HARD COURSE I DROPPED IT
His teaching is NOT the best but he's a great guy.
Baruch's Calculus passing rate is ridiculously low. Contrary to the other ratings he's recieved, you actually have a fair chance to pass calculus with him. His tests are 10x easier than the next professor. I barely knew Calculus and walkedaway with a B.
He gives you alot of chances to pass the class. Our final was 35 out of 30 multiple choice and only counted the correct ones and took off for anything below 20 mistakes!
I've gone through two calc teachers and prof tepper is by far the best at explaining. He's funny and not corny and he will explain everything if you just listen. He offers test reviews (which professors seldom do). He even offers weekend tutoring
Nice, understanding, helpful. Tests are pretty straightforward. Highly recommended.
the bomb
easy and nice
the best. goes fast but stops to review and basically goes over the test. Gives chances to make up for failing grades. this semester he's counting only 3 highests tests scores out of 5 tetsts. very FUN class.
If you have never taken precal in high school before then youll probably have a hard time cuz he goes real fast and doesnt teach that well. His tests are easy though as long as you look over the text a little.
He's hard to understand but he goes over the material a million times so you'll eventually get it, by the end of the term you'll do fine on you finals. Do your work and it's an easy A.
If you want an easy A - he is the guy! (But if you want to know math, find another teacher)
The best professor ever. Very easy A if u can work as a team member (on a test) and know how to cheat. Doesn't teach that well, but he's very easy. ALMOST doesn't take attendence. Take this class, you won't regret it.
He is a very good grader. Gives you many chances to do well. His tests have nothing that he does not go over. His review sessions are great. He'll make sure you get the highest grade possible as long as he knows you made an effort.

Great!!!!!!!!!
OMG EASY! Go to the reviews and PASS, guaranteed, learn how to cheat or go up to the desk to "ask" a question, while ur there, drone off and just check out his answer guide.
if you don't take him, then you'll have a lot of trouble. Great professor, I did minimal work and got B.
He's ok but goes way to fast. I couldnt keep up.
This guy is awesome. Very funny guy as well. He left us in stitches. Gives many exams and drops the lowest 2 scores. He explains everything. I got an F in calc with Wang, took this guy and got an A. Funny thing is I worked harder in Wangs class.
GREAT! GOES FAST BUT REVIEWS BEFORE EACH TESTS AND THE TEST IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE REVIEW. GIVES YOU A LOT OF CHANCES TO RAISE YOUR GRADE EVEN YOU FAILED A TEST OR THREE. IF YOU CAN TAKE HIM ITS AN EASY A
He's a good teacher. You'll get out of the class what you demand from it. True, you can pass without doing much work; but if you actually pay attention and do some of the homework like you're supposed to, it wouldn't be so confusing.
He's sometimes funny. Mostly corny, but at least it keeps you distracted from falling asleep. He teaches for his tests, so if you pay attention to the class examples you'll do fine (if you do a couple of hw problems and go over your notes you'll get an A)
He is awesome. He grades most people much higher than they should be getting. Definitely take him. However, be prepared for some vulgar language.. he uses the F word a lot. He's funny though.
he teaches a bit fast but he's a really good teacher. he reviews the material for like almost two weeks before the test and he teaches the material step by step so u would understand it. he gives hw but doesnt collect it. but u should do it anyway.
If you dont take him you'll fail with another.
OMG!!!! CHEEEEEAT!! lol;... yaeah, in this clas its easy. an exam is like a group work. "i got #7, you got 8?".. tyahts what i used to hear in his class
he teaches very fast but goes over the review sheet for the test at least two times. he makes a lot of mistakes, but he is very funny and "interesting." cool teacher.
well, i deserved an A and he gave me a B+..i gotta go and talk to him...i took him in summer and he was MADDDDDDDD EASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSy...only one exam and a final..he rocks in summer.
I just took him in the summer and got an A. He is wonderful and really explains math in a way everyone can understand. Im so glad I took him - I definitely learned a lot from him =)The best!
Tepper is the man. I got a B in the class and I suck at math. I barely studied. He just knows how to explain things well I guess and I payed attention. He can be funny at times too.
He is the man!!!
Excellent professor with a sense of humor.If you want to get an A at Math and that also in Calculus then you take him.
GReat guy, funny, uses the F word a lot to keep you awake. Reviews for tests and gives out study sheets. Very easy. But teaches a bit fast.
Took this professor but seemed pretty hard. Had to drop the course. Anybody taking Tepper watch out cuz you may have to drop the course sooner or later. Good luck.
This guy is tough. Do not take this prof. unless you wanna mess up your GPA like me. He gave me a D.
Prof. Tepper is not so EZ ok. I expected a A and he gave me a B-.
Prof. Tepper lacks ability to teach. I wonder how Baruch could allow such a dumb professor to teach. I could teach better math than him. I did very well in all my tests and still this guy gave me a c. I swear I will never ever take his class.
tepper has changed and doesnt want to be known as EZ anymore and hes hard as heck!!did WELL on my exams and got a C+!!! don't take this class if you think it'll raise your GPA!! you have to work hard for that B
This guy is full of****. He likes to is the F word a lot. All he does is making crude jokes. He is damn boring. When it comes to taking the exam, they are damn hard. I did bad in the class because of him.
Tepper is damn hard. He offends his students with his dirty jokes. This man do not know how to behave. After all the hard work, what would you feel if you get an F?? This guy ruined my GPA. He is a ****
This professor does not know how to teach. He is rude, unhelpful and full of crap. Two thumbs down.
I just wasted my time and money taking this professor. This guy was about to mess up my GPA but thank God I dropped the course on time. It really saved my life.
Tepper is the man. If u fools cant do good in tepper's class u don't belong in Baruch. He is one of the best Baruch has. The best math professor in Baruch.
I really hope someone is trying to sabotoge Tepper's name just so some1 drops him and they can get into the class...cuz that's just pathetic and wrong...
Tepper is my man. He is real cool and an easy grader as well. Highly recommended.
Prof Tepper is the best professor in Baruch. Anybody taking his class should be glad to have him as your math professor. I recommend him A+++.
This guy is very EZ. Take him and I am sure it will raise your GPA. I got an A-.
You guys watch out cuz he might break your neck.
I rated him high but he's a real ****. He chose math as his career not b/c he likes it but b/c there was an opportunity there since there are few people in the US who like math. He's rude and hates giving grades above C b/c he had a C average when in college.
he is a really great guy and very helpful.if u are not very good at math take him but make sure to do all his assignments(he doesent asks for it) and go through his review sheet before his exams and u will do very good on this course.
Although i did not get good grades on tests, he gave me a lot better grade. Just come to exam dates and review classes. you will do fine
this son of a **** is damn hard. he is rude. he will surely **** up your GPA!!
He is the best. he prepare u for the final.
This class is hard no matter who teaches it. Tepper prepares you for the departmental final . his tests are way harder that the depatment test but it pays of in the end. He may be the easiest at baruch but still you gotta work your ass of
the class was so easy and was an easy A class. Didnt seem like anyone can fail hes class.
this guy is such a crackhead. he is rude, hard and a son of a ****. what worse can you expect than that!
This guy was SOOOOOO easy. If I would have taken the class with another professor would have gotten an F with my grades, but even with my 45 average I got an A-. LOVE THIS PROFESSOR! If you wan't to learn something then don't take him. Easiest grade by far.
he's a good prof. if you keep up with the material, the tests are easy, got an A in his class but i kept up with the work during the course, his exams are staight foward and he's simple and not strict. take him if you can keep up with your work, its an easy A if you can just keep up with the work. he's cool too.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Math is my worst subject and I took it before and got a F, but this time I got a A. If I could get a A in this class, anyone can get a A. There are bad comments here, the only reason why is cuz they're hoping ppl would drop the so their friends could be in this class. TAKE HIM, HE IS THE BEST!!!!
I hope all the Extreme Bright students should read this!!!!!! It's a class that is too easy and u couldn't learn much.Much easier than AP cal, makes u forget complicate math b/c it is too easy. It's a class that u could pass very easily, but who wants to always get A without challenges? I don't. Not a great class than can help students to explor..
ATTENTION: for all the extremely dumb students. this could be the easiest math class u could ever take!! as long as u know ur 123s n know how to do this ->1+1=?? then u'll definitely PASS!!! guarantee!! u cant go wrong in this class.so do u want As or not? if u do then u HAVE to take this class. U WONT BE REGRET IT!
he is a really nice guy but he really cannnn't teach pre calc he is really bad. you have to learn by yourself in order to do well on the final. there are no h.w, at least that is a plus
GREAT PROFESSOR!
create your entire schedule around this class.. check esims every day to see if there is an available seat.. that's what i did.. trust me, it's worth it. LOVED HIM!! absolutely THE BEST math is so tough, but when he teaches.. i miraculously understand it.. and it all makes sense..
Nice guy but can't teach well. He's late most of the time and he is on a bad mood half the time. Precal is hard as it is. You have to do alot of work outside the class to do well. Do the final practice quetions!
He can't teach, but very few people in the math dept can. But, since you have to take math, you may as well take him since his tests aren't that difficult. Here's the difference: If you stay on top of this class and have him as your teacher, an A is possible. With some other teachers, it isn't. Take this guy over anyone else.
Listen, build your entire schedule around this class. He's a great guy and a great grader, especially when compared to the other horrible Math teachers in Baruch's department. Doesn't take attendance, gives 3 tests and a final. Big Curves.
He's a great guy and easy grader, but does not prepare you for the department final. PLUS, you are not well prepared for the next class. If you are not a strong math student, take another teacher so you will be better prepared for the final test and calculus.
He is such a nice guy, but he isn't that great of a teacher. He does give big curves, but in order to pass you need to teach yourself like I did. Whenever you asked him to explain himself, he would get mad.
he is better than all the calc professor. very humble and easy going professor. big curves and you can cheat in his class. highly recommended who just want to pass this course and do not want to learn anything.. MATHS major/minor. stay away :)
plzz dont take him i am agree with other student he is easy but u have to study ur own. first of all he doesnt know how to teach. may be its sound good that he give big curves and easy but u have to pass the final inorder to get credit soo trust me u have to prepar with out any prof help. if u can take him otherwise say away.
This guy is the worst teacher I have ever encountered. He can't teach. He starts explaining something, and says, alright and just moves on, without finishing. He's rude, and he treats us like we are elementary school kids. I could not understand one thing he talked about. It was better when I practiced at home, without his help. What good is that?
He is the best professor ever. He is very nice and wants the students to do well.
man i dont like prof.. i hope if he wil have review whole semister.. bec whole semister he didnot teach any thing n i didnot learn any thing out of his class i have to study after class inorder to understand. he never too attention he doesnt care if u understand ornot..he got mad if u ask any question.....
the only thing to worry about is the final...u fail that, u fail the class...alot of work outside of class is necessary but a good grade is attainable...do not go in expecting an easy A tho!
I know my comment is the oppiste of the others, but take mine into the most consideration bc I got an A in the class! 3 exams (1 easy take home). He ONLY focuses on the final, which is great!..It really prepares u for the real final bc thats how you pass the class-class progress has NO IMPACT-Advice: A lot of tutoring! It Helps!
Don't believe the hype...
ahhhhhh...i though i had this class down but i was soo lying to myself...you wanna pass..treat it like its the only class you're takin..Tepper was a good teacher but the class is very fast paced like all the others..so he's doin nothing wrong..definitely concentrate on the final..that can make ya or break ya!!!
he doesnt care..u dont hav to go to class he rele just doesnt care just worry about the final you must pass it....show up on quiz days.....tests are easy you can cheat he doesnt care he hates baruch and he hates his job but he is helpful and sometimes quite humorous
Class wasnt that easy the exams were quite trickey in terms that you needed to know how to apply a concept, requires thinking outside of the box then the examples simply given in the book.. I dropped after the first 2 exams.
This class was no joke, the professor doesn't even mark attendance, know names, or teach. Constantly stutters and lose thoughts, has a temper problem and breezes through lessons at the speed of light. Unless you can study on your own everyday, then don't take him. I barely passed the final, and that was because I studied on my own, if I didn't...
Do NOT take this professor if you are inept in Math as I am. He does not take attendance, does not go over homework so there is no point in doing it but it is what you need to pass this class. He goes through 2-4 sections in one class time which shows that he speeds through the class. There is no lesson plan or organization and he does stutter.
MTH 2203/2205 teachers get the worst ratings not because the teacher is bad, but the subject is hard. Most people hate on Tepper because they got a bad grade, but they fail to realize that this subject is hard. He really tries to help and curve p.s. since when is not taking attendance a bad thing
Not a good teacher, could not learn anything from class, had to get tutored privately to pass this course.
He wasn't bad at all. The topics were confusing if you never saw any type of calc before. He does expect you to get it. Doesn't like being interupted. Does not take attendance, great curves, overall nice funny guy. (You'll DEFINITLY get along by better if he likes you)
he was the man! aced it with no problem and i barely showed up for class he rockeddd
This guy is the best teacher ever created. You can literally not go to class and have a 100 test average. Trust me im going through it right now. The only thing is you must study for the final because he cant help you by curving the final. He curves each test and drops the lowest grade. I am telling you he is a guaranteed good grade for anyone !
nice, sweet professor but he can't really teach. EASY A though!!! he go through homework with you but most of his explanations are not clear at all. He is nice but he is really bad at explanations!!! Sit at the front and he will think that you are a good students. Once he likes you, you're in good hands!!
EASSYYYY AAA !!!! ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS COME TO CLASS.TAKE EXAM AND GET U R A
just take him. wont regret it. right after my final yesterday someone screamed through the door before he left "I F***ING LOVE YOU MAN!" enough said. CURVES GRADES = amazing. barely went to class. only studied for final.
make sure that u did good on the exam then everything will be fine
easy professor.. honestly no one shows up to this class. just pass the exam
An okay guy, let he isn't a good teacher. He is very unclear and explains poorly. You will have the benefit of his curves. Yet, you will have to learn the material on your own! You must refer to textbook and also use the practice exams to help you.
HES THE MAN! TAKE HIM, YOU WONT REGRET IT
take my word. Just got an A today. Gave 3 tests and also a take home and a final. His tests were easy but you must take your time studying because he does not teach. You must study by yourself. Attendance is not mandatory. He goes over the webwork problems. The final exam is departmental and it was actually easy.
I learned the course by the online tutorials on blackboard. And the practice final exams. He gave 3 exams, one take-home, and the final was easy. Never went to class. And if I did, I drew circles or mustaches. Tepper tries, he does, but he just seems burnt out and sick of the department. If you want to learn math, dont take if you want to pass,take
Does not curve, the final seems to be worth more than 1/3 and even if you do good on the exams in class and do all the hw, you still do badly if you don't do well on final.
Don't believe the hype, take someone else.
STAY AWAY-NOT AN EASY GRADER-Don't think it will be an easy grade, you might get a bad grade.
Awesome teacher, very easy going guy. He is there to help you if you want it, remember math is a subject where you get out what you put in. Tepper gives webworks and goes over practice finals constantly, take advantage if you dont understand something ASK, he will answer and always does his best to make sure you understand whats neededfor the final
worst math teacher/prof i had ever met! he doesnt care about attendance at all, i cut for so many time cos his explainations are not working at all. better read the text book and watch those tutorial clips from youtube for studying the midterms and final, that was wt i did in this semester! his midterms are pretty straightforward and easy tho
Just horrible professor, seriously
He is one of those teachers with tenure that stop caring after receiving it. His class lectures were a joke. He spends 5 minutes on the concepts, and spends the rest of the class doing Webwork. In addition to this ineffective teaching approach, he ALWAYS makes mistakes. He may seem easy but do yourself a favor and take a real professor.
Tepper is the man. He's a good teacher and even though he makes small mistakes and confuses himself which then confuses us but he is a nice guy. He does webworks and tries to help the students. He wants you to do good.
