Just repeat back what he says and you'll do fine. Nothing new or inspiring. He piggybacks of others often. Very patronizing and condescending to people. Always thinks he's right.

This professor is a total waste of my time. I couldnt understand any words he says, always 15-20 mins late and very condescending to the students. I have to learn all the materials by myself.

Amazing prof! You need to go to every class to get a good mark. I'm horrible at math overall, yet finished with an A+! Couldn't have done it without Mr. Sher. He's funny and means well. Class gets a bit confusing, but ask questions, he will always help! Definitely would recommend him to future students! I wish I have him as a prof again.

Comment:

He means well but can sometimes come off as thinking you're not paying attention to him, which most students don't. He was always prompt at the beginning of the term then just began to get later and later to each class. Overall he is okay.

Comment:

Total lack of organization, professionalism, judgment and people skills. He is late for 90% of classes and does not follow several college policies such as changing the due dates of evaluations and assignments without proper notice. He is undeserving of his title and he is under constant scrutiny from the faculty. Avoid this "teacher" at all costs.

AVOID at all costs. Honestly going to class will not help you at all only confuse you. He changes CSI multiple times and barely uses blackboard. my suggestion is run as fast and as far as you can.

Comment:

Textbook use is rated high due to the confusion attending class causes. I have found that my classmates and I showed up for a leisurely PowerPoint reading with sparse mumbles adding to them and examples where, more often than not, the class was correcting the prof. The course outline calls for software but prof. doesn't use any( Blackboard inc.).

Comment:

Prof repeatedly changes course section information. Hard to understand. Claims to have had 100% in math & English, but makes numerous errors every class. Changes textbook version, assignment & quiz dates, and other course requirements several times during a semester. The textbook will save you if course required, but avoid the professor if possible

Comment:

All he is, is funny. You don't really learn much. In his economics class, as long as you read the book, you'll be fine. All he does is elaborate if you need him too. Only positive thing I can say about the guy is that he's absolutely hilarious. Made me die laughing.

Comment:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. He's difficult to understand &impossible to get a hold of. He comes late to class &cuts lessons short. During a review , I asked him a question that he did not have the answer for. At the end of the year, he assigned me the wrong grade and would not return my emails to fix it. He is completely useless. Expect to teach yourself.

Had him for Macro and QM1 - if you can follow what he's saying and come to class, you'll be fine. Provides some comic relief to boring classes (even though he's not trying) "What the hell is going on?!" Too funny

I know that many students don't like this guy, but I had him for two of my classes and I liked him. If you follow what he says you'll pass courses easily. He always says what is important to know and gives excellent reviews before tests.

while he isn't the easiest to understand, if you pay attention and do the examples in class, you will pass with flying colors. attending class is a must as you might get lost without his help. he is a fun teacher, especially when he starts his little rambles. have chosen again for different courses

This was the worst teacher I ever had. He would never show up on time, constantly make mistakes and would laugh at us when we failed. The failure rate problem is not with the students, but with the professor that has been provided.
