Summary and Reflections:
This was a pretty crazy semester. The Math 102 course I taught at a branch campus, and the other two at the main campus. Nuts! But the branch campus students were great. My other algebra class also went pretty smoothly. I'm experimenting with daily quizzes to replace assigned homework. The calc class was fun, but a lot of work. It was the first time I'd taught it (the science/engineering version anyway). Lot of prep, but I love calculus and would love to teach it again. No evals were done for the two algebra courses.

Student Comments: (from the Calculus course)
She explains the material well and answers all the students' questions.

I liked having lots of quizzes to assess if I actually understood the material.

Absolutely. Ms. McCall takes the times to teach things that are hard to understand.

Even though the subject matter was hard, she really went above and beyond to help me understand.
