Comment:
While Dr. Benedict is a nice guy, he's a pretty tough teacher. Its true that the sample tests are essentially the real tests, however many of the concepts and math he teaches is not very clear at all. Often times he doesn't explain his methods, he just does the problems. I'm not a math savant so this doesn't work for me.

Comment:
Good professor, very helpful. Works many problems from the book. You have to do the homework to do well (even though he doesn't collect it), and the practice tests are basically the real tests. If you are a bad test taker beware, he only gives you 4 tests and that is the only thing your overall grade is based on.

Terrible teacher, did not learn anything from him! Do not take him, had to teach my self. Has only four tests and thats all the grades you get in the class so you have to do very well on the tests to have a good grade.

Comment:
Doc Jim is a great teacher if you like lecture professors that don't look for class input. He doesn't spend much time explaining the topics, but spends a lot of the class working problems out of the book. He throws you in the pool of math and tells you to swim. You will definitely get more out of the class if you do your homework and ask questions

Great professor, always 30 mins early to class to help out with any problems students may have. Uses the online workbook and grades derived from there. Hardly tried in his class and got a B.

If you are not a math wiz do not take him. He does not teach so be prepared to teach yourself. If you do not have hours to devote to self lessons, steer clear of Dr. Benedict.

Comment:
Doesn't explain concepts very well. The first month didn't teach a single thing, just did problems on the board from homework we ALREADY turned in and had to teach ourselves how to do. After the first test began to teach a little bit. He gives practice tests which are nearly identical to the real thing. Know how to work these and you'll do fine

Comment:
This teacher was so hard. The first test only 5 student out of 30 students pass with a C. He publicly embarrassed those who failed the first test by calling out the names of the people who failed. His test are hard. His requires you to know the mineral before you enter the class for the first time.

Pretty interesting teacher. His outfits take a while to get used to, along with his teachign style and humor. Biggest help for this class: KNOW THE STUDY GUIDES PERFECTLY. The tests are basically the same as the study guide, with a few numbers switched around. do not take this class if you are not willing to teach yourself a bit.

He gives all the notes needed, sample tests are extremely similar to actual test, and he is always available for help.

Fairly fast passed. He really knows he's stuff, gives partial credit if you show you're work so it's a little bit harder to fail but the class still isn't a breeze. If you miss his class he won't fry you, but because of the level of mathmatics i wouldn't recommend skipping.

If you want a teacher who ACTUALLY knows what he is doing/teaching I would advise you to make another selection. He thinks he's super funny and he's really rude!

I did the homework, studied for the tests, and still ended up with a C. If you are familiar with calc before going into his class you will be fine. Otherwise stay away from this guy.

He was captivating for about the first 15 seconds of class. It went down hill fast after that. He was completely unorganized in his presentation and his example problems were rarely helpful. Also, his in class algebra skills were close to a 3rd graders.
