MATH 113
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Karen is an AMAZING math professor. She explains everything so clearly and writes out the process as she teaches so you can actually see how she got the answer, and is so question friendly. If you need to take trig, TAKE HER CLASS. I took trig last sem with a dif professor and got an F, this semster I'm at an A. She's so good!

She is awesome! I was struggling with a lot throughout the semester, and she opened past homework assignments up for me, and whenever I needed to meet to talk through something I didn't understand she would hop on right away!

Love Karen! Had group quizzes every Tuesday and individual quizzes every Thursday. Class is very easy if you pay attention and utilize the practice quizzes and exams. Karen really cares about her students and would even make extra practice to help her students further prepare. She even held zoom review sessions the night before an exam.
