MATH 3000

Content-wise, the material wasn't too bad and was a good introduction to higher level math. That being said, Dr. Bergner was the worst instructor I've ever had in my life. Lectures were extremely unhelpful; she'd put us in breakout rooms for 40+ minutes to work on a class activity, come by for a second to make a comment, and then bring everyone back to the main room before ending class. There was NO instruction or learning whatsoever. We also had weekly quizzes (all of what I believe was part of a new method she was trying to use and also because of COVID-19) that we could continuously redo until we got right. The thing is, she NEVER gave us answer keys or solutions to any of the class activities or quizzes. We'd have to go to office hours to get help, and even then, her curt and condescending attitude would discourage me and others from even attending. I got most of my help from the TA, who was AMAZING. I don't want to ramble further, but her consistent slack in giving us information about our final project and just in general was horrible. She let herself have over 3 months to plan a final project whereas we had to continuously use "tokens" to make up for actual work. While I got an A in the class, the way Dr. Bergner handled this class was just terrible, and she needs to make a change and actually invest in her students and teach.

she is the worst professor I have had at uva. she is rude, degrading, and simply does not care about her students. take this course with literally anyone else. she is nit-picky about everything. she took off points because i stapled my homework out of order. she also gives basically no partial credit for your work on tests. and also provides no solutions for homework so you have no idea what you did wrong on homework. she gives little feedback on how you can receive full credit. she also made a girl cry in our class and literally showed no emotion toward her. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER!!!
