Reviews of professor Suzanne Palermo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Grades tough and has very little enthusiasm and tolerance. If you do take her, do the suggested homework problems. She doesn't assign much homework but she will expect you to be able to handle problems a lot better than from the experience you get from doing the homework she provides.

You shall not pass. Fly, you fools! Seriously, there are only two ways to pass this class, either to be a born math genius or do reassessment quizzes which she says are optional, but in fact, you have little to no chance to pass without them. This is a 6-unit class, but with those quizzes, you will feel like you are doing at least 10 units.

Professor Palermo is great. I took her with my brother for Trig102+ during the winter semester. She's an amazing professor and I think her teaching skills are second to none. The class is difficult in 5 weeks especially if the material is new. She deserves better ratings. Accessible out of class. Always responds to emails. Clear cut lectures. Do it

As much as I loved Professor Palmero's teaching and class, the grading system was far too difficult. You can get 100s on her exams but can still fail the course. If you're good with notation and double-checking for any mistakes, she's an amazing teacher. There are no points in this class only mastery in tests. Homework isn't counted. Good luck!

Professor Palermo is the most understanding teacher. Her lectures are so clear and makes sure that no one falls behind. We have one quiz every week on objectives and they are about 5 questions long. You have the best opportunities to make up your grade. Math of course requires homework. It is bearable and couldn't ask for a better teacher.
