Comment:

Do not take this guy for online he will NOT teach. Literally no lectures, no teaching, nothing. He tells you examples you can look at in the book but it doesn't even cover it fully usually. He doesn't upload any kind of teachings at all like what? it sucks.

Comment:

Professor Runde is very strict and likes his classes to run smoothly. If you want to mess round in this class, do not take it with him. He translates the lessons very well and I have never been taught algebra as good as he does. You will get a lot of knoweledge out of this class. There is a lot of homework, but he makes this class worth the credit.

Comment:

He is very strict but a very good teacher, if you do the homework and show up to class you will leave understanding the material. I would reccomend him to anyone who is willing to put in the work and genuinely wants to learn math. If you are looking for an easy A, this is not the professor for you. Overall, I had a great experience in his class.

Comment:

Mr. Runde is strict, but he is a great teacher. He does many examples when teaching which helps see how to properly excute the problem. I struggle with math, but he helped me learn the concepts very easily. You must got to class becuase a lot gets covered. Do the homework as well and do not talk in his class.

Comment:

Hes quite strict about things like phones and talking, but his lectures were helpful and fairly easy to understand. A bit fast pace if youre not a friend of math, but nothing that will crush your soul. Do the homework, show up to class, put the work in, and youll be golden.

Comment:

It is a more difficult class if you do not do homework or pay attention in class. Be prepared to work, take notes, and practice the whole duration of the class. He is somewhat strict and can be a bit snarky, but overall he is a good teacher and goes very in depth explaining subjects, but you have to put in work.

Professor Runde changed my life in regards to math! He is a WONDERFUL professor! I have dropped out of 2 math classes prior to taking his class because math is my WORST subject. I now have a new found love for math because of this man. He is patient, well spoken, strict, and informative. Show up to class and come on time and you will be set!

Comment:

He does not give test reviews but if you follow his directions your note book should be organized well enough so youll know what to study for upcoming tests. He also uses the class period before the test to review and answer any questions. He is a very strict professor and attendance is mandatory but hes awesome.

Comment:

Runde's lectures are informative and perfect, his strictness creates for a good environment for learning but sometimes goes too far with it which can temporarily hinder students. Participation in class is required, listen to his instructions exactly (get out your calculator and book out at the beginning of class). Do the work and you'll pass.

Pretty good at explaining math, learned a lot from taking his class. Just keep up with the homework and do what he asks of you and you'll be okay. might come off strict or brash, but he just wants you to learn. Ask questions, it's encouraged.

Comment:

Math is one of my least favorite subjects but the way he explains everything is awesome. He is a great instructor and the best math instructor I have had thus far. The textbook and homework in online on MyMathLab. The tests count the most. Be ready to do a lot of homework through this course

Comment:

Runde is definitely a by the books professor. You have to show up on time, not be on your phone, and participate but he goes into detail with problems and explains everything thoroughly. There is a lot of homework and you have to bring your textbook to class every day which can be annoying but put in the tiniest bit of effort and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Runde teaches you the formulas using the easiest problems in the book during class. Then tests you on the hardest or trickiest questions out of the book. (he never covers those in class) Mymathlab WILL confuse you!! Runde will penalize you for using the bathroom or being 1 min late. Suggestion - buy 5 subj, notebook and color graphing calculator.

Comment:

Professor Runde is one of those teachers that cares much about his job and if you are going to take future math classes after College Algebra I would highly recommend taking his class. This teacher has his quirks getting easily irritated with misbehaved students but if you show up "ON TIME" and "DO THE HOMEWORK" you'll do fine.

I don't like math and I couldn't get the professor I wanted and Runde came recommended so I took him. He's a pretty good professor, this isn't my best subject but he teaches it well and it makes it easy to understand. He will answer any questions you have. Textbook is super important, need a graphing calc, and mymathlab access. Good class, study!!!

Comment:

Dr. Runde is a pretty solid math teacher. He has his quirks and seems to get angry with students fairly easily (his method of punishment usually involves public embarrassment. DO NOT TAKE OUT YOUR PHONE) He goes over the material in depth and makes it clear that it is the student's responsibility to review it. "stupid" questions embarrassment

Comment:

Dennis is a very good math teacher, but emphasis on the word teacher. He is very strict and does not tolerate talking, phones, or anything but your attention on him. He IS good at helping you understand what it being taught, but the only way youll pass is by showing up, doing the homework (lots of homework), and passing the tests. Good luck!
