Math UGH!: Being an instructor for one of the most hated classes in college

I have decided to do my Profile on Bethany Pratt, a math instructor at LBCC. I am very interested in what makes a math intructor tick. I have always looked at math instructors like dentists, you have to go because you know it is good for you, but it doesn't change the fact that you hate it.

My three sources I will be using are:
1) A student from one of her lower level math classes ( Math 65)
2) A student from one of her upper level math classes (Math 111)
3) Fellow instructor

There will be at least five or more questions I will be asking and they are:
1) Of all the courses to teach what made you decide to become a math intructor?
2) Where did you receive your education and degree?
3) What was your worst moment as a math instructor?
4) What made you decide to teach math at LBCC
5) What are your hobbies outside of work?
6) Are you married with children?
7) How does your husband and or children feel about math?
