I dreaded showing up to this class. Though Stone is a very nice professor, her teaching style makes no sense. She made us write a ton of partner papers on math problems that didn't make any sense. She also graded extremely hard on everything. I recommend taking this class with a different prof, as there is way better ones out there for an easy A.

She wasnt the best teacher in class, but her office hours are crucial, shes much better in a 1:1 setting. The writings for 201 were a bit much, but she offered a ton of extra credit. She also assigns A TON of webworks, I spent at least 3-4 hours a week doing just those alone.

Don't take her. Not a nice person at all, always seems to have a stick up her rear end. Tests are difficult and she is a tough grader.

I have never(ever)failed a class and this is a first. For god sake's, we were doing calculus in Discrete, like why?? I bet I could teach the material better than her. The homework that is mandatory has nothing to do with the tests that are given. After midterms at least half of the class was failing. Do your self a favor and do not take here class!

Professor Stone seemed to almost check out from teaching halfway through the semester. She hands you worksheets on new concepts and will not give much information as to what to do. She is extremely vague when you ask for help. Good luck to anyone who gets stuck in this class.

There are only 3 tests and a final (this is where you get most of your points). She lectures only sometimes and she expects you to figure a lot of it out on your own. Be prepared to work hard and struggle at least a little (or for many people, be ready to struggle a lot)!

Comment:
Her teaching gets much worse as the semester progresses. She has seemed to almost stop teaching at this point and just gives out worksheets. Many times this has been on something not yet learned. When you ask a question about the worksheet, you will normally get an open ended response of little to no help. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:
She gives you WRITING ASSIGNMENTS for a math class. Yes they have math associated, but if the math is wrong, then the entire paper is either given a 1 of a 0 out of 10. Which why even submit a WRITING assignment if it will be graded like that. Also, she doesn't teach. She gives HW and makes you ask questions over it instead of really teaching.

Professor Stone does not teach very well and she avoids answering questions that you ask her. But, the material is pretty easy if you have the ability to teach everything to yourself. She also gives lots of opportunities for extra credit and her tests are exactly what you would expect.

She doesnt initially teach the material very well, but if you ask questions she does a good job of explaining things in a different way. I can understand why people dont like her. If you value understanding the material and put in a little effort, youll do just fine in this class.

The class should be easy. However, when you are a sophomore and have not had a math class since the middle of highschool recalling older concepts is difficult. Amy is one of the most difficult prof on earth. She does not teach what will be on the exams. And shows you the most basic concept then expects you to know the rest. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!

This professor will cover one topic, then skip two chapters ahead right after a short explanation. Don't stress about good note taking because you literally won't be able to organize it. She uses DESMOS for class work AND to complete webworks but doesn't allow it on tests? Do not take this professor if you struggle with math, it makes it harder.

The work we do in class does not make any sense with our homework. We do work online which makes no sense since this is a math coarse. When we ask for help she is very unhelpful and does not explain anything.

FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!! The most frustrating class I've had during college. This professor is extremely rude and dismissive when students ask questions. Students are so afraid to ask her questions, they ask their neighbor to do it for them. She teaches very heavily on using a website called Desmos, but doesn't allow this during testing.

I used to love math but this class made me hate it. The professor is awful at explaining/helping when you need it. The notes are hard to follow and she goes through them quick with little explanation. The only thing that saved me in this class was the free tutoring at the math center! Take advantage of it!!

She lectured in ways to help you understand the concepts she was covering. She was fairly concise and straight forward in her speaking and could adequately convey knowledge. She offers many extra credit opportunities, but there are quite a few exams. You also do "Professional Writing" on concepts in class, which is a bit over the top for Calc 1.

I'm not even done with the semester, but this is the hardest class I have ever taken. I have found that she teaches things in class, but the online homework rarely coorispondes well with the taught material. She does offer to go over any problems at the beginning of class but it's very difficult to do on your own. I failed the 1st test.
