Sorry but his british accent threw me off. For some reason he thinks Math should be taught verbally instead of visually. BEWARE! Do not pick this teacher!

He's probably a good person at heart, but he was the worst Math teacher I've ever had. I don't like to say bad things about people... this is hard for me. Please don't take this teacher. He is **horrible** at teaching math.

this is the sorriest excuse for a math teacher ive ever had. dont take this guy unless you like a teacher that constantly messes up problems and goes to a corner to work the problem out to himself while you wait for ten minutes in the silence. hes a pos

dont take him. jones sucks

He does not make any sense, I would never recommend him as a teacher, be prepared to teach yourself math from the book. He does not even tell you what to do. He is horrible...He likes to preach about random stuff...DO NOT TAKE

Do yourself a favor, and crossed out his name from the catalog so you do not make a big mistake of taking his class. Very rude and mean.

most horrible class i took ever!! i got a D. i studied and stressed my ash off, but i still got low grade on tests and everything. he doesnt teach at all! and if he does, it wouldnt make ne sense. you have to learn CALC by urself by studying the book!

Sucks! Bad! Doesn't know what he is doing. Talks to the board. Bad accent. Makes mistakes on his own problems. Tests unclear. Pop quizes given often. Overall a bad teacher!

Guaranteed the worst teacher you will ever have. Do not take this class you will be very sorry!

I can't believe he is still teaching at De Anza. He is such a bad, mean and rude teacher. He needs to learn to help student succeed and not fail.

jones really sucks ass. he is unclear about his own work and everything else. he also lectures about life teachings and gets off subject. he has to be the worst teacher ever.

very hard, unclear, mean when ask questions, he sucks!

quizzes were hard, responsible for own homework, tests were HARD, unclear when explaining things, skipped through book without any order, not clear on what section is being covered, did NOT go over homework until day before tests, one of the worst teachers I've ever had!

While the subject matter wasn't hard. The teacher is VERY incompetent & unorganized. He is rude, doesn't know how to explain, doesn't like answering questions & goes off on tangents. Loves to give surprise quizzes. The students who say he wasn't that bad were probably one the several students in the class who took trig previously.

!Warning! When you see Jones in the math section of the schedule of classes; RUN!!

Make your questions under six words or you won't get your question out. If you get to ask your question, he'll digress and will never answer it. He lectures more on good life habits than mathematics. He isn't able to get the correct answer on 60% of all the examples he works in class.

I dont even imagine there's such an instructor like this guy. Hes certainly the worst one I've ever had! Eventhough I got an easy A with more than 125% overall, I have to admit that he taught me nothing except for the independent study, which means that I had to study myself and do all the homeworks in the book! Poor for all the students taking him

Oh nooo he was so horrible. Muttered on and on about something...but no one understood it. I think he's one of those geniuses who can't connect to us. He's so crabby! Ask a question and you'll get a lecture about how they told you to act in England. And then he'll get upset because you don't understand it and he has to waste his time explaining.

1) Don't take him. 2) Check his answer sheet to the test. It's often wrong. 3) You had better be able to teach yourself from the book, otherwise you will flunk. 4) His test questions are either extremely basic or one of the "exceptions" to the rule. And they're way too long for the time limit. 5) Don't ask questions. 6) He dislikes young people.

If you ask him how to do a problem he starts it, makes a lot of mistakes, and if it gets too complicated, he stops and tells you to solve it on your own. Tests are way too long for the given time limit. Spends more time lecturing you on how you have to learn this stuff than he does teaching. Keeps you after class about 10 min for nothing. So boring

Do not take his class. Tests are way too long and never enough time to finish. He cannot write legibly on the board, very hard to read and on top of that he makes lots of mistakes, which in turn makes the problems virtually impossible to follow. Makes fun of students, hates it when people leave his class. Doesn't use the book almost at all.

Do me a favor. Take this class and help me explain how much this guy sucks. I don't even know how to explain it. He's horrible.

worst teacher ive ever had. messy handwriting messy everything, his clothes are always white cuz he wipes his chalk covered hands on them, his hands are covered in chalk b/c he's always making mistakes. couldnt follow him at all, went to the tutor center and learned the stuff pretty well, but failed the test cuz he doesnt teach w/ the txtbk at all.

This guy isnt good, Stay away from him. he makes random jokes and he isn't funny. he wastes alot of time in class talking about nonscence and doesnt teach well at all. mostly self study but even that often doesnt work cuz his exams are really hard. its either 100 or nothing. no extra credit etiher. STAY AWAY

This guy is very very hard, if you want to fail, then take him. When he is talking,I don't think anyone understand him. Sounds like he is talking to himself. Tests are so hard. He expects us to finish tests in 50mins. Even though students talk to him,instead of help students, he would blame on the students. The worst teacher in De Anza

I feel as if he should just retire. There are times where he starts talking and writing on the board and than he pauses for 1 or 2 minutes and forgets his train of thought. He is British and his speech is no distinguishable. When he writes on the board you can not read it. His response is that he has it in his genes. WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!

This guy is just awful. Treats students with undisguised contempt when they commit an egregious act such as asking him to explain a homework problem. Worst teacher I have ever seen.

very inconsiderate. he times the quizzes and refuses to take breaks. avoid this guy!

he does not even give out the green sheet at the begining of the quarter. shows no interest in teaching and makes the class sleepy.4 exams, quite hard. does not give extra credit for wrong answers.waste of money, waste of time

The worst professor ever. Gives no homework so your only graded on tests which are impossible since he doesnt teach. hates america and all his students. Said america was going to be the next third world country because we were so stupid then talked about cats for the whole two hour class. DROP HIS CLASS IMMEDIATLY.

This the THE worst teacher I've ever had and he doesn't care whether students understand material or not. He mumbles a lot and explains something with long pauses and gets lost in the middle of explanation. Stay away, I wish I've read reviews on him before I took the class.

Seriously I don't understand why De Anza let him teaching(especially when everyone is crying for budget cut)He's in fact the worst teacher. Never prepares for class,spends 1+ hours on 1 prob,makes tons of mistakes to be corrected by students n talks about BS for the rest of time.No one listens to him in class coz it won't help u understand anythin

This teacher is the WORST TEACHER EVER!!!most of the time i am able to teach myself the subject in my other math classes through the book.but this guy doesnt even use any of the material from the book.He writes his own test in these weird ways that is sooooo confusing.I would avoid this guy. everybody should just not sign up for his classes.

This guy needs to retire. His teaching methods are crude, very boring, very hard to follow, and worst of all, this guy talks about the most random things ever. In my one day of class with him, he ended the class talking about pink dinosaurs, and unlike other classes on the first day he didn't let us off early. I changed classes soon after.

If you are a natural at math and can teach yourself calculus, take Jones. Otherwise, steer clear. Jones' handwriting is illegible. He is very unavailable and unhelpful to students. Lastly he's very boring so it's hard to stay attentive in class.

Don't take this class. Period

He is one of the worst professors I've ever encountered. He confuses you and students have to correct his answers during class lecture. You must sign and out for every class. All 4 exams are timed. RIDICULOUS teacher. Do NOT take him as it's a waste of your time and money.

Worse Instructor ever. He needs to retire. Do not take his class. He is arrogant, cannot teach, does not follow the material he is supposed to. Handwriting is not readable, unclear and many mistakes, nonsense sometimes. You cannot hear what he says either. He does not answer your questions and makes you feel dumb for asking by just staring at you.

Omg.... That is all. He gets frustrated when we asked for help and responded that we're not children and we should know the material.. Aren't we here to learn? He is too senile to be teaching. De anza is going downhill because they kept him through budget cuts. He gets one stat because I had to.

Mr. Jones is horrible. I dont want anyone to go through what i'm going through this quarter. He is completely useless unless you know the subject like the back of your hand. You cant read his handwriting, and his back is facing you most the time. He gets frustrated and lectures you when you ask for help. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT TAK HIM!!

DONT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!!!!!! he cant teach for his life. He will be asked a simple question and wouldnt know how to answer it so he goes back to teaching us the problem, he would spend half the class period on one problem and when he write on the board, his back is facing the class. its the middle of the quarter and half our class doesnt like him

unrecommended for all student.He can not teach, sometimes try to teach the class a program he cant even solve himself and the student have to give him help, very unclear when writing, hard to read his writing even if your in the front row, feel frustrated when doing his test, way too many question to answer in time given.

this teacher jumps from topic to topic, always forgetting what to say, and in my opinion to old to be teaching as for driving..

This guy is hilarious... He goes up to the chalkboard every day with his back to the board and talks nonsense for an hour that not 1 person is paying attention to... He is the worst teacher ever but if ur great at math and enjoy sitting in a classroom surfing the internet and texting this is the class for u... He's 99 yrs old

He is by far the worst teacher i have ever had. he will ramble on about one problem the whole class, and give up... passing this class is only possible if you teach the material to yourself. his last test, i couldn't finish because he worded some problems wrong and i had to redo a lot. you will not learn from him. only good thing is the curve.

I love math and i dropped after the first week. This teacher is talks quieter than the A/C (even when youre sitting front row), faces his back towards you 99% of the time, never explains steps in an problem, and he doesnt follow the workbook or let you use a calculator. The only plus is that he's british and has a cool accent (when you can hear it)

This teacher appears to have Alzheimer's and expresses the same symptoms as my grandfather when he had Alzheimer's right before he died. When a student's phone rang in class he said "Pardon?" as if someone had spoken to him. Avoid at all costs.

Do Not Take. His lectures contain scribbling onto the board in a tiny cursive font that is unreadable to all but him while rambling. Sin = rln, Cos = ior, and Tan = lon. The only way for me to take notes is to take pics of the board each class and decipher it. Never uses the book, and tests are highly memorization based. Seems to have Alzheimers.

NO COMMENT. TOTALLY AWFUL.

here is a perfect example of a hopeless teacher. he doesnt follow the book, doesnt teach the material, just highly specific examples of a problem, usually involving sinh and cosh, and his test are not easy. the only good thing is his curve is massive, but there is a reason y the curve is so large, no one gets the right answers

His teaching style is shut up, listen, don't ask questions, and study yourself because you should already know it. His pace of teaching is extremely slow and problem specific. The worst professor I've ever seen or heard of. If you take it get a tutor.

Dropped his class the first week. Could barely understandhear what he's saying. The dude next to me even complains how this instuctor confuses him with things he already know. He's also strict. Whenever someone asks a question he would cut them off and tell them he's not yet talking about that subject. Ugh. Goodluck to people taking his class.

if you want to learn real things, go to other professors.

Boring class and not a very good teacher. Most of the class was confused and didn't understand what he was saying or teaching. When someone would ask a question, he couldn't here them and goes on with the lesson. He makes a lot of mistakes even on simple math and people have to keep correcting him. Also, he contradicts himself so no one understands

As many others have said, he constantly makes mistakes and contradicts himself. He also often gives unassigned pronouns so no one knows what he's talking about ("this I just combined with that right there but make sure it's not there or that"). Tests are not about what we went over in class, and he can't hear or understand any questions asked.

HAHA this class was a joke. Literally showed up half the time. If i did show up I'd leave halfway through class. Super easy tests, and really boring lectures. Just take him if you need to pass any precalc classes or if youre good at math. If you really wanna learn take someone else. AVOID HIM.

Does not explain the subject well, But gives curves on tests, would not recomend or retake

I have never written a review quite like this. I highly recommend you do NOT take a class offered by Professor Jones. If you are a serious student who wants to be treated with mutual respect, please look for another professor.

Go ahead and take the class if you wanna go to hell!!! Gud luck
