Hmm, very strong accent. Never collects homework. Will have 4 tests and 4 quizzes. Drops lowest test and quiz grade.. His tests get harder and harder as class progresses. If you?re not GREAT in math, do not take him.

His accent's not that bad. His tests can be difficult if you don't study, but he is flexible and allows make-ups for quizzes. He makes lots of use of the SmartBoard and saves all his notes. True, he likes to joke around and mess with people's minds, but for someone like me (who always thought they sucked at math), he made class pretty decent.

The class is hard, and will get harder throughout the term. But he makes it to where the class can be easy. If you study and pay attention you'll do fine on his tests especially since he gives you problems almost exactly the same about a week before. Walks around during test, a little annoying, but he gives hints.

I never did the homework so I got like 10 points off every test and only came to class once a week or so, and still got an A, my roommate who took the class with me and isn't as good as math got an A as well, if you aren't great at math just go to class and do the homework, and you should come out with a good grade.

His french accent makes his class hilarious. Take good notes, ask questions, do the 80% of the homework [sometimes they count as 10-20 points on the actual test]. Work out some problems before you take the test to get into that "math-mode." GO TO THE REVIEW SECTIONS! He'll tell you what's on the test. Don't skip class!

He is a difficult teacher in general. Attended every class and still had trouble understanding the material. He talks fast and assumes the students know statistics beforehand. Tests are weighted heavy, lots of homework, and struggled to maintain passing grades.

Dr. Bobga was a fantastic teacher, but don't take his class unless you're willing to work hard. The grade was based on four tests and a final exam. On the first test, I misunderstood the requirements for the homework, and he still trusted me to turn it in the next class and gave me the extra points anyway. But you have to work hard!

TERRIBLE at explaining basic concepts or answering straightforward questions. There is a test he's given for years and he told us was hard (understatement). We went over questions we did horribly on and he would say "yeah that's a bad question", but he had still decided to leave them on the test so it felt more like he was screwing us over.

He criticizes students who get answers wrong and will call you out for the right answer. His tests are very difficult (most of the questions are multiple choice) but, if you do your homework, he drops your lowest grade and gives bonus points on each test. He tends to focus on easy concepts, leaving the hard concepts for self-study.

Professor Bobga is a great and thorough lecturer. If you are willing to really listen to him and take good notes, you will do just fine in the class. But it is still helpful to go over the textbook. Your grades consist of 4 tests and the final exam and on top of that, extra credit points on tests for completing the non-mandatory homework.

No need to buy the textbook even though it says it's required and he says the homework is from it. He accepts and prefers practicing ppt notes instead.

In professor Bobga's class your grade is determined by your test grades and final. No homework, no quizzes, only tests and final exams. He has an attitude when you ask a question, always believing that the student lacks the skills needed to solve the question. "Oh that's an easy one" "Why do you ask that question you should know it!"

Took his class online so he didn't lecture. His written notes were like a 130 pages long. I just focused on the slides he provided. The hw/study guides for the tests were like 100 questions except for one test. The hw/study guide is due the day of the exam which gives you plenty of time to study or to procrastinate. It's VERY similar to the exam.

Homeworks are called Test 1,Test 2, Test 3 & Test 4 MATERIAL, each about 100 questions then the actual Tests come from that homework - about 25 questions per test.
