Easy exams and homework assignments. I hardly ever viewed the online lectures because they're long and boring and you can learn the material directly from the book. Easy A.

It was the easiest math ever, but she should not put so much material for 50 min class. She is helpful if you do the homework, ask questions in class and go to her office. Excesive amount of homework.

Comment:
HORRIBLE. She can come off a s a nice little old lady but she is NOT. SHE WAS VERY UNFAIR. She would give us these group assignments with like 15 minutes left in class and there would rarely be enough time to finish so she would make us meet with our group to finish them and slip them under her door by 12:30 THAT DAY. DEFINITELY DO NOT TAKE HER!

Comment:
This lady is rude. She writes question with incorrect grammar and confuses you and tells you you are wrong. Then if you don't do the problems her way you get major points off. I received 70s on quizzes for one simple error of not doing it her way. Do not take!!!

Comment:
This woman is full of it. Very condescending and not very helpful. Very clueless and not understanding of college students. She told our class we should be doing 6 hours of math homework a week...as if! She doesn't even check the homework. Also, she doesn't believe in extra credit. Expect to hear the word "alright" a lot (like Mr. Mackey's "mmkay")

She is useless. If you dont do the math her way, but get the right answer, you lose points.

Seriously, I fail to understand why this woman is teaching a college class. She speaks to students with the most disrespect I've ever heard from a "professor". She is condescending and just plain rude. To me, it doesn't matter what someone teaches, but how they teach it, and she does NOT deserve a job. Do not take.

Comment:
I love math especially calc and I'm really good at it too. Donlan is by far one of the worst math teachers I have ever had. God forbid you make a simple error- automatic half off the problem on a three question quiz- ****. Its not that I didnt understand the material she was teaching . Awful teacher DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Very sweet lady, but doesn't clarify. Homework isn't required. If you're good at math, its not hard. 3 quizzes and 3 tests and a bunch of partner assignments.

Never clarifies anything, as if she just reads from the textbook. Do not take it if you are bad at math.

Worst teacher I've ever had. I am pretty bad at math to begin with, but she was really boring and not helpful. Had to go to office hours all the time and study extremely hard. I wouldnt take this class with her, especially if you suck at math.

Comment:
ABSOLUTE TERRIBLE TEACHER. she assumes everyone knows everything about math, and refuses to explain ANYTHING. almost fell asleep every single class. if you are someone who needs to actually be taught math in an organized manner, DO NOT TAKE HER. WAIST OF YOUR TIME. EXTREMELY bad teacher. AVOID THIS CLASS. enough said.

She is very knowledgable about her subject. I've always been terrible at math and hated it, but this is the first math course I've actually done well in. The material isn't always easy, but she knows her stuff. And she is always there during her office hours to help--doing the hw and going to her for help are the two things that got me an A.

Comment:
Would not recommend this professor for calculus. It's a hard subject and she grades like none other. God help you if you miss a sign at some point, who care if you know the method. Final was ridiculous. She is helpful if you go to office hours though and show some effort in her class. I wouldn't say avoid her at all costs but if you can, do.

this was a pretty staright forward class. go to class most of the time or get a friend to give you notes and sign in. tests are easy, not tricky as long as you go to class and pay attention. never used the book. i knew most of the material from high school. she isnt the best at explaining but she gets the job done. good luck
