Comment:

He's a nice teacher and gives plenty opportunities for extra credit. He's not the best at explaining and doesn't keep much online so if you miss class and don 't really have any friends in there then it'd be hard to catch up. Overall cool guy.

Prof. Rostoker is AMAZING. love the way he manages his class. You get 5% extra credit for turning in the HW the day it is assigned. HW is easy and only a few problems. Gives test review packets which are pretty much the exam. Highly recommend!!

Nice guy, lots of extra credit. If you do all the assignments the midterms and final will be really easy.

Comment:

Instructor Rostoker is incredibly nice and easy to understand. Read the sections before class and do not be shy to ask for help in or out of class. Friendly demeanor and helluva good guy. Be present as often as always but especially for the first 3 weeks. If you show that you care about your grade he is both lenient and helpful. YOU ROCK ROSTOKER!!

Sweetest math teacher ever! The trick is to read the sections before class, then he is easy to understand! He doesn't require tons of HW, and most all work is done on class time.

Comment:

Class has plenty of oppurtunities to improve your grade (in class assignments, extra credit) however he does a terrible job of explaining the math problems to the class. Don't take if you don't pick up math easily as you will find that it is a very hard class to follow...

The best math teacher I've ever had, he makes math much easier than what it actually is. I definitely recomment this instructor, take him, it is worth it.

The best teacher ever! I am bad at math & I got a B. He gives lots of extra credit. The tests are just like the sample practice questions from the homework. Just study those problems & you will be fine; easy test.

He is a very nice man who knows his math.If people have problems in the class he is more than willing to help them understand.Super easy class and 1 page of notes for all tests, 2 for the final.If your smart you can figure out that the review problems given 10 days before each test, are almost identical to the test itself..1 page of notes, write sm

Comment:

His appearance isn't great & everyone makes fun of him I feel bad. He means well & tries hard 2 explain the best he can. He was fairly easy & I got a B. He is quiet & does write messily..but u do manage 2 get out quite a bit early every class!! That was nice but it is kind of self taught.

He is very hard to understand! He teaches in a way that is easy for him to understand, if you ask him to go over something again he will, but in exactly the same way! If you have a hard time in Math I don't recommend him!
