She has videos of the lectures, and she offers example problems for all the homework. There is not any reason you will come up on a problem and not know how to do it. She gives such accurate study guides for the exams so if you study the study guide, you will get a good grade. I highly recommend taking her class, she is the absolute best teacher!

I can't believe she has such a low ranking here. She is great, and I loved her class (took online). She told me in the first week of class when I had a zoom meeting with her, "If you do the work, you will get an A" and this was true. The tests could have been much worse, and every question on them were ones we had done already in the HW/quizzes.

I understand that students may have concerns about their professors from time to time. However, it is important to express these concerns in a respectful and constructive manner. She was not helpful to provide specific examples of how the students could improve their work.

I took the math 126/26 course with her online and she makes it very easy to learn math, is also very helpful if you are struggling, and wants you to pass her class. There is a lot of homework and assignments but if you watch her lectures and follow the extra help videos she provides you'll be fine.

Pretty easy online class. Tests, quizzes, and homework were identical. Does provide videos on "hard" homework problems. But honestly, just practice the problems and reach out with any questions and the class is a breeze. She is willing to help, all you have to do is ask.

I signed up for this class after passing the introduction math class with an A. I I knew on day one that this course was different. The program through Cengage is absolutely not user friendly. When I reached out for help, I got a generic reply to see the announcements. Professor was unhelpful and did not offer the assistance I requested. 0/10.

Uses cenage for online and theres no help with understanding the math questions. Very upset I had to drop I am a 4.0 student

I wouldn't have survived learning through zoom without this professor. She is well organized when it comes to the materials, and on top of that, she makes her practice videos if any of us are struggling with specific problems. She goes above and beyond to help the students out, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about the student's success.

Towards the end it felt more like a high school class. Her power trip with attendance was insane. If you ever had your camera turned off or didnt have your mic on she would personally call you out. Her reading assignments were graded harshly and she had binder checks. The amount of time i spent on this class was insane. Dont take this class

Worst professor Ive ever had, I have never been this disrespected in my life. Ive had toddlers with better respect then her. I have a learning disability so math is already hard but she treated my like I was an idiot. you have to write down the entire question for the notebook checks and if you dont you get a zero.

She lecture's very heavy. Her teaching is unorganized. If you miss any assignment or do bad on a test you will fail the semester. I had to be tutored to pass the class. She did teach and help others during class time through zoom but it could be very hard. There was lots of notes but they can be helpful.

The material offered is super easy if you just read and watch the videos that she offers. I think her teaching is confusing so I don't bother to listen to her lectures. It's an easy class if you take notes while doing the hw and keep on top of the reading assignments she assigns. She takes attendance so show up. Good luck and stay on top!

Math 126, in-person. Upfront that you'll need to put in about 6 hours a week outside of class. Put in about 8-12 hrs. I did reading assignments before class. If you study and do test review over-and-over, you will make a 100% on tests. Turn in everything and attend class, you'll make A+ easy. Allowed extra credit for people who did bad on 1st test.
