Pros: Easy to miss this class a lot, because you learn more from the book than from her.
Cons: I had her for business Calculus (which isn't listed here because she doesn't usually teach it) and she was rude to her students, taught us how to do most problems incorrectly, never really taught us well enough to succeed, and basically told us that we're "college kids and should be able to teach math to ourselves". I had to teach myself everything from the book and go get tutoring, because going to her lecture was an absolute waste of my time.
I've heard she's a good teacher if you're in really high level math classes which involve a lot of physics, but she really really seemed to have no respect or care for her lower level class.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
This was by far the worst professor I have ever come across while at CSU. She teaches using absolutely 0 examples, and when she does, she skips steps and the entire class is lost (has happened on multiple occasions). I am absolutely baffled on how bad of a teacher she is.

Professor Freeman understands most students taking this class do not like/care about math. She makes it fun, but making silly jokes and examples for the problems. She is very knowledgeable of what she is teaching. She is always willing to help when you ask for it. If you really want to get on her good side, ask about her band. She has impressed my so much.

Pros: She is very dedicated to make sure that everyone understands the material
Cons: None
The class really is not too bad. Freeman knows her stuff, and does her best to communicate with students and get the basic lesson across. Tests will be easy if the math processes are understood.

Hilary is a great professor, she teaches really well. She also cares if students understand the material. she does her best to help everyone in class and then has office hours if you need extra help. the material is fairly straight forward. If you know how to work the examples and the concepts behind them, you'll do well on the test. my only gripe with Hilary was the fact that she didn't really narrow down what was going to be on the final. If you have a friend with another calc 155 professor ask them what their professor said was going to be on the final (they will probably have a much better idea than you).

Pros: This class is good at preparing you for what you will see in future classes that are math based.
Cons: More than one teacher writes the tests so you don't always know exactly what they are expecting from you.
