Reviews of professor Alycia McNamara

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I recommend watching the posted videos before each class and it will make lecture make so much more sense. She also records her lectures. Doesn't allow makeups but drops the lowest assignments, so make sure to follow the schedule and do your work on time because it's easy points! Highly recommend her, she's one of the best math teachers I've had!

All I can say is that she is an actual goddess. she teaches in a manner anybody can understand, super chill person. will even give you extensions for your webassign homework if you ask her.

PRO: Lots of help in class with the professor, the TAs, and the LAs. Exams are easier than the homework, so if you can understand the homework (go the MSLC for help) you'll do fine on the tests.
CON: You need to buy the online access for this course but make sure you get it through the blackboard site because at the library is costs almost double.

She explains things really well. I never liked math or was good at it until her class. My last exam I got an A and I never got an A in math before! Take her if you can.

Super nice and caring. Could definitely tell she cared about the students. If you asked questions, she definitely tried her best to make time and answer them.

Professor McNamara is very fun. I loved her lectures. Very accessible after lectures, I used to go to her office hours daily, and it helped me a lot to keep up with the class material. This class is hard but if you go to her office hours, she will help you.

On the first day she said "all of you should I already know all of this so I won't be teaching it" and stated she doesn't belive in calculators or test retakes. Her lectures are her doing math problems with little explanations or deep dives. She leaves everything to the discussion teachers.

On the first say she made it clear that she would be teaching very little as we should have "learned most of this in high-school" she doesn't allow calculators. Doesn't do retakes. She's nice but she bearly teaches. Her lectures are her solving problems with little explanation. She leaves the explaining to the discussion sections.
