Comment:

I took 1400 over the summer and Mr. O did his absolute best to teach us 16 weeks of math in 8 weeks. I actually grew to like math despite the crazy fast pace that summer classes have. His tests are straight to the point (may have a few curveballs) and he's ready for questions. do the hw because thats essential to this class and knowing the material

Comment:

The best math professor Anoka Ramsey has to offer, Mark did an amazing job teaching me linear algebra so much so that while I'm at the U of M currently I'm acing my linear algebra class offered there without even attending lecture just based off everything Mark taught me. I started his class not knowing anything, finished the class with an A+. 5/5!

Mark definitely knows his stuff and is there to help students as much as he can. He makes the material as clear as possible during class and is very open to questions in and out of class. Hes been super helpful and I would definitely take him again!

Comment:

Professor Omodt was a good Calculus teacher, he was very helpful if you make use of his office hours, which I recommend. The only thing I didn't like is that I felt like I had to teach myself a lot of the material. Homework was not graded until the end which determined if he'd bump your grade. This was a very hard class, but he was helpful.

Comment:

Mark is one of the best profs Ive had. He is clear in lecture, willing to help, and elaborates well on non-intuitive concepts. Take his class. One thing you absolutely need to do is homework. This is the main basis for his lectures. When they arent homework-based, lectures can be very interesting and challenging. This course is very managable.

Comment:

Was quite nervous going into calc because I struggled in trig. However, Mark is focused on making students understand concepts. There were test corrections for each test which helps you learn everything you might've missed and he was always available during office hours. Ask questions during the lectures! Nice guy who really knows his material.

Comment:

I took mark in Math 250. I struggle with math and does not come easy to me. Mark helped me through the course and helped me understand it better. He gives extra points on tests if you do corrections and meet with him. He also gives extra points for taking notes. If you have trouble with math like me, I highly recommend taking him.

I have taken Mark's class from fundamental math all the way to Calculus. Mark is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. His tests and homework are all straight forward and he does an excellent job in lectures helping you both master the material and understand its meaning. Because of him I now love math. Mark, you are the best!!!!

Comment:

Mark shows and emits a level of dedication unparalleled by any professor on campus. While most professors show lack of interest in teaching a remedial math course Mark made the class both fun and challenging. With his problem sets he adds flair and interest to boring and tedious book work. If it weren't for Mark I would hate math still.

Great professor! Had him for calc 1 and would definitely take him again. Can seem like he's bemused by your questions, but don't let that turn you off! If you have a good attitude with him and ask questions, he'll do everything he can to help you pass. Really takes time to make sure you understand the material. Make sure you do the homework, though

Overall, he is a good man. His teaching style is just you doing the homework and coming in the next day for questions (even though we have a free math center downstairs to ask questions if needed). The teaching style did not work for me, as I need to be taught how to do the math before I just go and do it.

Very smart man that gives some great lectures. Spends half of class going over questions from the homework (which is not graded) and then segways it into new material. Overall, makes sure you understand the topic but his calc class is tough as expected.

Mark really cares that everyone understands. Not much homework for credit, just challenging group problem sets that he gives you at least a week to complete. Definitely not an easy A, but he teaches so well that you'll appreciate the work. GO TO CLASS! You'll understand the material so well! Overall great professor.

Comment:

This is my second class with Mark. He is without a doubt the best math teacher I have ever had. He goes over the material in class and allows for a large portion of class to be left for questions. He knows his material very well and he genuinely cares about the students that want to learn. If you want to learn, in Marks class, you will.

Mark is not only good at teaching but he also genuinely cares about his students success. If you need help, go straight to him. He is extremely welcoming and WANTS to work with you to help you understand the material. That said, almost all of your grade is based on tests.

Comment:

He definitely knows math, I felt however his teaching skills kinda sucked for me. His lectures consisted mostly of students asking questions from their homework and him very briefly going over them, and the last 20 mins of each class he again briefly went over some concepts of each chapter. Relies way too much on homework, I wouldn't recommend.

Comment:

Omodt was a great professor. I had him when I was at Anoka Ramsey for Calc 1, and Linear Algebra. He was an amazing teacher who really focused on making sure that his students understood the material. He was amazing in lecture and was super helpful during office hours. I really respect him and would recommend him to everyone for any level of math.
