Spanky and Cranky send greetings.

Likes to do examples that surprise, are pertinent to the test. But also forces students to think and apply techniques learned. Not for the weak willed.

Great teacher. Do not understand what other people are talking about. I have been working with him for many years now and he has always been helpful. He answers questions that I have in other classes as well. Very intelligent and teaches more than just the book(College is about learning)

Dr. Clemons is like sling blade with a phd in mathematics.

Great guy, never had a teacher more willing to help his students.

great teacher, if you ask for help he will give it to you no questions asked, but if you don't ask he won't help. If you keep up on your work and study the material class is a breeze

I thought he was a great teacher. Had him over the summer for calc 3 and he was always personable and understood summers shouldn't be spent doing calc. I never did any homework but if you pay attention in class you should be fine.

Had for Calc I,II and Diff EQ and man when i went to Calc III w/o him i realized how valuable of a teacher he was, extrememly devoted to his work, and is always there to help, fast paced and challenging, but somehow he manages to infuse the info into our mind... also has lots of great stories

Very helpful and fun. The class is tough but Clemons is always there to help.

second time taking class, clemons makes it much easier.

Dr. Clemons is a very good teacher and fair grader. His expectations are high but his tests are unnecessarily hard. They are much harder than quiz problems and there were no assigned homework problems to prepare students for the difficulty of his tests. He can also take a condescending tone towards students when they ask for clarification in class.

Awesome teacher, the best teacher i have ever had at Akron.

Fun Class, Great teacher

Very devoted, helps students in any way possible. Hard tests though. Great teacher overall

Fantastic teacher. Also, he once came to my house and saved my cat by getting it out of a tree. He is truly the last American hero.

Awesome, energetic and keeps you motivated. Do the work and you will be fine. He also likes to give you the test questions if you pay attention in class...

Moves quickly through material and assumes that students can keep up. If you miss a class, it is difficult to catch up. As long as you go to class, do the homework, and read the book, the class is not too difficult. Awesome stories during class that keep the class interesting and entertaining. Very knowledgeable professor who is worth taking again!

He's enthusiastic, accommodating, fair, and pretty much a genius. I'm not a great math student, but I enjoyed his class and learned a lot from him. He's an extremely fair grader, fantastic with partial credit. You will learn a lot from him.

I had him for Calc III and ODE. He's a great professor. He cares about the students learning. He's very fair and gives students every chance to do well. Highly recommend.

Know his stuff, but tests are very, very hard. Have to do homework on a daily basis and must have questions to ask or he will assume you know what you're doing. Fair grading scale and quizzes every week that can help boost grade. Have to do well on exams to do well in class. Loves his students though

Had him for Linear Algebra in the summer. I don't know how you could not get a good grade in the class he teaches everything straight forward and gives you identical problems in preparation for the exams. Would recommend him to anyone.

Very intelligent instructor, but does not convey ideas clearly enough to be understood well during homework and exams. Likes to put questions on exams that have sometimes never been seen in class (or seen very rarely). Loves his students and is very easy to talk to about anything. Exams are very hard!

Horrible teacher who is okay with letting whole class of student fail.

Dr. Clemons is a very passionate professor that likes to see his students do well. His notes reflect hw, quizzes, and exams but the exams are much more difficult than hw and quizzes. Be prepared to understand how to graph as its essential to pass his course.

Clemons is a great teacher. He is passionate about teaching and will help you any time you need it, even if that means going to his house and sitting at his dinner table. Tests directly reflect HW and quizzes. DO THE RECOMMENDED BOOKWORK. Just be prepared for at least an hour of HW a night. This class will prepare you for higher math.

Awesome professor if you are willing to put in the time. He will always find ways to help you and get you back on track. He tells exactly what are on his quizzes and exams. He rushes through lecture so he can do problems where you actually figure out how to do the problems. Notes are frustrating, but you understand them when he does problems.

His tests are very difficult and often involve using several methods to complete the problems. He is very helpful, however. Anytime he is not teaching a class, he will help you, even if you interrupt his research. He prepares you very well to succeed in higher math. He teaches you how to recognize patterns and not just do problems.

Dr. Clemons is a very smart man, and it shows when he lectures. It is often difficult to follow his notes, but he does them quickly in order to get to example problems which are very helpful. Bottom line - it is difficult to get good grades in his class, but he prepares you more than any other professor I've encountered. Be ready to do homework!

Clemons possibly has the best repertoire of amusing stories and anecdotes of any teacher I've had, and is generally extremely likable. If you prepare hard for quizzes and do the homework the material itself becomes of an almost trivial difficulty, as he lays out the steps to solving ODE's very well and his expectations are clear.

Clemons made Calc 2 very manageable. While his tests aren't easy, they are definitely doable if you put in the time. It's also worth noting that he makes the dreaded sequences and series not so hard to learn. As an added bonus, he has all sorts of cool stories about his life. He has 3 tests and weekly quizzes. He does NOT curve.

Tests are incredibly tough, but he often gives out-of-class assignments to balance out the grade. He knows his class is difficult, but he does his best to make up for it. He wants you to pass. Do the homework, and you should be able to understand the material.

Clemons made Calc 3 an enjoyable experience. The secret to doing well in his class is to look at last year's test because they are very similar to what you'll get. Keep up with the homework and you'll do fine!

He was a great teacher. His lectures were always exciting he had a fun story from his life eveyday and the rest of his lecture is very helpful. He is always willing to help his students and he gives good feedback on the tests. Ask him lots of questions he'll answer everyone of them in detail. He doesn't take attendance but go to the class!

Dr Clemons was awesome. Actually cares about teaching and says his job is a privilege. Always made sure we were prepared for quizzes and tests, and was always willing to take extra time to help us understand the material and go over HW and quiz problems. Very personable and approachable, likable guy. Anyone is lucky to have him for any math class

Clemons is the man! He moves fast, but if you look at the recent tests on Springboard you'll be fine. Diff Eq wasn't bad until Laplace Transforms and Series, but even then it was manageable to get an A. I'm happy I had this guy for Calc 2, 3, and Diff Eq.

Clemons is a pretty good professor. He can be kind of hard to follow at times in class, but he is willing to answer any and all questions. Puts practice exams on springboard from previous years and the test he gave this year was identical except he changed the numbers. He also pauses a lot during lecture to tell various stories about his life.

Dr. Clemons is alright. His lectures were interesting, more stories about his life than math, but the stories were at least good! He is willing to help you if you don't understand the material though, and he's very nice. Tests were generally straightforward, except for the final, that included a bunch of things he did not teach us.

Dr. Clemons is a little scatterbrained at time, but he is brilliant. Talks a million miles a minute and will make you work for an A. He will always always answer any question in as much depth as he can. He wants to see his students succeed and will often spur of the moment change some quizzes to make them easier if quiz scores are low.

I had Dr. Clemens for differential equations in Summer 2017. I've never had a professor who cared about his students as much as him. I can speak from his summer DIFFEQ CLASS is easy. He lays out all past summer exams. Same questions except numbers are changed slightly. It was so easy didn't work hard at all and I enjoyed going to his class everyday

Dr. Clemons is truly a great professor, one of the best the Mathematics department has. Taught Complex Variables after the teachers got swapped around and it was the best thing to happen. He made this difficult class simple and understandable. Lots of homework, but it's graded for a large portion of the overall grade and helps with exams.

Dr. Clemons really is a great professor. Sure, he might not have the greatest handwriting, but he is one of the few professors at this university that truly cares about his students. He is very busy but will go out of his way to help you. He provides everything you need to succeed in his class if you are willing to put in the work required for it.

He cares a lot about his students, especially when you are friendly and nice to him. He can be a little harsh sometimes, but thats usually only when people ask questions he already answered. As long as you are nice and good to him, hell give the same to you.

Great professor. We need more like him. All notes of old tests and quizzes are provided upfront, so you know exactly what you are getting into. It is up to you to study. Those who fail his courses are simply lazy.

Clemons is a very intelligent guy that knows what he is talking about. He goes very fast during lectures however all his notes are posted online so you can always go back later. A lot of material is posted online such as old quizzes and tests, if you don't pass its on you.
