Comment:

Toners class is so organized on connect, all of the problems are chosen by him. Even though there arent any study guides for tests they are easier than you expect and he does review in class. Lectures were fun and quizzes are 4 questions each on socrative app. Its us vs the material not us vs him. Got an A.

Comment:

4 tests and final exam. He had to curve nearly every test because grades were so low. His tests were extremely difficult, as they had questions that were overcomplicated and unlike homework problems or practice tests. His lectures were very mediocre. He offered NO extra credit due to all of the curves he gave. Avoid him if possible.

Comment:

Toner is a professor who works hard to help you to understand the mechanics of Algebra regardless of the question. During his class he will field any question and will exhaustively work through problems until you understand the concept in play. His teaching style and the way he interacts with students makes you feel respected as a student.

This teacher is ver bad at reading to room and understanding that his student do not understand him. He goes off topic for most of the class and skips steps assuming that everyone knows already why he did what he did terrible teacher with no extra credit or extra help. never had time to answer my questions. always left right after class.

Hard class and material such as the lecture videos did not help with understanding homework, midterm, and final. Also no formal study guide you walk into each major test blind. Would not recommend taking this teacher at all.

I took his class during the winter. Be prepared to study. I really enjoyed his class, but stats is tough. Toner made it bearable. I greatly recommend him.

I took intro stats winter hybrid. It's a tough class if math and critical thinking is not your thing. Especially challenging since its a short term. But do your work, put forth all your effort & you'll pass. Toner is a good teacher. He does what he says he's going to do (can't say that for many prof's at VVC) He is funny and keeps class interesting

Took his winter 18 Stat 120 course. His online videos for the chapter notes are very helpful. If you dont understand whats going on in class, dont worry. He has a video online covering the entire thing! Very knowledgeable and has an obvious passion for math. Grades work like literally the same day. Tests too! Hilarious guy. I highly recommend.

I took his math 42 class online and I'm not the best at math but he provides videos lectures that explain everything and helps tremendously. He is very accessible and is willing to work with you. There were chapter tests online and a final that you have to go to campus for which is a little annoying but he is willing to work with you. Great teacher

I took the 8 week class and it's a lot work and stressful. Each unit included a few homework assignments, a test, and a discussion post on webadvisor. The final is on campus and fairly easy. Mr. Toner is a great teacher who helped me in the subject I struggle most in & has videos on every problem. I reccomend him, but take a 16 week class.

Math is not my calling!! Prof. Toner takes the time to teach, he loves what he does and it shows. He is excited about math and it reflects in his teaching. Would I recommend this professor, YES! Will you work hard, YES, Will you learn something when you are done? YES. I would take this Professor again if possible!

Prof. Toner is a very clear, concise, & overall great teacher, I took his College Algebra course & currently Stats Hybrid, the course lectures are provided online, that is the only part that is online other than the notes & hw that you have to print out, and during class its 1 quiz and class activity. He is SUPER HELPFUL&ACCESSIBLE!! 100% RECOMMEND

Math is not an easy subject for me and with my busy schedule I decided to brave it and take my class online. I'm so thankful that professor Toner has been my online teacher! He's very clear with what he needs and he has been very caring and understanding throughout my course. He helps you and is very quick to respond to your emails .

He's passionate about his subject, and he uses lots of class activities to keep things interesting. He also goes over the homework to help you understand your mistakes. I took the six-week class, and some days there was a lot of homework, but overall he's a great teacher and I'd definitely recommend him.
