Reviews of professor Roxana-Irina Popescu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She was very nice but a little hard to follow during the lecture. She is really caring and will help you outside of class. Very fair grader and is always giving extra credit opportunities.

TAKE POPESCU!

She is an awesome person and teaches Calculus in a way that makes it all make sense. 
All her examples in class are identical to what is given for homework. 
She also holds office hours on Zoom before exams. 
If you're looking to build a strong foundation in Calculus, she will help you get there. 
Nothing but love for this woman.

She is a good teacher in class, but many of her tests are not similar to the content that is covered in class.  The midterm questions felt like the difficulty was so much more than what we actually did.  One good thing is that there is extra credit but it's only a few points.

If you go to lecture you will understand the topics, and if you don't office hours are very helpful. She is very sweet and tries to get to know you if you put effort in. there is a quiz basically every week, but they are not difficult. Overall, if you are a visual learner and learn math better with various examples, Roxana is a great choice.

I really enjoyed her class and felt like I learned a lot about calculus. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, I would not recommend skipping her lectures. All examples made sense in class, however they did not match the level of difficulty of the exams. So I would recommend doing extra practice problems from the book as well.

Loved this class. One of the easiest math teachers I've had. She is really nice and gives examples identical to the homework problems. Gives many practice problems that make her tests manageable. Gives good amount of extra credit for the tests. Would definitely recommend!

Never took calculus in high school and was still able to keep up. Roxana is very sweet, welcomes questions, and goes at a reasonable pace in lectures. She does a lot of practice problems, most of which are nearly identical to the homework. She offers extra credit after both midterms and provides lots of partial credit on exams.

You can definitely pass the class with her but she was just okay. Lectures were mostly examples with little explanation of how the rules worked and the exams were harder and unreflective of the practice materials she posts. There are quizzes nearly every week and lots of hw but she does go over hw problems in class before it's  due which is good.

For 0413. Didn't seem to want to teach the class. Arrived late and simply wrote notes directly from the textbook onto the whiteboard every lecture; very dry. That being said, she is nice, homework is easy, and exams are graded generously. We were given the opportunity to earn 10 (essentially free) possible bonus points after the first exam.
