He doesn't rush through the information; he delivers it in bite-sized pieces and gives you plenty of time to digest. Reviews are wonderful and set you up perfectly to take the test.

An ok teacher & gives you 2 ways to work problems, but didn't give credit for book homework (only points for mathxl) and changed how he was counting mathxl homework @ the end of the semester. If you have a choice, take Ms. Spencer; a little harder, but she doesn't mind working with you & giving credit for everything you do. She subbed for Turner.

He's an ok teacher. He's an easy grader and he does have good examples. If you answer all homework questions you get a hundred (you don't have to get them right). However, he gets his classes mixed up, he messes up on example problems and he only gave us one test back on the day he had promised to have them graded by. Kind of incompetent.

Statistics is one of those subjects where you have to have a teacher that explains things well to understand the material. Turner breaks things down step by step and is very clear. He does examples all day in class for you and his tests are just like what you do in class. I would take him for every math class if I could!

He's a cool guy. Class is structured really well. We did a lesson or two a day and a test review was assigned the day before the test. He was great with answering questions and was clear about what we needed to know for the exams. Definitely easier than I had expected, and we never covered anything that I did't already know from high school math.

I absolutely HATE math, mostly because I had never had a good teacher up until this class. I've always struggled to understand math, but he made statistics crystal clear for me. He gives so many real life examples and somehow just knows how to make things "click." He does not water anything down but it's just so much easier when he teaches it.

Best math teacher I've ever had! I had to take two developmental math classes to even enter his college algebra, getting C's in both, yet I got an A in his class. Very detailed in his lectures. Take good notes and you'll be golden. Tells you whats going to be on the tests, and reviews material beforehand if you have questions.

Cal 2 is naturally a hard class, but I wouldn't have wanted to take it with any other instructor. LOVE Mr. Turner's teaching style. Do your homework and follow his review and you should be okay. Best math teacher at any PSC campus hands down

I hated this class. I already don't like math, but Turner did not help at all. I took Buchanan for 2 math classes and would've taken him for this one but he wasn't available. I will never take Turner again for anything. Super boring, at the most you might get 2 extra credit points on a test, and he's not good at teaching.. he is kind. But that's it

I absolutely love Mr. Turner! This is the third class I have taken with him. I have a really hard time with math but he makes it easy. Be prepared to do homework it counts as quiz grade. If you show up, take notes and do your homework you will get an A. He is an easy grader if you make an attempt he will automatically give you half credit.

Mr. Turner was an awesome teacher! He made math fun and interesting. You dont need to go to every class as long as you are there for the tests, but it is in your best interest to be there for all of them. He takes the notes that he took from class and uploads them so we can review them whenever we want. He also gives extra credit which is nice.

Turner was a great professor who helped me pass algebra. You will need to work in this class. There isn't much room for extra credit besides what is on tests. Homework isn't necessary to turn in but is recommended. Lectures are long but provides very great ways of explaining math. Down to earth. Provided us with lecture notes on Canvas.

I took him for Trig and precalc during two 6 week summer classes. Got a B+ in precalc and an A in trig. He drops the lowest grade out of 4 tests, and has a cumulative final. Tests have extra credit. His quizzes are take home and given out of the book and the answers are uploaded online so there's no way to fail the quizzes. No mandatory homework.

Professor Turner was great. He puts a lot of real-life application problems into his notes, which nicely sums up the benefit of learning the material. His extra credit shows up on nearly every test, and is typically not math-based, which is a pick-me-up if you struggled in the section being tested. Very approachable for questions in & out of class!

This class was setup as a live-online course. The lectures are accessible after class on canvas along with notes. Only homework is reading the textbook. Quizzes (take-home) are chapter reviews from the textbook. Only 4 tests and your lowest test grade is removed at the end of the semester. All tests are open-book. Highly recommend Prof Turner.

If you don't pass his class, its because you didn't try. He gives partial credit on test if you show your work and it appears you know what your doing, just somewhere in the process messed up and came up with the wrong answer. He grades on 4 test and the final. The 4th test is a take home. He provides good reviews prior to test date. Great teacher.

Great instructor. Took it over the summer so the pace was much faster but the lectures were great he made sure you understood things. He is a fair grader and gives you partial credit on tests so that a plus. Great vibes from him and he is understanding. Pretty much everyone says he is amazing which he is. Would highly recommend him.

He's super chill and easy-going. He teaches the material that is needed for the course, and doesn't bombard you with extra information. The homework given is basically prep for the tests. Majority of the test are multiple choice and always have a extra credit question that's mainly just for completion.

Lectures are alright. He only gives homework out of book, so trying to balance the homework get done versus actually learning material. No study guide for tests, and he throws whatever he wants on there out of the million hw problems. Only saving grace is his tests r multiple choice. For a Calc 3 class and not like college algebra, makes it tough.

Very technology illiterate, with the lectures being done by hand in poor handwriting being projected onto a screen. Long winded, rambling lectures, often getting carried away to the point of being stuck on one problem for the entirety of the class, not covering all of the material. Notes poorly scrawled hand written and illegible. Not recommended!!
