Mr.Smith was a great professor. He was always willing to help student and very encouraging. we used skeleton notes and did not use the text book once. homework was online and his office hours was very flexible and he's easy to find. he os funny and cool. overall i'd recommend him for anynoe espically if you're not that good in math.

Great teacher! Very easy to understand and has a strangely amusing sense of humor! I never wanted to miss his class

Fantastic teacher! I wish he taught the sequel class MATH 272. He is funny and enjoys teaching math which makes learning so much easier. He answers questions clearly.

He's so funny but a little akward. i suck at math so class was difficult.

I am not a fan of math, but he makes it fun. Very helpful, he is fast at replying to emails if you need help.

Great teacher. Very helpful, amusing sense of humor and really wants you to understand math. Makes time in his schedule to meet with you if you have questions or need help with something. Very good at responding to emails. Posts grades in a timely manner, too!

It was my second time taking this class. I was worried, but he graded his exams fairly. It's best to show up for class because he goes over notes, and does not post on blackboard. He is a nice teacher, willing to help his students. Highly recommended.

He is sooo funny. but he doesnt mean to be. hes akward but really nice. he tries to get students to like math. class was hard for me but I got a b

i was in the developmental math lab/class. this was pretty much all on computer and self taught, but the questions i did have were answered clearly and i did better in math than i've ever done so it worked for me, and he made it easier and understandable. i would def take another of his math classes if i needed to.

Mr. Smith is great. I took the developmental class, so it's all on the computer. He's super nice and always willing to help both in class and during office hours. I normally hate math, but he actually made it enjoyable. Definitely taking classes from him in the future. I recommend him.

One of the main things I like about this professor is how willing he is to take the time to explain something to you if you didn't understand it in class. There was even one time he read a paragraph of Alice in Wonderland to the class, which was an innovative way to try and clarify ideas about logic. He's very flexible about turn-in dates as well.

Very knowledgeable, very helpful, very clear. It was developmental math using MyMathLab, so there wasn't much time he actually lectured or taught. But he did remember me and reached out to help a few times. I'm taking him next semester to finish out developmental and plan on taking him for MTH 166. This is what you want in a math teacher!

He is absolutely wonderful. He took over my Mth 173 class for the semester. He wants you to do good and learn. Willing to help and gives great notes. This is who you want for a math teacher! Just put forth the effort and he'll help you understand the material. Recommend to everyone!!! .

I absolutely love him. he taught at my old high school and all my friends loved him so i thought id give him a shot. and behold, hes the best math teacher ive ever had.hes easy going, easy to talk to, and actually cares about how you what you do. the only catch is that all hw is online, so you have to make sure to keep checking whats posted.

Everyone rates him highly because he is a nice guy and really wants to help. Not the world's greatest teacher, though. He teaches by doing problems, and doesn't spend as much time covering the basic rules.

Really helpful and fun professor. I love his teaching style and his random jokes in the class!

Prof Smith is the best ever!!! always available to help. I absolutely love his class.just read his handout and do the online homework. I did not have to buy the book for his class still, i had and very good grade. VERY RECOMMENDED!!!!

goes the extra mile to make sure students understand the material. Also gives extra credit which really helps if your like me and do not like math.

Ah Professor Smith. He is a really great guy. His quizzes are online and so is the homework. Study for tests. No textbook is required whatsoever, I hardly used mine. Keep both eyes open during class and study, and you should be able to get an A or at least a B. If you can't, then either you didn't try hard enough or abondon all hope for yourself.

You don't need a textbook but you have to get mathlab access code, and you need to complete quest online quizzes (there's 8) for $25, but he'll explain that in day 1. Overall, it's an easy class! His study guides are similar to the test and his final is easy! He lets you email your quest answers to him and he'll check over it before u submit.

He's the third best math teacher I've had so far! Didn't use the book, but definitely used MyMathLab. Sometimes he allows a cheat sheet/card, so you really shouldn't fail his tests unless you don't attend class at all. He understand students have a billion different things to learn, so I appreciate that. Very helpful and I'd take him again.

If math is not your strongest subject, he is the perfect teacher. I was nervous at first but I have never had such good math grades! He gives handouts every class and all the homework is done online. MyMathLab is a very helpful tool when taking this course. His quizzes and tests are easy and he tells you everything to know before taking them.

Professor Smith is a great professor. He gives a lot of extra credit and teaches very well. You don't use the textbook , but you do need a mathlab access code (the book is included in this). We had to do online quizzes but it wasn't timed, and we can ask him questions and he'll help us on it and check over the answers before submitting it. TAKE HIM

He's very easy and could be funny sometimes. Id recommend him to anyone. He does give much grades but theres always homework on mymathlab. but over all hes pretty easy.

Got easy A there, well, I actually work for it. He is an awesome, and easy professor. Very understanding, and yeah, if I have to take another math class, I will take it with him.

It's a simple class if you're somewhat a math person. He gives out powerpoints every class and plenty of notes to use on the exams. If you put the effort, it's an easy A.

Highly recommend! Easy class, and if you fail it's your own fault. Do the homework, and even attend the reviews he goes over stuff and there's usually extra credit opportunities. I know other people who take his higher levels and love him too. Very clear, and excellent study guides.

Math 242 or Stats II is actually pretty hard to comprehend. So many different kinds of 'tests' to learn. The homework was tough, but professor Smith actually responds to the email and you can ask him if your homework was right or wrong. There was one mid term and one final both were quite easy.

Tests are just like the study guide, nothing to worry, he's really easy if you go to class and pay attention, and he's hot too! you do need an access code though.

If you put forth effort you will do well in this class. There is a fair amount of homework; however, Professor Smith is very helpful and will answer any questions you have. Study sheets he gives out before tests are very helpful and if you study those you will do well on the tests. Gives plenty of extra credit. Great professor and would take again.

I took the 6 week summer 241 & Prof. Smith was beyond helpful! He always goes the extra mile to make sure you understand things! I never left class confused on a topic! There are long notes with lots of example questions which is going to basically be how your tests are. Another plus is he does offer a fair amount of extra credit! highly recommend!

Professor Smith is probably the greatest Statistics professor at NVCC Woodbridge Campus! He is super helpful when it comes to making sure you learn the subject. You are allowed one cheat sheet for every test (including the final). MAKE FRIENDS AND YOU'LL SURVIVE. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU SUCK AT MATH!

My experience was very positive because he doesn't race through the material and provides great explanations. Very patient if you don't understand anything and need to visit him in his office. Overall, a good and supportive teacher I can highly recommend for stats.

Good teacher. If you're struggling(which I am) he works with you so you understand it better. Let us retake the first exam and have a cheat sheet for the third. I personally am horrible at math so this class was very hard for me.. Sometimes his lectures don't make a lot of sense but if you talk to him about it, he'll be more then happy to help.

I just have one thing to say. If you take this class, you can be better in the future and if you are not good at Math, you should to take this class. I like him.

Mr. Smith is very kind, he's willing to go over where you went wrong so that you can learn from your mistakes. He wants you to succeed.

He is a great teacher, albeit a little fast. I had a rough start, simply because I hadn't been studying due to personal reasons, but when I went to go and talk to him about it, he was very understanding. I ended up having a pretty solid understanding of the class, but you have to really work for it. Use the materials and DEFIENTELY take good notes.

The textbook for this class, although expensive, is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Most of you homework will be dependent on either the software from the online textbook or will be online. Professor Smith wants you to pass; he'll help you throughout the class. Make some friends in the class, pay attention, and you'll be fine.

We didn't use the textbook at all, so you should just buy the standalone MyMathLab code so you don't waste money. What he did instead was bind all the notesheets in his curriculum into a book and sell that in the bookstore for $6 or so. Much lighter, and we didn't need to worry that the homework wouldn't have what was on the book as a result.

Professor Smith is one of my favorite professors at Northern Virginia Community College. Professor Smith applies his creativity to lectures and is strong in many areas of math. I definitely recommend him as he does not waste your time during lectures and keeps students engaged.

Let me tell you this man has a mean swing. During his office hours on the practice court he puts the balls above the line on that wall. This is the only class you can raise a racket in. He dresses on point. This man is willing to dive for saving your grade. Bring extra socks. In all seriousness he is a good professor for statistics take him.

Prof. Smith was great. He really made me interested in statistics and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand. I do not know how you would pass without attending class just because it's statistics but his lectures were great, I really understood what I was doing when I left.

Makes understanding some of the stuff super easy. Tests were just like the study guide, only complaint would be that he posts the answer key the night before the exam. Lots of homework but he gives you enough time do it, just don't procrastinate or it'll pile up. Watch your grades because he messes up sometimes.

For a student that's constantly C-range at any math course, he is still the only professor that I've managed to get an A with for the subject (this being the hardest class I've ever taken as well). Describes things in an accessible way, gives you a lot of notes to reference, and exams will look very similar to what you're given for practice.

Seriously such an amazing teacher for stats! I'm doing way better in this class than any other college math course I've taken. The only thing is that he is terribly pessimistic and jumpy at times because he gets stressed easily but he knows what he is doing and is worth the time.

Overall great stats professor. There was a lot of my Statlab homework, but doing it really helps you on the exams. He also gives out study guides which were helpful. There were only three exams the whole semester and about five projects. The projects were straight forward but time consuming.

math is hard but he makes it easy. his lectures are super helpful. always provides many extra credit opportunities. is accessible via email ALL THE TIME (seriously- thank you!). is helpful during office hours & provides study guides. doesn't take attendance but lectures help a lot. TAKE HIM!

Professor Smith is a true gem. Always available in office hours, he loves to teach. He will respond to all emails within 24 hrs (very accessible)! His lectures are very informative as well. He truly is one of the best professors I've ever had and I'm thankful to have him again for calc next semester. If you take his class, you can't go wrong!

Explains things well and goes into detail with the material necessary for class. Gives a decent amount of homework and tests have been hard so studying on your own time is needed, but answers emails within 24 hours and is always eager to help you understand.

Professor Smith cares a lot about his students. He is very lenient with due dates, gives extra credit work, and provides study guides and videos to help us. He also responds to e-mails very quickly. The class itself is a hard class but he really tries his best to help you understand the material!! :)

Really cool guy. Better than any other professor for Calc 2

Professor Smith is a really nice guy and pushes back due dates a lot, he gives these course notes that go over everything really clearly. He gives out some R coding assignments but they're pretty easy.

He's absolutely the best Math professor for higher math. His method of teaching is absolutely wonderful And he is very lenient and straightforward plus he encourages student to give their best. Almost too good to be true. Take him and you wont regret!!!

Really good lecturer and available outside of class. Very easy to work with overall.

You just have to get his own textbook from the bookstore for $8. Very chill professor. Takes his time. Approachable and responds quick through email with any questions. Provides extra vids for extra help. 2 exams and 1 final. Just pay attention carefully, you'll do fine.

Hes so awesome. Im going to miss his class very much. He makes everything so simple and easy. The exams are exactly the same as the homework, and he gives you a study guide on top of that. I would take his class as much as I could if I were you. Hes such an amazing lecture and very caring professor. Attend office hours!

This was my second time taking Calc1 at NOVA. He is without a doubt is one of the best professors I've had at NOVA. He understands students don't get material and goes over it to make it easy. Show up, pay attention do the homework and you'll do fine. I would take him for any math if possible. Overall a very good professor.

Top notch professor. If you're serious about learning take him!! His lectures are well executed. He ensures that you have a solid understanding of the material. Always willing to help and quite generous with grading. Homework/study guides/quizzes are very helpful. Attend office hours! An ideal math professor really. Will truly miss his class.

Very caring professor . Take him and you will do good .

THE BEST IN THE WORLD HE'S EXTREMELY HELPFUL WOULD RECOMMEND HIM MTT STUDENTS I WAS A DAF AT MATH BUT HE WAS REALLY HELPFUL AND MOTIVATING AGAIN HE'S THE BEST IF ANYONE'S TAKING MTT OR MTH ESL STUDENTS I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM

This guy is better than prefect. I was really bad at math but I don't how he fixed me all I would say he did the impossible god bless this guy.

HE'S JUST AWESOME.

Professor Smith is by far one of the best professors I've had. Math isn't my strongest subject but Professor Smith made the course very understandable and easy for me to pass. There is home-work every week on Pearson, 6 data assignments that are worth a lot (but very easy if you pay attention in class), 3 tests, and the final exam. Take him!!!

Professor Smith is the best math teacher I have ever had in my learning experience. The course itself gets complex with time but he works with you throughout. The workload was not too heavy. Overall, 6-7 data assignments which he discusses in-class plus math lab hw. Clear on deadlines.

Great professor cares about his students. Work load is a bit much and the video lectures can be boring at times but if you pay attention and do the homework you will have no trouble doing well in class. Responds to emails and wants the best for his students.

Professor Smith is hands down one of my best math professors at NOVA. He's very caring and straightforward. As the course slowly gets harder, the more caring and lenient he becomes. He gives excellent feedback on any exam/assignments/hw you have trouble with. Do not hesitate to email him, he will help as much as he can.

He was an awesome Statistics teacher. He made difficult concepts simple, and was totally willing to walk you through the steps to solve. He gives plenty of extra credit, and will provide feedback on work before you submit. There are multiple ways to get the material based on how you best learn math / have time. I would totally take his class again!

Professor Smith's was very straightforward and somewhat easy. He's very quick to respond to emails, and even lets you send him assignments for feedback before you actually turn them in to be graded. Definitely recommend him

READ THIS! He is an OUTSTANDING professor for Calc2! He gives back great feedback to help students succeed in his class, his notes and methods are easy to understand and do, the homework & notes are very similar to exams plus there open notes! Trust me when I say the bad reviews are NOT TRUE. Calculus is hard, you have to know your stuff. Take him!

This guy is good! Don't expect him to be your friend, to say the least, but that doesn't matter. You pay for the class you learn you do the work you get a good grade. What I love about him is I actually learned what I was being taught

For calc2, this guys great. Gives you videos that help you with homework, tests are pretty much the same as study guides, plenty of practice problems. Hes not gonna be ur best friend and not the most accessible outside class, but if your willing to put the work, youll be fine. Calc is hard, but for calc 2 hes great

Online lectures were long-winded but he's good at explaining. Lots of extra video lectures and HW. Quick to respond to emails, but short worded. Lets you send data assignments for feedback before you turn them in, which helped. Exams were stressful and unorganized, but I got A's on them all. Data assignments were easy. Good teacher for statistics.

Great professor and puts in effort to help you succeed. He does lecture videos and ZOOM calls. Material is hard and time consuming, BUT he provides all of the proper information. You cant be lazy in his class or you will fail. This is not an easy A, expect to put about 10 hours a week aside for this class. Professor is straight to the point.

I'm an older student taking preReqs for a second degree in Nursing and haven't taken a math class in years. Professor Smith was excellent. Clear, courteous, professional. He went above and beyond to help student's grasp the material; especially difficult in an online environment. Highly recommend.

I thought he was a really good teacher. He explained things well and answered questions in a good manner. There are a lot of assignments in his class but nothing too extreme to handle. Watch the pre quiz videos, do ALL the assignments, ask questions, and go over the test review. If you do that I promise you, you'll do well in his class.

This guy is very good. People on here are going to act like this guy was mean or something. He isn't. Do the work. The people who are complaining are the people who 1: don't want to understand calc 2 2: did not understand calc 1. These are the people. So yes, you have to really know calc 1. But if you do, with effort, you will do great.

Professor Smith's class was probably one of the best I have taken in a while. If you email him assignments before submitting them he is willing to give feedback so you receive a good grade. Very accessible through email and over zoom! The study guides help before exams and so do the quizzes and homework asssignments he assigns.

Great professor! Having a good understanding of Precalculus and Calculus 1 is vital when it comes to this class. There can be many assignments at times, so an effort must be made. The study guides and homework are great practice for the exams.

He was a good teacher, just a lot of work.

He's not as bad as the ratings make him sound. Kind professor, understands you have a life outside of class. You just have to make sure you do your homework, and there's a lot but it's all necessary for you to understand the material. He had study guides for every test and overall wasn't a bad professor.

Professor Smith is straight forward with his grading and lectures. Written homework, online homework, 3 midterms. He gives opportunities to make up exam grades or provides assignments to bring up grades. Gives time in class to complete assignments and ask questions if needed. It's hard to fail this class.

Great professor, clear, organized, structured. Graded by exams, hw, and assignments which are all well balanced through the semester. Cares about his students and if you pay attention you will realize his class is easy. I took Calc 1 with him last semester and passed easily. He provides video lectures too and gives time in class to work. Very fair.

I took a pre requisite with professor Smith and ended up passing the course. His grading rubric was extremely clear and the HW platform used was easy to understand and if you turned it in on time you always got a 100% HW 35% Exam 1 15% Exam 2 15% Exam 3 30% attendance 5% Highly recommend taking this course

I am horrible at math and never understood what was coming out of the proffs mouth. But he is super helpful and caring! Responds to emails almost immediately and is always willing to meet for additional help. Since there are many assignments, it is easier to accumulate points. The subject itself is difficult and has nothing to do with this proff.

He made the class so understandable. He provides lecture videos, endless study guides and is always open to answering any questions. If you ask questions and do the assignments, you should be fine! highly recommend

Professor Smith was so clear and thorough in his lectures. He genuinely wants all his students to understand concepts and pass his class. Study guides are almost exactly like exams, and homework/quizzes go with each lecture. There aren't many extra credit opportunities, but tbh you probably won't need them. He's also easy to reach out of class.

Professor Smith is helpful and willing to provide feedback. Stay on top of the assignments, use the study guides, and you'll do well. The class is challenging, but manageable if you put in the work. unstuck ai was a great resource for exam prep.

I'm not sure what the negative reviews are about. This professor is wonderful. I was struggling with family stuff and did badly on a project and he reached out to check on me because he was worried. Super easy grader(would have gotten an A if I hadn't been having so personal issues) truly wonderful teacher 10/10

Amazing Professor. He's really kind and cares for his students. His lectures may be a little boring but before every test he puts out multiple ways to study. I would've failed if i hadn't had him as a professor for sure.

As long as you keep up with the work, attend regularly, and communicate with him, he will reciprocate the energy 10x. It might a little bit more of a workload than some are used to, but it's only building you up for success. By far one of the best professors.

Professor Smith was very receptive and really went over the material to make sure it was understood. He made an effort to explain harder units and really wanted everyone to be involved. His exam review was also super fun. He responds to all his emails, sends out reminders, and gives us a heads-up if we need one. Glad I got this professor!!

This professor was amazing! The way he taught in class was very understandable and the homework was a good test of what we learned in class. He was very willing to help people and make sure they understand. The exams were really easy and fair. The last exam did not even have calculations- only concepts, since the homework had calculations.

He is an amazing and understanding professor. I am not the best at math, but he was always there to help. I had a great experience with him. Make sure you keep up with the work and communicate with him.

He is a great professor. he gives extra credit, and actually knows how to teach. He can come off as “rude” through email sometimes. You MUST: - come to class - do the homework's - do reviews if you do those on time the tests will be easy. if you are a procrastinator, I suggest (from experience) make sure you have the mindset to actually do the hw
