Reviews of professor Amanda Flowers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Favorite professor I've had so far at UMD. Exams are based on the quizzes and homework assignments, and she is very accesible outside of class. You recieve extra credit on the exams for going, you do need to turn in the homework on paper in class, and her lectures are very useful to go to. Wish she taught more math classes.

Amanda Flowers is one of the worst professors I have ever had. She is a god awful lecturer and she cannot explain anything in an organized matter. Don't bother going to her lecture because you won't learn a single thing. If you take her, I hope you have a good TA. Overall, an absolute trash professor.

Amanda was ready to help whenever students have questions. She tells you what to study before every quiz, which is just select problems from her class notes and homework. Sit in the front, as she talks quiet. Pay attention in class and do the homework, and you'll do great. Amanda encourages students to do homework at her office hours. Nice lady!

She is a great professor who explains the content very clearly. She is very passionate that her students do well and creates a comfortable environment to ask for help. She offers A LOT of extra credit (show up to class for it)! She is always positive and her homework is short. She makes the material easy to understand.

Great professor, makes expectations easy to understand. Quizzes and homework are great preparation for the exams, would highly recommend for diff eq. Class was very well put together and she is very accessible outside of class. Loves it when you come to her office hours and is a very happy to help!

The worst calc professor at UMD. She can't teach to save her life and her lectures are terribly unorganized. Good luck trying to read her illegible handwriting. Also, her example problems are incorrect due to her making so many mistakes. Most of the lecture is her trying to fix her mistakes, you will have to constantly correct her.

Lectures are content-heavy but very helpful. Every class period attended is 1/4 point extra credit. There's a lot of homework but the problems are the same as on a quiz or exam. She encourages going to office hours and is very helpful if you make the effort to go. Lab portion of the class is not necessary but not difficult.

I really liked Amanda. She is very caring, always willing to help if you ask, and she gives decent curves on every exam. She did spend more time on proofs than I would've liked during lecture, but she had her TAs do nothing but examples in discussion so I thought that more or less made up for it. She's a solid prof it's just a difficult class.
