Sometimes he makes mistakes or doesn't fully answer a question. He is very easy-going and willing to help.

Great guy, funny too.

Very nice guy, laid back. A bit confusing at times but very flexible and approachable.

He's incredibly nice, very funny, and helpful as anything. The reviews are a priceless resource, and he's an overall great guy.

He's a good guy, very approachable and relaxed!

good teacher, despite the huge classes

This guy was the man! Made everything easy and I've never been a math person. Sit in front, look out for his jokes, its a great class- never thought I'd say that about math- a little spacey but, A GOOD TEACHER

hes an all araound good guy. He tries to make the class fun and enjoyable but he isnt that great of a teacher in a big lecture. He makes a lot of mistakes and the class as a hole needs to watch out for them and tell him. Overall a good guy bad teacher with big classes.

I had him for two semesters. He is a very nice guy and no one gives him enough credit. Teaching wise, he does make mistakes, but tests..you either know it or you don't. that's how math generally tends to be. I found it easy and him easy to understand. He's one of my favorites :)

HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I HAVE HAD

He explains things really well, but makes alot of mistakes in his work. I still can't tell if he does it on purpose, so the students will catch the mistake, or if he really messes up all the time. the class sucks, but if youre not good at understanding math concepts, he makes things easier to understand.

Class wasn't too bad. Basically hands you the exam questions on a silver platter during the review sessions so always go to them.

Okay lets be fair, he teaches to a bunch of immature snobs who think its okay to talk during the entire class. He gives you the exam, he does review session in class which is the entire exam, he also offers a help center which is free, where the tutors will help you with anything. Not too bad, when he gets to know you!

He's fair.Collects hmwk often.Sometimes messes up when teaching the material/writing down notes.Has his ADHD moments when he goes off track and tells us stories or weird/funny examples.If you're one of those chatter-boxes w/ your friends or you fall asleep in class,be ready to hear him tell you off.Overall,pretty cool guy.He cares + wants u 2 learn

Hands down my favorite teacher in college thus far! He gets a little bit tangled in the work, but wutdahell! He's fun, funny, and makes it worth your time being in class. Doesn't tolerate all the talking/goofing around and will confront you. This semester we basically relearned old material using an online course. If you ask him for help u get it.

Okay, i've had this guy for two semesters. He's a decent teacher, really wants you to learn. classes can be a little dull, but c'mon its math! just make sure you always go attendance is a must!over all not a bad class

He's a good guy, he's kinda boring and he does try to be really funny.. but you have to humor the guy.. hes tryin..

Easy teacher. Don't bother buying the book, you don't even open it. You don't even have to attend class - all his notes are online that he teaches from.

Prof. Emond is a good guy! Really wants to make sure you learn. All homeworks and quizes are online (easy) you can do it as many times as you want to get good grade. He does try to be funny - just laugh! Gives extra points for going to class 80% of time. He always wistled at our class to get attention, very anoying. Liked the class, Good Guy!

Unless he decided to play the 'mandatory attendance' card upon your class, you don't need to go to this class. I taught myself everything in the class via the online program. He treats the class like a high school class and he needs to realize that not everyone's going to pay attention 100% of the time.

Really nice guy. He makes an effort to ensure a good grade for everyone in the class, and he does his best to make math relevant. He does have his moments, however. He will treat the class as though we're in high school (or younger) and will often make math errors. If the math wasn't so easy, that would be a major issue.

Great teacher...Math was never my subject but prof. E made it easy to understand! I would definitely take one of his classes again! His jokes might be dry but he's clear and easy to understand. You only need to buy the text for the MyMathLab code, Ive never used the book.

Nice guy, really is. Laid back when people aren't talking during lecture, Im horrible at math and he made it very stress free. Easy to do well in the class. Online program is a MAJOR step above using OWLS

He doesnt appresheate talking during class or use of cell phones, he will stop the whole class if u disrupt. Also he knows his material to a point, twords the end of trig he forgets what hes doing and messes everything up. Ask the TAs for help because he is pointless to ask. But homework is easy and counts for almost all your grade.

Overall easy class. There are two exams and a final. Homework is on my math lab and is worth most of your grade, so make sure to do your homework.

Easiest class ever depending how you are at basic algebra. I didn't go to class often, did all my homework (gives you infinite tries on mymathlab), and showed up for exams. Also very easy to test out of the second half of the class. The teacher himself was monotonous but is very willing to help. Didn't use book at all--just buy mymathlab.

So easy. Literally, the only times I went to class was when he reviewed for the tests. All the homework is online, and when he reviews for the test he tells you exactly what #1-25 will look like. He can be moody, though, and sometimes acts like we're in high school. But overall, I thought it was an easy A.

Explained math better than any math teacher I had ever had. I was never good at math in high school but because of his class, I can understand it now. Homework and exams are very important to grade but if you're not someone who can self teach, going to class will help a lot.

Best math teacher I have ever had. He is patient, kind and helpful. I recommend this class!

Prof. Emond is patient, kind and helpful. I recommend this class!

Great teacher! Patient and thoughtful presentation of information. Answers questions thoroughly. It is important to go to test reviews.

Makes class very easy, and is attentive to helping students learn and get good grades. His grading policies give more than they take, he reopened hw just to be nice. His tests are easy as long as you do the study worksheet before them. Genial guy with a great sense of humor.

Professor Emond is a sweet, sweet man. He's very lenient with deadlines and one of the nicest professors I've had since being at UMass. He was very helpful and truly showed an interest in helping us understand the material. As long as you do the online homework, you'll be fine. Good R1 GenEd!

Professor Emond is the nicest guy. He is extremely dedicated to helping his students do well & is pretty laid back. If you do not understand something in lecture go to his office hours - Professor Emond is extraordinarily helpful during this time. Do the homework & use the practice tools provided on MyMathLab to prepare for each exam.

One of the best professors I have ever had. He explains the material very well. If you don;t understand he will help you. Exam reviews are very helpful. Exams are easy if you pay attention in class and review.

He was a very easy professor. Gave us the questions on the exam prior to the exam. Made it impossible to fail. Must do your homework each class though. EASY A!

Online class easy if you do your homework. You are able to work through the MML which is easy to follow. If you don't understand something professor will respond to questions timely. He lets you know exactly what will be on the final exam so you can prepare. Go over homework examples and final review. Final will be an easy A.

Great, professor, knows what he's talking about and explains it very easily to the class. Has a tendency to write mistakes on his projector but he corrects them pretty quick (a plug instead of minus, etc..). Homework and exams are easy.

He is very nice and makes class super easy, but he always makes mistakes. He thinks everyone thats in his class is stupid because how low the class level is. He doesn't respond to emails and is late putting up your grades. as long as you do your homework you'll get an A+

Cons: Strict with electronics, teaches in circles, doesn't always teach the material covered on the homework which is mandatory, Pros: Friendly and keeps class interesting, Reviews before tests show an example of each question, helpful, easy if you keep up with the material

I loved this class. Emond is very helpful. He explains things very thoroughly. Homework is every night and is usually harder than the problems done in class, but he is very very lenient. Grading is very fair. He will act tough (he hates cell phones!) but for the most part is really kind. Also tells jokes.

Great professor, he is a wonderful person to be around. He finds ways to make students laugh, and even if his jokes are not funny, he genuinely tries to make us laugh. He is a very fair grader as well. Study and attend lectures and you will do really well.

Brian is a really great guy and tries add a little humor into his lectures. He's very helpful and gives you a lot of chances, but he doesn't tolerate people who don't pay attention. Awesome professor!

I'm just finishing the class now, and I can certainly say that he's a great professor. Unfortunately he's retiring at the end of the semester, but fortunately for my class, as a gift of his appreciation, he cancelled our 8 A.M. final. Very effective teacher, I certainly learned a lot.

Lectures were relatively short and easy to follow. He was always happy to explain in a different way if you didn't understand. All homework was online and easy to keep up with. Sometimes willing to extend due dates if there is a time crunch. Only 3 tests, including the final. Possible random attendance quizzes. Would definitely recommend. :)
