Comment:
This was my favorite class. Professor Siderow is so sweet and talks about her dogs all of the time. Homework is online but gives 5 chances to get right, 2 test and a Final. 4 Quizzes. She gets off topic sometimes but she is a great teacher and you will know everything you need to know for the final. Need Graphing Calculator to pass easily.

Before quiz days and exam days she goes over multiple problems so we can understand how to do the problems. Textbook is not required, she provides it to you as an ebook for FREE. A scientific calculator is definetly neededand she really does help you how to use it as well as letting you use it for exams therefore the tests are SUPER easy.

Awful. All she does is talk about her dogs. Cant lecture and pretty sure she doesn't even understand stats.

HORRIBLE CLASS she talks about her dogs way to much i did not learn anything about stats. she makes you buy a pack of her notes so she doesnt need to explain them in class. isnt very well at teaching she rushes through and expects everyone to understand her note packet without explaining the steps. she just reads exactly what is writen

5 quizzes overall and your lowest grade gets dropped. She didn't really have a lot to work with for this class, but she still pulled through. I learned a lot in her class. At times she likes to take a break and talk about her dogs.

Great teacher, mostly talks about her dogs a lot but she gets the job done. I would likely take her class again. She skims over the homework just to see if you did majority of the problems and gives you a full grade. Her tests and quizzes are simple and straightforward. Final was a little more difficult though.

Good professor, tried her hardest to make the class understandable for everyone despite the changes in the department thus affecting the class. The test were good since she gave study guides that were similar to the test. The lessons were good and Hw really wasn't that difficult, but you'll have some trouble once in a while. The final exam was okay

Spends the first 30 minutes complaining about departmental changes. Next 15, talking about her dogs. And the remainder, solving homework and "teaching". Blamed the professor who organized the syllabus for her inability to solve and teach the topics. 3 midterms and 1 final. The class doesn't prepare you for the final.

I had Siderow for Business Statistics and she was an excellent professor. She was very helpful in office hours and always happy to answer student's questions. I got a C- in the class but gave it my all, so the class isn't easy. Would definitely recommend her for this class, she saved my semester.

Literally the best Math teacher I've ever had and I've had more than a dozen. I hadn't a math class for over 2 years before I got into her calc class, but i learned more about math from her than all of my previous math teachers combined. Let us use cheat sheet for equations during the test. HW from txtbook, not online like other math profs.

She's a good teacher and her class was easy for the most part. You're allowed a note sheet for each test. There's homework literally every day but she goes over it the next day if you need help. Her final was pretty hard though. It's an easy A if you study. Don't be lazy and you should be fine. Her course pack is also super helpful.

She is a really good and helpful professor. The grade is 2 midterms and a final and homework because she drops the lowest midterm. I suck at math and this was definitely the best professor I have ever had.

One of the sweetest, most helpful professors you will find at CSUN. I am not that good in Math but she made me understand Calculus so well. Not only does she make what she's going to ask on the exams very clear, she also does a bunch of exams on the board until you understand it. She even drops your lowest test score. Tests are super easy.

She would let you use notes for each exams and is not a hard grader. She can go off topics, but she will get back to the point. You would have to catch up with her pace since it can be fast but she is also willing to stop for clarity. Take her!!
