I took both his 095 and 098 and passed but I do not feel confident in what I learned. He never goes over the tests or quizzes so you don't know what you are struggling in.

He gives you what you give him. If you care and participate he will do everything he can to get you that good grade. He also makes sure you learn the material for real life and not just to pass the test. I have one math class left to take and i am waiting till the spring because he does not teach it in the fall.

I don't know why all of his ratings are so high. I mean if you like not knowing your grade until the last day of the semester, he is the perfect teacher for you. He doesn't grade anything, and talks about tea the entire period. You learn nothing before the test and his notes are minimal. Yeah he's chill but he does nothing.

you don't find out your grade until the end of the semester and gives no feedback on how you're doing in the class overall. the lectures are fine. the tests are somewhat hard but tests and quizzes are 80% of your grade, so if you miss or fail one your grade will drop heavily. no retakes are allowed until the end of the semester.

Although he could be considered a laid back professor, he never updates grades throughout the semester you won't know your final grade until the end of the semester after he has already closed out the course on Canvas. Which makes it impossible to understand how he determined your final grade.
