Jennifer Crodelle

Probably the worst class I've taken in the Math department. Crodelle's lectures are slow and unfocused, to the point where she often did not cover everything you needed to know to do that week's homework. The content itself is not difficult, but Crodelle seems to think it is, as she assigns homework of absurd length that essentially has you do the same menial labor calculation-based problems over and over again. The exams were reasonable, as the problems were very similar to what you had been doing for homework. The final project is nice and allows for some group work (not too common in math courses). Overall, though, I wouldn't bother taking Diff Eqs. unless you're extremely interested in mathematical modeling.

Jen is great- her grading is easy to understand and designed to make you learn from your mistakes. Exams are not insane but difficult enough, but not weighted super highly. The course material can be challenging, but \grading is extremely fair.

Crodelle is super sweet. The class is just on a difficult topic and you need to be able to put in the time and effort to learn the material. She has a nice grading and point distribution system that makes grading pretty fair.
