He is a "alright" professor. Although his tests are pretty simple, he is an hard grader. He barely checks homework. And he is never absent.

Comment:

Nice professor but not helpful at all.The way he grades the test is HORRIBLE. You will regret having him as a professor if you are an A student.He is a good teacher.I learned a lot but this class ruined my GPA. He takes out point on the tests without any reason and he don't even explain why he does that. Don't Take him if you care about getting A.

Great professor helps out no homework is collected however your expected to do it test are all homework or class problems. Boost up your grade just by seeing your effort. Best proff I have had for my math courses. Recommend a hundred percent

Comment:

nice guy but treat you like a first grader. If you ask him any questions or with any topics he will say "you should've learn this in the previous class" His review sheets are all the topics that will be on the test, but no examples. you have to be a genius in math to pass his class.

Comment:

Excellent professor, homework isn't collected but it makes life easier if you do homework questions. He does expect you to know certain things taught in Algebra/Trig as would any other Precalculus professor. He's funny at times and takes his job very seriously and expects the same from his students.

Comment:

He tells you to ask questions but when you do, he makes you feel retarded. His tests are worded in such a way that their almost impossible to understand. He constantly says "you should've learned this in the previous math class" which doesn't help if you enter this class straight from high school. Perhaps one of the worst professors at the college.

Comment:

One of the best math teachers I've ever had. This class is not easy and rightfully so, no college math class should be, however he explains his content extremely well and if you're a hardworking student, you'll easily pass this class. He's very sympathetic to students who try hard, so don't go to class acting like you don't care about it.

Comment:

Just had him for pre-cal in the summer.. other students think the class is hard. this guy teaches well...nothing special about him.. only reason i say he teaches great is 'cause i found no problems with his teaching methods. I'm not a math nerd but got a A- for his class. He HATES LATE STUDENTS. Will brag about it to EVERY1 WHO's LATE.

If you want to understand math and willing to work hard, he's your man. Not only he has necessary knowledge of the subject, he also knows how to teach..and that is a rare gift that only a handful of CITYTECH teachers can boast.
