Reviews of professor Susan Ficken

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Nearly 5 homework assignments every other day, and strictly graded them all. If even do a problem slightly different, you get marked down a lot. You cant do stuff that makes if easier for you. Tests were incredibly difficult especially since you cant use methods that make it easier.

Dr. Ficken is an excellent professor for those who are passionate about and/or good at math. She is a bit quirky but is clearly enamored with teaching and she offers a ridiculous amount of office hours and recommendations for outside help. I do agree that she gives out a stupid amount of homework, but it seems necessary to grasp everything well.

First semester I dropped this course when I had a different professor and I was failing half-way in. When I reapplied for this course second semester, I was nervous about failing but Dr. Ficken really is amazing at teaching and answers every question possible. She knows the course well and makes sure you understand everything. She truly helped.
