Took Mr. Anderson for Algebra 1033. Class itself is extremely difficult, fast paced and there's so much a professor can do. With that in mind Mr. Anderson is a fair teacher he will work with you & wants you to succeed. He does offer the opportunity for corrections on test problems which helps tons and allows 50% credit on late hw assignment which not all teachers do. He does expect you to know things from past courses and will fast pace through them regardless. Sort of nerdy with lame jokes.
