Boris is extremely helpful. Wonderful teacher, A+++ teacher. He makes everything in math easy and shows you great short cuts. Highly Recommended. If you need help in math, go to him. I wished he taught my math class in the fall. :)
I love professor Boris!!! I think he is one of the greatest math teachers I have ever had. When he teaches, he puts his emotions and all his feelings into it which I find it to be very adorable.. He is determined that you understand what he is teaching in his class. Very good quality for a teacher to have.
He is a very nice guy and he has a sense of humor which is a good thing. He comes to class ready to teach and if we have any problems with a question, he goes back and see whether or ont you made the mistake or he made an error. he's also not ashamed of being wrong. he makes mistakes and he fixes them :)
Great teacher, however, you must be present in the class and pay attention to do well on his exams.
Very smart. If you know the material in the textbook you'll do well on the exams.
He clearly explains everything and he's willing to show more examples if you don't understand it.
awsum teacher...great skills
Boris is one of the nicest guys ever ^_^ Everything learned in class are in the exams. No strings attached. He is such a helping hand. You will be glad that you have a teacher like him.
He's a pretty easy professor. If you like learning from one book and the teacher taking the exam question from book.Then you should take him.
hes the best gotta love him :-)
its a cool class n its helpful
Explains everything thoroughly,helps out as much as he can for example if you answered a problem wrong, he will try to find your matake and help you with the problem. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Professor Raskin is a very sweet guy and very considerate. He loves when you ask questions and when he makes a mistake and you correct him he gets happy. He has a good sense of humor but he takes teaching seriously. When you take his exams they are not a surprise because it is always on what he has mentioned and textbook material.
He has a sense of humor and is very nice to everyone, unless you don't do what you are supposed to do. He is willing to help students as much as they need. He's cool.
Very good profffesor but sometimes may skip steps when solving promblems, otehr than that very helpful.
always go over questions when students request in the class and explain very clear.
i enjoyed having Prof. Boris for my Math professor because i lke the ways he is organize, how he help use with our test by giving us Quizs to make up our grades. he is an easy grader, polite to student, devoted to work. but the only thing i want for his class is participation because i want to express myself as a student on the board to see my wick
He is the best! He really helps u do math! :)
Professor Raskin's teaching ability is exemplary!(ie:excellent)He is the type of teacher that makes the class interesting and relevant if you might possibly be worried that it could become boring.When you ask a question, he does not put you down, and if other students do, he points out why the question is an important one.Smart students take Boris
For me any professor would be an easy A cuz I knew the materials.But overall nothing bad about him.
He is a very nice guy and he has a sense of humor which is a good thing. He comes to class ready to teach and if we have any problems with a question, he goes back and see whether or ont you made the mistake or he made an error.
Professor Raskin is a wonderful man. He brings humor and energy into the classroom. He makes sure his students understand all the material before moving on. Professor Raskin is a great teacher.
Explains everything thoroughly, helps as much as he can; for example if you answered a problem wrong, he will explane your mistake and help you with the problem. Attendance is taken daily; exams are given weekly. Exams' material is mostly from the lectures, so you better attend the classes.

Professor raskin is an amazing professor. He know's his material. His exams are very fair to what he teaches in class. If a student needs help, he is always there to help. He has a good sense of humor. Loves to teach and overall I give him an A as a professor.
great teacher explains everything clearly.. great guy would love to have him for all my math classes... and hes very very funny haha i will never forget his comment on "text bagging" funny man and fair grader and explains everything thoroughly
Some people like Boris and some don't I don't he was one of my worst instructors ever in life if you confused he tells you get a tutor or do Alecks a computer program than as many of the comment say he likes to joke well when your there for a class to learn you can care less about about a joke it can be rather annoying
Crappy instructor he thinks students being confused is funny he'll make a joke of it one of his sayings " In my class every semester only 50% of the students pass sometimes less good luck on taking his class there's a big chance you may fail tutor and all
BORIS IS THE BESTEST TEACHER !! HE MAKES EVERYTHING SO UNDERSTANDABLE. HE'S FUNNY, AND NEVER GETS MAD. HE'LL ALWAYS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION NO MATTER HOW STUPID YOU THINK IT IS..JUST ASK! AND HE WONT MAKE YOU FEEL STUPID AT ALL!..HE USES AS MUCH AS TIME AS YOU NEED UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND.

Boris! He's an amazing teacher. Prio his class, I hated math. Now, I love it! He makes math so easy to understand. If I ever had any problems, I would simply raise my hand and without any questions he would clearly answer it. All the tests are fair to the material learned in class and to top it all of, he had an amazing sense of humor!

Boris is the best math teacher. He is very funny and very helpful. With him time will seem like its flying. SAMANTHA COLE

Great professor. Questions are the same as the ones he reviews in class. Take him and show up and you will be fine :)
GREAT Professor!
I absolutely love how Boris teaches. Took this class in the summer with another professor and I barely understood the subject but with Boris I got the best help ever and I passed.
Work on "mypie" (aleks.com) to complete your topics and pay attention in class! Overall, he is a Great Professor!!
The worst professor in LIU. You can't understand anything . Worst teaching skills.
He is a great professor and even though he sometimes likes to solve the problem rather than explain it, he is an overall great person. I would definitely recommend him and I wish I could take his class again! Don't just take his class because of math but because of his corny jokes too :) haha
Boris was a great teacher had him for the HEOP summer session. He grades leniently and gives you a chance to get every point on his exams. Expect to get an exam every week, with a review sheet for homework every weekend. He explains everything thoroughly, which causes lack of participation, but still ask question if you do not understand.
Best professor I have had so far, very helpful if you don't understand something he will help. Very clear and gives lots of examples and just overall gives a huge amount of support. Very cool guy and is very relaxed in the classroom. dropped my lowest test and that really helps if you mess up once.
Very Helpful! If you don't understand a math problem, he can automatically help and explain what is going wrong. He is also funny and gives very well explanations on how to approach a difficult question.
Boris is an amazing math professor; he breaks everything down to ensure that everyone understands the materials. Don't miss class, you'll be lost the next day. Everyone passed with an 70+ on exams.
Very well spoken. Learned a lot from taking this class. He is a very good Professor, he explains very well and takes his time teaching the material at a reasonable pace.
very good professor, if you ask him for help he will help you.
Prof. Raskin is an amazing math prof. He explains the material very well and works with the student.
Professor Boris elaborates on math problems to help students understand better
The professor Boris Raskin responds all the students questions. He is respectful of his students. Professor tries to explain each task in detail. And he offers help if students need it.
I am a freshman and I was really nervous for my first class and for my first professor. But after my first class with Professor Raskin, I was grateful because he always asked us if we understood the topic or if we have any questions. He always gave us less and easy homework. And I would be LUCKY and GRATEFUL to have him as my professor again.
It was a pleasure being in Professor Raskin class. He really take his time and explain every question so that everyone could understand.
Amazing amazing I have no words for this professor hes been with me through it all I didnt understand one thing about math but because of him I passed the final exam with a easy 100 so much respect for this guys I love love him every little detail he helped me through guided me if this professor will put his heart out to help you through all
Professor Raskin was great to have. I am not good in math at all but he made it easy for me to understand and I actually retained some of the formulas. I would definitely take his class again.
Great teacher
He's okay at least he's trying to help us.
Professor Boris Raskin is such a great professor! Very patient and will explain anything you have difficulty in. Im not the best at math but he made it very easy for me to learn it in a matter of four weeks as long as you put in your part, his class is an easy A!
Boris Raskin was so helpful when I took my online math immersion class.
Amazing professor and awesome lecturers.
Very professional and ready to work.
Made me like math
Professor Boris is an amazing Professor with a passion for educating. He's very patient, compassionate and really motivates every student to love math and succeed in course.
Prof. Raskin is hands down the greatest mathematics class I have had so far. His lectures, practice exams, software learning ensure you will learn. He makes it so simple that you actually learn and pass. Prof. Raskin also answers questions very well. Truly the best. Take this class. Thank you Prof. Raskin!
Professor Raskin did an amazing job teaching the IMAT over the summer. If you come to class every day, listen to the lectures and ask questions, you will do great. The biggest help was doing ALEKS. It bridges the gaps between the lessons and was an awesome tool. ALEKS is your best friend! Use it! Prof was so kind and cared about his students. A+
Professor is easy going, straight to the point and provides understandable lectures
Professor is easy going, straight to the point with understandable lectures which helps solve any problem without difficulty
He is a great teacher. He explains things very well. He's passionate about the subject. He is patient and understanding. I wouldn't mind having him again for any other math class. He used different exercises to help students understand a concept. Showing some tricks to do different things made it easier for me to get certain things.
A treat to work side by side with!
I'm amazing how the professor teaches class by using Aleks app that help me a lot with understanding and remember things I forgot in high school. I was amazed by Aleks and I will use it for learning and for my kids for them to learn too.
Professor Raskin is amazing doing his job an absolutely incredible joy to work with and I 100% recommended anyone. Aleks really helped me pass the class please listen to everything he says
Professor Boris was very helpful throughout his lectures. He introduced us to Aleks. Aleks is a website that walks you through different math problems. Providing detailed explanations. Thanks to this class alongside the Aleks site, both were tremendously helpful for me. I was able to pass the final! Thank you professor for all your help!
The Alek program made it possible for me to get reacquainted with math skills that were dormant and bring about an astonishing grade.
He is one of the greatest, and most patient.He pushes us to study on the Aleks platform. Home work, and class work is always given on this platform. He never had any problem with going over the material until every last one of us understands. I really wish he could be my professor for my next math class. Overall he is the greatest.
Professor Boris Raskin M200 is truly a great!
Professor Boris Raskin M200 Truly a great informative funny math professor. I highly recommend him. He is willing to break down / review the math problem over and over with different examples. when you have any questions comments or concerns! The best part is he saves us money by providing PDF worksheets and homework to practice.
He was a great math teacher for me and he was understandable and also he would break down math and make sure student got what they needed & I would love to have him again.
Professor Raskin is an very nice and helps us to understand the material. He helps us feel the class is easy and I would take a class with him again
Professor Raskin made numbers fun for me . The course was a bit fast paced so much is crammed in a few weeks. overall great experience , great teacher funny moments .
Great professor. The explanation with each lecture is exactly what I needed to understand and figure out the problem solving myself. He also made us use Aleks, which has been really helpful. It always gave a good explanation and breakdowns to each math problem, if needed. Honestly, anyone can pass as long as you listen in on the lectures :)
great teacher very caring
professor raskin is the best! he taught us how to use aleks and it was a very helpful tool to lead us to passing his course. would 100 percent take him again if i could!
Explained every problem step by step
Professor Raskin is a caring and thoughtful lecturer. I entered this math course completely intimidated by the subject material. I historically was not good at math, but he was able to walk the class through the basics while slowly ramping up the difficulty until I eventually felt more confident. I highly recommend Prof. Boris Raskin.
He's done a stellar job in explaining every material step-by-step.
verry informative
Professor Boris Raskin is a great lecturer, he is very observant with all of his students. It was easy learning and understanding with Mr. Raskin, he is patient, kind and respect his students. I actually understand and enjoyed doing mathematics.
Professor Raskin is a great math instructor. The lectures are engaging, and he uses helpful tools like Aleks to guide us. Unstuck AI also proved useful for study prep. Definitely take this class if you can!
Prof. was easy going, thorough with explanations while being patient and open to discussions.
I took this professor online for three weeks in July 2024 at Kingsborough. The professor was hard to understand what he's saying in his lectures. The classes were extremely long.
Mr. Boris is very sweet but stern! He is very caring, and he explains the problems out thoroughly. I understood everything he explained, even when I got frustrated, he took the time out to break the problem down. I would take his class over again!!
Such a good teacher, always willing to help lets you know everything, if you dont do it he will fail you, its really up to you to do his work
Professor Raskin is great! He really cares about his students and explains things in a way that makes sense. The class is well organized and workload is fair and he is always willing to help and always provide provides alternatives with his teaching to help you understand the curriculum. you can tell he wants you to succeed. Highly recommend!
