He's new at Valley this semester and I got stuck with him. However, I'm pleased to report that he is an excellent teacher. He's entertaining and eccenteric but can control his classroom. Knows his stuff and makes it accessible, very clear in expectations and presentation of subject matter. Highly recommend but keep in mind that Geometry is hard!

His tests are nothing like the homework, statistics is hard. He explains well, is very nice, and homework is not bad. But his tests are so hard...most people fail because you can't figure out what the heck is going on, you feel like the tests are from another class, no idea!!! Not recommended. Sorry Littig, change the tests and you will be liked!

Prof Littig explains things very clearly. The tests are based on the homework. You cannot walk out of a lecture without having gained some knowledge as he gives daily quizes, that he will help you with. Too bad he isn't teaching math 112 for the winter. Just follow his advise "study math 1 per day every day" and you will get an A.

Classes aren't boring however he moves quick. HW is optional but group HW of 4-5 problems is due every week, along with a quiz every week. Quiz's are really important and for his midterm he let us bring one sheet of paper(one sided)of anything we needed. I did good on the midterm but after I was lost,so I dropped. Math isn't my thing but I tried.

There's two types of HWs: Individual & Group. Individual is optional as you are doing it for your own enrichment. Each Group HW is worth 10 points and you may choose to work with a group or by yourself. 10 Quizzes, 3 Midterms (Ch. 1-3, 4-6, & 7-9) and a Cumulative Final (Ch. 1-11). I got an A, but I had to work a lot for the Cumulative Final.

Professor Littig is extremely helpful. I see him working with students after class all the time. When one person does not understand something he goes over things until the person is comfortable with the subject. Tests are hard but if you are following along with the class and doing the TON of homework he assigns you'l do well.

Professor Littig is absolutely the best math teacher you could hope to have. His style is very warm and encouraging, while at the same time methodical and practical.

He doesn't just teach you how to do procedures; he explains why they're done. He's very laid-back, but is fairly serious and "by the book." There's plenty of homework, but he didn't expect you to do all of it. Tests were 20 questions each. If our grade prior to the final was a B (for example) but you got an A on the final, he'd give you an A.

Not an impossible class, but not the most enjoyable. He makes a lot of comments that are sarcastic- sometimes in a good way but a lot of times in ways that make you feel belittled. Doesn't teach that much, just reads the power point and leaves you to try out the problem for 5 or so minutes before putting up the answers. Least favorite class so far.

I had to take him for MATH227 at Los Angeles Valley College. He does not review material before exams. Makes student's questions seem useless. You have to work hard and dedicate a lot of time in this class in order to pass. Pay attention to the due dates on the syllabus and canvas. He knows his stuff and is helpful during tutoring hours.

Professor Littig is by no means a bad professor, but this class material was VERY hard to understand. His teaching style is to read off slides, and allocate time for students to do work. If you understand the coursework, then I would recommend. But if you are a student looking to take a Stats class for a requirement, stay away from this class.
