Comment:

Mr B doesn't seem approachable but totally is. He will call you out if you ask dumb questions, but he cares for his students and answers all questions. He'll stop class to answer you. You need to show up to class for sure! First 10 min. of each class is when you learn new material. I got a B but it would have been easy to do better. Take him

Mr. B is not that bad. He comes off as an ass the first few days, but his bark is worse then his bite. He taught the material very well and was very clear. Just do the work and come to class and you'll be good.

Comment:

Such a wonderful teacher. He knows what he is talking about and is willing to help you if you need it. As long as you do your work you will make a good grade in his class. His tests and quizzes are based on the homework, so do the homework and your set. The best professor I have had in my college career. I highly recommend him.

Hard class. Kinda fun professor if you don't piss him off. Not the most understanding when you're in a tough situation. Definitely pay attention during class.

The first day I thought i'd hate Mr. B, he seemed unapproachable and scary, but the class itself was pretty interesting and the way he goes through the information makes it easy to understand. Don't be afraid to talk to him, he's glad to help!

Comment:

Mr. B makes the easiest math the most difficult. I would get marked off for the tiniest details and he has no mercy. Sometimes his teaching can be helpful but he's so intimidating that he makes it difficult to feel comfortable asking questions. If there's another option for teacher, take them. If you HAVE to take him... DON'T take him at 8am.

This teacher was awful. If he didn't like you, you can kiss a good grade goodbye; he was unreasonably rude to most students and marked off for ridiculously small things.

Comment:

Mr. B is a great teacher. He explains things well, and usually lets class out early. However, if you are struggling with something he invites you to stay after class and talk to him. Really helpful guy. If you do bad in his class it is either because you skip frequently, or because you don't do the homework (which is never excessive)

Comment:

He's a really good professor. If you finish the semester with an A, you'll be exempt from the final. He doesn't tell you this, but if he calls a group of people to stay after class at the end of the semester, it's to tell you you're exempt :) Just do the homework (which isn't graded), keep your notebook organized, and listen to lectures. Easy A.

He is not very good at all. Doesn't like to reinstate anything. If you missed it the first time don't even think about asking again because he won't tell you. Kind of a jerk!

Comment:

I was in this class first thing in the morning. I thought it was really fun with cool people. The tests come straight from the practice tests he hands out, which you go over in class...as well as the quizzes. The final exam comes from all the previous tests and quizzes which you get to keep. He was very helpful, and made math much more fun!!

I thought he was a good teacher, he was always ready to help if anyone needed it. unless he has changed you will have to keep a notebook...so if you can't keep one...work on it.

Comment:

Throughout the class my opinion of him changed. He's a good man but not that great of a teacher. He knows what he's teaching but teaches it so quickly you can't keep up (unless your already good at math). When you ask a question he answers you as though you should already know the answer, and gets extremely annoyed when he has to repeat something.

Comment:

If you know anything about math, you can pass this class. He announces all tests and quizzes in advanced so you have plenty of time to prepare (if you even have to do that). However, don't expect any sympathy because you won't get it. He's all about being a responsible college student, so be prepared for that.

Comment:

Jesus Christ- I have never met a more arrogant and unhelpful math teacher in my entire life. He expects you to know absolutely everything about math...even though if you knew everything you wouldn't be there in the first place. This man needs to retire and get a yacht or something...he is obviously miserable being a teacher.

Comment:

Mr. B's class is pretty straight forward. He is very thorough and he understands that no one in 1010 likes math. Listen in lab because he won't repeat himself and you'll get totally lost. Homework every night but not too much and all tests and quizes are announced.

Don't take his class unless you already have some skill with math...otherwise you will have a hard time of it.
