I had Professor Lindsey for multivariable calc all the way back in Fall 2023 when I was a senior in high school. Going into my first college class, I was extremely nervous, yet Professor Lindsey helped ease my transition in, clearly explaining every concept. 2 midterms and a final worth 28% each, weekly quizzes and homework account for the rest.Rate My Professors ↗
I have never had a calculus teacher that explains content as well as Professor Lindsey. She is very aware of what aids student understanding (visualizations) and the things that tend to trip students up. If you attend lecture and do practice test, you will probably be alright.Rate My Professors ↗
Fantastic lecturer, nice. Make sure you look at previous exams that she posted.Rate My Professors ↗
She was very clear in what she expected of us on exams, and her lectures were recorded- I had 7:45 lecture, but I only went in person a couple times. Great lecturer and very organizedRate My Professors ↗
Amazing lecturer. Her lectures matched the material on the exams. The class is extremely exam heavy with 80+% of your grade being from 3 exams, but the professor does post study material. The study guide and the previous exams prepared me well. All homework is online, and for each homework problem you have 20 tries to get it correct.Rate My Professors ↗
