MATH 1140

very solid class, easy to follow. doesn't assume any prior math knowledge so a good class for non-STEM people needing to fulfill requirements. Kristina is always available to help and grading was fair.

I took this class in Spring 2025 (it just wasn’t available as a selection when writing this review). Overall, it’s a very manageable and is the definition of an easy A, though you should expect to spend around 3 hours per week on homework.

The class moves at a fairly slow pace, and most of the concepts are straightforward - especially if you’re comfortable with basic math. Kristina genuinely cares about her students' success and did an excellent job preparing us for the midterms and final exam.

There are weekly quizzes every Friday, so regular attendance is important. However, the quizzes are quite easy and often include bonus riddles that can help boost your score.

I’d recommend this class if you have a solid grasp of foundational math. Some of my peers struggled a bit, especially those who didn’t feel as confident in math, but I personally found it very easy. It’s a great option if you’re looking to fulfill a math requirement or raise your GPA with a low-stress course.

Very strict and particular with grading; TAs grade not the professor and she provides no leniency or grace with deadlines outside of a 10 minute late extension for homework assignments past 11:59pm. A very "if I offer it to one student, I must offer it to everyone else" professor. Don't recommend if you're a chronic skipper, this class heavily relies on in-person attendance. If you're committed it could live up to its "easy" reputation, but if you don't stay consistent with coursework, it's really easy to fall behind and hard to catch back up. Take advanatage of office hours if you're struggling, professor is kind and willing to help, but a stickler for policies.
