Comment:

Hes a great professor, but you have to study, especially if you aren't good in math. His program is structured for success of his students, but its not easy my any means. Also he's a super cool guy who wants to help his students. I would definitely retake him.

Attendance is not mandatory. Homework and quizzes are all online, you have 3 chances to re-take the quiz. Tests are somewhat hard, you have to actually know the material. He dropped the lowest homework, quiz and test score for our class. Lectures could be better. He is hands down the most chill teacher I've had.

Took him for all math classes at FJC, started in math 40. The only reason I graduated FJC, moved on to CSUF, and earned my B.A. That is all.

Comment:

Excellent professor, very helpful. I am extremely weak in math and he makes it easier to learn. Theres a lot of homework so if you can't be independent don't take the hybrid you have to teach yourself a huge percentage of the work. He can be a little fast paced but if you ask questions he's willing to help. Take him, you won't regret it.

He's a great professor who really loves to teach. He's willing to go over lots of problems, examples or anything to make sure you understand concepts. His tests are tough but fair. You have to really understand the material. nothing is easy about his exams. Quiz every day, HW not collected and he drops your lowest exam. Really have to work for an A

I took prof. Farnham's math15 online class, to pass the class do all the mymathlab hw and tests. Do the chapter review quiz/test to help you out before you take a quiz/test. Mymathlab provides step by step explanations to problems. Do not fall behind I did and went from a B to a C hw is 20-50 questions, quizzes 10 questions and tests 50 questions.

I would take his class again, he does offer a lot of homework on the webpage (MYMATHLAB,PEARSON). His lecture is short, and sometimes skip chapters. He would expect you to read them online which is very simple to understand.

The only math teacher that gives credit for homework (30% of grade) Great instructor, his grading is clear, he gives ample opportunity to succeed with up to 3 attempts on each weekly quiz and any online exams. He also often curves the in class exams. I took him for Math 15OL, 20HY and 40HY and hate to go on to the next level with another teacher

Comment:

This is one of the easiest math classes I've ever taken, and it was all thanks to him. You can tell how passionate he is about the math he's teaching and it makes it easyenjoyable to follow. He's also pretty funny. Since it was a hybrid class homework and test were really easy. As long as you put in effort you'll pass

I took his Online class through Coastline, we met twice for tests. I wish I would have taken a class with him to see him everyday! Basically theres aprox. 60 questions a week and 3 attempts at weekly quizzes, 2 on-campus tests with notes, and weekly discussion board--that I never did-- where you just ask/answer a question. Super easy going class.

Do yourself a favor, take this professor; a very good Math teacher. I took both Hybrid Math 20 and 40 and learned a lot in this course. He communicates with complete clarity. Be prepared for the high level of homework; no complaints, it will help to prepare you for the exam, not easy. Attendance and participation counts towards your final grade.

Professor Farnham is very helpful, if you don't understand a problem he will explain step by step. The online course does have a lot of homework questions, and in order to take quiz you must complete 70% of the homework. The exams are tough but as long as you complete your homework, you'll be fine. Overall hes a great math teacher.

Comment:

Ive taken Mr Farnham for basic and intermediate algebra, he did a great job I feel much more confident with math now because he does a great job at explaining the concepts. His test are difficult and his class is not easy. Expect to work hard if you want a good grade. Lots of HW questions every week, But you will benefit from doing HW

I took his hybrid class in a regular semester. He's a pretty chill teacher, all the hw and quizzes are online and 3 of the 4 exams are online as well which is pretty cool. Note: if you have the Disability Support Services, remind him by email that you took the On-Campus exam at the Disability Testing Center.
