Boring. There's not much point in showing up to class, other than that he gives out the format to the exams. He's like the only professor who would try to squeeze four exams into the summer session. Posts notes online, but not reliably. Really, you're better off reading the textbook. Also, use the Clemson notes from online. Those are helpful.

Promised to post notes online, never did. Doesn't post homework online either. Miss one class, miss everything. Moved test dates without warning. Very disrespectful to students. Notes are mediocre at best and the textbook isn't too great either. No help to students. If you want to pass calculus, do not take his class. Avoid at all costs.

I took his math 214 class in Spring 2016. Honestly, I don't really think he understood the material he was teaching. All he did was coping notes from his iPad, and when students asked questions he got confused. Khan Academy is way better than him.

the class average on the first exam was a 45, he made an exception to his rule of no curving for us, all questions come straight from the book and he tells you what test questions will be on, but he picks the absolute hardest problems, and his lectures are just the textbook chapter, word for word. its calc 2 also. weekly quizes. avoid if possible

I've taken several challenging math courses in the past and received a good grade for all of them. This professor, however, does not teach. He just writes the notes, studying from the textbook helped me more. He picks the absolute hardest problems for our exams. AVOID HIM!!

Worst Experience ever. He just writes notes in his class. Doesn't know how to explain the problems instead he expects us to know everything from before

This professor just expects you to know everything instantly. He writes notes super fast and doesn't let the class really participate in them. Tests are extremely difficult and his study guides are extremely vague and unhelpful. Avoid this professor at all costs.

Each subject covered was not explained thoroughly and skipped steps during examples in the lecture class. No assigned homework to help buffer your overall grade. No cheat sheets on exams and no calculators. Hope you are pro with calculus and a little with linear algebra otherwise don't even bother taking this class especially with this professor.

What you might have done in high school is hardly what he makes you learn in class. The textbook is useless because he doesn't like it and the homework doesn't correspond to the type of problems on the quizzes/exams because it requires a calculator and this course is non-calculator. The problems done in class aren't as hard as the ones on the exams

1. Don't buy a physical textbook -not useful 2. Don't rely on the HW questions, because he only ever chooses the hard questions to be on the exam while he doesn't go over those types of problems in class 3. Cannot explain things well, and expects you to have background knowledge already and just reads off notes 4. Don't take him. Just, don't.

Get ready for lots of homework. He would assign 5- 7 sections and each section had 20-30 problems & many problems had multiple parts to it. Never ending homework and weekly quizzes caused lots of stress. The exams are very hard, nothing like the homework. The quizzes are similar to the hw tho, well the hardest questions on the hw are. Good luck....

he does not explain clearly. if you take him you will learn more from the textbook and homework than his lectures. quizzes every week and does not tell you what is on the quiz.

He's OK when it comes to explaining the material but a rude person. He is snarky and not a kind professor. The class itself is hard enough but he goes the extra mile to make your life hell. Books and Youtube helped me pass this hell of a class. His office hours are useless. Doesn't care if you fail. Its just a Letter to him at the end of the day.

A very fast-paced teacher who expects you to do a lot of the learning on your own. Very nit-picky about giving points, and the homework is only 10% of the final grade. The other 90% are exams. He's only really good at explaining when doing one-to-one help. I worked my butt off going to the tutoring center and his office, but still suffering.

Extremely fast-paced teacher who wants you to understand everything through homework only. Very nit-picky about giving points, and 90% of the final grade is just exams. Better as a tutor, but still intimidating. I worked my butt off getting every kind of help possible, but still have a very low grade.

HE IS THE WORST! BEWARE!! Do not take this class, he tries his best but his teaching is kinda wack and his exams are soooooooo hard. Your quizzes and homework are actually really easy but he makes test hard. But please don't take him if you really wanna struggle. I took pre-calc in high school and it was no where are hard as this class

Taking his class was the biggest mistake. His 5 question exams are the worst for Calculus 3. He loves putting tricky physics questions on them. He teaches well, but your grades wont come out good with his impossible exams. I don't recommend taking him for Discrete or calculus classes at George Mason.

This is the most God awful class I have ever taken with a professor. He does tell you whats on the exam, but the questions are impossible and he only gives out five questions. I did terrible on an exam I studied for days and even went to his office hours for problems I was confused with. I do not recommend you take him! He will destroy you're GPA!

really bad professor. I would tell everyone to avoid this professor at all cost

Stay away from this class at all costs. Quizzes every week , multiple homework assignments every week, and 8 question tests that seem impossible. Take it and you will struggle, also very unapproachable.

Class consists of only 3 graded items, 2 midterm and 1 final. Textbook homework is 'assigned', but never turned in or graded. Nothing feedback related is done, no quizzes or graded homework to gauge where you are at. Avoid if possible.

He is the worst professor I've ever had. He ruined math for me. There's only 3 tests if you mess up one there's no coming back

If you care about your grade, DO NOT TAKE. He explains the lecture well, you understand the material, then on the day of the exam, you will be shocked by the type of questions you see. I studied his notes, did the homework, even watched youtube videos and still didn't pass!

Super unhelpful, borderline rude. There are many other options - do not take this guy.

as a normal human being, he is nice, funny and helpful. However, as a professor, he teaches one plus one and gives an exam on quantum physics. you will have a quiz every single week and almost two assignments for every class I had him two days a week almost 4 assignments a week and there is a project that was weird to do but helpful for my grade

Professor Andreani is one of the worst professors in George Mason. I learned nothing from him. I went to his office a couple of times BUT he is NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. He makes fun of the students if they do not know the material from calc. I or II. Students used to raise their hands to ask him but he never look at them. Save your money and avoid him.

This guy has to be the most unorganized, disrespectful, and rude person I have ever met. His homework on ALEKS has absolutely no relation to what he teaches each week, He will get math wrong during his lecture and brush it off like he never made the mistake and he once said, "It doesn't matter, I know quantum physics". Don't ever take his classes.

The worst professor I have had yet. 1-2 questions quizzes that are worth 10% of your grade. The homework is also worth 10% and it takes 16+ hours over days to finish. Terrible lectures and doesn't care if people don't understand. Best part is you can find an easier method to do a problem, but he'll mark it as a zero if you dont do it his wa

Extremely test heavy, the homework on ALEKS does not correspond to the quizzes we take in class. Ends class an hour early somedays and kicks us out of the room. Terrible teaching method and he chooses the hardest way to solve things, makes you have to learn his method or else he will fail you.

Most disrespectful and rude professor I have ever had. Does NOT care about students success or understanding. Never emailed me back the entire semester when I was begging for help. Would have passed the class if it wasn't for this prof. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!! The semester project ruins grades and has NOTHING to do with calc 2. Ruined my semester.

Aleks is one of the worst programs to have ever existed. It barely helps you understand the content and takes 16+ hours weekly. Homework is 10% of your grade. Gives the hardest possible questions during quizzes & tests. Takes off points for not using his method and calls it "insufficient". I got 97% in high school, barely passed this class.

This professor is one of the worst ones I have ever encountered. I went to office hours once for help and he asked me to go to the tutoring center, I know that professors are busy, but such a nonchalant answer is disrespectful. He always does the problems wrong on the board and whenever corrected says "I always know the work behind it."

Lectures are not engaging at all. No difference just finding a Youtube Video about the topic, although the Youtube video has less of a chance of putting you to sleep. He IS patient with questions during class, and answers them helpfully, but thats about it.

You see all these bad reviews and tell yourself "well I'm different". Wrong. He should be FIRED for how difficult he made fairly simple concepts. There are many variables that make people fail, but not in this class. I can wholeheartedly say the TEACHER is the problem. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS, whatever you gotta do, AVOID HIM.

Never responds to his emails, ever. If you fall behind initially theres basically no chance of catching up. Ive never failed a course before especially one this easy, but this teacher seems to not give any cares to the students grades. Avoid avoid avoid.

Don't take him, online or in person. He grades way too harsh, there aren't enough questions on the exams (there were four on our final), and he turns all of Calc 3 into a physics class. People say he's helpful during office hours, but he needs to be good during the lectures first.

Calc II is a very hard class and this professor did not help with the case. Grades were based on 3 tests and a final project involving Mathematica. First day of class, he kicked a chair over because it was in his way and it set the mood for the rest of the semester.

What a disgusting teacher. He does tell you what's gonna be on the exams, but it is nothing like what he tells you is gonna be on it. "Teachers" like this need to learn something, just because you say you want students to "learn the process", does not equate to making things IMPOSSIBLE, especially when the quizzes and homework are easy. Avoid

Oh my goodness. I have never seen anyone make fairly easy concepts seem IMPOSSIBLE. Take ANY other teacher, this guy needs to be investigated for how difficult he made ALL of these concepts. Don't even get me started on the tests, talk about something being NOTHING like the homework or quizzes. People like this shouldn't be teachers. Good God

Terrible teacher, lectures give you a sense that you understand, and then test questions are absurdly more difficult. Don't take him.

Highly Recommend Finding Another Math Professor! This class is way too hard. Highest math exam score was a 60%. A lot of the classmates have failed the 1st exam..... class is graded on 3 exams, weekly quizzes worth 3 points each but could only get 1 or 2 points from each quiz. Save your tuition money!

Worst prof I've had at GMU so far, avoid at all costs for Math 125. If you want to struggle and receive little to no feedback and help take this class. Class is only graded off 3 exams which are very difficult. Quizzes are only 10% of grade and rest of 90% is 2 exams and final. Exams are very short and tough, small curve. Lots of people failing.

PLEASE FIND A BETTER TEACHER.

No feedback. Tekes along time to answer emails and something he just doesnt. Unclear about grading scale. It took him more than a month to post exam grades.

Please do yourself a huge favor and take some other professor! This guy is not even worth your time and money. Don't even think about listening to the positive reviews for this guy because it is likely that those reviews are trying to set you up for failure. The exams are not even representative of what you learn in his class, and they are hard.

Awful teacher, please take literally any other professor. Only grades in the class are 3 dreadful exams that are five questions each. The weekly quizzes only out of 3 points. He takes 2 months to grade an exam. His lectures are him monotonously going over a piece of notes. Doesn't even give practice exam answers and doesn't go over hw either.

You might as well just open the textbook and learn on your own

He consistenty ignores emails, and you can expect that level of disrespect from him towards the students all the time. He refuses to do his job, learning from this man is impossible. If by some unlucky event you end up in his class, pay for a tutor. Dont expect him to help you, you're gonna be learning this by yourself.

If you decide not to show to class you will really not understand anything. He takes hand written notes in class for 2 hours and if u dont pay attention while he is taking notes and explaining, then good luck passing the class. His exams are hard and he grades harshly. If u want to lower your GPA go ahead and take it with him other than that RUN.

He teaches straight out of the textbook, so lectures aren't very useful. Homework isn't collected, so no feedback is given. All of the grade is 3 difficult tests, and he only gives a slight curve on them. Gives practice exam, but no solutions. Says the final is cumulative, but it's not. Only got one email the entire semester. Avoid at all costs.

Is very hard to understand. If you ask because you don't understand he just explains everything in 3 seconds and keep going with the class. Sometimes he gives you 4 formulas but when you do the practice exercises you can discover 2-3 other different formulas that was never discussed on class. Not very helpful. I would avoid him at all cost.

My first semester at GMU and I had to enroll in Calculus 2, for me to have to DROP OUT after the very first week..smh. A student raises their hand and asks "Hey Professor, I got this answer,and it does not match up with yours, how did you get your answer" you proceed to stare at your own work and then write in the words "DO IT YOURSELF" was not ok.

Not good at teaching. No one at gmu is good at teaching.

Horrible professor. Starts with a familiar topic, then solves (with minimal explanation ) a harder one. He solves them in an A4 sheet with sharpies and expects us to grasp the concept right from the get-go. The questions in the exams are hard. For some reason, he despises calculators. He doesn't respond to emails at all, and he is tardy

Very hard professor. Lectures are heavy. Be prepared to study on your own dignity. Be prepared to do a lot of homework. The professor has ZERO!!!!!! extra credit. AVOID HIM AT ALL COST

Terrible.

nightmare class and teacher, avoid. i think he is a terrible teacher. you are better off waiting for ANY other teacher. I MEAN ANY

This professor is okay if you are decent at math, but if you are struggling with math then this professor is not for you. Exams make up most of your grade and they are EXTREMELY difficult. Barely passed and he does not curve exams. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT MATH!

Not good, Exams are much harder than the worksheets that are given out during class. If you are playing a sport avoid this professor at all costs. His lectures are alright although he moves very fast through the lectures and often leaves a lot of confusion amongst students.

Before taking his classes, he explains everything clearly and quickly with the course on topic, but what really made it terrible is that his tests are wide spread questions of multiple sets within the topic. Additionally not good if you have other classes to attend to, you must get at least hours in.

To pass, do not take another course that's coursework heavy. It feels easier to learn by yourself as you got the materials. Unfortunately for me I have to do two courses including this that was very heavy on work. Tests are also extremely filled to the brim of content and looking for buddies to study with isn't easy here.

Man those tests are indeed crazy. I've done the math before and practiced for 2 nights straight and see that those exams are way different than the work done in total before. 0/0 DO NOT TAKE THE CLASS IF YOU HAVE OTHER CLASSES W HEAVY WORK TODO!

Disappointing from start to finish. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

In all honesty, the content he teaches is more like expecting everyone to know AP Calculus as some of the questions aren't even taught yet and need Calc II methods.

By far I can not stand this professor out of all my classes. As a person who doesn't drink coffee I think I should after staying up 3 in the morning to complete on a scheduled basis. Not really helpful either, just office hours and a lot of yapping

Speeds through the lectures and acts like the information is intuitive. worksheets rarely had anything to do with the lesson of that day. exams were tough but fair imo.

If you like a class that doesn't have much lecture but heavy practice learning. As trying to diagnose the equation from the notes to the practice is often not really related to each other that well. The general concept was explained but after that you need to remember other parts from algebra you forgot. I recommend Khan for explanations.

I wouldn't recommend this professor. Even if you get the right answer, they might take points off just because you didn't use their exact method. It feels more about following their way than actually understanding the material. If you're someone who thinks outside the box or solves problems differently, be ready to lose points for it.

This guy is probably the worst professor you could take for credit. He goes over WAY more than the other professors do, the tests are hell, and he's a horrible lecturer. If you care about the topics, then he is a great professor; however, if you just want an A, please avoid him at all costs.

Avoid at all costs, seems like a great guy but he makes the coursework so much harder than it should be and his tests are the absolute worst.

One of those professors that takes pride in being a tough grader/ professor also has a fragile ego if you disagree with him or your grade he will just fail you. Class work every class. took calc 2 next semester with professor yin got a B and studied less. Got a D from this guy. Do not take if you care about your grade.

he is very sassy on email and gets annoyed with you even if you ask a simple question. take him if youre okay with a B but do NOT take him if you want an A.
