Comment:

Honestly the worst professor at the university. I went to class and in every single lecture this man went completely off topic and would tell jokes only he found funny. It was challenging to stay awake in class and no one interacted because no one knew what he was ranting about a majority of the time. He doesnt like answering questions either.

Comment:

Grade is based on two tests which the lectures do little to prepare you for. You must read the textbook to do well in this class. He does give a full letter grade of extra credit for attendance though, so going to class is worth your time. If you can study well on your own this class isn't so bad, but if you cant I'd stay away from him.

Comment:

This is the most horrible teacher I have ever had. He needs to be fired. He was teaching out of an outdated version of the book. 2 years outdated in fact. The guy cannot teach and his class is a complete joke. Rutgers should be ashamed that they allowed such a horrendous instructor to teach there for as long as he has. STAY AWAY.

Cool professor, however his lectures do almost nothing to prepare you for the exams. However, the exams are taken directly from the text chapters he assigns per exam. He doesn't try to trick you, just read the chapters and you should get AT LEAST a B with minimal effort.

Comment:

He teaches the material well but his lectures are boring so I didnt go to them. His exams are straight from the book and he posts hw on aplia which are HARD!!! he does drop the lowest 3 assignments and curves the exams. If you are too lazy to attend class this is strictly a teach yourself class!!

Comment:

The Worst professor I've ever had at Rutgers!! Professor Graham should be embarrassed for hiring this man. Just because somebody goes to Columbia doesn't mean they could teach. He puts not time and effort into the class, he makes you buy a text book and you must teach yourself. I could have received the same education at the public library.

Comment:

Absolutely the worst professor I've had to date. He is a terrible teacher, makes mistakes in lecture, and does NOT prepare for the exam. About 1/4 of what he says is on the test. His reviews are useless. Wish I knew about this site earlier. He deserves every comment on here. People fail so much in his class he gives huge curves. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

The man simply doesn't know how to TEACH. He may know the material himself but is incapable of explaining and teaching. He should sick to research. I knew on day one that this class would not go well but I stayed to the end thinking it would get better, it never did. Steer clear, if no one registers for his classes they'll have to get rid of him.

Comment:

You cannot understand his English. Makes many mistakes when teaching and fails to correct them. Reteaches many classes. Therefore you are not completely prepared for exam. Also he does not use the book other than to reference to for diagrams. Was not willing to help and is very short if you go meet him during his office hours.

Comment:

I didn't learn a single thing from him. His class is really slow paced and since attendance is not required hardly anyone shows up. His tests were all Multple Choice and they were hard because they asked stuff he never taught. No homework or projects given, but do yourself a favor and find someone else to learn from.
