He goes out of his way to help

His course can be very overwhelming, but he is very helpful and will always go out of his way to help clarify anything that you do not understand.

He'll make you learn by being consistent with collecting homework; but his tests are fair and his teaching is very direct. I would definitley recommend him if you want to learn statistics.

Strinden is one of the best teachers out there. His lectures are very clear. You will not have a hard time grasping the concept of what you do with those what he calls "Magical formulas". He explains everything, even the history of where they

Mr. Strinden is an excellent math professor. He uses many examples to support his lectures and offers help for his exams. I found him easy to understand and I learned a lot from him.

emotional but great instructor... trust me, wait until u get into university, u will miss all the great instructor like him back in pcc.

energetic teaching but the tests are hard even when you do the homework.

Very energetic man!! He is passionate in what he does. His lectures are full of animation, never a dull moment in his class.

Strinden is a great teacher and very sweet. He gives homework everyday so just don't fall behind. The tests are not too hard and not too easy. I recommend him. Just make sure you turn your phone off in class and don't fall asleep. It's his pet peeve.

If you want to learn what is Stat and get a good great, I strongly recommend. Just study as usual and do your home work and review, you are sure to get A. Don't forget, you won't get easy A without studying.

One of the best teachers. Very clearly lecture. U never feel bored in his class. Pretty loud voice. He can really teach u Statictics. You'll clearly know what is gonna happen in the class, and what you'll learn. Two Thumbs Up, His short-term class is easy

great teacher! do your homework, arrive on time, and read and you will get at least a B. drops lowest test grade and lets you use a notecard with your own notes for each test.

charismatic.....i love him! he is the most sincere teacher i have ever met. he definitely loves his occupation and it shows and, i think, rubs off on his students as well. the tests arent exactly easy but theyre do-able. he gives ec,i recommend him,totall

nice teacher, but he messed up on lacture notes sometimes. his test is pretty hard.

Great instructor. He's very attentive to how well the students are understanding lecture. Tests tended to be difficult--somehow I still got a B in the class. He's very good at explaining things that the text doesn't explain very well.

The Greatest teacher I have ever had. He is so energetic its like having a double espreso every class hour. Take this guy. You will learn tons. Make sure you do all your homework. He will get you if you do not.

Very Enthusiastic! Good teacher. Knows how to use class time wisely. You will learn Statistics.

STRINDEN IS THE MAN!!!

really cares about his students, and his excitement for math will almost have you convinced that statistics is cool

A very good professor who has a lot of energy despite his sickness. I hope he will be well and safe. Good luck to him! May god bless him! ^_^

he is the best stat teacher! if you just pay attention in class and do your homework you should do just fine in his class.

I took Faccuseh for Stat at first but I stunk it up and failed it...so I didn't really have high hopes for stat but when I took Strinden he made this subject so easy to learn....best stats teacher ever!

He is the best stat teacher in pcc!!! He made stat so interesting to study and so easy to understand. his tests are not hard if you do his review test. Wonderful class!

he is so funny whenever he makes jokes. the most important thing is you have to Shut your mouth up when he is teaching. he angries whenever you talk with each other

He is a good guy. Always trying to help others and has funny stories but his tests are very hard and expects the best out of everyone.

Mr. Strinden is THE man, THE MATH GOD. Crazy, fun-loving professor. Very passionate and energetic and very clear on his lectures. Great examples. I do agree that his grading standard is a bit too strict, too harsh. Besides that, I enjoy his class a lot.

come to EVERY class, do ALL homework, he lets you use a note card on the tests, so prepare, and DONT FALL BEHIND! i HATE math, but STRINDEN's class was actually awesome. good guy and good instructor!

Mr.Strinden is the best.He is fair and helpful.He wants everyone to pass, and he tries his best to explain anything anyone doesn't understand. I hate the subject, but he was cool.

This class was almost insanely difficult, and I wound up with a D on the final. However, I've gotten straight A's in the previous classes...something of a disconnect here! He's very friendly, and tries very hard to help every student who needs it. However, he's fastpaced, a little unclear.

The best math teacher around the area. Take him if you want to learn something. Without him, I'd probably never understand precal.

Comical, intelligent teacher who knows what he's talking about. Difficult tests, but if you study the material you'll be fine. Great lectures. Students can tell he really loves teaching and wants his students to learn & understand the subject. Very patient & helpful.

Mr Strinden is a very great teacher. His exam is really hard but his lecturer is easy. Sometimes his exam can be easy. He always make me want to go to class because he is really funny. Always make joke.

He has a loud clear voice when he lectures, and sometimes he gets very worked-up when explaining something he finds interesting. Has an abrasive side to his personality, though. Sometimes he'll have you do boardwork and make fun of you if you don't know what you're talking about. Tests are straightforward, but not always easy. Fair grader.

If you want to learn something, then this is the right professor for you.

Hands down professor Strinden is the most outstanding guy. Statistics is not an easy subject plus Strinden makes the subject a lot more difficult, I earned my 'A'. If you're looking to gain confidence in your study habits take Strinden, he will over prepare you for University level education.

This teacher rocks..he can explain every detail in stat,I was confused bcs he teach's da formula from scratch & expln it until u get it, I ono y? I think he said "I want u guys to understand where da formula comes from" test's average,tricky & picky but overall I got an A in da class. He's rich too he'll buy 4 packs of M&Ms just for experment

Very encouraging and has a lot of energy in the class that keeps you awake and going. Always willing to help and answer questions.

No Comments

I've never enjoyed a math class before in my life, but I actually liked and looked forward to his class. He'll help you until you understand the material. I got an A...only because I worked hard for it.

This is one of the greatest professors I have had a PCC. He is very understanding and enthusiastic about all subjects; Great personality and Wonderful Man. He's a very professional porfessor with a lot to offer students. :D

He teaches really well, good explanations, but make sure you dont miss class because he wants you to do HIS WAY in the tests and EXAMS, although you get the right answer, if you dont do it his way, you will get it wrong.. But if you do his homework then you will do well on his test.

I like the way he teaches stat. All of his explanations are clear and very well understood. Take him if you can. Very easy to get a "B" work a bit harder and you'll get your "A".

GREAT PROFESSOR! doesn't leave people behind... questions encouraged...drops your lowest test grade... gives out prep sheets before test...lets you use book on first test.. lets you use a 3x5 index card for tests... very energetic lecturer so you wont get bored...he might play favorites.. i dont even like math, and i got an A...

Extremely energetic. Lectures are never boring and he gave us a half hour break every lecture. The tests are very hard though.

Statistics is a hard class period but MR.Striden makes it interesting especially with the experiments. He is very caring and he doesnt want to leave anyone behind. Just study and dont take this class with another hard class.

Mr Strinden is a nice guy and always willing to help. He allows a 3x5 card during tests and drops lowest score. This is not an easy class, you will really need to study to get the grades. Also be ready to buy a $100 calculator (ti83)

Very hard class, but he was nice and helpful. He is kind of mean sometimes and very stricted with his loud voice wich wakes you up. I barely past his class with a C, but overall he is ok. You have to show lots of effort for this class, study and study...

Not easy but I liked this teacher overall-- he's funny imo. He covers a lot of material, a lot for the 1st stat class, but thorough and helpful. You get a lot of homework, tests are pretty tricky, final is cumulative but not so tricky. If you study and understand stats, the final is cake. Cheat Sheets, except on the first test, are helpful.

Hard class. Do the hw and pay attention. Show up for class. I still recommend him. Highly energetic. You will learn stats. Ti83/84 highly useful. I went 3/4 without one but the Ti will cut your hw time in half.

Statistics is going to be hard no matter who teaches it, but Strinden is easily one of the most helpful and best Stat profs at PCC. He's very energetic and keeps your attention. He elaborates on things if you don't understand. This is a really tough class; expect late coffee-shop study sessions every week... that's what I did for a B.

i transferred to his class during the term: I made a great choice! He's knowledgable and enthusiastic about math, kinda a must-take teacher for a math major like me. Tests are not hard, but if you're willing to have deep understanding in math, take him! Math department has him and dr.socrates as the two best instructors.

EXCELLENT TEACHER PASSIONATE ABOUT HAVING STUDENTS INTERESTED AND FOCUSED. VERY GOOD TEACHING SKILLS MAKES YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW U GET THE ANSWER INSTEAD OF WHAT IS THE ANSWER ENJOYED HIS CLASS.

This is one of the rare professors that actually cares about how his students do, and if they understand or not. He is very helpful if you attend his office hour, and will go above and beyond for you if you give him reason to. This was my first class, my first semester back to school and I could not have asked for a more amazing instructor!

It's going to be hard. Read the book, look at the examples from the book. Tests are similar to the examples from the text. He is an awesome teacher, can't ask for better.

He is an very excellent. I like this class so much. His tests are super easy. Easy easy A!!!

AMAZING TEACHER very passionate about statistics and his fun attitude makes you want to learn.To pass you have to study on a daily basis and do the homework,Strinden is very clear on explanations so pay attention. Unfortunately I had to drop, it was a workload in addition to my other classes but I still love Strinden. Take him if you want to learn!

he is easy,but i don't like his teaching style very much.he focuses on how to derive the therem,but i want to know how to use it in tests.so u need to read book,but his tests are from book

VERY NICE TEACHER!!HE IS REALLY HELPFUL AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING CLEARLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

I took Math 5A and 5B 7yrs ago and thought I would've a difficult time for 5C; indeed, my 1st test was only 70+. However, I found out the way to improve after the first test. I not only complete his assigned homework but also attempt many extra questions; plus I paid attention to all example questions in the textbook. At the end, I aced all 2nd, 3r

---cont'd: 4th test and his final became very easy. I got an easy A at the end. My recommendation to you is: do the home work; know very well about examples given in the textbook. You will get an easy A. However, if your major is math or phys or engineering, you better to understand his class notes even though they are not useful for the tests. :)

he is the best teacher I have ever meet. I learned a lot of stuff from him. And he is very helpful to the acedemic. I recommend everyone to take his class.

Mr. Strinden is an extraordinary teacher!!! He can explain the FUNDAMENTALS deep down about Calculus! I know Math 5C is not easy, but Mr. Strinden can explain Multivariable Calculus thoroughly, even with visualization. Because of his enthusiastic teaching and my hard work, I just need 66% on the final to get an A!!!!!

Great teacher who can teach fundamental understandings for Calculus. if you are more of a formula plug-in person and only want to do the problems, he might not be the choice. But if you are engineering or math,he'll be a great benefit for your career. Because his goal to make you understand the concepts deep,not to solve problems for u on the board

Strinden is, hands down, the best teacher I have had at PCC. His enthusiasm and passion for the subject, his students, and his work are clear in the classroom. I could not have asked for a better teacher. However, this class is definitely not an easy A unless you work for it, but the hard work pays off. Gave me a hug at the end of the semester! :)

Mr. Strinden is GREAT! Stats isn't an easy class but Mr. Striden does an excellent job of making the subject understandable. There are five exams (he drops the lowest exam), one final (which is 25% of he final grade) and tons of homework (only to help you understand the material). Take him and get a TI-83 and most importantly STUDY, STUDY, STUDY

I deeply admire Mr.Striden! He is the best for math 5C :) tests are okay but lots of hws,very passionate about math.I am glad I had him in my career because he inspired me to want to really understand the fundamentals in math.Those of you out there,Engineering,math or sci ppls who have to take up to 55, yo're RLY MISSING OUT if you dont take his5C!

Very easy going guy, listens to your needs etc. Definitely a challenging class. He puts you into groups and allows the first 30 minutes of class to go over hw among your group members. He doesn't really go over hw q's which sucks.Tests are pretty hard, even if you study. Gives a lot of hw. Homeworks are due on tests days.

Mr.striden is down-to-earth prof. he'll explain everything in details. People say he's hard but if you do your hws legitimately, i dont see any reason why you shouldn't do well on his tests.If you seriously want to learn and get a well-deserved A, take him. if u want easy A, then take Riley or Weydahl

simply the best :)

He's perhaps one of the most reputable professors in the math division. He makes the concepts very understandable and makes class interesting in comparison to the other stat classes that i tried to add, which were BORING AS HELL! Although i didn't successfully add his class, the first 2 days i was in his 3 hour class showed me how passionate he was

I'd recommend Striden for any math you take at pcc.I wish I knew him earlier and he teaches every single calculus level 5a, 5b, and 5c.He joked in class that it has been years that he's teaching 5c but he never gets bored with it because he said he feels like he is on his first date whenever he teaches 5c. 100% recommended for serious learners

Prof. Strinden is an excellent teacher. I'd recommend this class for anyone who is going to take upper division stats. There are probably easier profs at PCC, but I'm glad I was worked hard to get my grade--because now I'm taking an upper division stats class (transfer) and everything I learned was worth the effort. I even refer to my old notes!

the BEST professor I've ever had!! He explains thoroughly, and he is very passionate about the stuff he math. He understands what he teaches very well. Take him!

Fantastic teacher! Very energetic! One of the few instructors that actually cares and connects with his students. He even offered us a Christmas dinner with his family if we had nowhere else to go. All around good guy. His class is challenging but he is a fair grader and he drops the lowest test. Take him if you are serious about Math. :)

Material for Math 5c is hard,but he did a great job to explained as clear as possible.4 exams,drops the lowest score.This is not a class for fun, so pls leave if u r not serious.In my opinion,if u take 5c, u must major in sth require high level of math.Recommended for serious learners,not those who want to joke around and get easy As

I thought STATS was gonna be the death of me! But Strinden is an amazing Prof. He's fun, loud, and energetic. The class is not an easy A but if you like to learn this is the guy for you! And by the end of the semester STATS was fun and now i miss it! Good Luck!

I saw all the positive comments on him. What i saw was almost half dropped after the 3rd test. and i saw many others failed the 3rd test also. I did all the HW, spent a lot of time, i dont know why i just dont get it on the test. He doesnt need book. How did you guys feel so easy? Am I the only dumb one? Please tell me that im wrong, PLEASE!

Math and I not great friends...This professor actually made me WANT to come to class and get it down! He has some pretty crazy stories to tell which keeps you entertained. Homework is a must, extremely fair work hard! If you get a bad grade you deserve it, he grades often on how hard you try in class and on homework BEST TEACHER AWARD in my opinion

Mr. Striden is awesome!! i've taken his class twice. he gives a lot of hw. occasionally gives pop quizzes. Is tough but understanding. He gives out a study guide before the test which are really helpful test are almost identical. Hes funny has awesome stories and really cares about his students take his class!!

Took him twice n it's a challenging class but its fun. He teaches from his mind n not straight out of the textbook because he likes to see our reactions n to see if we understand! His tests are hard but overall everything his really cool!!

Strinden teaches theory, so be ready to do a lot of learning on your own. If you love math and can't get enough of it then Strinden will be a good choice. He will really challenge you and he's a great guy. If you often struggle in math, then look elsewhere because you will be overwhelmed.

He's a very likeable guy, and he always keeps his class interested in the material, while occasionally telling us about parts of his life. He does give out a lot of homework, but as long as you can stay on top if won't be a big issue. Study guides are helpful, they match the tests, and he drops your lowest score. Very interesting professor!

First math class in PCC! I got a B because I never did the homework. I guess it's not high school anymore... homework was about 10 to 15% by the way. He's not the type to just do the homework problem. You can tell he's really interested in math when he starts talking about the interesting history behind it all. I kind of regret dozing off...

Great professor, extremely helpful, very interesting, and definitely understands what he's talking about. If you have a question, he will answer it in complete clarity. He's been through a lot, so don't expect him to tolerate any excuses not related to an emergency. Complete the homework on time, and you will pass with an B or higher.

Unbelievable hard. He only talks theory during classes, and then give the most difficult questions which are harder than questions in book. Avoid him, or he will ruin your GPA

This class is very hard, in fact, even if you think you've studied enough for the test, you'd probably end up with a B or less. However, Strinden does display a passion for math in his class and makes learning Calculus very interesting. He also gives you a review to do a few days in advance for the test, but don't make the mistake of relying on it.

He's very energetic, passionate, and cares about his students. Because of him I'm the only person I know who likes stats! I still remember some concepts even 1 year later. Tests are not impossibly difficult, but not easy either, so this is a work-for-your grade class. I got an A and I earned it!

A must for math majors. Very theoretical when it comes to teaching. You'll be teaching yourself how to do problems from the book. It isn't difficult, but may be quite different than what most students are used too. Very helpful answering questions in class, and in his office hours. Passion for teaching. his tests are simple but can have curve balls

It's unfortunate that I see a lot of bad comments when truly he is an amazing man and teacher! He cares about his students so much, constantly taking his own time to help others, including myself. He is also very passionate in math and teaches it well. AMAZING!

This is the best math teacher I have ever had! I love him! He honestly made me love math! I wish I could take him for all my math classes. He is very clear and whenever you don't understand him he does everything possible to make it easy to understand. Amazing sense of humor. Very easy to get along with and he is very relatable. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!

Must study like its your life. Not easy by any means. I'm really bad at math and he teaches like the students know what they're doing. He makes a super fun class though, one of the funnest.

I took Prof. Strinden awhile back and I still credit him as being one of the best math teachers I've ever had. Math is HARD for A LOT of people. What I loved about his style was that he always broke down the formulas rather than just throwing them at us. YOUR JOB: You have to know how to study productively, pay attention, and always ask questions!!

Math is hard. There's no way to get around that, but he's a great teacher. He does a really good job of breaking things down and explaining why they are that way. He is stern if you don't play by his rules, but if you do he's really nice. He will answer any questions you have and will work with you. There's a lot of homework but it really helps you

Great professor and hilarious if you take his morning lectures. he really cares about his students and really wants them to succeed. we used the book sometimes but he does things in his way which personally i liked his way better than learning from the book. use his study guides they are almost exactly like the exams

Strinden is a good professor. He encourage students to ask questions every time he introduces something new and I guess that's what some of the bad reviews didn't do. There is a lot of homework and it requires time and effort (if you have a job beware) but is similar to the test. Overall, he helped me to understand concepts others couldn't.

He's the best. Enough said.

By far the best professor Ive ever had. Wants nothing but the best for his student and will do everything in his power to make sure you pass the class. If you fail then that is all on you. Need more professors like him

Amazing lectures ! He really breaks it down for you. Doesn't judge anyones math abilities. No question is a dumb question in his class and he really makes you feel that way. Has a small temper. Gives ton of homework but is only 5% of your grade. For someone who is not good at math he has been the first math teacher I've ever had that I finally get

This professor is a really great guy. He is very passionate about what he does and really cares about his students. You really have to be on your stuff for his class. He does his best to make the class interesting telling stories that relate to the material.

AMAZING! Professor Strinden truly cares about his students. You also need to give respect to get it from him as well. He breaks things down so that anyone can understand and never makes you feel incompetent when you have questions or need help. He also provides extended office hours beyond the math departments required time!

I highly recommend Strinden if you want to learn something beyond stats! He teaches you about life concepts, stat included & not. This man has been through a lot and if you genuinely try, he will work with you to help you pass. Seriously just do what he says and you'll be good. Doesn't grade hw but highly encouraged. Tests are everything.

Honestly if you try you wont fail! Hes like the best teacher EVERRRR he might be kind of hard at times but trust hes the best hands down!!! If you dont give up he wont give up on you! Trust hes going to do his best to help you just like how he helped me and I suck at math like I really really suck at math, I hate math. But not with him:)

This is my first year and Strinden is a great teacher. He explains everything down to the decimal and tells stories either related to the criteria or just for fun to be more engaged with the class. He's extremely helpful, kind, and funny. No teacher has ever leant me their own personal equipment just to help me succeed. Hope I get him again. :)

Mr. Strinden made math so much more understandable for me, and my weakest subject in school is math. He helped to develop skills I couldnt grasp in high school, and Ill even go as far to say that hes helped me (minutely) love math.

Hes such a great professor. He does an incredible job of explaining the theory behind all the concepts convered in class. I understand everything on a deeper level than I had in any other math class. On top of that he gives study guides, extra credit, and does test corrections. A very fair and excellent professor.

Started the year ready to put in a lot of effort but this class is way too hard. For homework you get all 7-10 sections every chapter. The tests are unclear on instructions and even though theres only 10-15 questions, it takes the full 2 hours. Seems easy to follow along until you try to do it yourself and realize it doesn't actually make sense.

He cares about his students and is a great motivator. He is very organized when it comes to lectures and homework. Must attend class. He provides the text book online for free but has you purchase an algebra book of your choice. He allows you to make up a portion of the test if you correct your mistakes. Never been good at math until this class :)
