Comment:

I took Professor West for Cal I Math 2804. I haven't had a math course in over 10 years. He taught his class so well and everyone understood it. No one was left in the dark, unless they normally skipped class. He is very understanding and even helped me with my other math courses outside of his. I HIGHLY recommend him. You won't regret it. :)

Let me tell you, Jerry West knows what he's doing. Took Calc 1 summer with him and now doing calc 2. This man knows what students struggle with and he will do all that he can to make sure everyone knows the material. Greatest professor I've ever had.

Comment:

I wasnt sure what to expect going into his class except I knew he was highly regarded. I had him for Calc I in the summer, so a condensed class, but it wasnt that hard at all. The good thing about Dr. West isnt so much what he does right, though he does teach clearly, but more than he doesnt do anything wrong really, very to-the-point.

Comment:

Before taking Jerry West's class, I was struggling to understand Cal 2. I initially failed the course with another teacher, but West made it so much easier to understand. I took him over the summer and he's pretty forgiving grade wise for a math teacher. I ended up with an A and a much better understand of Cal 2. Too bad I switched my major lol.

I had to take beginning algebra and intermediate algebra before I could even take regular college algebra and Dr. West helped me understand it. Do all the homeworks and quizzes and show up for review days to know EXACTLY what is going to be on the tests. I registered in this class thinking I might not do well and came out with an 89%.

To be honest i hate math, but Mr. West is by far the best professor i have had at UAFS. He walks you through the problems step by step as well as showing you easier ways to do things. He gives you study guides before tests and tests are easy if you study. Would HIGHLY recommend for any math class. He is also easy to rach outside of class.

Awesome class. I had him for college algebra and he made it so easy to understand. He explained things very well and took his time explaining them and answered any question you had. His tests were easy as long as you studied with the study guide before hand. He uses math labs for homework and quizzes. Make sure you do those assignments.

Dr. West is the best math prof you will find. I highly recommend to take him for CAL1 and Cal2 if you want to get a good grades. But he teach those class in summer only which is sucks but worth time and money.

Dr. West clearly shows you how to solve the problems. He walks you through every step. Take notes, and you'll pass everything. He uses MyMathLab, which sucks, but you get unlimited tries on homework and 5 attempts at quizzes, so keep trying til you make 100%. My class got out 30 minutes early nearly every day.

Best math teacher you will find. He is so nice and understanding. I'm pretty sure I didn't have an A but he rounded me up anyway! Attendance will help you greatly but it is not required. All the work is online and you get a couple attempts for each quiz and test.

Best math teacher around. He presents math so that is understandable. I was not good at math in high school at all. I have had two classes with Dr. West and have A's in both. He drills equations and formulas into you head daily so you don't have any other choice than to learn them. Very nice, and very easy to get along with

If you're good at Algebra, this class is just a review, i recommend to go to class so that you understand your homework way better. Homework, Quizzes and Tests are online, and they aren't hard at all. He's really chill and is really easy to get along with. He'll answer all your questions about anything you may not have understood.
