MATH3B . 4 Years Ago

Dr Fryer is a great professor! Before taking their class, I had gotten a C on MATH3A. Dr Fryer made the concepts easier to understand and was always available at office hours. Their tests are very fair and covers only the things that you learn in class so you won't be surprised. You also should practice as much as you can & the book problems help.

Professor used weird typed out lecture notes so those were good for theory of the work, but they did a lot of examples on the board for applications. They are very nice and want you to understand so ask questions. Textbook was recommended for extra practice but I didn't use it and I passed. Definitely recommend this professor to everyone

If you study for the exams with the homework assignments then you should do good. Thats that the exams basically are. Section and lecture are not mandatory. There was quizzes in section but they were not for a grade, only to help you understand more. You do not need to buy the textbook. No practice exams provided. Grading kind of hard.

Dr. Fryer is an amazing professor and highly recommend them to any student for Math3B. The class is very easy if you already took AP Calculus and Dr. Fryer is very friendly and welcoming to all, especially the LGBT community!

MATH3B . 6 Years Ago

Dr. Fryer is a very kind individual. They truly want their students to succeed and genuinely understand the material. They take questions during lecture and make sure to answer them thoroughly. Grading is very fair, homework is helpful and moderate in length. Tests are similar to homework and in-class notes. Overall, a great class and professor.

MATH108A . 6 Years Ago

Excellent teacher. Friendly, exceptionally clear, and not a tough grader. Makes even the most difficult of concepts accessible. Awesome completion based homework system designed for learning concepts. Prof Fryer really wants you to succeed. Best Math teacher I've encountered.

3B . 6 Years Ago

Lectures are straightforward and not overly rushed. Fryer will do their best to answer questions in class but you need to do a lot of practice on your own to do well. Expectations for grading are clear.

MATH3B . 6 Years Ago

Professor Fryer was very good at explaining math topics--she made integral calculus not a big deal. You have to go to lectures because she does iClicker questions, but the lectures are helpful anyway. Be prepared to study a medium amount for the class, but overall, Fryer is probably one of the best picks for your 3B professor.

MATH3B . 6 Years Ago

Professor Fryer is an amazing math professor. Extremely understanding and assistive for those who struggled with the course. Lectures were extremely useful and are posted online, but iClicker makes attendance mandatory. Suggested book problems for the final and midterms are posted on gaucho space and are very useful in studying.

All integral calculus. Fryer explains the concepts very well, and always provides examples. Definitely a solid choice!

MATH3B . 6 Years Ago

I would definitely recommend for MATH3B, the order they present the material in is different than the other professors and makes more sense. Everything is presented through theorems and equations then used through examples. Tests and homework are very straightforward.

MATH6A . 7 Years Ago

Prof. Fryer is the best math professor I ever had! She explains concepts clearly and the lectures are well organized (great for note-takers). Textbook isn't required but it helps understand some complicated stuff. She is super helpful outside class and VERY good at answering questions in office hour. WOULD TAKE A CLASS W HER AGAIN

MATH6A . 7 Years Ago

Her lectures are very theoretical, but if you're engaged during lecture she helps to make sense of complicated topics. Homework would have been extremely difficult without section and CLAS though because she doesn't do examples. I never opened the book but instead relied on online homework for practice. Tests were very easy.

MATH6A . 7 Years Ago

Fryer's lectures were very minimal help (lectured on definitions) when it came to doing the hw. The only real time I learned the skills to do problems on the homework and tests were in section. Don't choose a Monday section if there will be a lot of holidays that quarter because you'll be left with no understanding of how to do the hw.

MATH6A . 7 Years Ago

Professor Fryer caters to math majors by teaching the class on a purely theoretical basis. The whole lecture consists of abstract proofs that don't help at all with learning the material. She starts every class with a quiz which makes each lecture stressful. Definitely one of the better and more clear professors in the department, but not amazing.

Like the last comment said, Fryer is a good lecturer. She provides clear explanations of what she's teaching. She is also always available outside of lecture to help her students. (Side note: Take advantage of CLAS to receive the best grade)

MATH8 . 8 Years Ago

Fryer was a very good teacher, her lectures were very detailed and clear. You have homework due every week which challenges you and that she grades very harshly. The midterm and final are not impossible but they do test on everything you learned. Read the book because it's super helpful with the difficult topics in the class.
