Reviews of professor Rachel Polakoski

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you are a full-time student, do not take her class; she will only add to your stress. Every week, she gave out around 40 assignments.

Professor Polakoski is an outstanding professor. Out of all my entire college career, I have never met a more caring professor than her. She really tries to make sure her students understand the material. There can be a handful of homework but she works with you to meet deadlines. She does group work in order for students to get to know each other.

Prof. Polakoski is the first person EVER to get me to care about & LIKE math. I've always been terrible at it 'til I took her Math 69 class. She made math in general accessible & approachable. She is so kind & so generous and really really cares about the success of all of her students. She's great with questions, too! Would definitely recommend!!

This professor gave an insane amount of homework. The class is hard to keep up with even if you didn't have a part time job. Avoid this professor at all costs. She may seem nice, but her class will add more stress to your workload. So please please take a different professor if you can.

worst class. The work load was insane. 3-4 modules per week. Each module was average 20 slide with a quiz after each slide. The are was a accumulative test after each module, a exam after each group module per week. 2-4 groupwork project per week that you had to do peer reviews and submit by certain day of the week and the final project by sunday

I have never liked math and always had trouble with the work but she made this class somewhat easy. There was a lot of homework but you had the whole week to complete it. Not only that but you are able to repeat quizzes up to three times which helps out a lot. She is very caring and if you need help or extra time to complete the hw she will give it

Best professor I've had, I've never done good in any math class and I passed her class with an A. However, she does give A LOT of HW! I got a good grade but I worked for it and spent a lot of time at tutoring center/Office hours etc. Only downside was she'd let us out too early when we needed to review before tests/finals. Overall she was awesome!

Took online 8 week course with Polakoski & as someone who struggles with anxiety it was the best choice Ive made. Every week she assigns about 3-5 modules & gives you a week to complete them (stay on top of it, youll do great). If you get the chance I recommend taking this course with her, first time Ive ever received a good grade in math!!

This professor is awful. She gives lot of homework projects it takes time to finish. It is the worse professor I ever encounter. Check for other professor the amount of homework is insane for 3 credits is not worth it.
