Comment:

If you struggle in math I would not take Chapman. He is very strict, makes you take a pre-test online via mymathlab, and if you do not get a 100% on the pre-test you don't qualify to take the in class test which is of course the graded test. He moves very quickly through subjects, has notes he has pre-written so he barely even explains everything.

Comment:

For those students not strong suited in math, Professor Chapman is not for you. Bearing an attitude of "this is super easy" within lectures, it becomes daunting to ask questions (although, he will become upset if you are quiet in the class). There's no winning here.

Comment:

Despite the reviews, I took this professor and regretted it. First time I have ever withdrawled from having a 4.0 and straight A's in all my semesters. He is super fast with the math material and makes things very difficult with the termology. Gives you an example and expects you to know how to do it without being taught first. Good luck!

Professor Chapman very great teacher! He helps as much as he can & as much as you want him to. Easy class if you pay attention and ask questions! Textbook everyday along with Calculator. Exam is all the information from the test also all tests are multiply choice! Any problem with your personal life he'll take that into consideration! Good luck :)

I went into this class knowing it was going to be somewhat challenging. Do not listen to all these tools saying Chapman is a horrible guy. Yeah his class is hard but never did he talk down to anyone or try to make anyone feel stupid... tests are not that hard either. Please judge this man based off your own experience and not someones elses. work.

Statistics was such an easy class with prof Chapman. Expect daily homework on mystat lab. very doable though &short. 4 tests, I got 96, 90, 100, 97. Final replaces lowest grade. Don't skip class. Bring text and graphing calculator to class daily. He likes to call on students.

This man is the worst human alive. He does not care about his students, talk down to you and makes you feel stupid. If you are a woman or a minority I HIGHLY recommend you stay away

Nice at first. Got 100's on every homework assignment, and even on pre-test. Got my first test and directions are changed, problems are different, and 100 percent different then what he has taught. Teaches the easy parts then leaves you with the hard. Talks down to students, and is intimidating. Still in the class but im going to need a miracle.

Comment:

Professor Chapman likes things done a certain way-respect and showing up early. The homework is tedious, but is necessary to understanding the material along w attending lectures. If you understand the homework, you will get an A on every test. The material applies to real situations, so it is much more interesting than your average math class.

Comment:

He honestly scared me.. Every time a question was asked he'd pretty much talk down to you half the time. You'd have to be a math wizard to pass his class.. If youre someone who needs help with math often, find someone else who will be more patient. 5 mins BEFORE class is considered late. Really?

If anyone in class asks a question he will make that student look stupid. I am a good student, did all homework didn't miss a single day of class. I went to him for help because I was 1 point shy of a B and he said better luck next time.

Comment:

I liked professor Chapman. He stayed on schedule and the syllabus clearly defines how he will grade. Some things in statistics are confusing and you do have to go back over it in homework but its not an easy class, there is no way he teach everything in class so you are 100% clear. That's why he tells you the homework is so important.

Not recommended! I took 2 classes with statistics thinking I should be able to get the class with the same professor. Both of them I took a D -___- 5 tests and a couple of homeworks. Hard class if you ask me.

Comment:

Best college algebra teacher at SPC. Must attend classes and the tests are cumulative each time, so the third test would be on chapters 1,2 and 3. This helps, because the last test is very similar to the final. Easy A, only thing is that he only collects homework sometimes and you never know when that will be. Other than this, I highly recommend!

Comment:

Seriously save yourself the trouble and money and DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. The worst, most belittling teacher. Such an attitude towards his students, and super fake friendly. He resists questions and his notes are more like outlines of what you should teach yourself. He claims that 3-4 minutes before class starts is late…. so inconsiderate. :/

Great teacher. Failed College Algebra 3 times before I took his class and ended with an A. VERY strict about tardiness and class policies. Will make you feel embarrassed if you interrupt class. Besides that excellent teacher. Very helpful. Great notes, doesn't make you do more homework then is needed, in his office when he says he will be.

Comment:

I took Chapman for stats. He always tells us we can see him after class pr during his office hours. Very strict when it comes to attendance and being on time. Other than that great teacher. Collects random homework samples to see if you're doing the work for 5pts each and offers easy extra credit assignments.
