I would not recommend him to anybody! I didn't learn a thing from him all year. His notes and lecture are useless. Bad teacher.

Comment:
Class is rushed and confusing. Lets you use notes on tests though, which helped. But its not easy to find info flipping through 10 packets of notes during tests. Mason is bearable and passable, but his jokes are pretty bad. p.s. He's really old

For Data Analysis; very nice will help you on anything. Lets you have your notes when taking exams. However, he draws random objects on the board and he tells jokes that is not realizable to the subject. Be prepare to be confuse.

knows the material but goes very fast. willing to stay after but you are better off taking other professors because he grades very hard. You will learn stuff but if you take another professor you will learn it and get a good grade.

Comment:
Doesn't explain concepts clearly, unable to properly answer questions in a manner more clear then his original explanation. Class is rushed because he tries to (and fails) cover a years worth of material in one quarter. Tries to make up for failure to teach by having open notes/book tests including the final. Won't work with struggling students.

Comment:
Had him for Elementary Calculus and he was great. He is always willing to help you and if you dont understand how to do the basic Algebra he will go over it with you. Open note quizzes are a major help and he let us do corrections to to get some extra points on all handed in assignments.

Comment:
Worst professor ever... Disorganized and incomprehensible to those of us who can't do algebra in our heads. Does not use a systematic approach for teaching, rather works out problems leaving the observer to largely guess what procedures he's using. Arghh! Tells funny jokes but who cares!

He is a great professor. Open book/notes exams are very helpful, and he is very helpful if you have any questions. I HIGHLY reccommend him for any math-related course.
