Prof Ranz did a good job of explaining the concepts of Calculus 3 in a way that was concise and understandable. Taking Calc 3 in the summer session means there are 4 exams (70%) and a final (20%) that happen VERY frequently, so not falling behind is crucial. HW (10%) is posted daily, and she does allow for a notecard on exams. Take her class!

Dr. Ranz is an extremely kind and understanding professor who wants to see you succeed! The class is very theoretical lecture heavy without the opportunity to work through many practice problems outside of the homework (which is very challenging). But the exams are much easier than what is covered in class. It's a long but  informative class.

This class is not an ordinary hands-on TCC class. Dr Ranz uses most of the lecture to explain the definitions of math terms. The online homework (WebAssign) is a very frustrating website. It has a terrible interface using Flash and it cant work through tough questions with you like in MathLab Plus. You will not be given an equation sheet on exams.
