Reviews of professor Rachel Vale

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Vale puts a lot of work into her lectures. She not only explains things clearly, she anticipates pitfalls you may run into down the road and prepares you for them in advance. The subject matter was difficult, and I didn't perform as well as I would have liked, but that was down to my attendance. She's a very kind test-grader which is lovely!

I've taken the same class twice with Dr. Vale. She is a very sweet and educated lady. Her Linear Algebra lectures are filled to the brim with information so it's best if you show up and be there. She is very willing to work with you outside of class and provides a lot of support. I got an injury midway through the term and she helped me out.

Honestly this class was a ton of work. Made worse because I hate math, but still. I will say she was very organized and clear about what needed to be done though.

My favorite math class of all time. If you have test anxiety, Professor Vale will prepare you for any problems you may encounter on the actual test. quizzes can be retaken, assignments will be turned in once you are satisfied with your grade, and walkthroughs will be available. If you use the resources, you will have no problem passing this class!

Very difficult math class this is a new instructor at PSU so there are a lot of things that need to be worked out to make the course better.

Professor Vale is truly one of the best professors I've ever had. She cares about her students and will go above and beyond to help you personally be successful in her classes. Her lectures and homework assignments are clear and relevant to the tests. The material isn't necessarily easy, but she works hard to make it accessible to all students.
