MATH 300 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 9:25 pm, Mar 11, 2013 Report Evaluation |
I had Dr. Riley for math 300 last quarter and was disappointed how the major projects that we spent so much time on were not graded by the teacher. Many in the class were unhappy with the peer grading aspect as many stayed after class to talk about it, and I really feel Dr.Riley should have modified the class in order to resolve the issue instead of doing the same thing for the subsequent 2 projects. I've had other instructors at poly who realized something not working and made changes in order to fix it soon after noticing. | |

In my experience with Math 300 I learned a ton about geometers sketchpad and alot of useful stuff about excel. The part about peer grading was not the best for some people in class but I think Dr. Riley is going to change this or at least that is what she told one of my friends. The major part of the problem was that there were way too many people in the class. To her credit though Dr. Riley told us that she would regrade anyone's big project if they felt slighted as far as points. In all, I have alot of great activities that I can use when I am teaching. | |

Dr. Riley may be great for the lower level math classes, but my experience for upper level was not good. We conducted peer grading that accounted for 60% of our grade in the class with a highly subjective rubric - this means another student in the class graded your project. If you get a student grader that's an easy grader, you are good to go and will get an A in the class as long as you do ok on the mini quizes and the mini projects that are actually graded by Dr.Riley. BUT if you get a student grader that is harder, this means you will not get the A you think you deserve. I paid $1000 for this class and I didn't learn much because the big projects were never graded by the teacher and instead graded by students who have VERY little experience grading, let alone VERY little experience with creating lesson plans. I was very disappointed in this experience and hope my future higher level math classes do not conduct peer grading for 60% of my grade in the class. | |

Dr. Riley is a really great teacher. She is friendly and she genuinely cares about her students and wants the best for them. She explains the materials very clearly. She spends little time talking about the concepts, and a lot of time doing examples. She makes sure she does all the different types of problems to prepare us for the homework and the tests. She also breaks her examples into steps, and they're quite easy to understand. Calc 3 was definitely a harder calculus course, but she made it pretty easy. Make sure to ask her questions if you don't get something. She'll be happy to help you. Her tests are not hard at all. Just study the hw and her examples and you'll be fine. I'd definitely recommend her for this class. | |

Kate Riley is a great teacher! She is good at explaining the material in 142. This was my second try at Calc. II and it was so much easier because she was straightforward and clear when it comes to relaying the material. She likes your work to be orderly but I thought her grading was fair and the weekly quizzes are easy as long as you do the homework. Two midterms aren’t bad either. Another plus is that she is very personable. Nice lady! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! | |

At first I was really nervous about this class but that is because I don't like math. Professor Riley really cares about her students. She expects alot but in the end this is good because she is just trying to help you learn. She lays things out and tells you what to expect on the tests. I loved her way of reviewing for the exams by having us go to the board and practice problems. Overall, I think she is fair and I would recommend her. | |

I took Kate Riley for Calc. 2 and she is GREAT. You have to do the homework but it is doable because she lays things out in class so that you know how to do the problems. She presents the concepts clearly and is willing to help you out if you have any questions. She is super helpful in office hours and quizzes and exams are very fair. I got a C because I completely slacked off and got behind. | |

I had Dr. Riley for Math 142 and I had a good experience with her teaching style. I found her teaching to be very straightforward and thought she explained the concepts well. The material was presented in a orderly, logical way that was easy to understand. Also her weekly quizzes and 2 exams were very fair. She does collect homework though but by the end of the quarter you are glad she does. She is very helpful in office hours and really just a nice person that cares about her students. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Riley for the calculus and wish that she was teaching 143 next quarter. | |

MATH 132 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 2:29 pm, Aug 11, 2011 Report Evaluation |
Riley does not have the capabilities a Doctorate of Mathematics should. I retook Calc 2 with her because of her high poly ratings. She is usually kind and get's the basic point across. She doesn't lack as a lecturer. It's her logic that's screwed up. She isn't bad, so take her if your other options are worse. On the first quiz, I integrated something like the square root of x + 1, something very basic. I squared both sides before I integrated it (something my past professor taught me) and she gave me no credit on it. She said it was wrong but she COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY. So she went to ANOTHER PROFESSOR. She ended up giving me credit on it, but I had a few other problems with her and her "logic", resulting in her kicking me out of her office. She doesn't like to acknowledge the logic or applications of math, and instead likes to reiterate lectures and stick to HER methods. She really rubbed me the wrong way to the point that I didn't want to attend her lectures. She's good at reiterating lectures and her exams aren't too challenging (easier than Liese who I took before), so take her class if you want. | |

I had a horrible time with this professor because she doesn't seem to be willing to change her mind once she has decided something. Her grading rubric is totally stupid. For being a math teacher she is just not logical. It may just be me, but she is one of my least favorite teachers in the whole department | |

Dr. Riley really cares about her students and wants you to learn the material. I bombed the first test, had an F most of the quarter and ended up pulling off an A... after working my ass off. Sometimes she goes quickly over the material so be sure to read the book and do homework in addition to going to class. If you ever need help- just ask, she is a really nice, personable lady! | |

MATH 241 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 1:59 pm, Jul 13, 2010 Report Evaluation |
Kate is a wonderful professor. She is super nice and always answers questions to the best of her ability. She is also willing to give you extra help in office hours if you get stuck. Her grading is very specific because she expects a certain style for your problems. She just likes things to be orderly, but if you do your homework how she recommends that the problems are to be done, the quizzes and tests follow the same style. A lot of partial credit is taken off for stupid mistakes, and expect to spend time evaluating everything for the precise answer. Check your work and keep up on the homework and you will be fine! Two midterms, weekly quizzes and the final. If the class does poorly on a midterm she will replace the lower midterm score with your final score. | |

Dr. Riley is an amazing teacher. Her explanations are clear and her grading reasonable. It seemed like everyone in her class was experiencing success this quarter. She does assign homework multiple times a week (it is also collected) but it is extremely helpful when it comes to the quizzes and exams seeing as most of the problems come straight out of the text. 5 Quizzes, 2 Exams, and a handful of furloughs. GREAT CLASS! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN. | |

I had Dr. Riley last quarter for Math 143 and I thought she was awesome! I found her explanations to be clear and straightforward. I thought her quizzes and exams were fair. Basically if you did the homework and paid attention in class you were fine. I do have to say though that 143 is the hardest with the sequence and series chapter. I would definitely recommend her to others and would gladly take her again....in fact I tried to but had to register the second to last day and so didn\'t get in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! | |

Seriously, somebody needs to speak up about how awful Riley really is. If you have ever had a remotely competent math teacher or professor before, riley will not live up to your expectations. She pretends to be nice so that people will like her and give her good poly ratings scores, but there is nothing that I like about this woman. She makes mistakes all of the time while doing examples. She cares too much about the excruciating detail of your style, which caused me to not actually learn anything from her. Please, anyone else who feels this way, speak up now before too many other unsuspecting freshmen take her. | |

Dr. Riley is awesome! She explains the concepts in a logical way and is very willing to help if you were confused. She was well organized, very straightforward, and explained the material well. Exams and quizzes are very doable if you do your homework. She had extra study sessions and office hours and gave handouts especially for the chapter 12 series and sequence stuff. She really cares about her students and very friendly and approachable plus knows how to teach. TAKE HER!! | |

MATH 143 Freshman Grade Earned: F Required (Support) 10:46 pm, Mar 22, 2010 Report Evaluation |
First of all, don\'t let my grade scare you. I\'m not a math person. But I would like to say that the hardest topic for me was series and sequences (chapter 12) which was about half of the final. Let me go on abou tmy review for this professor, she\'s alright. Her exams weren\'t toooooo bad. If you could do the homework, you\'d probably do fine. Quizzes every week, homework is required and one of the assignments (picked at random) is due the day of the quizzes, two midterms and a final. hw/quizzes 20%, 2 exams 50%, final 30%. One thing about her is that she doesn\'t really curve and she doesn\'t really give partial credit on anything. If she had given partial credit, I\'m pretty sure I would\'ve passed. So make sure you\'re background in calc 2 is strong. All-in-all, she\'s a friendly professor, a little bit disorganized, but I don\'t think I\'d take her a second time around. | |

dr. riley is really awesome. she really cares about her students and it shows. make sure to try and talk to her, she loves to hear what you have to say and it makes her like you. her grading policy was a little irritating, small homeworks were worth the same a as large projects, but all in all, wants her students to succeed. her quizzes are harder than you think they will be. | |

MATH 244 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 2:36 pm, Mar 30, 2009 Report Evaluation |
Great teacher. I feel that she made linear analysis not as difficult as some other professors seem to make it (according to friends), though the theory behind some of the matrix-related material was still a bit hazy. However, even though some of that was a bit hazy, you would easily be able to know what to do for homework (especially since she'll go over each type of major problem in class behind you do the homework). As long as you do the homework and study a bit for midterms, you should be fine, and the time alottment on midterms is very fair, allowing for plenty of time to check your work. DO check your work, since on some problems, if you screw something up in the process, you may end up with a different kind of form to put your answer in and whatnot. Not much partial credit is given for matrix-related problems, since it's basically all about row reducing accurately. | |

She was honestly the best math teacher I have had at Cal Poly so far. The only thing is she does not give very much partial credit at all so you need to make sure you make No stupid mistakes. She gives 4 quizzes, homework, and 2 midterms. The nice part was she replaced our lowest midterm w/ whatever we got on the final so she is very very fair in that respect. I would absolutely take her again though! | |

Dr. Riley is a great teacher that teaches well while not being overly serious in the classroom. I liked her method of giving quizzes which are followed by midterms that go over essentially the same material using a different problem. If you figure out what you're doing wrong on the quizzes, it's easy to get a good midterm grade. She actually wants people to do well in her class, so she'll drop a low midterm grade to help you out. Definitely figure out a way to get her on you schedule for any of the early calc classes. | |

This teacher was a great teacher to take for my first quarter of math in college. She presented material in a very logical way and was willing to help whenever you were confused. As far as homework she collects one assignment out of a group so it is probably best to do all the homework. Had I not had the class at 7AM, I probably could've done better in the class but Ms. Riley is a great teacher. | |

Riley is the best. For me 142 started off so difficult, I think I never got higher than a c- on my first three quizs. But I began to see she takes many of her quiz questions from the homework (or makes them similar). And towards the end of the quarter, she even tried boosting everyones grades by giving a few take home quizes and dropping the lowest quiz grade. Very NIIICE. Very predictable and straight forward final. Very neat and clear and understandable lectures, approacheable. Get her as your teacher | |

Dr. Riley is an awesome professor and I was dissapointed to find that she wouldn't be teaching 143 the next quarter. My grade is as it is because all my other years of math have used a textbook series that is cumulative so going over one topic then moving to a completely different topic was foreign. I would strongly recomend having a class with Dr. Riley. | |

MATH 143 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Support) 4:31 pm, Apr 23, 2006 Report Evaluation |
Dr. Riley is very friendly and is a pretty good math teacher. The material isn't too bad either. quizzes were all pretty easy and manageable. the main thing that screwed me up in this class were the midterms and the final. I had a 96% on quizzes and homeworks but the midterm and final killed my grade. I knew the material very well, but couldn't finish either the midterm or final. Missing one question can bring your grade down to a B and minus a few little typical mistakes you're already down at a C. I got a B and a C on the midterms and a C on the final, a C in the class which brought me to the conclusion quizzes and homework are pretty much meaningless in terms of your grade, they just help you learn the material better. I'd recommend riley as a teacher but if you have her, practice the material enough so you can do very quickly and finish your tests. | |

MATH 143 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 1:31 am, Dec 16, 2005 Report Evaluation |
Professor Riley is a great professor. I had heard horror stories of college professors not having a very "involving" lecture, but Professor Riley proved that stereotype wrong. She has daily lectures which are very thorough and easy to follow. If you pay attention during lecture, the homework will be pretty easy. She has almost weekly "quizzes" which are factored into the homework portion of the grade, these quizzes are meant to prepare you for the two "midterms/tests" and the final. She collects homework at every quiz, homework is worth 10 points; the quizzes average between 30 or 40 points. The midterms are very much a compilation of all prior quizzes, they're not that difficult if you did well on the quizzes and homework. The final was TOUGH. It was a lot more challenging than the previous two midterms. The one thing about Professor Riley that I particularly didn't enjoy was how she pretty much enforced showing our work but also deducted points for showing the work. A prime example (that I was commonly docked for) was whenever integrating, forgetting to put in the respective dx term at the end of the integral. That would be an automatic -.5 of a point. Another example is whenever taking limits, you always have to write limit as x approaches infinity on EVERY line of work, or else that is more deducted points. She says that if you get the final answer incorrect but show your work, she'll give partial credit. However, you could get the answer correct but lose points because your shown work was sloppy. It's a double-edged sword. I'd still recommend taking Professor Riley for 143 though. 143 covers some of the material that was on the Calculus BC AP test, so for some, the first half of the course will be pretty much review of convergence and divergence of series. | |

Dr. Riley is an awesome teacher! She is a very nice grader and provides every possible chance to succeed. She was disliked by some individuals in my class, but mainly they are just the ones trying to pick a fight which is unfortunate for the rest of the class who has to put up with them. =( Back to Dr. Riley...sometimes the in-class proofs are a little confusing, but if you take the time to glance at the theorems and definitions in the book they will make sense. She does a lot of the homework during class which is nice. The tests are very fair but the questions come from both the text and the handouts--so study both! She is a very caring teacher and will go the extra mile to help any student in her class. Take Dr. Riley...she's AWESOME! | |

Someone better tell the dark side of this so-called teacher. She put formulas on the board and did not explain or know where they came from. On 2 occasions the problems she had on the final and midterm could not be solved. She may be able to teach something she knows, but she knows next to nothing about modern geometry. I feel this class was close to the shittiest I have had at Poly, and believe me, I have had some extremely shitty classes. | |

Kate is an extremely nice professor who is willing to help students to succeed. There were 2 midterms and several quizzes to help us prepare for the midterms. They are very doable if you do your readings and homework assignments. We were also expected to use Geometer Sketch Pad to construct different figures which was pretty rad. Although at times she was too picky and it was impossible to figure out what she wanted us to do but overall I think anyone will be able to pass the class if you come to her office hours to get help. | |
