Comment:

Hes a professor doesnt teach because hes exam are take home so you have to teach your self. Its an easy A if you really try to understand and use chegs and youtube. He does give a lot of hand outs. Try to collect them if you dont want to pay for Cheggs or for a tutor

EASIEST CLASS TO PASS!!!! Although he is a TERRIBLE teacher, he doesnt give any quizzes or in class exams. All exams including the final are take home. He gives out worksheets everyday so dont throw those away because it will be really helpful for when do you the take home exams or if you dont get it, go to a tutor and they will help. EASY A+!!

He does not care. And he looks like he hates his job. When you ask questions he tries to answer as fast as possible and doesnt care if you get it or not. He gives take home exams but its basically a teach it yourself class.

Bernard bell is the best! it is easy to pass his class. he does not give projects, h.w or quizzes. he only gives 5 exams and 1 final exam. All exams are take-home exams(including the final). he grades you by counting your top 3 scores for his 5 exams and your score for the final exam. this means your 2 lowest score for his exams will be dropped.

Great professor!! He knows how to teach, but the problem is that he doesnt show how to solve problems step by step. Be prepared to teach yourself and get tutoring, which would help you a lot. His class is just 5 unit exams, 1 cumulative final, but 2 lowest scores of the unit exams will get dropped. Good luck! :)

Really great professor. All of his exams are take home including the final. Only 5 regular exams, 2 of the lowest grades are dropped. And there is 1 cumulative final. Very easy to get an A with this professor. Only problem is that his voice is not projective, but other than that he is a great professor to take. I highly recommend him.

ALL take home exams, 5 during the semester worth a total of 65% of your grade he drops the 2 lowest grades. Final exam take home also 35% of your grade. He gives 7days to complete exams 10 days to complete final. Enormous amount of worksheets and handouts save each and every one and you'll do great. Attendance not counted.

I really enjoyed his class! Go to class, copy everything he says, and do the take home exam. It was that simple. The trick is good note taking, because he explains things so well that you do not need to ask questions! I also LOVE the fact that you have a week to do the take home exam! Very nice gentleman. He is very approachable! Take his class!

Took him for math 119, It was a prerequisite for math 120. Easiest class ever. He shows you how to do it in class and you copy it and print. Easy A, take him for sure.

Comment:

He's a great professor if you're good at math and can actually teacher yourself. All the tests are take home which makes getting a good grade in statistics so much easier. I'd honestly take his class again. He does help you if you have any questions about the test. If you're not the best mathematician then I don't recommend taking him.

This class has had to have been the most BORING class I've ever attended. I promise you I basically taught myself. I'm currently serving in the ARNG and I gave this professor my schedule on which Friday's I'd miss class. I did everything! The day we had the "final" I missed class and he said it was okay don't worry about it... why did I get a D?

This professor is just horrible. If your the type that needs to interact with the professor or you need the professor to look alive during class, this class is not for you. He reads straight from the math textbook and doesnt make eye contact with the class. He looks like he doesnt want to be there. I didnt even attend class just used textbook, DONT

Comment:

Professor Bell was a very interesting professor. If you are able to teach yourself throughout the class, then you can take him. If not, he does not explain problems well and he is very confusing. He does not use BlackBoard which is highly inconvenient. I would take him again though since the work he gives is extremely easy.
