Just a stellar math teacher. Struggled a bit with the online format, but who can handle a bunch of groggy Zoom students during 8AM Calc II? She cares greatly for your learning and for the content itself, and she'll go through great pains to answer any questions you have--but you've gotta pay attention. The most (and only) fun you'll have at 8AM.

Cathy's MATH 191 course was amazing. She was always in a good mood and radiating positivity. 10/10 recommend - and I'm not one who likes math!

Dr. Whitlock is one of the sweetest people on the planet! She is so easy to talk to, and she makes sure that her students are well prepared for the tests. She's very thorough with her teaching and provides numerous examples on each topic. If need be, she is willing to push back due dates for students if we don't feel prepared enough for tests.

Professor Whitlock is probably my favorite math professor ever had. She was very clear and gave lots of examples in class and provided lots of practice materials. There is homework due every class which is expected of any math course. Practice and repetition is key. There are about 5 tests throughout the semester, be sure to study for them!

AMAZING Professor. Yes, there's lots of tests - it's Calculus. You get better by practicing. She is not a tough grader, she gives partial credit! Of course you need to show your work. If you go to class, do your hw, and get help you will get an A or B.

She is a fun person and okay teacher. She will take points off though on tests even if you get the answer right. This is extremely frustrating. She is very picky about showing your work. Quite a tough grader. Be prepared.

She was fantastic. I cannot math. at all. She made statistics super easy to comprehend and I ended up making a really good grade. If you miss a class you can just go to her office hours and she'll explain everything. You can also choose to do homework for credit or not do it. I highly recommend, but her lectures can get a little boring sometimes.

Fantastic professor. She's super passionate about math. Lectures are extremely organized and palatable for the content being so difficult. Lots of helpful non-mandatory homework. Lots of in class examples primarily from the textbook, so it is important to attend class regularly. Great for those not-so-math-inclined students!

I'd give her a solid 4.5 only docking because every once and a while, a test/quiz question is a little out of left field for what youve been studying. Very acceptabl and there are no stupid questions with her. Always willing to help those who ask for it (that means you have to ask) and couldnt be more clear on what is expected. Extra credit chance

She is literally one one of the nicest professors I've ever had. I absolutely loved her for Calc 2 and I hope I can take another class with her. She is always willing to take a moment to explain things clearly if someone doesn't understand the material.

I love her. She is savage. EX/ Student: "I was destined to be right." Cathy: "No you weren't." Homework is optional. Do suggest doing it though, it is helpful. She works with you if you are stressed, have work, or are confused.

For the 178 Honey Bees and Humans she let our tests be open note. I have not taken a math class with her yet but will next semester. I loved her so much that I wanted to have a class with her again.

She is an awesome person and a great lecturer! Her class and quizzes are really straightforward, but the exams are incredibly difficult! No curve either. If math isn't your strong suit, you better spend hours studying and looking at the practice test because the exams are HARD!

Whitlock is an amazing professor. I had her over the summer and she was very helpful and made everything easy. This is a lot for me considering I am not great at math at all but I took the course as a part of the liberal arts core requirement.

Bless Cathy Whitlock. I declared a math major because I wanted to take my classes with her. She's fun and engaging and so kind. She remembers all of her students. I took calc 3 with her over the summer and I actually looked forward to going to class. I have taken stat185/calc1/calc3 with her so far.
