Comment:

WORST math teacher I've ever taken. His lectures don't make sense at all, he skips steps and he has quizzes every day of class. If you ask questions, he will humiliate you. I self-studied most of the class and barely passed. Overall, bad lecturer, bad teacher, poor attitude and is very test heavy. Do not take this class if you want to pass math.

Bad ,, really bad . U will not pass even though u try. Quizzes are from homework every week. Hard tests. Half of people dropped in class. Waste of time . Try hard but get the grade like u dont study at all.

This is the worst math professor I ever had. He gives quizzes every week, only has once a week office hour, and did not teach well enough. Started with a full class and a lot dropped the class. Only students who took calculus in high school should take him.

Comment:

Professor goes by the book. Lecture is just him rewriting examples from the book onto the board explaining it the same way the book does. Assigns a homework assignment every class and at least one quiz a week. Understands the material but not enough to explain it simply. Syllabus is a clear outline of the class. YouTube will teach you. Nice guy

Comment:

Class is very fast paced and hard to keep up with lessons while balancing other classes and work Gives weekly quizzes straight from the homework Only has about one office hour a week Briefly goes over examples from the book and tells you to review the rest at home Do not take unless you have a great understanding of calc

very fast pace,Cant understand anything unless u go home n review several times, Every class you need to take a quiz and turn in homework ,quite overwhelming. Has big test weekly, requires u to understand everything on the following day and be able to take quiz, dont take him if you arent super smart and can understand without digestion

He offers a lot of extra credit. A bonus question on each test and final will help you get a better grade. Lowest test will be dropped. He also gives extra credit questions during lectures. Overall easy A.

Comment:

Professor Rinderle's tests are extremely straightforward and are similar to the homework and quizzes. However, the way he teaches in class is a little confusing and he goes pretty quickly. Make sure to do the homework. He offers a lot of extra credit on each test so that can help a lot.

Comment:

Professor Rinderle is a great professor that truly cares about his students. If you dont understand something go to his office hours. The tests questions are usually straight out of the book, and its never anything completely different than the lectures. There are quizzes every week with problems straight out of the HW. Hes a great professor!

Comment:

His tests are straight forward. Rarely gives trick question, probably only 1 trick question for the entire semester. Quiz are straight from hw. However, his explanation is really tricky. A lot of the time, he skips a step or two. You have to ask or figure out what he did. Somewhat funny. The whole class is out of 1000 pts. Gives extra credits.

Comment:

Prof. Rinderle lectured very clearly, but you have to have a good foundation in math if you are taking his class. There's a quiz every class, so make sure you study. Perfect attendance gets 40 extra points. This class was very time consuming, but hard work will pay off. He is a great professor!

Comment:

Do not take a class from this teacher if you value your time or GPA. He is constantly requiring homework and there is a quiz almost every class. I feel this forces the students to cram. The quizzes and tests are also timed leaving no time to check your work. Very few people finish before the time is up.

Comment:

I took him in Spring 2014, i gotta say he's lectures are kinda confusing sometimes and not really clear on what he was trying to teach. I was scared that i might not pass this class because my grades were kinda bad on almost every tests but the EXTRA CREDITS HE GIVES randomly at the end of lecture really helps so pay attention and take notes

He is very helpful and clear to what he have taught. Those who said a Math 10 is super class can be considered a lazy guy. Make sure you have read the book before class, and do the homework without cheating, you are fine with this class.

Comment:

Super hard professor, he is not that nice like everyone else has said, he gives out 1-3 points extra credit quizzes which are super hard and his class is out of 1000 points. Tests are somewhat fair which comes with 6-10 points extra credit problem which involved in a lot of critical thinking. They are not that easy also. Worked super hard for an B

Comment:

Decent teacher and a very straight forward class if you do all the homework and pay attention in class. He has build in lots and lots of extra credit in test and daily mini quizzes. Basically he teaches from the examples from the book, exactly, with some other insights from him. Test are not overwhelming but a little harder then the examples.
