This class is not hard as long as you pay attention and ask questions. If you don't ask questions he will assume everyone understands. Before taking this class I would make sure you are familiar with the basics (fractions, ability to understand word pro

Lenard is a teacher who makes things easy for his students and always request feedbacks from them. He might not be the most interesting math teacher but this guy really go all the way to help his students (ie xtra credit + staying up late after class).

Very nice guy. Extremely helpful. He is always willing to stop and answer a question no matter how basic. he wants you to understand. although his class moves a little fast but then again so do all math classes. I WOULD take his class again.

he is a very good teacher if you like to learn mathematics

Disregard all the whiney comments about this teacher. Do the homework and understand it and you'll do fine in the class. One thing i dont like about him is he is very picky when grading quiz/tests. Overall hes helpful, and gives EC at the end.

This guy gives you very easy exams, but he's a little dissappointing with the grading. If you do the Homework, care about the subject, you'll get an A definitely.He drops one of his 5 exams(each100), has 3 projects(20 each), and 5 quizzes, drops the lowest quiz(20 each),final 120.TOTAL 560. If you just wanna pass do very good for the first 8 weeks

Very helpful, takes the time to answer any questions you may have. He offered extra credit on every test and quiz. Bottom line for the class: pay attention, showup, you will cover a different section everyday, you must do the homework, seek help if needed. If you fail it's not the instructors fault.

Well, I dont really know what to say about this professor. I am not sure whose fault was it? his or mine? I failed this class because i missed exams and he never gave me make up exams and didnt even let me drop the class..not even incomplete grade...so was kind of little stubbornness..Really hard teacher for stat.. Exams were extremely hard.have fu

He is very well organized in his notes. Straight out of the book. Always on task. He does all the talking but really encourages asking questions if you are lost. He's extremely dry and boring and doesn't tolerate any goofing off or talking at all. He drops your lowest test and quiz score which is nice but he has a no-make up policy.

Test/quiz questions are straight from the homework. BUT he sometimes takes half an hour to explain one problem - no breaks in a 2hr class and we still get out at least 3 min late. He gives A's for results, not for effort. Show lots of work, be logical.

He is/was an excellent teacher

I got an A in this class, but I had to work for it. Mr. Lenard knows his stuff very well. He can break down any question down to the nitty gritty if you need him to. Don't be scared to ask question, he will go over it until you get it, even if it takes an hour of class time. His quizzes are stright for the homework questions in the book.

Lenard is an excellent professor. Solutions manual is "HIGHLY" Recommended, it has every single problem in there. You'll def need it for things like G.Jordan, Pascals and other hard****. Class is 660 points, 43 total extra credit on quizes, no hw,drops 30 points at end of sem-final is cumil. He covers EVERYTHING in class, straight from book. Me=D+

Lenard is a very fair prof. He was so accommodating with his office hours and generous with his time. Statistics requires a lot of homework/study time. I have already found its applications very useful. I worked hard for my A, but Lenard helped me as often as I needed (phone, office, and emails). Very professional prof.

He teaches entirely through examples. If you understand how to do all the types of homework problems you'll do good. I didn't even attend class often but I made sure to understand the homework and I did just fine.

For just one hour he gave 15 question test wow. Hard as hell tests. old school man. Just read the book thats all he teaches. Thumbs down for him.

This man has the patience of a saint. He will sit with you for as long as it takes until you understand the concepts. If you are in his class, do yourself a favor and take advantage of his office hours. My only gripe with him is that he grades hard. Rest assured, if you want to learn math he will teach you well. He understands it beyond the text.

ha, strange guy but he's okay. It's not the easiest class but it's not impossible either. If you want a slow pace, this is your teacher.

Professor Lenard was a great teacher. His tests are very hard. If you're looking for an easy class, stay away. he will challenge you. He grades hard. but he offers a lot of office time and is good at explaining one on one. If you like a challenge/are good at math this is your guy.

hes a great teacher I think. I took him for calc 2231 and 2232 and hes just seems like a great guy. Always prepared and helpful in any ways. I would really recommend him for anyone. Grades are based off of points but he does offer a little buffer zone. Its a hard class because it is math but if you do the homework and study, you should be fine.

Things moved pretty quickly (what do expect for an 8-week class)? He was very available for office-hours help and responds to email very quickly. A GOOD teacher!

Solid professor - you will know calc after this class, but do the work. Tests and quizzes were almost verbatim from homework - (I repeat - don't slack off) not a class you can just cram at the last minute for. Old-school - no Blackboard or Powerpoints. Very helpful during office hours. Straight-forward lectures and grading.

If u take his class u have to work very hard..4 tests and one comprehensive final. he doesn't give much extra credits though if u work hard u will get good grade..

go to class. go to class. go to class! i missed so many times and honestly believe that if i wouldve been there for his lectures i wouldve done better. boring but good examples and walks you through everything. gives 30pts buffer and grade is based off of points. read the sections prior to class!!! itll do you a world of good :)

Very good teacher. Requires a lot of work, but you will know exactly what to expect from the class. Quiz problems are from the homework and the test questions are very similar to homework problems, you won't see problems as difficult as the hardest homework problems on tests. Gives a decent amount of extra credit opportunities on quizzes/tests.

Seriously, If you want A - he's the one who is going to give you this at this high Math level. All you have to do is do whatever homework he ask you to do. You do not have do each and every but after 3-4 weeks you'll know what to o and not to do - Anyways you do the homework and you know the test & quizes. Because test & quiz are from Homework only

Math is hard, no doubt. Prf. Lenard really is a good choice. He is really nice and will answer your questions without making you feel stupid. He also gave us extra credit at the start of the course (about as much as another letter grade) as opposed to dropping a grade or two at the end. He knows what he's talking about. Overall, a solid teacher.

Come to class, do the assigned homework and you will do great in the class. The quizes are based on the homework, and the tests are a culmination of homework and in class discussion. Overall great teacher and is there to help, but be warned, you get what you put in. Be prepared to do the work if you want an A, he will make you earn it.

Prof. Lenard explains the material clearly in class, and he won't mind explaining again if asked, or if one goes to his office hours. Quizzes are exactly homework problems, and tests problems are of the same caliber as the quiz. He gives plenty of extra credit, which can make a letter grade difference. I certainly recommend this teacher.

He is a really good teacher and cares about the subject. Offers extra credit on his quizzes and tests. If you get your answers wrong he will at least show you what you did wrong on the test and quizzes. Also I suggest getting his textbook because the quizzes and tests are based on it. He is always willing to answer your questions. He helped alot!

Always willing to help, seems to care a lot about is students and the subject. Do the homework and you will do fine.

Go to class and do some homework and you'll get a B. Put in extra effort and I can't see why you can't get an A. 30 points extra credit at the beginning of the class which helps a class and more added on later. Quizzes are straight from hw and tests are a little tricky. Very helpful but boring lectures but bare with him.

The teacher is nice but his lectures were boring. I thought i wont do good but 30 points extra credit at the beginning of the semester and extra credit on every test and quiz was a blessing. Wont blame the teacher if i got bad on the test; he was a nice teacher i would say. You wont like him at first but bare with him, u wont regret!!

Very clear on what he teaches and is willing to answer any of questions in greater detail. However, he is very strict on his grading to an extent where he will deduct 4 points on a test or quiz if you forgot a positive or negative sign.

Working hard and going to his office hours will get you through this class with an A or B. He is very helpful and makes sure you understand the concept. His tests are challenging but do-able. Don't slack. You will need to be a self directed learner

Best teacher for Calculus and the entire college. He knows his mathematics really well, definitely intelligent, and truly motivational. Of course, to get an A you have to work your butt off, just like any class, especially Calculus. Overall, impressive, clear, and again, motivational and inspiring. Take him.

I took his class over the summer and I thought he was a great teacher. Well-prepared, intelligent, and very knowledgeable.

I ended up getting a B in this class because I did none of the homework assigned. With that said, I think Mr. Lenard is an acquired taste. For me, I think he's awesome. But there were those in the class who criticized him for being too "tough". Dude, it's calc, what do you expect? He gave a ton of extra credit on both tests and quizzes. Smart guy!

Lenard is a good math teacher. I took pre-calc first semester with a different teacher but had to drop out because I was going to get a low grade. He is a lot better than the other teacher I had before, and he gives partial credit on many of the answers on tests. Overall, I would recommend him for 1431.

He's a tough grader, so you definitely need to show up to learn the material. However, he's a very good teacher, very clear. If you ask him to go over something, he'll do it until you understand. 1431 had a guided study group that was fairly helpful as well. He wants to help you succeed. I hate math, but I enjoyed the challenge of this class.

I took Calc 3 over the summer, so it definitely wasn't supposed to be an easy ordeal. Mr. Lenard was there if you needed help. I didn't do the homework and crammed for all tests and quizzes. I got a C overall. So, if you need an A, do all the homework, and DONT CRAM! Ask him anything Math related right on the spot and he'll answer it! Amazing.

He was super nice and had tons of office hours. If you do all the homework and pay attention during lectures, you will do well :)

Do the homework!! Lenard is a nice guy and a solid math teacher. He encouraged questions before and at the beginning of class and maintained many office hours. The quiz problems came straight from the homework, and while not easy, the tests were reasonable. He offered a good amount of extra credit but you will still need to work hard to pass!

I signed up for calc 2 but actually didn't need it so I dropped the first week. But what Lenard wrote me as soon as I withdrew to see if it had anything to do with the syllabus structure or some other problem I had with the class. I thought that was very thoughtful and a sign of a great teacher. If I needed to take calc 2 I take him!

I have heard that most math profs at COD are bad, but Lenard wasn't that bad. A lot of material is covered, so you have to pay attention. He provides and slowly works through many examples of every topic, which was very helpful Dont be afraid to ask questions He is available to offer help after class as well He really wants everyone to understa

Here's the deal. He sets his guidelines and standards pretty early on and makes it clear what he will be looking for and DOES NOT WAVER AT ALL. I had friends that missed passing his class by .1% and he did not allow it, but it sticks by what he says, give you what you earn and no more no less. Very helpful one on one, but lectures not so much.

Taking Prof. Lenard for Calc 1 & 2 was the most humbling experience of my educational career! Anybody who complains about his grading being tough is certainly not ready for a career in the real world. He is very realistic and fair when it comes to his grading, If you are an Engineering major then take his class, because you will be inspired!!

Lenard's like an amazing grandpa. Talks to himself during lectures. SUPER good at explaining concepts. Gives a good bit of extra credit. Fair grader. Loves helping you outside of class. If I took Calc 2 with any other teacher, I probably wouldn't have gotten an A. DEFINITELY would take again. (don't skip steps in your work)

If your goal in Math/Engineering is to learn, esp courses like calulus, I highly recommend taking him. Very helpful during office hours. Tests are honestly based off the "concepts" of HW problems (not exactly the HW problems). If you know the HW problems well, you will do well. I thought I knew math walking into his class, but he amazed me.

His tests are similar to the HW problems, if your HW concepts are solid, and very precise in notations, and I mean VERY PRECISE on your notations, You will do extremly well. Tough grader. His way of teaching math one-on-one is by far better than any tutor or PROF I have come across. You will learn the difficult concepts well, but be willing to try!

All the people who say DONT take him, please dont take their advice. He is a copacetic math instructor, I have seen other tutors and math instructors getting advice on math from him. There is no other teacher besides my algebra 2 teacher who have actually taught me math, he's definitely on that list for me. This prof has offciailly taught me math!!
