Comment:

Professor Otto is easily the best math instructor i have ever had. I personally hate math but with his teaching it made it much easier. Our class average was low due to the fact that many students didn't put in the time to study or meet up with him for office hours. He is very helpful and will meet with you whenever and sometimes gives extra credit

Comment:

Ray Otto was a phenomenal professor at WSU. I have never really found math interesting at all, but his lectures were very well organized and easy to follow. Make sure to go to class prepared with the printed notes. There were quizzes every Friday which was not that difficult. Exams were typical. If you put in the work, then it is possible for an A.

He was very good at explaining the more complicated parts and made guided notes that we could print out and follow along if we wanted. He was also very good outside of class, he held multiple review sessions and extended office hours before the final exam.

He was a great professor, always willing to help outside of class and spend extra time if you needed it. He is very understanding and I learned alot from his class!

Comment:

Ray is a professor that you can tell really cares about you. He always encourages you to come to office hours if you need help. Class isnt mandatory (except that there is a quiz every Friday) but if you struggle to understand the material youll get lost if you skip a class. He posts all his notes on Pilot so you can always teach yourself.

Ray is one of the best professors I've ever had, he really makes himself available to help you should you need any. When he goes over the work in class, he is very through and he will help walk you through it. If you do struggle in this class, definitely reach out to him and maybe utilize the tutoring services and you will succeed.

Ray was an awesome teacher. He went through the material at the classes pace, he took time to answer everyone's questions during class and was available every day of the week for office hour tutoring. He even held an extra SI session outside of office hours to help out students who were struggling.

Comment:

Ray is THE BEST professor I have ever had. I honestly believe if i didn't have him I would have failed this class. Im horrible at math but I went to all of his office hours and he even extended them for me. He doesn't make you feel stupid if you don't know something and he breaks things down in way you can understand. Lectures are really good too.

Comment:

Of all the math teachers I've had, he is by far the best. He takes otherwise complicated concepts and breaks them down into patterns and easy-to-digest sections. !!DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK FROM B&N STORE!! Haven't used it once. Quizzes and tests are just like the homework problems he creates. 10/10 wish he would be my future calc prof!

I'm not usually good with any kind of math, but I got an A in Ray's class. Some lessons are pretty difficult, but he always makes sure everyone in his class understands and gets help if needed. On the first day of class he gave a daily calendar covering the whole semester that he followed. Genuinely a great guy and great instructor.

Comment:

He gives you the notes to print. That was totally helpful. He was always available to help, I went in a bunch. He makes tests out of 104 for extra credit He actually learned your name and face which was the first time a professor has done that. If you have a basic knowledge of algebra and pay attention in his class then you will pass with an A.

Always willing to talk with you about anything he is teaching. Always asks if anyone has any questions about anything during his lectures. Always let's students know about his office hours and encourages you to come to them. Treats everyone the same, probably the most fair professor I've encountered.

Comment:

Ray is a nice guy. But the class is structured unconventional, It isn't in the lecture format. The class is more like a study hall/ online class then it is an actual class,Which creates a lot of redundancy. People in the same room asking the same exact questions +10x, this happens on a daily basis.

Comment:

Ray is an overall caring professor. In my class you taught yourself the material, did group work the next day & then took a quiz. The material was not very hard and he was helpful at office hours if you needed the help. If you show up and do you part, the class is an easy A.
