Comment:
Oh man where do I start. Buddy John is good guy ,but a terribly teacher. He talks so low sometimes its hard to hear. You're basically going to have to teach your self calculus if you want to learn. His homework and test are fairly easy. It should be hard to get an A in his class. He is there for you if you need help or something.

The guy is genuine and is the kind of person you want to like but he is such a poor lecturer. If you sit anywhere but the first two rows, you won't hear/understand him because his voice is soft and quiet. Overall good guy.

Buddy is a great guy, but an awful lecturer, be prepared to study the book to do the homework. His study guides are exactly like his tests though, just a few number changes

Do not take this class from this teacher! The book is Bible, you learn useless stuff (like converting to Egyptian). Learned nothing. Even if you sit in the front row he's hard to hear. He grades on a curve but good luck understanding his grading system! If I could go back I would've waited to take this another semester then take it with him!

Really nice prof. test can be a lil tricky but if you study his study guides you'll be fine. If you want an A in his class do all his home works and study his study guides

Very nice old guy, but not a great teacher. Gives comprehensive tests-so you will do a fair amount of learning from his study guides, but you'll have to be good at understanding the textbook (that's where I did most of my learning for this Calc III class). He grades somewhat leniently so you have a good chance of getting a decent grade.

Nice guy, knowledgeable. If all I needed was calc I, I'd be ok. But since I need to understand concepts to advance, I need someone that teaches different. Explains word problems in ways I don't understand, don't think anyone else did either.

I agree with other people.He is a very nice old man, but if you take this class just be ready to teach yourself.Half the time I dont think anyone really knew what he was talking about and be prepared for alot of homework.

Comment:
He reads to the class right out of the book. Does overkill on the homework about 60+ problems a week; & assignes the homework before he even teaches about it. He is also always making mistakes on the board while he is teaching problems & my class always was correcting him.Not to mention he is older then dirt an you can hardly hear anything he says.

Really nice guy with an easy grading scheme but he teaches sections AFTER the homework for that section is due so it's necessary to get help beforehand. He would make an excellent math history teacher but he's not your best choice for Calc.

As everyone has already said, extremely nice old guy but a HORRIBLE teacher. He does the problems on the board in the longest, hardest way possible. He gets lost in the middle of doing problems and has to give up half the time. I do not understand anything that he is saying. It's a class on Elementary Mathematics...yeah..Don't take him!

He is a very nice man, but is very difficult to understand in class. Often gets lost while doing problems on the board. Has a nice grading curve, but it may not be enough. You have to teach yourself the material.

Comment:
This man needs to retire! He spent a half hour talking about washing machines and totally irrelevant stuff! I had to go to the math lab before every class to get the homework explained to me again because he makes the math much harder than it needs to be. I switched into another trig class and now have over 100%. I would avoid this basket case.
