Comment:

This man is ridiculous. If you're not great at math, DO NOT take this man. He seems so sweet until he starts to argue with students in class because they're asking for help. He gives out 3 exams not including midterm or final. 10 quizzes (5 online, 5 in class). Just don't do it to yourself.

Comment:

This professor was hard, but worth it. The course itself is not easy and there is ALOT of homework required by the department. He goes pretty fast but if you ask questions he will explain and give extra help. I am not good at math, but was able to do well. I did put a lot of effort especially after 10 years of no math. Dont miss class and reviews.

He doesn't explain the lesson well. He doesn't respond to emails or is willing to help you after class. I wouldn't take him.

Comment:

Professor P is ok. I did struggle taking this class, but ended up passing. No curves at all. You have to study a lot and hope to get a passing grade. If you ask for help, Professor P will help. Online homework, a lot of quizzes, tests, and the final. Sort of recommend.

Hated this class. I took it with him I got a D, then I retook it with a different professor and got an A. He can't teach and just confuses you more when you ask for help. Never misses class. Probably the worst professor at Kean.

Comment:

Math is a very difficult subject for me, and this class was a requirement. I was hoping to have support & clarity from the professor, and it was not there. He writes a problem on the board, solves it as hes speaking into the board, then boom! gives u the answer and moves on. He expects u to get it first hand and is very sarcastic if u ask for help.

He's actually really nice. Very helpful. Don't be afraid to asks question but be specific. You have to study. There 9 quizzes and three exams and one final. He will give you reviews for the exams which are really helpful. And there is online homework. I got a A- in the class.

Comment:

He moves too quickly and only grades your test and quizzes. So if you're not a good test taken then you are not going to do well. All he does is stand up in front of class and then shows you how to do the problem, he doesn't teach you. He can be sarcastic and its a turn off when you suck at math like I do.

Comment:

very easy class. not clear on how he teaches but math is not hard for me so it was mostly self-teaching. when asked for help he made it harder. don't take if math isn't your favorite subject.

Did a very poor job explaining the material, moved extremely fast, and was very sarcastic. I did very poorly in the class despite always seeking help. I do not recommend.

The worst teacher I've ever had. Can never answer people's questions and NEEDS to be right about everything and gets mad when he's wrong.

Great instructor, he wants you to do well and he will help you if you ask. Algebra is a challenge for me, and I did okay. Do the homework and the assignments. One of my favorite teachers.
