Reviews of professor Linda Ternes

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dropped out from how boring it was. This class is very lecture heavy and she goes through them way too fast. Her spot checks are also difficult and graded harshly. If you don't understand the material by the end of the lecture then you will fail spot checks. Also an unnecessary amount of tests during the semester. She has too many computer troubles

Has surprise one question quiz's on what she just covered, which she can be a harsh grader on. However regarding Exams and homework she is pretty lenient. She is clear with her expectations in terms of the math. She does not mind giving a quick refresher over algebra/trig steps, which is great.This is not a free grade, take her if you want to learn

A280 | This teacher might be the worst teacher I have ever had, with no hyperbole. Ms. Ternes does not have the prerequisite knowledge of her own class and material nor does she have any teaching capabilities. Grades HW based on accuracy, average test scores are

awful awful awful. 2 exams and a final in the last month. speeds through end of course. she gives some helpful examples and notes but expects you to remember a lot. good luck if u decide to take her class, be prepared to never miss class and dread every last second of it.

Professor Ternes has a very skewed grading system, where if you miss one in-class assignment it is heavily weighted and does not care to teach rather than hand out a whole bunch of homework, which she grades the same way as tests(good luck with a 100 on the homework). If you want to get an A or learn or both, she is not the one. You will suffer!

Does not give homework solutions, but grades on correctness (harshly). has quasi pop-quizzes after every lesson that are heavily weighted (maybe better in person). Overall has below average to poor lectures. Do yourself a favor and take any other professor, you may survive here, but you will not gain the foundational calculus skills needed in calc2
