Comment:

I had him for Calc I and Calc II and he was great. He is very lenient with his grading and if you do the reviews that he hands out and ask questions when you don't understand you'll pass his class. MyMathLab can be a bit difficult but just use SymboLab for questions you don't understand and bring it up to him he can almost always clear things up.

PROS: practice exams are the same as in class ones just with diff numbers, really nice guy if you're a good student, explains the (COOL) reasoning behind concepts CONS: MyMathLab is a nightmare, doesn't teach very well, not overly lenient with partial credit RANDOM TIDBIT: I envy his graphing skills so much! He is an extraordinary artist!!

Comment:

Absolutely terrible. He is rude and disrespectful toward students. I got in a car accident before class and told my friend to tell him, he shrugged it off and said nothing to me when I managed to make it to class just 5 minutes late because I was worried about what he would think. He is an unfair grader. He is not accessible outside of class.

Comment:

His "teaching" consisted of him telling you to finish all the assignments and exams by their due dates. If you're taking the online course be prepared to teach yourself the entire course as the "teacher" doesn't even attempt to involve himself past sending an occasional email letting you know a test is due that day. Expect no leniency whatsoever.

Comment:

Worst professor i have ever taken. His HW consists of 5 problems, but each problem has 21 steps to it. And if you've ever used Mymathlab, you realize how much this sucks. Not only that, but he picks the most tedious problems for HW. Very frustrating professor, clearly no passion for teaching, it's just a paycheck, and all around bad person.

I thought he was an amazing professor and would definitely take him again. Brilliant man, and excellent at teaching concepts.. He may seem a little difficult, but his exams are literally just like his study guides

I thought he was a really great professor. If you want to learn, he's the best at explaining concepts and logically making your way to an answer; it's a lot better than mere memorization!

Very arrogant and difficult to understand. He doesn't like it when students show work as he thinks it looks cluttered and disorganized. Would not recommend

Comment:

I don't go to CCM, but I wanted to take this class to lighten my load come fall semester. By far the rudest, most inconsiderate professor I have ever had. He couldn't care less if you learn the material or not, and he is the least friendly person to communicate with. It takes him too long to respond to emails, which is important in an online class.

Comment:

You have to go to class to learn the way he does the work so you can get full credit on the test. He doesn't explain anything very well. He will make fun of you if he thinks that your question is a "dumb" question. He adds questions on the test that he didn't go over in class. The homework is harder than in class. If you end up with him, good luck!

Comment:

One of the worst experiences in a classroom I have ever experienced. I knew I was in trouble when he said "The american education system is terrible and that they give the answers to tests. I expect half of you to fail, because thats the way it should be." I do know we are called Harvard on the Hill but he thinks we are are Harvard... I dropped it

honestly the worst professor I've ever had. I strongly recommend not going anywhere near his class. I had to rely on the online homework to learn and pass the class.

Comment:

There's no doubt this professor is knowledgeable on his subject, but when it comes to actually teaching it he's a lost cause. No practice problems are given during class. I taught myself statistics by doing the online homework; hours of it. Repeats himself too much about things that are irrelevant. Probably the worst teacher I've ever had.

Comment:

Hands down one of the most unhelpful professors I've ever had. I was optimistic at the start of the semester, but soon afterwards I realized this was going to be an extremely difficult class. He was really rude towards his students and treated us like we we're stupid every time we asked a question. If you can avoid it, DON'T take his classes!
