Comment:
Once you get past the tough and boring exterior, you can learn to really like prof Collins. He makes you work for your grade and does not TEACH math. He does practice examples on the board and you are expected to take notes and teach yourself at home. If you failed ur placement test and are stuck in the class just do ur work and you'll get an A

Ok teacher. He teaches from the book but he's quite helpful and caring. When I needed help or emailed he responded promptly and took time to speak with me after class. He is a bit quirky but, that makes him less intimating. Overall, do HW and study before tests, Elementary is easy if you practice!

Professor Collins reads directly from the text book every single class and actually uses those exact questions from the book on his exams. His tests are super easy but never multiple choice. He is such a nice guy but teaching just is not his thing.

Absolutely need to go to class and do all the homeworks and reviews if you want to pass. I was very diligent in the beginning seeing all the kids in my class that seemed like they weren't going to take this class seriously because it was Elementary Algebra, luckily it paid off. You don't need to study for the amount of hours he says, just do all hw

He's a nice guy, but don't expect to learn anything. Copies examples straight from the book onto the board and solves the problem, but doesn't really explain how to do it yourself. The book doesn't help with that either. He goes off on random tangents, talking about politics or his family, or his other job. I'd avoid him if possible.

At first he comes off a little stiff, but once you get into it he does really know his stuff and he is very helpful. It also helps that he is a really quirky guy. He made taking Elements of Algebra not a chore :)

this guy likes to hear himself talk and voice his opinion on stuff that doesnt even relate to class. no one cares what he thinks. he talks down to you like you are a child. he doesnt teach, just simply puts the examples from the book on the board. you basically have to teach yourself the whole semester.

This guy is boring and he is bald but hes the only bald guy without a shine. Im dissapointed in his teaching and he talks way too much about his son and his views on life and his marathons. Ill give him props for being able to run 26 miles in one race.

This Prof, is a total nightmare, and really quite negetive although the material is easy. It would be a lot better if he was positive, but in the end harmless.

Professor Collins is really down to earth. He seems to try a lot to be friendly, and to be fair. The material is super easy so he really doesn't have much to teach, but he seems to teach it clearly enough to follow.
