HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. He would copy the book and come up with the wrong instructions/answers. The whole class was the students mostly critiquing his mistakes. He would cover so much material and and was terrible at explaining things. Do not take him

Comment:

To me this Professor was great, after 20+ years out of school, he was there to answer any question I had in class or after hours. Dont just settle for a passing grade in homework, you have unlimited times until the due date to get your 100 or doing the work early. If you fail, you didnt take full advantage of his grading criteria. Generous grader

Comment:

His accent is very heavy so it's hard to understand him and he talks very low. When you try to ask him a question about something he gets frustrated. What he says in his syllabus and emails is completely different from what he says. If you miss quizzes or tests because of an emergency he won't let you make it up so you fail that assignment.

He rushed through lessons and didn't explain them thoroughly. The last week before exams he went over new material which we only had a few days to attempt to learn. He gives a ton of homework and most of it isn't even on the tests.

Be prepared for lots of homework. But works with you & has open door policy. Accessible. He really wants to help you learn. Humble & patient. Enjoys open to class participation. Math not my strong point. He helped me & I got an A overall. Drops lowest quiz & gives 2 chances pers quiz at home.

Comment:

The professor gets an "F". If you do not understand or don't like math I would suggest another professor. He makes so many mistakes when teaching. Thankfully I new better. There is so ALOT of homework. I am not sure how he is even allowed to teach. Did a huge disservice preparing the class for College Algebra.

Comment:

He was my professor for intermediate algebra as well as my current MAC 1105 class. It is an online class, so you have very minimal contact with the teacher. You watch videos to learn the material, so it wouldn't be fair to give him anything but a positive review. He emails back pretty promptly if there are any issues. Grading is mostly from tests.

Comment:

I took him for Intermediate Algebra. Although his lectures took forever, I found them to be very helpful. He really takes the time to go through each example step by step, and if you dont understand, he will re-explain the problem with the class. I would recommend his class for any beginner taking Algebra.

Comment:

He would give take home quiz that were posted on blackboard. The students have to print them out and bring them to class the next day. Well i had the class on Monday and Wednesday. Most of the time he would post the quizzes on blackboard saturday or sunday morning and then make them due Monday. That doesnt give the student enough time to complete.

Comment:

He was a very tough grader. Did not like it when students veered away from his way of teaching. Was very disorganized. You will not know when exams are coming up. He has no schedule on his syllabus so be prepared to be lost. His homework is not graded and not checked. He covers material that is not in the chapter and jumps from section to section.

Comment:

I missed one day of class and was so far behind in my notes and work that I could not recover. I would say that this class has caused more stress than anything else in my life. His tests are insanely hard and he tries to fit as many chapters into one test as possible. Even if you wanted a "challenge", I still would not recommend his class.

Comment:

The teacher was lazy and unorganized. I took the class online but even when I went to campus to see him in person to ask for help he was very unhelpful. No practice test. No partial credit. No re-opening of assignments at the end of the term. LOTS of material to cover. It wasn't the material that made this class difficult.

Lectured every minute of the class every single class except exam days. Be ready for a weekly quiz. It was also very hard to understand the lectures due to his thick accent. I wouldn't take this class again.

Comment:

I took this course online and although I didnt get lectured by this prof, I can tell he really cares about his student's success. The tests were hard, but everything else was easy. He opens up the homework and quizzes windows at the end of the semester to help your grade. Reading these comments I was intimidated but he's great!

I took this professor online for precalc. Although I didnt get lectured by him, I can tell he really cares about his student's success. The tests were hard, but everything else was easy.

Comment:

I took this professor as my first college class. Never will i ever again, he doesn't care about if you're learning or not. He gives attitudes when you ask for help. hes late to his own class 10 minutes every class. hes very monotone and hes not a good teacher at all. he makes simple problems harder than what they really are.
