Chamberlin explains math really well and cares about his students. Tests are reasonable if you study. It is a 5 unit class so expect a lot of work.

Let me tell you now, if you don't have hours to spend on hw and studying this class will be too much; it should be balanced with a lighter course load. He is an average professor, wouldn't take this class again.

Comment:

Passionate about math, but not a good communicator. He posts his lecture notes on-line; great, but they do not explain the concepts that are needed to understand the material. I wish he left room for for discussion in class. He grades very harshly without much feed back. I plan to retake this class from someone else; its too important!!

I am a sophomore in college and I have not taken math since my junior year of hs. The material was really challenging and I did decide to drop this class, but he is a good prof and explains things really well. Math is math so you need to be prepared and dedicate a lot of time to this class. Study and pay attention, ask for help and you will do fine

Comment:

Best teacher I've had at Palomar. He really cares for his students and wants them to do well. However, it is math so you do have to focus and practice in order to do well. He gives extra credit quizzes as well. Show up and do the homework and you should get a good grade.

Comment:

I am horrible at math and I have struggled for so long to actually understand the process. If you need a different/better explanation than what you've received in the past I really do recommend this teacher his lectures and explanations are really great at helping you understand. Its a moderate amount of homework and the tests are not too bad

I took Mr. Chamberlin for a summer semester. It was a 16 week course taught in 6 weeks. Although tough, Mr. Chamberlin did a fantastic job at making sure we understood the information. The way he structures his class is very effective. If you show up, participate, and do the HW you will get a good grade.

Comment:

Do not take this class unless you have all the time in the world to do homework and study. He rushes all of his lectures which are only doing examples instead of thoroughly explaining the section. He assigns so much homework and it is very hard to keep up with. Nice guy, but would not recommend taking him unless you're a genius in math.

Comment:

Well, he is a nice guy but what i didn't like is that he teaches TOO FAST and RUSH every section in math, also gives too much homework! And i honestly hate that when we begin in class, he will say negative things like if the math class is too difficult then the class is not for you etc, He repeats it over and over and gets really annoying -.-

Overall hes a nice guy with a good sense of humor. If you take 135, be prepared to review the homework and study guides. The tests werent easy by any means, but if you take his advice and review the homework and lectures then you should be fine. Make sure you go to class unless youre a math genius.

Comment:

Math 205 is hard, so don't expect it to be easy. Professor Chamberlin makes this class as easy as it can possibly get. He cares about your understanding and he actually tests your understanding on final exam, so try to prepare yourself during the semester.

Tests are exactly like the homework, often the same problems. 90% of the grade is tests but He is always willing to help and a very nice guy. Understand the homework and you will do very well. No textbook required everything is on his website which is very easy to use.

I LOVED Professor Chamberlin! Awesome, clear, CLEAN professor who cares about his students. Wish I could have him for every math class. Makes concepts easy to understand. Homework load is reasonable. Tests are easy if you study. Above all, just a fantastic guy to be around, doesn't cuss, very friendly and approachable, and wants you to succeed.

Tests are worth 65% of your grade and he does not post grades. Be aware of your test grade through the semester if you want an A. I absolutely loved his class. I love how he teaches and he gives SO much extra help through his videos, pre-tests, and practice problems. He genuinely wants the class to do well. If you take his class, put in the effort.

He is a great professor. Clear, organized lectures along with his own videos of math how-to videos. Great test prep too and he does offer some extra credit, which you won't need if you study what he asks you to.
