Comment:

He's horrible! dont take him! avoid! he does not explain anything, and hes arrogant, and completely unfair. Like, im so good at math, and i got a low C in this class, and its not becuase i dont know the material, because i do, its so easy, but since he's crazy, i got a bad grade! i should have had an easy A, so def dont take if math isnt ur subject

He isn't that bad of a teacher.Just make sure you do the homework because that can help you alot. He doesn't explains things very well but you can look in the text book and it shows you how to do things.

Comment:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! he is a physics teacher, and hates that he's stuck teaching easy math. his exams are nothing like the class and he doesn't give ANY partial credit even if all your work is correct. He expects you to know everything going into the class and basically mocks you if you don't. I have never done so poorly in a math course.I HATE HIM

Comment:

DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS! I was an A student and couldn't pass any assignment. He still teaches from his "high school notes" and refuses to let you use a calculator. His speech is almost as terrible as his handwriting. He even said that he is a mathematician not a teacher. Don't say no one warned you..

WORST TEACHER EVER! Avoid at all costs. He acts like all the material he teaches everyone should know before taking the course. I got a 5/10 on a worksheet because i left ONE word out! This man is a joke and way too old to be teaching.

Comment:

He honestly wasn't that bad. Pay attention in class, ask questions when you're confused, and he'll be happy to explain. He has a very quirky sense of humor. He is simply fair. He expects the same from every student. He prepares you well for the exams as long as you go to class and take a look at the homework. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

Comment:

he is pure evil. he wants you to fail. my class started with 40 and ended with 10. i was one of those 10. i thought he was so rude. he tells you day 1 that he expects most of you to fail and he teaches from his highschool notes.

worst teacher! do not take this class! most of the students dropped including me. quizzes on definitions and if you misuse a comma he marks the whole question wrong. i had a few athletes in my class that he would fail on tests if they missed class because of a game even thought they were excused. horrible!!!!

Comment:

In high school I was good at math, never got below a B+. I got him & got a D. He will explain something one way & if you dont understand to bad. Never used use the book, dont buy it. The notes are his high school notes. He told my class the avg grade on the final is 100/200 & it has been that way the past 10 yrs. Id get another teacher DEFINITELY!

Comment:

If you're not decent or good at math, forget about taking him. He is a very nice man, but the way he teaches is impossible to learn. He teaches with symbols and definitions, which never made any sense at all to me... Don't take him, I'm warning you.

He is honestly a nice teacher, but he is one of the "My way or no way" teachers. His handwriting is incomprehensible as well as his speaking.

This person takes pleasure in seeing you fail. Its almost impossible to pass with more then a D. He sucks. Avoid this class at all costs. If you are assigned this teacher switch immediately. Dont try.you'll fail. Im serious. Danger zone.

Comment:

My unofficial transcript I have all A's and B's I can promise you except one F and it's in his class. He is an ex-cop and clearly acts like it, tries to be meticulous about every single aspect of the class as in not filling in the date on the top portion of the quiz will get you a zero. I corrected him in class and he hated me for it. WORST TEACHER

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS! The worse teacher I have EVER had. He may know his material, but he doesn't know how to teach it! He made no sense when teaching it, and says he gives you plenty of points but they are near impossible to get. I am an A student and couldn't STAND his class, do not take!!!

Horrible! only professor i kno that circling an answer will have u not get the points even if ur answer is right.He gives u the opportunity for recieve alot of points but those points arent easy to get. Really intelligent man but teaching shouldnt b his thing.
