Comment:

Yes, she is eccentric but, if a poor math student can get an B+ in her class, anyone can, if you can look past the superficial. She is NOT a lit teacher so, there are some errors in spelling but, the coursepack easily outlines EVERYTHING you need to know-no guessing what's on tests, quizzes or exams.

Comment:

Prof. Durham is a good teacher, but everyone seems to be rating her on her social skills. She a bit "out there" and yes, she has a vision problem, but that doesn't effect her teaching ability. Her coursepack absolutely stinks. It is chock full of errors and looks like most of the pages have been xeroxed too many times (tests look the same).

Comment:

Terribly Disorganized, Spelling errors and wrong answers all throughout her coursepack. She teaches at a fast pace, but has a very hard time explaining even simple questions, she often makes mistakes when answering questions on the board. Avoid her if at all possible. Even with solid previous knowledge of the subject I had a hard time with her.

Comment:

Her course pack needs to be rewriten, so it is clear, no spelling errors, and readable. She has trouble relating to the students in her class, she doesn't like to be asked questions, she makes a lot of mistakes, and she has trouble seeing. The homework assigned in the book doesn't follow the information taught in class. Try another prof.

I had her for Math 108 am 110e. DO NOT TAKE HER! She is no help what so ever. She grades so unfairly and if you try to fix it she just gets pissy at you. Do what ever you can to take a different teacher. WORST PROF EVER!!

Shes a nice lady but WOW! She's sumthin else i'll tell you that much!

SH was by far the worst teacher I've ever had. I have a 3.4 and have never missed class and I had to withdraw from her class. She doesnt teach what so ever. She makes mistakes and stand in front of the board the whole time so you never see what shes writting. Just like everyone else said she answers her phone at least once during the week.

DO NOT TAKE HER! She is horrible. She doesn't teach you anything and her course pack is a joke. Nothing is spelled correctly and it makes no sense when trying to learn or go along with the book. She answers her phone in class and doesn't answer your questions. When she tries to answer your questions she just confuses everything. DO NOT TAKE HER!

The class was very easy, but I would have preferred to have taken it from someone else. This was a class for students learning to be teachers, but it felt like a class for elementary students whom she had little respect for, teaching as if we are all extremely slow learners. Easy A as long as you show up to all classes.

While the coursepack has lots of spelling errors, she still gets information across in a fairly understandable way. I did well in the class simply by going to class and studying my coursepack.

She's not horrible. She talks way too fast, answers her phone in class, but is overall not terrible. If you ask questions and follow along in the coursepack you'll do fine.

She is a good teacher but the classes were a bit hard. I went to every class. I never used the book, her notes and study guide were the best way to study. She is very approachable. I had her twice, (108 and 109) she really knows her math!

People need to lighten up. She was a great professor and as long as you are willing to actually TRY and work at it, you will do fine. She does go a little fast, I'm not gonna lie. Just ask questions in class and she will repeat herself. I would reccomend her unless you have another professor that you like. She's better than some I've taken before!

i think this class would be a waste of money in general. Yes it's true, Durham is from some other planet but she's a good/interesting person. She will help you too until you get it. She doesn't show any annoyance or hesistation.I regret spending money on this class but give her some love.

She is the worst professor I have ever had.She is HORRIBLE at explaining things.She has no people skills.If you have a problem with anything (homework, personal life, etc.)her solution to you is to drop the class.She is not helpful,or nice, she is confusing and a militant grader.People who aren't great at math should stay away from this professor.

Comment:

She is an absolutely horrible teacher. She doesn't explain herself well and don't bother asking her for help because she will make you feel stupid or go off on another topic. You have to be really good at math and already know what you are doing because she doesn't teach you. The only thing helpful is her SI sessions.
