Comment:

I had him for liberal arts math, still have no idea what that class was suppose to be but I've never wanted to get hit by a car so bad. This man can't teach, there is no extra credit and we only had 3 test the entire semester which did not have have any equations related to numbers. only number I ever saw was my failing grade. DROP HIS CLASS ASAP!!

Comment:

Had him my first semester & was afraid since his reviews are bad. I was really surprised though. He's a very intelligent man that really knows what he's teaching. If you actually listen or/and read through his notes you'll get the topic. Tests are easy and he has some special way of grading it that benefits you, trust me.

Comment:

Absolutely awful. Work he gives you is hard to understand, and then he basically makes you feel awful for not understanding it. Hated every second I had to do work for this class.

Comment:

This math course that I took was numerical theory. A class that only should be taken by math majors, so if you aren't one do not take this class. He talks in the third person and is just super weird. No one pays attention in class. He puts all the notes online so you might as well teach yourself.

Comment:

I was nervous to take an online class, especially a math one, but I'm glad I did. There were no tests but teaching yourself math from a document wasn't exactly easy. If you're determined to do well you'll get an A, but you have to purchase a special software for the assignments. Professor Stanton was clear about what he expected and graded fairly.

Comment:

This is one of those classes that you know from the first day you are gonna be in for some trouble. A bad prof that doesn't know how to teach. Uses the same set of notes and does not teach you how any of it works or why it makes sense. Really didn't learn anything in the course and would have failed if not for the free homework and module points.

Math For Liberal Arts online course. Must pay for $40 Software that's NOT compatible with MAC therefore had to use someone else's computer to do HW assignments!! waste of money on top of what you already pay to attend. plus assignments were difficult to understand. Just please stay away from this course best as you can.

Comment:

Rarely showed up but still got by. This class didn't help meh. He thinks he's helping, but he ain't. He thinks he's the source of your success. But I'm Derrick, I "worked hard to be this successful" without him. Put in the effort, and you'd get that $$$ and those grades too. I STUDIED A LOT, but it distracted me from dancing in empty classrooms.

Comment:

If you show effort, you will do fine. However, his notes are incoherent, and he spends way too much time on unnecessary topics. Very inefficient system with mandatory discussion posts, since most of the topics are redundant. Also, his lack of decency concerns many, he farts way too often and makes too many awful noises. Hue, hue, hue.

Comment:

Had a really hard time understanding the topics presented in class bc he literally just reads off his online notes. Gotta self-study aka. watch a bunch of youtube videos. He is a easy grader tbh. It's just the way he teaches makes it difficult for us to understand what's going on.

Comment:

I struggled in the beginning of his class. Thank God I found a friend in the class who helped me pass. Any time i tried to ask for help I got blown off. He is very hard to contact and takes at least a day, and several more messages to get back to you. I may have passed but I'll let everyone know to keep clear of him.

He's a very condescending and impatient man. Don't expect much help or guidence. If you struggle in math I strongly suggest you find another professor.

Comment:

You'll get a concussion from slamming your head repeatedly on the desk during his lectures. His nonsensical lectures will cripple your ears. If you want to avoid a seizure don't look directly at him. His "antics" will make you lose an IQ point every time they occur. Put up with him ONLY if you have to for your major.

Comment:

Unfortunately, he's the primary option to take Comp Sci, Linear Algebra, Intro to Math Thinking. If you DON'T HAVE TO TAKE him, run. I don't respect him as a doctor as his teaching methods are ewwy. Study hard with your peers, POST A LOT OF HELPFUL info for points in the discussion boards, flatter his man-child ego, play the game.

I made an account strictly to write about this professor. Dr. Stanton was an absolutely amazing teacher. He is an old school teacher and sticks to the script. He CLEARLY states what is expected. Discussion participation counts for 50% of ALL of the tests. If you participate fully and get a 30/50 on the actual test, you end up with an 80%.

Dr. Stanton's lectures were organized and instructions were easy to follow. I didn't had any interests in mathematics prior to taking his class but can clearly say that this course increased my understanding of mathematics and logical thinking.

Comment:

He doesn't help you learn anything. He reads off slides every class and posts the notes online, but it's not like that helps you when you don't understand. There are 3 tests, of which are fairly difficult considering his horrible teaching methods. You have to learn everything yourself. Post on the discussion board for the brownie points.

Took him for both MTH2700 & CSC1390. It may take some time to get use to how he teaches this class. It's true that you won't learn much but his exams are pretty easy, doable. Exams are usually the basic level questions, super short. If you are struggling in these 2 classes, talk A LOT in the discussion board! Note: Use PC, NOT MAC!

Comment:

The test consists of 2 tests and a final. No homework or textbook, just lectures. He does all the work on a computer program and makes the notes available right after class. He's a little boring and the material may be hard for those who are not good at algebra. Honestly though, not a terrible professor. His tests are easier than you would expect.
