WORST TEACHER EVER, RUN FOR YOU LIFE PEOPLE-
Great teacher notes are very well organized and great tests overall a great teacher highly recommended
He's a great teacher. Always willing to help. Gives lots of examples. Sometimes his thought process is hard to follow, but if you ask him to clarify he will.
Great proffessor well organized. very help fuland help you to understand the material .
Do yourself a favor and rum like HELL.
I got into this class not wanting to take it, it was really bad....but then after the 2nd week of class, he helped me understand things I've already been taught but didn't really grasp it. He is a great teacher, if you are stuck on something, he will clarify it for you, no problem. I'm taking him again
great teacher very understanding and helpful i would take him again
If you are taking Calculus DO NOT go to his class. He deducts points like crazy on his test. 39 students 3A 7B 10C 19F. Those passing was their 2nd or 3rd time taking the class. Save your money and time, take it the next semester with another professor.
Stats is a hard class,which is why I gave him a "hard" rating. But he really takes his time teaching and tries to make sure everyone understands. Take him during the summer.
Very helpful, always takes time to thoroughly explain things (even to students who are somewhat "slow" in understanding the material.) If you come to class and pay attention, you will do well in the class.
Excellent instructor. Tests are well written and not too tough. He doesn't dwell too heavily on the theory, instead he focusses on the most critical material. Always willing to spend extra time to go back to ensure any student who doesn't get it, get's it. Some feel his grading is tough, but I think he's more fair than most MAC2311 teachers.
this is the worst teacher i ever had he is so fast in teaching although i passed in his class but i don't know how,i don't recomend this class for anyone
goes too fast for an intermediate class. gives hard test problems and takes off way too many points for tests. i would not recommend him for i never missed a class did all my work and studied and received a D.
HE SUCKSSSS!!!!!!!!!
i'm going to warn you, very hard class. great teacher. spent HOURS reviewing in math lab. tests are not tricky. study and know your material and you'll be fine, he is a good instructor. very fair, always there to help during office hours. USE THE MATHLAB! good teacher, hard subject
super hard teacher, i did well in algebra in high school but this man wants to watch you fail!!! he feeds off of it, at the beginning we had a full clas, too many if you ask me, by the time i dropped it in march after helplessness and misguidance from alan, there were about 12, i hear now, there are 6. he is a very rude and holds grudegs, grow up!
this man is terrible! i stayed in his clas and showed all the effort i could until the end and he still failed me! he deserves to be thrown off a cliff! he was so rude this entire semester! take him if you want to fail.
This professor is average. He does explain the work well but you have to pay close attention to what he is doing. Make sure you do your h/w because hes quizes and test are derived from that. I studied and did the homework but still got a D. You either know the material or you don't, there's no in between w/him.
Horrible teacher! horrible horrible if you want to lose money and time then take this man if not don't waste your time.
WELL DISPITE WHAT EVERYONE HAS SAID ABOUT LEVOBITZ, I ACTUALLY DIDN'T THINK HE WAS THAT TERRIBLE. HE GIVES QUIZES THAT AT THE END ADDS UP TO A WHOLE GRADE EXAM. JUST DO YOUR HW. YOU EITHER GET IT OR YOU DONT. I DIDNT GET AND "A" I GOT A "C" BUT ITS NOT HIS FAULT.
If you like math and you are good on math you can take it. I'm a A student and it was hard for me. I still got an A on his class but dont take it if you are not good at math.
This class & teacher can be very easy. He gives 14 Q's, the 4 lowest of which get dropped, 4 T's, and one final that can replace any one of your lowest grades whether it be a T or your overall Q grade. Although he doesn't check your H.W., it is what a super-majority of the Q's and T's are based upon. P.S. It kind of helps to bleed orange & blue!!!
he needs to be fired. desperately
i had to drop the class last week. horrible horrible man
whoa! i just read all the ratings some are fair some are not! well calc 1 IS a very hard time consuming class, you NEED to do your hw in this class, if you don't you will not get a nice grade. All his tests are based from the hw and some from lecture. Tell you the truth I like him, i like they way he teaches bc he is a nice guy and always available
i took alan for all most of my math classes. he is the only professor that when he teaches, he makes you understand what he is teaching and if you don't, you can always ask him. i agree he is a little tought, but he will not pass you if you don'tknow the material.if you did nt like his class, you were too lazy to ask for help!!!
*oh my gosh, do NOT take his monday monring classez at 8am, you WILL fail. he is so mean!1!
He's one of the best professors at BCC. He's fair, knows his stuff and explains it really well. He's tests are not that hard and he only tests on material covered in class (unlike some other teachers). I had him for two courses and strongly recommend.
I took him for elementary algebra. He was very helpful and he may explain things like he is talking to a 10yr old but you learn quick and easy. His tests were fairly easy and he is very nice. If you want to pass this course take him.
grt and easy professor..
he is great i had him this past semester for calc, well by now i dont know my grade but is likely to be a B! it could've been an A but i never did my hw til it was too late! believe meee do ur hw if not u wont do good in calc! so DO IT and don't be a smartass like i tried to be! CALC 2 i'm getting an A definitely!
He is very mean!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! HE IS FULL OF IRONY!!!
He is the worst professor i hava had!! He feels happy when everybody gets bad grades... You can see it on his face. my class is around 3 students and just 4 people is passinf de class (1A, 1B, 2C) DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR THIS CLASS!!
HE GAVE A LOT OF TESTS AND QUIZES, HE GRADES VERY HARD AND IF YOU DO NOT GET GOOD GRADES ON TESTS AND QUIZES I WOULD NOT ADVISE YOU TO TAKE THIS CLASS BECAUSE YOU WILL FAIL LIKE I DID! YOU MUST ALSO GO TO SOME LAB FOR HOURS FOR LIKE 10 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT AND TO DO A WEEKLY QUIZ WHICH WAS ALSO DIFFICULT.
not bad, kinda rude and goes very fast, just stick to the lab.
Pof. Lebovitz is a great math teacher. I only got a D because I the last two tests were pretty hard. The class moves kind of fast, but I would reccomend Lebovitz. I'll most likely be taking MAT 0024 with him again next semester!
he was a veryy good helpful teacher..his tests were easy but one test which was the 4th one but i got a B becuz hes that good =)
Really good teacher. I hate math but this guy makes it okay. I definitely recommend him is you plan on advancing to more difficult classes (which he teaches by the way).
I took Lebovitz for trigonometry in a condensed summer course. The course was prettty tough. If you struggle in math dont take the condensed course unless you take it by itself, but he's a great teacher. His tests are fair, he drops the 3 lowest quiz scores out of 13 and he does want his students to do well just communicate!
Took MAC1147. Very tough class you must do all your homework. Mr Lebowitz is a good guy, very fair teacher and will give extra credit, work, or fix the test.
He's tough but if you ask him for help, he'll help you, I sweat to get a B but I really enjoyed his class. Now, I'm looking for him b/c I want to take Statistics with him. So if you know his schedule, plz let me know!!!!
great teacher knw his material cares abt his student make sure everyone do good he make it easy for u to get good grades u have to be dum to fail his class.
an amazing teacher i wish he taught more math classes. he really cares if his students are grasping the concept and shows genuine pride when his students do well. defenetly take him he really does try to relate math to the real world.
Great Teacher! Ask for help if you need it! He even took time to help me out in my future Math studies! Not many other instructors would take that kind of time! I am taking him again next semester! Very honest and delivers multiple methods on solving problems! Plus he has a sense of humor! Only flaw is that he is a monster Gator fan!
Didn't like him. Made me feel like a fool when I asked questions. Apparently he is good in advanced classes.
Very smart guy, good sense of humor.
He is very fast and explains unclearly. He may be a good math professor but DO Not take his 8a.m. statistic class. His class is hard and he gives a lot of quizzes. If you don't want to fail, don't take him.
Very challenging class but he is more than fair. Quizzes everyday with 4 dropped. Tests are hard but they go along with the notes. Attendance is mandatory or you will definitely fail. Likes to make people feel stupid tho when asking questions in class so ask questions in private or thru email. Very good teacher if you understand math.
Expect dry comedy and some (small)info on football and family. He is fair and gives good lectures. You really dont even need the book in class. Just copy his notes and do some hmewrk for repetition sake..and you will pass the class with a decent grade. Attendence is also important and he gives a quiz everyother class or so. Its not a bad class!
best teacher i have ever taken... i have taken him for all math courses at Broward College and would recommend him to anyone.. funny good personality... gives you all the notes and everything you need to be successful and get a good grade..-TD
he makes you feel stupid when you ask questions. also he likes to show off when how fast HE can do math... then expects you to be able to do it too. assumes too much. thinks too highly of himself. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS.
Excellent teaching skills.He will not move on until all questions are answered.Good sense of humor.Homework not mandatory but will help you clear up any problems you have.Gives quizes constantly and it can either make or break your grade, so be sure to make it to class on quiz day, they are about 2-4 problems only.
I am taking porfessor L now and I honestly am loving him! Challenging class but well worth it, very clear about what to know and great teaching skills. Almost daily quiz, good way to keep grade up. good humor and approchable! If your willing to work for ur grade then take him. PS- HUGE gator fan :D -KO
I was a three time failure in Algebra. This teacher explains it so I could understand, even adding visual techniques. If you listen and do the homework you will pass. I was very impressed and it shows that he really loves what he does
Taken him for two semesters in a row now and loved him then and now! He is a great teacher! explains anything you need helpful and a nice guy! hoping he teaches college algebra if not will see him again in statistics! would recommend him to anyone and everyone! really makes a subject i dread comfortable! take him but be prepared to do the work! :)
Take him for all the math you can. I just graduated and wish I found him earlier in my math courses. He is honestly THE BEST and Ive had them all. Next to him Grody should be your alternative. STUDY and get out WHAT YOU PUT IN and GOOD LUCK!
Test are VERY difficult. If you want an easy "a" NOT the course/professor4u.Show up or you will fail!(daily quizes/mandatory attendance).study on your own or you will fail!I got a "b". I put in hours on end in the math lab.test are limited time as are quizzes.reviews are useless.If you are lazy find another professor or...you WILL fail.good luck
He taught me more than any math professor that I have ever had. He clarified everything. He drops your for lowest quiz grades, so you can afford to make a few mistakes. His tests aren't that hard if you study and do the review. Go to class and do most of the homework, and you will get alot out of the class.
Statistics is a hard subject, but if you work hard, this professor will help you reach an A. If you don't- never. He teaches very fast and precise, so you have to be on point and do HOMEWORK, if you miss a day of class, you are way behind.
I learned a lot from this professor. He was very easy to follow and explained things to the fullest. My favorite math teacher so far.
Tests are exactly how he teaches in class, listen to his lectures and take down all his notes, doing the homework DEFINITELY HELPS, as far as quizzes you do have to be very precise with your work gives half credit final counts double in replacing your lowest test grade.
He is a great teacher. Full of knowledge. I would say the best Ive ever had. Tests are hard, and I spent hours in the SI lab and doing homework. Needless to say by the time the final came I was burned out. But I do recommend him. Go to class every day, use the SI lab, and you will do fine. It is a hard class and you need to study to get a good grad
this professor is great! his teaching methods are the best. he will show you "how your purpose" to do the problem then how we do it on the calculator. very hard on test, you do not want to miss a class!! he is a big gator fan!
If you want an easy A, DO NOT take him. quizes are easy but tests are really hard. spend alot of time studying. he is a BIG gators fan and he thinks his son is a genious!!! :(
He was a good teacher at 1st but the last two tests were rushed. One week we took test 4 and the next week was the final. He didn't even use the department final because it was only 25?s. He made up his own final which was 47?s. Alot of people who have a border line C took the final, although it was extremely hard still ended up with a C
One of the best Math professor i've ever had! He will explain the same thing over an over again till everyone is on the same page! Has lots of knowledge and helped me clear problems that i've had since high school! LOVED HIS CLASS!
Im taking him for statistics and learning alot but if u are looking for an easy teacher dont take him but if u are looking for a teacher that will help u and take the time for you to understand hes a good teacher! Can get a bit annoying with how picky he is but I think its for the students better that he is like this.
I don't recommend taking Lebovitz unless you like dealing with an ass. Make sure you are never a minute late for class because if you are he marks you tardy and 2 tardies equal 1 absence. I think he is a decent teacher but he gets impatience sometimes and I dont care for teachers like that because there is a reason we are in this class and that is
Nice guy w/ passion for what he does, his quizes are very acceptable but his Testes are far to long for one hour and 15 min. Besides that he would of been a Great Stats Prof but should there really be a divider between nice fairness(Fallacy of Division; Advice if there's a prime alternative go for it!
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CLASS, AND I PASSED THE AP STATS TEST WITH FLYING COLORS. THINKS HE IS THE ULTIMATE COMEDIAN, BUT HIS HUMOR IS MORE LAME THAN THE "IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR RUNNING" BIT. IN ADDITION, I DESPISE TEACHERS WITH AN ATTENDANCE POLICY. I PAY AND WHETHER I ATTEND IS MY CHOICE, AND THE GRADE I RECEIVE IS MY DOING.
First this class is hard.A lot of steps to solve the problem.You must have good knowledge of Trig and Calc 1.He is teaching nice. Quizzes were okey but i believe the tests were hard. But the problem is this class was 1 hour 15 minutes class.So for that time period i believe the test questions were too hard
This is one best math teacher I ever had.I recommended him.
To everyone here! This guy is the real deal. My name is Jorge & I took this guy back in 2007 for Calc 1. Derivative is the slope of the tangent line & the antiderivative is the area under the curve. Those are things to remember. Im graduating now with a Chemical Engineering degree and Im the only one that can do calc by hand with no need of a TI89.
I would not recommend him if you know another good teacher for statistics. He's VERY picky, and if he's not a big fan of wou, he WILL find something "wrong" in your tests. His teaching is good, but his grading is way too hard.
Great at explaining stuff and making sure you understand but there is a 10 min quiz at the very beginning of every class and they are only 2 - 4 questions long. He also goes over the hour and 15 minute class time almost every class. His 4 tests and the final are entirely way too hard for that time period and most of the class didnt finish.
Lebovitz is organised and teaches a difficult subject well. There are four tests, 10min quiz every class, and a comprehensive final. There is no homework. He drops four of your lowest quiz grades. Four unattended days are allowed. He loves to answer question in class and is a bit flattered when you come to his office with questions. Approachable.
he is one of the best teacher i ever had. the guy really know his stuff!!! hes not one of those teacher that doesnt know the answer to a question. u need to work hard to receive a good grade but he help u. hes the best!! i totally recomend him to any one.. that is if u r a hard working student. if u r lazy DO NOT TAKE HIM BCUZ U WILL FAIL!!!
take him!! he is very good at teaching and he is extremely organized which i love. class is a little tough but with studying and dedicating some time it is very passable. 4 tests and a final and quizzes. easy.
Great professor! I had him fo mat0024. He basically taught me the vasics of math. I didnt know anything about math. I enjoyed his class! I love his teaching method. So easy to follow. I studied alot for the class. I had an A in the class. Take him!!! Hes picky, but he knows whats the best for u!
He is a good teacher but he is entirely in love with the gators every problem has something to do with the UF, but if you pay attention and dot the homework this class is a breeze I got a A's on my test and I honestly hate math
Math is this guy's passion. He enjoys teaching very much. His class is very straight forward. Probably the best professor I've had at BC.
I must admit this is one of the best professor ive encountered at BC so far ...hes very straight forward ,goes through the equations step by step with u ,no rush at all .Give you questions and walk around and look at them to see where u went wrong i had all As in my test.He's greatt!!!took him in fall 2010!
I WOULD RECOMEND Bharath, Deoraj WAY BETTER TEACHING SKILLS AND VERY CLEAR
SoRYY ABOUT THAT PREVIOUS COMMENT, I MEANT FOR ANOTHER TEACHER.THIS TEACHER IS AWESOME TOO =)
This Professor is one of the best I have had since attending Bc! Take him, you will not regret it!
I am one who becomes unease when I hear any word related to math, but this class was amazing! There are quizzes at the beginning of classes, four tests and final. He is very clear. He knows many are new and goes step by step with you. Helps with calculator issues if needed and any other questions. He makes the class enjoyable. One of the best!
The best professor at Broward College. This guy loves math and he knows how to teach. This is not an easy class so do not I repeat do not take him if you are a lazy student. You must sudy for this class.
Professor Lebovitz is likely the best math teacher I've ever had! I never understood anything about math until I took his class. He is organized, explains things very clearly, and makes the class interesting. You have to make sure you do the work though, and you'll be fine. I highly recommend him, he's great!! I understand math now! (Well, almost)
this teach is AMAZING I had another math teacher and Lebovitz sub for our class. half the class stayed to ask his name so we could take his class. he made everything so easy and understandable ! Great Great teacher
He is a very good professor. He definitely knows his math!! and it doesn't hurt that he is funny too. He has about a million quizzes of which he drops the lowest few grade, he grades extremely fair!! If you are prepared to study hard and do the homework assigned, then please do take his class, you will do well, you won't regret it!
Professor Lebovitz is an OUTSTANDING Professor! He is not difficult, Statistics is. Take him if you are WILLING to learn ! He is NOT an easy A so if that it what you are looking for, look elsewhere. The book is needed, you MUST study but he has a wonderful teaching method and is awesome
Professor Lebovitz is an OUTSTANDING Professor! He is not difficult, Statistics is. Take him if you are WILLING to learn ! He is NOT an easy A so if that it what you are looking for, look elsewhere. The book is needed, you MUST study but he has a wonderful teaching method and is awesome. I earned a C+ but its because I didnt take it serious @ first
He is a good teacher but he is way to sarcastic and not willing to help students one bit. He is so cut and dry and there is no in between with him. He really just was way to sarcastic all the time, to the point it was exhausting.
Don't ever take his class again as honors!!! Worst professor ever!!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! i hate math with a passion, and i struggled a little during the class but his notes are extremely clear and he will not surprise you on test/quizzes. Every single thing he covers is what he puts on the test.TAKE HIM!!
The best professor I've ever had!He's well prepared for class.Very consistent with teaching style.Passionate about his work.Drops 4 lowest quiz grades, 4 missed classes allowed, quiz every class, no graded homework, but suggest homework problems for study purposes.Comprehensive final.Difficult tests,I used the tutoring lab after class and did well.
This professor is very good at explaining the material. Definitely one of the best professors on campus. There are a lot of homework questions but it helps out for tests. There are 4 tests, mylabsplus is 100 points, and the final is cumulative. No midterm. Final replaces lowest test grade. Study study study.
Great professor explains everything easy grader no trick questions drops worst test and 4 worst quizzes
Loved this class! Show up, do the homework for better understanding, and youve got yourself an easy A. Definitely would take him again.
He grades primarily off 3 test and 1 final exam, huge part of your grade. 10 sections of Knewton work with about 4-8 sub sections. some up to 28 questions each. A lot of work. Proctortack exams with mirror scans and he needs to see your hands at all times. Suspected the class of cheating so added more measures half way through the semester. Hard.
Professor wise, great. Very nice and considerate. Always emails back on time and helps you out if you have any questions or issues. Class wise: majority of the grade from the 3 tests and final so if you dont test well, this isnt the class for you. I had an A until I took the last 2 tests, I did well throughout the class but Im a terrible tester.
Nothing against this guy, I'm sure he is great, but if you are not good at math, DO NOT take it online!!! If you think it would be easier, it's not TRUST ME it's harder. At least that's how he made it; the assignments were a mess, like I could never find out what was due each week, and the textbook he required was really confusing.
Don't take his class, go with a different professor. promise you'll find better.
Prof Lebovitz is awesome for online. He responds to emails quickly and he gives helpful advice. The class isn't easy, but it is thorough and goes through the information in depth. I loved the course program he uses "knewton" because it lets you practice questions over and over until you get a hang of the problems.
Mr. Alan was so nice. Even though I took the class online, he answered every single email. I took that class in 6 weeks and I got an A. Totally doable, just do the homework and practice.
Best math teacher I have ever had. He has a true talent to teach. As long as you are nice and respectful he is the same way. He is super funny, and does not mind reexplaining topics.
I would not recommend his class. He teaches extremely fast and he gets very angry if you do not know the answer to a question. He also has a problem with answering emails.
This class is very easy, you can have notes out for your tests, what I didn't like was the professor, he sent a few emails during the course saying work work this is due blah blah, no extra credits and not very clear where to find the assignments so I missed one, instead of adding it under assignments it was a link inside the syllabus.
I took his online statistics class, and I feel it was not too bad. Some of the content may be hard, but there is a lot of helpful youtube videos. There is a decent amount of homework assignments that help bring your grade up if you don't do great on tests, however; the homework can be quite time-consuming depending on the unit.
Do not take that man's class he literally goes back and watches everyone's test taking recording on Honor Lock the class is HARD he's literally in charge of the mathematics department at school do yourself a favor don't be like me giving him the benefit of doubt even after I read his rating on here most of the students withdrew from his class.
Professor Lebovitz is a very reasonable professor who gives his students a fair chance
Professor Lebovitz has a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, the class can be very rewarding. The lectures are helpful, and using resources like the textbook, study sessions, and tools like unstuck study can make a big difference.
Worst professor I had. His assignments and quizzes are very difficult. Wish he provided more help to his students. Do not recommend if your not good with math. He's a tough grader and does not care.
This professor has a VERY specific teaching style. I'm a dynamic learner and he mostly just uses logic to teach his classes. By the time I learned how to manipulate his teaching style to work for me, it was too late to recover my grade and I was a student who spent HOURS in the library If you're a strict and rigid learner he'll be perfect for you.
