Cool ; goes fast in her lectures but helps you when you ask for it. She cares.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH MATH, TAKE HER CLASS! The math department at Pace is terrible, and she is the only professor who can teach lower-level math. Trust me, I've failed 104 before and have a hard time with math and she makes it easy and straightforward. She's very blunt sometimes and comes off as scary, but will help if you ask!

She is patient and nice. She does not want to fail us.

Tbh, I was so scared of her at first. She is very blunt and fast moving and I suck at math so I was intimidated. Dealing with the first couple days she ended up being one of my fav profs. She really cares deep down and understands when students struggle and really wants to see you succeed. Joking around is rare, but when it happens it's SO funny.

I don't recommend taking this prof if you struggle with math. She speeds through her lectures and covers a lot in one day so you can't miss a class or else you will fall behind. She is also very intimidating and harsh when answering questions.

She can be very intimidating but as long as you do your work and work hard she will respect you. The only time she can be scary is with students who try to undermine her or challenge her. She truly wants you to succeed and will answer any questions, although she does get frustrated when she has to answer a question more than once, so listen around!

Very intimidating but she is a knowledgeable and good professor. No funny business, come in, do your work, and study. Do not be afraid to ask questions even though she may not have a good attitude about it, she will explain it throughly.

I can definitely see how others perceive her has rude but if you get to know her this is sort of her teaching style. She likes to get straight to the point and does not deal with any funny business. Paying attention to her lectures is key and by doing so, you will definitely learn. You will obviously have to work for your grade so do some studying.

She explains things very well but goes super fast so you might miss it. I recommend extra tutoring & practice besides just doing the homework. Despite all this I really liked her class. She is knowledgeable in the subject and don't be afraid to ask for help. Speak up for yourself and be practical.

Do not recommend taking this class, I was very lucky I earned a C. She runs through lectures incredibly fast and when you ask a question to clarify, she gets upset/mad at you. The homework doesn't completely reflect what we have learned in class. If you end up taking her, I recommend going to the learning commons weekly for extra help/tutoring.
