Comment:

THE WORST CLASS EVER. You could not pay me to take this professor again. Goes super fast through his lecture then ask if we have any questions then makes you feel stupid for asking a question by saying, "What's hard about this?" He had 6 grades and you could drop two of the lowest. His test are 5 questions so it is very difficult to do well.

Comment:

A hard problem is not one that takes 15 minutes to solve, it is one that takes 7 days to solve! - Professor Parten. He expects the students to know everything, and gets frustrated when we do not. Lectures are very off topic and work rarely gets done. Over half of my class dropped. Sweet man, but not the nest teacher.

Comment:

Very off topic during the whole lecture and constantly gets off topic and makes it very hard to follow him. I ended up only showing up for exams and teaching myself the content and did 20+ points better. When he asks students if they understand, he goes on a rant about how we should know this because he just went over it.

Comment:

Worst teacher I have ever had. I am not exagerating. He is an elitist who thinks his little children are smarter than all of us because he home schools them. That is all he talks about during class besides telling us to look up math history on the internet. I don't know why they brought this guy out of retirement. There must have been NO choices.

very scatter-brained, not much of a "teacher," little to no help outside of class, wins my worst teacher award up to this point

Probably the worst professor I have ever had...Doesn't explain crap, tests are over what he doesn't explain, and mocks just about anyone who asks a question he thinks they should know.

Comment:

I never learned how a circuit works but I definitely know why Einstein was much smarter than I am. That was the lecture topic or something like it every class. He never even finished a problem he started on the board. And that was even rare.

Comment:

Knows the material very well, but has difficulty communicating it. A very tangential professor, he tends to spend whole class periods off-topic. Does not respond favorably when students say things like "help me understand".
