WARNING: Dont be deceived by his rates he doesnt know how to explain anything. Students are often correcting him and all of the notes come straight from the book. Dont take him unless youre willing to learn everything on your own. Trust me!!

Hard grader and is not generous with points. This class was not easy and he makes you work hard for it. He may seem like a nice person but he is not forgiving whatsoever and he does not care if you fail. Take another professor who actually cares about their students.

He makes exams and quizzes harder than his study guides and can lie about topics for final exam. Go above and beyond to review sections from previous exams though he says not to study all yet he added new work to final. Beware when taking his class as this is more catered to students who're math majors tbh, he even says so.

makes learning very hard. Do not recommend if you are trying to transfer because he will mark unnecessary points off your test. even if your answer is correct, he will go to your work section and find a mistake, such as symbols etc.

hes as disorganized as disorganized gets. is very unfair with his tests (doesnt create the test with respect to the time given). he does not know how to teach diff eqns and has to rely on his notes the entire time

he's always smiling and making jokes here and there but his lectures are really heavy he wants to cover a bunch of chapters in 1 hour and I had him Monday-Thursday he should have spread the content, currently retaking math 125 with Daniel Judge and he is a far superior better teacher. Highly recommend not to take Carter if you appreciate your GPA!!

Had him Monday-Friday, it was a lesson per day and very heavy material, didnt know how to answer questions and often got frustrated when I asked for furthur understanding. Expect to spend most of your week at the Math Lab if you really want to pass because his office hours werent the most reasonable.

A professor who would try to cost your score for any reason he has. He would reduce your score because your handwriting is not good, your Mathematics Symbol habit is different from him. He did give us smiles a lot, but you can notice the smile is for gloat, but not kindness. Oh, another thing. He teaches by reading PDF.

I wasn't a student, but I know D. Carter (Jr., he has daddy issues and gets upset if you forget this) very well. This guy's a total fraud! He can't teach without the book and he's very incompetent at reading math. Seems he has 0 publications and 13 years between his Masters and PhD from low tier colleges (thanks to affirm. action probably). Avoid!

The worst teacher I've ever met, Late work is not acceptable and he'll take points off every mark of correction you made, and if you miss a step, he'll subtract more than half points of your whole work. He just likes to take points off.

I'll be honest I didn't really learn anything in his class, if you're good at learning everything by yourself maybe he's your guy

Dont do it. He lectures using PowerPoint and basically just copies and pastes whats in the textbook. Doesnt explain well, goes super fast, and he puts the more difficult questions on the actual test/quizzes and puts easy questions on the practice tests/quizzes. Definitely done on purpose. You think you get it and then BAM! You thought you got it

don't waste your time take your math with someone else. he just copied and pasted the book onto powerpoint and barely explained anything

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, it was horrible. My class started with 30+ students and ended up with 5. Horrible teacher. For exams, if you dont submit within the time frame he automatically deducts 10 points. He should understand the circumstances we are in rn with the pandemic, internet can be slow at times. Oh and he makes some weird noise

Never never never took his class!!! Math 125 should be an easy class but ended up very very hard because of this professor. It is so hard to get an A on his exam, he take off your points as possible as he can. He dont even how to teach he is not a great professor. You need to upload a pdf file otherwise you will receive a zero on your exam.��

I didnt choose his class for purpose, I selected another one but ELAC change the Professor two weeks before. Then I check his review before and knew he is sucks. And it turn out thats true, you have to follow his steps with every detailed during his exam, otherwise you will loose a lot of points even if you get the correct answer.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. My class started with 30+ people and ended up with 5. When it comes to test you have to turn in your work within a time frame. If you submit after the time frame he takes points off. If your work is how he taught us he well fail you. The test are harder than the study guide.

I regret to choose his course, from 30+ students to 6 students, the sample questions of his lecture in class are very simple, but our homework and exam are very difficult. The test score change is very strict. Missing a step will deduct 1-3 points, although your answer is correct, Don't choose his class, you will regret it!

I have never gotten lower than a B or withdrawn in math or any other course in college till this guy; take it from me. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Listen to the reviews. Currently enrolling at RIO just to avoid him. It was my last semester and I got accepted to every college I applied to all for nothing. Now Im held back all for ONE class. BEWARE!

1, the professor will let you know that his calculus II test is difficult. 2, more homework questions only 3 points. 3, some questions are particularly difficult in tests. 4, points will be deducted for many reasons during the test. In summary, more homework, fewer grades. Exams are difficult, points are easily deducted.

**WARNING** Reviews posted after August 2021 seem to be fake since they all read the same, are equally positive and are posted on the same days. Look to anything before July 2021 for an honest review. Overall Carter has very difficult exams, not the greatest at lecturing either. Be warned he puts notoriously difficult questions on his exams.

Test difficult, heavy homework. On the class, he always write, and show his work. no good, do not take. only 4 point credit.

Not understanding at all, makes class impossible to pass.

He is a grammar policeman in tests, so if you somehow misspell a word in a rush, he will do everything he can to deduct your points. You get four midterms and a final. He also gives four mock tests, which are free credits as long as you put your name on them. The mock tests are not related to the tests and the fourth test is the hardest one.

Do not take Carter. His grading is horrendous. He will find whatever ridiculous reason he can to dock points from you. He expects an unreasonable amount of work shown considering the time limit for tests. I understood the class material very well, but I ended up with a C because of his horrendous grading. It would have been as easy A anywhere else.

His exams aren't actually that difficult at first, but the problem-solving steps are very long. Also, the way he grades is extremely unreasonable. He takes off points for even the tiniest mistakes. I think only one person ended up with an A and he doesn't curve. I don't recommend taking this class unless you're a genius or willing to not get an A.

This monstrosity of a professor takes your grade off just by sneezing on the exam. He wants students to respect him while constantly acting all entitled. He literally writes his own reviews of himself on this website to offset his bad reviews. No students would write like that. DO NOT TAKE HIM! You will never ever get an A, lucky if you get a B.

Tough grader. Complicates things more than they should be. Need to attend all lectures. Not clear even though he repeatedly says he is crystal clear. Overall not great at teaching. Avoid if possible.

Do not take this professor because his lectures are hard to follow and just shows a slideshow for class. Tough grader when it comes to tests and is condescending. Doesn't care about students at all. Drop the class while you can.

Harsh grader, expect 50%+ off on correct answers for minor errors. Questions are moderate, but timed tests w/ proctoring software multiplies difficulty a lot. Lectures are okay, but office hours are unhelpful. For projects: no problem-specific info (even examples) & expand polynomials. 5-star reviews are fake, as explained by other reviews.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! Reviews are way underselling him, will take off points if you SNEEZE on papers. Usually never have issues with "hard" teachers but he is a different breed, you WILL NOT get anything higher than a C unless your work is perfect, and then he *might* consider giving a C+.

I'm writing this to save your mental health and money. DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY! I'm pretty sure like 5 people out of 38 passed his class. He makes things difficult for absolutely no reason. Also, this is a math course, and he grades based on people's handwriting. Try to take the class at your transfer university or another college in the district.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Take another class in the meantime, or take the class at another institution. Do whatever is necessary to avoid this professor. Heed this warning; I implore of you. He will dock points for anything. It is impossible to pass his class. Stay far away from Carter.

With confidence, I can say that Carter behaves maliciously toward students. He wants them to fail. I have never experienced such abhorrent grading practice. There is no amount of effort that you can put into his classes that will be enough. He will take off points if what you wrote looks ever-so-slightly imperfect. Do not take any class with him.

First time writing a class review because this was the worst I've ever experienced. I like math but this was just terrible. Any imperfection in handwriting or spacing will cause you to lose many points - even if it is obvious based off context clues. He does not give enough time on the test for the number of questions, length, and difficulty.

Do not take this course with Carter. Total waste of time, money, and effort. In my experience, correct answers were ignored and points cut for petty details. Reviews make him sound bad, but it's worse. I regret enrolling. Learn from my mistake: stay away.

If you let this professor grade the president's math test, the president would put 200% tariffs and take this to the Supreme Court because the professor's grading should be a crime. Even if you understand the concept and ace the tests, you lose 10% to 20% of the points due to him nitpicking on your format and handwriting.

With confidence, I can say: in my opinion, Prof. Carter does not come to teach - he wants students to fail. Grading was unfair, points taken for nonsense while real math didn't matter. Reviews don't show the full picture. If you value fairness or your GPA, avoid this professor at all costs.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR! Grading felt arbitrary and punishing. Points were cut for trivial things like subscripts while actual correctness was ignored. Reviews are underselling him - I later found many students had the same complaints. Save your GPA and sanity: steer clear of Carter.

He will take off points for the most arbitrary of reasons on the exams. You will literally lose a significant amount of points for "sloppy" handwriting. His entire lecture is him just copying from his notes. Do not take him if you care about your wellbeing.
