Comment:

For starters, this dude is jerk. His grammar is atrocious (unaware of the difference between "your" and "you're") and his understanding of canvas is nil. He is condescending in his responses, acting like its the students fault that he doesn't know what hes doing. Also still uses flash player??? No idea how this guy is on payroll still. AVOID

Comment:

Very unprofessional, take-home quizzes and open-note exams were the only reason why I passed. Doesn't explain certain equations correctly and always makes way too many mistakes, not on purpose either. Spends way too much time on problems, and has trouble with them, even if it is an intro class. Even though you can pass, you won't learn anything.

Comment:

Awful. I thought I was being pranked the entire time. Never have I ever had a professor as unprofessional as he was. Prof. Boman never comes on time, is unorganized, and is very condescending. He'll spend an hour on a question no one asked for, is always vague about the exams. Buy the solutions manual, take notes on the powerpoint, you'll be solid.

Comment:

From three years at macomb, clearly the worst professor by far. Never truely teaches a single thing besides slides that were shown on about 2 days out of the whole semester. Besides Labs that count for a grade there is no point in showing up for the class, professor arrives late every class and does book problems for 1-2 hours (for each question).

Comment:

He teaches you out of the book, the book is not 100% useful. Youre better off studying from Khan Academy. The cool thing about Prof. Boman is that when he grades tests, if the vast majority of the students gets the same answer wrong, hell give everyone an extra 5 points on the test. (So if you answered correctly, thats extra credit).

Comment:

On time? This professor doesn't know the meaning of that. Never heard that, never felt that. We'll be waiting for 10 minutes, and when he finally shows up we'll have to wait another 20 for him to get organized. Often talks to students like they're dumb when they ask questions. The powerpoints help on the tests; but his lectures do not. HEADACHES!!!

Comment:

Worst professor at Macomb by far. He shows up late to his own class every day and will keep you after class is over. He never knows how to do labs. Every class he goes over problems on the board but he never solve them so you waste the whole class trying to find his mistake. Do not take his class

Do not take this professor. He is by far the worst youll have. He never comes prepared, he is usually late. He leaves class at least twice a class. Does not know how to teach.

Comment:

AWFUL. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. Extremely rude. Doesn't even know what he is talking about half of the time. Does math problems on the board wrong. Unorganized. Gives a test the last 20 minutes of the class and expects you to finish it. Gives a study guide the day before a test that doesn't help. I would give a zero

Comment:

This class has a different type of challenge which is how to make friends, and more particularly specific friends who have all the assignments and the exams already. Believe me, you won't get an A in this class without their help because you will be tested on something you should be taught which doesn't happen in this class. GOOD Luck!

He is very unorganized. He doesn't like questions. He is very boring. He has you watch discovery channel videos and fill out video quizzes, be sure to pay attention. Read the book He keeps you until the class is over.

Comment:

If you take him, be prepared to teach yourself. He teaches off of old powerpoints that he dislikes and with animations that take him forever to pull up. If the class is four hours long including lab, he will use all the time up. He will never let you go early. If you have to leave early then you lose credit for lab. He is rude to everyone.

Comment:

Tried taking physics over the summer with this professor and quickly realized I couldn't with him as professor. He actually confused me more than he helped me. I actually learned more from a guy in the class with me but I eventually gave up and dropped. Joke that he is allowed to teach

Comment:

If you're the type that needs a good teacher to learn the subject, do NOT take physics with this professor. He doesn't know the subject very well and will constantly get example problems wrong. He pretty much rambles all class. Asides from that, he grades pretty standard compared to other math classes so if you can learn it yourself, good luck!
