Comment:
Hardest Math class I have ever taken. Class average is abysmal, but in every lecture he goes on about how easy the current topic is. Grading criteria is unclear, almost no partial credit, expect to get 0s on a problem for things like flipped signs, simplification etc. He gives decent test reviews, similar to exams, but no solutions. Tons of HW.

With this professor be ready to complete assignments including homework and test his way. If you do not work out the problem the way he taught you, you will fail. I've never struggled with math until his class, he also moves quickly and doesn't have multiple ways of teaching the topics. If you don't understand you have to figure it out on your own.

Awful, would not take again. Everything must be done the way he teaches it or else it is wrong.

Comment:
His teaching is a little difficult to understand. Grading system is based off points and the homework is out of 2 so if you don't get over half right you get a 0. He will not email you back unless your spending him an emailing containing your assignment if your not coming to class. Won't tell you assignments missed. Homework every day.

I took his class and he told us what we needed to know for exams. His study guides for the exams were very similar, if not identical to the exams. If you had any question, he would answer it and not make you feel stupid. He is a great teacher and I would certainly take him again!!!!!

This is the most understanding professor I have literally ever had. My points online were not counting, literally, none. He not only opened everything back up for me to catch up but opened the exam up (without having to get points) so I could take it and not make a 0. If I ever see his name on another math course I will be the 1st to sign up for it

Disclaimer, took this class online. I received one e-mail from this professor all semester, he was not involved at all, and did absolutely no teaching. If you can teach yourself algebra using MyMathLab, awesome, then you'll do fine. If you need any help at all, look somewhere else. He is not accessible and not helpful.

He assigns homework almost every class period. He grades tough, but don't be afraid because there will be a curve. He gives out exam reviews that are very similar to his exams. Do the review and you can do well on the test.

If you are a math major or a pretty little thing you will be fine. 50% of class dropped him by mid term, he will not remember you name unless your a blond pin up girl and he is rude to all but the ones he does not have to answer questions for. Two people can have the same answer on a test and one will get credit while the other gets 0.

He could be tough in the beginning but if you would ask him for help in anything he won't let you go without satisfying your question. Also he gives lots of Extra Credit which in the end is good for your grade. I would say he is one of the best professors i had. Thanks Professor McClendon.

Much easier than the regular College Algebra class. Everything is through MyMathLab and you are able to improve your homework grade until you are satisfied with the grade. You have 3 attempts for the 3 exams except for the final. Absolutely recommend this online class.

Comment:
Took for calc 3 and 4... Gives a quiz over the hw every class- they are open notes/hw so if you do the hw, you can ace every quiz. Grades easily on tests and gives a similar study guide. If you don't go to class, you won't pass because of the quizzes, but it's not necessary to pay attention. Gives answers and shows work in office hours.

I'm taking his online class and I really like it! He responds to emails quickly and is more than willing to extend deadlines for you. The class is entirely through My Math Lab, which has tons of examples and is really great to learn from. The assignments are due in bulk, so you're not stressing all the time about getting stuff done. Great class!!

It's only the beginning of the semester; I'm never confused that much in my life. I passed Calculus 3 with an A. For the last two quizzes, I had a F. He spends most of the class talking about homework problems, hands out the quizz and collects it back. He spends 5 minutes talking about the new materials, and we have another quizz next class period.

Comment:
He is a funny guy, he cracks a lot of typical dad jokes. He is clearly a math genius and for some reason the school has him teaching College Algebra. He is way too smart to be teaching this class and does not know how to "dumb down" the material for those of us who are not math majors and just need this class for the credits.

Not very helpful in my experience. the lectures we did in class didn't pertain to the homework that well. Didn't even know when his own homework was due so often students were confused and often angered.

I'm a straight A student, and I dropped his class with a 56%. He was NO help during office hours, and was offensive during class when I asked for help.
