Comment:
College mathematics is the most basic math at Columbia. It is incredibly easy, practically too much so. He explains things well, but they are concepts I learned in 5th grade. He's also a strange person. He went on a tangent about how all crazy people have syphilis on the first day of class for no actual reason. Also lets students out very early.

Comment:
He was a good teacher... for the 2 seconds he would teach each class. He would never fully understand the question being asked and then would go on a tangent for 5 minutes in hopes that something random he said was the answer to the question. He doesn't understand how to use moodle either. The notes were supposed to be online but never were.

I did not take his class, but he was my tutor this semester. Very nice, extremely helpful, and patient! He has an accent, yes, but he is easy to understand. He is essentially why I am not failing my math class. Highly recommended.

Funny guy, tries to make things interesting. His accent isn't that bad, but some people seem to have issues with it at times. You do most of your homework in class which you need for credit anyway. Best 2 out of 3 on the quizzes.

He's hard to understand at times because of his accent. But you can avoid going to class because he doesn't count attendance into your grade like other teachers.

Comment:
Its hard to classify this guy. He's got the best of intentions, and really helps, but the absolute worst problem is that he almost completely ignores the syllabus, and moves WAY too slowly. He reiterates the past weeks work every time someone has a question, which really sucks when you spend half of your class with him doing what you did last week.

Though his accent gets in the way sometime, he is a very good teacher that is more than willing to help.

Comment:
I had marketing math and the class was insultingly easy. Avoid buying the book. The hard thing to understand is David-he even makes errors in his own addition. Check all assignments are done, he forgets to bring some of them up but smacks you for it later
