Comment:

If your good at Geometry this class is for you if not good luck. Professor Tucker is not too hard but does make mistakes here and there so if you catch him making a mistake please correct him. If you ever need help you can interrupt him and he will be glad to resolve your problems. There are quizzes and homework every week sometimes more.

Comment:

If you already have lots of background knowledge you'll be fine. But if not, don't expect to be taught everything by Tucker. You will most likely have to use the book to stay caught up with quizzes and homework. Also, Tucker is bad at answering questions, make lots of mistakes working out problems, does not explain things clearly, and is SLOW.

Lots of busy work such as quizzes, homework, and poppers. He does an exceptional job of being thorough and making sure everyone understands the problem. Has tons of patience with students and goes over every problem. Wonderful teacher who cares about his students

Comment:

Professor Tucker is very nice and this math class just covers the basics. You do not have to show up to class because, odds are, you know most of the material covered, but he does give pop quizzes which add up to your final grade. The final is not optional, but all exams have reviews! Like any other math class at UH there are online assignments.

Professor Tucker is simply adorable and an excellent professor. I recommend taking him. He will drop 20% of pop quizzes, 2 homework assignments, and gives extra credit. His class is easy and he goes over everything that is on the exams and assignments. Love him and this course!

Comment:

If you want to pass, show up to class. Not because you need his lectures or because of attendance, just purely for the pop quiz grades. If you want to understand the material, it's easy but teach yourself. Do not pay attention to him. If you try to let him explain anything it makes it 10x more confusing. Just read the instructions on the worksheets

Comment:

Do not take this class! He appears to be very sweet, but he picks on the students who don't get the material. He also constantly makes mistakes when writing out problems, and he has the most insane grading scale ever. He takes off 8 points for minor things, then once enough people have yelled at him, he'll re-grade it. Not worth the stress

Comment:

He never took attendance which was cool, but other then that he's a horrible teacher. Do not take him unless you want to teach yourself, I used an others professors notes online to help me pass this class, but even then I barley passed. I recommend taking another teacher instead of him.

He has no ideas what he is doing. He stops stares at the problem for a while then he says, "we'll come back to this next time." Do NOT take him for math 1312!!

Comment:

Dr. Tucker is a sweet old man but he has NO idea what he is doing in terms of teaching. He constantly called students up to the board to "teach everyone else" and would get numbers confused constantly. I'm not good in math AT ALL, so I would recommend someone else for this class. If math is a strong point for you, than I would say to take him.

So easy! I've made 110 on each test, & 100 on almost all homeworks, which are also a breeze. Tucker is very helpful, & he's sweet. I would retake this if possible! Final is required, but no attendance. He will occasionally give (easy) quizzes unannounced prior to that class time. So show up everyday! If you're failing, it's because of your actions.

This class is beyond EASY. I have scored above 100 on every test.. Honestly this class is a waste of time, but required. And he does make you take the final no matter what your grade, which is ANNOYING but he is sweet and the class is fine

Very easy class! He is a very sweet old man who is willing to help. There are weekly hmwk assignments, & he reviews for tests which are easy. Every class he gives wrkshts that go over the week's material. This is one of my easiest class, & he is so smart, nice & easy to get along with. I will miss him once I complete his class this semester. )':

Pretty laid back guy. Easy topics-basic math, doesn't require intensive studying. Kinda boring. Daily poppers- so go over last class' lecture. Homework online. No text req. He gives extra credit at the end of semester.

He is so nice, but doesn't know how to teach. Just print the outlines and homework out and teach yourself, it's not difficult stuff at all! A quiz is given at the end of each class, so attendance is required. Super easy A though.

Comment:

Although sometimes he may seem clueless, he is a very nice professor. The first couple of weeks was kind of confusing, but once you get the hang of his style of teaching you should be okay. There is also an online textbook that you can turn to if you need extra help. His class is honestly not bad at all.

I think back in the day, Dr. Tucker was a genius. You can tell he is not as sharp as he used to be. He makes frequent errors while teaching. He's always willing to help. But the CASA tutors will become your bestfriend if you take his course. 4 tests, a final, daily quizzes, and 4 HW's. You must seek external help if you want to do well.

Ok, he is nice and all but he dosen't know what he is going to do from one minute to the next. The 2nd week of class he decided that we would have little tests EVERY DAY! Which means you have to go even though at times it it pointless. He "sometimes" picks up homework "sometimes" gives tests "might" give a midterm. Orginization does not exist!

Comment:

Absolutely not the worst professor, but not the best either! His problems don't flow, and he tends to confuse the class. Daily tests (more like quizzes) are given w/ a max of 5 questions. Drops several grades. Tests = hw grades. Definitely a good class to catch up on other homework in. He does try to make jokes, so give him some credit.
