Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Dr. Phillipson was always very cheerful in lectures, she took a good amount of time in class to deeply explain topics so that we can understand what's going on at a better level. She answers questions perfectly, her lecture notes are easy to follow along with, and the homework that she assigns is great practice for exams.Rate My Professors ↗

She flips over the quietest talking in a 100-person class, stopping her teaching and pointing it out. It's more distracting than the whispering of students. Also, if you put your notebook or computer in a bag more than 5 seconds before the end, forget about it.Rate My Professors ↗

Dr. P was a great lecturer. All of her lectures are recorded but she's great at answering questions in person. All of the exams were very similar to past exams although a little MCQ heavy. She is also the course coordinator and very knowledgeable, and her office hours were amazing she came up with great examples on the spot. Take her for 320.Rate My Professors ↗

Probably the best math prof I've had here. Very personable. Explains concepts very well and her notes are easy to follow. Exams are exactly like the reviews and previous tests. The textbook is for extra practice problems only, you don't need to get it otherwise.Rate My Professors ↗
