9520023great professor, always willing to help. Her final was a bit too hard in comparison to her regular exmas
9520023Professor Birken is a very clear, easy to understand teacher. She is happy to answer any questions, and will help students struggling, as well as challenge proficient students. Very fair tests and quizzes. Well worth all the work.
9120023One of the nicect teachers I have ever met. Gives a fair amound of tests and quizzes, but I felt that I didn't do enough work in the class for the quarter. If you are very good at math and want an easy quarter, take Birken!

9520003Awesome teacher if your really bad at math. She is very nice person and the labs are useful.
9920003Mrs. Birken is the best Calc teacher I have ever had. Her test are fair, and she explains everything very well. She is very nice, and actually cares what students think. She's not as entertaining as Dr. Hart, but she teaches very well so you can actually stay wake in class.
9920002Great lady! Very reasonable is everything. Willing to work with you...grades online are nice. Just don't slip up on the homework, it can drag you down.
9520002Very cool teacher, tests not hard, easy labs. One thing I didn't like about her was that she doens't give homework to do..

9520002Excellent teacher because she takes the time to clearly convey material to the students. In addition, her use of the internet enhances the classroom experience.
9920002Always available after class if you need the extra help
9920002She is overall a great professor!! She always helps you when you need help, and doesn't treat you like you are an idiot if you don't know something. Do whatever you can to get her!

6520002she doesn't teach the book in order, she went from 7.7 to 7.5 to 7.4, and then gave us a quiz on 7.1. Its impossible to get more than a 15 out of 30 on a quiz. The labs are just a waste of time, nothing is learned from them, so they are just basically a waste of a day. That leaves one less day per week to learn. Not as great as others say, especially if you are lazy.
9920002Very good teacher. Understanding and willing to help out.
9920002Excellent professor. Willing to help anytime and does a great job when doing so.
8520001Too easy, if you want to get more out of your math courses than only a good grade. You can get an A only by memorizing methods shown in class.
A plus: the Mathematica labs.
9520001excellent prof for people who are not the best at math. explains concepts really well. although , for people more proficient at math , she can be a bit frustrating
9920001She care's about her students. Always there for helps, understands college life, and gives many breaks. Test are fair, and so is homework, and quizzes, EVERYTHING is laid out on her web page, even STUDY QUESTIONS
9920001Very good professor. Explain things very thoroughly. Highly recommended, especially if math is not your strongest subject!!
