Comment:

Craig Turner is not a terrible teacher, but this class may be one you have to do more of learning it on your own. If you haven't previously taken Pre Cal in high school, I don't recommend taking Dr. Turner. The way he grades is harsh, but always remember to put more than you think you need. He is a nice guy outside of class, though. Go see him!

Comment:

DO NOT take. He is was too hard of a grader and grades on grammatical issues rather than if you did the math correct. Takes points off for things he never taught. Doesn't answer questions in class. Doesn't look away from the board or his desk to answer any questions or help anyone.

Comment:

I did the majority of homework in Dr. Turner's class while also attending most of the classes and doing fairly well (compared to the class) on the tests. The problem is Dr. Turner is a math teacher who will count off if you misspell words, the class test average is very low. He seems fine till the tests which make this seemingly easy class a pain.

Comment:

Y'all Craig is actually the worst professor in the world. He takes off many points on tests for things it does not say to do in the directions. He doesn't teach anything he tests on, and his tests are graded super harshly. Our class average for each test was always failing. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR GPA TO GO WAY DOWN

Comment:

Terrible lectures, incredibly difficult tests with even harder grading. Course felt like it was more suited to upper-level math students. If you do get stuck in this course READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WORKSHEETS. The work is provided better and more clearly on there and prepares you for the test the best. 3 tests (20% each), HW (10% total), final (30%)

Comment:

Doing the homework really helps before taking exams, and looking over the worksheets helps. Follow how he presents his work on the worksheets he passes out-- at least that's what helped me. He is a nice man and a very, very smart one. His teaching style is very advanced, but if you stop by in his office hours, he is very much willing to help.

Comment:

It would be more interesting to listen to the Windows speech engine narrate the lessons than to attempt to understand this man's teaching. He goes off on tangents a lot and is very difficult to follow. You WILL need to do the homework because that is the only way you will learn anything. He's a nice guy, but teaching sure isn't his strong suit.

Comment:

DO NOT EVER THINK OF TAKING THIS CLASS. Goes off on rants and doesn't really explain topics in depth. Class lectures are literally based off of a worksheet he gives you the first day of class. He is a tough grader too.

DO NOT take this class. Professor is a really tough grader and no matter what you do you will still struggle on every test. Terrible lectures. Smart guy, but he just does not know how to teach a college course.

Comment:

For his test, he wants almost a whole paragraph for the work. Everything has to be specific and make sure to show ALL of your work, even if it is just adding 2 + 2. The online homework is very long. However, if you ask him nicely to extend a homework assignment he most likely will. Go see him in his office hours bc he can help you for the test.

Craig is an overall hidden gem at Georgia College. He assigns take home test that you can work with partners, multiple tries on homework, extends time on practically anything if you ask him. Yes his teaching style is too advance for most if not all his students to understand but regardless he gives material that help you understand what he teaches.

Comment:

I took precalculus in high school, so I thought taking it in college would just be repetition of the same material. BUT it is so much harder. I don't even think the content is that difficult it's just the way he teaches. He writes SO small. I sat in the front row and I still could not see it. PLZ help yourself and find another professor

Comment:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT TAKE HIM!! Monotone lectures with 5 T-shirt variations. If you are stuck in this class at least start a betting pool on which of the 5 colors he will be wearing, because this will be the only exciting thing of the class. Unless of course, a student falls asleep and bangs their head on their desk. IMPOSSIBLE ESSAY TESTS!

Comment:

I would imagine he is the worst teacher at the school. He lectures everyday in a monotone voice and when you ask questions you end up more confused than before. there is no class engagement so forget about asking for help. please do not do this to yourself. I would only recommend if you took whatever class he is teaching prior to taking this.

Comment:

Turner spends all of class lecturing in a monotone voice and gives confusing feedback when asked questions about the homework. Tests are bulky and confusing and he pulls the questions from the most random things that are offhandedly mentioned in the textbook. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. No in class practice. No help. Doesn't care about students.

Comment:

Do not get professor Turner unless you want to lower your GPA. There were a total of five questions the whole semester from the class. The material is extremely in depth, and you will have to teach it to yourself. The class averages for the first two tests were 70. You must explain everything in extreme detail, he takes off points for everything.
