The absolute worst!!! No in person meetings, pre-recorded lectures (pretty sure recycled from old quarters). I had no motivation to care about this class. She doesn't care if her students learn. That is obvious. Asynchronous math sucks!!

Comment:
Shes not a bad professor but I felt that her test problems were a lot harder than the hw problems assigned. I think she takes the ones marked as difficult by the textbook and puts them on the exam, cause they are pretty difficult. Also, tests make or break your grade. Had to drop.

Pros: Super easy class. Light workload. Easy tests. Cons: Her attitude. Condescending and mean. If you actually do want help, she'll make you feel stupid and like you're wasting her time.

Best math class I have taken (math 30). She is available outside of class and she will actually explain and do the problems for you. I found this class to be very easy, and the tests and quizzes were very similar to the homework.

She's honestly the best math teacher for 30 and 31 at Santa Clara. She's the only one that doesn't jumble on her words and actually understands how student's think. She explains things well and if you show up to class and do the hw its an A.

Math 31 is hard, no matter what teacher you have. Out of all the Math 31 teachers, everyone knows her to be the best. She assigns homework due every class, but it honestly helps in the end when trying to study for the midterms. There isn't a final, just a third midterm, which is nice. Overall good teacher, & she cancels class a few times a quarter

Took her class for both MATH 30 and 31. Professor Long's lectures were very clear and she made sure to go back and help anyone who was struggling with earlier concepts. Her tests are practically the same as the study guide questions, as long as you study and understand them you will do well in her class.

She gives problems on tests that arent in her review. Only hints that there might be problems from sections earlier in the quarter so make sure you study, but isnt specific even when you ask her. Its as if she doesnt want to see her students do well. Dont take her.

Heard a professor say to another professor something about "the wrath of Mary Long." That pretty much sums things up.

Not encouraging. Don't think she wants students to do well. I was afraid to ask questionis because she's very condescending and not nice.

Comment:
She'll give you credit for doing the homework but if you're wrong she'll deduct points. The math department makes it so you can't retake a test, turn in late homework, and can't miss the final. So she follows those rules which can't hurt you. She is very helpful in class and tries to uplift the students which is good. Not the best or worst teacher

Comment:
Math 31 with Long was great. The tests are very similar to the hw problems. Hw is graded on accuracy and turned in on paper. Test heavy but so is every other MATH 31 class. She is very approachable if you don't understand a concept, you just have to see her during office hours.

Comment:
She's a nice person and her lectures are super easy to follow, but they are the most boring thing ever. I barely passed the class because I kept zoning out and could not force myself to focus. She's accessible outside of class but it's just so DULL. Lots of homework, but your grade is based pretty much on your tests only.

Mary is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. She made math simple and easy to understand for someone who has always struggled with the subject. She has a really effective teaching style which consists of doing practice worksheets in class so you are able to see what you know and ask questions. Quizzes and tests not bad. Overall a great lady

Makes Math 31 super easy. Added bonus: she cancels class alot-4 times this quarter already. I agree with what others said that you won't like how she talks to you and that you don't really learn much,but who cares? Hardly any homework,tests are just like homework, lets class out early alot, cancels class. Horrible prof but easy class.

Dr. Long is one of the best Math teachers. Although she has a sassy style, it is very refreshing in a Math class. She explains concepts with reason and logic. Instead of memorizing, she wants us to understand what we are learning. Also very willing to help in Office Hours overall a very vivacious teacher! Definitely recommend!

Comment:
If you are not good at math naturally you will have to do a lot of work for this class. Quizzes are half of your grade yet they are only 3-4 questions with little room for error. She asks you to study the material from 3-4 homework assignments but you don't know what to study or what will be on the quiz. Doesn't post grades on camino.
