Comment:

Very interested in u succeeding. Tests are graded by points not amount of q's correct. You can raise your grade by getting help from tutors or spending extra time on things you have difficulty. For me, very difficult to keep up with homework since its all due at the end of semester. Overall good teacher, you just have to put in your work too.

Comment:

Intimidating at first as he has zero patience for silliness. I love this guy; he has rescued me from the depths of math hell and now I'm able to teach others. His formulas are easily understood and remembered as long as you follow his instructions to the end. Do not give up, even when his "one question" policy leaves you fuming mad!He's my hero!

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class and teacher. Prof. Richardson is fair and caring. He has a short lecture time, after which he circulates to answer questions and offer help one-on-one. He dismissed class at 8pm for bus riders,but students can stay. Further he s tips and examples about real life application of the materials, e.g. hiring tests.

Comment:

He is very intimidating, very rude. He goes way to fast while at the board. He does go around after lecture to ask if you need help, but if you don't agree with him then he is rude. He doesn't tolerate tardiness, which is a good thing.

Okay! This man will bore you to tears! You will be wondering what the good reviews are for. But trust me.. he teaches over and over a few simple concepts that will be VERY inmportant for your next math class. His teaching style sucks, you are not allowed to ask questions but, his way works!And he ends up giving A's out like candy in the end!

Amazing teacher. Gives all HW assign. in beginning of class. Daily gave small lecture about chapter and made rounds around to each student offering help. He really cares you understand/ get a good grade. @ end of semester he goes over how much youve done and rounds your grade up.

Comment:

Since I was young, I have always been terrified of Math. Never quite get understood why Math was incomprehensible! never did have a teacher that cleared my confusion. But, that all changed when I enrolled in Professor Richardson's class. He is very intelligent, patient, helpful, and understanding. He will teach you to learn how to love Math.

Great teacher! 4 tests with a very fair grading scale,all homework(notebook)is due on the last class & is worth 2 test grades-makes it very easy to bring your grade up if you need too! Gives a brief lecture each class and then goes around to each student a min. of 2 times to see if you need any help. He really cares and does what he can to help you

Professor Richardson truly cares about his students and wants to see his students succeed! He is extremely structured, which provides room to help students more one on one. I took this class a couple of semesters ago, but felt that it was important to write about how wonderful he is! He will spend as much time as you need. He is truly wonderful!!

If you have had trouble in math, this is the professor for you! He makes even the most complicated problems seem easy by breaking them down into smaller problems. He has a lot of faith in each student's ability and really cares if you understand the material. He also teaches practical applications so you can see the relevance of math in your world.

Good teacher. Made the problems all seem simple. Really knows how to break the problem down into smaller easier ones. He definetly will get mad, but only at the ones that deserve it. He doesn't hold a grudge againsts them though.He really cares about student sucess Show some respect and he will respect you. Same goes with anyone. recommended

Comment:

Very experienced and knows his math! Showed me some tricks that makes fractions and algebra way easier. Do not interupt him or let your phone go off in class! That stuff annoys me too. Has a different teaching style i've never sean before. While he lectures he does not take questions. He will walk around the class at the end and help individually.

What an outstanding instructor! He obviously cares about his students and wants to make sure that they learn the material (even if he has to go over it time and time again). I wish he was teaching MATH 100. I would take him in a heartbeat!
