I found this class very hard to pay attention as I was mostly focused on Dr. R's hot, nerdy, flippy do. Good thing I'm a math genius, so I could spend all my time thinking about him in various yoga poses.

I love Dr. Raridan...He is a GREAT professor. Extremely smart, helpful, and extremely clear in his teaching. I can't say enough good things about him. Mostly online homework, and if you have any problems, he really stresses his office hours. Take him, you won't regret it!!!!

One of the best math professors I've had at Clayton State. He wants everyone in class to do well. His tests really aren't that bad, but you HAVE to study your notes and work problems in preparation. If you are having trouble, see him in his office. He's extremely helpful, and always there. Definitely take his class, you won't regret it!

Dr.R was an awesome prof. He responded quickly to my emails and he truly expressed a concern when I was not doing well in his class. (very rare in a college prof) Yet with his help I was able to pull out of his class with a B. I suggest you read over the notes he writes in class. They are very helpful and are basically the test. Visit his office.

Dr. Raridan is absolutely wonderful! If he says, "I like this problem", pay attention - it will be on a test. He is more than willing to help a student during his office hours (he wants you to get it!) Take his class, pay attention, ask questions, appreciate his knowledge/ability to share - you'll learn from it. He's absolutely WONDERFUL!

Loved him! Very helpful, will go over a problem a few times if you can't get it at first. He is always available during his office hours and is always willing to help.

Very good teacher. He writes notes that you can use to review and gives you more than enough practice problems for homework in order to get it. Just pay attention and you'll be fine. :)

Dr. Raridan is extremely helpful. This guy knows his stuff, and he really shows that he cares about his students. I took him for Calculus, and he knew the math software inside out. He gave a lot of extra credit, one of our tests was a take home, and he even heavily curved one of them. Take him if you want to learn a lot, you won't be disappointed.

His verii helpful! He readii know his stuff inside out! His test are base off his notes he gives out in class! Don't need the book! Wish he was teaching Calculus!If math is a problem, His the Solution! Take Dr. Raridan! :)

Dr. Raridan is a really cool teacher. He explains everything so that anyone can understand it. Most of the work in his class can be done with the graphing program, which he explains to the tee. I missed like three summer classes and still got a B!!

Dr. R is a great professor! I read the material beforehand to get a general understanding, and when he went over it in class, things were very clear. Reading ahead and practicing problems as often as you can really helps! Dr. Raridan makes himself available to help and gives opportunities to improve your grade as long as you are willing to work!

Dr. Raridan is an excellent young professor. His lectures are stimulating intellectually and relevant. I enjoyed his class and decided to complete my mathematics degree at Clayton State University after talking with Dr. Raridan. He is a great guy!

Dr. Raridan is a great math professor, and is extremely intelligent. He is very knowledgeable about the subject he is teaching, and makes everything easy to understand in a real-world perspective. If you must take a Math class at Clayton State University, I STRONGLY recommend taking Dr. Raridan as your professor. You won't be disappointed.

EXCELLENT professor. Very intelligent. Very crystal. He teaches the way a professor need to teach. Very concern about his students. He is my BEST college math professor so far. Would recommend 100% for his class.

Really a great professor. He is willing to go the extra mile for his students! I must admit, I thought I was going to bomb this class (fail) but I ended up with a B. I do recommend that you take him!!!!

This is the best mathematics professor that I've ever had. I was extremely fortunate to have him for the class where you learn to do the various proofs. He is very clear and uses plenty of examples. Great availability and wonderful attitude. He's not a push over, but he is willing to go above and beyond to help students!

I love love LOVE Dr. Raridan! I love that he shows an enthusiasm for the subject as he teaches in class. He truly cares about his students, and he definitely made the learning experience all the worthwhile! I recommend him 100%!!

Took his class and was my last chance to take it at Clayton. He was very helpful and willing to go into further explanation about slops and graphs. Very friendly and he wants you to succeed.

Extremely knowledgeable in math. Cares about his students progress. Crystal and clear lecturing style. Neat and thorough handwriting/note giving. Provides graded materials and helpful feedbacks in a timely manner. It is a shame to see someone not succeeding in his class. THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR IN CSU HANDS-DOWN.

This is by far, the best math professor at CSU hands down. His clarity on what he is explaining or trying to teach is beyond clear, and his care for his students is genuine. And in regards to the someone who commented on how this is how ALL professors are suppose to teach, I give you thumbs up + 50000. 300% recommended to ANYone at ANY level.

He is not a hard teacher. He just moves very quickly & It is hard to be able to keep up with him sometimes. He doesn't ever really explain things in this class either. I just would rather have another teacher. I'd look down for 5 seconds then he'd written a whole paragraph. Use office hours! Come to class every day. He does give out bonus points!

Class is challenging but Dr. Raridan does give chances for extra credit from time to time and is helpful

Very good professor. He moves FAST! Records everything and uses drop box. EXTREMELY HELPFUL and CRYSTAL CLEAR!

An absolutely wonderful professor. If you have this professor, please take advantage of everything. Only some professors at CSU can record lectures and notes, which is EXTREMELY helpful for LEARNING and preparing for a quiz/test. IF every professor was like Raridand at CSU, I would guarantee myself that I would learn 10 times more.

I definitely will recommend him to my friend and could take another class with him. He teaches with clarity, shows his passion for teaching and understanding. I definitely love his good command of english while teaching mathematics. he records his class and uploads it. i wish every teacher will be doing same. I strongly recommend him.

Best math professor ever! Very clear and concise with very organized lectures. He loves math and it shows. Records his lectures so you can watch at home. Super smart guy who you can really learn calculus from. More than willing to help during office hours. Wish there were more profs like him.

I am not going to lie, he is honestly the best Math teacher I have had.

I did not think that this professor would be easy at all after the first day of class. By doing all my homework, reading the material before class, and studying very hard for test; I was able to obtain an "A" from his class. I wish he taught Calculus because I would have taken his class. I recommend this professor for anyone.

Great Professor. He is very helpful if you put in the time and effort. If not you will not get the grade you want. Stick to the course schedule and study and you will get an "A". Would recommend him to all!(P.S. This is coming from someone that dislikes math...)

Dr. Raridan is by far the best Math teacher you can take at Clayton. He's extremely thorough and makes sure his students understand. I took him during the summer, and it wasn't bad at all. Homework and quizzes are all done online with multiple attempts. His tests are easy. I made an A with minimal effort

Dr. Raridan is so handsome! I love him! He is nice, smart, nerdy, and funny. He give a lot of bonus points and sometimes he would give you take home test and quiz.

Awesome professor. Knows his stuff. To better appreciate his classes, I urge that you also do some pre-class prep.

This is a very fair professor. Don't expect to get an easy A or rewarded for late/incomplete work.

Dr. Raridan is a great professor! He does not really test to see if you know how to do a problem, he really tests you to see if you understand how to do it (if you get what I'm saying). Overall, if you come to class everyday he gives you 5 points towards your final grade. Also replaces your lowest test grade with your final if you attend everyday!!

Dr. Raridan is a very good teacher but you must be willing to work hard in his class. Use his office hours if you are struggling. He is very helpful.

Calculus 3 is a very difficult class. I gave the professor a 5 in easiness because he did everything in his power to make it as accessible a subject as he could. Lectures were recorded and available online. Homework was set up so that you could try multiple times. Grading wasn't on a curve, but was set up in your favor. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed Dr. R very much in class. He made sure you had everything you needed to succeed in his class, but you must do your part as well. This class was not a walk in the park but I did well because of all the tips and tools he offered. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I took his 1111 math class and i can say he is a very good instructor. He explains everything in deep details and does not move forward until everyone is right on track. He also gives multiple examples during class, which i find very helpful. If he taught statistics i would take his class again.

Difficult course and he expects you to know the material well by test day, he will not "give" you a good grade but if you review the material it is very possible to make an A or B. All lectures are recorded and videos and his notes are made available to you for study. He is willing to help if you schedule an appointment to see him.

BEST BEST professor hands Down. I wish he taught statistics. I would take his class again.

This class is super easy if you are good at math. All of his lectures are online. He doesn't like to stop and go over material that he feels you should already know. I got an A but I am good at math and I watched his lectures. You'll get an A if you do the work.

I thought at first I was not going to enjoy his class. Math has never been good for me- especially Pre-Calc/Trig. And this was an advanced class? No way! .. Or, so I thought. He moves very quickly through the chapters because this class covers twice the material. However, he explained it VERY well, gave great feedback, answered questions. Love him!

He's not an easy teacher, but that's what make him a great teacher. If you want an easy 'A', this is not the class for you. He will make you learn and think critically! Try not to think so much about your GPA and focus on the fact that you've learned valuable concepts to move on to higher math classes. Loved this challenging class (for me :)).

His class is not easy but if you study, do your homework, and get help when needed you won't fail. He is very forgiving and always extends the homework dates. He wants everyone to pass and really cares about his students. He explains stuff in a way that will be easy to understand and tries to make things as simple as possible.

Great teacher. He gives an opportunity to replace your lowest test grade with the final if you have no more than 3 unexcused absences. Go to his office hours in advance of the test because if not, you might not like the response.

Homework is not due weekly, but i suggest you adopt that habit so the homework doesn't become unbearable by the time you take the test when the homework is due. Get an A in the homework because it counts as a test and he gives you an opportunity to drop your lowest test grade for your final exam grade if you don't have more than 3 unexcused absence

Dr. Raridan moves fairly fast, but his class is dependent on you showing up and following along with what he writes on the board as he goes step-by-step through multiple problems through each subject. Even if you fall behind, Dr. Raridan gives you so many chances to better your grade through extended homework/quiz deadlines and dropping low grades.

If you want an easy A this is not the professor for you. Prof. Raridan is a great professor. You can tell he is good at his job. He is not an easy professor. Get ready to do the work. I had an A in his class, I have to say I worked hard for that A. If you're a math major and is serious about learning math you will not regret taking him.

Definitely takes some getting use to as far as adjusting to his class and feelings about him as a professor. He moves pretty quick through his lectures but they are very thorough and informative. You just have to be quick to catch many of them. Homework and quizzes are online and count a lot towards the end of the semester for extra points.

He is an AMAZING professor that genuinely cares about the progress his students are making. I struggled so much as math was not my strong suit and it was an 8 am class however he helped as much as he could an fortunately the grading scale enabled me to pass the class with flying colors despite not doing well on the tests. He is the best prof!!!

Professor Raridan is one of my favorite professors thus far. He gives multiple opportunities for extra credit. He goes a little too fast, but it's really helpful. If you do good on your webwork, then you'll surely make an A in the class.

Just get ready for some serious studying and do aaaaaalot of homework. If you ain't about that life, then I advise you do not take this guy.

He was pretty cool but BE PREPARED TO WORK!! He writes very fast as well, but you will get used to it. I didn't really use the book but you do use it during class (its free). This is a very fast paced class.

I took Dr. Raridan for the summer semester and loved it. His lectures are a little boring, but very thorough. He gives plenty of examples, so not knowing how to something is very unlikely. He gives a lot of homework and quizzes, but they are way harder than the test. He really wants you to pass and gives many extra chances to do so.

As a math lover, this course was everything. The professor really made it great as well because you could feel his enthusiasm for math in the air. There were opportunities to make up grades and do extra credit. There's no way to fail this class if you do the best you can. Professor Raridan gives several opportunities for all to exceed.

Dr. Raridan is fantastic. As others have said he gives his students plenty of opportunities to get a good grade and gain extra credit, but you HAVE TO put in a lot of work and show up. He cares about his students and his passion for math is evident and contagious, and inspired me to take the leap into pursuing a math major.

This is the second time Ive had him now he is a really great teacher he does care a lot & gives u plenty of chances to pass if u actually try, he also really challenges u to learn it for yourself & make sure u get it. There was a lot of bonus problems & extra credit so as long as u pay attention & ask for help u should be able to pass no problem.

Dr. Raridan is a cool dude who cares about his students. He does give out a lot of homework yes, but the questions on the homework are harder than the test so you should for sure pass. He is typically alway available in his office, quick to answer emails. He gives a bit of e.c., MAKE SURE YOU DO IT! Do the all the hw and bonus and you will pass.

Great Professor, write down everything he writes on the board and keep handouts. All of it will be on test. He is attentive and is available during office hours. Very inspiring. He writes really fast. Every class is important, if you miss class well good luck. Pay attention....

Took him for Pre-Cal. Of course it was rigorous. It has to be. You will have lots of homework and quizzes but if you really enjoy math, you will probably enjoy him. There's lots to cover/to learn so you have to go to class and pay attention. If you don't understand, ASK HIM. He WANTS you to learn. You can see his passion for math. Good challenge.

MATH 1113 is a final summation of of 1111 and 1112; it's also the same as taking both of those classes at the same time. This class just specifically prepares you for calculus. You'll really learn math with him, and he gives a hefty amount of WebWork homework... BUT he's so down to earth and will provide extensions and help. That makes him the best

I took him last year for Linear Algebra, I did not find him to be a difficult professor. Very nice and helpful when you ask for personal help during office hours. He teaches a lot better than Plaxaco when it comes MATH2140. Believe me.

A lot of homework and lectures, but he goes over every topic very well. He explains things in a way that makes the topics easy to understand and the homework helps understand every topic. I would recommend taking this professor.

Very nice guy and also very knowledgeable. There was no shortage of homework and all of it was webwork, although he sometimes gave extensions. The class was a little hard only because calculus was hard. I got an A in this class so I can't complain. Also my advice is to try to not get too behind on hw because it piles up really quickly.

Took Fall 2021. Lectures are boring but he teaches the material well. Goes through examples and will answer questions if you ask. Went to his office hrs a few times and he helped to re-explain material. Was on the verge of tears during a test but I asked him for help and he guided me to the answer. Ask for help if you need it!

He's one of the best Mathematics professors I've ever taken - he runs a tight ship (lots on knewton homework, and tough tests) - but he is super organized, a great lecturer, and extremely accessible outside of class! Cannot say enough good things about him. Just go to class, do HW, and go to office hours occasionally and you'll do fine!

He teaches fast and there is a lot of homework but tests weren't as hard as homework. He teaches well and explains things in an understandable way if a student is confused. At first, his fast-paced writing may seem overwhelming but it just takes effort to pass his class. He is understanding and gives lots of extra-credit opportunities.

Took him for precalc. If you are struggling, reach out to him. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Participate in the lectures. Tests were online lockdown browser. Study guides provided, but in my opinion were not the most helpful. The test was easier than some of the homework problems. Allows redos on questions you got wrong.

I loved his class, the way things are explained make it easy to grasp the concepts. He does give a lot of homework, but it helps out in the long run since it's extra practice and the tests are similar. He gives lots of chances for extra credit so even if you don't do the best on tests its not the end of the world.

I hated this class, I'm typically good at math but NO! The amount of homework was crazy. He teaches like you're a professor too, so fast and you just can't comprehend. Class was boring, but at least he seemed like a nice guy. I don't recommend at all. But you could pass if you really tried. Just go for the LA sessions and watch the video sessions.

Dr. Raridan is an excellent professor who is very passionate about what he teaches! He is always down to assist students at office hours or in class, and often extends deadlines and gives extra credit opportunities. Amazing professor for Math 1111. His homework is seemingly a lot on webwork but he will always assist you if you. Great professor
