He tells you exactly what to expect on his exams. Review sheets are practically the same as actual test. His packets are very useful. Rarely had any hw. Always clarifies everything before moving on. Definitely attend class, or you'll miss something. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend him even if it is an early bird class. I received an A.

Very clear expectations. He has a packet that he hands out that includes in class work as well as a small amount of HW so no need to buy the text book and the tests are identical to the packet. He definitely enjoyed teaching and was very knowledgeable and helpful. Absolutely one of the best!

Chet is the absolute best. He is the best math professor I have had thus far. He makes everything easy to understand and his execpetations are clear from the start. Complete his packets, study the study sheet for exams, do the homework( which is not a lot) and you should get an A.

He gives out hand outs that guide you through the entire class. Very easy to follow along. Don't miss class though. He's a very happy fella. He sings and all.I love this guy. Takes you through the material slow and easy. If I payed attention instead of rating him on this website during class, I would get and A

Chet Advani is THE best math teacher I have ever had! If you just do the homework and LISTEN in class you'll get an A or B. I'm not that great at math and he helped the class understand new ways of learning and actually made it fun. This was also an 830am class. Easy A or B just show up and do the homework.

I think that MAT 117 was one of the best classes I've ever taken. The professor explained everything very clearly. If you attend and listen to him, you will be able to do your homework even without reviewing the material. It is not a difficult class if you keep up with the new topics and are motivated to study. I recommend you to take MAT 117.
