Reviews of professor Khalilah Beal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If I could give this class a zero I would. I always had a positive experience at COA until I took this class. the group projects are TERRIBLE. directions were confusing and the rubrics never made any sense. whenever my group asked her a question, she would shrug it off and show the rubric. thank god i passed and wont have to take her class again.

I've taken Dr. Beal for two semesters now (Calc 1 & 2); and, if I had the chance to take her for Calc 3, I absolutely would. Her class is homework heavy, and midterms/finals are generally oral exams or projects. The projects are group-optional, meaning you can work solo if you like (that's what I do)! All in all, Dr. Beal is a solid choice.

The class was entirely online and she had a pre-made course she used while teaching at UC Berkley so expect to be doing UC type of work while in her class. She is also a bore to be around over zoom every attempt at a joke never lands and after taking this course I would have learned more eating my Ti-84 calculator than sitting in awful boring class

V. little class engagement. 
Free textbook needs corrections and copy editing. 
Syllabus not complete before commencement and updated throughout. 
Significant portion of the grade based on group project which is subjectively graded on non-stat elements. 
Some exam content not aligned with chapters.

Calculus for Business I get has less Calculus than other courses.  However, I dropped this course because Professor Beal-Uribe has not made this class learnable enough.  Homework assignments + video assignments are a lot of work to begin with, but video lectures and the textbook (while free in cost) were light in examples and explanations.
