Comment:

Great Math professor, he is really understanding and want his students to succeed. He is really funny I took his 6 am class and not even once I was tired. The homework is online but we did it together in class. He goes over the test or similar questions the day before. If you attend class for the review trust me you will get an A on the test.

Hes got an attitude problem. He seems to think hes some type of gangster sometimes and is rude when it comes to questions. You have to ask questions if you wish to learn.

Avery is awesome. The entire class is on Pearson. He does the HW in class with you question by question & he gives a VERY generous study guide before each exam. I had him at 6am and he was telling stupid jokes even that early. His storys are actually interesting and he had me laughing more classes than not. Communication is key if you have issues.

Avery tells corny jokes which makes him funny. Tells a lot interesting life experiences, which can take 10 minutes of class. Literally does a math problem while explaining it step by step. Let us use flashcards on test. Did not really answer my emails, but told him upfront and he fixed questions I had. Do your work and you'll pass.

I loved Averys class! I took the 6 week session. Avery does the homework in class, and encourages tutoring if you need any additional help. The tests were very similar to the study guides. His jokes helped the class, during times of stress. I recommend anyone to take him! He offers so much compassion! Im going to miss him!

Everything is on MyMathLab. You watch videos and teach yourself. Lots of homework but it was a summer class, so that is expected. If you do the practice test for each chapter more than once you should have no problem on the actual test. Both the practice and actual test are very similar.

One of the worst classes I've ever taken. Was a very lazy instructor in general. Didn't really explain the material properly was rude when asked certain questions. Was overall a terrible instructor, wish I had never taken him.

Comment:

He gets straight to what you need to know and how to do the work doesn't lecture too much where it gets boring and you just stop listening, easy to understand and is very helpful if you don't. Homework all online which makes it easier and goes over homework number for number every class meeting. If you maintain an "A" don't need to take final.
