Comment:

I liked this teacher a lot. I hardly studied at all, went to the math lab a couple of times for assistance, and got an A. I really liked his teaching style. He always finished class early, and missed a bunch as well. I loved the Count from Seaseme Street and Wizard of Oz references. He made the material very easy to understand. Great philosophy!!!!

This guy was nutz!!!! His hair was einsteinesque, his teeth were yellow, he looked like he just crawled out of a cardboard box!!! Terrible at speaking so that anyone but himself can understand. Was way too caught up on sesame street to teach math. brobably hit the .... b4 everyclass. I only showed on quiz days. I'm smart though, ...I got an A.

Comment:

Absolutely horrible. Avoid at all costs. He is NOT helpful. If you have a question, he refers you to Policies & Procedures. If you wish for clarification, he will not give it to you. He is heartless, as well. Avoid, seriously. You won't learn what is needed for upcoming math classes.

I've had better classes. I took this class and it was the first and only "D" I have had in any class in this school. Learned much more from other class.

ha. easy ass class but since i went to 3 the whole semester which are the test days everyone gets behind. theres no point for him to teach. no work at all. doesnt prepare you for your next class you take. I suggest a teacher that really teachs so you can learn

AVOID HIM!! Acts like he is the only one that knows math. He put down the other Math instructors. Treated the students like 3rd graders. I had to drop so I could actually learn Math, not listen to his rants about how smart and important he thinks he is.

Comment:

This guy is hilarious he talks about Columbo in relation to FOILing, or The Count (yes, from Sesame Street) and how he admires he counts, or how dividing by zero is like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. Although crossing the streams saves the Ghostbusters.

Comment:

By far the rudest teacher i have ever had. AVOID this teacher. He thinks were all idiots. His class isn't that hard but if you don't get something, plan on getting a tutor to help you because he is the last one to help.Not avail. during his office hour because he DOESNT WANT TO HELP YOU.

Comment:

I may be a 4.0 student, but till now I had to work my butt off with tutors trying to understand math. Siegal helped me to understand things in the early concepts of math that I just couldn't grasp before. He has alot of opinions and a unique style of teaching that can drive students nuts, but others may appreciate. Self Learners: Take this class!

Comment:

This man has no business in a classroom with students. If you take this class and want to know how to do algebra you will be highly disappointed. He is a teacher that 20/20 should do a report on. DO NOT waste your time or money.

Comment:

This course is weak. It came nowhere near covering the material in the regular Algebra 2 course. In fact, I am planning on auditing the course again this summer at the college, even though I have an A in the class. I’m just not prepared for Trig. I expected to be spending an hour on problems each night, five days a week. I spent less then 10 m

Comment:

Very impetuous style of teaching the subject matter. Absolutely a perfect class for someone who is already familar with the stuff. Four Tests...NO HOMEWORK...Also, you can count on not forming any life-long friendship with you professor. He comes across as being fairly rude.

Comment:

I get math,always do well in math. My problem is not with the easiness of his class. His class is easy as long as you take the tests and get the idea. He is horrible at "teaching." He doesn't even teach at all. And try to ask him a question, he'll flip out over something stupid. AVOID THIS TEACHER!!! He needs to be fired!!!!!

This teacher apparently wrote the textbook that we use for the class. The book is horrible in my opinion. It shows examples of how to work problems out, but not a lot of explaination.

HOrrible experience if you take this class be sure he writes down your grade. I am protesting an F because he failed to write my grade down. Do not take him if you want to go on in math.

This guy is such a bad teacher! If you need help with math, DO NOT TAKE HIM! The tests are easy and short but I still do not recommend.
