She does have an Awful accent but shes a good teacher. She really tries to help. her class is relatively easy and her quiz questions come from the practice quizes.MATH1120 2009-12-03 21:42:21 +0000 UTC
She is AWFUL! Very difficult to understand- spend most of the class time deciphering her "English" before we can begin to learn the math. She'll teach the same thing as the book, but the tests do not reflect what she teaches. Ridiculously awful grader and worst class to take if you want to maintain a good GPA. AVOID!MTH560 2009-06-19 14:42:03 +0000 UTC
She turns an easy subject like Transformation Geometry into the hardest thing. Memorizes theorems, posts them on the board, yet does get the logic behind them, which doesn't help the student either. Makes mistakes frequently on the board, which makes figuring out the theorems really annoying. Tests are really hard! Avoid at all costs!MTHU581 2009-06-10 16:16:58 +0000 UTC
horrible. speaks very poor english and has the most irritating accent because she is from turkey. barely understand the material, and can not explain things in different ways because she just memorized how to do a problem and doesnt really understand it. midterm and final are a lot harder than the weekly quizzes. avoid her if possible.MTH115 2009-04-14 12:06:18 +0000 UTC
Worst. Professor. EVER. Does not understand or speak english. Doesn't care if you do well in the class, only concerned with her lesson plan. Do not take any classes with her if you want to learn anything and come out of a class with your good GPA still in tact.MATHU 2009-02-18 18:41:00 +0000 UTC
SHe is not bad. and to respond to the other comment, if your smart and know math you shouldnt be taking algebra u idiot. Her english may seem to be a problem but its not that bad u'll get use to it. She is really nice and really tries to help u understand.MTHU141 2007-11-29 22:24:54 +0000 UTC
Anyone who says that she can not speak English is just being ignorant. She's speaks clearly, and will slow down when ever asked. Made Calculus very manageableMTH141 2007-11-13 20:23:59 +0000 UTC
boring and annoying dont take if youre actually smart and know mathAPPALGEBRA 2005-12-06 16:19:38 +0000 UTC

it woulda been nice if she spoke english to explain somewhat complecated math stuff, just a thoughtAPPOFALGEBRA 2005-09-01 10:09:50 +0000 UTC

Don't know if it's her or the 1980s textbook, but something is making a class that should be easy much more difficult. She tries to be friendly and helpful, even changed office hours to be more convenient for us, but she's a very tough grader. Could definitely be a lot worse, but still try to avoid her I'd say.MTH560 2009-06-15 13:43:27 +0000 UTC
