Comment:

This guy is a Horrendous teacher. I was only so lucky that the class was easy for me (no past trig experience, mind you). He's available one half hour AFTER CLASS, so you're pretty much stuck teaching yourself. If you know Mr. Pappas, he would probably be willing to help you with some comprehension. Flash cards are a mathematician's best friend.

Comment:

While the material is taught in a decent manner, he makes it more than obvious how much he dislikes to teach. He only uses examples out the book, is unavailable outside of class, and doesn't cooperate with students. He wouldn't even provide formulas on the cumulative final. The class was pretty miserable even though I understood the material.

oh the worst teacher. plz kill me now. How do you suppose to study for his tests when you dont understand a single word from his mouth? Well, the answer is "nothing will". If you had stats before this class, u wont have a hard time. However, if u r new to this course, u r screwed

Nice quiet guy who is actually quite intelligent. His tests are simplified versions of in-class/homework problems and he is an easy-fairly easy grader. Enjoys joking when the students will allow.

Comment:

I dont like this prof. He cant speak clearly & makes mistakes he shouldnt make. You would think that if he isnt going to let you use a calculator on the test, that he would design the tests to not come out to crazy decimal numbers...take Pappas if you can

I really dislike this professor. He is boring, makes mistakes on simple math problems often, teaches straight from the book, and was once over five minutes late with no apology to the class which was waiting for him outside the locked classroom.

Really nice guy, just booring. He means well and does know his stuff. Teaches straight from the text book... ask a question that isn't in the book, he may just look at you blankly.
