Mr. Bridges is an great teacher. He is very patient and helpful. One of the best teachers ive had. He cares for his students. He does not make math serious, but rather fun and enjoyable.
I really appreciated that Doug made himself available to everyone by being in the Math Learning Center. Although, the MLC has tutors, I felt getting clarification from your specific teacher was more beneficial. His re-explaining something to you, in a way that everything else had been explained, was very helpful.

Doug was a fantastic teacher. I serve in the public school system and I am happy to know that the kids I serve will be moving on to teachers like DOug. He could be found in the Math lab when he said he would be there and was always willing to help. If I could not make it to class I would email him and he was responsive quickkly. Thank you!
Mr. Bridges was a great teacher. Read the chapters and do the homework. Quizzes and tests are easy if you do. Nice handouts.
this was a great class
Clear and concise
Cares about his students not only in the classroom but outside the classroom aswell.
His goal is to help you succeed.
Great teacher. Extremely willing to help.
Doug is a caring instructor who is committed to student success. However, if you like very lax attendance policies, he may not be a good fit.
Great Teacher, kept things on track. Part way through the quarter he adjusted his teaching techniques to accomodate the classes learning styles. Great Job Mr, Bridges!!!!
Great Professor who is very clear and straight forward. I would recommend this professor for anyone who is needing to brush up on their math skills. Uses handouts to explain Sections so you wont have to read a 40 page section of the text book. Quizzes are half based on your knowledge and the other half is based on your home work. Over all Exelent!!
Mr. Bridges is by far the best math teacher that i have had he helps you tremendiously and has you take tests like most teachers do but he shows you what you got wrong and has you correct them because he wants you to understand the material. He is all about helping you and having others help as well. He is a really good teacher!
I had not had a math class for 14 years when I had Doug. He is a very organized teacher and his handouts are extremely helpful. He puts in time and even seeing him in the math lab during the 2 years at GRCC he still says hello and asks how my family is doing. I appreciate his dedication and time invested in his students.
I would never recommend anyone to take his class. He is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. Very unorganized, wanted the students to teach the other students, and then tried to buy off those students at the end with gift cards. I would never take a class from him ever again, and you shouldn't either.
Worst Teacher I have had.. He is very unorganized and rude. He doesn't get back to you and even when he isn't do anything during class he acts like he doesn't have the time of day for you for even the simplest questions. He doesn't let students know when he makes changes to due dates, and doesn't submit the right papers for tests. Not recomended!!!
Doug Bridges was a really great teacher, I have not been in school for over 16 years and he really helped to understand math. He would meet me any day I needed to. I also made sure to have his class for Math 70 and I will have him as a professor for Math72 as well.
He aims to help you succeed in any way. He is very nice, respectful, and respectable. Lucky you if you get him as your teacher. He sometimes will whip out little life lessons or stories that help with life in general or college life specifically.
I am taking his Math 70 class at Green River Community for the summer and he is by far the WORST teacher ever! I hate his teaching style. He is rude and always making sarcastic comments.
I also took his Summer '13 Math class. He's one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Half hour life lessons that are completely irrelevant to the class, taking 5 minutes to explain how to do the problem incorrectly and then blowing through the correct way to do it in under a minute leaving the class confused.
I had absolutely no interest in math. Mr.Bridges made it easy to understand and gives all of his students every possible opportunity to learn Mr. Bridges is a great teacher and wants every one of his students to succeed. If you don't pass his class it is because you had no desire to. I would highly recommend taking his classes. Thank you Mr.Bridges
Mr.Bridges is an excellent teacher. His teaching style helped me learn math that I couldn't understand before.He is very helpful and gives you every opportunity possible to pass his class. I can only hope for such a teacher in my future math classes or any other courses for that matter.TAKE his classes,you won't regret it.
He played a large roll in building a strong foundation in math. I feel confident moving on to higher math class because of him. He wants all of his students to learn and gives you every possible chance to pass his class. if you want to learn and have a hard time with math like I do take his class. I was a D student and pass his class with an 4.0
He only graded the tests,quizes and the final!!
very friendly.........
He was awesome.
Mr. Bridges does his best to give each and every one of his students the greatest chance to pass his class. He also helps his students enhance their ability of teamwork, having them help each other throughout the quarter. I recommend him as a math teacher.
This guy is a quack. By far the worst teacher I have personally ever had the displeasure of knowing. He teaches like he should be teaching elementary students. He spends about 10 min. on the actual lesson and the rest he makes you study with other students. I actually felt like he deconstructed what I had just learned at the end of the day.
Very helpful, Does everything to help students succeed. Demonstrates life instruction shows how much he genuinely cares about his students and their success.
Doug is a great guy and a better instructor. He shows his genuine care for his students by incorporating life experiences and support in every way possible. He is respectful and supportive, giving every student under his care every opportunity for success.
He is a very good teacher. I would love to have him again for math 070. I will recommend students to take his class, what ever class he is teaching.
This was the easiest class I ever took so far.
Mr.Bridges.. he is the best instructor I have ever had. I enjoyed having him as a teacher. He is very helpful. He feels for others. I would strongly Recommend him. it's bad that he is not taking math 70 this coming quarter. I would sign up for his class in a hart beet.
Great instructions. Thoroughly explains equations. Very good instructor.
Worst teacher I've ever had!!!! He is so rude and condescending. I have never been treated so poorly as a human and not just a student. He changes due dates without letting the students know. He gives pointless lectures that have nothing to do with the topic of the chapter. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!!
Mr.Bridges is an excellent teacher. He teaches in a way that sets you up to excel in future classes,very thorough, and gives you plenty of opportunities to get help and do well. His personality isn't for everyone,while it was offensive to some,I enjoyed it. He genuinely cares about your success.I think you have to work harder to fail than to pass.
Amazing attention given to student success. Goes above and beyond to help in every way, offering support and wisdom for success in life in general. Can't say enough for this generous, caring individual! A bit unique, but it adds to his character in a very good way!
Doug Bridges very nice man. Funny and good grading policy.
Doug Bridges was my favorite teacher this quarter. He gives you plenty of opportunities to succeed. He's extremely helpful and willing to work out of class to help you grasp class material. He encourages everyone to work together in order to aid struggling students. He has a dry sense of humor, and likes to talk. I recommend him as an instructor.
This quarter was a challenge for me as I experienced unexpected major health issues, I was actually gone for about 1.5 months all together. Mr. Bridges emailed me to keep me updated, he did everything he could to help me not only pass but understand the material. He is so understanding and so helpful. I was able to catch up and do well on the tests
Super great professor to take at green river. He was always willing to go an extra mile to see his students succeed. Definitely registered for him again for math 72!
Very friendly and simplifies lessons fairly well.
Awesome professor
While Professor Bridges can definitely allow the other students to take him off on some tangent, this is definitely the class for you if you struggle with math. He's clear and a little high school in his explanations sometimes, but you will not leave this class without learning what you need to. He also helped me when my uncle died unexpectedly.
Great teacher! One of the best I've had and I wish I could have him for every math class!
He is nice to talk to when you need help & optional finals available
He tries to crack jokes and fails lol and the only problem is that he takes way too much time to explain a concept by using some indirect methods which usually don't work He is good if you want to just get done with a class and need help outside the class
he is a solid teacher. He really tries to help you.
Don't take him of you want to breeze by. I had a rough start but I actually absorbed the information and was able to remember it instead of learning for the moment.
First of all, Thank you so much Mr. Bridges. I love having to attend the one class that is being taught by a professor Mr. Bridges. The way he taught us math , personally i found math is very interesting. You're genius Sir ! I am happy to have you my professor for next quarter.
He is good, enthusiast, car for the student
Mr. Bridges is a very good math teacher. Math is not my best subject and yet he was a very helpful instructor getting me through my math requirements. He really wants students to pass and do well. He will work with you and allows other students to help you in class. He allows students to do extra credit to help you pass and achieve a higher grade.
Great teacher, thought I sucked at math til I had him. Some people get bored with how he explains and re-explains stuff, but if he didn't do that, I would have probably failed!! Nice older guy with a LOT of patience and tolerance for everyone. (Including ungrateful students)
Great guy, and a great instructor.
Ask for help and he's on it. Use classmates before asking him. Explains everything multiple times and is very willing to help. Use the tutoring centers, help others in class, don't be afraid to ask questions. Wonderful guy! Going to miss him!
Mr. Bridges is a kind professor who actually cares. He wants everyone in his class to succeed and move on to the next math class. He offers a final opt out for those students who have a 3.5 or higher and have helped others in the class with math. Be sure to raise your hand on the first day and offer to help others.
Mr. bridges is an engaging and easy to follow instructor who makes Math available to all students and learning abilities. I was not one that thought myself good at math, but I got a new respect for it and enjoyed math for the first time ever. He offers extra credit and a pass on the final with some requirements so a raised hand day 1 is important
I really enjoyed Mr. Bridges' math class. He was easily able to convey the material to us. I like how he can not only handle the 17-21 year olds but he was very respectful of the older crowd (30-40 somethings). He also gave us a golden nugget that I will take with me - networking with your peers is a vital tool in class success.
This space is too small for all the reasons I feel he is the best math teacher. I never did well in math, it was always confusing to me. Now it is my favorite subject and I look forward to learning more. You must pay attention in class, there are a lot of helpful tips you will learn. I am so grateful to him for this new skill.
Mr. Doug is such a awesome math teacher at GR-CC. Also, Mr. Doug will get after you when at times you don;t get the concept. HE IS A REAL GEM!!
One of the most perfect instructors that I have taken classes with. Good feedback and available anytime to help.
Doug is a fantastic teacher. He speaks slowly and intentionally with all of his instruction. The workload in his class is reasonable and fair. He is clear about his expectations and strongly encourages study groups. I learned a great deal in his course and found it easy to earn a 4.0. He is also very witty and clever, which made class enjoyable.
Mr. Bridges is the best teacher here at GRC. The amount of work is fair, and actually necessary to learn the subject. He gives practice tests right before the exams that are almost identical to the exams. He encourages study groups which really help. He is very funny and witty which makes class entertaining. He spends a lot of time on one subject.
Mr. Bridges was always looking to help you if you wanted to learn. If you were reasonable, so was he. If you got booked with homework, from other classes and missed your math homework, ask him, and he will most likely reset it for you. Point is, if you want to learn, than perfect, if you want to be on your device, he will kick you out. Simple.
SHOW UP TO CLASS!!! It's that easy. It's a math class, so if you miss something, you'll fall behind. Mr. Bridges is VERY fair with his grading, awarding partial credit where you missed it by a little bit. He also has a bad habit of extending the deadline for homework until right before the test, so on that end he's very lenient. Would take again!
If you go to class and do the homework, Mr. Bridges' class is extremely easy. He (usually) bumps homework assignments until they're due the Sunday before tests. He's very eager to work with students and has a policy where students who achieve a 3.5 GPA or better can SKIP THE FINAL if they actively help students in class. Excellent teacher!
Mr. Bridges is a wonderful math teacher! Always struggled with math but because of this class I finally have a better understanding of it and passed with an A. He's very helpful and has a good sense of humor. Clear grading material. Not too difficult if you show up to class everyday and do the math homework. Highly recommend!
Mr. Bridges' goal is to have everyone pass this class. He encourages working together, asking questions and taking advantage of the tutoring/lab close by. He is available in the lab before tests in case there is a last minute need to go over something on the test. Learned the material and enjoyed doing it!
Doug is an amazing teacher! he is very helpful and he really wants all his students to pass his class, sometimes he might be a little slow and use some examples that might be confusing when trying to explain something , but overall he is a very good teacher, really understanding and with an interesting sense of humor!
At first he might seem weird and unprofessional. But don't let your feelings decide for you. After some time working with him I'm 100% sure I'll take next math class with him. He cares if you care. He'll teach you anything if you want it. He's not gonna beg you to study, but if you follow simple rules and directions then you'll be good. He's nice.
Great professor, really enjoyed this class.
Mr. Bridges is an amazing professor!!! He really cares for his students and wants you to pass. Highly recommended taking him!
First of all, im probably the worst college student but being in this class really helped me to get my priorities straight and focus on college more. From the first day of class he got to know everyone and scheduled one on one meetings just to get to know each one better! Really cares about your education! HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR BRIDGES!!!!!!
Very helpful.
Doug is awesome! Took Math72 last quarter, taking 97 this quarter. With him you WILL learn math no matter how bad you are. He cares about his students so much, wants them to learn, be better, not just at math, but at everything in life. And he does it all from his heart. Great teaching methods, hilarious things, effective tests. Won't ever regret!
Doug Bridges is a wonderful professor who cares about students academic success. He makes sure that each and every student understands the material and puts in effort to help in any way he can. He is not just a professor, but also a friend to each student, wanting each student to feel comfortable with asking for help. I recommend his classes.
Doug Bridges is a wonderful professor, who really cares about his students. He is very helpful and makes sure that everyone understands the material.
Doug Bridges is the most caring teacher at green river! He wants you to succeed and is also funny. Take his class!
Awesome professor!
Easy class and easy homework not a lot but a little every night, he always helps you understand if you ask questions however I took math 97 not 92 but i had no option for that class in the description
He is just amazing. he is kind, careful, and the sweetest professor I've ever had before. I love him.
just take it. he is awesome
He is a great professor!! I am a student who hated math, but Mr. Bridges' class changed my mind. I enjoyed this class, and learned a lot. Take his class!! Easy! Fun!
Great Teacher! Very caring and interactive with student. Will crack a few jokes in class and makes class and learning enjoyable. Is very easy on homework and will help you in anyway possible. Gives a lot of opportunity to catch up and make up homework. Would defiantly sign up with this teacher again! Revised 4.0 in both classes I had with him.
Doug is there to help you learn the material, you need to go to every class though. He's always in the math lab tutoring, when not in class teaching. Awesome teacher!
Bridges really cares about his students. He is heavy on lectures so attendance matters for your own good. Just the right amount of hws, thorough and clear lectures, so it is up to you to practice for extra time to get a decent grade. He is always there to help you with math struggles and is very helpful too. I would definitely take his class again!
One of the best instructors I've ever had. Learning math with Doug is very fun, easy and interesting! He's so close with his students and loves what he does. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Doug!
Probably one of my favorite teachers. Mainly because he actually cares about getting you a good grade, and he has a personality. He's typically available in the math tutoring center for help. On test redo days, he spends the entire class helping whomever. He doesn't like phones, and he expects homework to be done before class. Typical class rules.
Great teacher with much patience, highly recommend.
Many don't like math, so did I. But with Doug's lectures I understood it and liked it a lot. I've never had a more supportive, caring, helping teacher before. I'm very happy I took both 72 and 97 with him. I wish I could take all my math classes with him, so I'd be sure I could learn everything in the best possible way. Take care of yourself, Doug!
Doug is the best. Don't get annoyed from the first impressions. Once you know him, he will be the best for you. I miss him so much and my current math lectures feel so sad and empty��
Doug is the best. Just take his class and you will finish it with good knowledge, good grade, and experience of having a great professor
Hes a great teacher. His lectures are good and taught in a way that makes great sense. He does a seating arrangement and it sucks but it is done to mix good math students with students who struggle for a teacher and peer environment to help foster learning.
Great professor. even if it is hybrid he is great help and makes things easy to understand. Definitely would have him again.
One of the best instructors you could ever have, and not just in math but in any subject! He cares about his students, and communicates well. Expectations are clear, and he's funny which is always a plus. I seriously wish he taught every math class, couldn't recommend him enough!
I loved having Professor Bridges as my teacher! He was awesome and super caring. He took the time to help with homework and questions that I had. Mr. Bridges understands that we have lives outside of school and this makes him very relatable. Definitely take his class!
Mr. Bridges is a great teacher. Takes his time teaching and going over problems with you. He is on time in class; if he says he is going to be there at a particular time, he will be there. If you need help, ask.
Took Professor Bridges for Fall Quarter (Hybrid Math 097). I would recommend this professor. When you are confused, hes finds a different way to explain the problem and he relates them to real life application. Very kind and willing to go the extra mile. Dont be afraid to ask questions, very approachable.
This is the first time I got an A in a math class EVER. This instructor went above and beyond for his students and truly cares for the success of his students. I made sure to get him on my next math class as well. I truly appreciate taking his class.
He's truly awesome, will help you pass the class if you're willing to put your efforts in. The most understanding teacher ever! Definitely my favorite teacher.
One of my favorite teacher that I would like to take his classes. Very kind and respectful to all of his students as well as VERY PROFESSIONAL when he answered my questions. Thanks professor for everything.
Disclaimer: I took a hybrid math class. I haven't been in school for years so relearning everything was a challenge and overwhelming, but Mr. Bridges was supportive and understanding the entire way through. He always offered to help and gives you multiple ways to increase your grade to ensure you pass. I would highly recommend him!
This professor is by far the best instructor that I have ever had in 7 years at Green River College. He really cares about a students life other than as a student. He is very accessible and knows how to teach each student according to their level of math. This instructor makes math fun and makes you want to learn.
awesome professor, did everything they could to help out with deadlines, hw, and studying.
Good instructor that really cares about his students.
Doug Bridges is by far the best math teacher I have had over the course of my school years and that's very hard to come by. He was very helpful and a real great person, If anyone out there is looking to take a required class and he is option don't hesitate to take is class.
Professor Bridges is such an amazing, supportive, caring professor. He really cares about the success of the students' education. The class was not hard; it just took a little dedication. Whenever I got stuck or didn't understand something, I emailed him, and he answered right away. I would totally take another class with him again!
I'm so glad I chose Professor Bridges for my math class this quarter. He has not only been flexible with me when I have had work, family, and other extenuating circumstances but has actually helped motivate me, & really makes me feel like he cares! He'll do whatever he can to help you succeed. I wouldn't be where I am in life&class without him.
I had been out of school for awhile and took this class as a refresher. Prof. Bridges let me work at my own pace and was always quick to help me when I reached a difficult chapter or had specific questions. Overall, great class and professor!
Before his class math was really confusing due to the past math teachers I have had, but he really cares about his students and is very helpful. The thing I liked about his class was that he taught us to work together because working as a team is stronger than figuring it all out on your own.
Doug Bridges has been amazing. You will work for your grade, be Doug really wants each student to succeed. Not only is he there to help, but he's selected other top students to help as well.
He is very nice, very caring for students. If you're bad at his class he will try his best effort to make you learn, he will assign you personal tutor for free. If you ever get late to turn in homework he needs a fair email and he will open up the homeworK right away.
i was having difficulties outside of school which affected my performance in the course, he was very understanding and worked with me in getting through the course. I'm very appreciative of this!
i was having difficulties outside of, which was affecting my performance in the class. he was very understanding and worked with me so i could finish the course.
Douglas Bridges is one of the nicest teachers in the green river until now I have met. The way he teaches is very helpful for those who are struggling with math or those who haven't taken math for a long time. He goes into every little detail to make a student understood. I completely forgets how to solve for square roots and he showed an easy way.
Professor Bridges is very helpful and cares for the students. Take him if you struggle with math like I did. I now have much more confidence in math because of him.
I never was good at math before I took his class. He is the best.
If you are clear with him he is very understanding for you. He tells you multiple resources that are available to you. Very helpful in understanding.
I used Ratemyprofessor to choose Doug Bridges and I was not disappointed. He does care about you as a student and with your math. If he taught the next class I would take him again.
I failed the first test, but Doug encouraged me to do better and gave me some tips for studying and getting help. He helped me outside of class & paired me with a good student. I ended up with a B. He wanted me to do good in the class. He was concerned about me as a person and understood the difficulties I was having outside of school.
He treats you like a 13 yo by having assigned seating but he does make sure you know the process even if he goes over it 55 times.
I never did well in math before this class. Mr. Bridges really cares about hit students. One of the best things he did was the first week he sits the students who struggle next to a good student. This quarter that good student helped me in and outside of class and really made a difference for me. I would definitely take Mr. Bridges again.
I had Doug Bridges for math 97 which would not show up as the course code. He was great! I would take him again! He explains things very clearly and detailed. He encouraged us to work together! The people who were better at the math would sit with people maybe not so good at it so we could all help each other out. Doug is great! Take him!
Doug is a very standup guy. He will take the time to explain things one on one with you. I suffered medical issues and Doug was very good with working with me and allowing me to complete his course. Out of all of my teachers at green river he went above and beyond to help further my education.
