Pay tons of attention in class. If you don't do work his way, you'll get points off. Class normally doesn't last more than 20 minutes and he doesn't go into great detail to explain himself.

Comment:

Bailey is very confusing, he likes to make the work more complicated than it really is. If you ask a question, he will just restate what he already said about the entire project and never answer your question. DO NOT buy the book, you will never use it, it would be a waste of money. The math itself is simple, if you can, take another professor.

Comment:

The class overall is easy if you pay attention in class and do the classwork. However, he is a grumpy old man and he wants things done his way. Make sure you attend class because you will do group work and those worksheets are added to the final score on your test.

Old. Confused. Spits when he talks. Dresses like he's homeless. But he's not that bad. Just make sure you write down all your grades and check the questions he marks wrong because half of them aren't wrong! He forgets things. Monitor your own grade and you'll get an A.

Not a bad guy. Grade is based on group assignments. There is only one independent assignment a semester. Tests are set up very much like the in-class assignments. Overall, take him if your not good at math. Definitely will pass

Comment:

This professor was not high on my list, he spits a lot during his ten minute lectures in the beginning and then lets us work on group projects (which are actually just worksheets) that are 40% of your final grade. He does help if you need it though and it is not hard as long as you do the worksheets and are there atleast long enough for the sign in

Comment:

I had him for Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. He is not much of a teacher an makes you do most of the work yourself. There were four tests and a final but 40% of your final grade came from the group assignments. Not too bad of a class especially if you hate math but he isnt a great teacher

Comment:

The class itself is a breeze. Its math from middle school. Nothing you havent already seen. He is a bore though...and he doesnt really teach. He gives you packets and you work on them by yourself or in groups. If you have a good grade at the end you can be exempt from the final.

All group work. Pick smart people. Dont buy the book, just borrow one before test time. Tests are easy. Geting a B is very realistic.

easy grade if you know what your doing. Entire class is group work. If your lost on the subject he wont' help you at all. Hardly teaches, basically expects you to know what your doing. PICK A GOOD GROUP BECAUSE YOU WILL BE WITH THEM THE ENTIRE SEMESTER!!! enough said right there.

Comment:

This teacher was gross!!! He talks like he has a clothes pin on his nose and he does not care if the students understand what he teaches. He always looks like a bum on the street. Make sure you like your group because you will be teaching each other!!!

Comment:

I can believe I paid money to sit in his class. He makes everything group work, so make sure you have a good group. He could care less about the students and offers no help what so ever. He should jsut stay at Hershey Park with all his roller coaster and theme park shirts!

Comment:

If you are a type of person that needs extra help and needs a helpful teacher don't bother with this one. when you ask questions he does not answer them on purpose just to make you think more. the content of the class is easy. if you get stuck with this teacher the best way to do well is study your group work. teacher is of no help.

Comment:

He cant control the volume of his voice, and he hates confrontation. If you ask him for help, it probably wont do you too much good. The class is extremely easy though.

Comment:

Easy content, but Baily is sooo boring. Can't read his writing and can't understand him because he mumbles. Once minute he's almost whispering, next he's almost yelling. LOTS of group work, a handful of tests, and a final. Take somebody else if you can.

Comment:

I do not like professor Bailey. He yells when you ask to turn things in early, lets your group teach yourself, and he's inconsistent with his grading (sometimes assinine and sometimes easy) and tys to trick the class intentionall. He's always a mess and not very professional. Do not take him if you can help it.

Comment:

Yes, he's sloppy, spits when he talks, and doesn't do much teaching, but this is common sense stuff. Most of class time is spent doing group assignments. Might find a question on test from the book, but you get to skip 1 question anyway, so don't waste $ on the book. Requires minimal thinking, but pretty easy A.

Comment:

Prof. Bailey does not really explain the problems very well. If you are not a logic minded person look out! If you ask a question, he doesn't give you help, just restates your question as if you should know it. You at least get the class periods to get your work done. Tests are straight forward.
