excellent teacher, very fun in class, but can have a bit of a temper!?
He is a kewl teacher. In my class he bought everybody icecream and it came with a free bowl!!
he is a really good teacher, just don't try telling him how to do something 'cause it annoys him a little. but i strongly reccomend him!
His whole physical appearance reminds me of a hi school teacher from the eighties, & he likes to joke and sing in class (on request). Highly recommended! Will dance for quarters (j/k).
Good teaching style. Very clear. Tests tend to reflect lecture. Nice instructor. Please teach PRE CAL!
mr bigham is a great professor. i would reccomend him to anyone. very helpful and is availible if extra help is needed. i dont think he has a temper at all, i think he just gets annoyed with people who think they know it all!!
Bigham is a real unique teacher. This man is realy smart. You cant tell if you see him at your local "Save Mart" or "Food4Less" buying every cookie in the store. But he is a Giants fan.
My Bigham is an awesome math teacher. He has a very deep voice that keeps you awake. He combines his teaching with world stories and he is really really smart. If you want to learn math well, then TAKE THIS TEACHER!!
One of the best teachers I've ever had! Highly Recommended!!! Get on his good side. Buy him a YO-YO. He loves and collects them!
Very clear explanations of material. Has a test on every chapter so you don't have to organize and remember huge amounts of material. Tests very straightforward, pretty much what you went over in class. Not too receptive to questions during class - can be a bit abrupt.

Very fun class. Would reccomend this class to someone not knowing much about trigonometry. You will learn a lot.
wouldnt let you fall asleep in the class :)and i actually learned some math
He is a funny teacher, cool sense of humor. The class goes by fast. I like his teaching methods. He goes over homework each class session. Lets you use notes for tests. Very cool.
He is truely what all math teachers should strive to be. I wish he was my father.
Halarious teacher, knows his stuff is very helpfull and would highly recomend him
He was funny and entertaining which helps you pay attention. "Hi kids, its me, your math friend Mr. Bigham, ready for another day of fun and math." How could you not love that?!
Mr.Bigham is a great teacher. He takes time to make sure everyone understands the work. Homework is optional, but it helps your grade so why not? You can use calculators on the test which makes it go faster, and you can take your time on tests. I wish he would teach math 103. I would definately take him again!!!
i am assistant teacher and hes a really good teacher
Ahah good teacher. He loves math and he loves teaching so it is an excellent combo. Me and my amigo have annoyed him a couple of times in class but he still dosen't hate us! =D Good sense of humor and his lectures aren't boring.
Mr Bigham is a very good teacher. make sure you come to class and you will do well. i wish i took Mr. B before my last semester at city. gives cookies on the last day of class. i think i still hear him saying: ok kids did we have any homework today.....lol. Thanks for the good times Mr. B.
HE IS VERY NICE TRIES TO BE FUNNY. BUT I THINK EASY. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND ASK FOR HELP.TAKE HIM.
Very funny guy and makes a 2 hr class go by so fast. Good sense of humor. Explains everything very well.
Avoid him if possible. Very anal and will get mad at student if they don't understand how he explains things. I got an A, but he wastes times joking in class and does not explain things very well. And yes, he does give cookies.
He's very rude, and he's very egostistical, always brag about being a genius. Hey! I have an idea, why not take it up with the math professors who also know their material, why with the students? I know more than my little sister too!
Great teacher. He knows his stuff and makes the harder things easy to remember with songs and comments about pop culture that link it all 2gethR. He is smart and funny and leaves all his personal baggage at the door. He always greets you and loves to tease you. He always reviews before a test. Doesn't like too much talking but a little is okay.GR8
Great at explaining the algebra as he goes.
Bigham's a great teacher. His class reminds me of all the great classes I had in high school. Yes, if you enjoy a fun guy even though he can treat his students like kids sometimes. You will definitely learn some math in his class. TAKE HIS CLASS!
He teaches from the book, step by step.
5A is a hard class regardless the teacher. clear and helpful, teaches directly from the book.
Mr.Bigham is a great teacher! He explains problems really great! I think he's the best math teacher on Campus for Trigonometry. Although when you ask him complex questions he does have a tendency to belittle them if he can't understand it at first.
He was one of the BEST teachers I have ever had. Trig is a diffcult course and he made it seem very simple. He reviews what will be on the tests,allows you to use notes and the calculator;what more could you ask for.Oh yeah did I mention he makes cookies on the last day of class!They were GREAT.If you wanna laugh take this class you wont regret it!
VERY VERY VERY DIFFICULT. DON'T LET YOU USE NOTES AND TEST IS EVERY TWO WEEK. NOT ENOUGH TIME TO STUDY AND GRADE HARD.
one of a kind professor cares about the students. He is very helpfull, take the time to show you how a problem is done. HE EVEN TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE TEST. i passed with an easy A-.
First of all he doesn't give a study guide nor review before an exam! Sucks because exams are every 2 weeks. Hw is sometimes difficult. He lets you use a page of notes but only on certain chapter test (8 total test) no multiple choice.
EVERY 2 WEEK IS A TEST. TESTS WORTH ABOUT 100 POINTS AND HOMEWORK IS 3 POINTS ONLY. DON'T TAKE HIM IF YOU'R NOT GOOD IN MATH OR NOT GOOD IN TRIG. I TRY MY BEST, CAME TO CLASS THE WHOLE SEMESTER, ASK FOR HELP, DID MY HOMEWORK, AND STILL FAIL WITH A D. HE GETS ANGRY WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS TEACHING. BAD
This teacher is AWESOME. All the people that have written bad reviews probably have a learning disability. This guy loves to teach and it shows. His classes are easy to understand and if you go every time you will understand the concepts. He does a FULL QUESTION BY QUESTION review for the final and he BRINGS COOKIES!! Awesome teacher!!
Bigham is one of the greatest math teachers. He has funny jokes and stories related to what he is teaching and is really good at teaching the subject. He drops your lowest test score, only one. I would definately recommend him.Goes over the homework everyday and practically does it on the board. Study notes and youll A's test.Grades mainly on test
Mr. Bigham is a good teacher to take. Test every other week but he tells us what is going to be on the test and if you do your homework you should do fine. He makes Trig fun to learn. Hope you take his class.
This teacher makes class fun. He will joke about the problems and wont put you to sleep.He explains very well and if you attend class everyday and do the hw you will most likely pass.
all his test are 100 and hw 3 ponits and not extra credit he teaches too fast and get off topic very easliy dont take him
Best math teacher ive ever had. goes over homework everday and review exactly what u need to know for exams. very fun and helpfull. 10 out of 10!
One of the easiest teacher you would ever find for Math. He makes the class fun and easy. Also, the tests are exactly from the notes and don't worry he explains it carefully. He even tells you what is going to be on the test, too! One more thing, he bakes cookies at the end so make sure you are there.
He is easy but hate the way he grades the test. He takes like 3-4pts off your test when you have the wrong decimal point in place. I guess you learn not to make mistakes like it again, though i and most of the students in my class usually make stupid mistakes so we dont like the way he grades. he get off topic easily which makes him boring-annoying
Good teacher, fun and easy going. Always jokes around and makes lecture go by fast. One of the best math teachers I've ever had.
Tests are easy if you do all of the homework and show up for class. He likes to joke around which really takes a lot of the pressure off. Overall, great professor.
Mr. Bigham is a great teacher, he has a unique teaching method. Show up to class, take notes, and do your homework. What is more to it? If you put the time and effort into it, you will do outstanding. He's a nice guy, take him for trigonometry.
he's great at teaching, i mean it, he actually have teaching skills unlike other teacheres. i took trig in high school so it was easy for me, but then i just hate dealing with the sigficant figures on the tests, which is sometimes confusing. but overall, it's an easy class. his jokes kind of helps you memorize the steps or certain things for tests
Very good teacher!! Very funny guy and teaches very well. Just go to class, take notes and you'll do great on exams. Highly recommended.
Bingham was amazing! He was always there to help and as long as you attended and took notes then the quizzes were easy. Does extra credit for every homework assignment and drops your lowest quiz score. He gave us cookies the week before finals. Finals are open note and he gives you a study guide and goes over every question. Amazing teacher
Very good teacher, awesome sense of humor. You not doing well in this class is not because of the teacher! Super laid back! Also- He is always covered in chalk dust. You'll see! He made trig fun and simple!
One of the best math teachers I've had. Makes you look forward to attending class. Very funny and great sense of humor. He's one of those teachers you'll miss at the end of the semester. Sadly, he doesn't teach 4B. Test after every chapter and cumulative final. Cares for and appreciates hist students, something not all professors show.
One of the best math professor at fcc. Very easy class and the final study guide is almost exactly as the final.
tries to be funny but you can't help it because it's so lame. the class is so and so, half the time i got A's on the quiz then other times so & so. Just do homework & look over notes & it will be all good. overall a good class
He's a really happy guy. You better be able to take a joke cause he does that. Very helpful. I wish he would stop people from coming in late though. It was really distracting but he didn't mind. Was my only complaint about his class.
If you looking for a teacher that is willing to help and teach. Its not him, but he is a cool/relax teacher! Don't take his class if you don't already know how to do the math!!
Bigham is a very smart and always cheerful guy. He is very merry and welcoming. There is written homework assigned for every section gone over and there are 5 exams. Always kept class interesting. You need to know your ALGEBRA to do well in the class such as: factoring, expanding, exponents, basic trig/sin/cos graphs; rest is calc but 90% algebra.
Math the only thing that is the same in every language. This class is easy if you show up to class, pay attention, and due the work!!! (Comencence Right?!) May get by missing class and being late IF you do the work on your own time. I did :), but I am an exception. Helpful and entertaining mostly cheesy but kept me awake when I showed up to class.
He's extremely easy. As long as you show up to class then you will for sure get A
He is not easy. If u don't understand he will not repeat more then once. He asks what problems we need help but won't do them all cause that same problem was done in class. All of his test are hand written. The notes are based on the book. There is a test each week or two. There is no study guide. Don't take his class unless u want to fail.
He is a fun and cool teacher, but when it comes to the tests, they're hard. He is really picky about how you do the problems. If you skip even the smallest step, he deducts points. I wouldn't recommend this class...
Best math teacher ever. Explains things in a manner that makes sense to someone who isn't typically good at math. A test for every chapter, he drops the lowest score, homework is straightforward and from the book(much much better than online homework). Also his deadlines for homework never change and so no confusion. Always answers questions.
super easy. takes the questions for his test straight out of the book. really funny but also super boring. he picks the even questions or the end of the chapter tests for his tests.
It will be an easy class if you show up to class and do your homework. The test are reasonable and HE IS NOT BORING AT ALL. Sure the subject can be dry sometimes but he makes it fun. Also, he gives cookies...
Hes been teaching math for a long time and knows how to teach. He is very intelligent and makes class time fun (hes always joking around but its actually funny..) I highly recommend him!
He really does as much as he possibly can for you to receive an good grade and 'hopefully' learn a little something about statistics, too. He loves to make random, silly jokes and faces during class to lighten the mood a bit. Statistics is pretty dry for most but he makes as bearable as possible. Recommended! (just don't expect perfection).
This is one of those mixed bag math classes, but he does his best to transition smoothly between concepts. The regular chapter quizzes are also helpful to section off the material. Overall, great teacher and the humor is a plus.
This class is awesome. I hate math and he had made it pretty awesome. Although I had a low grade I passed the class and I'm proud of it, big thanks to Mr. Bigham!
One of the best teachers on campus, He is NOT boring, actually far from it. He is picky on his tests, but it's all for good reason! Highly recommend. He may skip problems, but he will take time during his office hours and will go over any question you may have, no matter how easy!!
Such a fun class! Mr. Bigham is a great teacher. He makes the material easy to learn. He puts all of the formulas used on the board before the test so you don't have to memorize all of them. Awesome class!
Bigham was a great teacher this semester. He made calculus a little more interesting by cracking jokes and telling a few stories here and there. He's super nice and willing to help if you ask. He doesn't do online homework and does problems out of the book. Overall, great guy and cool class.
Dude is super funny and that keeps lectures fun and entertaining, have homework everyday but he does go over questions on homework at the beginning of class, if you study your notes and homework you will pass the test because it's the same thing, you do however have to attend class everyday because one day you miss a lot of material.
Mr Bigham is a good teacher for those who can learn quickly. If you need help understanding math, step by step this is definitely not the class for you. He wastes a lot of class time on irrelevant stories and it can get frustrating considering that he could use that time to teach more elaborately.
I am not good at Math but loved this class. Make sure you show up and you need a textbook. Take good notes!!! It is a must! Great teacher! One of the best math teachers you will ever have.
Helpful man with good sense of humor. Clear lectures, but make sure to study lots b/c tests come quickly. Make sure to show all steps for the test problems for full credit (not hard). Book homework every day but sometimes collected on test day. He lets you use formulas on the 8 chapter exams. Allows all notes on the comprehensive final. It was fun.
Mr Bigam is a great teacher. He is very clear about explaining concepts but sometimes makes arithmetic errors. He laughs when we corrected him on these little errors. He is very good at explaining the big picture stuff and grades on that same criteria. Not like some who nit pick little errors. He answers all questions asked of him!
I loved Mr. Bigham's class. He's an amazing teacher and I wish he was teaching 4B. His class was always so chill but do not miss otherwise it is hard to catch up and he gives study guides for all of his tests. Our final was a breeze because it was open note but take advantage. As long as you study and keep up with the homework (easy), you'll pass!
Mr. Bigham is an above average teacher, but not fantastic. He usually helps students but is sometimes rude and unhelpful. He's funny and it was a fairly easy class, but I would not take one of his classes again.
Mr. Bigham is a great teacher!! He is funny and makes a 2 hour class period very bearable. A nice guy who is really there because he wants to help students learn, I haven't needed much help throughout the course because he's made it pretty clear, but I know if I asked he'd be glad to help.
Mr. Bigham is a great professor. I would highly suggest him to anyone who is not majoring in math. I hate math. However, I took his Math 45 class, and actually enjoyed it. He loves storytelling (interesting stories) and brings cookies! The format of the class goes per chapter: two day lectures per, quiz on third day. Homework by chapter.
Mr. Bigham is accessible outside of the class, and is generally fair and good-natured about helping you with questions. In class: If you do the 10 pt weekly homework, and the 5pt weekly extra credit, you have a major leg up on the exams. I am not a math major, I was able to get a B in the class with weekly dedication. Prepare for dad-jokes.
Funny guy and really knows how to make you learn his tricks with his stories that come along with each chapter. He gives you most formulas for the test and I have to input that he bring home baked cookies for finals week. I ended the semester with a B with not much effort, just did homework and showed up to class. oh and did ok on test.
He gives a lot of extra credit, TOO MUCH actually. Each chapter he gives out several words for you to define which is all extra credit. There are a few group projects in class that are also extra credit. If you get 100% on a quiz, he'll give you 105%. He also drops the lowest quiz. He even brings everyone candy and cookies. Don't pass this up!
He is awesome! So nice!! I really suck at math, and he helped me so much. I wish he taught more math classes! I'd take him for every one. His class was awesome for me. Thanks Mr. Bigham, stay awesome
He's a good guy the class is easy enough if you do the homework go to class and study and do the homework. He is very funny and makes trig a lot of fun. His lectures are not dull at all.
Mr. Bigham has a lot of jokes to tell in class; sometimes his jokes are meant to be sarcastic. Sometimes, during the lecture, he quickly give advices to everyone in the class, and I have learned that we are not only to learn, but are here to understand the fundamentals of our society.
He is funny but many time disrespectful. He teaching style fine but not that good. Every test is without study guide and no second chance if you missed once. You have to listen alot non-funny jokes if you are taking his class.
dont wanna say anything about him.
Fantastic teacher. He really wants you to do well. Weird sense of humor and a bit strange but a very good person overall.
Really passionate professor, as well as one of the most eccentric I've had. Lectures were always engaging, explained the concepts rather than the problems, and paced the whiteboard notes well, so it was really easy to memorize the material for me. Got me to care about math and learn to actually enjoy it. Thanks, Mr. Bigham!
Hes an okay teacher. He waistes a lot of time. I feel like he doesnt really go over everything. His quizzes are not that hard. He just gets off topic too much and if you take him only twice a week there really isnt time to really know the material.
Great teacher!! Explains very well and gives a good amount of homework. Very nice and funny too. Pay attention and do not skip class!
Mr. Bigham is a very quirky guy. Very funny, but temperamental. He is a good teacher and tries to help his students. He is an easy grader for the most part and the tests/homework isn't too difficult. If you are having a hard time with the material, you will have to see the tutor! There isn't time in the class for him to help everyone individually.
