She honestly knows well enough about the material but doesn't know how to deliver. She cares mainly about the smart students in class, expects everyone to have the same level of knowledge, and jumps from one topic to the other. I highly recommend not taking her class.

[Calc 1] I cannot stress this enough SHE DOES NOT TEACH. You WILL be teaching yourself. She expects the learning to be done btwn you, the textbook, and WA. Spends 1.5hrs rambling over 3 Qs, and grades like she wants us to fail. If you can't get into a dif. section with a dif. prof, just take it next semester. Dont waste tuition $ in her class.

Shes caring and probably a good person but an absolutely awful teacher. Shes very aloof and dosent know how to communicate with the non math naturals. She explains everything as if we are all going for a Phd in Mathmatical Theory. Shes a sweet person but please, stay away unless math comes easily for you.

Do not take Professor Etheridge. She does not know how to teach. During the entire semester, she did not give a single good lecture. I only went to class for attendance, and never gained anything from going. She never introduced topics, she just started working on an example problem. Classes were just working on example problems on your own. Run.

Clarify? What is that. Instructions? Why bother. Help? Not worth your time. This classworst experience of my life. Etheridge can't explain math to save her life, confuses the heck out of me, and never prepares students for exams. I literally had to figure everything out on the fly. Taking trig online is far easier than taking trig with Etheridge.

There are four exams (excluding final), each of which account for 15% of your total grade. Debra grades exams extremely harshly so it almost feels as if she wishes for you to do poorly in her class. She does not have enough of an understanding in the topics to teach them, often leaving students to do work on their own. AVOID AT ALL COST!

I think she is a little over-hated, but still, she wasn't amazing. You have to learn most things from the textbook. If you cannot learn from a textbook I would not take this class. She was caring and definitely tried to help me understand the material. She is also very strict about grading and taking off points.

She is a super sweet person but should not be a teacher She cares about her students and is there to help her students when she can She tends to get overexcited about the subject and it can be confusing to students who already struggle with math Grading is not clear and even if you put work down for a test question you may not get any credit
