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.

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

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.
