Comment:

I went to class everyday/took notes and did the homework and I got a C on the first test. There are only 4 tests and they're each 200 points. But he does give an EC quiz every other day. I ended up skipping class except for test days, taking notes from the book & doing the assignments, and got high B's or A's on the last three tests. HORRIBLE prof!

Comment:

Not helpful at all. He doesn't show the steps to problem solving, rather he does it himself expecting you to know what he did. Not a teacher I would recommend.

Comment:

I have Honestly been doing better just not going to his class, maybe show up once or twice and ask what sections we are going over and then use the internet and the text book to learn the material. he dose not count the homework so its pointless even going. Its money down the drain!!!!!!

If you do the homework (yes all 125 problems a day!) you will do excellent in his class.

He is a horrible teacher, I would never take him. The face that I payed to take his class disgusts me! People are dropping at a rapid rate, failing even faster. Warn your friends, SHEPLER is a GPA killing machine!

He is absolutely TERRIBLE! Waste of my money! Is completely rude when someone asks a question. EXPECTS you to know everything!! Should have retired a LONG time ago because I don't think he cares about his students anymore.One day in class there was 2 people, really?!

He is AWFUL! Worst teacher at FSU. I hate ever single class I go to. He doesn't teach. He doesn't care if you learn or not. He needed to retire YEARS ago. He's about 83. My grandma has more knowledge than this joke. He makes me rethink about attending this university.

Okay. This guy is extremely confusing!. Makes things more complicated than what they really are. I took algebra in high school && my trachers were more clearer then. I thank god I had previous knowledge on this subject. DON'T BUY THE TXT BOOK expensive && I didn't use it. If u think u need it buy it. Good luck...

Time for this guy to retire - Unfortunately CONM students are required to take this course - Even more unfortunate is the fact that this guy is the only one who teaches it - and he hates us. He clearly is not interested in helping students.

Comment:

Very easy if you understand if you?re good at math or have previously learned all of the material, but extremely difficult if you have not. It?s not helpful to go to his office hours. If you start to have trouble get a tutor immediately. Is occasionally condescending toward students, and expects you to tell him how to do his problems on the board.

Comment:

He very hard, pointless in all class discussions. Confusing person which makes the material even harder. Very hard to understand, he expects everyone to know the material 5 min ago. Very subjective in grading exams and quizes. Class is like having teeth pulled at a Kenny G concert. Beware of this man he may bite.
