Comment:
The class isn't easy but you have to show and do your work. He provides real life examples to explain the uses of your examples, and yes, the explanation can be a lecture but he's trying to teach examples that are not provided in textbooks.

Comment:
Had him for Modern Elementary Math I. He comes across as being mean, but is very passionate about what he does. Gives you a lot of life lessons during class and is very nice. Tutors help out a lot and he is willing to help you if you put in the time yourself. Doing the homework problems helps a lot too so you can ask questions in class.

Hey was an awful teacher. Personally I think he was insecure because he thinks everyone is always laughing at him....

Only D I've ever gotten in my life. I don't care that you biked to DC with the governor or rode your bike to school from Altoona. I can't believe I was stuck taking his class TWICE. The only semi-positive thing I took away from his class was his lecture on functions using f(cow) or f(santa) instead of f(x). Good one Paul.

Good teacher before test time, but he has a horrible habbit of testing you on things that were not covered, or not covered in the same way. Test should be like the homework, well tests should not be surprises.

wow. this class was a nightmare you couldn't wake up from. terrible teacher with no idea how to really teach - excellent at telling you for a half hour why math is important though...see, that's great and all, but how about we actually learn the subject instead of learn why we need to learn

Best math teacher I ever had. How to get an A: 1) memorize the definitions 2) study every example 3) do all the homework 4) review constantly.
