The best thing I like about this teacher is his strong sense of mutual respect. Very nice person and try to make everything fair. His lecture are well contructed and easy to understand. He also make test question based on lectures, which is a good thing

Wow, what can I say except that he's one of the coolest teachers in PCC. Funny guy and his lectures are very easy to follow and clear. No complaints whatsoever, and not boring at all. Highly recommended!!!!

Very Nice teacher... His test are strait from his lectures. if u listen im pretty sure you wont have a problem passing the class. Very Easy if u listen.. and not stack off... i dink he is 1 of the easiest math teacher i ever had...good luck!

Very organized and clear. Tests are straightforward if you study your notes and do the homework. Overall, very nice and helpful.

Very clear lectures, very helpful instructor. Wants students to do well and understands that not everyone is a math whiz. Tests are appropriate and not tricky--do the homework and you'll do well. I hope to take other math courses with him.

cool guy and really know how to teach. I like his constant review of old stuffs that he went over be..

Very nice guy. Wanna get an A? Take him.

I like this teacher! He is one of the best math teachers I have even met. All you need to do is listen in the class and make sure you understand all the note. Then you will get an A! Plus, he is very nice and fair!

he is not organized and makes math even harder. not as easy as other people say.

cal II had some of the hardest materials you will ever see in the 3 courses of calculus. This guy will make the materials easier for you to understand by giving good examples in lectures..ask questions! if you're loststudy his notes and must must must do the problems! to be familiar with the concept

Talented, helpful, fair & understanding. No ego. Gladly attended study groups outside the class & stayed after class to answer questions--no questions were too silly, even basic algebra & precal. Showed you how to derive formulas so you wouldn't have to memorize them. What more could you ask for?

Grades only on test results. No homework, no quizes. Some of my friends thought he was really easy, but some were struggling. It depends on what kind of teaching style you like. I liked him. Very easy going and straightforward!

best professor at pcc!! this dude can teach and a super cool dude also

Erland, as he likes to be called, is the easiest and the most helpful professor at PCC. He will stay after class to help anyone, and his test are fairly easy. The final is the easiest out of all the 4 tests he gives.

He has 4 tests and the final. The lowest test is replaced by the final exam grade if it is higher. He does not assign any homework or require attendants which are the reason why I like this teacher. The test is based on his lecture so don’t miss a any days.

he is sooo cool! he doesnt give hw and he doesnt care if u dont go to class. there's 6 tests but no quizes. he's very helpful but if ur one of those lazy people who doesnt even put an effort in the class, then u'll fail...but then again u'll problably fail with any teacher

REALLY HARD MATERIAL, but Erland made it easy to understand. He teches you to dervive, rather than memorizing, which is a good thing. In response to the 2 comments below, please enroll in an English class, preferably ESL. Erland bases his test off his lectures, so if you miss class, then you obviously won't do well on the test.

very very easy..just study his notes... he only care about the set up on the test.. if the set up is right.. most points can be earned... very very easy.. strongly recommended...

Of course if you don't go to lectures, you are going to get a bad grade because most of the tests come from the lectures. HE is very helpful, always goes over the homework. He cares mostly about the set ups on tests, so make sure that that is correct. He doesn't assign that much homework at all.

great professor, I don't understand the bad comments. I took his 5A class a few summers ago and he made calculus easy to understand(this is coming from someone who hates math and who typically does bad in math classes). His tests were easy assuming you know all the hmwrk problems.

This teacher is very helpful in and after class. Will review for upcoming tests and uses questions from the previous tests for the final. You will pass his class if you do well on the tests. Homework is 5% of the class. 95% is tests. I have always had trouble with math but after getting free tutoring, I got an A.

great teacher. he is one of the best intermediate algebra teachers. he is helpful, his tests are based on the reviews u do in class.

He is a good professor and he can help you a lot. He wants you to learn things step by step, so he is a little mean on process. Test is based on notes. If you are poor at math, he would be a great help, and you can get a better grade. Not recommand for brilliant students, because you will have to "Show more work". ^_^

Awesome teacher..teaches well the math 125 book is prob the best math book ive ever had..it has many examples so dont worry about it..he reviews b4 every test and curves if every1 has bad test scores..gives hw but u dont have to do it..its only 5 percent..take him..he's really cool guy!

attendant not require, also dont need to turn in HW.

7 test 80%.final 20%,superfast teaching,lot of hw,but never due,only test is graded.no attendance needed,tests is ok,can use calculators,lowest test replace final,2nd lowest 75% of final,need strong trig/alg II background to pass,late to class sometimes,long time to return tests.answers any questions,do all hw not only eeo and test will be fine

I am surprised by the comments saying he is easy. His exams are much more difficult then any homework he assigns and any detail left out of the process of getting correct answer results in the loss of many points. Nice guy but very tuff grader.

really nice, often come to class early and you can ask him what ya don't understand.test is not hard but you need have good base.test sometimes make you think, but it's interesting. if he teach 5b . he require highly to show your work on test. if you do carefully , ya get high grade. I hope he teach 5c in the fall

he is really a good teacher even though he teaches quite fast. most of the problems in the tests are based on the notes. you don't even have to do the HW, just make sure understanding every problems from your notes. The tests and final are not easy, but you can learn a lot from him.

He is a great professor! Lets put it this way, I'm a high school student who FAILED out of Trig at my high school and got a B in his class. He does everything in his power to ensure that his students comprehend the material. Homework is optional but highly recommended! His tests are based on his notes! I recomend him highly! You WILL learn A LOT!

I had to drop his class not because he's a bad teacher, but I was juggling too many courses and club activities. My honest opinion..he's one of the most monotonous teachers. Lectures are super-dry and a minute in this class feels like hours. He doenst collect hw nor gives credit. he grades on a scale. i believe 3/5 the class dropped or failed out.

he grades mostly on your test and not your homework. he goes over everything that is gonna be on the test. so as long as you take notes and study those notes prior to a test and your fine. he works fast but helpful. pretty awesome guy especially during roll call. cool teacher to have.

I took his class this Fall. He is a good Math teacher, take his class if you already have basic Math knowledge. :)... easy to get A :)

Erland is a badass. His lectures are the most fun but he makes things simple and clear. If you have a question he is always happy to help you but during class, he may make fun of you a bit. He's the only math professor I've ever had that laughs WITH the students and has a personality. He's my favorite math teacher ever and actually is fun to talk t

THIS GUY IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER PERIOD. he's super chill and down to waste a few minutes just chatting. He's a great teacher and tries his best to make the material understandable. His tests are directly from the notes so take good notes. He is a great guy and super great teacher! MUCH LOVE DUDE!

super cool math professor at PCC. No one can beat him in this area! the class is calculus 3! he makes it easier for students! strong recommend!

took him in the short session and it was a breeze. he will literally explain the same problem over again 4 times until someone gets it and do it with a smile on his face. not to mention he is a very generous grader. def. will take again.

He got clear explanation,and tests were simple.Although there were about 1/2 students dropped the class, i got A in his class.

do not waste ur time this teacher does not know how to teach really hard test

I'm not sure what people are complaining about. This professor explains well, and grades fairly. Tests are based on class notes (so attendance is a good idea), and yes he assigns hw, but that's for one's own good; hw isn't graded or necessary to do. Overall, great teacher, great sense of humor. I recommend him to all!

He's an excellent professor. His explanations are clear and concise. His tests are similar to the examples he works during his lectures. He always responds to e-mails when you need help--even on weekends. He's friendly and always there to help. The people who don't succeed are those who aren't putting in the necessary hours outside of class. Duh.

Mr. Weydahl is such a nice guy, his class is relative harder and challenging than other professors,if u arent willing to study math, dont take him, he likes hard and crazy math questions,which i think is kool!study his notes rather than hw is helpful on ur tests, and he also curves a lot,so that most students will pass,if u r lazy,i dont recommend

i found the previous user is just trying to blackmail this professor,if he didnt do well in the math 8,how can he keep taking this professor up to math5,and it seems that he wrote all 3 comments at the same time. prof. Wedal is pretty good, his class is a little hard,but he is willing to help u til u get it,what u want 4 more,not study to get an A?

His lecture is pretty good, sometimes a little bit fast. But he's willing to help student and try his best to make questions easy to understand. Take care student, give out homework but never check it. Easy going professor. Like him so much.

Arlend is this best math professor you will ever take he teaches very very well!!! I highly recommend taking him. He actually cares about the students interests and questions!

Study his notes rather than hw questions are definitely helpful, his notes are hard,so do the questions on the test.however he pretty curves all the exams as well as final, so your grade wont be bad.

Awesome person. Tests are all based on his notes. No homework but strongly suggested to get the practice. He reviews before exams. Helpful and patience. I got an A.

Excellent professor all around. I highly recommend taking his class.

There is class to get As, and there is class to get easy As

Professor Wehydl is the best math professor I've ever had, period. He has a very ez-going personality. Every time he comes in to class, students would just casually talk to him and he would casually talk back as if he was also a student. Anyway, his lectures are ez to understand. He gives out hw, but they r optional. Tests r very straightforward.

Awesome teacher, best math teacher I have ever had. And very understanding too!

he looks like elmer fudd ahaha. he is an awesome professor! i got my first C but i deserved it cause i didnt really study til the day before the test. his notes ARE FREAKING AMAZING. he writes so nice for a professor and i tell you a lot of them dont. hes very easy going. a lot of the test questions were based off of notes. homework wasnt mandatory

This guy is great, I hope he has a wonderful life and I i thank him for making such a terrible subject tollerable. He's a wonderful human being.

really nice guy, very predictable class no surprises which is great, easy grader... easy class if you show up, pay attention and do the homework, and funny... i laughed a lot in that class. and if you have a thing for skinny, bald, guatemalans you will find him sexy too

I loved this professor. He's great with students. Relaxed class. Lectures are straight forward - goes step by step. Answers all questions. Minimal hwk (online), which is added to the test. Sorta hard grader, but curves a lot. Tests are 99.9% from notes. Attend to learn and you'll pass. He makes it an easy class, I just suck at math.

In the beginning I thought he was very unorganized, but later on, it's actually pretty interesting for me and i HATE math. he didn't use the textbook, but hw is online. Notes are written on board. He'll help if you ask. Tests can be a bit okay, because its only like 10-15 questions, but if you study your notes and hw, it'll be easy. overall, like!

Awesome math teacher. Very funny and interesting. He teaches well and grades on a curve. Important to go for lectures as he does not use to textbook. you should take notes and use them to study for the tests. He has an awesome personality and you'll love learning from him.

HE IS ONE COOL PROFESSOR. Dont need the book, can get away with library usage. Answers questions until we understood. Grades on generous curve. Gives a review of whats going to be on each test. Highly Recommended!!! He is smart enough to create his own math properties!!!

I took him a long time ago and I was recommending to friend but saw his name is miss-spelled. The correct name is Erlend Weydahl .

I saw some more reviews with the name Wehydl, Arlen . Same teacher he told us to pronounce his name something weird.

He is a very good teacher because he is willing to answer and explain questions. Grade is based on 5 tests only (including the final). His notes are the BEST!

Amazing math professor. Does go a bit too fast so you need to keep up and don't miss any day of lecture or you'll be lost. Hard grader but curves everything including final! Was failing the class but got 100% on final which brought my D to a B in class. Take him, pay attention, take notes (tests are on notes) we don't use book at all. Amazing!

He is a great professor.You have no pop quizzes & don't need to use textbook in his class. If you show up every single day, pay attention, and do hw, it's easy to pass his class.A test score is compose of your written work score+ your hw you've done online. He's willing to help you if you got stuck. I recommend this teacher for everyone.

Weydahl is one of the best professors i have ever had he was super funny, helpful, kind and caring. I would highly recommend his class. Awesome!

I am absolutely TERRIBLE at math, and even I got a C in this class. If you don't test well, do all the hw, pretty sure that's how I passed. He's super sweet & helpful, really cares about the students. If the class still uses mathXL online, DONT BUY THE BOOK. The online code is pricey enough, and it comes with an online book.

One of my favorite teachers to take. He bases all his test according to his notes so you don't even need to buy one unless you need extra hw problems to work on. Hw is not ever due is suggested hw so is up to you to study. His test are not that hard as long as you study your notes. Over all he's a great person and an amazing teacher.

i love this teacher so much he didnt gave homework and he alwys review everythin b4 d test. jst stdy from the review and u'll pass the test! clear lectures and evrtin

Very good professor. Prbly the best math professor Ive ever had. Lectures are very clear. Homework is done through my math lab. His tests are basic, roughly 10-15 questions. HW counts as 10% of your test. So HW does help! Reviews before test. If you do hw, and study for tests you'll pass no problem. Really great person, funny and helpful!

Got an A in this class and whoever said that his tests are hard probably didn't even glance a the notes. YOU LITERALLY WILL NEVER HAVE TO USE A TEXTBOOK. He is very nice and is there to help, though at times he stumbles upon himself during lectures he quickly manages to fix any errors he makes. It's pretty hard not to get a B, just study notes!

Great professor. Tests are only based on notes. Don't even need to buy the book. Grade is based on your tests only. But those tests are not hard and very straight forward. Lectures are clear.

Decent Professor, if you listen to his lectures, ask questions when you don't understand and do most of the homework (MathLab), it is impossible not to get a B.

Took math 125 during summer 2016 and it was a breeze with this professor. Does not let you use a calculator during test because it's basic math and he doesn't want you to become dependent on it. His test are based on notes and gives you a study guide before the test. He expects you to follow his steps to solve. I plan to take him again for 5A.

There is no homework. Your grade is based on 4 tests and a final, which is just questions from the previous 4 tests. There is no need to get the textbook since all of his tests are based on his lectures. Tests are easy as long as you study the notes. Overall, he is not a bad professor but you won't get much out of his class, just for an easy A.

You get a lot of freedom in this class. No hw collected and tests are based on notes. Your grade is based on 5 tests including final. He curves differently each time depending on how scores are. He's not hard but the math is, extremely. A lot of time to practice is needed. You need a lot of willpower and a strong work ethic. Solid prof butnotforall

Best Maths Professor ever,I took his class in the 2018 Fall and I got A. Maths is not my cup of tea I also felt like dropping the class on the first day of the class but I made sure I review my notes before every class .I studied hard for every test.

Great Professor, took him for Math 5B and 5C. In our classes, there was no homework and the tests were all based on his lecture notes. The book was not required. The final exam was based on the tests during the year. The most straightforward professor I have seen.

There's no homework at all and the class is based on tests, which is all based on his lecture notes. Really need the effort to study hard for them otherwise, good luck surviving the class. But in order to pass, make sure to review your notes before class, take notes, get a tutor if needed as well as a study group and you should do as fine.

Mr. Weydahl doesnt offer homework at all. You do not need to attend zoom meetings because they are recorded, but he high recommends you too so you can ask questions. Grade is based off on test scores & there are 7. You can look at his online notes to help you w/ the test. Not a difficult class at all.

No homework, all tests are open-note. He even gave us 24-hour grace periods for the tests. I did not show up to class once and just used the notes for the test. Test questions don't stray far from notes either. Pretty freaking hard to reach via email or Canvas inbox! If you have questions ask during the meetings ig

Prof Weydahl is a very nice professor. He doesn't give out homework at all, but there is 7 test to take. These 7 tests are open notes, which make this class easier. When you doing the test, he asks you to do the exactly same steps as he did in the lectures, but you can follow the steps on the notes it will help you a lot.

prof weydahl explains algebra very clearly. this my 3rd time taking math3, first 2 times i could not understand because the other profesors did not explain well. now i feel i really understand math thanks to prof weydahl. the bad reviews don't make sense to me since i took him recently, they probably didnt study and blame it on the prof.

This professor taught calculus 5A very easy to understand. I failed 5B with another professor. I will take 5B with Weydahl and hope to pass because he explains good the math.

His tests are easy if you go over the reviews he made. The final doesn't get a review tho, so you will have to look back on your former tests to review for the final. 7 tests given, and final grade has to be within 20 points of the final test score. You can cram for all the tests and might pass them, but pls give yourself time to cram the final.

Great professor. Course grade is based on 7 tests. As long as you study the notes done in class you will have a B or A. He does not use a book, but one note drive where all the material is on. No homework just study the notes at a good pace. Tests are similar to problems gone over in class. Very opened to helping all students. Super chill.

Too much to say, not enough space! He'd honestly give everyone an A if he could, if you learned material. Class is ~75/25 tests/final. Examples on notes directly on test. Test ~every other week. Studied ~8hours/test. I re-solved each example, memorized formulas, read through study guide. It's a hard class, not hard compared to other 5B, JUST STUDY!

The Professor is passionate about teaching math and is a treasure to the institution. Many students pass with good grades but many do not. It all depends if you put in the hours. The course is not easy or hard. You just have to study following the professor recommendations. Stick to the professor's suggestions and you should pass.

Basically a self study class, there are no homework assignments to motivate you to study. Exams are also based more on the lectures, less on the books. Personally didn't have a problem deciphering the lecture on one note, but I understand it can be different for others. If you cannot trust yourself to study, then this guy is probably not for you.

Amazing professor! Super passionate about teaching and really knows his stuff. No homework but you'd better do the practice problems if you want to pass. 7 tests and one final (75/25%) with very forgiving curves. If you're nervous about calculus or just math in general definitely take this professor because he's always willing to help!

I love this guy! he's the reason that I come to class, usually, I self-study but his lectures always keep me intrigued! The tests are based on his notes and the examples given from the notes, 10/10 dude.

Amazing professor! Really loved how structured he is with schedule. His lessons are notes-based. No need textbook. He is always caring to help you regardless what situation is. Grade is mostly based on 7 tests, but he is my favorite. I would take him again. His notes are all you need to do well.

No homework, just study for the tests / Attendance isn't mandatory, but I recommend attending the review session before a test / His tests are completely based on the notes and review, most of the time uses the same problems from notes / Only downside is that your course grade is test-heavy, meaning no EC opportunities, so study well for the tests!

Amazing professor! While your grade is based on seven tests and one final, his notes are straight forward and easy to understand. If you study his notes well, you will do just fine on the tests. It's definitely a lot easier than other 5B classes, but pls study by re-doing each example and memorizing the formulas. 100% would take him again.

Professor Weydahl is an amazing professor and helped me get back into math after a 4 year hiatus. No textbook required, just an online microsoft document where he will explain the steps to a math problem. Keep in mind that there are only 7 tests and a final so it is imperative that you look over the examples done in class.

I took math 5a with Professor Weydahl. The course was graded only on test scores.Overall, it is not an easy class and over half of the people dropped it. However, if you like math or are a dedicated student, I recommend taking this course. Just make sure to go over the professor's notes which make the material much more digestible than a textbook.

I took Calculus 5A and 5B with Professor Weydahl and received a B in both semesters. Though his class is test heavy, it's not impossible to do well (or get an A). His instructions are clear and simple. As long as you study, you will do well. Erlend is also extremely helpful as he is always in his office hours willing to help!

His class is very "to the point". He doesn't require homework and it isn't necessary either because his lectures and notes provide everything you need for the class. Exam are efficient and simply assess your knowledge and ability of 5B with no extras. Grade curves were lenient too.

I think Erlend might be either loved or hated. I personally was so scared before classe since I haven't done any school in the previous 4 years but he made math easy to understand and his notes heleped me for each test. He is also very clear about what he puts in the tests and helps A LOT. I really eccomend to take a class with him.

Prof. Erlend really cares about his student. Just go to his office hour and ask for help! You will get a good grade in his class if you put in some time.

Weydahl is a great teacher for those who learn quickly and prefer to be graded on tests rather than homework. 7 tests worth 75% of grade, + final exam worth 25%. He goes through pre-written notes in class and provides online access. Can do examples from notes for hw. More of a review of high school.

Great and friendly professor for Math003, cannot recommend him enough. His teaching style is mostly of lectures and you'll pass as long as you do some review before tests. He is patient and gives clear explanations. Do not hesitate and take this guy!

Notes are organized and he reviews what you need to know before every test. There's no homework so the grade is dependent solely on tests. The class is relatively quick paced the first few weeks but it's mainly review from high school algebra. Be disciplined in reviewing the lectures and the tests will be simple.

Grade is entirely dependent on 7 tests throughout the semester. No mandatory hw or attendance. He has a funny attitude and great personality. Would recommend if okay with grade being dependent on tests.

Erlend is an excellent professor, attendance is not mandatory...you could just come to test days unless you need lecture, or no homework...his tests are based on his power point so as long as you study his notes and understand everything, you'll pass with an A.

Erlend's MATH003 class is straightforward - tests are the main focus, but unstuck study and review of his organized notes make it manageable. Engaging lectures and clear explanations keep the content accessible.

Review left by salte professors, hes really easy. take him if u want ez A

If you review his notes for the exams and practise you're gonna be fine. He always tells exactly what he'll ask. Even the problems are the same just with different numbers.

He's a great professor, explains clearly and no homework. Pace is fast, so ask if unsure. Tests match class material with some terms/formulas to memorize (has study guide). Review notes, redo examples and practice a bit you get an A. Attendance isn't required but helps with rounding; lowest test can be replaced by final (‑25%).

Overall great professor. But you have to be truly interested in math, and do self study.

He does not assign any homework, however his entire grade is based on a select few exams and the final. As long as your study for the exams, you will be fine, but if you do not, then don't expect to receive an easy A (or maybe even pass the class). Bottom line, he is a good professor that is always accessible for questions after class ends.

If you want an easy A, this professor is for you. His tests are exactly like his notes so a lot of it is memorization. Professor Weydahl is very easy to talk to so if you have any questions, he will be happy to help.

Took for Honors credit and to fulfill G.E. requirements. Initially was worried I would do poorly and would not enjoy the class, but I ended up really loving the class and doing well. Prof. knows his stuff and the notes he gives to study are EXTREMELY clear and helpful. The class isn't very hard if you pay attention and study the notes.

It doesn't matter if you want just the credit or to learn: take Calc II with him If you just want to pass the class, you can get an easy A (0 hw, 7 tests) because he tells you clearly what the test will look like. Tests are exactly like the reviews. If you want to learn, he always goes above and beyond in lecture and with questions after class
