Very good teacher. Takes the time to go over any difficulties one may encounter. Knows many variations fop a solution on many formulae. Very punctual.
Easy class; he gives take home tests/ quizzes. Especially during the summer his class is easier and he wont keep you the entire 2 hours; 45 minutes MAX!!
great teacher!!!!
only 6 weeks into the '05 spring semester but he is EXCELLENT-gives take home quizzes and lets you correct the ones you missed for half credit-does't keep you the whole 50min-i plan to take him for my intermediate and college algebra
Great
excellent teacher, highly recommended
This is the greatest teacher ever! I took Elementary Algrebra with two other teachers and fail the class...I took his class sum 1 - A, inter sum 2- A and colleg alge fall- B. TAKE HIM!
He went out of his way to help us understand.
he is great he gives take home test and quizzes all you have to do is be there. On the test you can also use notes the best.
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is awsome, always there for his students..He is the one to take for math
Best teacher ever! Helpful, generous with his time, caring, and very kind to the math impaired among us. Lots of patience, and even more humor. He needed both with me in class! He doesn't expect you to have a math brain when you come to his class, but if you pay attention you will have one when you leave. Go Mathgod!
Excellent instructor, you'll never find a better teacher. Easy to get an A if you are willing to do the work.Goes above and beyond to help if you do not understand the material.PS ladies he is very easy on the eyes
He was the best math teacher I ever had I loved his class. If I had to do it all over again I would take him over again. I have to take College Algebra next semester so I am willing to take him on Tues and Thurs., because those are the only days he teach it. But he's just that good.
This is my 2nd semester with him & he is the BEST!!!
Had him Summer I for Intermediate Algebra. Must attend to keep up; give take home tests that follow the study guide he goes over; bonus opportunity; Highly recommend; take breaks and leave early most days; only use book for minimal homework (mostly gives take home sheets); definitely the best; answers and helps out if needed; A+++++
I had Rathfon Summer I for Int Algebra. He moves fast and attendence is a must if you want to keep up. Normally don't do well in math, but he explains well with a great sense of humor. Do work and come to class, you will do fine. Ended surprisingly with an A. Go Rathfon!! You rock! I will be looking for his name in the Fall for College Algebra.
He was the greatest intermediate math teacher I ever had. He taught very well and explained tips and tricks for many problems. I would definately reccommend this teacher!
I took this teacher for Intermediate Algebra and he is great! He's easy 2 work with and understanding. He talks a little fast somethimes but you get used to him! =)
The best teacher ever if your dumb at math u leave knowing everything about math I loved the class he explains any questions and gives excellent notes
He is great.... Doesn't mind helping you with work. Teaches you ways to work problems and remember them.... Hes FABULOUS!!!!
Had for Intermediate Algebra and fell in love. I jumped from Pre-Alg to Intermediate and was terrified but Mr. Rathfon's teaching style makes sense. He gives examples until everyone gets it before moving on. I've never had a math instructor like him before. I will definately try and get his class next semester!
He is a great teacher. I am not so great at math and I'm not particularly fond of it either. I have an A. AWESOME!!! I am currently taking elem. algebra and I was very worried, but he's made it easy and a little enjoyable. I will be taking him for Inter. Algebra. I recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Mr.Rathfon, A delightful teacher. He does not instruct he teaches. I would like to thank him for the wonderful job he's doing and elect him Math teacher of the Year. He deserves some form of award for what he does. He teachers on all levels,which is hard to do when your classroom consist of different people on different levels. Excellent Teacher!
very good instructor--helpful--goes the extra mile to help you understand the material
Mr. Rathfon is awesome!! I'm terrible in math, and because of him, I have had all As in his classes, and I came out of his class understanding the material. We never use books. He's brilliant. He comes up with examples in his head, and shows you the easiest way to understand what he's teaching. I wouldn't take anyone else but him!!
He is the best!
Glad to have met him and has restored my interest in the subject.
Excellent instructor
Mr. Rathfon - the Math God!! He's awesome. Check out his youtube videos, they are very helpful!
Took Mr. Rathfon for Intermediate Albegra Summer 1. Use to HATE math but now understand it and love it. He explains everthing to where YOU understand it. Do not buy a book. He teaches from his head. He is Brilliant! Super Smart and very Nice! He will teach you and you will learn! I reccomend him to everyone who asks...Take Rathfon!
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He explains everything so well. It doesn't matter if your a math wiz or a person that has a strong dislike of math he will guide you into a very high grade. Take him every time you can.
EASY TEACHER. TOOK HIS ONLINE COURSE. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND HIS NOTES ARE GREAT. HE RESPONDS TO EMALS VERY QUICKLY, AND I WILL TAKE OTHER CLASSES TAUGHT BY HIM, IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF.
I took his online Elementary Algebra class, excellent instructor. His emailed video tutorials were very helpful. I would definitely recommend his class. Sorry I never met him.
He is totally helpful and has a You tube channel for math problems. I wish I had him for all math classes!!
excellent teacher, very helpful and i would recommend him to anyone scared of math.
Mr Rathfon is an awesome teacher! Very nice, doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. He doesn't use the textbook at all, just mathlab online. His tests are easy and he gives study guides for all tests. He emails videos on how to do the work which are helpful. He responds quickly to emails and grades exams quick. I loved having him!!
Mr. Rathfon is the very best Math Professor. He is very passionate about teaching and makes every effort to help each student excel. He is easy to understand, breaks the material down for you and in my opinion should be nominated for "The Best Teacher In Arkansas"!!!!!!!!!!If you have to take algebra, you should get him. He's the BEST!!!
Everything that you read about is true. He is the best instructor you can get. He gives out study guides for test, sends you email video's,and you can see him on his you tube video's. Take him and you will not be sorry.He cares and will help you get a good grade.
Very helpful and has a You tube page with math problems..very funny and helpful videos. answers questions quickly..TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!
Awesome Teacher!!! He loves what he does. I'm not good at math AT ALL, but Prof. Rathfon is show patience when teacher, dont mind repeating himself and want you to learn what he does. He give extra credit work. His Youtube video tutorials are the greatest. He's not easy, but the way he teach, makes algebra feel easy!!! He responds to all emails
One of the best teachers I will ever have. I struggled with algerbra back in high school but this guy made it so easy that I laugh at how hard I made it for myself. I reccomend this teacher to anyone who thinks they have a problem with math.
Best professor I have ever had! Very patient! Explains everything step by step! Helps you understand! Makes math FUN! Great personality! Goes above and beyond! My experience with his class was excellent!
Best professor I have ever had. Very patient. Explains everything step by step. Willing to go above and beyond to make sure you understand the class. Also willing to help students who have moved on to other math classes.
He is amazing! He wants to see his students go to the next level and wants to help get them there ! Take him/
HE IS AMAZING ENOUGH SAID.
Very patient and clear instructions.
He is so great!!!!! Helpful, smart. He knows how to TEACH, not just read at you from the book. A far far cry from the first prof I had. If you have a chance to sign up for one of his classes, DO IT!!
So awesome! Best math teacher I've ever had in my life! Math is not my forte and he made it so easy!
awesome awesome awesome. if you are taking DEVE classes, take HIM!!!!!!! He teaches without you even realizing you just learned. He is the best!!

Even though the class itself was hard, anytime I asked a question I got an answer within 24 hours, and it was explained so thoroughly that I understood it.
Mr Rathfon was a great instructor whom I enjoyed learning from.
When it comes to Math I am an idiot. After taking his class I am confident with my math skills and actually enjoy math now! He is the Professor you want to take without a doubt.
Ratfon was a great instructor whom I enjoyed learning from.
Mr. rathfon is the best. I got a 100 on all his tests and I'm not even that good at math. He goes above and beyond to make sure you can access his lessons.
I love it that he'll let you work ahead and will help you no matter what section you're on.
Trouble with Math this guy is awesome will help you to the fullest.
I would take Rathfon 100 times again! He is super laid back and extremely helpful. As long as you do your homework, and want to learn you will do just fine in his class!!!
When I say, I HATED math before I took Rathfon but afterwards, math and I have a great relationship! IF You struggle in this area, please take this man. He is the Bomb dot com!!!!! He takes the time to really help you and guide you. I never thought I would fast track math but I did and passing every test with an A. I Fast- tracked Intermed. College
I GOTTA SAY HE'S FREAKING AMAZING!!. FOR STARTERS, IM PREGNANT, BUT ALWAYS DID MY WORK AND STAYED AHEAD AND HE NOTICED MY EFFORT. TOWARDS FINALS THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WAS TOO SICK OR HAD DOC APPTS. AND HAD TO MISS CLASS, BUT HE DIDNT DROP ME AND HELPED WHEN I GOT BEHIND. HE IS SUPER FUNNY, CARING, AND DOES ALL THAT HE CAN TO MAKE SURE YOU PASS
Mr. Rathfon is AMAZING! I struggle so much in math but he made class enjoyable and he didn't confuse me at all. I took him for DEV & College Algebra. TAKE HIM! You will pass!
Funny, very good teacher, mostly online work, test are easy
This man is so awesome. If I could I would retake him. I struggle in math for years! He made it seeem so easy. I passed college algebra with A still in shock.
Made math so much easier to understand
Make Rathfon your first choice! Attendance is mandatory if you want you attendance grade to be an a. He explains everything very well for College Algebra. He also cracks jokes and is always in high spirits. He takes the time to post youtube videos of him teaching practice problems that are on Mylabs plus. Tests are similar to the study guide.
He is amazinggggg by far the best math teach Ive ever encountered. He is willing to work with you and makes math effortless. Just pay attention and youre good!
Mr. Rathfon is a great teacher. He made videos that he uploaded on YouTube. Without these videos I wouldn't have passed this class. Would take him again if I could!
OMG! Awesome instructor! My biggest fear in returning to school at age 50 was having to take Algebra. Mr. Rathfon makes this class easy to pass if you show up and keep your homework caught up. He has a passion for teaching Algebra. I wish I could have him for every single class I have to take!
He was Great!!
He is an awesome math teacher!!! He works with his students and he wants everyone to pass. He is a very patient math teacher, he also explains the work very well. It had been over 3 years since I'd sat in a math class. I passed his class with an A. I'd highly recommend!
Mr. Rathfon is an excellent teacher! Pay attention and do you class/home work and you will pass! He is very helpful if you don't understand. I like his teaching method. He breaks it down to where you can understand it. Math is not my favorite but it's not my least favorite either.
He is super nice, so helpful always. If you don't understand, he will help you without making you feel like you shouldn't have asked at all. Love his class. Would definitely take again.
Great professor! I took the class ONLINE. He provides very thorough youtube videos to help with each section if you need it. I will most definitely recommend him to others.
Amazing professor. teaching style is great
Mr. Rathfon is one of the best teachers Ive ever had. His lectures are very clear and simple and if you do the work you will pass, as easy as that. He goes out of his way to help with extra zoom sessions and he posts youtube videos. He gives bonus points on tests! Just show up and interact and he will be glad to help! I 100% definitely recommend!
He was amazing! I hate math and he made it easy to understand. I would take him for all math courses if he offered them!
Best teacher ever I took him online and believe me I hate math drop it 3times. But he help you understand and gives you examples step by step. So if you just hate math this is the teacher for you.
Love this professor hate math.
He really wants you to understand and is happy to help any time it's needed. I highly recommend taking his class.
Professor Rathfon is and excellent teacher! 5 stars is not enough to describe how great he is, I would give him 10 stars. He is extremely smart, helpful, and great communicator. Math is my weakest subject, but with Mr. Rathfon he made it so fun! He helped me reach advance mathematics, he will change your life. I owe my success to him.
There is no way to put into words what a great math/algebra teacher Mr. Rathfon is. Before taking his class, I had forgotten everything about Algebra and even some basic math from high school, like simple decimals and fractions. His instruction is step by step and easy to understand.
I took Mr. Rathfon for College Algebra 1302 w/ Support. It was a webinar class and participation each class counted! Every class was recorded and emailed to the students afterwards; this made it easier to go back over and reference for homework assignments. Offered extra credit for each test (total of four). Homework assignments due weekly. EASY!
I was very nervous to take this class, but he has made it a breeze. He is an amazing teacher, and you can tell that he enjoys his job. He goes over every problem and example step by step with you and communicates very well. He is also very responsive when emailing. I've never left a review before but i felt a need to this time. 10/10 recommend!
Eugene is as sweet as they come. He is an amazing professor, and Pulaski Tech is extremely lucky to have someone like him.
I LOVE HIM AND HIS CLASS!! I have always dreaded math and was never a fan but he made it so easy to understand and shockingly fun. If I could take him again I would in a heart beat. Need more teachers like him!
Easy course pace and explains everything very well. Has online videos for reference if you have to miss class.
