easy and help you if u ask him. sit in the front people if u sit in the back youll just talk.
study with him, he will be deadly tired of hw he gives u, but if u manage ur time to finish them all, getting A is piece of cake
Lombard is an adorable and easy-going man who knows what the heck he's teaching. I was never good at trig but he makes it so easy to understand. cracks jokes to keep class entertained and is helpful when needed.
he's a very good teacher. he explains everything thoroughly n his tests r easy.
hella homework at least 60 problems a week and he never lets you leave early
GREAT TEACHER! he is very helpful.
He's really the best math teacher ive ever had. Funny, enthusiastic, and very helpful. He's so cool that you'll feel bad if you did bad in his class.
he's the best math teacher ever! take him.
pretty cool teacher; easy to understand n explain materials thoroughly

GREAT TEACHER!
hes very helpful in breakn down the material! he is easy to laugh at!!!! he lets you use many notes!!!
Lombard's the man! As long as you do all your homework and study your study guides for tests, you'll do well...
Mr Lomabard is very thorough in his class, explainds well..thank you
He's really cute and fun, and I can't wait until I'm 18, so I can ask him out.
The mannnnnn!!!!!!!!
Lombard is an easy professor. grades easily and tests are almost exactly like the study guides. overall easy teacher! funny and nice too =)
He's one of the best teachers ever! I moved out of San Jose, and haven't found anyone quite like him!
Mr. Lombard is a cool teacher. He will take the time to explain things, and if you still don't get it, he'll explain it again. He will never turn away a question, it's easy to participate in his class. He wants to make sure it's understood and will help until it is understood. Highly recommend. Tests are easy.
greattttttttt
He's a good teacher and easy to Ace, but he skipped 6.3 ,which is important for pre-cal
He is a really cool teacher. He is very helpful and has always a positive attitude. I definetely recommend this teacher. :)
This guy is the funniest man to walk the Earth."What did the tree say to the acorn? Gee I'm a tree!" Great teacher! Could teach monkeys and me to do math. Makes it a point to get students comfortable with the subject matter before moving on. I highly recommend him.
SUPPER TEACHER!!!!!he's one of the most wonderful teacher in EVC. I did hate math when i was in my country;however, i change my mind when i attend in Mr LOmbard's class.If u hate studying math, take mr Lombard's class u will change ur mind(like me). Mr. Lombard is the most helpful math teacher. Thanx lots for helping and making me change my mind
Great Teacher! I got a B in his class because I was lazy, Tests are easy, just take notes, do your homework, study (btw, he lets you use cheat sheets for all exams).
great teacher! 3 tests & a final which he gives study guides that are base on the tests, so u can't fail. AGAIN, MR LOMBARD IS THE BEST!
Excellent teacher. He shows many examples, which really helps. When I took Math 070 last semester, I came out not knowing anything. Through Mr. Lombard, I pretty much knew everything that was taught in Math 070, and as well and help him in his class while he was teaching. Too bad he isn't teaching next semester... =)
Fun class (any math class). Very knowledgeable.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER OUT THER. HE REALLY HELPS U....HE TAKES HIS TIME AND EXPLAINS THINGS GREAT!! I DID NOT NO NETHING IN MATH AND THANKS 2 HIM IM WAY BETTER.
Best math teacher in evc ! He gives us 1 pg of notes front and back for each midterm. 4 pg's for final. Gives you credit for trying the problem on midterm/final. You'll pass if you take him trust me because i did and im not even a math person.
I've hated math and done so bad my whole life until I took a class with Mr Lombard. He is so patient. He takes his time to show every single step of any problem you have a question on. When he goes over homework, make sure you ask when you dont know because he will go over it. He spends about 30mins to an hour going over homework and it really help
Prof Lombard is an awesome teacher. He is very patient with the class if we don't understand him. Although he gives out a lot of homework problems, he grades very lightly on them. Also, for exams he allows the class to use "cheat sheets". I would definitely recommend him.
Great attitude with lots of patience. Creates a comfortable learning environment for everyone. You won't feel stupid asking questions in this class.
Mr Lombard is an easy-going man who knows how to explain concepts thoroughly. Assigns many homework problem sets mostly to help you practice and understand the material. Very very helpful in class and on exams. I'd recommend taking Mr. Lombard for all your math classes at evc.
BEST math teacher I've ever had. Took him for two classes. Really knows his stuff. He explains everything to the best of his ability and makes sure no one is left confused. Gives lots of hmwk for other classes but not stats-that's the only way to master math. Highly recommended.
He's areally good teacher and is funny because of his lame jokes. He'll help you if you're stuck, and e does assign a bit of homework. Class is fun. You should definitely take him :)
He is very patient and funny.. He does give quit a bit of HW.. as long as you do them and fair on the tests, then you should do very well in the class.
very good and chill teacher easy class very funny guy
He is a cool guy. I am looking forward to get Intermidiate Math at his class. He is funny. I like him. He explanes well. Before him I hated Math and never studded at High School and miracle happend. I see now how important to have a good teacher. Thank you!
Helpful, fair, funny, and patient teacher. He gives a lot of homework to help up your grade so make sure to do it! Highly recommended. :)
The Best math teacher hands down. He really wants his students to succeed.
Lectures are sometimes unorganized, but can be easily understood. Assigns homework from the book regularly (allows you to use either an older edition or the new edition of the book to help students save money) and goes over math problems students had trouble with before turning it in. Allows a cheat sheet for each quiz/test. Sense of humor! :)
This is the second time I take this class and I am extremely happy that I took it with Mr. Lombard the second time around. He is very patient and goes above and beyond to help his students understand the problems. He does give a fair share of homework but in the long run it's good practice to help you do well on the exams. Plus, he's humorous!!!
MR LOMBARD is my favorite math teacher. he inspires me soooo much, im going to take him this spring
He is an awesome teacher, I love math but even if you don't love it he make it so you can totally understand it. He is great I would take him again.
Normally you would get a geeky math teacher, but instead I would never expect to get a HOOOTTTT professor like Lombard! Very helpful and explains the materials very well. And did I mention he's the best looking professor I've ever seen? He's so hot he makes me wanna attend class everyday!
Very easy teacher. Explains well and is funny. He will help you after class and during break if needed. Highly recommended. I'm taking my next class with him if he's teaching it. Easy to understand. Don't lag on doing the homework and you will get an A or B. Tests are easy, hardly any word problems. AND WHY HASN'T ANY ONE GIVEN HIM A CHILI PEPPER?
Excellent teacher.
Excellent teacher!!! Highly recommended!!! Very nice, organized, approchable. He's always willing to work with you and makes math understandable and easy. He's very patient and a great teacher esp. for those who dont like or are struggling with math. I passed with an A and it wasn't too hard.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! And not because he's easy, but he is. Lombard walks you through every step and explains everything. Before taking his class I had to take each math class several times to pass with a C, I got a B in his class the first time around. He also makes class interesting, even the 2.5 hour night class i took, I didn't fall asleep once.
very easy teacher. very fun class. you can use a printer paper of notes on the test. but only bad part is that he give lots of homework, but he does go over the homework. he will tell you what is going to be on test.
Very nice and funny teacher. Sometimes too nice. He's the type of teacher willing to work with you and stay after class to explain things to you. Can use notes on tests and practice exams given. Lots of homework. Only complaint is he takes his time returning tests. The suspense waiting kills me.
Helpfull, funny,explains the material very well. always willing to help so DONT hesitate to ask. only downside is that he assigns alot of homework but if you really do do it all you can pretty much guarantee an A in the class and in all the exams.pretty much tests off the hw...Math 25 is not an easy A tho, you need to put on an affort
I've taken him twice and I'll continue taking him if his classes are available. He makes class fun and he's an excellent teacher. He breaks problems down and in more than 1 way so there are different techniques in solving problems. He's always willing to help and takes time after class to explain if you don't understand I Highly recommend his class
Very Good
Awesome teacher! He made me understand Math & its my worst subject. I actually enjoyed coming to his class. He is funny, laid back and really wants you to pass. I will be taking him for my next few math classes! I didnt buy the book or turn in any homework and still passed with an 87.3% Its a pass/no pass but he emails your actual grade. Take him!
No he does not pass you for trying! Homework doesnt matter to him at all and he takes weeks to pass back homework and exams. He plays only favorites so if he likes you he will pass you. But if you struggle and recieved only 67 and 68 on exams he will end up looking down on you. heres my advice make a good cheat sheet. and his jokes are annoying.
Great Professor
Really Really Good Professor
we take notes through out the whole class, its very good to be there for every class because every day he covers ALOT. and what ever notes you take, will be on the exam. exams arent that hard, but he gives out ALOT of homework.
I took Math 13 FOUR times before taking it with Mr. Lombard and I wished I would known about him before. He is a great caring professor that really tries to ensure everyone in class understands the material. You MUST attend EVERY class or else you will fall behind, he allows you to use notes for your tests and assigns HW every day TAKE HIM!
I absolutely LOVE Mr.Lombard!!! I have never been good at Math but Mr.Lombard got me a passing grade.I thank his patients,and his overall goofy attitude for my passing grade.
I had failed Math 13 4x's before taking it with Lomard. He truly cares for his students and wants everyone to succeed. His lectures are very clear and considering the subject makes it interesting. You have to do your homework and score well in the exams to make through his class. DONT MISS class or else you will be lost.
Best Professor ever!!!!
Mr Lombard is the best math teacher. He doesnt just pass you, he actually teaches you easy steps to solve the equations. I'm so thankful for him. If you can do basic operations then you have a chance at passing!
Mr. Lombard is a nice guy. He's very understanding and helpful. If you need help just go to math lab! He doesn't have "office hours". Sometimes you'll find him in math lab but not really on the times his syllabus says he will be. He allows you to use cheat sheet or notes for exams and final. I got a B because of cheat sheets! Take him!
im not very good when it comes to math. but he made me understand every little thing we did. hes very patient with his class and he knows how to make us feel comfortable. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Cool guy, compulsory attendance, improvement needed on helpfulness. Goes fast because he answers Q's in the beginning. Fairly clear when lecturing (uses board and occasionally sheets. ) Tell jokes (best part,) 4 tests (including final,) in-class quizzes (easy becuz you can work together,) hw compulsory but u can turn it in late.
So easy. Notes allowed on all tests, not too much hw. He's real nice and pretty funny, best math teacher Ive taken
Seriously, Professor Lombard is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He teaches you the proofs of every formula which is what I will be expected to do in graduate school. He knows his subject and encourages students to approach problems in different ways. Very helpful analysis skills can be gained.
Hands down the best teacher I have ever had. Mr. Lombard cares about his students and wants them to understand the subject. He takes the time to explain the problems if you have any questions. Another plus, he has a great sense of humor! I wish I could take every math class with him. I highly recommend him. Show up and do the work and you will pass
best math teacher i ever had, no kidding , he actually teaches you and his class is not boring , on the test he doesn't pressure you. too bad he is not teaching math 21 or else i will take him again. homework is ok i guess , so happy i took him last semester, got an A , which i think i do deserve it.
he is great teacher
If you hate Math, give Mr. Lombard a shot. He always has a positive vibe, and doesn't make you dread the class. Regularly assigns homework from the book, so you will need the book. Usually 3 tests and a final, BUT, there is always a study guide which is similar format to the test, and you can use a page or 2 of notes. Show up, do HW and take notes.
He is an amazing teacher sometimes he gives too much homework, but then accepts it late if you weren't able to do it. He takes his time to explain everything clearly. I have never gotten an A in math until i got to his class because he is so clear in explaining and is really helpful.
Bob is literally the best college professor I've ever had. He is hilarious and very inspirational. There wasn't a single day that I walked out of that class upset, he is that funny. I don't even know if he's that funny he's just really sarcastic and awkward. His tests are very clear and he offers fun extra credit problems on all of them. GREAT GUY!
Let you use cheat sheets for test. First midterm 1 cheat sheet, second midterm 2 sheets and it goes like that. Give extra credit on all tests. Final is multiple choice. He explains problem really REALLY well. He doesn't like it when he sees that you're not focusing. Does take attendance. Overall great teacher. I wish he teaches Calculus.
Mr. Lombard is a GREAT teacher, however he hands back tests and assignments in an unorderly manner. He tends to take 3-4 weeks just to grade a test which isn't very efficient. Expect to have 3 tests and 1 Final Exam at the End of the Semester. He assigns homework on a daily basis and only has "in class quizzes" when he feels like it.
As others have pointed out, Mr. Lombard is a great instructor. Not only that, he's also a great person. If you don't understand something and ask him, he's more than happy to explain again. He'll tell you it's a great question even if it's plain stupid. His class is not difficult but you have to work for it. I had a good time in his class.
Too fast with teaching and blocks what he's writing. I am a visual learner ( I think everyone is with math) and his messy handwriting, scattered brain, and body blocking the board did not help at all. Easy going with homework not very approachable however. All in all, do not take if you take time learning math.
Mr. Lombard is an unbelievably talented math teacher. I drive all the way from Santa Cruz twice a week just so I can take his amazing class. The world would be a better place if all math teachers were like him.
Amazing teacher, would take from again. Takes first 30mins to answer questions on hw, and rarely assigns even problems. Tells bad jokes to break up the monotony of lecture. Took his night class and he gave us a break ever 1 1/2 hrs. He gives extra credit problems at the end of each test, and tests are 10-12 questions long. Best teacher I've had.
All I have to say is that he is one of the best teachers I have ever had in a long time. Lessons are very helpful as he goes through all types of examples/problems. The only problem (I guess?) is the amount of problems he assigns for homework. I too, am a visual learner and had no problem. Git gud (put some effort in and ask him for help.)
A great teacher and has a dry type of humor that is pretty funny although you mostly laugh in your head at it and then you both get awkward over it. His teaching is solid and he is a very understanding professor. Kind of monotonous sometimes but you can't go wrong with this teacher.
easy to understand which is a must if Math is your weak subject. you will work in his class, but he isnt intimidating. very understanding, and if you go to class and pay attention and keep up you will do good. no math class is easy if you hate math, but this is a great teacher to make the process smooth. show up, and do hw, there is a lot.
Great teacher. I would definitely take him again.
he's so nice! CHEAT SHEET IS ALLOWED. just go ask any question after the class and he will spend time for you as much as he can. he wants the best for his students. he gives necessary amount of homework. it's a science class and anyone needs to work.
Amazing teacher!! If you had difficulty understanding the lecture and ask him for help, he will spend the time with you to help you understand it!
His lectures are clear and he makes sure students understand the material. He explains by proving concepts and is willing to help students who wants to learn. Lots of HW, exams are not difficult but you need to practice. Slow on grading. 3 exams with partial credit and 1 final on MC. Exam #1 1 cheat sheet, exam #2 2 cheat sheets... He is the best.
Mr. Lombard is YOUR math teacher if you are the type of person who DREADS math, and is not a math major. He will get you thru it. Here's how: He is not strict about late homework - He wants you to get a grip on the BASIC CONCEPTS. He allows CHEAT SHEETS. ANSWERS QUESTIONS and tells down to earth Math related stories to put you at ease.
great teacher. makes us laugh all the time. takings boring out of school. Gives 1 cheat sheet for 1st test , 2 for second, 3 for third, and 4 for final exam. And the cheat sheet is back and front. 10-15 min break. time pass quickly
Lombard is messy, sloppy, and a terrible teacher. I took him thinking he would be easy and good to work with but he was distracted easily and couldn't teach well. He also lectures with no shoes and eats food during class while using his shirt to wipe the board. I wish I never took him, there are better teachers for precalc!
He goes very fast in his lectures in an effort to shove as much information as he can in our 3 hour class, which can be exhausting to listen to. He knows his stuff, but he assigns a lot of work so be ready for that, never fall behind because if you do, you're screwed. If you usually do your homework well but fail tests, ouch, 20% per test, so 80%.
If you try, he will do his best to help make it to the end of the course. Allows you to have more than one cheat sheet. You can put whatever you want on them and even have them typed on a computer.
The class honestly ins't hard at all if you keep yourself on tract. The problems he assigns are almost identical to the ones he does in class, so if you pay attention in lecture you'll pretty much pass. Yeah it's a lot but its a math class, practice makes perfect. He's also a well meaning guy and tries to lighten the mood in his 3 hour lectures.
Math is usually a boring subject but he makes up funny jokes to lighten the lectures. He gives many breaks in between and allows you to eat whatever in class (he will even provide food sometimes) Overall a good teacher.
He is a good and effective teacher. He will help you if you ask for it. The grade is composed of HW + 3 test + final exam all worth 20% each. I would highly recommend anyone to take him. He teaches in a way which makes math understandable.
He is very understanding, caring and funny. He would tell jokes to lighten up the 3 hours lectures. His tests are very straightforward as long as you do the homework he assigned. Bottom lin: he is an amazing teacher.
Took him for fall2020 I only went to 2 zoom meetings out of the whole semester even though they are mandatory I still managed to get a high B. He's super sloppy but still is "caring" i guess and will get to your emails asap. If you hate math take this class its easy.
Hes a little messy as a teacher, love him though took him over the summer and read about him so decided to have him. Do not regret taking his class, enjoyed it a lot! Hopefully I can take him again soon..
He is the nicest professor I have met in my four years in college. Homework is mainly for practice and the homework is not hard and not graded harshly. Would definitely take his class again.
This class was one of the best I have ever taken. Mr. Lombard is very kind and caring. I would say that he is a great role model. However, the textbook is slightly expensive.
One of the best professors I have ever taken! Math has always been a super hard subject for me but Mr. Lomabard makes everything super easy to understand and follow. If you ever need any help he is willing to help you. Has a joke book that he uses at least once a day to keep people entertained and also stories. Great teacher take him if available.
Classes with Mr Bob have been so worthwhile Mr Bob has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable and always keeping it light and fun He providing textbook Practice test always helpful be patient with that you will get perfect grade. Hw will be due once a week as well not too much pressure in this class he is pretty cool
good at explaining things in detail. also fun teacher. he assigns a lot of homework but it is doable. his tests are really easy if you pay attention to his lectures and do the hw. there are four tests. the 1st test you can have 1 cheat sheet, 2nd test is 2 cheat sheets, 3rd is 3 cheat sheets, and 4th (which is the final) is 6 cheat sheets.
Hes really good
I took a class with professor Bob Lombard this spring semester I didn't have a good experience he does not post grades in canvas And he ignores e mails from students in his class. He is very messy and sloppy. He didn't seem interested in helping me.
Professor Lombard is the best professor I have had so far. He makes his class easy and ensures his material is clearly understood. Compared to most other professors, he is chilled out with the workload and tests. He makes it clear he cares for his students and their success. I highly recommend taking his class as much as you can!
Professor was amazing. Exams are easy as long as you did homework or had good notes. Only reason I got a C was because I didn't turn in hw (I procrastinate a lot). I got about 85% average on exams. He records his class sessions and posts them on canvas in case you wanna revisit them. Good at explaining the work as well. Definitely recommend.
Professor Lombard is excellent, in six weeks he was able to teach trigonometry at a good pace trying to make sure we all understand the concepts. He's not a harsh grader compared to other teachers and the quizzes weren't hard as long as you showed up to class and did the homework. Overall I would recommend him. Note he doesn't use canvas.
I took Mr. Bob's class during the fall semester. I definitely recommend taking his class; he's very funny, he shares stories from his life in some of his lectures, and he's very approachable. His class consists of three exams and a final, he lets us use cheat sheets, the amount of homework is reasonable, and he offers extra credit. I 100% recommend
