Reviews of professor Crystal Bourne

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She has the hardest grading system I have ever seen, she doesnt help. If you dont do everything her exact way she will take point off. You have 4 test , 100 assignments but she only uses 50 points for assignments and 400 for test. Makes no sense, she doesnt offer any more help. Doesnt respond fast. And is rude when students ask questions .

She told me I couldn't use L'Hopitals rule because it wasn't specifically covered in class. Who does that? Other than that just do the work and ask questions and you'll be fine. She does genuinely care and stays after lectures to answer questions which is more than can be said about other profs.

She's definitely a good teacher as well as a great person. The tests are difficult even with preparation. In 3 semesters at RCBC, this was the only class I could not achieve an A in. I do not have a final grade yet but will most likely finish with a B+.

I took Calc 1-3 with her. She does a great job teaching the material and makes it as simple as it can be. Never had any problems of going too fast over the material and if the class didn't understand something she'd take her time to help us. Online homework was mandatory, textbook homework you ought to do because it will prepare you for her tests.

Does not respond to emails and is a very tough grader. Lectures are well organized but each section has 2 sets of homework and does not review. Assigned a test over the weekend and does not give much notice before tests. Take another professor if you don't like doing a lot of work.

Being a math major, I can honestly say that professor Bourne was not the best calculus teacher. Although her lecturing was satisfactory and her grading was overall fair, she failed at electronically communicating with her students. Because the class had to transition online, she failed consider every students' learning style when it comes to tests.

Absolutely terrible she is the head of the math board at RCBC so there is no way to get into contact with anyone above her. Doesn't grade for correctness she grades for whether or not you do the work her way aka if you don't watch and copy hear 2 to 4 hours worth of lectures each week your gonna fail. Don't take if you want to comprehend and pass.

She is a great professor, and will do everything that she can to help you succeed, Math Lab (tutoring) is important, as are her office hours.
