Comment:

I took his class for the first week of school and had to drop the class, because his teaching wasn't very helpful, and if you ask a question he answers you back as if you are stupid. He also skips steps when showing you how to solve a problem.

Comment:

He's really chill as a person, but horrible as a teacher. He teaches straight out of the textbook so you might as well just read it at home. Most of the time we have to help him out to solve a problem and he tends to skip steps in his explanations. His class is really not that hard if you're willing to self study.

The class is quite easy because the professor goes over everything in class for you and gives you quizzes similar to the homework. However; he's a boring teacher and you'll find yourself falling asleep in class a lot.

he's very funny. Lectures are clear. You would never be surprised about anything. tests or quizzes are exactly the same what he tells you. expect to have quiz everyday, but it's very easy. one way of him to give you extra credit.

Comment:

Really funny. Steve assigns homework, then next class is all about going over your homework to make sure you understood everything. At the end, you take a quiz over the material. You need to teach yourself from the book, but he will help you with anything you are struggling with. He's a really nice guy.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM.He teaches off a powerpoint, which has the EXACT same information from the textbook, so you might as well just read the book! He skips so many steps and doesn't thoroughly explain everything. You have short quizzes every day that cannot be made up. Goring, intimidating, and unapproachable. I hated this class already on the first day

Comment:

This teacher is nice; he always try to show every problem you ask. HOWEVER, homework points aren't awarded. QUIZ everyday. Lecture is a little boring. You must work on your own most of the time. He expects students to study from THE BOOK more than IN CLASS.

Point blank, do not take this teacher if you want to maintain your GPA and your love for math. Basic Trig shouldn't be hard as how he makes it. Does not provide lectures, HW points not awarded, and he does not work out problems on the board.

Comment:

Mr Headley is a great teacher! He has a unique sense of humor and can come off as grouchy, but he is a really nice man. He absolutely loves math and will do his best to help you learn. He never takes attendance, but there is a quiz at the end of each class, so you have to show up regularly to get a good grade.

Comment:

He can come off as a jerk but I like that about him. Very straight forward. If you don't struggle too much in algebra then take him. If you are a procrastinator, don't take him. You are responsible for doing the homework and he will not give any points for it. After all, this is college...

Senile professor doesn't give a crap about the questions you ask him. You can tell he just works for the money. He doesn't even know what day his final is scheduled for.. like wtf?? he made students take his final 2 days earlier than scheduled and he insisted he was correct. Save your money and GPA. Keep away from this guy everyone!

Comment:

He is a bit forgetful and he makes mistakes, but he's willing to walk you through a problem. The class will be boring unless you take an active interest (ask questions, follow along with problems). Every day you go over homework, learn new material, and do a short quiz. You aren't graded on homework, but do it so that you're prepared for the quiz!

Do not take this teacher he is by far the worst one I have ever taken. He goes way to fast through the material. He is extremely unapproachable. He skips a lot of the steps which makes it very difficult to keep up. Look for a a better teacher because this one is horrible!!!!

Comment:

If you take this class, you kinda have to teach yourself the materials. He goes through the material by powerpoint. The materials he shows is exactly what you see in the book though. You HAVE to go to class since there's a quiz everytime and quizzes are worth 100 points. He drops a test though which was good. Passed his class with a C,thankgoodness
