Comment:

ONLY easy if you can self teach yourself and if you come to every class to write everything she writes down. All of her tests are made up from the things she goes over in class. However, if you don't show up, like me, you MUST learn it online or elsewhere. Basically, just go to class you'll be fine. She's really slow and annoying however.

Comment:

Terrible. She does work on the board and rarely explains anything. You have to take notes and "reverse engineer" what she does to find out how it works. There isn't much material to know and she goes over it constantly, so the class is simple. But avoid her if you can find someone better, and don't take her for a class that's actually hard.

She doesn't teach well but it's not as hard as people make it all out to be. The tests are just all the classwork problems she gives only that she changes the numbers. I never had to open the textbook with her and got a good grade. For Math 110, I almost never showed up, took the dept final, got an A on it and she gave me an A.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. You can't understand a thing she says. If you ask questions, she gives you an attitude. She doesn't even introduce the topics properly, teaches as if you already know the material, yet never used the textbook. When topics were recognizable I realized that she starts w/ topics from the back of the book, which doesn't make sense

I usually don't like to make ill comments about people, but I have to say this professor was a nightmare. She doesn't explain what she's teaching, just does the work on the board and expects you to understand. Did not use the textbook at all! I was completely clueless some of the time as were other students in the class. Avoid if you can!

i took her summer course, you must be retarded to fail her class. I got an A and did zero of her homework's and ZERO mins of studying for the midterm and final except for like the 10 mins like right before she hands it out in class. However i did show up to the class everyday and i did take good notes in a very relaxed atmosphere. Very nice woman 2

I HATED HER CLASS! she would come 20 mins late, go voer 5 problems, give us a 20 min break, then we would do 6-7 more problems, then she would end class like 30mins early! Although the material is easy, I could not hear her at all, and did not understand her. she's a nice lady, but she really needs to retire.

I hate saying things like this, but she really should retire... She doesn't hear well and even when she does HEAR you, it seems like she can't understand and just answers something completely unrelated. The material is very easy, but you need to figure out what the heck she's talking about on your own. Avoid.

please stay away from this class if you care about your GPA, she is a sweet lady but can not teach for her life, half the time she just mumbles and she expects you to know how to solve the problems barely teaches anything, I'm pretty good in math but she managed to confuse the hell out of me, AVOID at all cost and find a better prof, worst at QC.

Comment:

It's an introductory course, so obviously it does not take much work to get an A. If you have ANY capability in math, you will be fine whether you attend or not. If you know you will need help though, you should find someone else. She doesn't hear well and can't help students because of it. 2 simple tests and a final, any work will get you an A

This rating is all you need. AS a professor, she doest teach, but if your good in math, print out all the past department finals, go to the tutors - let them explain you do the practice on your own, and its an A+. Do no work, but you know the stuff its an A+. don't do work - and don't know the stuff F+ IF you do everything on your ownthen VERY easy

Has no professional integrity, comes to class late, will not explain material and has no interest in teaching. Medical issues that prevent her from writing on board clearly.You are completely on your own! Desperation caused 85% class cheating w open books during exams and copying from classmates. Very sweet women, however.

She knows her stuff, but just doesn't know how to explain it well. I got a B+ in her class after trying to figure out everything on my own. All of her tests are basically taken from the review sheets. Take her if you're good at math and are willing to put in the time to study.

Comment:

Dropped her class like a hot potato after the first day. Her style of teaching is: Puts problems on the boar and says do them. Hello!!!Not all of us dream, eat, and sleep math. We're not all math geniuses but I guess that's what she expects. But don't get wrong, there are many people that like her. I just didn't see it that way.
