Comment:

He stops teaching to point out students that are leaving the class. The way he taught and the way he lays out the course for grading made it very difficult. He would give us online quizzes that were timed roughly about 40-45mins with roughly 20 questions. On top of that, multiple questions would have A,B, C, D parts to those questions.

I feel like I needed more help. And basically he wasnt the one to give me the help I needed. I feel like I couldve passed the class. If I had more help.

Comment:

He is a good professor, but not for everyone. He does care and encourages everyone to come see him if you need help. He holds study sessions and does a lot for the students. I have a hard time focusing and prefer to teach myself, this doesn't work all that well, since the tests are based off his lectures and interpretations not the book content.

Comment:

These commentators annoy me. I am an average student who can get lazy at time and needs to be a little pushed. The thing is, he TELLS you what he expects of you and he is completely determined to helping you pass the course. If you work with him, he will help you and go above and beyond. He gives you optional homework and resources. Great teacher!!

Comment:

WORST teacher I have ever had! I have been a straight A student so no I am not just complaining, he SUCKS. He tests you on material he has not even taught, makes corny jokes the whole class time instead of trying to teach. Brags about how smart he thinks he is & does nothing to show for it. Sarcastic & just horrible you will fail don't take him!

Comment:

I took this class las semester. And as a spanish student, it was very hard because he was very unorganized and spent a lot of time grading papers. He made us to use mymathlab and in the tests the questions were totally different. In my opinion, if you are a perdon who loves to learn by yourself...don't take him. I pass with a "B

Comment:

The 4/29 poster isn't lying. Watnik was unorganized and wasted more time than he did teaching us. Like the rest of the tiny class, I earned a C because I couldn't teach everything to myself. He is very nice and tried to be fair, but his evil side emerged each time he wrote an exam. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Ever.

Comment:

Goes out of his way to make exams EXTREMELY hard. Doesn't teach much in class..just cracks corny jokes and tries to be cool. Very unorganized, assigns wayyy too much hw, takes forever to grade exams, and expects you to teach yourself. You will either get a "C", drop his class, or fail his class horribly. STEER CLEAR! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Comment:

Best math professor I've ever had. He's very helpful and wants all of his students to succeed, he really does care. The class isn't easy (when is math easy?) but he'll help you all he can and his office door is always open. I'd recommend him, I have a high A in his class.

Prof. Watnik is one of the best teachers i've had in BCC. He's very kind, very helpful and loves learning. I've learned to love learning through him. An excellent all round teacher..not just for math. If you're not willing to work for a gd grade, then his class is not for you.

Comment:

He is the worst professor by far. Nobody should ever expect college to be easy but when I pay a teacher to teach me i expect just that "to be taught" He treat everyone as if they are a stats major. I passed mac 1105 with a "B" and is taking stats over again and is passing with a "A" Im mot lazy this teacher just SUCKS!
