Comment:

Really nice guy and seems to care about students. Make sure to take good notes from his lectures and practice A LOT for his tests because they're not easy. Online hw is mandatory and he gives soooooooo many problems from the book (which is helpful for practice). Final exam was 7 chapters and 3 hours long. If you're confused, SPEAK UP.

Comment:

Prof Igo really tries to help you succeed and goes out of his way to help you. He is almost always accessible and gets back to you immediately. On a side note, he is a wizard always getting to class on the exact time it starts and pretty much knows who you are day 1. As for the class, it is very test focused and he doesn't go in-depth, teaching.

I really do not understand how there are any bad ratings at all. Professor Igo has been by FAR the best professor I have taken. He explains the math and makes sure everyone is on track. After ever quiz and exam he gives out these progress reports that tell you want grades you need to get on the other assignments to pass +theres lots of extra credit

Comment:

Despite what people are saying here, Prof. Igo is a real gem. He really cares about his students and gives all practice needed to do well on quizzes and exams. If you're not doing well, then you need to put some more effort. He's usually available during office hours and doesn't hesitate to help his students. He's also very organized.

Comment:

Professor Igo is not a horrible person but he is a horrible professor. Be prepared to teach yourself EVERYTHING and still fail his tests. you can prepare as much as you want for his tests but he always seems to put in problems that aren't covered in class or they are lightly covered in the homework. I would definitely NEVER recommend this professor

Jeff Igo is a really bad professor because his tests and quizzes were impossible to pass. He goes really fast in class and talks to the board all the time. I will not suggest you take him.

Comment:

This professor speeds through the notes way too fast- he doesn't even give us a chance to understand what is being taught. His homework questions are WAY easier than the test questions. No review or guidance is given regarding what will be on the tests. He's a nice guy but he needs to improve his teaching skills.

Comment:

By far the toughest teacher I've ever taken. My class was full in the beginning of the semester and after the first exam, the class was less than half full. His exams are SUPER difficult compared to his quizzes/ homework. He will try to help but it will just make everything more confusing. My recommendation? DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:

This professor is a good teacher but he only goes over the easiest problems in class and the homework is the same way as well. The tests are the hardest problems. I recommend that if you have to take this class DO NOT take it in summer because the planning for an 8 week course is absolutely atrocious. Out of my class of 10 only 3 students passed.

I am not sure where all the crappy reviews are coming from. I struggle very badly in math to the point i barely passed precalculus. Although i barely passed he definitely taught it well and was incredibly helpful when it came to asking questions. Yes it took a lot of work just as all other math classes do. Grades fair on exams.

Comment:

Great guy, makes you feel like he knows what he's doing, but really over complicates things and teaches you the hard way to do just about everything. Homework questions are super easy and then the tests are like the olympics in comparison. He really does try to grade fairly and give partial credit on exams, however, it just isn't enough.

First off, I would like to clear up some past ratings I have seen. Yes, his classes are generally kind of hard. Yes, his tests are kind of tough. Math 105 is a tricky class if you don't put effort into it. He will email back within a short pd. Of time. Very accessible. He's very clear with what he wants. If you want to actually learn, take Igo.

Glaring disconnect between what is taught and what is tested for. Will do easiest examples, and then test on hardest homework questions. Other than that, he's a nice guy.

Comment:

Guy teaches you section 5 while you're being tested on section 3. Homework is very easy, but the tests are the olympics compared to it. Yeah, he does give partial credit on tests, but they are just way too hard compared to the work he gives us in class and homework. Expect to be teaching yourself a lot of the material.

Comment:

This Professor is a nice guy, but if your are not willing to study at least 2 hours a day for his class then dont even bother taking him. His teaching is unique and understandable but his tests are very difficult to do especially in the amount of time he gives you. To sum it up you have to understand the material better than him to get an A.

Comment:

This class was very difficult. Even after attending every class and taking notes AND completing every homework assignment, I was still failing. I managed to withdraw, but I would say do not take his class. He makes his notes too simple, the tests are nothing compared to what he does in class, and NEVER gives enough time to complete tests or quizzes

He lectures the entire class. If you understand the subject really well, then you don't need to show up. We had 4 tests and 4 quizzes. We were given a week to do the homework.

Comment:

He mad pre-calc the easiest thing ever .His lectures are the best, But believe me. I never studied my notes. It doesnt mean dont take notes, because he does provide mandatory online homework which is the only thing i studied and i got an A, easily. Web Assign. He does give out optional book work, not required, however the book itself is required
