Comment:

People take Mr. Parker's dry sense of humor out of context. I really enjoyed his class. He teaches you short cuts to make Math more enjoyable. He does grade tough but fair. He was always available for questions and willing to make sure you understand the material. He wants you to succeed. He does love some Krispy Kreme Donuts.

Mr. Parker is the best math teacher I have had so far! I have taken 4 math classes from him so far and will continue to take his classes. He is so helpful and will work with you on your grade if he sees that you're working hard. He is funny and is always willing to help you.

Mr. Parker is the best math teacher I've ever had. Although some people may take his sense of humor sarcastic, you really just have to get to know him. Mr. Parker is very understanding when it comes to grading and homework. As long as you talk to him he will try to help you the best way he can.

Mr. Parker is a great instructor. Even though he doesn't necessarily lecture or teach the entire class, he has always been very helpful whenever a student did have a question. Very easy to get along with and will allow absences if you absolutely need them without hurting your attendance.

Mr. Parker is an awesome teacher! While some people might view is sarcasm as quirky or mean it seemed to me that he was trying to keep the mood light and fun. Completing all homework is necessary if you want to pass the tests. If you are confused to ask him! He is willing to help!

You MUST do all the homework if you want to pass this class. The tests are hard but as long as you complete the homework assignments you should pass. I would take him again!

Prof. Parker was great. Helpful and understanding. I really messed up early on but he understood and let me make it up. He didn't hand me anything, I had to work for it. I hate math, and I really enjoyed his class.

His gruffness aside William Parker is without a doubt one of the best math instructors at Greenville Tech. If you get him count yourself lucky. He helps those that helps themselves.

Comment:

Personally thought this professor needs to take it easy with all the jokes, its very annoying & the man moves to fast when hes teaching , he needs to slow down and last but not least it seems he is always trying to push tests ahead of schedule i don't think this is good for all students.

Good Instructor, goes a bit fast for a 48 year old student. My mistake: I took 4 classes during the condensed Summer Semester, my first time back to school in 18 years. DO NOT make that mistake! Missed a week for a family trip and never recovered in Algebra. Hawkes Learning System has flaws and only shows 1 method to solve equations.

Very good instructor, goes a little fast. Bad timing for me. I took a full load in Summer semester my first time back to college in 18 years. DO NOT make my mistake! Hawkes learning system has flaws and shows only 1 method to solve while there are different/easier methods to solve. I have to re-take it as many people do. Got help from tutor.

Absolutely loved his class and upset he is not teaching 102! He is funny, keeps the mood up, jokes but also makes learning easy! I am HORRIBLE at Math and he has been the only teacher to get through to me! Just make sure you don't use your cell phone in class lol!

Mr. Parker was the BEST math teacher I've EVER had! I am terrible at math and I passed his class with an A. He will review things as many times as u need or ask. He is very thorough and all around just an enjoyable teacher! Very funny & makes math.. fun :) Never thought I would say that.I was heartbroken when I found out he didnt teach 102!
