Comment:
Attendance is mandatory and that can weigh heavily on your grade. If you miss class often, it'll show. Homework is online and it is rather easy and it is also easy points as well. I recommend to do every single assignment and you should do pretty well in the class. He isn't the most entertaining person and he tends to mess up during lectures.

Comment:
He does not explain how to do the work. He works through problems in his head and does not show how to do any of it. If you miss class, make sure you email him or else anything missed cannot be made up. He tries to be a nice guy, but he is not the best college teacher.

Do not rely on the take home tests to help you with studying for the test. There were even many instances where the stuff we had on the test was not taught to us. If you ask how to do a problem, you will be given a blank stare.

Comment:
Teacher is very boring and, lectures tend to drag. There is barley homework leaving all of your points in the class up to the four test that are given plus a final exam. Doesn't like students being on their cell phone let along having them out. Very hard to ask questions because, teacher assumes you know everything as he does.

Comment:
Mr. Block is a pretty good math teacher. He is really boring but he is good at explaining the material. The class was fairly easy if you put effort into it. There were four exams and then the final, which is cumulative. Also had four take home assignments. Homework is not graded. The notes he gives goes along with the tests. Would take again

He lectured the material. Thats about it. He was not very helpful. The class average was 67% by midterm, so I dropped. I felt he was very lazy about teaching.

Mr. Block does a great job of explaining concepts, and his exams are fairly easy. If math isn't your strongest subject, you'll definitely benefit from his class. I hated math, but after completing this course, I am more confident in my ability.

Comment:
No complaints about him. Went through enough examples without dragging things out. Got out early pretty often. Take-home quizzes. 4 tests with extra credit, I got 100 or better on all of them. If you're willing to pay attention and go over things you aren't clear on, even if you have to do it on your own, you should be fine.

He is very boring but tries to make sure every single student knows exactly what they are doing. He is very nice and will do anything to make sure he is explaining it in a way that is helpful. Tests are not that hard and neither is the homework assignments.

Very good teacher. He is a high school teacher so he keeps along those lines and explains everything very well and in depth. He doesn't make it seem easier than it really is, and he makes sure he at least gave you the knowledge you need to go into other classes. AWESOME TEACHER!

Great guy. He may come off as a little rough around the edges at first but he is a great prof once the course takes off. If you ever have any questions don't be afraid to ask him. He may seem tough to approach but really he is very easy to work with. He reminds me of a big teddy bear. Don't be afraid.

Comment:
Block is good. He's a high school teacher, so his pace is slow and his explanations are clear. The problem is paying attention to them. He tries to make jokes and make it interesting, but his voice is fairly monotonous, so it's hard to pay attention. But his tests are easy, and lectures are clear and comprehensive, so it evens out.
