he teaches way too fast and expects you to know the material instead of teaching it. My class started with 30+ and his teaching ruined it for a lot of us and we ended up with less than 10.

Comment:

If you show up, participate, and do the homework, then this class should be an easy A. However, student skip class and homework and then get mad at him because they're failing. He really cares about his students and wants every single person to understand the material. He's very easy to ask questions to and is always willing to help.

You have to teach yourself. I walk out of the classroom completely confused, with all the math that he teaches.

He is nice but a bad teacher. His exams are extremely difficult because he doesn't use examples from class or the homework. You must teach yourself everything. He will do nothing to inform you.

Comment:

Good professor on a personal note, however his tests reflect some of the more difficult problems of the homework, and grades critically on problems you got wrong. Lectures too fast in order to prep students for higher math courses and you can't skip more than 2 class meetings before the 2nd drop date, or else he'll drop you.

Comment:

(calc 3) I don't know why everyone is complaining , he was a great guy! He was willing to help students in any way possible (he would stay after class just to answer questions) and the test questions were mostly straight out of the homework. If you just keep up with the homework and understand them you'll be fine.

Comment:

He is a TOUGH professor. I wouldn't recommend taking the class if you're not good in math. I got a C in the class. He gives you plenty of opportunity for extra credit. (TO PASS THE CLASS: YOU NEED TO SHOW UP & TAKE AS MUCH MAKEUP TESTS AS POSSIBLE!!)

Hes really nice and wants everyone to pass. Hell take the time to answer any question and help you outside of class. Theres a of quizzes and tests but he gives you a chance to make up points. Stay on top of the homework.

One thing to pass this class. STUDY YOUR QUIZZES FOR THE TEST. He is a really good guy, is willing to help his students and his quizzes are EXACTLY what is on the test. Lots of homework but he really gives his students a chance to pass. Only issue is he likes to skip. If you have a question about a problem, theres a 50/50 chance he wont help.

This class was hard. I aced calculus 1 and 2 but I struggled so much in this class. I was going to major in math until I got to this class. Prof Jones was nice but I feel like he could have done a little better explaining things... I found the textbook to be unhelpful. Lots of homework and tough exams.

Comment:

Professor Jones is a really nice guy. He is clear about when things are due, when tests are, and what will be covered on the tests. Be sure to study a lot for each test because there are only a few and they make up most of your grade. The tests are tough but you'll be fine if you really know it. I did sometimes have to read the textbook to get it

Comment:

Professor Jones does not go in to detail with his teaching. He will assign homework without a lesson,and the day he will go 1 or 2 problems and move on to the next. He gives quizzes everyday on things he barely taught his students, and ignores me when I ask for help.

Comment:

Hell on earth. Good man and good teacher, but his tests are rather unrepresentative of what we covered in class. His grading is rough, test corrections are for up to 10% up to a C, and the grading system is 20% for tests (3 total), 25% final, 15% homework. Only 6 points of EC, and that's almost nothing. Good luck, try not to cry all semester.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM! Unless you have no hope for your GPA and want to cry all semester. I have never gotten less than a b in a math class and I tested into math 135 but wanted to take the easy way out to get credit to transfer. He assigns 50+ problems for homework after each class his tests are extremely difficult. I REPEAT, DONT DO IT

Comment:

He is extremely confusing, he will spend more time talking about how a formula was created rather than show you how to actually use it. Homework is long and given basically every night. You'll have four tests and they count for the majority of your grade. The test questions are like ten times more complex than the ones he gives for homework.

Comment:

I probably would've gotten an A or B if I went to class. Not recommended if you aren't able to go to every class as you will fall behind in the subject. Nonetheless the days I did go, his teaching style is very clear and will do many examples on the board. If you ask for help he will take time to answer your questions. Be prepared to do homework.

Comment:

He's a great math teacher and definitely takes his time at explaining the material as long as you pay attention and ask him for help when needed, there's no reason not to pass his class.
