I dont understand how he managed to make math this difficult. I would absolutley avoid this professor at all costs. If you do take him, be ON TIME and do all the online hw, its the only way to learn

I honestly don't know how this dude got his job. He speaks English well , but is OLD.I took the class in high school and failed this course because he is so difficult and unfamiliar, asks the class to help him with what he does wrong. He's an easy grader. I took. tests not knowing anything and got Cs. UNPREPARED FOR FINAL. Did not learn anything.

Comment:

Avoid at all costs. You will learn nothing from his class. Anything you do learn will be because you have taught yourself. He makes even the most simple concepts confusing. He is kind and always willing to help but being nice isn't enough when you lack teaching ability.

Comment:

He is a very nice man but not a great professor. It's very easy to pass his tests because he is a very lenient grader, but that screws you over for the final. He is very caring and helpful but I don't recommend him if you really want to learn math

Comment:

I don't know how he is a Math professor when he doesn't know the material at all. Very forgetful, rushes through material and doesn't teach the necessary material you need to pass the class. He's not a bad guy but he needs to retire. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!

Comment:

This professor is nice and all, but he can't teach at all.He hardly finishes a problem.In addition he only does the easy problem, which doesn't help when you take the final exam..His test are fairly easy, but i didn't even learn anything from it..He give random grades to students.I didn't get my final yet, but I think i failed it. Avoid at all Cost

Comment:

I feel bad for the guy.I mean he's obviously passionate about math but in my opinion he needs to retire asap!He's just too old&he just commits a lot of mistakes.If you get stuck with him I suggest make friends with SACC tutoring because that's the only way you'll survive this class especially if you're not confident with your skills.

This guy does not prepare you for the final, It does not matter how well you do in the class, you better go to tutoring because you pass the final, Even if you have a 90 test average, you will still fail the course, you might as well not even go to the class. pick another teacher, im telling you, he ruined my first semseter GPA.

Comment:

Do not take this teacher. He doesn't know how to teach the subject in a comprehensible way. He will write the definition straight from the textbook and attempt to do a problem, he'll usually make a mistake then tell us to look in the textbook and learn ourselves. Terrible experience & waste of time.

Comment:

I've never been so confused in my life. He is very unorganized & his lessons are all over the place. His sweating is distracting, he gets intimidated when students are talking, of course we have to talk to eachother to understand the math that he can't explain.HE doesn't even know the math himself... i don't recommend this teacher. He is too old.

Comment:

He is the most incompetent I've ever had at Baruch. He is too old too be teaching because he pretty much lost his memory on math. He's always making mistakes, does not go topic by topic, rushes through important things, does things the more difficult thing.If you want to pass the class you need a tutor and a text book.

He is nice person,but he doesnt know how to teach.A lot of mistakes and cofusing at teaching. You have to study by yourself if you have to take this class.The textbook is your bible for passing the class.

Comment:

He is a very nice professor and tries his best to help the students. I would recommend him if you are okay with math. He does make mistakes, but so far he has been the best math teacher I have had at Baruch. I got a B, but I studied alot on my own and went to SACC. He gives about 3 Tests and I think Extra Credit for Webwork.
