Dr. Benson was awesome. Her videos were clear and concise. She was always available outside of class if I needed help on the homework.

Dr Benson is a good teacher. She teacher the material well and is more than willing to help her students outside of class. She doesn't always explains things in the best of ways, but she will try to get her students to understand the material. She grades your work and I love that as other teachers only grade your answer!

This class has a good amount of homework, but it helps for the tests and quizzes, which do not allow note sheets. Thankfully, the tests and quizzes are fairly straightforward and typically involve problems similar to what is practiced in class. Attendance is a small percentage of the overall grade. Dr. Benson is knowledgeable and willing to help.

I can confidently say I learned the most math from Dr. Benson. She was thorough with her lectures and it was easy to get help if needed. The class is super reliant on remembering information from the beginning of the semester so make sure you understand it right away. If you fail the class, it's because you didn't put in the effort.

I hate this teacher, I've had her twice now and her form of teaching is telling students to read the book, then when it comes to the home work, neither her lesson nor the book match the home work. She thinks that everyone should automatically know what mathematical terms she uses means and is oblivious that no one gets good grades in her class.

She is great at involving the class in the lecture.

The tests don't reflect my skill because they are filled with curveballs much harder than the quizzes. Total lack of communication on dates, infrequent updates online even after COVID forced all online classes. Class time was used for questions on future homework, which no one had done yet, making them pointless. Stopped posting lessons online fsr.

Katherine is a great person, I came into the class having already taken calculus in high school. I thought it would be a breeze. I was very wrong. She looks for thorough understanding of concepts. She is always available though. I now have more of a love for math than ever before. She does grade hard but you will see your understanding grow greatly

Dr. Benson was a very understanding and super nice professor. She would have no problem taking her time to explain, she wants to know where you are struggling. You have to speak up! I will say tho, she has a very logical way of explaining things and is hard to understand sometimes. You have to do lots of studying on your own before class.
