Comment:

This class was okay. Carlton definitely knows what he is talking about, but this class gave me anxiety. He is not afraid to call you out, which is sometimes funny and other times rude. Grades are competitive, so you have to show up to class and go up to the board.

Comment:

Grades are a competition. Those of us who put in A-work recieved less than we deserved because one or two sought extra credit. When I attempted to argue this with him, his response was one of condescension.

Comment:

Dr. Carlton is AmAzIng!!! I loved having him and wish that he taught more courses just so I could take him again! I learned so much in his class and he is one of the only math teachers I have ever understood so clearly. He's stand offish at first, but just give him a chance, you won't regret it.

Comment:

This man makes no sense when he speaks. Literally contradicts almost every comment he gives when criticizing your response. So so so rude overall. Definitely one of those professors that only teach to fill time during retirement.

Comment:

his class is very straightforward. gives a problem packet for every test, goes over it in class, then you have a test. each student has the opportunity to go to the board for extra credit, and I would definitely recommend doing so. I thought he was hilarious. overall, great professor and definitely knows his stuff. would recommend to anyone.

Dr Carlton is a great man who really cares that you understand math. Easy, basic Math. Only 3 tests and you can use your work packet on all of them.

Comment:

At first I thought Carlton was just a mean old man who hated anyone who didn't know how to do math. Then, I went and spoke with him in his office hours and loved him ever since. You do have to go to the board for extra points on the tests, but you also get to use your packets on those. Overall, he is a great professor and an easy A.

Comment:

Behind his Grumpy-Old-Man facade, Dr. Carlton is actually pretty chill. Personally, I think my class broke him a little with our insistence to be disobedient, but eventually he just started to go along with it. He does make you go to the board and sometimes he can be condescending. But his tests are pretty easy and all-in-all he's a decent guy.

Comment:

This man was by far the rudest man I have ever met. He shouldn't be allowed to teach. His class is very passable if you do the extra credit option and work problems out on the board... The problem with that is, if you're not really a math person and you're not sure what you're doing, he is likely to call you out and embarrass you. Drop him now.

Comment:

While the class is beyond easy and your grade comes from 3 multiple choice exams you can use your notes on, I wouldn't recommend the class. When you have to go up to the board to explain problems, any mistake leads to a fatal roasting. He assumes we know no math, telling us we aren't smart. Take if you want an easy A, but can take an insult.

Comment:

He seems harsh at first but he's Ok. Your grade is composed of 3 multiple choice tests with 10 questions each. Each test is open notes and if you've done your packet you'll be fine. You'll get lots of extra credit if you go to the board and work out problems. In high school I never had anything higher than a C, but finished with a 140% with him.

He's funny and a great teacher. He will respect you as long as you respect him. If you disrespect him then good luck. He will call you out and embarrass you if you get on his bad side.

Comment:

Do not take Dr. Carlton. I promise he makes MTH121 way harder than it needs to be. I am an A/B student and almost didn't pass! My worst class in college so far and only because of him. Not to mention he has a bad attitude and even yelled at a girl for going to the bathroom once. Save yourself some trouble and take someone else.

Comment:

I hated math before I took Carlton for 121. He's certainly an acquired taste, but be assured you will respect him if you see through his intensity. Math is so much more understandable after this class with him and I couldn't be more greatful. If you're willing to be attentive, he's willing to help you.

Honestly, as long as you follow his rules and participate, there is no way to fail. He may be a little on the rude side, but f you do things the way he likes them done, you'll be fine. He really is a good teacher; he cares about what he's teaching.

Comment:

At first I was intimidated by him but as the days went on I learned to really like him. He definitely has a dry sense of humor but laugh at his jokes. He talks really low so pay attention. He hates phones so just put them away for the 50 mins you're in there and be respectful. 3 total tests including final and gives extra credit. Super easy class!

Carlton is a great professor. He may seem tough at first, but if you participate and pay attention, then you'll realize he is awesome! He gives tons of extra credit and the tests are a lot like the homework. I would suggest Carlton!

Comment:

Dr. Carlton is very dry. You must be able to stand your own and not be afraid to put yourself out there. 3 tests- 10 MC questions a piece. Tests are open note and extra credit is given if you have good attendance and do problems on the bored. Very easy class if you go and put in some effort. Needed for nursing !
