Comment:

Very very nice teacher. He really wants you to understand and in the end he's very generous with your grades. I feel bad saying this because he's so nice, but I agree with the others: There's teachers that don't make the problems as complicated as he does... But ask, and he'll help you with anything!

Comment:

This guy is really super nice and is very generous with grading but can't teach math at all! Not clear at explaining problems at all. He makes the problems seem way more complicated then they really are. This class was super hard to me. The whole class had trouble. I would only recommend taking if your really good at math.

Comment:

I love math, but this class has done nothihng but strain my patience and waste my time. The teacher is monotone, screws up his own examples and fails to teach anything new until the last 20 minutes of class. Even then, the new stuff is rushed and incomprehensible. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

Maybe a good teacher for those just learning; however, he was way to complicated for me. He teaches his own methods (other than what most know already) and has confusing instructions such as "find the ways to solve but do NOT solve". Very boring class as well. I just stopped going.

Comment:

This professor is great. He will occasionally go into Math tangents and THAT can get confusing, but he's only trying to show you "other ways to solve". He's very helpful and patient. Notes are allowed for the exams. Good luck.

He is a very fine teacher, a bit old school. He really wants you to do well. He answers all question no matter how stupid. I have never passed a math class and I passed with flying colors.

Comment:

The Worst professor I have ever had in Moorpark. He is very difficult to understand, when he teaches, you don't see what he is doing,you are looking at his back. The tests are extremely difficult. He doesn't take the test questions from the book like he says. He rearranges the problems to make you more confused. I gave up and went to the library.

Comment:

I've always been horrible at math but got an easy A in his class. A truly nice guy, really wants his students to do well. He's almost too lenient with his grading, will often lower the amt. of points possible on a test so people will do better. If you can't pass math with him than you're a lost cause cuz it doesn't get easier than this teacher.

.... However his tests are based on how he taught you and his techniques, which are not easy to grasp. He is a kind person and easy to talk to one on one. So if you take this class good luck!

Comment:

Attendance is important. However, attending is a waste of time. He can be very boring. The class seems to last forever. He also tries to cram a lot of material in one class. He refers to other math classes and how this math is a base for other courses. There are not that many tests and practically no homework. However his tests are based on how h

Comment:

He tries to be helpful, and can be at times, he just isn't that great of a teacher. If you ask something to be explained, he'll explain it, but cross your fingers that it's in a way you can understand. But he's a real nice guy, and tries his hardest.

Comment:

This man is the kindest teacher and will go out of his way to help you. He doesn't assign much homework so if you need that to get the math down he's not for you but if you are a self starter and can learn the math on your own he is the perfect teacher. He is classy, understanding, and a quality person who is compassionate to his students.

Comment:

Anyone who says he is not helpful has never actually asked for it. If you show that you are trying by doing your homework and staying in class, he will bend over backward to help. Yes, most of the class failed. Most of the class also left halfway through (Only about 15% stay til the end). By girlfriend has a math disability and got a B. Hard tests.
