About your instructor

My name is Melissa Quinn. I earned my Bachelors Degree at BYU in Mathematics Education. I am currently working on a Masters Degree in Mathematics Education. I have one year to go. Wohoo!! I have been a mathematics teacher at Utah Valley University since 2003.  I enjoy teaching at the college level.  I am a Montana native. I didn't grow up on a farm or owned horses like most people assume. I did live close to the mountains. I love the mountains and enjoy hiking. I spend a lot of time hiking up Rock Canyon. I love healthy food, gardening, teaching cooking classes, and going to the movies.  I have a wonderful family. I'm married to a mechanic who is passionate about cars. We just celebrated our 12th anniversary together.  We have 4 children: Andelin, Porter, Miles and Talia. My life is sweet.

I look forward to a productive and fun semester. I hope you are ready to work hard and that you will  feel comfortable working with me. I care about your success.  This is my 4th semester teaching Math 110.
 I've chosen excellent Ta's which I hope you will get to know and will ask questions.

Here's some pics of my family being silly on BYU campus. In my defense, it wasn't my idea but the kids sure had fun. We definitely got a lot of strange looks and laughs.We were taking the eccentric look a bit far. What's funny is we aren't the type to dress up ever. In fact if you were to visit our house anytime during the week we'd all be in our sweats.
