Reviews of professor Vanessa Bell-Despinos

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She was a nice person, but if math is not your things I would not recommend taking her. You have to buy the online textbook for homework quizzes tests and notes. It is flipped learning so you basically teach yourself at home and do practice problems in class. Looking over notes is required for a grade. Overall wouldn't take again & don't recommend.

Needed to purchase Pearson online for all homework, test, and quizzes. If you do NOT participate at all, she will NOT like you and will not be nice. GIves a week to complete work and you can skip ahead but will go over the lesson that is the most recent during class. Overall, wouldn't recommend :/

If math isn't your thing i'd suggest chosing a different professor

My comment was removed. Bad professor. Inattentive, Hard to reach, Unclear Guidelines for the class, Unorganized, Does not address important problems within the class. She CONSTANTLY makes mistakes, I understand it happens but its a regular thing. 50-minute course expect the first 15 to be nothing useful, she doesn't start instantly. Big problem.

She's a great person and very funny but doesn't always get what she's teaching correct so we have to correct her. She expects us to learn the material ourselves. If math isn't your thing, I personally wouldn't take her. But if you ask questions about something you're confused on, she tries her best to help you understand.

Attendance is mandatory daily for a grade, and you must purchase MyMathLab for everything. She has mandatory tutoring hours with her (5 hours) for a grade. Also uses flipped classrooms so you have to go to class yet learn everything on your own at home through videos, which you also must watch for a grade. If you do fine in math you'll be fine.

She knew how to teach really well and was very nice.
