Fred is the man, there is no doubt of this. I only wish I'd become a mathematician instead of an accountant.

He relates almost everything to beer or bars, it worked for me. Kinda dorky but if u study for tests you'll do fine.

I hate math and was scared to death of statistics and did great with Russel. He makes the material very clear and you know exactly what he wants from you for the tests. One has to basically attend every class, as the notes come straight from the blackboard. Take notes & study and you'll do good.

fun, cool guy, kinda dorky

His tests are exactly like his homework assignments. He explains everything very clearly and is very straight forward. He doesn't test you on information that he does not go over. He is an excellent math teacher.

All I have to say is BLAM, BLEEP, BLAM, BLEEP, cud Fred is the man that you want for math ppl. holla He loves beer and Ft. Liquordale

Great teacher. Had him for calc and now for stats. Not too hard if you pay attention and do your work. Not saying it's easy, you def have to work, but it's ok. Weird jokes, but keeps the class a little interesting...BLAM

Great teacher. Most people find him to be boring but he's cool. If you have trouble in the class talk to him, he will help you out. Im taking him again for Mth 1560..i would really recommend him.

I was scared to enter calculus, but with him it was easy. His tests were like the homework, and we hardly used the book,just take all the notes and you'll pass the class. His notes were easier than the book. Very dorky though! Blam!

Math is easy for me so I don't have a problem with his teaching. But if you get bored easily like I do, keep a BLAM and BLEEP counter. The record so far is 12 BLAM's in forty-five minutes and 8 BLEEP's in an hour.

teaches th esubject very well. Just show up for all the classes and do the homework and you can pass the class. He makes stats easy to understand. Weird sense of humor, Oh bleep! And then whatta ya know blame just like that its over!!

He is an excellent teacher. He explains everything very well and is very straight-forward. Easiest math class I have ever taken in my life. His class is boring, but he is a great teacher!

He is very dull! he does know his math though! He writes every possible thing down on the bored so lotsssss of notes! I think he is an ok teacher I would not recommend him though! be prepared to hear the word BLAAAMM a whole lot!

Wierd-o but a good stats teacher. He writes everything down and explains everything well. He tells lame jokes and says the word BLAM way too much.. which actually makes the class funny at times. The class is boring overall but GO if you wanna pass.

I did not have a problem with him as teacher. In high school I struggled with some of the topics that are gone over in this class. He does a good job breaking things down, and does not require much. Pay attention, come to class, do your homework, maple projects and study. Don't come to class late, drink/eat, or have cell phones on.

Professor Russell is an "old school" instructor. He stands and teaches the entire time. If you like this method than he is for you. He is lacking in social skills and sometimes seems weird or strange. However I will say he is super at math instruction and if you are in school to learn he is who you are looking for. Great Instructor!

He does a wonderful job at explaining everything. Tests are easy and like the homework. His jokes were a little corny but i liked them. lol.

He is a very odd person. I had a hard time recognizing what mood he was in because he face doesn't change lol, but this guy is an excellent teacher! He is extremely organized with his notes. You need to pay close attention in this class though. For the love of God, don't take your phone to class! He needs to work on helping those who need it more.

Great teacher....teaches by his notes and gives u on tha homework exactly wats gonna be on the test....all u have to do is show up aand listen and take notes....he could teach calc to a monkey.....great teacher, although his jokes are corny and he is kinda weird....still an easy A!!!

He expects you to at least look over the text before class, like most teachers do.His notes are clear and are written on the board word for word which was really helpful.He also reviewed the test giving you all the information that would be covered.I am not good at math but his method of teaching seemed to help.I would def try to get him again.

I had him for Stats. If you have to take Stats, he's the teacher to take it with. He explains everything, goes step by step, breaks it down so that you can understand it. His tests a hard! You def. have to study. I would though have appreciated it more if he would have given us a homework grade. Never miss a class. If you do you will be lost.

I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Russell's class. He is straight to the point and very clear with his notes. One of the best math professors I've had.

Stats i took him in the class room he put everything you need to know on the board all test have a study guide and you are allowed a note sheet on the test not so easy but if you do your work you will get at least a B.

I had him for 1120, 1200 & 2300. He's a great teacher. Everything you need to know, he puts on the board. ALWAYS do the homework. If you can do the homework, you can do the test. Take notes, do the homework,and you should be fine. People who complain usually don't take notes or pay attention. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF! If you want to learn math, take him!

Great teacher. He teaches what you need to know. How many people dropped his class or failed it is irrelevant. This is college. You don't deserve an easy A. The fact that he does his job, and does it VERY well, by teaching a college level math course, isn't reason to give him a bad rating. If you fail, it's because you didn't put the effort in.

He is a great professor. I had him for Statistics. He writes everything, and I mean EVERYTHING on the board. There's no homework in the class, just Minitab and Exams. He gives a really good review sheet for the Exam so you'll get a good grade on the Exam as well. TAKE HIS CLASS.

He's a great professor. He writes everything on the board. If you need extra help with homework, then visit him during his office hours.

Probably the best math teacher I have ever had. Great teaching abilities and excellent class skills. He wants to see you succeed. I recommend him 100%. He might not be the funniest but definitely the best.

Mr. Russel was the best Math teacher I ever had. He's not the most hip teacher but he knows math and how to teach it. He makes everything very clear and writes it all out on the board. If you like to eat or drink in class then don't take him but if you want to get a good grade and understand the material then he's the best!

Very clear in his notes. If you take notes while in his class you're golden. He is a bit quirky though. Overall I think he is an awesome teacher because his teaching style is very clear and easy to follow.

I took MTH-1120 during Summer semester and he is EXTREMELY helpful. He thoroughly explains everything we need to know. He breaks down the concepts and gives good notes. Learning was easy. He showed us how to utilize the graphing calculators and gave little tricks. His personality is a little off but overall very good teacher! I highly recommend

Fred is a great professor. He's a little unorthodox at times, but it's funny. He's thorough in every lecture- write everything he writes- it's worth it. He's organized and gives practice problems with answer keys for every unit. Study those and make your formula notecard neat and you'll pass. He 's very helpful if you get confused!

Very fair teacher- drops your lowest grade. He's very clear on what to expect on the tests so as long as you show up, take good notes and do the assigned problems you should be fine. He's a little socially awkward and boring but definitely knows his math.

If you're not all that great at math you'd probably like him. He explains everything super slowly, and writes down most of what he says on the board as he works out problems. He's also super willing to answer questions. The one thing I didn't like was that he didn't give us the chance to work out the problems alone before we did them as a class.

Wonderful Calculus teacher. Gives you what you need to know. Absolutely terrific.

One of the best math professors. Very lecture heavy, gives great examples. Show up to class, it helps with examples. Offers a note card for every test! Take advantage of note card. Gives out homework, grades homework on correctness not completion, get a study group together. You will have to work, but you will learn

He is an awesome Physics professor. He gives very clear notes in class, and great examples to help assist you on the hw. He hand writes the notes on the board while he teaches, which is very rare, but is more effective (for me). His homework questions follow his lectures to a T, and his exams look just like the homework. I really liked his class.

Mr. Russell is an interesting physics teacher. Unusual teaching style, but it works! As long as you show up and take good notes, you'll have no problem in this course.

gives lectures every class but you will use all of it. has a review session before each exam, there are homework assignments but not a whole lot. tries to make the lectures a bit fun by telling goofy stories and odd questions. overall a good professor but not for the lazy student

almost every class is a lecture. any class that isn't is a review or an exam. for calc2 and 3 he has 3 or 4 exams for the semester, they aren't hard if you go to the lecture. he allows one index card for a cheat sheet. he says a lot of out of pocket things but its the comic relief to the lecture. will end class early if all material is done for day
