Reviews of professor Lynea Snyder

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I have dreaded every math course I have ever taken, but Lynea made calc 1 and 2 enjoyable. She is super encouraging, accessible to her students, and truly wants you to succeed. You can really tell how much enthusiasm she has for the subject and her everyday office hours are incredibly helpful. Definitely one of the best professors at ESF!

Good professor, but homework is extremely hard and long. Office hours are helpful, but are always packed and can be pretty loud. You might get stuck sitting outside of her office for them if you don't get there soon enough. Exams are hard, and be warned that she will show the grades on the board [no names though].  Not the worst.

If you like to learn math slowly, this professor is not for you! She teaches incredibly fast! The amount of homework you have in the class is insane. I feel like I never had enough time to study.  I'm not good at tests, so I ended up withdrawing because I didn't want my GPA to suffer. If you are a person that learns math slowly, stay away!

Don't take her if you struggle with math. Honestly she's kind of rude and lacks cultural competence. Office hours were helpful, but always packed. Doesn't really care about individual student's success and won't provide meaningful help. Written homeworks and labs really help your grade.

Snyder is the only professor or teacher to ever be able to teach me math. She is amazing. I took this class online, which I highly recommend, but it took so so much time. Multiple assignments a week, even when you have an exam or quiz. I got burnt out faster than any other class because it is just such a huge work load, but I passed!

Fantastic professor. Took an online calculus class with her and even wit the difficulties of online I felt like I learned a ton and was quite confident in her class. Created really amazing online lectures as well, can't recommend her enough

I just found her kind of unpleasant.

Bad professor if you struggle with math. She's really bad at providing additional support or resources if you need it. If you are good at math then she's fine. She's a harder grader than other professors and doesn't care about your grade. However, she's very organized which is nice. Also, she makes some distasteful comments at times.
