TEST ARE VERY HARD.

He was a very challenging teacher. The tests were hard especially the final.ouch!I took him during the summer so it was three times the work.If your not good at math ,don't take it. But if you're up for the challenge then go for it.

This teacher's lecture is very clear. Test is not hard, he likes to put the 1st question a hard one. He is not very smart, so it's a chance for you to get an A.

He is nice and he explained problems very clear. and the most important thing is that his grade is nice. he wouldn't take off any points on careless mistake. isn't that nice. the only thing u have to do well in his class is understanding math exactly.

He is nice

No, he's not easy, but if you do the homework and ask questions if you still don't understand, then he does take the time to try to explain things. It's a lot of work, but it can be done (I got an "A" over the winter session).

he explains very well and thoroughly. he is very neat which helps you understand better. he loves definitions, which he puts in exams, but those are easy points right there. I took him in the winter and I got an "A". Very funny, class was never

I find myself fall in sleep a lot in he class. He gives lots of homework.

Great Teacher, fun class, just study your notes really hard and do ALL your homework!

Excellent teacher!!! He explains very well. He is so clear during his lectures and he will make you visualize the material. His exams are HARD. Practice your homework as much as you can, you will get an "A".

VERY COOL TEACHER. CLASS WAS NEVER BORING. VERY CLEAR AND HIS NEATNESS WAS A PLUS IN UNDERSTANDING THE MATERIAL IT MADE GOOD NOTES. TESTS R NOT BAD IF YOU DO THE HW AND STUDY. I GOT A'S ON ALL THE TESTS. TAKE HIM AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

this professor is the best. he explains everything very clear. he makes math fun! he gives alot of homework and grades them strictly. his tests are easy. take this professor if you really want to understand math.

One of the best math teachers at PCC, and trust me I've taken a lot of them. His tests are a bit difficult, but he doesn't subtract points for little mental mistakes. Very clear in his teaching.

hardest math teacher in school,but if you want to learn something then take him

Difficult class but worth the time if you want to go on in math.

Although he has the best personality, he seems to be not-very-gifted at teaching. If you take him, it is most likely that you will have to study on your own with a textbook to do well on the test.

Honestly!!! I had to take a Xanax before his exam. Lets put this way: the test itself was a booklet, like 5 pages long,3 matricis 3 word problems and a bunch of other stuff. Just feeling the thickness of the exam made me want to Increase my dosage of Xanax =)

he talks and writes in slow motion but he can teach real fast that u could have 5 sections of hw to do over the weekends. his tests are not hard..take off a lot of points on just little careless mistakes or misuse of the method...the most important thing on tests is make sure u know the name of the method...keep in mind that hw is important to him.

Very good professor, hard but very patient and if you need clarification on something, he will go out of his way to help you. His tests are not so easy but he gives you a lot of credit even if you got wrong answer, as long as you show that you understand problem. Take him to learn math, not just to pass the class.

He is a hard teacher. But he is a cool person. I liked that the homework was due on the day of the test. So I would cram it all the night before the test. It helped me study. I got a B.

he's a good teacher he explain things very clearly, but the tests are hard. you will never get A in that class no matter how hard you try. if you take him you migh have big chance to fail this class

very good at what he does but his test are crazy. they are about 25 problems long and very hard but he tells you if u dont understand a Q's on homework thatit will prob be on the test.

he has a lot of funny remarks, although I hate mate period, and had a hard time, I did learn and had fun listening to an older teacher crack silly one liners

He gives hw like there is no tomorrow! Keep up with the sections assigned or you will fall behind. He's pretty good about helping, just go to his office hours and he'll tutor you. Overall he's a nice guy and his explanantions are pretty clear. Tests are pretty hard so don't slack off!

he's nice guy... he don't mind to reschedule our math test because half of my class haven't totally understand the subject.. A LOT of homework.. should do it everyday because he collect it on test day... the test problem actually isn't so hard, but he gave SO MUCH problems on the exam so I didn't have time to check my answers..

HES THE WORSTMATH TEACHER EVER! HIS TESTS ARE 2 TIMES HARDER THAN THE HOMEWORK! HE LIKES TO WASTE TIME GRAPHING THE FUNCTIONS WITH MULTIPLE COLORS>< THE ONLY WAY TO GET AN A IN THIS CLASS IS TO DO ALL THE ODD PROBLEMS AS WELL AS THE EVEN ONES!! MY FALL 06 CLASS WAS IMBALANCE..3/4 OF THE CLASS HAD TAKEN CALCULUS BFORE..THEY STILL ENDED UP WITH A C/B

his test is 2 times easier than homework.If you do your homwork well,you can easily to pass the test and eet A.I just don't like it because he asked the definition in test.Anyway he is the best teacher.

He's really nice and easy. You don't really do much in class. Just make sure you do your homeworks and you'll be fine. Homeworks are mostly online. You dont really need to use your books. He isn't hard nor anything. He's a funny guy as well.

he was tough but I learned soo much . his explanations are clear. i think he might go a little crazy on the homework and tests but overall i enjoyed taking his class. I loved the challenge. if math is not your strongest subject, don't take him. but if your up for the challenge ,then go for it.

His teaching style is absoutly perfect,and tests are not that hard as long as you are doing your homework well enough.The most easiest one is final test because he asked most of them from previous test just different numbers.He used to ask trick two or three question on the test.If he doesn't ,everybody will get an A.

If you are doing all of your homework, you will get grade B.If you study a little more,you will definitely get A.Actually, he should ask more trick questions othewise everybody will get A.

good, patient teacher!

Very good professor, hard but very patient and if you need clarification on something, he will go out of his way to help you. LITERALLY! His tests are not so easy but he gives you a lot of credit even if you got wrong answer, as long as you show that you understand problem. Take him to learn math, not just to pass the class.

Great professor! Tries hard to help us understand concepts.

I love this teacher!! his explanations are clear and seems to really enjoy math.

A really good math teacher. Knows his stuff, teaches theory not just algorithms, so you get "why" not just "how". Makes the material accessible and clear. Tests are difficult/plus a lot of homework, but that is GOOD. Rather have a prof with high expectations than one who gives a free ride. No free ride here, wish I could have him for 131 next term!

OKAY..THIS TEACHER IS GREAT! VERY NICE MAN...EXTREMELY HELPFULL!!!

Professor Hogue is an extremely good teacher. He knows how to clarify things so you understand them and will help you with anything. He is really nice and funny.In this class you have to be dedicated and determined.

Very good teacher although tests are pretty hard. has a great way of explaining math. very organized.

Ignore the below comments - bc there's NO WAY u won't accel with Mr. Hogue. REALLY YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS TEACHER! He has the funniest math songs 2 be just fun! If you have a ? He does anything, as many times as you need him to, so you as an individual will understand. I go gr8 in math now BECAUSE of Mr. Hogue as my 1st math teacher in college!!!!

He's a fair grading teacher and is sometimes lenient. Pretty hard on tests, sometimes he'll give questions he went over only once in the class. The vocab he teaches is also useful in the math test. He'll even answer the stupidest of questions. He loves teaching, but hates cell phones going off. I got an A cause of hardwork, which you will need

He is a great teacher IF you show interest in math... he is also very helpful during his office hours. People criticizing him are just mad because they could not handle high school level math! He teaches properly, tries to prepare you for higher level math...

challenging. Fantastic instructor for the sciences. If you have a weak ass major like PoliSci, Don't put yourself through his class. Overall, decent, quick and witty.

If your not good at math, dont take his class. Simply, he is hard because he teaches differently. He LOVES to proof thm. He can spend whole class to do proofs. If you really like math, you'll like what he does.Or, you'll just be LOST. Tests are hard and hard for new calc learners. If he didnt give the quiz to push my grade up, i'd have failed. -IC

Mr.Hogue is an excellent teacher for people majoring in the sciences. He has a solid method of teaching definitions to increase the students comprehension of the reasons that certain procedures function the way they do. People who complain about him do so because they aren't willing to put in the time or effort. Not for the lazy student.

I tend to struggle with math, but professor Hogue makes things very clear. In total there's about 4 tests and no quizzes. Homework is 20% of the grade but you don't need MyMathLab which saves you $$. He takes time in helping students and is tolerant towards them. Definitely recommend!

Let me first say you should take this class if you are majoring in math/science for it will be extremely beneficial. If you are not (like myself), it is very difficult to pass. He does care about his students but sort of expects much detailed perfection at times. Expect homework, TONS, & TO WORK HARD FOR a C or BETTER.

He is an excellent Professor, yes is very hard to pass but you will learn. Recommended for the science guys)

I took him for mathpath 131/7A. This professor knows math:). He is very good at challenging students. I learned a lot in his class and whatever other people say he is very good at teaching. I will recommend him for people who wants to learn. p.s: Although I'm not gifted at math I got A's for both classes through hardworking.

Professor Hogue should be as respected as other professors in other major universities. He is very difficult when it comes down to exams, but his lectures are very informative. The key is to practice, practice, practice. Lots of homework. Very caring and will go over questions if you have any. Pay attention to the lectures and do the homework.

I took him for Math Path 125/131 and really glad I did. I'm not good at math and I did struggle but that's my doing. He assigns plenty of homework that will end up in the exams. That is what math path is. You are warned that you will be living, eating, and breathing math. He takes his time with word problems and uses a great method to remember math

He is the one you MUST take for your all math classes. I took him for math path 125/131, and now I wanna take him for all my maths up to math 55! He explains everything over and over and over again, and he makes sure you understand the concept not memorize it. You are your grade, but he is always there to help you. He is so nice, he understands.

Professor Hogue is is quick and informative in answering questions. He's comfortable with the material and can explain difficult concepts with clarity and ease. His grading is refined and he does not nit-pick over smaIl algebraic errors. There is a difference between material difficulty and bad teaching. Professor Hogue was great.

Linear Algebra is a special kind of hell that should be reserved only for the worst of humanity. Good luck. You'll need it. Hogue might seem scary at first, but don't let him faze you. He's patient, brilliant, helpful when you proactively seek it, reasonable and fair about exams (ie exam proofs will be hw proofs) and is very passionate about math.

Math demon! IF you have 3 or more problems unfinished out of 40 problems thats a zero for the assignment. Exams are full of surprises costume made by him. You'll have exam problems he covered once but there will be 3 of them. If you must take a math course I would go to another school or wait for the next semester. Watch the W date to save GPA.

He gives great feedback as long as you go to his office hours. He is very caring and open-minded. It's a challenge for him to teach linear algebra in Dr. Socrates' way because he was not taught this way. I am glad that I can learn two different ways of seeing linear algebra because he provides his way and Dr. Socrates' way, and let us choose ours.

The effort you give in the class is the grade you're going to get! Visit his office hours if you're struggling, he is more than happy to help. He will not hesitate to breakdown an example in the lecture for you to understand. Review your exams and then go to him for help on missed problems. Always ask why if you can't understand something.

He taught me one of the most useful tools in academics, which is: Treat your class like it is your JOB. You always go to work at the time you're scheduled, any tasks at your job must be completed and with a certain degree of professionalism, you treat your boss with respect. So do the same with your professors. Recommend highly for adult students.

I took him a while ago for 131/7a and got a good grade in his class. As people mentioned his tests are very tough, and there is a lot of homework. Those people who want to learn math and transfer to good schools, please take him it's a good experience. As his former student and now as a UC Berkeley student I assure you his class is very easy.

He is a good professor who has years of experience in teaching with an additional Engineering and Science background. Recommended for STEM majors. He always welcomes to explain to your questions about homework and lectures. Extra credit for class activities. He explains his lectures in detail to help you to remember the basic fundamental of math.

He is a master in how to approach Calculus Problems. Although the lecturing for each topic takes long, he explains step-by-step in detail with sketching. All of his lectures help you a lot to understand clearly about Calculus.

He is such a gentleman who loves math. His lectures are well-structured. I learned so much from his course. YES, the tests are heavy, but the professor offers enough homework to prepare for it giving grades for each work. What I really liked about him was that he was always open to my questions! He is eager to satisfy your curiosity!

Knowledgeable & passionate about math. Expects a lot from his students but also is clear on his expectations from the beginning. A good understanding of the prerequisite math skills is a must and he expects that you are fluent in those skills. Holds many office hours to help students in need. Does not allow notes so prepare to memorize many proofs.

My only complaint is the lectures-too much time on basics-Prf. Hogue goes extra to explain very basic concepts from Pre-Cal. For that, we run out of time for further Calc details. His lecs are like for high schoolers, yet exams for senior students. Other than that, he made calculus fun and easy to understand. Go office hrs for homework as it helps.

If you are planning to take math major he is definitely the professor you want. He taught beyond the textbook and always tried to inspire you to think in a mathematic way. This is very helpful for further math studying. However this makes his classes very hard to get an A and you need to do lots of homework practice for exams. But it is worth it.

You gotta do the hw. He only uses problems from the hw. On exams label all graphs and give scales show all steps.
