Very hard class, that is if you don't pay attention or don't GO! If you are there everyday and keep on track, his teachings work. If you fall behind it's very hard to catch back up because he stays on track and keeps going and going. Great guy, funny at times, just very straight forward when it comes to the math.

He is a very nice guy, very funny and most of the time entertaining. Knows his algebra well, but you should know about algebra before you take his class, some of the stuff he justs expects you to know. Grades pretty good, if your not doing to well, ask for extra credit, he'll give it to you. Gives a study guide for each test. Final exam is easy.

But you can outsmart him for instance teach him a different way of working out a problem and he will respect you:)

Enthusiastic about his subject, very helpful if you've got questions. No tests..

All homework and quizzes are online, and tests are done in class.

Would take again

He is by far the best professor I have had at CF. The quizzes are exactly like the test (same layout and everything), and he goes over them in class before the test. If you need help he will walk you the through step by step until you understand it. 10/10 would recommend if you want a good grade in College Algebra.
