Reviews of professor Natalie Welcome

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The way MAT117 is set up isn't great but it doesn't help that Prof. Welcome has around 70 students in a class so when you ask for help, don't be surprised if she doesn't ever come by to actually help you.

I took this class was online fall 2020, it was mostly independent and you only logged into zoom for attendance and then worked on math in ALEKS. The actual math was kind of hard and there is a lot of homework each week. You can work ahead and complete the class early it's just really time consuming.

I took this as an online class over the summer and it was super easy as long as you did your work on time. There were 2 tests and each assignment has 3-5 questions. Would take again!!

Midterms and Finals determine your grade in the class as they are 50%. The tests are also 4 questions long so if you mess up it's over. The lectures are long and boring and even if you are paying attention you will still get lost. Multiple times in her study guide videos and pre-made in-class slideshows have incorrect answers or work.

I passed by the skin of my teeth in this class, as MAT117 was extremely difficult. I hated ALEKS. HOWEVER, Professor Welcome is a very caring, inspirational, and helpful person. If you are struggling and working hard in this class, she will do everything in her power for you to succeed. I would give a 10 if it were possible.

Dr. Welcome is a caring professor who answers any inquiry with grace and professionalism. If she does not reply to your email within an hour, she will respond before the end of the day. Her video lecture notes are very thorough, and I recommend studying them alongside the Cengage study guide for exams. If you put in the work, you will succeed.

Its an easy class if you understand. I personally struggled with her teaching methods aka only doing examples and not giving any notes she constantly was doing the examples wrong on the board and had to double check the answer or would say ill finish it later I cant find my mistake and would move on. If that teaching style is for you its an easy A.

Finishing topics on time plays a big role in your overall grade. In order to take the final exam you need to finish ALL 307 topics! However, Welcome is always offering and there for help! Sometimes the way she taught confused me. The study guides were almost the same as the test just different numbers and tests don't have very many questions.

Professor welcome was very helpful and caring. I found that the class was pretty easy if you just put a little time into it. Highly recommend
