Comment:

Awesome Professor! He teaches you the material well and is very entertaining to listen to. He tells funny stories and makes the class enjoyable. His tests are on the material he teaches and are not cumulative. Drops lowest test grade. Doesn't take attendance. Doesn't check homework.

Comment:

He's a nice guy but if your horrible in math don't take him because he goes off on tangents about casinos and you basically have to teach yourself for exams. Also he says exams are cumulative but past test questions show up on other exams. drops lowest test.

Thanks to having a great professor, this course was easy. Dr. High explains things really well, and I had no problem getting an A in the course (was also exempt from the final exam).

Comment:

Professor High is funny, but a horrendous professor. He's intelligent but everything he teaches is so confusing. I went to many different tutors to try to help me, but he makes you do everything a certain way that tutors can't help you with. You're left to teach the class to yourself, since he is no help. I advise you: AVOID PROFESSOR HIGH!!!

Comment:

Professor High seems good at the start, but in reality, he teaches you very little. And when he does attempt to teach, he does so in a very confusing way. I would not recommend taking him if you are easily confused in math, do NOT take him as your professor. Only 3 tests, about 6-10 questions each. Drops lowest grade.

Comment:

I learned a lot from Dr. High. He is a great teacher. Very clear, keeps things interesting, and always answers questions. The material did involve a significant amount of time doing homework, but after all this is college, that's to be expected. I highly recommend High (pun intended). Shout out to Dr. High.

Comment:

I learned a decent amount of material, but it was because I spent hours doing the homework... He doesn't care whether you learn it or not and shows it too. He spends way more time trying to make foolish jokes than to take questions. When he answers them, he always spends half of the class going off topic.

Comment:

This class is very difficult, but Prof. High is a very good professor and really makes learning difficult material easier. Those who cannot handle this level of difficulty love to blame the professor instaed of looking inward to themselves. Maybe if they worked harder they could do it, I did.

Comment:

Professor High comes off as being a great professor at first because he is funny and makes the class laugh but when it comes down to the material he sucks. He doesn't explain where he got numbers from and just expects us all to know exactly what he's talking about. He does not offer help and the tests are very hard. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Prof High was great. Very fair grader. Three tests of 10 or fewer quests. Drops lowest grade. Easy to do well. Plus his personality is great -- dry wit -- going to class was actually fun. Take him if you get the chance. His teaching style is relaxed and fun and you actually will learn a lot of math -- bonus.

Comment:

More worried about making the class laugh than making sure we understand the material. You have to solve the problems the way he shows you or you don't get credit. Tests are less than 10 questions long so if you get one or two wrong you're screwed. I'd advise you to avoid.

Yes, the course can be challenging at times, especially if you're not good at math to begin with, but Prof. High is a very good teacher and certainly makes going to class enjoyable -- which helps me learn. Take him if you can.
