Really nice person but not very good at explaining things. He makes things more confusing than they need to be and if you ask him to explain he simply repeats what he said before.

Comment:

These people who rate him poorly are just flat out liars. His teaching style is A1. He basically does the notes for you in a very organized fashion where it's easy to refer to. It's true that there are no daily grades, but his tests are very much like the test reviews. For the final, he lets you see all exams and take notes from them. Take him!

Comment:

I took him for Precal & Cal. Absolutely amazing. Kindest guy ever. Sure the subject can be hard, but that's why he assigns optional (but highly recommended) HW & test reviews. He is easily accessible outside of class and you can ask him to work out anything for you and he will. He even stays past his open office hours!! Never told me once to leave.

His Test are very very hard. even if you complete all of the homework that is not mandatory and study the study guide it is still extremely hard. I came into this class confident about math, but left feeling like i was bad at math.

DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG IN MATH. His lecture are heavy and his test are extremely difficult. He is a nice professor but he is not helpful at all. I would not recommend taking his class if you are not strong in Math.

Comment:

If you want to pass Math, DO NOT take him. I have to drop this class due to his teaching styles and no daily grades. His test are extremely hard and his review doesn't help at all. If you are like me who is struggling with Math, I wouldn't recommend taking his class. He is very nice to be honest but his test are insanely long and difficult.

Comment:

He is the HARDEST professor ever. There is no daily grades for this class so the only way to pass this class is to PASS THE TESTS. His tests worth 60%, and you have to actually know more than the review that he provided to pass. His lecture are also VERY LONG and he shows you the long ways on how to do it without shortcuts. I do not recommend him.

Comment:

He's my favorite math teacher i've had so far. He has long lectures but he teaches well and is always available to help you after class or whenever he is in his office. You wont ever turn in homework because it's just there for you to do outside of class, so all the grades he puts in are test grades. I would definitely recommend him and retake him.

Mr. Tate is a very good teacher, his lectures are long and drag on sometimes but he will take the time to answer every question you have in detail. If you skip class you will miss a lot of material. His exams are very straightforward. He is very devoted to helping you outside of the classroom. His class is very hard but he is there to help.

Comment:

He is the nicest guy you will ever meet. He stays after& answers questions. There is homework given for each lecture but these are not for a grade. All your grades will be exams &a common assignment. The tests are hard& hes a picky grader. Cal 1 is hard &If you think you'll need daily homework grades to get a descent grade i'd pick another teacher.

Make sure you don't miss any of the written assignments. Ask for help if you need it. Tests are never as hard as the mymathlab homework can be.

Is very precise and clear with lecture material, writes EVERYTHING down so you don't miss any steps. Pay attention, take notes, do all the assigned homework and study until you can understand the material and you will pass. Not an easy class.

Comment:

The most difficult class in my degree; says he gives "partial credit" but only gives partial credit for petty mistakes--any other mistakes, 0 for the question. However, he's a very friendly and helpful guy. Just expect to make this class your LIFE if you want to pass.

Hardest class I have ever taken. It;s pointless to get an A. I would be happy just to get a C. It is possible to get an A. Your insanity is the price.

Comment:

He is a nice guy and loves to make jokes. However, he only believes in the textbook and nothing else. good luck trying to apply what you think you have learned and hope you can pass the tests. Make sure you are able to get it right the first time because he believes mymathlab is EVIL. if you take his course be prepared to retake algebra again

Comment:

Really kind. He has a quirky sense of humor and he tries beyond limit to help you in every aspect possible. I hate math, I've never understood it but when I went to him, he saw that I was trying and now sometimes I have extra points of my exams.... The worst thing is that his tests are really hard. He makes you work and the homework is brutal.
