Reviews of professor Samantha Platt

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Had her for math 243 discussion and she helps clarify things taught in class. She responds really quickly to web work which is really helpful. Awesome GE!

I had Samantha for a discussion class, by far the most helpful discussion leader I have had at U of O. Very nice and happy to help you and go over things slowly. She is an easy grader.

Good teacher and offered many chances for office hours. There was a lot of homework, but it was reenforcing what was learned in class. She was always willing to help with any assignment and I could tell she wanted every student to do well. She gave lots of (easy) extra credit, allowed for note cards on tests, and was a fair grader.

Samantha was an amazing teacher. I am seriously realizing this after having to take 252 with another GE. She explains things clearly, doesn't go too fast during lecture, and will devote time outside of class to help you understand! She included fun examples in class, and also offers multiple extra credit opportunities :)

calculus is difficult so be prepared for lots of studying on your own, but this is a great class. very intelligent and knowledgeable/experienced lecturer. She prepares you very well for tests, is well organized, very kind & understanding, and the assigned textbook was free. A GE of the people.

Probably the best teacher I had at UO. The homework is hard, but is helpful to prepare for tests. She made sure we understood the topics during lecture,  provided a lot of extra credit, and was very generous in grading mistakes as long as she could tell you understood the material. She was always understanding of web work and other online issues.
