Professor Ma was a great teacher. She helped everyone understand all the topics in a concise manner. The only strike against her was that attendance was mandatory which was a bitch, because I had already taken this class in high school, and skipped most of the lectures. This definitely affected my grade in the class.

Professor Ma was absolutely incredible! I enjoyed each of her lectures. On quiz day, she would have us split into groups to do group work. Not only was that effective in learning, but as a first year, it also helped me to know students who otherwise I would never socialize with.
During office hours she was super helpful and patient. I could go in very confused, but once I left I had a better grasp on the material. She made herself available whenever we had questions, and she was able to communicate well with us throughout the entire course.
What I liked the most, was that we had additional book work to accompany our online homework. I would do this work before the Webwork, and it helped me when studying and completing other tasks. With this book work, there were solutions readily available, and so I was able to learn from my mistakes on the spot.
Overall, Professor Ma showed that she cared about our learning, and in my opinion, those are the best types of professors. She is truly a great addition to the APMA department.

Ma is a really great professor! The class is pretty tough but she explains the material in an organized manner. She really cares about her students.

I loved this class and Ma was an absolute sweetheart. She is so nice, accommodating, and helpful all the time. Very quick to respond to emails and even lets you stay in her office hours to finish tests/quizzes. Webwork is not bad at all (even though people might say it is)- she also posts the answers to suggested problems that you can use to help with hw. Midterms are quite easy and the final, at least this year, was very easy. If you are decent at math, no reason you should not do well and get an A.

You need to put in a decent amount of time in this course, but an A is definitely managable.

I had a great experience with Prof Ma. She was very straightforward and taught the material well. I spent little to no time outside of class trying to teach myself the material. If you can, take this class with Prof Ma.

Amazing!

Professor Ma is super sweet and a good teacher. She is easy to understand and really wants the students to learn the material. My only complaint is the WebWork homework assignments can be tedious with the algebra.
