Comment:

Not available outside of class. Becomes visibly annoyed when students ask for help. His review guides for quizzesexams are USELESS. I would have finished with a much higher grade had I known that going into the course. He can be vague while teaching some material. Other than that, he's an alright professor.

Comment:

Prof Berry has been one of my favorite professors at DePaul!! 3 exams & an optional final. Gives out MANY handouts that are almost identical to the exams. If you just practice those problems right before the test, you shouldn't make anything less than a B. He looks out for his students and makes each lecture enjoyable. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Great professor. Very intelligent and although he has his own opinion, he loves when others share theirs. I really enjoyed his class. Be there, participate and of course do your share of studying and it should be relatively easy to get a good grade. Would definitely recommend.

Comment:

Dr. Berry is one of the best lecturers I have ever had. He has a great dry sense of humor and makes sure he covers everything in a coherent and plausible time frame. However, he is a hard grader and does not gives breaks. The average midterm grade was a C- (little bit lower than usual). And he doesn't give a lot of real world examples.

DO NOT BUY BOOK. I did not and don't know when someone would ever use it. Take notes and the exams will have no surprises. If you truly do all the homework there is no way you are getting below a B.

Easy class. Just study the handouts over and over and you will do well. 3 exams and a final. Final not mandatory! Offers extra credit. Super Funny with a dry sense of humor. Brought candy for Halloween! Not assessable outside of class. Go to the tutors for extra help they rock! Don't buy the book! You never use it and he gives handouts of problems!

If you do poor in this class, regardless of your major, it is ONLY because you are not devoting enough time to studying. HW and class handouts reflect midterm and exam questions exactly. DONT BUY BOOK. I practiced every problem before each test and got an A. I guess if you're a non-major, this is as easy as it will get for you! GREAT professor.

Awesome professor. Attend class and practice the problems from the handouts and you'll do great. Two quizzes that don't land on midterms and finals week and an optional final.

I am a business double major, class was mandatory, and concepts very hard for me, personally (although i did ZERO at-home work). Just wanted to pass, i think he saw that i was trying in class and "gave" me a bonus 1% just so that i could move on to the next course. Thats a $1600 savings and i now LOVE this man. Thank you

Great professor! Explained EVERYTHING very clearly. The material was pretty easy. As long as you come to class, do the in-class worksheets and homework you should be fine. His exams reflect those assignments EXACTLY. Also, if you do well on the first two exams you don't have to take the final, which is nice.
