Reviews of professor Ursula Zavala

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ever lecture was a video of someone else teaching, reviews for the test were ok, but so many Instructor created question there was no way to look back and review examples of what you got wrong. Exam questions were different from review, and the test often had stuff that wasn't on the review. homework load was fine, just reviews were not helpful.

Had to take her for Trig, never again. Not really professional, records everything on her phone, and doesn't explain material in detail. If you aren't great at math DON'T choose her. The tests are pretty much what make up your grade, quizzes every week, exam 3 and the final are proctored. No extra credit either. The struggle was real.

Professor Zavala is so nice and helpful! She is willing to answer your question before, after class and during lectures. She is super organized always made sure we had everything we needed. You have to study if you want to get a good grade since there no extra credit to help you out. I will be taking her class again for calculus one.

I do not advise taking this professor. Does not give extra credit & quizzes every week. She wants work done her way or if not she will only give you partial credit.

While taking her class I got a B. I had a work trip come up and emailed her last minute and she extended a test for me. Her online content was in depth and easy to follow. If you focus on the content, homework, and study for the tests, you will pass her class.

Professor Zavala had a great setup to teach each unit using YouTube videos. If you like to be taught this way, her format will work for you. Mostly learn in My Math Lab but still a good course she even goes back to give back points on tests that My Math Lab doesn't give you.

I would avoid she is not very prepared she's constantly messing up in class and during the review.

quizzes every week, a total of 7 tests through out semester, and all while weekly homework was due every tuesday. making an a/b is possible if you are self disciplined this class is certainly not recommended for anyone who is not willing to put in the necessary work and study time.

If you are good at math and have taken the prerequisite math classes recently then you would probably be ok taking her class. She speeds through the lecture. I was struggling to write everything down fast enough while also trying to comprehend what she was writing down. She is available for help or assistance if you do need help with something.

Unnecessarily difficult. No extra credit given. Not flexible at all, not even with COVID.
