I took his Summer accelerated class. No calculators allowed! He says he grades fair, which means theres no easy A. His class is alot of work to keep up with, offers 5% extra credit on exams, which is awesome, but to recieve it you have to do 500-1000 problems weekly. So its busy busy busy. Recommended for ambitious students only.

Mr. Boruta knows his stuff and is a nice guy. However, he is a bit too laid back; he's not really an authority figure. Many students constantly interrupted his lectures to crack jokes. He doesn't care if students text in his class room; use their phone, etc. It's quite obnoxious; especially when nothing is being done about it.

Mr. Boruta was a great professor. I took his algebra two class during the summer and it was the wisest choice I ever made. He was fair clear in his information and was easy to understand. It was not easy but with at least an hour of study time a day passing WILL NOT be hard to do. If he taught calculus 1 and 2 I would only take his class.

Math is by far my worst subject, I took math 0070 with Boruta and I did surprisingly well, and then I took him again for 1100 and it is without a doubt one of the best decisions I've ever made. I am horrible with math and I aced math 1100!! Show up to class, do the class work and you will pass for sure. Take math with this gem you won't regret it!!

He is a nice guy no doubt but his tests are very very heavy and he's super strict on test day. You have to study super well for the tests. And tests are not multiple choice. You have to write the solve each by each step. Even if you mistake on any step while writing the solutions he will cut each point from it. AGAIN, he is very strict. No mercy...

That's all he was there for was to answer questions. He let you work problems out on the board and did well in answering all my questions. He cares about you and your grade. Loved him.
