Reviews of professor Katherine Naimark

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Naiamark Is one of the most caring and best professors at Mesa. I have tried taking Trig THREE TIMES in my time at Mesa I could not do it but, I passed her class. Sure she only grades on tests but as long as you do the study guides - which you are required to - the quizzes and tests are a breeze! HW is optional, you wont regret her class!

Before you start deciding to choose this teacher just from all the good comments,second think.First couple wks were pretty easy,after the first exam it started getting really hard. I was stressing and crying so much every week,retook all exams twice.Gave me a condescending laughs with questions I had.Stress levels where high needed a physiologist.

Sweetest, most amazing prof ever. HW is optional, grade only determined by 4 exams + final (all open note), but can retake any of 4 exams as much as you want. Clear lectures, HW is reflective of exams, very very knowledgeable. Very inspirational and fun to listen to her lectures, and explains things cleary. Answers Qs and offers help. So amazing!

Prof. Naimark is an amazing professor. However- understand that she is not lying when she says that this class is incredibly fast paced. HW is not mando, but if you want to pass you'll treat it as if it is. Extensive algebra knowledge is required to understand the material. She is easy to contact outside of class and wants you to succeed. Good luck

Free textbook, but no need to read it at all. Her notes and class videos are enough. Papers are a little abstract. Study guide is super useful. As long as you work on study guide, you can have a good grade on tests. However, she sometimes takes few points off for strange reason, making me feel like she doesn't want to give me full points.

Really great professor. She assigns a lot of homework (be ready to work hard!) so that you can be prepared for the next exam. She's clear at explaining things, and she's available to meet outside class. Take her!

Yes, there is a TON of homework but it is mainly to practice problems. Some of the homework was similar to the exam but you need to show work to back it up. Very good lecturer and is so friendly in office hours.

Professor Naimark adapted great to online learning. She had great lectures which were recorded in case you missed class. Only the first two weeks were mandatory. There is a fair amount of homework each week which is necessary to do in order to get good grades on the tests. The best math professor I've taken at Mesa by far!

Solid professor for a very tough class. Calc 2 is no joke, especially online so if you aren't prepared to put in the work, then I suggest to look for another professor or take it when we aren't online. Class is fairly straightforward with unlimited attempts on homework. Exams are online on myopenmath but you need to submit your work for credit
