Comment:
Lectures were boring and useless. Didn't know how to use the technology for clicker questions. I learned more from my lab TA in a day than I did from a semester of lectures. However, if you ask him questions, he'll help you out with what you don't get. Unfortunately, there are over 100 other students in the class who don't get anything either.

Started teaching 105 again - very organized for the first week or two. Lectures are dull and attendance isn't mandatory but you get bonus points for going. I have put almost no effort into this class and will get a B. An A is definitely attainable if you put in the effort.

Easy class. Extra points if you keep up attendance. On the last day of class he made announcements that made getting a good grade in the class pretty easy: if your hw grade hurt you he didn't include it in the grade, final replaces your lowest scoreetc. Material wasn't all completely useless like most Math classes are though lectures were boring

This class was easy but it's EXTREMELY BORING!!! The class is so easy, it's almost hard to get an A. I wouldn't particularly recommend taking this class from this professor, but if you end up in it, you'll do fine!

if you go to class, you get extra credit. VERY easy for someone who doesn't like or do well in math. Pay attention, and it is a breeze

Comment:
I don't know what these other people are talking about. Maybe in his lower level classes he is easier, but 558 was almost impossible. He was really good about the final grade, the only reason I got a C was because he made the C range from 60-75%. He is one of the most boring teachers I have ever had and spent about half an hour talking about Arthur

Here's the truth, He is very into math, so it is hard for him to relate to his students. He tries to make jokes, but he's really dry. Its an easy class mainly because its simple math but he doesn't explain it well to his students. Luckily he does a lot to keep the class average grade high (like throwing out grades). He does teaches both semesters.

What a waste of my time. Make sure that you take this Math 105 during first semester because he only teaches during second semester. Dr. Katz was dull and taught me nothing. He seemed bored and about ready to retire. Good luck to all

The class was somewhat a joke. He knows that no one takes this class unless they have to, so he doesnt expect to much. It's an easy class.

Incredibly easy...take this class if you want an easy A. There are 4 tests (including the final) and HW every week. At the end of the semester, he threw the HW out if it hurt your grade and let your grade on the final replace up to 2 previous tests...wow. Also, you get 30 extra credit pts for perfect attendence and class NEVER took a full 50 min

Great entry level math course! He is funny and makes a lot of alcohol references to make the class more fun. Oh yeah, and he has an example problem about grama being run over by a bus!

Bad teacher, I had to teach it to myself. Gave a couple of test that were way too long for a 50 minute period and could not answer some questions which lowered the test grade by20-30% even though I knew how to do them. Not very understanding and very arrogant when I talked to him in his office.

He is hysterical if you can get him talking about drugs, otherwise it's a good nap. To get a good grade you really do have to do the homework, which means you have to go to class everyday.

One of my most memorable professors, but I'm not sure why. I remember getting an A in the class, and thinking that I was stuck in 1985 the entire time, but not much else. Certainly don't remember whatever it is I purportedly learned at the time...If you want to enjoy college, take this guy.

If you dislike math, TAKE THIS CLASS! You will learn nothing, and recieve an A. It fulfills the required math class, and helps your GPA as well. He's a little random and bizarre, but the class is interesting.

He is hilarious b/c he obviously doesn't want to be teaching the class. He sounds like the "dry eyes" guy but is amusing. This class is SUPER EASY!

This class is a breeze! He wants to give away as many A's as possible as long as you show up and do the work.
