Ethan is the best math professor I ever took at GCC. He cares about his students and truly wants you to do well. He writes down every step and explains everything clearly. Gives lots of reviews for the test. If you do the review then you should do fine in his exams. Copy down his notes exactly and pay attention to do well in his class, you'll pass.

Professor Pope was phenomenal; he exercised proper care in his lectures and really gave his best effort in making sure his students left his class educated and well prepared. Overall, he is a really understanding person, as long as you attend each class, pay focus to his lectures, study, and do the homework you should receive a satisfactory grade

Literally does not teach at all. All you do is copy notes and he barely even speaks to the class the entire time. You learn absolutely nothing and are left to teach yourself. He can't explain anything and is very monotoned. Not only that, but he's an extremely tough grader. Take someone else unless you are willing to teach yourself

To me, his teaching style is kind of lazy; just does problems on the board with no context/explanation. Very strict grader. Overall has a nice personality, if you have a question or need clarification, he'll be happy to help. Exams nearly identical to study guide! I have mixed feelings about this professor, try and pick another one if you can.

I took 110B. Professor Pope got the class prepared for the next level of Calculus. His teaching is different, but he goes through step by step if you don't understand what is going on. There is a lot of homework, but it is spread throughout the course. A GROUP quiz is given every Friday. *No quiz = Regular test day. * Happy calculating!

I thought he was extremely monotone so it was hard to look forward to class. I don't recommend taking this course during the summer. However, if you must, make sure you seek help if you are struggling ASAP. I do think he wants his students to succeed, but gives tons papers and hardly reviews them. He does log funcs so much more than any other prof.

Took his Calc 1 class over the summer. Mind you, I haven't taken much math (it's been 8 years) and had I took it with any other professor, I'd have failed miserably. He truly cares about his students, though he is tough. He wants you to understand the material, which I respect. Overall, great person, well-spoken and god bless.

The only good thing that I can say about him is that he tries to help you succeed. The lectures are horribly boring, he assigns WAY too much homework and would mark your attendance late if you arrive 1 minute after class starts. He only reads whats written in his powerpoint presentation and thats it. I dont recommend his class at all, AVOID!!

He just hates the idea of weekends being spent on better things than solve over 10 pages of equations. Boring lectures, half of the class in their phones, absolutely 0 interest in class and it feels like he deliberately makes you hate him and his class.

His homework's in Pearson MyLab are so heavy you have to give it a whole day, plus his paper homework is very very heavy too making me cut sleep to manage all my classes. Lectures are extremely boring and most of the class is in their phones because of how monotone he is. He doesn't even explain he just reads what's written in his powerpoint. AVOID

Professor Pope has a unique teaching style, but he breaks down concepts step-by-step. Lots of homework, but it's manageable. Exams mirror the study guide. unstuck study was a lifesaver for test prep!

I took Professor Pope in the fall, and he was an amazing professor. I'm not the best in math, but his class made me enjoy statistics. There is a lot of HW, but he extends the due dates and is always willing to help. He also drops the lowest exam score. He's incredibly kind, you just have to put your part!!

He genuinely wants his students to succeed, so I applaud him for that. However, he teaches with a monotone voice that makes it easy to lose focus in his lectures. Avoid his summer class, unless you enjoy drowning in papers and stressing for his weekly exams, which he grades under a microscope. Five weeks is too short for the amount of work he gives

tough grader, answers will have to be formatted exactly as he wants it. a lot of quizzes and tests, some group quizzes. homework, but they are mostly graded on completion. long lectures, and constantly went over lecture time. i will say he is always there to help before/after class, is a nice guy and rounded my grade to an A.
