Comment:

Nice guy and funny at times but myself and many other students agree that his method of teaching doesn't reach multiple learning types which makes him a terrible professor. If you learn by seeing something one time with little explanation, take his class. Otherwise, DON'T!! And he makes you remember all the trig identities!!

Comment:

"I came with the building." That was his way of letting us know he has taught forever. Great teacher. Straight forward, No BS, and really gave enormous opportunities for success. There is no reason for doing poorly in this class. Open the book and read. Do problems on your own. He is worth the time!

No idea how ANYONE could think this guy isn't an amazing teacher. He's funny and very intelligent. I would take every math class I ever needed to take with him if I could. I highly recommend him. He isn't rude or mean, just can get a bit facetious at times. I like that, but hey, some people may not! Loosen up!

Comment:

Fun old guy who cracks jokes. Material is tough depending on your background and how well you do the "optional" homework. Its a math class, so do the homework and study and you'll be fine. He is a fair grader, and if you show improvement he tends to be pretty lenient in the final grades. Put the effort into his classes and you'll succeed.

Comment:

Tony's not a very easy teacher, but as long as you pay attention during class, you'll pass the tests. He makes you think, but there's not tricks on the tests. He makes you earn the A. He was nice enough to let me borrow his book. Always there (during office hours) to answer your questions.

An excellent teacher. Really knows his material. Is crystal clear and consistent in his delivery so if you don't understand the material, it is your own fault. Go to class, listen, do the homework and you will learn the material. Not for everyone since his style and humor are unique. If you realize he enjoys what he's doing, you'll enjoy too.

Comment:

He does not collect HW but you need to do it to pass. You need to be in class as he does not teach from the text. You will do well from his notes only. Study from class notes and calculator assignments. Final is tricky so practice the material from end of semester a lot. He's a great teacher who expects you to be an adult.

Best teacher I ever had. He is a great teacher. He is a very smart and funny guy. He has an interesting sense of humor. Math always isn't easy but he explains things really good, he is professional and makes math VERY understandable. I was lucky to take his class. Highly Recommend.

Comment:

I can't say this is an easy class, because it's not. But he's very fair about your grade. 3 tests (100 pts each), plus final, and 4 25 point assignments. He either gives you the average of your grades, or even above that if you really flubbed one of the tests but were consistant on the others. I don't like stats, but he's a good teacher.

Comment:

I haven't taken his class yet, but I want to because of the previous comment. I don't want to learn any less than an Ivy League school just because I can't afford it. Community Colleges need to be tough and not dumbed down. If you can't earn a 70, you shouldn't be able to transfer it because it'll hurt you later not understanding it.
