Reviews of professor Alyson Bittner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is a very difficult class, but Bittner does a good job of trying to make the material make sense. Unlike other professors, she has graded homework, graded worksheets in recitation, and a non-cumulative final. This is great because it puts less emphasis on the tests (although I wish there were more tests on less material). Use office hours.

SHe gives a lot of homework and its online. Also, she doesn't allow calculators on her tests.

She is like the 4th best professor available for calc 1. Gives a lot of extra credit questions on the tests. Class attendance is not graded. Only recitation is graded. Her tests are similar to the problems in the textbook (calculus by stewart). Homework can be a bit too much sometimes and is graded.

Intelligent person, terrible professor. Can't explain material in a way that students can grasp it. No curve at all. No calculators on tests. Most tests run "longer than she had hoped" because she makes them way too complicated. No review sheets. Two saving graces: attendance isn't mandatory and online homework is easy and free. But don't take her.
