Comment:
This is my last semester of college and she is, by far, the worst professor I've had. Her lectures cover about 20% of the material you actually need to know for tests... the rest you have to read directly from the book. If you give a solution that isn't taught by the book/herself, she won't take it.

She will notice you about the up coming test, but never provides any kind of review material. The recitation materials are only lecture notes and assignments. For the lecture, I barely understand what she lecturing, and seems like she just read of the textbook and redo the example question which written on the book.

Comment:
She will assign pages in the book to read but does not lecture at all. I am someone who has to learn hands on or visually. The way she has this class structured makes it pretty much impossible for someone with my learning style to pass. The lab doesn't even offer tutoring for MA 260 so I have been on my own.

She does not teach, instead gives links to free Khan Academy videos. The tests are very hard, and these videos will not prepare you for them. You will need extra resources such as a friend who has taken the class to help you.

Comment:
I took this class during COVID. We were sent links to the text book, and to khan academy then had to take test that were extremely difficult. She was very nice about rearranging due times so that I could still work at my job though. If you can tech yourself then youll do fine, but if you cant I would not recommend.

I took this class during the pandemic which caused it to be moved online but still treated the class as an in person class but without the lectures, she made us refer to khan academy and the book to substitute the lectures. I had to teach myself most of the time and test were very difficult and different from the practice test. DO NOT TAKE HER!

I took this class during the COVID-19 pandemic when everything was moved online. She gives no lectures and instead refers you to free khan academy videos to learn the material. The tests are very difficult despite the only study guide being past tests with no answer keys. Im amazed that she is still employed despite not teaching her classes.

WORST TEACHER EVER! Due to covid-19 and all classes moved online, I choose to take her class and she does not post Lecture Videos to help the students, instead this is a self taught class and she expects you to read the textbooks and do online homework and has other written assignments for you. Tough class because she does not care for her students

I felt like the lectures were not helpful when it came to doing the homework. Textbook is crucial and where you will learn the most. There are occasional pop quizzes. Tests come with study guides but are difficult. Would rather have taken this class with a different professor, not enough specific problems in class. Couldn't explain clearly.

Comment:
Not a good professor AT ALL. Teaching methods seemed to consist of writing stuff down from the book- focused more on applicational formulas and the theory behind it instead of how to work problems. Tested on actual problems. Tough grader, made my first F in the class after 5 years of engineering school. Would NOT recommend.

You might as well skip every class and learn it on your own time, because you won't learn one thing in class. Very boring and I found my self doing the work on my own. The only way to stay awake in class is to play around on your phone. LOL

Spare yourself. I took calculus in highschool and still struggle in this class. She takes off soooo many points for simple mistakes on tests. Every single class is a lecture. Hard to pay attention to.

Has a problem when teaching things to talk about the theorectical implications of what you just learned before talking about how to use it. Mostly taught myself the material. Not a fantastic teacher but she did do me a solid and let me make up a test even though I didn't have a doctor's note.

Very long and boring lectures that make no sense. Only somewhat survived by going to tutoring sessions. I showed the tutors my work and they told me she teaches the material in the most complicated round about way possible. Also get ready to learn by this one sentence "Here we have this and then we do this to um hey get this!"

Awful horrible. Gives problems on tests based on material she hasn't even taught. Voice is dull and boring and she's terrible at explaining things and answering questions. Every lecture is composed of her mumbling along and writing on a board not visible to half of the class. Cannot speak with inflection to save her life.

She is nice most of the time, but her class is very hard. Her lectures are very vague and hard to follow. If you have to take her get some extra tutoring help.

Do yourself a favor and never take this professor. I came into her class with no previous background. I have never studied so hard for a math class before and I am an Engineering student. I can confirm what the others have said. If you do not have previous experience in the subject, you will most likely fail it. Like me.

If you're good at learning on your own, then you should be fine in this class. For the rest of us, her lectures are straight from the text book and she answers questions in class vaguely. Her main method of teaching is assigning loads of ungraded homework and telling you to go get help from the homework lab, aka getting other students to teach you.

Comment:
Brutally vague lecture style, much more focused on proofs of theorems than applications. Constantly makes mistakes in review of homework. Seems to have a kind nature, though, so using office hours could help. Buying solutions manual made the course easily navigable, and I ignored lecture after the first few meetings. Curved to an A though.

Makes the class arbitrarily more difficult than it should be. Writes notes in cursive, constantly gets stuff wrong. Assigns long and confusing homework.
