Reviews of professor Laura Ballard

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Because Professor Ballard teaches stuff directly stated from the textbook, it can make actually applying the information difficult. Additionally, she does not review before her recitation quizzes like most professors are supposed to. Do not take her if you can swing it. Lovely woman personally but not good teaching.

Makes up the most outrageous rules and collaboration is not allowed or else she will try to get you expelled

rude, ununderstanding, racist

Laura is wonderful. Patient, kind and approachable. Always willing to answer questions regarding course material and is accessible outside of class for help. She definitely knows her stuff, too! Laura also provides students with many resources and extra credit to help them succeed. Would take another course with her/hire her as a tutor if I could.

Professor Ballard is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I came into her class having taken AP Statistics in high school and not having a solid precalculus base. However, she makes sure that she explains everything and provides as many resources as she can in order to help her students succeed.
