Nice teacher, very helpful in and out of class. Very clear on how to pass and is willing to help. I hate math and I find it hard but he has made the semester bearable and can be encouraging if he sees you working hard. So many people dropped the class... how can you drop math 93? You have to start somewhere!

Very helpful. Huge homework, but if you do everything, you can pass with an "A". Quizzes every week, 4 major tests, every test contains entire material. You have to study hard and do all assigned problems. Dedicate about 5 - 8 hours each week to do homework. If you do so, you should have no problems with passing his class. At first sounds scary,

He's VERY hard and VERY useless as far as helping you. He cracks jokes and laughs when you ask for help and literally turns his back on his students. Notes aren't helpful AT ALL and you basically have to learn everything on your own. 3 of my friends and myself who have Frost average about 3 hours of homework PER DAY! Not per week, PER DAY!

My experience with Professor William Frost was quite an awesome, educacional route with mathematics. Even if I dropped his class, I hope for him to be my Math Professor next semester. God only knows why I dropped his class, but next semester I will definitely be looking forward to.

Bill Frost is amazing! I've taken him for 96 and 124 and managed to pass each time. He doesn't take attendance and if you miss class, you need to ask one of the students for the hw. He usually has quizzes every Wednesday so be prepared because they are hard. The tests are easy enough as long as you pay attention and do the hw. Always ask questions!

Professor Frost is definitely awesome, I've taken him for multiple math classes and although it may be some work to do, it is well worth it. He gives very good notes and any homework he assigns goes on the quizzes or tests. Always is open to questions and will explain it as many times as needed. Definitely recommended!

Frost encouraged us to utilize the available resources, such as the Math Resource Center and tutoring options. I visited the MRC after every class to study and ask questions, which helped immensely. His teaching style is excellent, and he consistently took time to explain to anyone needing clarification. Do the homework, then repeat if needed!

He does not complete the examples on the board. His answer to questions is "go to the math resource center" Gives way to much homework. Only shows you how to do half the problem. Stands in front of class and repeats the drop date so you can drop the class. Does not post grades on canvas and is not forth coming with feedback.

This professor is the worst professor I've ever had. He never uploads any sort of grade, so the entire semester you're left to figure it out on your own. He gives large homework assignments (50 to 150+ problems), doesn't explain well, and is condescending to students. All these negative reviews are accurate, it's very difficult to pass his class.

Prof Frost is very particular in the way he wants us to do the chapters the way he teaches you and no other way. He made a text book so you do not have to buy one. He does weekly quizzes but they are on whatever was learned the week before. The one bad thing is he does not post your grades, you must see him to find out.
