Comment:

Does a very good job at explaining the material. He only takes the best 4/5 tests and does not grade HW at all. He also exempts A avg students from the finale. The only problem you may have is that he never repeats himself. So if you are going to take this class I suggest you take really good notes. Also he does not give EC. Over all good prof.

Comment:

Very good instructor. There is homework assigned after every class, but he will only ask for questions without checking it. 5 tests throughout the regular semester, the lowest score being dropped. Students with A's in the class are exempt from the final. Nice A.A. credit class for arts majors.

Comment:

At first I was intimidated by him because of his stern look, but after talking to him a very sweet man. I love how he doesn't use My Math Lab or BB, and his homework is not mandatory. Participate in class because that does count as a grade. I would definitely recommend him to any student.

Gives 5 tests, drops lowest, and if you don't have an A by the last test, you're required to take final. Very straightforward, once he goes forward he doesn't go back (except for final exam review). PTs are exactly like the tests. Went into final with 80%, afterwards - I ended up with an A int he class. EASY if decent/good in math.

Once he moves on he never goes back, so don't miss a class. Was lucky to get a 91 on a test that I missed 1 day on an important section. HW is not mandatory. He's straight forward. Practice tests are close to the actual tests. I just take notes & do the PT, if I'm rough in an area I do HW questions related to my trouble spot. Overall, EASY class.

Comment:

He is very straight forward,not too hard to keep up. He actually made math pretty easy for me to understand. only 5 test. Attendance is a must. It's not mandatory but if you miss a lecture day, good luck catching up. Very fast paced but will give help if need. But DO NOT ask to revisit a section once he has moved on. Once he's done he's done.

Comment:

Don't ask questions unless you want a sarcastic remark thrown at you. If he is "done" and moved on you better not ask a question on what he just went over. HW not required but questions from HW are on the test that are not included in study guide! DO NOT count on the study guide to pass the test. If your a math genius take him, he will love you

Love his class! He is very straight forward and helpful. I took him for intermediate and now for college algebra. No hw, just 5 tests that are easy if you study. He gives you powerpoint notes to help you study. He's always open for questions if you ask when he is going over it, but he never goes back.

Comment:

Really good professor. He's fast paced and pretty hard on his classes but he does care and he will do what he can to ensure his students pass. He only goes forward and not backwards so if you're confused about something, then ask about it when he opens up the floor because when he says "done" he's moving on. Take him if you can.

Comment:

I am literally awful at math, but I feel like I actually learned something from this man's class. He's super tough and is fast paced, but he always ends class 15-30 mins early and offers additional help.He offers very helpful study guides and helps you as long as you help yourself. As long as you are hardworking, you will pass AND learn.

Comment:

First, if you aren't a fast paced learner, don't go to his class. Second, if you have any questions, be prepared for a sarcastic statement based on your intelligence. Third, if you purchased a textbook, and calculator, use it and your mind or even assistant help from the math lab to the best of your ability, they'll be more helpful for you.

LOVED him as a person but his class is REALLY hard. I am terrible at math, I have only ever passed by turning in homework. In his class there's a total of 5 tests you DONT turn in homework though it is assigned.If your good at math TAKE HIM! Otherwise Goodluck!

Comment:

He was super sarcastic and had a very dry humor that I enjoyed. The tests were simple if you payed attention and took okay notes. You don't need to buy the book if you don't plan on doing the homework, but the homework is very similar to the tests. He was good about answering questions after class. Overall nice guy and easy to understand.

He uses my math lab. The workbook is for homework. Do the homework and ask questions when you don't understand. He doesn't go back in class. Seek extra help during lab or office hours. He's loud but that's just his personality. Professor was very helpful.

Comment:

Best math teacher I've ever had! He's always open for questions if anyone needs help and doesn't move on until everybody who has a question understands the topic. Homework is optional but I strongly suggest doing it to study for his tests. Don't slack off! If you have an A average before the 4th test or the final he exempts you from taking both!

Comment:

Doesn't grade homework but I suggest doing it. Pay attention, he moves very quickly so if you don't ask a question he WILL move on. Don't be intimidated, he is helpful & will help if you ask. Your grade is only based off tests so I would also suggest not missing class if math is not your strong point. Take him if you are good at math.

This professor isn't hard. Just pay attention to his lectures, look at his handouts, actually do the hw beause thats where he gets his test questions from. ask questions if you don't understand or yes he will move on. he always had the answers to my questions they very next class. He is a great professor, just pay attention.

This teacher is nothelpful, he makes students intimadated to ask questons and moves extremely fast paced. I would NOT recommend this professor. If math is not one of your strong subjects dont bother taking his class.
