She was nice prof. Go to her office hours!! Just make sure you know your stuff and you'll do fine.

She is really nice and helpful during office hours but she will try to trip you up a bit on quizzes and tests.  The lecture is taught very well and she's very open for questions. If you need help go to TA or her office hours and you'll do fine.

This class is pretty awful but that's more because of the math department than the professors. Prof Coffelt has boring lectures with iClickers every class. She made countless passive aggressive remarks when someone walked in late or made a noise. There is group homework that you need to show up to do. Coursework is easy if you are decent at math.

Such a great professor. Definitely take her for 140. She broke everything down in what you needed to know and explained everything well during her class. Go to her office hours!!

Calculus itself is hard but I think she explained things as well as they can be so she's not bad at all, the subject is just hard. She is very serious and can seem intimidating if you only see her in lecture but as soon as I went office hours she's genuinely the sweetest and super helpful/patient.  MANY drop ...but because they cheat on the MPE.

Math can be daunting but you can tell that she really wants everyone to learn and enjoy the subject. I am glad I chose to take math with her!

This class is extremely difficult. Lessons are easy enough but the quizzes and exams are harder than anything she teaches. Go to office hours for help? Doesn't matter. She'll just say to look at your notes. The class average on exams is always failing and she doesn't curve. Got all A's on hw and group work, but exams tanked my grade.

For a difficult class, the subjects are broken down very well.  She's kind and helpful but a little curt if you disagree. Weekly groupworks/quizzes are great practice for exams - HW not so much. She grades based on your work and your answer, so sometimes the rubric seems a little subjective. The class itself is hard - it isn't her fault.

Highly recommend if you're intimidated by math. Doesn't go super fast, always willing to answer questions. She responds very fast to WebAssign questions even outside of class hours with detailed responses. Very strong lecturer and super sweet person. Posts lecture videos, exam reviews, and keys for quizzes/exams. Final replaces lowest exam score.

She has her own free textbook, so you don't have to buy it, and she posts videos and small quizzes going over the material so you can be prepared before class. 2-3 weekly HW assignments, 3 exams, group assignments every Thursday, clicker attendance every class, helpful during office hours, financial project, and final. It is an easy class.
