Comment:

Prof. Lehman's way of teaching, in my opinion is intuitive and effective. Instead of everyone facing him, he makes us into groups of 4, and made us do problems in teams. He really makes you practice math by the way he designed his homework. 100% prop to the MAN.

Great teacher! In class, he teach his methods (which is easier to digest) of approaching the problems, and also assign homework which allow you to learn the textbook methods, each method compliments the other. He assign students to work in group on practice problems which is the first I have seen in math teachers and it works for me.

Comment:

Math 252 with Lehmann was pretty hard, but that's largely because Calc 2 is a difficult subject in and of itself. He's very calm, no-nonsense, and you know what's expected of you. Show up to class everyday, if you skip class you'll easily fall behind in lectures. Attendance is a must. Quizzes and tests aren't easy, yet are also very reasonable.

Such a nice guy. Very understanding, and he has a great personality. He loves group work and is always down to help you outside of class. I recommend him!

Jay breaks down the semester very clearly so I always knew what to expect. Theres hw nearly every night, he takes 1-3 days to cover each section, quizzes every Friday, offers office help daily, & wants to see everyone succeed. I will miss him, hes the most respectful & thorough teacher Ive ever had. Really made me enjoy the class/subject!

Great Professor. He's funny and doesn't make math a total pain. Pay attention to homework problem as similar problems will show up on the weekly quiz. The tests aren't as difficult if you're attentive in class. Sometimes he's nice enough to let Friday quizzes be take-home quizzes. Going to miss him as a professor :)

Jay is the best math teacher I have had at CSM, he is funny and outgoing ( a rare skill in the math world). Show up to lecture everyday and do your homework and you will pass. His class layout is very clear and specific there is a quiz every Friday and after 2 to 3 quizzes there is a test. Very little homework over the weekend

if your not a math person then don't take his class even though majority of the math teachers at csm have accents jay is easy to understand but get ready to actually study hard and put time on your hw since his test are based on the class progress

Great professor for a tough subject! Attendance is important because of the difficulty in understanding course material. Tests are based on lecture and homework, do both and you will pass with a C or higher. Asking for help and studying are NECESSARY, he will not pass you if cannot prove you can solve medium difficulty equations. He helps everyone!

Comment:

Lehmann is a patient professor who is willing to delve as deep as any student wishes to go into the logic behind many mathematical principals. He uses homework from the textbook and doesn't assign an exorbitant amount but your responsibility to do more if you need it. Very clear grading criteria and has occasional extra credit on tests. Great Class

I've took Calc 1 with Jay, and since having him as a teacher I've had 4 other math teachers at his school. Jay was great. A conscientious teacher. His lectures were well laid out and not rushed. He'd pause for a bit after asking the class questions. Interested in students understanding the material.

Honestly the best math teacher I had, he's so patience and will repeat his explanation until students get it. He gives really helpful examples during his lecture and even for someone that hates math I feel like I learned a lot. Make sure to attend class daily and do all the work he really makes you work for it!

Class is everyday, and you really need to go to all the classes. Tests and quizzes every week, and the questions are drawn pretty much straight from the homework.

Comment:

Jay is a great transition to the latter calculus classes and his exuberant energy is what propels the class to persevere through the course. Many math teachers don't delve deep into logic and theory as he does which helps many students understand topics more easily. He is not easy, but will lead the way through the most difficult material.

I took Professor Lehmann for pathway to statistics, he was great. He's very clear and is really helpful. He does a ton of examples to make it clear to understand what's going on. Show up to class to stay up to date since the classes move pretty fast. Overall a great teacher!

For Stats he was AMAZING! he made everything simple and easy! For trig, he was still a great teacher. He always encouraged to never be afraid to ask questions. Tests are pretty tough and they are only 1 page front to back. He does a lot of in class group work. HW and Quizzes are online. Overall, he is not an easy teacher, but he made math fun.

Quiz every week. But if you attend classes, it won't be a problem. Expect homework everyday. Professor Lehmann will check your work during the quiz. He is a very funny teacher. If you take his class, you will fall in love with math and get a easy A in calculus.

stats is a hard class in general, but prof. lehmann makes it as easy as possible. homework assigned everyday online, and 10 quizzes but do them and you should do fine on the 5 tests! i honestly loved his class and thought he was a great math teacher. very clear examples too that match exactly what the homework is. didn't really need the textbook
