Comment:
I loved taking this class through the math lab. All the tutors were very nice and knowledgeable. They all helped me so much. If you had problems with them through tutoring or testing you must have been doing something wrong. If I had to take another math class, I would do it through the math lab!!

the classes is not supposed to be online. however, everything is online. also, you have a student teacher. you have to take the tests in the math lab where people do not know how to grade. answers I knew were correct the people counted wrong! do not take her!!

Comment:
I had her on Monday nights for 3 hours. I was bored to death and didn't understand a thing. She was rude and would never e-mail me back. I e-mailed her multiple times and she never got back to me. Math isn't my strong point, and she definitely didn't help me understand it.

Comment:
Dr. Lackey is an excellent teacher, and knows her material to a T that is probably a variable in some complicated equation. She is a good person, and easily one of the best math teachers that UTM has to offer, but her tests are very, very difficult. She is a very nice and understanding person, but I would only recommend her to math majors.

Comment:
Dr. Lackey is a very nice woman, but I had a terrible experience in her class. She had assigned an SI who was terrible. I learned NOTHING and ultimately had to drop the class due to the fact that I couldn't get my grades back up. I'm doing fine now. Lackey may be a good professor, but if you are assigned an SI, RUN!

Comment:
Best math professor in the world! Calculus is really difficult (especially the second part), but you couldn't find a more caring or helpful professor anywhere. And one that can teach brilliantly. If you want an easy A, you aren't going to get it, but she is hands down the best professor for calculus. Period.

Math 252 is the hardest math class UTM has to offer. Lackey is extremely good at her job. Also she is always willing to meet up with you and personally help you with the material. It is a hard class, but she will help you through it. She isn't a pushover, she wants you to learn the material.

Professor Lackey is not easy, but she is great at teaching Calc. She doesn't give out extra credit assignment, but there are other ways to earn them. I highly recommend her.

I had her for 251 and she wasn't that bad but I had already had cal 1 in high school. In 252 she gave us problems online and in book daily. Her test had things that were not suppose to be on there. There are tricks on her test that she doesn't tell you about. Assigns a paper for 252 and 251 in which she gave us the weekend before the final on mon

Comment:
I took her Statistics class at night. I absolutely hate math but if you do the online homework and come to class that really boots your grade. It's a self-paced class since it's at night so all our tests were given in the Math Lab. You have two weeks to take the test and if you take it early she gives you bonus points.

Professor Lackey is absolutely amazing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Her class is not easy (hey it's Calculus), but it is definitely easier than most. Also, her tests may take longer to do than the amount of time given for class, but she explains everything and is extremely helpful. I strongly recommend taking her.

Her tests are extremely hard and always have 'tricks' for identities. She gives 70 minute tests for a 50 min class. She curves the tests, but its still ridiculous. There is NO extra credit, online homework as well as book/class work is expected almost daily. She is very nice & willing to help, calculus just isnt easy. Shes probably the easiest prof

This is the hardest class I have taken. I took calc. in high school and still struggled with this class. Mrs. Lackey is very helpful if you will go to her. She will work with you. She gives examples, but her tests are very difficult. There are surprises on her tests that you don't expect. She does give extra credit for each test.

Comment:
Brenda Lackey was the teacher listed for the class but when I got into it a student teacher (Ty Elders) taught it. TY ELDERS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME, he explains calculus in 1 hour a week (Wed. nights) better than any other teacher could in a week. If you want an A+++ take calculus from Ty Elders!!!!!! I never even met Mrs. Lackey, Ty is AWESOME!!!!!!
