Hard teacher who doesn't take any crap. He moves at a really fasst pace. Anal, but he will help you if you go in at office hours. He really does want to see the class do well but he leaves it up to the individual to get their own grade. He is nice sometimes, but I just can't get passed his anal retentive habits!!

This is the third time I've taken math 130 and he makes it so easy for me. he doesn't move on from a problem until everyone understands it and he answers any questions you have about the homework so you understand it. I highly recommend him.

All math classes are on a tight schedule, all the teachers move fast. In all math classes you have to go 100% of the time. When I took his class he gave homework quizes (the quiz had some of the exact problems from the assigned homework). Most of my class that was not doing well were not doing homework and attendance was spotty.

I don't agree with some of the other posts. This man was a great teacher. Math is usually hard for anyone - go to class and do your homework and you will do fine. If you have questions he will help - and it will make sense. Great teacher.

Wow! I do not understand the last few ratings. I just started in his class, and I think he does a good job. he always asks for questions and practically begs us to come to his office anytime with questions.

I had Kopass a couple semesters ago and was very helpful. Anyone with half a mind would do fine in his class, now for the others of you, you should just give up now.

Good sense of humor

Mr. Kopsas is the best math teacher I have ever had. He takes the time to explain everything to you in a way you will understand. Math is hard. Attendance is mandatory. You can't expect to pass if you don't do the work. AWESOME teacher.

I guess all the rude comments were from those who did not do the work. Kopsas is a wonderful teacher. He will help you do well THE KEY IS OPENING YOUR MOUTH AND ASKING...do your work, study and ask questions THOSE ARE THE KEYS TO SUCESS IN MATH

This teacher is very much into technology! He has a tab on black board called Video examples where he actually works out homework problems from each section so it's like he is working on your homework with you!! He also is a very nice guy and will explain something until YOU inderstand it! He is genuine and actually cares!!

Daniel started teaching my class after our teacher left on pregnancy leave so I didn't have him all semester but overall he's a good teacher. More than willing to help. Puts his notes on blackboard if your absent. He was very helpful when we were studying for our final. I would recommend him to anyone taking 050.

Mr. Kopsas really impressed me. He understands that not everyone is a math genius so he breaks down the material into terms that can be understood easily. I highly recommend him.

Kopas is a new but very helpful teacher, he was trying new things to try and help the students remember. He does do a lot of quizzes but it ends up helping you out, because i think 5 lowest are dropped and it helps you get ready for test. Considering he is a new teacher he does very good trying to get students to understand, i would recommend

He is a great teacher! He is very up on technologly. I have had him for 050, 110, and now Precalculus. If your not a lazy Ace you will do great.

Absolutely the best math teacher I've ever had. I've struggled and struggled with math for years. I took Kopsas for MTH 130 and got my first B in a math class, ever. I am now in Trig, which I never imagined I would learn, and am doing well. Kopsas gives you all the tools for you to learn it, but you must put in the effort. Fantastic teacher!

Uses a Wacom tablet for lectures and publishes it online as a .pdf every day. Also, posts videos online of example problems- excellent for studying. Homework is given every day (just 5 probs) and notes. Don't complain- it's great grade padding. Is extremely helpful and inviting during office hours. I wish he taught higher level math classes.

Fantastic math teacher! The homework and quizzes are hard, but the tests are easier (wonderful for grades!). Go see him in his office, he is SUPER helpful!! His class is not easy, he expects you to learn and to think on your own, but if you work hard, you will do well. He does get excited about math, but that makes the class fun! TAKE HIM FOR MATH!

Was dreading this as a summer online course but he made this class very easy to understand and I would have gotten a better grade if my summer wasn't so busy. Great teacher, answered questions quickly which is nice for an online class.

Mr.Kopsas is a great teacher & extremely helpful. He makes you work for your grade, which I find to be a good quality. He allows you to be able to interact in the class by do the notes on his comp which is displayed on the overhead, he then post all the notes on blackboard. Very Helpful! If you are interested in math than he is the teacher for you!

Kopsas is an excellent professor. He takes time to explain anything you need help with and is an excellent communicator. You do have to try hard in order to do well but I've never had a better math instructor. Take him if possible.

Mr. Kopsas is an amazing instructor. He does alot of work on his own making videos that help explain every part of the class. I will be taking every Math class he teaches and I'd recommend him to anyone whether you are interested in math or not. He honestly seems to want every student to succeed. That's a rare quality in a community college.

I had Kopsas for college algebra. I sucked at math. He taught so well that I not only earned an A in the class, I went on to trig and made an A there as well, something I NEVER thought I'd do. You DO have to work hard in his classes. Boo hoo. He's a fantastic teacher. If you want to understand math, take him. If you just want an 'easy A,' don't.

Kopsas does most of his lecturing through videos that you access outside of class. The "homework" portion is done in class so you can ask questions as you do it. This method worked very well for me and his videos were clear and precise. I did not struggle in this class and math isn't my greatest strength. Watch the videos and you will be fine.

Definitely one of the best Math professors I have had. His videos are very helpful and everyone has the ability to succeed in his classes if they are willing to watch the videos and do the homework. I would especially suggest him for students who have struggled in math classes in the past.

At the beginning of the semester I was not sure if I was going to like him! But after my first test I know I made the right choice in staying! He is an amazing teacher! And if your not lazy, and go to class and do your work, then you'll do great! He expects a lot out of you, so if you have questions you must ask! I highly recommend!!!

I took this as an online class, and was pleasantly surprised at how well I did! I am so so at math, and was a little nervous for the class. His videos are awesome, and explain solutions in a simple way. The first part of the semester requires A LOT of homework, but the second half required much less of a time commitment. Well worth it!!!!

I took Trigonometry thinking I wouldn't understand it at all. However, his teaching methods of using videos to teach helped me a lot and I received a good grade in his class and he is very handsome. :)

Mr. Kopsas was one of my favorite professors I have ever had. Not only does he thoroughly cover the material, he is also very inviting during his office hours to go out of his way to help others. His passion and willingness to help his students succeed is hard to find. I am definitely taking his Trigonometry course in the fall! He is awesome!

I wouldn't recommend this course for those who are mathematically challenged. Most of his assignments are with the online ALEKS. ALEKS doesn't teach or grade the same way he does-he even told us that- so it's difficult doing seated and online work. However, he is EXTREMELY helpful but only if you've been trying all semester.

If math comes more easily to you, you should be fine. However I would not recommend him. He grades homework extremely hard. He wants you to write down every single step or you will get no credit. I feel like if I got the correct answer I should get credit. For example; if I could subtract 35-4 in my head, but didn't write the steps; I got no credit

Kopsas is hands down the best math teacher I've ever taken. Math literally makes zero sense to me, but when I took his class, the wheels were able to turn. He explains things in a way that no one ever has been able to. If it weren't for him, I'd have failed this class. I still struggled, but I struggled less because of his ability to teach well.

Mr. Kopsas was one of the best professors I've ever had. I'm terrible with math, the numbers rarely make sense to me, but I passed this class with a high B, thanks to Mr. Kopsas. Some friends of mine from our class liked him so much we invited him out to dinner with us to celebrate the end of the semester.

He is a great teacher. He explains very well. You need to communicate with him to actually get help.

He was genuinely the best math teacher I've ever had. He's extraordinarily patient and will explain things to you as much as you need without ever seeming frustrated. He holds his office hours in the tutoring center and does everything he can to help you because he actually wants you to pass. Take notes, do homework, ask questions and you'll pass.

Easily the best math teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. 10/10 would recommend taking him, especially if you think you're not usually good at math. He is very good at articulating and explaining difficult concepts. Very accessible and you can tell that he enjoys math so much that he wants you to be a success at math as well!

The best math teacher I have ever had, took the time to meet outside of class to help prepare for tests. Truly cares about his students and will put time into making sure you understand the material if you take the time and put in the effort to learn the material. Highly recommend taking his class!

Hands down the best teacher/professor I've ever had.

Easily the best math instructor I have ever had. I really felt like I understood the material for the first time in my life. As far as Mr. Kopsas' teaching style goes, I'm not sure it works for everyone. Lectures are brief and if you don't do the extra practice provided, you may fall behind. The first two exams were easy, the final... not so much.

Great professor. Went over content clearly and made it as easy to understand as possible. Doesn't give out too much homework. Very clear about homework due dates and exam dates.

This Class is designed for students have have a strong background in math so be ready to study a lot and defiantly recommend taking in person because you will do so much better, I'm having to retake this class because I thought it it will be easy but take it in person you will learn so much more.

This is a difficult class. Even more so if you opt to take the online version of it. Nonetheless, Professor Kopsas was extremely responsive and you can tell that he is passionate for Calculus and general mathematics for that matter. If I could take all of my math courses with him, I would. He made a difficult subject like this one very enjoyable.

ONLINE COURSE: Took college algebra online, fairly difficult, especially if you don't enjoy math. The online aspect made this class definitely made this class more difficult. -Due date heavy, you can't get behind in this class like others because of the due dates being close together. -Grading homework style is odd

I took this course online in Summer of 2022. Professor Kopsas is a passionate math instructor who knows how to break down complex concepts and teach them in a way that makes sense. The 8-week version of this course is very intensely paced, and I'd only recommend it if you have ample time available to study and complete the homework.

Mr. Kopsas deserves more credit than he receives on these reviews. He is extremely caring for his students. You will make a grade based on the effort you put in. Homework is a completion grade. The homework is often similar/more challenging than the tests. Same day grades as well as an opportunity to revise simple mistakes. Take this class.

Mr. Kopsas is the best math teacher that I have had. If you struggle with a topic, he will go out of his way to make sure that you understand it better.
