Rose Morris-Wright

Rose is a fine teacher, but shes not amazing. The content itself is hard, but thats expected of this course. Honestly, class with Rose was better than expected. Shes really nice on the grading and her exams are mostly what you expect (as in she tells you what to study/expect). The HW in this class also takes a REALLY LONG TIME but that makes sense considering what class it is!

Grading is so harsh it’s very hard to do well. I took calculus in high school and Math 105 (precalculus) here at middlebury, which led me to believe I would be able to handle this class. Professor Rose teaches through lecture which made it hard for me to understand. I found myself getting very confused during class and group work even when I asked many questions. The exams were nothing like the homework and extremely challenging. If I could do it again I definitely would not take this class.

I don’t know if it was the fact that I hadn’t taken calculus in high school or the fact that I took pre calculus in my junior year but I found this class pretty difficult. The homework was consistent M/W/F and decently easy besides Friday where you have to break down every component on 5 different problems. But, the grading for this was very harsh, at times I would spend hours working on the Friday homework to only get a 16-18/20. It got very frustrating at times. Additionally most of the time material was digested through group work. I find this method very ineffective because you can often feel isolated or ignorant if you do not understand a problem, at least for me, I opted to move on to the next question rather than harp on a minute detail I was not comprehending. In my opinion, Rose did not take enough time to go over material or check in with people. This became salient when taking the exams, she really likes to teach the bare bones of a concept and then add a bunch of fluff on exam. This made it so you were not being tested on a specific concept but many at once on exams. Therefore, if you did not understand one concept the exams became an extreme undertaking. In all, I would never take this class again and do not recommend it without taking calculus in high school.
