Comment:

If you don't already understand calculus do not take him. He is super confusing, doesnt go into depth, just shows you plain formulas and not even show you an example on how you could use it. Please do not waste your time with him he will make you fall asleep. I have basically have to teach all the material to myself, also the HW is hard.

Comment:

Avoid him like the plague. Only reason I passed the class was because I had a friend who helped me outside of class. Super unclear about everything, going to class is worthless except for the extra credit quizzes. He is very arrogant and won't stop talking down the new methods of teaching. Do yourself a favor and AVOID him.

Comment:

Think of a grandfather teaching you mathematics who will constantly reminisce in the past years of learning and teaching calculus. That is exactly how Prof. Vosbury is. He's a very caring teacher, but he will make you want to gauge your eyes out from boredom. Very monotone voice and constantly gets distracted. Gives lots of extra credit!

Comment:

He is a very chill professor. He doesn't go very in depth into the different math problems. I personally didnt like him because he was too lenient and didn't care so much. Hes more of a "do what you want, I dont care its your grade" type of professor. He does give a lot of extra credit opportunities. But I had to teach myself way too much material

My rating says it all. I do not recommend Vosbury. He is extremely arrogant and he thinks he's above everyone else!

Comment:

He's difficult t understand. and he's not very approachable. I would rather go to Valencia than take another class with this guy. He lectures come right from the book like a robot. Do not take any course with him!

Comment:

He's great. He spends a lot of time explaining what you're doing conceptually. The homework is where you SHOULD be figuring out how to do it mathematically. He tells you what you need to do on the test and gives extra credit. No reason why you shouldn't get at least a B unless you're not doing any work.

Comment:

If you *need* calculus for your future job, he might not be the best professor to take- but if you're like me and just needed it for your major- he is awesome. He's by far the best math professor I have ever had, not that it is a particularly hard bar to suprass. I barely studied, but I still got a B.

Comment:

Every class has a quiz which are basically attendance grades. Show up get max credit. Homework is due the Sunday after each test. I recommend doing them prior to the test. He gives extra credit through out the class, take advantage of this.

He has obviously been teaching a long time. Way too long! He is far from clear. His lectures sound like the ramblings of an old man. I would NEVER take another class with him. I would prefer to drive to Valencia College than to take another class with him.

Comment:

Although Differential Equations is not a class that I find hard, Vosbury makes it incredibly difficult for me to learn as his tone when lecturing is very mono-toned. I've survived the semester with a 93 A solely because I searched up YouTube videos for help. Also, quizzes are easy so don't miss class.

Comment:

Mr. Vosbury is soft spoken, but he knows what he is doing. He offers copious amounts of extra credit. If you do the online homework and study, tests should be a breeze. He wants to pass you, as long as you put in effort. He is available to help. Sometimes it is hard to understand him, but a quick jump to the textbook clarifies everything.

Comment:

I'm surprised Mr. Vosbury doesn't have a higher score. About the only accurate thing i've read here is that he's quiet, everything else hasn't been true or is an exaggeration. he gives lots of extra credit and is very helpful (he'll stay after, let you use formula sheets or whatever), he really wants you to pass. He's a good teacher.

Comment:

Tests are 66% quizzes and hw are both 17%. Quizzes are just a way to make sure ur coming to class. His lectures arent the best , but his website is great. He goes over what will be on the test, its basically on the website. Practice the website and then questions similar in the book. He also gives EC so thats great. should be an easy B

Comment:

Though he does allow you to have formula sheets for his test, he does not teach with clarity. Expect lots of homework that is not designed to prepare you for the tests. You will do many problems that you will not be tested on and not enough problems on the material you will be tested on. His lectures are long, required, and monotoned.

Comment:

Quite possibly one of the worst professors I have had. Half the time he goes off on tangents away from the main lecture, which frankly aren't that helpful in the first place. I have always excelled at math. He will quite often spend a whole lecture period on just one example of one concept of one part of a section of the chapter.
