He knows the material, but can't teach it. He doesn't help you when you don't understand,, prefers to tell you that you're doing something wrong. It's mid-term time and he doesn't care to learn anyone's name. We sign a piece of paper saying we were there. All homework is online. I would say he's highly unprofessional and unorganized.
i agree with the person above..he knows the material,but doesn't know how to teach it! if most of the class got it wrong then he'll show you on the bored,but if most of the class got the right answer you gotta figure out what you did wrong on your own! but he was funny! o and if you miss his class you miss a lot!
Great professor! Easy A if you do the homework and go to class. Don't listen to the previous reviews. He makes class fun and entertaining. First Algebra class I've passed in 3 years! I got a A and I'm horrible at math.
Professor Conic teaches a great class for slow learners. Honest, direct and always willing to give extra help. His approach may not be for those with "thin skin", but he really does care about his students progress. More professors like him are needed.
He was very helpful and understanding. I had a hard time in his class but still managed to get a be because of of his teach and reteach abilities.
two words....don't bother. You would be better off teaching yourself with an online class...at least you would save 20 or 30 dollars in gas money. seriously...DO NOT under any circumstances take this man.
he makes sure that you get your work done. He gives you chances on somethings that other teachers would not. When i first walked into the class i was very nervous but after leaving i feel i have made the right choic
Conic is a great teacher. I would definitely recommend him to anyone MAC1105 is a tough class regardless, not an "Easy A." So you need to do your work. Goes very out of the way to ensure you pass. Very lenient on homework and quiz deadlines. Allows you to catch up. Allows retakes on exams. He is also very funny and laid back.He is a good dude!
He was always late and did help in his own way of teaching.. extremely hard to learn with that style.. you will be teaching yourself.
Great teacher, Always willing to help you after class!!!
Easy A if ou do your Work
I took the Fall A class, and if you arent willing to spend time to do work then dont take this class. All work is online with mymathlab, no textbook required. It is a fast paced class that requires fast learning or a readiness to learn. Attendance is not mandatory but if you dont come you will fail. You will be called to the board a lot.
He's a good prof. He is not late, always on time. He answers all questions & looks for understanding, gets through everything on schedule and has a great personality. Always willing to help after class. Buy the book, do your work, and ask questions.
Super super easy if you do your online mathlab! Hes was always late to our class! :/
He's a great professor!
helpful teacher
He is easy to understand and makes clear what needs to be done.
Very fast paced class, but he's really nice and forgiving on assignments. The work is easy if you pay attention and come to class.
I had my own difficulties getting to class, but everyday that I attended there Mr Conic explained the lesson in a manner that was clear, concise, and truly educated. I don't feel as though any topic or concept was neglected.
Super easy class. Very easy to get an A. He is very helpful and will work with you to help you get a good grade. Every time I had a homework or quiz past due I would just ask him for more time and he would open them up for me.
this man had bad "bed side manner". He called people out in class about their attendance, homework, etc. He asked students WHO they voted for in the presidential election and wrote on the board who his preference was. He abused his postition. As for teaching he did ok but was clueless what his own syllabus even said or when things were due.
Mr. Conic is definatly a good teacher. If you are not good at math, the material in general is going to be hard, be sure to go to class and go to the math lab if you need any extra help. If there are any discrepencies on any of the online tests he goes over it with you and tries to help you as much as he can. He also gives extra credit!
If you need math in your future don't take the class with Conic, he does not explain well.. I learned by my own and study groups, he does not explain in class. tne tests are easy but he never explains things that are on the test. HE DID NOT EXPLAIN ANYTHING THAT WAS ON THE FINAL
This class is very easy to pass. My Math Lab is your real teacher. He's just the proctor basically. He teaches you the easy stuff then the hard stuff hits you like a freight train. I'm in his class as I type this and he's talking to a student about the Italian restaurant she works in. Wondering if it's good or not. Not a good teacher.
Super easy! I slacked the whole time and still past. Professor Conic was very helpful. Taking him again for MAC1105
Explained things well, he goes at a faster pace so if you don't pay attention or have prior knowledge it may be difficult to follow. When I needed help he seemed uninterested and bothered. At least 50 percent of class time was wasted on completely unrelated matters. I was frustrated with my wasted time. Nice teacher though and he makes you laugh.
Class is overall pretty easy and if you don't fall behind you'll be fine. Conic gives a good amount of time for assignments and even though he may not explain everything in the best way, he's a good man and willing to assist.
I feel people are upset because they were not hand walked through every problem. He will answer any question, but sometimes you must approach him directly or he won't go over it.
Very helpful, I am not particularly a math person but I didn't struggle as much as I thought I would. Attendance is not mandatory but it definitely helps.
I am not good at math and he tends to make me feel stupid and makes others feel stupid because he calls them out especially when he knows you don't understand. He only goes over the simple stuff and when it comes to the hard things he makes the class figure it out on their own. NO HELP! MathLab is the teacher, not him. Stay away from this class!!
If you aren't really good in math DONT NOT take his class he doesn't explain anything good enough and when you ask questions he expects you to already know the material it's like your basically teaching yourself. Going to his class was a waist of my time because i never really learned anything.
a very cool an dedicated educator
He is extra funny and helpful ! i strongly suggest you take him.. this class was fun and i learned a lot as long as youuse MML Daily you will be fine
good teacher
honestly the best teacher, very helpful and extremely open to being helpful and helping students. i recommend everyone to take him he's the best!!!!
Great teacher I would highly suggest that you take him for MAT1033!
I sucked at math. I had been out of school for almost close to 5 years. one of the best math teachers ive ever had. even thought attendance isnt mandatory,it is much needed if you arent good at math. very helpful and understanding. I would recommend him to any other student for any math subject.
I do not recommend this teacher for various reasons... if you have trouble with math, this class is not for you. He doesn't clarify, gets mad when the whole class fails a test, and then he puts students grades on the projector... I got an A because I used MathLab EVERY day. Avoid this teacher at all costs.
You are supposed to use mymathlab everyday, its a studio class. LOL
Absolutely Horrible math teacher. I dropped the class after a week. It was a hour and a half test and we barely did 5 questions. He just works on his computer 90% of the time. Expects you to know everything and doesn't explain things very well. if your there to learn Math, not get A- for doing a few questions off of internet, go for other teachers!
Will only work with students that will kiss his butt or that he feels will pass the class anyway and the other students that struggle will not get any help from him. He sits on his ass in the the computer lab the entire time. If you're struggling in math and need help, This isn't the professor for you... absolutely the worst. FF
The only people that gives this professor a good rating are the ones that hasn't struggled in math or the students that he,s willing to help. Mathlab can only give a person so much info. I watched him give points away and answers to the students he wanted to pass, but if he doesn't care to much for you, He want help or say two words.
Think!!!! If your struggling with math is it really worth messing up your financial aid for someone that doesn't care. He,s not a good professor.
Mr. Conic is quite a character! Lectures are always fun and he is always quick to help us if we are confused about any given rule. He has helped me a lot throughout the semester and I wish he could teach all of my upcoming math classes. Haven't had a math teacher that was this personable, good at conveying ideas, or as helpful in at least 3 years!
Before this class, I never paid attention in high school. Not ok and my math skills were terrible. I got sick for two days before this class. I didn't eat. I was terrified. Anyway, Conic made the environment easy and friendly. I learned so much more than I ever did in any class. He is funny and thorough, but you must be willing to work. I got an A
Mr Conic really cares for his students.
He's very helpful and wants you to pass. I recommend taking him. He's funny.
Takes time to warm up to. He is very funny. Must be in class to learn the lesson or you won't pass. Don't need a book. Must do all math lab hours.
Very fun and easy going teacher Test problems are almost the exact same problems from the math lab As long as you do your assignments, it is very easy to get a good grade
He makes sure you understand the math. He will sit with you and make sure you get it. His methods of teaching are most helpful. As a bonus he's funny.
Just do math lab and you pass the class. Easy A
Want to know -exactly- how to do the problems you'll face in the homework and on your tests? Take him. Don't be intimidated by the mini-semester course. He's funny, straight-forward and spends class time going over the material until you stop asking questions. That being said, MAT1033 is hard. Take notes, show up, do the homework, profit.
Frank conic was the best college algebra teacher I've had. ( took Nash last semester and failed). Freezy is there for you and wants you to pass his class. All the homeworks prepared you for the tests and as long as you come to class, it's an easy A!
Prof. Conic is awesome! He gives unlimited tries on quizzes. Lets you re-take all 3 tests (except final) if you do poorly. He will stay after class to help you if you are struggling with something. The homework is on my math lab and the tests are pulled directly from the practice test that he gives you online before each test. He is extremely fair.
Please note that any bad review Conic has received is in broken English with terrible grammar. You're in college. Act like it, show up, and apply yourself. You can't spoon feed algebra, but Conic prepares you for EVERY test. I am awful at math (or was) and am about to receive my first A since elementary school. Take him, you won't regret it.
Prof. Conic is fantastic with his students. He makes you feel like an individual and wants you to do well in his class. Expect to show up to learn the material, group projects, tests can all be retaken. The hardest part of the course was the final exam. Prepare yourself and you will succeed
The class is enjoyable and easy. If you do all the homework the tests are easy.
The class is easy and enjoyable, and Conic teaches extremely well.
Was a good professor. I had him for fall A. I didnt go to class but I always finished my work. I think I got a B in the class
He is really like to help student,and he also hilarious. When it comes to work, he on it. The only way to not pass his class is if the student lazy.
I took Mr. Conic's Fall A class and he's a great Math teacher. He's always willing to help and answer any questions you might have. He's also really funny and nice, which makes the class more interesting. I would definitely recommend taking Mr. Conic's class!
Prof Conic was nice, and will help if you ask, but can be unclear. I ended up teaching my half of the classroom, and we depended on our Teacher Assistant a lot when he was there. It is an easy A, because mymathlab as very helpful. The whole class was just group work, which was helpful since he wasn't too clear.
Math lab is really big in this class, so if you skip lab you'll have probably have a hard time catching up! Other than that conic is a great help!
Was funny in class but not helpful in the math lab and doesn't expound very much in class but if your good with vague, broad teachers. He's the guy for you!
Mr. Conic was one of the best professors i have had. With benign prior military haven't taken a math class in over 5 years. With his clear teacher and being helpful when I had questions I managed to pass the class with an A. Do your math labs, quizzes. Test reviews and you will Osa with an A.
He is a good professor. He will help you understand a subject you may be having trouble with, and will work through a problem step by step on the board. He cracks some lame jokes sometimes, and occasionally breaks out in song, but it's entertaining. Makes going to class fun. He takes time to learn every student's name, which most professors don't.
As long as you show up, and do the work... there is no reason why you can't get an A. He is more than fair when it comes to grading. And he has a good sense of humor.
Great professor. Different style from most, but you get used to it. Really into the subject matter and makes class fun. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I hate math and have never done well in a math class before and not only am i getting the material in this class, im actually enjoying it. Would take again!
Great having him as a professor
great professor
He is a alright teacher. You are gonna have to teach yourself the material because either he teacher the material half way or not clearly. As a person he is really funny and you are never bored in his class.
Professor Conic is a great instructor to have. You get out of his classes what you put into them. If your willing to work, he is right there with you. Even if your doing well, he keeps you on your toes and ready for anything that may be thrown at you. Would love to take more classes with him as proctor.
He doesn't like to repeat himself so pay attention. Very helpful though. You have to come to class in order to pass. Won't leave you I. The dark he'll let you know what coming up and what to expect
He's a great professor, he there when you need him , explain to you so you'll have a better idea how to do the assignment .
Prof. Conic was very informative and to the book with the workload. That does not mean that he wasn't willing to go out of his way to help a student understand a subject in which they struggled. If you complete your work in studio time you will not have a problem passing the class.
Professor conic is a definite take again professor, easy grader and hands on and shows a lot of demonstrations, wish I could take him throughout my college career
Easy class if you pay attention. Don't skip class.
The class is pretty easy, just make sure you pay attention. Studio hours are a pain but it's a great way to finish your work in class instead of at home. He's cool, doesn't call out names during class and make you respond. If he does call out your name though it's just so he can connect the name to the face.
Professor Conic can be a bit vague, if you pay attention you should have no problem passing the course. He tries to inspire class participation, to keep the class from being too dull and can be pretty funny sometimes. Did not use textbook, MML comes with ETextbook. He will help if you need it in the lab. Overall, a good professor for this course
he's funny. He cares about you passing the class. Don't think about skipping class though, you will fail.
He was an okay professor..a little condescending. He doesn't teach material fully so it may be a little challenging to teach yourself the material and stay caught up. He also doesn't like office hours. If you are taking away from his time, he wont like you. If you don't check your assignments daily and have low attendance failure is guaranteed.
Awesome professor, overall the class is HARD but he makes things as easy as possible. Very helpful and lenient.
After the first week of school was a little skeptical but he turned out to be a really good teacher. Took College Algebra as a Fall A class, so it was accelerated. As long as you do and put in the work, you can easily get an A or high B. He gives you all the resources you need to pass, you just need to use them and not get lazy.
It was okay.
Mr. Conic is simply the best math instructor in Santa Fe college currently. He explains math in a logical way and relates with real life examples. If you don't like math you will like it and have a higher understanding of it with Mr. Conic. If you already like math and understand it well, Mr. Conic's teaching will add finesse to your math skills.
Mr Frank made me enjoy math for the first time since elementary school. He is sweet, smart, and an all around AMAZING professor! I wish I could take him for all of my math classes. He wants you to get and A, and he makes it very clear what you need to do to get it. gives you second third and fourth chances.
the greatest teacher I have ever met. Highly recommended. Undescribably easy A
He is AMAZING! Such a sweet heart and is always willing to help! Math is not a subject I excel in, and he has helped me so much! would defiantly recommend him! Easy A!
Professor Conic is by far the BEST math teacher I have ever had. I have always really struggled in math, and he made me enjoy it. He genuinely cares about his students doing well and is always looking for ways to help. He makes things very easy to understand and is just a very nice person. I wish I could have him for every subject! Easy A
Frank is a great teacher. She gives good feedback on every assignment. Easy to comprehend and is there for you when you need help.
I wish every teacher was like Professor Conic! He is so helpful and really cares about the success of his students. I would definitely recommend him to everyone! (My rating for textbook use refers to the online MyMathLab Access Code. He gives you a few days of the program free and will explain how to purchase your own code. No textbook.) Easy A!
Prof. Conic is THE best at Santa Fe. I know people say that about a lot of teachers, but I promise you he is. His lectures are easy to follow, and he is ALWAYS there for help if you need it. No matter what. Real easy A!
If you hate or are not good at Math especially if you are an older student coming back to school this is the professor for you. Clear lectures. VERY helpful. Makes math easy. Was completely ready for 1033 and now moving on to 1105. Grades very fair. You will be ready for upper level math. Easy A
Great teacher, always in a good mood, willing to help you and listen. Easy A
Frank is an amazing guy. He is extremely thoughtful, and tries to do what's best in your interest. He explains math so well, therefore his tests are a piece of cake. Just make sure you do your homework, and take the practice exams (they will help A LOT!) He is super encouraging, and overall he's just an amazing Professor. Take his class!! Easy A!!
Mr. Frank is an awesome teacher, very helpful, and wants to see you succeed. This is my second time taking this class and wish I had found him first. He has a unique teaching strategy. If you leave his class with anything less than a A, its simply because you did not try and do as he asked. POINT BLANK AND PERIOD!!! TAKE HIS CLASS
Very helpful and a great teacher Easy A
very helpful, he has convenient office hours and will help you for hours if he could. Very clear through his lectures and will take his time teaching to make sure you understand everything. If you don't understand a problem you can call him over to your desk and he love to sit down and help you through it. Easy A
Conic was the best math teacher I've ever had Math is not my strongest subject but he teaches clearly in a way anyone can understand. He's amazing and opens his time and office up if extra help is needed outside of the classroom. I wish he would teach other math classes but unfortunately he doesn't. If you have the option take him you wont regretit
I'm terrible at math, seriously, I don't even have my multiplication table memorized. Somehow I was able to pass this class with flying colors. Patient, engaging, and an all around great teacher. He takes difficult concepts and explains them in simple ways. This professor showed me even math could be fun.
Sweetest teacher ever. I had never liked math until I had him as a professor. He is very patient and very easy to understand. I still reach out to him for tutoring for my other math classes.
I Never like math since I was younger this teacher took every angry I had for math and absolutely wiped it away I highly recommend him as a teacher. He will gladly help you with any problem you seem you can't work out and still give you extra practice to make it perfect. He is amazing teacher. Any student would be lucky to have him as a teacher.
I absolutely loved this class. I hated math before and now I understand it so much better. I wish I could take Mr. Conic for every math class!
Very helpful! Goes through every step! Goes over all homework very class. will go over any section or problem as many times as you need to. Helps after too. I HIGHLY Recommend taking his class. just wish i could take his class next semester :(
Best professor ever. He is very helpful if you can take him do it! Easy A
If you're horrible at math like I am I highly suggest his class. He is super helpful and nice. I could raise my hand and ask for help on the same material 8 times and he would still come over and gladly help until I understood. I would go to his office and get help before class and he would even do quizes with you to ensure a 100% AWESOME professor
He is a great professor. If you have to take a prep class, take him, he is the head person of prep math. He will help you before and after classes and makes sure you understand. He is the best prep teacher you will ever get. He can take jokes every now and then and wants you to succeed. Seriously, take him! Easy A!!!
he is the best. i had him for fall A and it was blast. he is very helpful and will do anything to help his students. he is truely one of the best in the land. Easy A
Absolutely wonderful professor! I had to retake the MAT0024 course because I couldn't understand the last professor. Mr. Conic is exceptionally wonderful and extremely helpful to his students. I have yet to have any complaints at all. HIGHLY recommend him for anyone needing to understand math better. PERFECT!!!
Best math professor ever. Not a mean bone in his body and will spend all day helping you if you need it. I've logged many hours in his office going over problems and I would recommend visiting him there. You will pass his class if you go! Also pay attention!!! Do your HW the night before b/c he goes over it daily. If you do so, guaranteed A!
Just show up to class and do your work and he will be fine with you. He jokes around sometimes. Good for people that have a really hard time with math, he makes it super easy. Always willing to help. In the math lab he is always helpful and you can see him during office hours. Everyone in the class seems to really enjoy him, no complaints.
awesome teacher and is very helpful to students who are in desperate need of help with math. took him for fall A, best decision I've ever made.
I LOVEEE this class!!! Mr. Conic is so helpful and will go over the same problem 500 times if he needs to!! He explains things so well!!! I am not a math person at ALL but this class has gone so easy for me because of him!!!
Mr Conic is a math genius. I am sure he works undercover for NASA or something!! He is a lovely person and very helpful. He really knows his stuff. He is a great teacher!! Santa Fe should pay him in gold!
I'm not a math person and was worried about passing prior to taking the class, but Mark Conic was an amazing teacher and was always willing to help in and out of class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
This guy is AWESOME. He'll explain anything you need him to. His tests are really easy and he prepares you for them in advance. If you attend like you should your grade should be nothing below a B.
This guy is AWESOME. He'll explain anything you need him to. His tests are not really easy but he prepares you for them in advance. He had a daily quiz in my class but he does that when a lot of people don't show up or come in late, either way if you attend like you should your grade should be nothing below an A.
Great Teacher! He works well with students. He also works with you one on one. I would reccomend him to anyone.
i hated math b4 this class never passed a math class in high school and i am realy understanding this class
HE IS A GREAT TEACHER. IF YOU PLAN ON LEARNING ANYTHING U CAN COUNT ON HIM TO TEACH YOU. HE WORKS ONE ON ONE AND ALOT OF TEACHERS DONT DO THAT. GOOD CHOICE FOR A TEACHER
This is quite possibly the best teacher I've had. He is very helpful, and understanding. If you are out sick, he gives you opportunities to make your grade back up, and will help you with any problems you may have. His door is always open to his students, past or present. He will do anything in his power to help you pass this class.
Mr. Conic is a great teacher! He is ALWAYS willing to help his student any way that he can. He was one of the most helpful teachers I have ever had. I am so retarded in math (FOR REAL) and I aced his class. I would tell anyone who is not the best in math to take Mr. Conic!!!!
GREAT TEACHER! GREAT GUY! i hated math in high school but Frank made it so easy and fun. thats right i said math was fun! he is big on attendance but if you take expedited semester like i did its to be expected so as not to fall behind. test and HW is alot alike so show up, pay attention, and its an "A"
I absolutely LOVE Frank! I took him for MAC1033 and even wrote the head of the math department to request he teach the next class. I never really understood math and disliked it but Frank keeps it fun. Well at least fun to come to class. You do have to go to class and do your homework if you're having any problems though he will see you trough it
Awesome guy! Frank was a great teacher and very helpful. pay attention, do HW and your golden like the shower!
Frank is a WONDERFUL guy and he will do anything to not only help you pass the class, but to actually understand the material. I wish I could take all my math classes with him. I sucked at math, and hated it, but actually enjoyed going! He makes it fun and interesting. Love, love, LOVE him! So great!
Conic's really one of the best teachers Ive ever had. He cares about all the students, plus he keeps the atmosphere really open and personal so that everyone feels comfortable to ask questions (or comment on his commercials.)He's a fun guy.
He is a very good teacher. He doesn't allow his students to become bored. He is very helpful when you need a little extra help. He explains problems in a way that is not very complicated. He is excellent.
I gta tell u Dave's awesome. Besides the fact that he's the finest teacher I've ever had, he explains very clearly he's so young and he understands how to explain it at our level, so he doesn't use all these sophisticated words you won't undst. He gives answ's b4 tests (in-rvw) and he helped me alot. Never thought I'd score an A in math
Very great teacher. Always willing to help students and listen to what they had to say. If you don't really understand math, this is a great teacher to help you learn and understand it. Very great!!
He's a great teacher, he is young so he knows how to teach and make it fun at the same time
Mr. Conic is an outstanding teacher. Never before had I been considered a good student. He's easy to understand, friendly, and extremely helpful. I wish he was teaching my next required class.
I have never been good in math and I like many others have to take the class prior to this one. Conic is a fantastic teacher! I almost failed Algebra 2 in H.S. and when I finished his class, I finished with an A. If you give it your best you will succeed. He teaches in such a way that you will easily comprehend the material.
3 test plus final and 20 quizzes. Instructions were ok to follow. I worked ahead most of the class this allowed me to ask detailed questions to keep me from getting stuck. No book. He has a sense of humor. Finished my class with about 100 for grade before the extra credit. Got 2 100's on the tests I'd say he's a great teacher because I hated math
Conic is by far the best Math teacher I've ever had. I'm usually horrible at math, and yet I passed with a very good grade, thanks to his teaching. He'll take his time and class, and no matter how long it takes, he will make sure you understand the material. Flexible, kind, and a wonderful teacher, I would take him again any time.
Mr. Conic is a teacher that really cares to see you do good. He is layed back and very understanding. As long as you are interested in doing your best, he will give you his 100% in helping you suceed. He really knows his math and he make it extremley easy to understand. If you want to learn and really understand take his class
Frank is AWESOME. He is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. He explains things in a way that is very easy to understand- and I don't even like math. I would HIGHLY recommend taking ANY class he teaches. He's also a really cool guy. Take his class, you won't be sorry!!
Best math teacher I have ever had. Bar-none. I have a learning disability in math. Mr. Conic is the first professor I have ever had, at 44 years old, to teach in a way that makes me understand. You do have to attend class and do homework. He teaches math in a way that is amazing. Wish he taught higher levels. I would take him for them all.
Professor Frank is by far the best math teacher and possible one of the best teacher I have ever had. He just cared so much and really wanted everyone to pass. He would make sure everyone would understand before moving. I was never good at math and he tought in way that made it so easy to learn. Highly recommend for people not great at math.
Math has always been a struggle for me, but he explained everything perfectly and wouldn't let you feel embarrassed if you didn't understand something. Super easy to talk to, funny, and always willing to help. His dry humor keeps the class going
Greatest math professor I have ever had. Really sad I can't take him for my next math class. First time I can say I actually learned math, not just memorized crap for a test. He makes himself available for extra help outside of class, even on his days off and Sundays. He is also a lot like Seth Rogen, he is hilarious, don't take his comedy to heart
Fantastic teacher, the best math teacher I've ever had. Teaches thoroughly and with great clarity. Forces you to think on your own which really helps things stick. Gives you every opportunity to succeed as long as you work for it. Couldn't say enough good things about this class. And he is hilarious!
He was a really great prof, funny and sarcastic af. I wish he taught higher courses. I would recommend him to anyone! He's very patient with those who struggle with math, though me may tease you. If you're sensitive then this might not be the class for you.
This is my second semester taking Frank and I think he is more than fair when it comes to grades and more than fair when it came to the final. We had 10 bonus questions, my past teachers didn't have 1 bonus on the final. i mean come on!! He def wants people to do well and score A's
Great teacher, especially considering the teacher we had earlier in the semester could barely speak English, but he was a great replacement. He is very clear in what he teaches, just take good notes and do the homework. Highly recommended.
He is a very fun teacher and sense of humor. He is very helpful and also explains the material in a way that everyone understands. Just take notes and do your homework. his quizzes are easy and test are to. theyre mostly the same questions he does during lecture time.
best math teacher ever!!! I got an A in this class and I am bad at math. He is kind and very easy to understand! He also is very funny and makes class fun!! I highly recommend him! TAKE HIM!
Probably the best math teacher i have ever had. seriously. He really cares about each student and wants everyone to understand and do well. Easy to understand, has great teaching skills, and an all around great math teacher. DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND!!
This is the first math teacher that actually invested time with me, and made sure I understood everything. We know more teachers like him in every subject
Mr. Conic was such a great teacher! He is SO nice and very willing to help! MAKE SURE you go to class since it is worth a big part of your grade. I took the traditional class w/o the math lab and I loved it way more compared to when I took the class with a different teacher and it was in the math lab. So pleased with my grade! TAKE THIS CLASS!!
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING THOROUGHLY. I really wish he would teacher higher level math still.
Makes math super easy. He breaks everything down and will help you until you understand it. He gives study guides for each quiz, test, and even the final. USE THEM!! They are super helpful. Go to class, do the homework, study hard and you will pass with flying colors.
Frank is an excellent educator, and he needs to be more financially compensated for his effective endeavors as it is very evident that he wants you to do better than you own expectations of yourself.
Conic is by far the BEST math teacher you will ever take. Like most, I loathe the subject, but he makes the material very accessible. You can literally get a B by simply showing up to every class. Math sucks. Conic doesn't. Take him.
Frank was the first teacher I ever had in college, and lets just say I got really lucky. We did this course on a half term timeline and it was still relatively easy and a solid pace, put in a couple of hours a day, listen to Frank's great lectures, and you'll succeed. Oh and by the way, Professor Conic is one of the funniest guys i've ever met!
I have never been a good math student. He made me feel like I really understood for once. Readily available for assistance, and always answers questions. Also gave out extra credit opportunities to those who worked hard (usually on days when only 4 or 5 people showed up for class). Great teacher
Conic was the best math teacher I have ever had. I suck at math and never got below a b on any of his tests, I ended up with an a in the class. He is very understanding and makes math fun. I wish more teachers were like him.
I ued to call myself mathmatically challenged! I now have hope, THIS GUY ROCKS!, he is very personably, approachable, and helpfull. I you have a hard time learning math TAKE HIS CLASS no matter how inconvenient it my be. Oh yeah, if you show up (with more than half a brain;) you'll probably get an A!
He made math fun. Always willing to answer any of your Q's. Very understanding about turning in homework if you were gone. I got an A in his class.
Great teacher. He really explains the material well.
Mr. Conic is probably the most amazing math teacher I've ever had. I took his class for fall B and even though it was an intense time frame, he made sure everyone always knew the material and went over a lot of examples in class. He also offered a lot of help in the math lab on quizzes and homework. He's very encouraging and helpful.
Professor Conic did not teach. The class was a studio class so we spent time in the class and in the lab. While in class the teacher did not explain things. He simply wrote examples on the board and expected you to know how he got the answer. I had to teach myself everything and I wasn't the only one. Everyone in my class struggled. Do not take.
Intermediate algebra would have been easier if his explanations were organized. He will write all of his work in a scattered manner when doing a problem on the board, and thus made it difficult to follow along. Several of my classmates failed this class, and "studio time" made it harder to learn.
Awesome!
Mr Conic didnt explain the material very well at all. I took his class for the Fall A term and it was awful. Instead of spending an hour in the class learning the material , and an hour in the studio performing the material , we would spend 30 mins roughly in the class watching him write examples on the board with no explanation behind it.
Great teacher
Mr. Conic does NOT know how to teach. I took a Fall B accelerated course and the man does not know what he is doing in regards to the class. He is very unorganized and unable to answer simple questions. He is very hard to get ahold of outside of the classroom, so unless you are willing to teach yourself, I suggest you find a different teacher.
Conic is a great teacher and I like how he encourages you to get help from your peers during class. Nonetheless, I already know all of the topics so attending is unnecessary for me but if you struggle with math always show up. He takes his time to teach and is super repetitive which is great for those who dont get math very well.
Funniest teacher, makes algebra not boring.
Its less on the professor more on the student. He solid in most areas.
This man has to be the worst professor out there. He has a good heart but when it comes to teaching its not in his expertise. Would show up to class 20 minutes late, be on the phone with these girls in class, be on Facebook, he did not teach. Be expected to teach yourself most of the material because he sure as hell wont
Conic can be a very good teacher if he didnt talk about things OTHER than math for 20min at the beginning of class. I took Spring B which is accelerated and he would show up late and sometimes not even cover material that was on THE FINAL. You can teach yourself though. mymathlab was amazing during the semester just take your time on the hw.
He shows up late, doesnt give help when asked, and is not very accessible
the man does not know what he is doing
You're paying tuition money to teach yourself. Conic never showed up to class. When he did, he was late, slow and not helpful at all. When he didn't show up he was replaced with a sub who went too fast in the lectures. Highly recommend staying away from this class.
Had to teach myself the material, he only went over easy homework problems during lecture. I asked him one time what I did wrong on a problem and he simply said "You just did it wrong." He also told our class he wasn't going to check our emails because he didn't feel like it, when we all genuinely needed help. I don't recommend.
Worst professor ever
Very unorganized and unable to answer simple questions.
Professor Frank Conic is really nice, funny and caring. When he explains and teaches concepts it is easy to understand as long as you pay attention and keep up with homework. He is willing to help you get back on track if you fall behind gives a lot of second chances to improve grades. My only complaint is he did miss a few days this semester.
Great professor and very comprehensive.
Conic is a really friendly guy and is really funny, but when it comes to class it can be kind of frustrating being taught by him. He definitely teaches, but when we do group work if you get something wrong instead of telling you what's wrong or guiding you he'll just say "fix it" and wait for your new answer.
Mr. Conic is really funny and makes learning the class almost bearable. He really makes you work to do the problems yourself so for the tests you should be able to do everything on your calculator. Tests are kind of difficult and homework and everything is online besides lectures themselves.
I wish I read the reviews prior to taking this course, although I wouldn't have had a choice. Mr. Conic was very unorganized. Sometimes the online tutors would have to sub, he was late. Great personality, but teaching is not for him. He often only went over a couple of problems, but always had mistakes. Very difficult trying to teach myself. Egh!
Very direct, clear, and knowledgeable. Seemed to be a fair grader, especially if you put in the time and effort. Made class and learning fun!
Late, bad at explaining, everything either goes by too fast or too slow. Stats should be one of the easiest classes ever, and it wasn't because half of the assignments were posted wrong or they didn't use the VITAL calculator that answered every question. He's an okay guy and I hate writing this, but this class could have been four times easier.
Professor Conic absolutely does not know how to teach and run a course. He gets confused by his own teaching methods and students are left to teach themselves how to do the unit via an online textbook. He does not explain problems correctly and leaves the whole class confused. I would not recommend this professor to anyone who struggles with math.
