Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HER! Horrible professor. Unclear, off topic, never turns around to see if hands are raised, and never adequately answers the few question you get to ask. Also assumes you understand the material and moves very fast! Avoid at all costs! I CANT WARN YOU ENOUGH! SHE IS HORRIFIC!

Comment:
This professor needs to go. I have taken her two times to give her a second chance. BIG MISTAKE. All she cares about is Essentials of Calc. Always off topic. Tests are BS. My high school math teachers were better. Always uses transparancies that she forgets to move down more often than not. Moves at lightning speed. Quiz EVERYDAY. Save yourself.

People need to lay off Riley. She is so nice. She is not a horrible professor at all. She gives you ample time to complete your work and gives you candy on test days. Also, she tries to be as clear as possible. She is also willing to help you if you seek it. Goes off on random tangents but it beats hearing a lecture all class period. Take her!

Comment:
This teacher needs to retire. Her tests are complete BS and she will deduct points from random things. Never try to argue with her because it's a lost cause. I think high school teachers teach better than she does, do not take her if you have a choice. Although the test aren't hard, her grading will kill you if you dont' show enough work.

Comment:
This lady is a joke. She makes the material harder than it is, and her tests are B.S. She deducts the 3 lowest quiz grades and 5 lowest daily prob grades, so it helps a bit. Shes always off topic, and never fully answers questions right. She is wayyyyy too in love with calculus.

Comment:
I had her for College Algebra. She is extremely unclear, her attitude is unprofessional, and she is always unprepared. Sitting in class, I felt that I was being taught algebra by someone off the street. She is the worst teacher I've ever had, even before college.

DO NOT take college algebra if you have a choice. All she talks about are her upper math courses that she teaches. Terrible teacher. I used to love math, she made me hate it. She has a bunch of quizzes and tests but none of them are easy because she doesn't know how to teach!!

I like this Prof. She explains the work and makes sure you understand it. You hand in a random homework problem most classes, so attendance is required, but its not bad. She is very friendly and you can talk to her about anything

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF! Rushes through all the material, never turns arouund to see if hands are raised, not helpful, and never fully answers the few questions we are able to ask. Assumed you know what she is talking about, if you did you wouldn't be in the class. Horrible Prof!

Do Not take this professor she does not do a good job on explaining things she assumes you know the work already which is crap if i knew the work i wouldnt be in the class but she has yet to realize that. She is also harder on the class if she knows that peopel in the class are moving on to higher levels of math.....I hate this class(Coll. Alg.)

Had her for pre calc, I got a C because I cared so little about what she was saying... Talking about her cats and subscripts having to do with socks.. Nonsense!! I slept, and got a C, but it was better than listening to drivel.

This professor is kind... unfortunately, she's not good at presenting the material. I guess it's an easy-class: seems juvenile @times. She talks about random topics during class that don't even pertain to what she's teaching! A lot of homework.

Easy class beats the material into you. She gets off topic really easily however about things you really don't care about. I wouldn't mind if I actually cared about what she was saying.

This class is so easy. I am not good at math whatsoever and I did very good. You don't get through many chapters and she beats the topic into you. But she gives out lollipops for all of her tests.
