Speaks very fast. Knows what he is doing.

He moves fast, and sometimes his explanations don't really explain anything. One key to his class: make sure you read over the section you'll be doing in class that day *before* you go to class. And try not to get too frustrated - but do your homework!!

has a lame 'middle school' thing, where he gives out math dollars you can redeem on your tests. you can get them by asking questions, cleaning the white boards, or even 'just because'. he also alows notes on tests.

I think this teacher explained the material very well. Another student in the Math 131 course commented that Adams says he recognizes people outside of class. Obviously this student wasn't listening because he said that he doesn't.Don't be so hard on him.

Best. Teacher. Ever.

I found David's class to be very enjoyable. His jokes raised morale, and he explains things very clearly. If you put some what of an effort in, he will more than likely pass you.

Dave's AWESOME and hillerious!

Good teacher. Take him if you can get him.

he is a really good guy, if u study hard, it's easy to get a high grade

Go dave,,, Go Dave ,,,, Go dave

Totally awsome guy!

he requires a lot of homework but he has stats to prove that if you do the homework you will preform better.

Fun teacher, makes it easy to make it through class. Teaches well

teach very well, i like him... he makes me like math more...

Didn't do homework until the day before exams and got 150/150 on them....You'de have to be pretty dang dumb to not catch all of his hints that he gives you about what the tests are going to be on. ("I like THIS problem...") He's not an extremely good teacher; I've noticed girls hate him and guys generally like him.

this teacher, is a freakin' carzy teacher.. and what's up with that file we have to turn in by the end of the quarter? that sucks dude... seriously, if u wanna take his class, RECONSIDER! he teaches straight from the book and avoiding all the challenging questions.. so why don't we just spend our time at the library reading the test book?!

I donｔknow why people keep saying he isnt a good teacher. I failed math in highschool and this is the only time I understand math. Hes really fun in class and its a plus about the file because if you work etc outside of school it gives you plenty of time to finish the homework.

He is funny and nice. I suck at Math but I understand what he says in class. And What's wrong with the examples from textbook thing? I love it

There is a decent amount of homework that is all collected from a binder at the end of the quarter. A good system if you are a busy person since it allows you to do the work when you want as long as its done by the end. Clear explanations, tests are pulled DIRECTLY from homework assigned and quizzes taken. Math doesn't get much easier than thi

Very helpful and always try to help.

I really like this teacher. He is always available to help you out, his office is always open. I really like how he engages the class. MATH DOLLARS RULE!

Dave is an amazing teacher, if you put effort into this class and in listening to him and applying what he teaches you will get an A hands down favorite teacher so far.

He is ok. He uses math dollar as an extra credit. All he does in class is solve and explain the example in the textbook. His test is not really hard, but sometime there are some problems come from...nowhere. He teaches and speaks fast, but overall he is good.

Dave is really friendly and interesting to listen to. He does move fast and skip steps so you have to pay attention or ask if you lose him. He is amazingly good at doing math and because of that he sometimes gets ahead of me. Other than that i would have to say he has been one of my favorite teachers so far. MATH DOLLARS ARE THE BOMB!!

Dave Adams is a great teacher. I'm female and I completely disagree that he favors guys more. Great class for independent learners but students who really depend on teachers babying them through class will be sorely disappointed. Math dollars rock, and doing the homework is an absolute must for a good grade, although it's really not that hard.

Dave Adams is a great teacher. He gives out extra credid, drops your worse quiz grade, and lets you replace a test with the final. He expects you to do your homework. Most of the questions in the test come from your homework, so if you do your homework you should be fine. He goes over homework problems with the class. He is a very helpful teacher.

Took this class two quarters ago and after taking the same class with another teacher, it was easy to see how Adams is so much better. He is very clear on his steps and makes few mistakes. If you do the homework, you should have no trouble succeeding in the class. Don't do it, and you'll fail.

Mr. Adams is a good teacher. He is caring, funny, and he really cares for his students that put in the effort.He gets frustrated when students are disrespectful and don't put in the effort as I believe he should. We are in college after all....I would recommend him to anyone. Keep an open mind, do your homework, and be respectful!

Cool guy. Instruction is clear, as is what you're expected to know. He's also pretty entertaining and friendly outside of class. Encourages you strongly to use his office hours, so a lot of one on one help is available. Also a lot of extra credit. I highly recommend Adams.

He is really a good teacher ! He gave a lot of math dollars for those who are active in his class. Although his explanation is quite fast, I can clearly get it. Great teacher overall!

first time teaching statistics, not bad. However, his explanation kinda weird and confusing sometimes. He really nice, though. He was very helpful. If you do the homework, then you'll be fine for the tests

Math146 such a hard class but I think his teaching is successful. He require lots of self study and tell us what will be on test. It's really hard and alomst drive me crazy last quarter but I really learned a lot in his class than my friend in other teacher's class. The thing he teaches is very useful. Prepare to WORK VERY HARD if you chose him.

Really friendly and does a good job creating a nice class atmosphere. Examples done in class are quite easy, while test problems can be difficult. Not unreasonably difficult, but it can come as a surprise if you're lulled into a false sense of security. That said, I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I really liked the way he sets up his class. Do your homework and you will be prepared for the quiz. Quizzes are short and help to prepare you for the test. Study your test and quizzes and they help you on the final. Math dollars are helpful to win points and he is sort of funny, makes it enjoyable.

He looks and act nice. but I think he is fed up teaching. Proof, one he stick on the text book nothing but the text book. he is not comfortable teaching any example outside the text. second, instead of showing his work step by step on the board he erases and modifies the same step to the end. Third he spends a lot of time on basic simple stuff ...

Really nice guy, got off topic a lot during class. However, he was always ready to help you at office hours. As long as you're nice to him, he's a really nice teacher who tries hard to make you understand the math.

nice but moody guy. poor way of teaching. maths is to be shown step by step. He also abuses the maths dollar he create, not fair for shy students. it looks like he calculated how much A's he gives out. doesn't consider your effort.

difficult class, but if you have trouble, got o his office hours. His teaching is sometimes unclear because he goes straight out of the textbook, but he his more than willing to help you understand in his office hours

The class itself is very hard, but Adams tries to help his students in every way he can. If you have more than 1 or 2 questions go to his office. You can go to his office the day of a test and ask questions too. Math dollars are fairly easy to get. Math dollars are fairly easy to get as long as you are involved in class, and are prepared.

Tells a lot of stories, but I liked them, they kept me from getting too bored. I disagree that his math dollars are degrading, I think they are a helpful reward for paying attention in class and having the confidence to speak up about mistakes you think he has made. Easy to do well if you do the work, especially if you speak up for math dollars.

Keeps it simple so dont overthink!

This is the best mathematic teacher I have ever had ! He gives a lot of extra credit if you do the homework and find his mistake while he is teaching. He is a great teacher with an effective study method !

While the material can be difficult I was pleased that David made it easier to understand and was willing to take questions. He was always available and encouraged used of his office hours. If you are willing to put in the necessary time to read, take notes, go to class and study you can do well in his class.

He's a really good teacher! Statistics is not an easy subject in the first place, but Dave makes it doable if you do your part as a student by doing hw, reading the textbook, asking questions, ect. He gives extra credit if you do your hw everyday. I found this class easy after taking calculus, but might be harder for people who just took math 90.

He is really good teacher overall. Yes he does move through the lessons quickly. If you show him that your trying your best, he is more than happy to help and answer your questions. This class is easy for those whose strong-suit is math. But overall, its not a hard class to pass.

Dave is a great teacher! I would take him again any day. He gives out so much extra credit in math dollars, and genuinely cares about your success in the class. If you put in effort he will notice, but be sure you go to class everyday as attendance is important to him. Overall, if you try you will pass with an 3.8 at least.

Amazing teacher! Inspires his students, is very available to help you, and is very straightforward with his material. He's also pretty funny and keeps class interesting by telling funny and somewhat relevant stories.

It's really hard to get enough unless you want to get an F. He makes it very clear that he has office hours. Homework is all done online which is nice. Always come to class prepared with your notes, always review the sections. All of his lectures are on Canvas. Do you homework so you get math dollars, those are extra credit points. GOOD LUCK FAM

Amazing guy, challenges you. Webassign in essential, study the abnormal homework problems and his slides (especially the ones that say important). He doesn't like lazy students, he expects a lot from you but you will learn a lot. He has passion for his subjects, LOVES questions. Nothing surprising on the final, his grading policy is good.

Best statistics teacher out there! Gives math dollars if you really try your best, and consistently do homework each night. This class will definitely prove if you are ready for college level classes. His class is challenging like most classes, but also fun. DEFINITELY TAKE HIS CLASS!!

One of the best math teachers I've ever had! His lectures are quick, so stay focused and he tells you what to take notes of. He posts every lecture, quiz review, and test review online so you won't miss much. His tests/quizzes are basically the reviews and he reuses questions from previous tests/quizzes. Gives extra credit just doing HW daily!

If you do the homework every night and read the upcoming section the night before, you'll do just fine. He's very clear on what he expects from his students. He uploads a study guide for each test and quiz and tells exactly what will be on it. Lectures can be confusing at time, but if you read the book and ask questions, you should be okay.

He is an amazing teacher. He is very clear about what you must learn and focus on during the course. If you do that, you will end up doing very well. Doing homework and coming to class is the most important in his class. You get math dollars as extra credit if you do homework and it helps alot in test. overall, he is a great teacher.

In Statistics he is so helpful it is unreal. He is SO SO clear about what you need to know and reinforces it through the homework. Listen to the lecture do the homework before class (as this gives u a bonus point on tests) and i promise you will do very well. Cares and tries hard to get everyone to do well offers tons of free time to help you.

Best math teacher by far. He is very clear on what he expects his students to know. before every test and quiz he does a great job reviewing material. Some of the questions during his review are on the test/quiz so show up. Homework isn't due till end of quarter but you get extra credit if you do it on time. He will let you drop a quiz and test.

Dave is awesome if you put in effort and care about doing well. He is very good at explaining and always gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get clarification. If you do homework as it's assigned you get extra credit points on the tests. If you get a total of 100% on the tests, you don't have to take the final.

Dave is a great professor. He really cares and knows a lot about statistics. He covers material quickly and efficiently and uploads his lecture material online for easy access later. He also awards students for coming to class on time with the daily homework completed. If you put in effort and really pay attention to his teaching, you'll do well.

Great Guy, Very Helpful.

He makes you use a lot of technology in order to solve really difficult problems that would otherwise be done long hand. This makes the class very unique compared to other Stat classes. And it actually makes homework easier. Make sure you do your homework everyday because he will give extra to those who stay on top of their homework. Take him!

Great teacher, always answered e-mails within 24 hours. Likes to use technology to solve hard and long problems, for test he will give you tips during the exam to help improve your grade. If you take Stats online like I did, you can work ahead of the class and finish early.

One of the best professors I've ever had ! He really cares for students' success. Quizzes and exams have no surprises. A lot of reading and learning, but it's worth it! I took this class two years ago

David Adams is incredibly enthusiastic about his field! He tells stories relevant to the coursework, and also tells some stories not at all related to the coursework, but it's all part of the DAdams experience. Pretty easy if you pay attention in class and follow along with the online homework. 10000/10 best teacher :D

Best math teacher I have ever had. Lectures are great, and he will stop to explain something more in depth if someone asks. Gives you extra credit points as an incentive to do better. The way the class works is so fair. Its based on what you put in is what you get. If you do the work and study the material for quizzes and tests, youll get an A.

Dave Adams is a wonderful teacher. I took his hybrid stat class, so we met once a week to discuss the chapters that were due that week or to ask questions and what not. He was very helpful with any questions and responds quickly. If you watch his homework help videos and ask questions there is no reason you wouldnt pass.

David is a wonderful professor. His lecture is very well-organized. His teaching make statistiacs easy to understand. Before each quiz and exam, he will guide students to review and this part is very helpful for the students get a good score. You will get a high score in this class if you follow his guidance.

I was recalling good teachers I've had, and Dave Adams came to mind. I had him as instructor back in 2005, and he was one of the few teachers that showed genuine passion in his student's success. It's not too common to see that nowadays!

I took him fall 2018. He was the best teacher I've ever had. His study guide is clear and will help you with the tests and quizzes. If you studied, you'll do great. He gives lots of extra credits.

This math class is EASY! All the math is done on statcrunch, BUT watch all his video's on canvas before doing the HW and you will pass with flying colors. He shows you how to do the problems. No final but 2 tests each worth 25% of your grade. I suck at math and I passed with a A. I took the class online and is proctored but still really easy.

This has to be the best class I have ever taken. He makes it as easy as it could possibly be with lots of lecture videos you could watch to remember what you did in class and most of his homework is on start crunch. I can go on and on about how amazing his class is, definitely an easy A!!!

I took this class online, as we are in a pandemic, this was my 1st math course I took at college and it was pretty easy. He had given extra credit if we did the tests a day before. He also takes off the lowest 2 grades for the quizzes. If you watch all the lectures and homework you should be fine.

The class curriculum does have frequent homework and quizzes, but the lectures and homework help make it really easy to understand it all. He also gives extra credit for the tests. As long as you watch all his lectures + HW help videos and do the homework, you should be fine on the quizzes/tests, which are pretty similar to the homework in general.

His lectures are easy to understand and the hw helps as well. His test study guides are basically the test questions as well. He let me retake quizzes because he wanted me to get a 4.0 in the class. And he lets you work ahead. There's a lot of work but if you watch his lectures then the hw is easy.

Super super great professor, hope i can take more of his classes in the future! There is quite a bit of work, but if you watch the lecture videos and hw help you will do great. Super clear expectations, he wants you to work ahead. Homework is very similar to the quizzes, and you can retake quizzes 3 times. Responds promptly with good help!

I am AWFUL at anything regarding math. I was terrified to take stats. However, my view quickly changed with Mr. Adams. He is a great teacher. He tells you how to be successful in his class. He provides you with lectures, text, and other sources to learn more. Mr. Adams sets up his class for you to be successful. You just have to put the work in.

Like many, math is my sticking point. Adam's class changed that. His lectures are amazing and he does an excellent job of explaining and working through the HW. He provides extra credit opportunities. When I started, I hoped I might pull a C in the class. I put in the time/energy and walked away with an A-. This class is a must if you need Math146.

I took Statistics back in 2019 and got a 2.0 and I learned nothing. I took David Adams math&146 and I actually learned a lot and he made instructors and grading criteria very fair and clear. Great class would take again 10/10 best professor ever at Edmonds Community College

This course is 100% online without lectures. However, there are lecture or HW help videos that assist a lot in solving questions. Not tremendous, but some work to do, but they are directly associated with quizzes or exam questions. A lot of extra credits which are exam score-dependent. Easy A if you make a plan and do some work steadily.

Professor Adams is probably the most easygoing professor I've ever had. The extra credit he provides isn't even necessary to end up with a high A in the class since the homework, quizzes, and exams have the same problems. In fact, it was so simple that I wish the exams were more challenging to help me with my critical thinking skills.

Super helpful, fast-paced class but easy to follow along with.

If you actually watch his lecture videos and spend an hour each class day, you should be just fine. BUT if you don't, they pile up and you're screwed. Also, he is ready to retire so very nice and excited for his career and the future. I hope the gentleman enjoys the rest of his life in joy!!!

Professor Adams runs a straightforward class with lots of support. The homework, quizzes, and exams follow a similar format, making it easy to prepare. I found unstuck ai and its practice quizzes especially helpful for studying.

He's a very nice easy-going teacher. Very helpful and wants everyone to succeed. His online lectures are very informative and he provides homework-help videos. It's a fast pace class so definitely work ahead! Only two tests that are proctored. The homework questions assigned to study for the test are the same questions on the test! Easy class!

Mr. Adams uses his own videos from a few years ago to teach and another video for homework help on Pearson. Almost everything on the homework is on the 2 exams he gives. His practice exams are extremely long (4hrs & 8hrs), but unavoidable to get a good grade. His steps to get Pearson are outdated and cannot help with it, but he's a good teacher.

Very understanding & respectful. The content is online, even if you sign up for in person. Homework every day, but it is manageable. There is a lecture video, and homework help video per section. There is one quiz per chapter (12 chapters) & open notes. 2 exams that are recorded through Honor lock. No notes on midterm, 2 pages of notes on final.

This was a pretty easy class. The whole course is doing homework and 1 quiz each chapter based on his own lecture vids. He makes a vid going through the hw for every assignment and is easy to get help from. there's also a midterm and final, but the final doesnt cover anything from the midterm. Just stay on top of the work and youll be good.
