Reviews of professor Susan Ficken

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The homework assigned is unreasonable. 3+ assignments with up to 50 questions. It takes hours to complete. Please do not sign-up if you work or have a family.

Susan Ficken, was an amazing Prof. She assigns a lot of homework at first however, it created a solid foundation for me as I advanced in math. She is so sweet and makes sure you understand every step of a problem, which helps you when you move to higher levels of math. 100% would take her again.

Prof. Ficken isn't a bad person, but she has a holier than thou attitude. She will laugh at you in your face if you ask a question that she already "went over". Also, you are graded on concepts that you learned during the same class session (Mini Quizzes). She gives way too much homework with very little leniency regarding due dates.

I was worried about the other reviews under this profs name. And to make the reviews true here i am to prove it. College just started and we have tons of homework already. If you take tuesday thursday classes. Its hell if you take her. You get homework almost every other day. Goodluck. I cant even do my work on other classes:/

I highly suggest that if you take this class you switch out of Ficken. Especially if you struggle with math like I do. She docks points over the smallest things, 20+ homework assignments a week, quiz after every single class. Its ridiculous. And be prepared to spend hours on math, she thinks that her students don't have lives outside of her class.

At all costs do not take a class with Professor Ficken. She does not teach at all. you have to learn everything from the homework. She will not help you at all, she will say look at your note packet and if you use outside sources she will prosecute you to the fullest extent. If you can learn just from mylab this is the class for you.

Dr. Ficken is a solid choice math teacher. Very test heavy but gives very helpful and useful study guides. Do the study guides, show up & do the homework, you will be ok. If you dont try or work hard she will not reciprocate the effort. Gives math quizzes after every class on topics you just learned that class which is very difficult. Lots of hw.

Professor Ficken is very passionate about math and willing to help her students. What makes the class difficult is that the tests and final amount to a large majority of your grade. If you are not a good test taker, it is very hard to do well. Also, the tests get progressively harder. If you do well on tests and put in the effort, you will do well!

Easy in lecture, but hard on exams. I honestly have no clue what she is asking on most exams. Answers some question thoroughly others not so much; you can ask "how do you solve this question" she would answer "with lots and lots of practice" which is rude in my opinion. Obviously there is a need of practice but explain how did you solve the problem
