Comment:

the class is an easy one, no matter who the teacher is, and considering i knew everything that we were doing, i found the class very easy, but for someone who struggles in math, take this guy! he is very thorough in his explanations, and is very willing to help. all test questions come straight from homework, so i recommend doing it.

Lightner is the man. He thoroughly goes through each concept and actually explains the math. Do most of the homework and you will do fine.

Comment:

Literally the best teacher on campus. He is so smart and funny. Keeps math interesting (as hard as that is). All exam questions come from homework and in-class examples. Do the homework and go to class. He takes attendance everyday so go! He drinks 12 POTS of coffee a day so he is a little wired. TAKE THE CLASS!!!

Comment:

It's been a few years since I had him...but I always cite him as the best teacher I've had throughout all my schooling. I remember him circling the the answer on the board, rubbing it in a sensual manner, and saying "Makes you want to touch." I still laugh thinking about that.

Makes class fun and interesting. Hes very funny. If you need help all you need to do is ask. Tests are pretty easy because he gives you a review sheet which has all the information you need for the test. I highly recommend you take his class.

This guy is great. It's not that he is easy, it's that he is a great teacher. You honestly LEARN from this guy. If you have a question, he doesn't condemn you. He is willing to do anything to help you learn. He is the reason that I love math! If you have trouble with math, take Lightner!!
