Reviews of professor Andrea Rivera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Fun class, very little math involved aside from the 1st module. Lots of group work, be prepared to collaborate. Frequent presentations, but are low stress if you follow the guidelines. Final is a (math) lesson plan of your choice in a group, so make sure you pick a good group. Interesting content and great instructor, not your normal math class.

One of the best Math professors I have seen thus far

She's passionate about teaching, knows her material, and loves math. She will not only cover the subject of the class but, give you more knowledge in the field. Many of my friends don't like her because she is a difficult grader and gives a sufficient amount of homework (but my friends are lazy). If you want to learn, I advise you to enroll. ����

Take her class, I love her overall ambiance and also what a wonderful professor. She gives good feedback and very understanding when it comes to material. The class might be 50% for the quiz but, it is reasonable since the problems that she gives aren't that difficult and can be solved without calculator. I hope she teaches Calc 2 in EB.

Math 130 Amazing professor, minimal hw to learn concepts, provides all necessary ref material, lectures are important for understanding how each topic builds off preceding topics but not mandatory to attend. Expected to learn 11 learning concepts, given multiple chances for each 1 w/ short quizzes, no final if given "ready" score for each concept.

Does not assign a lot of homework and is willing to work with students if you miss class. Gives clear information on what will be on the test.

Professor Arauza is pretty meh. A lot of her lectures are text heavy and she focuses a lot on the theory of Pre-Cal concepts. She goes over a few examples but sometimes she makes the explanation sound weird. Not that much homework, worksheets make up a good portion of the grade. Two midterms and one final. Mostly a mixed bag but it could be worse.

id say she's better at her office hours than in lecture. but she does care about students and wants the best. her teaching style isn't the best but its ok A LOT OF WORKSHEETS AND ONLINE HW .stuyguides are not helpful and she doesn't like telling u hints about what's on test. Id recommend JUST WHEN U DONT GET IT GO TO OFFICE HOUR. SHES BETTER THERE

The professor herself was alright. I had her for MATH 130. It was her teaching style and grade percentages I didn't like. She mostly lectured during classes which was boring to me and not helpful. For the grade percentage, the quizzes were 50% of your grade. So if you got a low score, good luck trying to get your grade back up.
