Comment:

This man is good only if you can learn purely from examples and being treated like you are a five year old just learning how to do calc. If you ask a question get ready for him to call you stupid and explain that it is his way or the highway/ you stupid

Comment:

I took Differential Equations with him and it was absolutely terrible. He always makes mistakes on the board. Whenever someone tries to point out his mistake, he sometimes gets upset about it. He almost never talks straight to the students. Please, if you have a choice in professors, DO NOT take him. I tried in his class and I barely passed.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS DUDE. He WILL screw you over. When we were taking a final, someone had a question and it took HIM 30 minutes to figure. If it took him 30 minutes, how are we supposed to figure it out in the 10 minutes left in the exam? Seriously though this guy has no knowledge of anything whatsoever, and its ridiculous. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Hey is unorganized, and doesnt spend much time explaining problems well. Talks into the white board and grades tough despite students not grasping material. Please avoid at all costs

Comment:

Loves memorizing formulas for math Spends most of classtime facing the whiteboard and talking into it Lectures are mandatory and formal Dislikes stopping for questions and may be upset if a student asks the wrong question Is willing to meet outside class, but will not attempt to explain material in a new way Will not give extra credit

If you want a professor who can actually teach, grades fairly, and doesn't expect you to do your work the way he likes it (even though he doesn't teach it the way he wants it), DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES. NONE OF THEM

AVOID, he gives pop quizzes at attendance and the pop quizzes contain questions that he never taught. He cant hear very well so bring a microphone. If you don't do it his way, you'll get a 0.

Comment:

If you don't do it his way, you're wrong, whether you show work or not. Quiz at the beginning of EVERY class - regardless of if he's covered the material. Not only the worst professor I have ever had in any subject, but not a nice person. If he was crossing the road in front of me, I wouldn't waste the break fluid in my car, he's just that bad.

Avoid him at all costs. It's an easy math class but you're better off learning on your own if you don't already know the material. He does a few problems per lecture making things more complicated. Most kids who passed the class were paying attention to their phones more than the professor. Quiz everydayfinal material wasn't what was taught.

Checks attendance with a two point quiz every day, no make ups. Final exam had material that was not gone over in class because too much time is spent on going over daily quizzes. Handwriting is near illegible. Homework takes forever. Do not take!

Comment:

He takes attendance by giving a 2 point quiz at the beginning of each class, usually on the material you learned that day. The quizzes are 20% of your grade, and there are no make ups. He explains the math decently well, but writes at a 90 degree angle. I learned this material freshman year of high school, but struggled because of so much studying.

Comment:

The worst math teacher I had in High School is better than this guy. Aparently he has never heard of Microsoft PowerPoint because it takes him the entire 50 minute class to explain just a few problems. His handwriting is illegible and curves down as he writes Daily 2 point quizzes make up the quiz grade which can make or break you. only got 3 tests

Comment:

If you like quizzes every day and failing math you should take this course. If you do end up with him i suggest you drop immediately. Takes 50 minutes to go over one problem and goes on pointless rants

Comment:

It's awful that what you'd think to be such an easy class ends up being the most difficult. Took this class and struggled every day. He deducts points for reasons like not doing the work he expected even if you got the right answer and gives little to no partial credit. Avoid him!!! I wish I did!!!!!

Worst teacher Ive ever had, doesnt explain material that pertains to homework or tests. Might as well take a class online that teaches you. Avoid this teacher unless you like teaching yourself everything.

Comment:

Took this class freshman year. Takes the whole class and 3 boards to explain 3 problems in-depth. There are definitely better teachers. homework/book online which can be frustrating to impossible to access if the server is running slow. Homework will be extended if asked. Our Final exam differed from what was covered in class.

Comment:

I had Profesor Cournoyer for Math 205 as a first semester freshmen, and he was by far the worst instructor I have ever had. Moves ahead assuming the material is understood by everyone which is a problem if you struggle in math. I received an F in his class, and A's in my others. He is rigid in his grading, there is no partial credit. Avoid him.

Spends entire class doing two problems. Not flexible with anything. Easy topics, just taught terribly.
