Review #1 / Course: MATH 1022 / Instructor: KURTZ S
I am a person that loves math and for me she killed it. She knows nothing about math and I mean nothing. She will copy problems right out of the book, doesn't explain anything. If I did't know math I would not be getting a good grade in this class. She thinks she is so cool and helpful saying we don't need to learn the unit circle, but because of the unit circle I am a month ahead of the class and not struggling. If you don't like math or not good at it don't take her. PS she sounds depressed every day and sometimes sounds like she is on the verge of tears. She also has a "police officer" her TA who walks around class taking notes on your behavior to deduct your participation points.

Class is difficult, nothing like 1201. However, Kurtz is a good teacher. May seem harsh/bitchy at first but she does lighten up. You HAVE to go to class to understand material. Easy project to boost grade. Attendance grades daily- GO TO CLASS

Don't let others deter you from taking Miss Kurtz. She is extremely helpful, nice and informative. Her teaching style is at a normal college pace, and it's not fast at all! Keep in mind that she has to cover a lot of information. Take her!

Mrs. Kurtz sometimes gets a reputation for being mean. But i think its just because people dont like Math. Go to class take notes and study. Not so hard

Teacher is extremely rude and complains about the littlest thing. You better know how to teach yourself. She doesn't teach anything she just speeds through it all. You always have homework and quizzes and she won't help you.

She's mean and not helpful if you ask a question in class. The computer tests are hard, and she doesnt prepare students for it. Most who take her, drop her class cause it's that bad. Dont waste time with this one!!

Mrs. Kurtz is kind of boring but she knows what she's doing. Just be sure to do the hw because she won't help if you don't do the work. She also moves kind of fast through the material, but it's not that hard anyways.

This class does take a lot of time, but it does in any class. Some people tend to initially find her hard to approach, but she is actually very helpful and understanding. (i think its just the tone of her voice.)

Mrs. Kurtz is the rudest teacher I have ever had! She threatened to lock the doors because so many people got up and left the class! Don't worry about going to class unless you're bad in math. Everything is done on the internet including tests!

the class isn't bad and neither is the teacher or the materials. three tests, five qz, and three proj. throughout the entire semester. just make sure you study for her test and can explain concepts cuz sometimes you are asked to explain in words
