MATH 221
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Lectures are very disorganized and her notes are difficult to read. Her tangents will take up a lot of time and are extremely distracting and irrelevant to the content. I do not recommend.

Professor Kent is not a good lecturer, I would not recommend taking Calc 1 with her. Her lecture notes are very messy and hard to follow.

I would only tell people I hate to take a class with this professor. She does not explain well during lectures. I've asked people around me in lectures and discussions, and they haven't understood what was going on either. I ended up dropping the class and had to retake it next semester.

Would you like to go to a math lecture and come out more confused than you were before? This professor is your guy!! Seriously, this professor did not explain anything and just solved problems that had nothing to do with the curriculum

Bad lecturer, made numerous mistakes throughout the year, frankly nearly every lecture. The TAs or students in some cases had to help in correcting many issues
