Reviews of professor Colleen Ackermann

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She's a nice professor. But I'm not going to pay over $500 dollars for a class to have other students "teach" me. She explains for 15 mins off a powerpoint and the rest of the class is group work. she does not go over the group work and only posts the answers on blackboard. plus gives a quiz every week. Calc is a hard subject.I had to drop it.

Professor Ackerman is a sweet professor who is genuinely kind. Her lectures are based on power points which she reads off of in class. Although she is a nice professor, sometimes can have a hard time clearly explaining work. Group work is nice, but her class revolves too much around it and lacks explanation from her. Calculus is a hard subject.

I dont really know why her rating is so high. But let me just tell you that if if math is not your thing dont take her. Her class is based on PowerPoints and group work basically the entire class. She rather tell the students to drop the class if theyre not doing well than to actually help the student. Shes also a very tough grader.

She is a solid professor for this course, very helpful and had an assistant to also help her. So if you had any type of question they would step by step break it down for you. Everything is online & lab just do the work and keep up with it online and you are guaranteed to pass the class.

I am sure that the people that have complained about her are those lame students that blame their professors for their own laziness or lack of ability just to make themselves feel better. Dr. Ackermann is an AMAZING professor. Calc II felt like a walk in the park with her. I wish she taught Calc III and Diff Eq. Take her if you want to learn.

THIS IS THE WORST MATH PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T TAKE HER CLASS. SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HER STUDENTS. YOU WILL BASICALLY TEACH YOUR SELF THE SUBJECT! SHE WILL DEDUCT POINTS FROM TESTS/QUIZZES EVEN IF IT'S A SMALL MISTAKE! JUST TAKE SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!! IF I COULD RATE HER WITH A ZERO, I WOULD!

She's an excellent professor who cares about her students. She outlines the material in a very clear & concise way, while also making sure to answer any questions. She gives two-week extensions on homework. My only complaint is that the tests skew towards the easier side so you might not have a full understanding. One of my favorite professors!

Usually, I bomb math classes, the simplest things go over my head. Prof. Ackermann really gets into detail and you can tell she cares if you understand the material. Her office hours are great and she's super nice. I really understood the whole class and it was easy for me to keep up.
