Really good teacher. I would definitely take him if he teaches 7B which he does not. He usually gives five exams before the final exam. The very first test of 7A was really really easy. It was just basic algebras but the test started to get challenging after the 1st test. If you get A's on all the five exams, you don't have to take the finals

Mr. B is a great teacher, maybe the best math professor I had ever had. He is very responsible and he expects the same from his students. The only problem is that due to his very busy schedule he doesn't have enough office hours (1 he before every test 5 test 5 total office hrs). Don't need to bring book to class, use the library's one to do hw.

Homework is due each class time which I find is good but he rushes through the sections quickly and even crams 3 sections in one class with no break. Also makes the test unnecessarily hard.

He's not a bad teacher, but not the best either. Although he is very clear on notes, the lectures never end. It starts from the minute you walk in down to the last second, with not even a five minute break. If you like very dry styled teaching( notes in class, homework at home) versus the more interactive style of teaching then hes good for you.

He just doesn't realize that his students have other things going on. He is notorious for notifying the class about a test/quiz about half a day prior and most people dont even get the memo which is not fair considering that tests are 50 percent of the grade. To me this is unprofessional and a valid reason to never take him again. He has no mercy.

Professor Bermudez is one of the best math professors Ive ever taken. Took him for math08 with zoom meeting twice a week. Super interactive with students so his lecture is pretty fun tbh. Homework is optional but its the only way youre going to pass the class(all quizzes and test are almost identical to the hw). Office hour helps a tons!!

One of the worst teachers I have had. I learned more through the textbook, but ultimately I dropped the class because he would take points off for everything. Even if I had the answer right, he would not like the method I used. He teaches different compared to the way the textbook teaches you. He says attendance is not mandatory ,but it is.

This had to be the worst math instructor I have ever had. He was very rude and sarcastic and made fun of students that dropped his class. He got to personal about his life style and was very aloof when asking for help with the class content.He also used swear language.

Avoid this professor. Exams were insanely hard and went beyond what was taught. Tons of homework, no help, and you're expected to self-teach. He mocks late/absent students and even posts your mistakes on Pronto. Students had to rely on each other just to get by. One of the worst class experiences ever. VERY LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT TAKE!! Tests make up 95% of your grade, homework 10%, and trust there's a lot. You're basically self-teaching, as his lectures are just him rushing through the textbook without much explanation. He constantly raises his voice for no reason and keeps going off-topic. You won't learn much, and the environment isn't supportive. Avoid his class.

I would 100% recommend taking Mr. B(Frank Bermudez). I originally took him for Fall 2024 and I withdrew because I was photomathing all the homework. I tried again Spring 2025 started actually doing HW, participating, and putting effort. Study Groups were formed and I was able to do well on every test. Dont be Lazy.

Mr. B cares very much about his students and puts lots of effort into teaching. He makes sure to be prepared before class time to ensure his lectures are as informative and as helpful as possible. Although calculus is no easy subject, Mr. B made it easy to understand. If you care, you will do well. He also drops your lowest test grade at the end.

Mr. B made Calculus 3 less intimidating than I was expecting it to be. His lectures were very clear and concise, he took examples from the book and homework. Tests are based on his homework, although its worth 10% of your grade you will struggle if you don't make the time to complete it. He is an understanding grader and helps during office hours.

I've taken both Calc 5b&c with prof b. His lectures are well-organized, and they prepare u for the hw and exams. Most of your grade comes from tests, but they're based on problems from the textbook, so if you put in the effort and study, you'll be fine.

Don't procrastinate, come to office hours if you have questions, he will always be there. If you have any questions outside of class and office hours, he is on Pronto so you can ask him there. 10/10 would take again!

His grading focuses on tests mainly, but if you do all your homework and study before the tests you should do fine. He is always available in office hours and is willing to help anyone who has a problem. Very friendly and a somewhat lenient grader on the tests. The math can be confusing, but that is because it is calculus, it is for everyone.

Mr.B is a cool guy overall. If he yells or "gets angry" it's because he actually cares about his students and wants them to succeed. This semester was his first time teaching 5C and he spent so much time and effort making the lessons and quizzes for us. It's not an easy A, but if you put in the time and effort his classes aren't difficult.

Professor Bermudez really cares about you and many of his students come back to tell him how they're doing. In terms of teaching, it's very lecture heavy but only because he wants to make sure you actually learn the material. As long as you studied and did the homework, tests should be fairly easy. I've also taken him for 5B and he was just awesome

I've had his 5B and 5C class. He engages with the class and will answer any question. 1-2 hours of hw/section; 5 tests/class, of which I've failed 2/class (50/60s), but ended with a final grade of mid B's due to his final exam policy. He cares in his own weird way but I've never felt stupid for failing my tests. Not an easy A but can be achieved.

This is not to be confused with his tough guy demeanor. He was overly rude and made comments calling out specific students for absolutely no reason. He gets a 2 because he knows the content he teaches.

Very good. He gives a strong Navy vibe and was in the service for a while. Highly recommended for students who need someone to clearly explain exactly what to do. He dislikes when people are late and focuses on developing a work ethic rather than a more cerebral approach. Good fit for the many people who need that development. Ironically, lenient.
