Comment:

I took Prof Broderick for math 190 and I gotta say it wasn't easy, especially since he would even get answers wrong/do the problems wrong until classmates would literally question and correct him. He also gives out a lot of hw. I would recommend to take him if you know calculus and have taken a previous calc class/classes, ended up dropping :(

Comment:

There will be a TON of homework that is unavoidable. But the homework does help you keep up with the class and prepares you for the test so it is definitely mandatory. He loves physics and goes on inspirational tangents sometimes. He explains everything clearly and reviews homework to resolve confusion. I highly recommend for first time calc!

Comment:

Nice guy, however only take him for calculus if youre good at maths. His tests contain about 20 problems, you will have to memorize a lot of concepts. He gives tons of homework. Also he grades pretty hard.

Comment:

Lectures are long and tedious but are related to hw he assigns and some examples from the TextB. He also gives our a lot of hw but the tests are not too difficult since he usually omits 1-2 based on how people did and lets you challenge only 1 of your worst exam grades. Overall he's a good teacher but you need to work for it to get an A, a B is ez

Comment:

Had Prof Broderick for my calc 1 class cause of his high rating. Learned my lesson to start checking what class the students who rated him took. None of the those who rated him took his calc 1 class. Love him as a person, but not so much as a calc prof. Need to have a high understandin of math first if you want to pass his class. kinda unorganized.

This man will make you fall asleep. Every day it's straight lecture after lecture. All we do is watch him do problems and sit. Would not recommend taking this class if you want to be interested in learning the subject.

Mr.B is an awesome teacher, hes hilarious and his teaching makes a 2hour and 30min. Class not feel like forever.. I saw comments about homework and i would disagree.. maybe he changed the hw sheet but definitely doable and his notes are great didnt feel myself struggling.. one of the best math professors Ive ever had I actual understand math

Comment:

"Mr. B" is one of my favorite professors so far. His lectures are long but everything is laid out for you. You know what is expected and he is EXTREMELY fair. He gives opportunities to "prove yourself" on upcoming tests/exams and will grade accordingly. He wants you to succeed and is never condescending. Put in the work and you'll do fine.

Comment:

By far the best math teacher ever. He isn't boring and all the notes you take are helpful for HW and upcoming test and quizzes. If you do bad on a quiz he lets you challenge it on the same day as chapter test. He also lets you challenge chapter tests on the final which are just 3 pages (25 ques). you cant eat in his class and make sure to buy book

If you're not good at math I recommend you take your class with him! He explains everything in detail! And he always has time to help you before class or after. His tests are easy, just study and he gives you a study guide. He does give a lot of homework, but it's to help you out! You're in college now, remember that!

Comment:

I am terrible at math and I failed this course once before but he goes over everything with extreme detail. He's nice and all but assigns so much homework. The homework actually pays off because it helps to understand the material more. It's weird because i hate math but i actually wish he taught all my math classes.

Comment:

Mr. B is adorable. He is really caring and you can find him outside of class to talk to him. He explains things over and over and really tries for everyone to understand. Patient. BUT he leaves an insane amount of homework!!! Although it really helps you prepare for the test and practice. Tests are easy only if you dominate the subject. Hard work.

Taking him for Fall '17 and highly recommend him. I'm TERRIBLE at math and never do well on tests until this class. His lectures are clear and he's really nice and willing to answer any questions you have. Make sure you DO THE HOMEWORK!!! IT HELPS!!! And if they have it, attend SI on test days!! He's great, take him!

Do the work and you will pass the class. I just finished a 6-week summer class with Mr.B and he is definitely the best math teacher I've had. Being an international student with English as a second language, failed math in high school and now I got an A! He explains everything in depth so you don't want to miss class. suuuuper! good luck :)

Professor Broderick is the only math professor I've ever liked at El Camino. Math is not my strongest subject, like at all, and came into the class feeling I was going to fail. But he explains the content thoroughly and is always willing to help students. He is an exemplary professor, TAKE HIM!

Comment:

This class is the hardest thing I've ever done. I had to drop bc I couldn't take it anymore. It's very difficult to understand especially if you're already not naturally good at math and the lectures are long and so much material is covered it's hard to keep up. If you need extra support maybe take someone else.

Professor Broderick is awesome. He is very clear when explaining the material, He gives you practice material for exams, and he always wants to help you get better. I would take this professor for every math class if i could. Take professor Broderick and thank me later!
