Comment:
He makes math bearable. He's a funny guy who is passionate about his job, and it really shows. He's very helpful with students, but you have to work hard in the class. Overall, I would take another class with him, if I weren't done with my math classes.

Comment:
He just didn't teach. Lazy. Doesn't lecture, and relies on some statistics to emphasize that he may not have to lecture depending on how many students took the class before. Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Comment:
If you take his class during the first semester, beware that he follows common core to the letter. It's a fast paced class until half of it drops. He knows what he's doing. He's a good father. What he is looking for is your perseverance. He does care about your $ being saved, but wants students to truly learn the material. Take Calc 1 beforehand.

Comment:
If you take it in the summer, it is a high paced class. He integrates technology into his classroom, stays up very late to answer student questions, and knows his audience well. Don't let your problems interfere with this professor's credibility. His tests are master's level tests, however. You need to open your eye 110% every single day to pass.

Comment:
This was a wonderful class. Fair warning: He does rely on a lot of trick questions -- he wants you to think about the answers. He is extremely organized which makes it easier for you to navigate the class. He's a fun guy and somehow manages to have plenty of energy to keep lectures entertaining. Would absolutely recommend.

Smart man but sometimes doesn't know how to explain things the best. Can be funny. Only be prepared to take this class if you know you can work ahead by yourself.

Comment:
He does not know how to talk to people without having a smart comment and he never directly answers questions. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK!!! This class was easy for me because I'm good at math, but if you struggle with technology (most of the work is done using computers), you will not pass.

Gives so much work!! Also gives no formal tests or homework so your grade is solely based on group projects/online discussions in which aren't that clear and you're expected to help fellow classmates out by finding outside sources for what they were trying to find. Also really inconvenient due dates (Sundays at 5?? c'mon now)

Comment:
Teaches you all the shortcuts for finite, and they can get very confusing if you've already learned the long ways, but he will help to explain everything outside of class if you ask him to. Good quality professor, and tries his best to make the class entertaining.

Most of the work is done on the computer. The tests are really hard and worth a lot of points. I went into it thinking I would get math out of this class, instead I learned how to use mathlab.
