Reviews of professor Nicole Fider

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Avoid her at all costs!! Tons of homework, and you will not have the answers to most of the homework. She is also a very very tough grader!! Take other professors' class, please. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

Prof Fider had great lectures, and made difficult concepts easy to understand. She is very friendly and accessible after class. Very caring and added EC for webworks. Prepared me well for final exam

She is really funny and genuine and doesn't hide anything on her exams. Just study the practice exams and you'll do well. She's the most relatable prof I've ever had and definitely one of the best math professors I've taken.

Gives out ridiculous amount of mandatory homework, doesn't provide answers for anything (assigned homework, midterm "study guide," quizzes... meaning no confirming if how you're doing it is right), and doesn't slow down for the pace of the students. Math 13 is crucial for upper-division courses; take someone else to have a deep understanding.

Her notes are super clear and organized. She explains hard concepts in an easy-to-follow manner and is easy to approach. Her exams are also very straight-forward--no tricks! Beware of T/F and MC questions btw, but they're hard in general in 3A.

She was new to teaching Math 13. Some of her ways of teaching were good, others not so much. It was nice that she wrote up all the formal/rigorous proofs for us on her notes, but at the same time there was no textbook for us to reference. Homeworks are also extremely long and tedious, with no solutions! Goes fast and zooms through too many proofs.

She is good at explaining but her exams suck. They are okay and straight forward, but they are way too long. she gives you like 8 problems each with like 4 parts and expects you to finish. you can finish but you would be able to check your work and you will probs make a mistake. avoid if possible

She doesnt know what she is doing, She makes mistake on every worksheet, quiz, test, etc. She gives out worksheets everyday instead of teaching. Most of the time the worksheets are super easy and arent for credit but then she gives super tough quizzes and test which tank your grade. She doesnt curve test and is a always late to class.

She is very good when it comes to her own lectures. Even though homework is turned in every lecture, the notes are very helpful and understandable.

Linear algebra with Professor Fider was fairly easy, and her lectures make the concepts easy to grasp. There is homework due every lecture but they are usually quite short, as well as additional homework that can be used to gain back quiz points you lost (there are quizzes almost every week). Midterms and final were all very straightforward.

Average lecturer. Not sure if she prepared us enough for future math classes.
