Honestly he is one of the most relaxed, understanding teachers I have had. He understands if you can't make it to class once in a while or if you have to leave a little early. If you have any questions, just email him, he's understanding and straightforward. Trig can be tough so just study, come to class, and ask questions.

Derek is one of my favorite professors. I took three of his classes as a dual-enrollment student and he even welcomed me to sit in on his Calculus class which I found enjoyable. I hate waking up early, but I didn't as much mind as long as I was going to his class. He teaches at a fast pace, but as long as you put some effort in, he will as well.

One of the worst math teachers I have ever encountered before, he doesn't have an organized teaching style but instead just goes over topics as if they're review to everyone.

Prof. Rampal's MGF 1106 is a very easy class. All you have to do is just watch the videos from MathLab and do the hw and take the test (extremely easy). Attendance is not mandatory at all. There is no cumulative final and he gives ALL EXTRA CREDIT on ALL TESTS. So, you can get a C- on a test, and with the extra credit, get an A (happened to me).
