Comment:

Dr. Rush is a good dude and has a sweet heart. He is pretty awkward, but he's funny at the same time, whether he means to be or not. He tries his best and he will gladly pause lecture to help when needed,he responds to emails promptly, and he is almost always available outside of class. Everything is online now, I never go to class and have 96%. <3

One of the best professors I have ever had. Maintained credibility throughout the entire semester (he really knows the material). Willing to work extra to help the students and makes the class fun. Do your homework and go to class.

Comment:

I'm sure Mr. Rush is a nice guy. He is respectful and honest. That being said, he gives you a TON of homework. Get ready for HOURS of homework in this class - and it's all online. You have 3 tries at each test, but they're take home. Basically quizzes. Midterm and Final are multiple choice. Get one part wrong - the entire answer is wrong.

Comment:

He is boring. But just do the work and you will pass. You get 3 chances for each test, they are easy with what he gives you. Homework is unlimited about of tries, with that it is cake. Group work is key, get a good grade on those and you will pass. The group work effects your grade the most.

Mr. Rush is a great teacher! Goes through each section step by step, and gives his own techniques that make problems easier to understand. He has a dry sense of humor and soft voice that makes it easy to feel comfortable in his class. All of the work, except for the midterm and final, are online with MyMathLabs. Overall I highly recommend Mr. Rush!

Comment:

Ive always found math pretty difficult but prof rush is really good about walking through the steps slowly. The classes are pretty much going over the homework.. we work in groups and have group assignments that are graded. For our exam we were able to work in groups, which is the main reason i ended up acing the class.

Good professor, his lectures consist of him doing example problems on the board, which makes homework easy, but you are gonna have to study a lot for the tests because there isn't a review for them in class.

Comment:

Rush is very nice man willing to ask any questions you have, however his lectures consist of doing random examples from the book on the white board. He explains how its done, but not why or in detail. I ended up just teaching myself out of the book along with the notes i took in class. Class fell behind about 2-3 weeks and no exam review was given.

Comment:

Those that give him a terrible rating are the students that don't take the time out of their busy social lives to even try to succeed. If you fail its your fault, not his. He teaches you what you need to know, homework/reviews are done completely in MyMathLab, 3 tests and a final exam. Put the effort in and your grades reflect on it. I got an A+.

Comment:

Mr. Rush is a very nice man, but this has been the worst math class I've ever taken. He mainly just wrote examples on the board with little to no explanation on how to do the problems. The class fell behind 3 weeks and made us rush through all the material. The class ended up not getting a test or exam review. Find another teacher if want to pass.

Comment:

Poor explanations on everything, often refers back to his intermediate algerbra class which I tested out of, often got himself confused in class, better off teaching yourself that's what I did, can't use graphing calculator until final, won't know grades until after final, disorganized. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE (Don't know grade yet)

Mr. Rush worked with me after class, explained the concepts to me and took a genuine interest in my success. Plenty of homework, but he's the best math professor that I've ever had. I thought he was funny too.
