Comment:
If you have any options for other professors, pick them. Wish somebody would have told me that before I enrolled. Math is my favorite subject and I've never failed a class but I FAILED this class and i credit that a lot to her. Thanks Mrs. D won't be seeing you again next semester.

The class is very clear. 4 exams, 11 quizzes, and 1 final. Exams are each 100 points, each quiz is 10 points, and final exam is 300 points. Exam is graded heavily at almost 40% of your final grade so be sure to study!! Other than that each exam has problems straight from the homework. Even though the homework is no credit do it and you'll be fine.

Comment:
The worst calculus instructor I've ever had. She gives opportunity for extra credit, but her reviews are worth very little when it comes time for the exams. She grades her exams very hard, I didn't pass the class as a result of it. I studied, and did the reviews for each one. Stay aware from her!

Comment:
It is the worst Math Class I have EVER been apart of and the worst part is I didn't even get to decide on the teacher because they switched out the one I chose for her. I would not take her again EVER. She has slides with her work already done on them and then just writes down exactly what is up there. I wish she would be fired for the better.

It's pointless going to her lecture. I learned more from the HW than from her. HW is worth 40% of ur grade and she gives out extra credit. But she grades her test hard. Her test grading system sucks!

Homework is worth 40% in this class and there's tons of it. She gives a lot of extra credit, so take advantage of that. Study hard and you will do good. Honestly, she's not as bad as they make her to be.

Well this professor is pretty much useless. If the online homework hadn't had examples to follow, there is no way I would have passed this class. Only take this course if you are good at teaching yourself calculus.

Comment:
I thought that class was pretty damn easy, but she does "nerd out" during lecture and will get obsessed with solving a problem. She tends to skip steps and do a lot of math in her head but she will explain if you ask, but ONLY if you ask. Ask a lot of questions. Sit in the front of the class. Gives lots of extra credit. Don't miss class!

She was a tough teacher and went way to fast, but she is actually very helpful, if you talk to her, and she will go back over material if you ask. If you are not willing to ask questions then you will fail.

Comment:
She refuses to use a textbook because they are too expensive so she uses free online notes that are difficult to understand. She assigns problems that we work on the board and if we don't have them we get a zero, but her favorite students get passes(with no zeroes). She is useless in office hours and good luck getting an email response.

Comment:
If you like massive WebAssign assignments, this class is for you! The quantity of the homework pretty much negated its learning value. She doesn't care to go into much detail in lectures, and never thoroughly explains examples. it was a class where I taught myself much of the material and was glad to pass the final. Quite a few in my class failed.

Comment:
She actually shows up more often than not (except the very first day... real professional) and made the class easier, but only for her benefit, which means short multiple guess exams and all homework is WebAssign, with all the glitches that entails. Don't take her if you NEED to learn the material. Engineers: stay away

Although I have heard horror stories about her, professor Duncan was actually really easy, she makes the course easy not for the sake of the students but so it's less work for her.

She is very hard at first, but she makes things a lot easier later on. She has a very hard time explaining things. See, she is very knowledgeable, and she just assumes we get it the first time, and she is in her own world after that. not a lot of HW, hard to do well in that class. Study a lot!

Try to avoid this teacher she is absolutely no help at all. Her lectures are pointless and half the time she is rambling on about her life. We had a single group project to do all semester and that was it. She is very confusing and gives little direction. I did end up with a B but it was a very frustrating semester. Avoid Dr. Duncan!!

Do not take this teacher! You will learn nothing from her lectures. She expects you to learn from online videos and she goes through power point slides so fast, you won't know what just hit you. Lectures are useless. I learned more on youtube videos than her lectures. I barely passed teaching myself everything from youtube videos. Avoid, avoid, avo
