Reviews of professor Catherine Yslas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Encourages questions but is rude when questions are asked. Doesn't understand how to use gradescope yet half of the classes assignments are done on gradescope. Very bland voice and has judgmental looks if you openly answer a question incorrectly.

Prof. Yslas gave very unclear grading criteria for homework and treated students with very low respect. Despite being a college-level course, I was treated like a kindergartener and hated the class. The only good thing I can say about her is that she was very accessible outside of class and willing to help during office hours.

There were constant written homework assignments weekly. She never cared that students had failing grades in her class. Instead of evaluating her own teaching, she would tell students to "do better next time." She would drag the class longer than the ending time. She was not understanding of students. She made students feel like they were children

WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was being crazy. She treats the students like kindergartners. She makes us switch seats EVERY SINGLE class which creates unnecessary stress. Gradescope is not an intuitive platform to use and the homework material is NOT taught in class. She doesn't speak clearly and is not a good teacher.

Swapped for a different professor. ALEKS is a decent program in theory, though the way it is used in this class is counterproductive. Homework is graded far too critically. The first homework assignment I was given points off for seemingly inconsequential things. Class feels very passive and I feel like more of a copier than a student.

she is an awful teacher. for math112 she assigns an excessive amount of homework and grades very tough. I have spent hours on assignments just to get a 60. her written homework have no correlation to the work being done in class. she moves through it so quickly and is hard to follow. her notes are all over the place and hard to keep track of.

The class is review if you are coming from Pre Calc in high school. Other reviews don't lie, homework is rough and there is lots of it. Aleks is used here. Written homework isn't absolutely terrible unlike other reviews make it out to be. At the very least, there are office hours. Main takeaway is that it's more busy work than actual learning.

If you want to be treated like a middle schooler this is the class for you. She makes the homework much harder for the exams and when you ask her a question she is so rude. Luckily her TA's are amazing and they are really the only reason why anyone is passing this class. Overall I had a horrible experience and was stressed out the whole time
