Comment:

His class is simple. Come to class, listen to the lecture, take notes, do homework. Homework is due on the day of the test. 5 tests and then the final. He drops your lowest test score. Some pop quizzes here and there but they're usually hw questions. Show your work on tests to get full credit. If you miss class a lot you're likely to fail

He is nice but does not explain the chapter very good and he is not specific. He is not very thorough. If you take this class for whatever reason, you'll need to rely on the class tutor or YouTube.

Comment:

I do not recommend this teacher if you are a not directly out of high school. He does not explain clearly, and he moves too fast through chapters. Instead of explaining how to solve problems step-by-step, he solves it himself. Asking questions is not welcomed as he will make sure to make you feel inadequate to take his class. Lots of homework.

Comment:

I took his class during winter. Hes nice. He goes through lectures a bit fast sometimes but explains things thoroughly if you dont understand how he got an answer. He gives partial credit for showing your work in tests/quizzes. He gives a lot of hw but its not due until the day of the test. Do the hw, study, and you can get an A.

Comment:

Good professor. Lectures can be a bit fast, so read ahead, but he always gives partial credit for problems and does a good job of teaching a rather hard course. Study, do your homework, and go to office hours and you should be able to get an A.

Hes a great professor. Ive taken both his 5A and 5B. His lecture is well structured, and he cares his students. Ive been enjoying studying calculus in his class.

Comment:

Russian man who is kinda funny sometimes. But his teaching isnt good at all. He does not stop, he just keeps going. Tests are hard and grading his homework isn't the best either. He had a full class at the beginning of the semester. Now the professor only has 14 students from 35. do not recommend

Comment:

Prof Yeganov is a good professor. Sometimes he will put one question during lecture that might not be related to the test but he will tell you straight out it won't be on the test. If you don't get a concept he is there to help at office hours after every class and he will show what you're messing up on. There are worse teachers at the school.

Comment:

He's a pretty standard math professor. He comes in, lectures, answers questions, and assigns a decent amount of homework. He doesn't exactly go above and beyond to make this class a breeze, which is what I think a lot of people are expecting at PCC. Do the HW and pay attention his lectures. His tests are short and he doesn't pick hard questions.

Comment:

He's the most boring lecturer ever. I had him for night class and it was such a drag everytime. Nothing in his lecture makes any sense. The examples he gives are so confusing. First he would do one method, then he would give us another example for us to do alone and turns out he does a different method that he never taught!

Comment:

A nice person but his class is hard. He will test for a deep understanding of the material so I suggest doing the homework twice. A harsh grader, even if process is correct you will seldom get half credit. Will continue teaching after exams and rarely took breaks. If he teaches something but assigns no homework for it then it will be on the exam.

Comment:

Professor Yeganov is one of the best math teacher at PCC. He explains every problem in different methods to give students a clear concept. But he is a tough grader and tests are really hard. I wouldn't recommend taking him unless you are a math or engineering major. However if you can survive his class, next math class would be super easy for you.

He's one of the most knowledgeable persons I know. He takes no disrespect, don't be ofended. Do your homework and you will pass. If you don't understand him you'll never understand math, retake him as many times as you feel necessary until you pass.

his tests are difficult. he requires you to memorize all formulas. I got A in his 5B class. Only 8 out of 35 students in my class survived in the final exam. If math isn't for you, don't take his class. Seriously!

Took his 5a class and get an A. Tests and exams are difficult even thought he gave test/exam review before occasionally. He will drop the lowest test score. He curves final grade. Watch youtube if you did not know what he was teaching

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Humiliated me in front of the whole class saying that I didn't pay any attention when I took five pages of notes; and stay focused the whole time. I emailed him after and showed him my notes. Never heard back from him, he doesn't respect his students.

He is a great professor. Mr. Yeganov does give out a lot of homework but if you do it you will be fine. Yes, I recommend him for any math class you want to take. I have had him for two years, and I got A's in both summer courses. He explains really good and he wants the students to learn deeply. Great!

Comment:

Very picky grader. If you don't do the problems the way he explained it then he docks points from your test. He won't drop the lowest test score or curb any of the grades. Overall, it just felt like he didn't care if you really learned the material or not. He'll give you participation points but only if you can answer really difficult questions.

Comment:

This professor requires you to do board work regularly in order to take advantage of participation. He gives tricky and hard tests. Homework is a TON but is not very important for him. The most important is to have good grade in tests but he deducts half out of 10 points for EACH small mistake you make. AVOID this professor.
