Reviews of professor Afsaneh Penton

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Her class is simply something to get through. Ms. Penton will answer questions, but the overall course is passable when you memorize a few formulas for each quiz.

Cares about her students, just make sure you participate and ask questions or else she'll get irritated. As long as you show up and participate you're good to go!

I honestly dont understand why she has horrible reviews. I went to her office hours countless times because I suck at math and she was so willing to help me and set me up for success. I love her teaching style and it makes lectures easy to understand.

Moves a little too fast in class. Attendance is crucial. Forgiving with grades, though.

Super easy class, she is very caring of her students, but gets mad quick. The study guides are the exact same as the test so its super easy.

I was really worried about taking Penton's class after reading the reviews on this website and taking a math class online for the first time, but the class was great! She dropped our two lowest quiz grades and made the tests pretty simple if you did the homework. You get to redo the homework questions as many times as you want to get them right.

The class was hybrid so we had our meetings on zoom and then in-person later on in the semester. She is easy to communicate with and friendly. Online quizzes are weighted heavily but she gave our class multiple extra credit opportunities.

I had her for my algebra 2 and thought it would be great to take her statistics class since we both knew each other....no. even if she excuses you for missing her class, there's a high chance that there will be a little pop quiz after the lecture and those hit hard if u miss them or fail them. So beware (her teaching is kinda bad too)

Super sweet, very easy class. The 2 exams are the same as the study guide. Only thing that bugged me was if someone does not answer her question she gets mad very quick.

Lectures were decent, not too in depth but the quizzes and exams were just as simple. She communicates well outside of class and has tutoring and extra credit available. She wants you to succeed and as long as you put in the effort, you will. The final was very easy and she held an online final review live for questions. Overall pretty decent class

She made quizzes proctored half way through semester, doesn't seem like she knew the material, nice as a person, mid as a teacher

Penton would always rush through lectures, and when someone would ask a question in class she would answer with a question. I really didn't like the way she taught, and after leaving her class I would feel braindead. But, she did seem to care about her students and is a nice person.
