Go to lecture, he passes out a class handout and it's turned in for points. Do the homework online, the website has many useful tools. Practice exams given before each exam to help study with 1-page front/back of handwritten notes are allowed on the tests.

Professor Zeitzew is the best math teacher I have ever had. He explains everything step by step. He gives alot of homework but it will he. He let's you have a cheat sheet, review practice test and gives out a lot of extra credit. You can't fail unless your lazy.

Comment:

Professor Zeitzew is pretty chill and funny teacher. Assigns a solid amount of homework on MyMathLab but the tests are very easy, AND he gives you a full cheat sheet front and back to use on the test. He was very nice too because I ended the class with an 87% but he bumped my grade to an A. Also gives extra credit opportunities. Glad i chose him.

Really good teacher but you basically have to really study for this class , homework is online ! If you study and do the homework you will Forsure be fine ! Just make sure you go to tutoring in the math building there so helpful they helped me really understand the material , if you don't like to study this class isn't for you !

was a really good class, even tho I did struggle towards the middle but it was my fault because I didn't study the right material , his homework is on my stat lab I actually like this better because you actually get to really learn it better rather than the book and if you need help please go to tutoring in the math building they are so awesome!

Comment:

Professor Z is a cool guy all around but (as he says MULTIPLE times,) teaching is only a hobby. So expect a half assed course. The tests were easy at first bc we had a mock, but after the 3rd he totally switched up the material from the mock to the actual. The hw were all from mystatslab which were all HARDER than the class's. Would not take again

Was pleasantly surprised with everything about this class. Do your homework and pay attention in class, he gives you plenty of ways to help yourself, as in extra credit, do it! I would definitely take again. I think he is a good teacher. Gives partial credit, don't be afraid to take him, I couldn't be happier. Take him in the Spring or Fall.

Comment:

1. Littlie boring class but a caring professor 2. Like other Math 150 classes, too much homework (harder than test but not difficult just need to put so much effort) 3. The easiest math test ever in my life he offers pre-test 4. I do not recommend him for the person who is looking forward a fun class

Comment:

If you want a caring professor dont take him. He has no office hours and doesn't care about his students. He speaks to us like were engineers. He never asks if we understand the material he speaks about and acts inconvenienced when we have questions.

Comment:

If you're utterly ignorant of statistics or using a graphing calculator , don't take this class. His lectures are really dry and he overly complicates them. But if you do, watch some YouTube videos on statistics, like Professor Leonard. He is teaches this course a lot better. Otherwise, you're setting yourself for failure.

Comment:

Professor Zeitzew is very cool and approachable. I took him for Statistics, which is not an easy class, but he makes it as clear as possible by trying to do many examples in class. There's assignment but it's not difficult at all! Take him!

Comment:

Great professor, easy to understand and gives very fair tests. Teaching is his hobby so not a lot of after class hours but he'll do any question you ask in class so it makes up for it. Funny guy. Ive taken other math 190 professors and he is by far the best. Collects homework on the days of tests and lets you use a full notebook pg front and back

Comment:

Professor Zeitzew's tests are very easy as long as you do the homework. I took this class this summer and I felt like I learned the material very well. Tests were closed notes, but he allowed a cheat sheet (both sides). I got an A in this class and felt this class was easy compared to the few times I've retaken it at LB. Overall he's great and gets you into the habit of using Wolfram Alpha to check your work for the hw. Will give you full credit on the hw if you make an effort on all sections.

Comment:

I had him for summer so attendance is mandatory. But he is a good overall teacher. He explains things well and is open to any questions that will help out the individual or the whole class. It was his first time teaching Calculus 1 but I think he did well being thrown into it 2 weeks before the summer started.
