Comment:

This teacher does not stay focused in class. He teaches for five minutes, then goes on a tangent for ten minutes about different subjects, such as history, politics, and current events. He assigns a lot of homework everyday from the textbook. He blows by the homework problems when going over them in class. And yes, for real, he is rude to students.

Comment:

He's not as bad as everyone says he is. He'll answer as many questions as you want and doesn't move on until everyone is ready and understands. He's not the best teacher but he's pretty helpful and if you show up to class it's easy to pass with a decent grade. His tests are pretty easy. Don't take your phone out, he'll kick you out of the class.

Comment:

I would not recommend anyone to take this professor. He was rude to his student. I would never ask any question because some students would ask more than one and he would get mad. He is always telling a story in class and he also made math confusing.

Comment:

I had a weird relationship with this professor. At times I thought he was clear, helpful, and thorough. More often than not he takes at least half the period going over homework. Other times I thought he was annoying, disorganized, and kind of a jerk. He's overall ok, but after awhile he starts to grate on your nerves.

Took this over the summer. You have to know how to handle this man. As long as your cell phone doesn't go off in class,you study (hard!), and participate in class you will get the grade you deserve. Fair professor and teaching methods are very clear.

Comment:

He means business. He is strict but tells you that from the get go. If you are looking for an "easy A" look again. You have to work for a good grade but he is a great teacher. Honest and fair.

Comment:

this professor is the worst ive ever had so far. he would get distracted easily and belittle people in the classroom. i felt sorry for one girl in the class he constantly picked on. when you ask a question he gets upset and moves on to the next topic. i would be surprised if anyone in that class learned anything

This is the worst professor I have ever had. He should have been "fired" years ago. Check with the Math Department to see how many complaints he has had before you dare take his class. You will have a better time walking over hot coal.

Lawrence Orilia is a pure example of evil on this earth. He really enjoys hurting and scrolling students. I've never met someone like that before. This was a total nightmare.

Comment:

Honestly i have NEVER had a teacher as bad as him in all my years of schooling. He is the most useless professor ever. He will embarass you in front of the entire class time and time again and he goes off on tangents which are completely irrelevant to the lesson he is 'trying' to teach. He gives loads and i mean loads of hw every night. I despise t

Comment:

One class he spent his time saying how us students were bad at math because of key techniques we missed in third grade, he claimed third grade was an essential math year, can you say wacky. I wouldn't recommend this professor if you're a struggling student and you're looking for a good professor to teach you.

I took this class spring 08, i have to admit, im pretty good at understanding math and he made it so complicated. He always went off topic in class, and blamed women for most things. One day class was spent on the astrological signs. His tests were impossible.

Comment:

This is the first time I'm writing on here because I feel the need to warn people away. This is the WORST professor I have ever had. He does not teach. He spends his time saying why most students are bad because of what they learned in the past instead of just teaching in the present. He makes the most easy math concepts hard to understand. DROP
