Comment:

Horrible teacher. I told him that the class was to advanced and wanted to drop but he kept telling me I was OK and instead of letting me know I wasn't doing well; so I could drop the class with a WP he failed me. He is always moody and doesn't explain the content well; I studied for this class harder than any other class I ever had. Do not take.

Comment:

Terrible teacher. He joked around the first few days and now he literally hates our class. He will not help you work problems. He comes in late to class just puts up problems then tells you the answer. He always has an angry look on his face. He is not a good teacher at all.

Comment:

He is not a good teacher for this class. He always has to make a comment about anything you do. He doesn't teach the class. He goes straight into example. Also, when you go ask a question he would change the way he did it from the first time. DO NOT take him.

Mr. Mann is the man! Loved this Math class, and I learned to love and appreciate Math itself. Very helpful teacher who wants to see his students do well. Best Math teacher I have had during my college years.

Comment:

I do not understand why people are saying that he is rude and moody. He's a great guy to get to know and a great teacher. He makes sure everyone understands everything before moving on. He makes up all of his tests and you can ask for him to make you worksheets if you need them. He is great.

Comment:

Lazy, useless, rude, and moody. He DOES NOT teach you the concepts, he just gives you examples and answers. He comes to class pissed off every other day and takes it out on the class. He won't help you with anything/answer any questions. Check over all your tests and labs with others after he grades, he gave me less points than the girl I sat with.

Comment:

He simply does not teach the class. He fails to explain the concepts, he just puts problems on the board and gives you the answers. He's a nice guy, though. However, he is a little moody. He will come into class sometimes and it's clear he has no desire to teach that day. Not a horrible class, overall.

Loved the Class... The Mid Term and Final were a little harder than all the other class work! He was always open to talk and help anyway he could! Always do the homework and you will understand the problems! I will take him again!

Comment:

Superb instructor. Makes math interesting and easy to understand. His best quality is he encourages the student to believe in themselves. He will rebuke any negative statement one makes of theirself, such as, "I don't know how..." he will promptly reply 'YET!"

Comment:

I had him for pre-cal, stats, and calculus and did very well in all of them because he is such a great teacher. He knows how to teach and knows what you should know. He is very fair on grading. Gives partial credit for everything whether you know how to do it or not. I recommend him for any math class you need to take. He gives handouts and note

Comment:

He is an excellent teacher; He made math fun and interesting. Even though he does remind me of Colonel Sanders, I would suggest taking his class, for he places math on a level in which the common non mathematician can understand.

Comment:

He is very moody. He comes into class with this attitude that's rude. You feel like you don't want to work because of his moodiness. He is also very nosy. I am waiting on the day someone tells him off. I think he needs a complete 180 in his personality. He wants to keep helping students because if he keeps up what he is doing he won't help anyone.

Comment:

he was an awesome teacher. i hate math but he made sense. the way that he handles himself (walk, talk) remindes me of Shaft. Great class but if you go in to his class not prepared and lazy then he will destroy you like an academic ninja.
