Reviews of professor Catherine Yslas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you took pre calc in high school, this class should not be too hard, The aleks assignments are not that difficult but the written homework is extremely hard. Office hours will help a lot for the homework. The tests are not that difficult but you have to do well since they are a significant portion of your grade. Really hard to get an A.

Get ready to be held 2-5 minutes after class ends because she will cram in one last problem and at that point people packed up and are struggling to get those notes down 

The homework is extremely difficult and has barley anything to do with what we learn in class. If you do not utilize office hours it will be difficult to get a good grade.

Not the best, lots of homework every week. She does work step by step in class, but doesn't go over assignments. You can't skip class or you will fall behind. You will probably have to go to office hours to get help once a week because some of the stuff she gives just doesn't make sense. She also treats you like you're back in high school.

Absolutely terrible professor. Uday and Jorge are great. I would highly recommend choosing a different professor if you would like to be treated like a college student. Along with this, she makes students do impractical group work for majority of class instead of teaching. Then, Yslas chooses to cram in questions while class has already ended.

I think a lot of students go into this class thinking it'll be like a high school math course. Truly it wasn't terrible but you have to put the work in and almost always go to her office hours for homework. She can be harsh on students but is usually helpful if she knows you put effort into the class (go to office hours, email her, etc.).

Professor isn't particularly bad or mean but her teaching style is more middle school than university level. If you found Algebra 2 easy then you probably won't have to study much, but the workload gets exhausting and it starts to get really tempting to skip every possible assignment. If you have to take 112, I wish you luck.

Math is hard enough at UA, if u actually want to fail and feel the need to pull your hair out every-time you receive a grade from this professor then take her class. The TA's are so unhelpful. The written homework are next to impossible to receive above a 65% on. The tests so hard. The professor is rude and does not care about you.

Overall, this class was pretty difficult. She assigns multiple homework assigns each week and moves pretty quickly in class. And no late work is accepted. However, it is possible to pass the class. Go to office hours, THINK TANK, form study groups, and get help from the TA. Def recommend using the study guides to study for midterms and final.

Yslas treats the class like we are in middle school and children.
