Do not take this professor's class. My class was the 2nd class he's ever taught, and his English is a bit off, so you may have trouble understanding him. He makes many errors during lessons, which confused us even more. He made a scheduling error which forced us to teach ourselves a lot of the material in a few days and take two tests in one week.

He has a really bad accent (which isn't usually a bad thing) but because he speaks broken English, he'll say things like "... now you add to both sides" when you're actually SUBTRACTING from both sides & for people like me who suck at math, he's just made this problems so much more confusing.

Do not take this professor! He does not explain the material well at all. He constantly made mistake when explaining how to solve problems and does not take any suggestions from the class when we tried to tell him we weren't understanding something. He gave us our module 7,8,AND 9 TEST and CUMULATIVE FINAL on the same day.

If your not good in math, not the professor for you. Lots of self teaching . Shows you only his way or no way problems. Even if you tell him your not understanding. Can be a great friend but not teacher. Will not recommend on the sake of your GPA. Grades on test and homework, scrap paper was an extra credit which he told us on last day of class.

This class was the hardest class I have taken throughout my college career. He was also the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. He is very difficult to understand through a thick accent, and he is all over the place with his lectures. Tread lightly when asking questions because more than likely you will not get the answer to your question.

Grades online work only, extra credit was your homework scrap paper so save those. Prepare to see the tutors at the lad on a regular if your not good at math. I'm ok with it but still found it to be hard to retain with him. Good Luck

Do NOT take this professor! There are four tests all weighted at 60%, with no chance of makeups even with a serious excuse. It is very hard to understand him in his lectures, and there are about 70 pages of notes due every week. The homework is VERY heavy. If you miss anything and try to email him don't expect him to answer for at least 5 days.

Very hard to understand in videos while given notes and the problems given in homework assignments are 10x harder than what is given in the notes, or not given in the notes at all. Gives no corrections on work for tests. The only comment I received was "If you don't show the work you get graded like you guessed the answer.

This professor's lectures are obnoxiously long-winded. He continuously harps on simple concepts for minutes on end. The guided notes paired with his awful lectures are the worst things about this class. Throughout this semester, I have had to rely on teachers in his department for quizzes because the notes are not helpful at all.

This man has a very thick accent which makes the two and a half hour lecture we had to take twice a week very unbearable. We also probably lost 4+ hours because he did not know how to do SIMPLE math, and he completely mistaught integrals to us, having to backtrack severely. If you are dual enrollment, do NOT take this class. Save yourself and swap.

This course is very demanding, and his grading is very rigorous. In addition to the heavy homework assignments given; he grades your NOTES, test REVIEW and test work. To make matters worse, he only allots 1 hr to take your test. In my experience, that wasn't nearly enough time for how extensive the work is, which essentially led to poor results.

DONT TAKE HIM. Makes us do difficult work by ourselves since he spends most of class overexplaining simple problems, no extensions despite the recent hurricane, slow at responding to emails, and many mistakes in the lectures he makes us watch at home and in the answer keys for his test review. Makes me wonder if his test answer keys are accurate!!

I would not recommend his class because of my personal experience. I have a background in mechanical engineering, and while college algebra is easy for me. He ruined math for me. Everything went well until the first test, where I had technical issues, and he didn't help. He takes forever to email back and sometimes never emails back.

You can just run away if you are thinking about taking this class. There are way better professors. He is very slow at graded tests and doesn't email back. I'm still waiting to see if I should drop out because I do not know my true grade. So i don't know if I'm going to pass and were no student should feel

Great teacher to somebody but not me, I could get over the language barrier no problem. But he dwells on the small things to much. Doesn't help either when emailing him he doesn't respond. So I basically learned myself do take his online class. Homework is fine if you stay on top of it, but an hour for a math test was crazy to me.

Jean-Baptiste is rigid and unapproachable, making it hard to learn. He rarely replies to emails, is inflexible with deadlines, and shows little empathy for students' challenges outside class. Grades often lack feedback, leaving us guessing about what went wrong. Overall, it feels like there's minimal support or investment in student success.

He knows the material but doesn't provide feedback on assignments, making it hard to improve. His grading is harsh, and he doesn't seem to care about how students feel. Not a good choice if you want support or clear guidance.

You'd better hope there are other professors available. Don't wait until the last second to register for classes, because he'll be the only one left for a reason. 🤣🤣🤣 I won't get into all the stressful details—just don't choose him.

This professor's teaching style is disorganized and hard to follow. When my mom recently passed away from cancer, he showed no empathy, making an already difficult time even worse. He also accused me of cheating when I did well on an assignment and took an unreasonably long time to grade my work. I wouldn't recommend his class.

His module is poorly structured and hard to follow. The YouTube videos don't match the questions, and even if you follow the steps, he gives no points. He loves to accuse you of cheating and doesn't care about personal challenges. Avoid his class

Let me guess, this is the last class available, and you're trying to see if this professor is any good? Don't even think about choosing this class.

Never again….

Thanks to him, I won't be receiving financial aid next semester :)

I assume IRSC gives jobs to anyone. How are you a math professor and struggle to teach? His lectures are long, and his accent makes him hard to understand. If you struggle with math, avoid him. Even with some algebra knowledge, you're on your own—I had to use YouTube to solve problems. He also doesn't care about your feeling or personal problems.

Math is my strong suit and he officially broke my lifelong A streak. He takes forever to grade, and when he does, it is SO harsh. Even after completing the assignments with good scores, I couldn't get past a C. He's the last option for a reason. BEWARE!

I'm never registering for classes at the last minute again.

You need to be very good at math to do well in this class. If you're not, don't choose this professor !!!!

It's hard to understand him; have YouTube videos handy, or you're going to fail this class.

This is my first time getting a D on a student introduction. I have no idea how or why I received that grade on a PERSONAL RESPONSE. I'm sorry that I'm not perfect??? That just sums up his class

My grandmother passed away, and I was willing to provide proof to my professor. However, he dismissed my situation, accused me of lying, and ignored me even after I sent the proof. This behavior was unprofessional and made the class unnecessarily stressful. I strongly recommend not choosing this class.

I don't understand why this professor is so stubborn; it must be due to personal issues outside of class. It feels like he takes out his frustrations on his students, making the learning environment unnecessarily difficult

Drop out or swap your class.

He always thinks he's correct and takes no accountability when he's in the wrong.

I struggled a lot in this class, and instead of offering any support, the professor was dismissive of my concerns. When I asked for clarification, he made me feel stupid. If you need help or have any personal issues, forget about getting any empathy. Just take the class with someone else

Life happens, and sometimes emergencies come up. Unfortunately, this professor doesn't care. I lost a family member and was met with indifference and accusations when I asked for an extension. His lack of compassion is shocking.

The worst part of this class was the complete lack of structure. Instructions were unclear, grading felt random, and the professor was quick to make assumptions about students. I can't recommend this course to anyone

My experience with this professor was nothing but disappointment. The lectures made no sense, assignments were graded inconsistently, and when I reached out for help, I was treated like a burden. Avoid at all costs.

Be smart and register early so you don't get stuck with this professor. There's a reason this class doesn't fill up until the last minute. Trust me, you don't want the stress

The course material is all over the place, and nothing lines up properly. Even when I follow the steps exactly, I lose points with no explanation. He's quick to accuse students of cheating but can't explain his grading process

If you're considering this professor because it's the only option left, just drop the course. Seriously, it's not worth the frustration.

I don't understand how this professor was hired to teach. The lectures are boring, hard to follow, and seem more confusing than helpful. If you're struggling with the subject, don't expect any support—YouTube will be your real teacher

When I reached out about a family emergency, I was dismissed outright. Even after providing proof, the professor accused me of lying and completely ignored my emails. The lack of empathy and professionalism made this class unbearable.

This professor has a way of making you feel like you're the problem, even when the material and instructions are unclear. No matter how much effort you put in, it's never enough.

I genuinely regret taking this class. It's like the professor goes out of his way to make things confusing. The syllabus doesn't match the assignments, and any attempt to ask for help is met with sarcasm or dismissal.

If you enjoy feeling like you're teaching yourself, this is the class for you. He barely explains anything during lectures, and when you ask questions, he gets annoyed. Save yourself the headache and take someone else.

This class was a complete waste of time and money. The professor is disorganized, unapproachable, and refuses to clarify anything. It's like he expects you to already know everything before you even start the course.

thought college was supposed to be about learning, not surviving. Between the unreasonably harsh grading, zero empathy for students, and lack of clear instructions, this class was a nightmare.

You'll spend more time figuring out what the professor meant rather than learning anything. The lectures are vague, the assignments don't make sense, and the feedback is nonexistent.

The professor has no patience for students who don't immediately understand the material. Instead of helping, he just assumes you didn't try hard enough. This class made me question why I even enrolled in college.

The grading criteria in this class are secret codes. Nothing is ever explained clearly, and when you ask for clarification, he acts like you're wasting his time.

This was one of the most stressful classes I've ever taken. The professor's attitude toward students is dismissive, and he clearly doesn't care about anyone's success. I don't think I learned anything useful.

If you like playing a guessing game with your grades and dealing with someone who has zero people skills, then this is the class for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and find another professor.

This class felt like a punishment. The professor had no interest in actually teaching and seemed to take pride in making everything harder than it needed to be. Between the unclear instructions, lack of support, and dismissive attitude, I left this class feeling more frustrated than educated.

Taking this class was like walking into a maze with no exit. The professor's instructions were confusing, his feedback was unhelpful, and he seemed more interested in proving students wrong than actually teaching. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

Just talk to your advisor....

I got a f on my student intro.......

I dropped out of college because of this professor I was right there but I just couldn't handle the stress in his class

It might be better to consider finding a different professor. 😐

3 weeks in the class and I couldn't handle the stress.

If you're weak at mathematics don't select this professor, simple.

Limited time on tests and strict standards :)

Tough class.

Accused me of cheating with no proof :)

Gave me Fs on all test work despite having all work shown and explained and then when questioned he copy and pasted the instructions for submitting test work. Would not recommend at all.

If I could give a zero I would, his test system is awful. Never seen anything like it before, wish I checked this page before taking the class.

Professor has a strong accent which makes it hard sometimes but overall he is really not a good professor, hands out a lot of homework and when you ask him for help he just rereads the question like I already didn't try to read and understand, overall don't take this class with this professor if you want to pass and not have your GPA affected.

he was just a bad professor in general

Not recommended!

Do NOT take his class. I tried to be respectful when emailing him about certain assignments and I was treated with nothing but disrespect. I have always struggled in math but this made it worse.

He was a terrible Professor. I took him during the summer, so I understood it was going to be a 6wk course. He never showed up on time. tests 60%, homework/quizzes10% of course. extra credit never credited for. Said he will grade it if he feels like doing it (tests). Never graded tests right nor could he explain why questions were wrong.

Ever offers to be helpful towards the female classmates...

Find a new professor…

Does not answer emails. Slow grader. Would not recommend.
