Comment:

If you're concerned about having a math professor that is considerate, I recommend Capps. He is incredibly attentive, and understanding to help you get through the course if math isn't your strong suit. His lectures can be advanced, but he is more than willing to work with you individually.

Capps is one of the BEST professors I have ever had. He made learning math so much fun for me and all of my peers. He gives many opportunities for extra credit and we only had 3 tests throughout the semester. All homework and quizzes are online.

Comment:

Took instructor Capps online for Trig. He made all resources available to you. The class isn't necessarily easy, but he is available to help when needed. He isn't very lenient on late work, but does allow one extension for the entire course. He also replaces your lowest test grade with your final test grade which can really help.

We used Aleks, spent all class periods in the computer lab. It was an 8am Friday class, totally worth it. Explains things very well. I am terrible at math and this class was a breeze.

This is a core math class so it was not him in particular that was hard but the class in specific.

Comment:

I took this class as a hybrid, so class was a bit difficult. Other than that, the semester went by easily. You MUST do the homework and study to pass the course. Professor Capps explains things pretty well and there are also in-class problems for a grade everyday (they're easy) so attendance is a must.

Comment:

Professor Capps is an amazing math teacher. He is incredibly smart and knows what hes talking about, without making it complicated. He shows the class simple "tricks" to make the class a breeze and easy to learn. There is a good amount of homework, but you basically just have to show up, listen, and do the homework to pass.

Before this class I took intermediate algebra, and barely passed without any knowledge. His class gave me a clear view of everything I learned in the past and more. Excellent instructor, I would recommend him. He's helpful and his lectures are very helpful he will even post them for you if needed. The only thing is you MUST participate and study.

Take Capps for as many of your math courses as you can. He makes everything so easy to understand. Really knows when to be a little funny or even cheesy so his students remember what they need to. If you struggle in math you need Capps! He will help you!

He teaches you things that aren't even going to be on the tests. He moves quickly, expecting all students to be at the same pace as him and he isn't very helpful.

Mr. Capps is an amazing instructor and I'm looking forward to having him again for MAC1105. He makes great use of class time, he is very well spoken and easy to understand, and he responds to emails quickly! Being a developmental class, homework is required! It's a significant part of your grade so show up and do your work!

Mr. Capps is a great teacher! Homework is optional, but necessary to really absorb the lessons. He physically goes over every lesson, not just play the videos. He is quick to answer all your questions, whether in person or via email. Attendance is graded, but not a minute is wasted in his class. He is tied with Mr. Vollaro for best teacher at DS!

Great instructor. Quick to answer a question and email you back. Trouble concentrating in his class because of his looks. This guy is hot. The tight jeans he wears every day doesn't help either. I should have taken a woman teacher....

Mr. Capps is the best math teacher you will ever have. He explains every step in a way that a ten year old can understand. If you need to take College Algebra and Stats Mr. Capps is awsome.

Does not seem to want to help the student and expects them to know everything already. Constantly making remarks about how the class will get things wrong or fail the tests.
