Reviews of professor Kayla Lock

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She goes really fast in class, instead of teaching the material and what she is writing down, it's a race to finish notes by the end of class. Gives comments that could be received as rude to students when they answer in a way she wasn't looking for. In her class I heavily relied on youtube videos and alternate sources to learn the material.

Probably the best math class I have ever taken. She is accessible, always willing to help, and very approachable, no matter how stupid you think the question is. Encourages knowing the meaning of things and creating connections rather than blind memorization. This is coming from someone who usually loathes math classes.

She's kind and shows a passion for math. Only goes over 2 or 3 problems in class. You HAVE to talk to the people around you. Pre-calc is already a hard class, but there's not enough content covered in person. The math system used rages me and sometimes I cry. Class NEVER gets cancelled and expect to be there the whole time. Not my fav professor.

Amazing professor! She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She replies to emails quickly and if you are struggling on a problem, you can send her the problem and she will work one out for you to help you understand how to solve it better. Hands down, one of the best math classes I have taken!

MATH 265 CLASS. Professor Lock seems like a cool gal but in this online class you're literally teaching yourself everything. The "lectures" she gives you isn't even from her, they are prerecorded lectures from different professors. She also gives you drop box videos of another professor thats also prerecorded. Nothing was live. it was awful.

This is the first professor I have had who genuinely cares about her students. Most of the class is done through an online platform (ALEKS) but she makes all of the deadlines very clear and is great at communicating with her students. I had taken this class with a previous professor and did not pass but Kayla made this class so much better.

This class is challenging, but she makes it easier with thorough explanations. iMathAS is probably the worst software I've ever used, and the tests are also really tricky, so make sure to study.
