He is a really nice teacher and is more than willing to help with any problems you are having with the assignments. If you pay attention in class it will be an easy A because he explains things until he is sure the class understands. If you start to slack off it is hard to catch up for the exam.

Awesome dude! Definitely willing to work with you on anything. HE wants to help as much as possible! Homework is really easy and the work book is cheap! Pretty easy section of math. Tests are typical math tests, you kinda have to know what you're doing but go to class and let him teach you the subject- you'll do great!

Honestly the best professor I have ever had. I tell everyone taking a math class to take Professor Sorensen. As long as you go to class you will understand the material. The textbook is mandatory but one of the few textbooks you will use everyday. His review sessions are identical to the exam. He makes the class relatable and fun. Highly reccomend!

Sorenson is an amazing professor who is very laid-back. His class is offered in person, via zoom, or completely online depending on what works best for you. He responds quickly to emails and gives great feedback.

I took Math100 through zoom, which was really amazing. You also don't have to even go to the zooms, just read the notes which he has posted and do the quizzes on time. Quizzes are unlimited attempts. Very easy.

Professor Sorensen is an amazing professor and honestly one of the best in the math department. I would gladly take any math class he is teaching. He allows you to attend his class in-person, zoom, or not attend at all and treat the class like a distant learning course.
