Comment:

If already know math,and you are only there to pass the class,then go.BUt if you don't know you are not going to lean anything. Everything is power point. Or my math lab. Is really hard to understand how he teaches he does not care if you understood or not he just keeps going .And the final exam is worth 50%or more of your grade hw & quiz 10-15%

I took Prof Shepard for Mtt 1 and he did one amazing thing that im very grateful for and that is he stayed after Saturday for me and two other girls to get the work done on the last day , May not say much as a teacher but as a good person , it does

Comment:

He is the worst instructor I ever had. He doesn?t understand that we are not in his class to listen to his life or wife. Not helpful at all. If you register for his class, expect to get a bad grade. He knows the material, but doesn?t know how to teach it.

Comment:

Summer 2011, Great person-not a Great teacher-if you like to see power points and teach yourself, you would like him very much.He knows the material, but he is not aware that his students are in class to learn and not know about his life and where he comes from.

Comment:

Absolutely one of the worst expireinces of my life. He teaches from powerpoint slides and is unwilling to divert from his slides or schedule to work problems out step by step on the board. I failed his class and I am currently taking it in the summer and I have the highest grade in the class. If you dont already know math, choose another teacher.

Comment:

Unbelievably bad. If you need a professor who is clear, concise, approachable, professional, and who stays on topic, he is not your man. Nice person, but a horrible communicator. Lectures are confusing, and tests always contain info not covered in class. Excellent book and on-line resources through my math lab, but you have to teach yourself.

Comment:

He's ok if you already have an idea of what you are doing. Most of his lectrues are done via My Math Lab. He NEVER uses the text book, all class work and homework is done online and he doesn't cover the material well. Pretty much, you end up teaching yourself. I wouldn't reccommend him if you're like me, not good at math.

Comment:

This guy is the worst!! he assumes that you already know everything. How is he a teacher? I pretty much just get the stuff we need to learn from him and tutor myself which is so frustrating. His gives out so many difficult word problems during the test. He is absolutely one of the worst teachers know to man kind and thats being nice.

Comment:

This teacher stays very busy. Most times Too busy to ever help his students. I had to go to administration several times with my class about his teaching. He refuses allows 1 question per student & will not go over the work he assigns. He uses a video which goes too fast & doesnt have office hours unavailable after class to speak either.

Comment:

He knows math ill give him that but he does not teach (turns on some lady on the projector)old school is what he is.He is never available to help. has unreasonable office hours and gives short answers to questions. He goes through sections way to fast and does not provide study aids. Get ready to re-teach things to yourself.

Horrible teacher!! He is never in class and when he is he shows up 15 minutes or more late. He doesnt actually teach, he shows videos of other teachers teaching! Waste of money!!! I would never recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

Had this class during Spring 08, he is very knowledgeable within MTH3. He is from the "old school" and would not cover the same area more than twice. Most of his quizzes and test are not what was covered during the class. Was very hard class but I was not good in MTH3 (I failed). He is a good teacher for someone that already knows Algebra.
