He was wonderful in explaining things, if you needed help he would stay after and help you figure out the math. This math wasn't easy for me so it really helped to have a professor that was passionate about what he taught, and stay on the subject till everyone got it. The only thing is that he had a very strict no make up test and absent policy

Prof. Basant is very helpful if you can meet him outside of class. Otherwise, prepare to spend many hours in math lab & trying to teach yourself. He's thorough, but speeds through College Algebra. Can be intimidating when you ask questions. Good for lower levels prep and intermediate, he makes them easy but makes higher math too hard.

#1 tip -Do your homework ahead of class, there is a lot but he will go over what you dont understand and answer all questions so that you can pass the tests (which many are homework questions). The only extra credit is to fix what you missed on the tests so it's best to get less wrong. He has office hours and will give extra help.

Does a very good job teaching the material and making sure the students understand. He goes slow and clear. Most of the work is on mymathlab which he is happy to help with. He reviews a lot of the homework and quizzes with us during class. The downside of the class is how he will never let you out early and keeps you working until the last minute.

I am scared of math, but this online course was an easy A (if you do the work). Take the practice tests, as the types of problems on them are identical to the types that are on the tests!!! MyMathLab allows you to redo the homework assignments until you get 100%. 15+ hours per week homework, but I'm so glad I took this course online with this prof.

One of the best mathematics professors on campus. His grading criteria are crystal clear and he offers 5 extra credit points on every test. The best part is that the final cumulative exam is optional! He's brilliant and gives clear and easy-to-follow lectures. He's got a sense of humor and is very personable. I would take him again in a heartbeat!

He is a great teacher. He explains things very well and answers any questions you may have. His grade is heavily reliant on tests but you get extra credit opportunities on every test if you do well enough on the practice tests and the final is optional! He also uses Mymathlab which is very helpful.

Quite honestly bad feedback, lack of attention, and zero intuitive toward helping a confused student. The class is on the easy side but don't expect the professor to help at all compared to other online/in person ones.

He goes very fast, not very clear. He does give extra credit, but for me personally, it was not enough he doesn't have any extra videos or extra resources to help you in the class if you need any help, you have to go to office hours right after class. Be aware if you do choose this class it is very work heavy and this will not be an easy A.

Fully Online, 6 Test. Test 1, 2 and 6(final) IN PERSON. He will drop the lowest test. Study hard for Test 1 & 2 you may just skip final. Test 3,4,5 are at home Lockdown, no camera. REQUIRES Pearson access.Thats where you'll do the homework and quizzes and the test, This is not easy but is very than with a Camera. Take this class and put in the work

Calc with Geometry is overall a tough class, but with a lot of studying, you will do well! He goes kinda fast, but it's because there is so much material to cover. If you do and fully understand all the homework and practice test, you will get an A. He is a tough grader, but he is more than fair and the tests mimic the homework and practice test.

Calc 2 is challenging, but staying on top of the homework and practice tests can lead to success. The tests mimic the assignments, so unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for study prep. Professor is fair, but strict - give it your all!

He moves through the material very quickly and isn't always clear. While he does offer extra credit, I found it wasn't enough to make a significant difference. Unfortunately, he doesn't provide additional videos or resources for extra help, so if you need assistance, you'll have to attend his office hours immediately after class.

Quite honestly, the feedback provided by the professor is lacking in quality. There's a noticeable lack of attention to individual student needs, and there seems to be little to no effort made to help students who are confused or struggling. While the class itself might be on the easier side, don't expect much support or guidance from the professor

The professor was unprofessional, making last-minute changes to the syllabus and showing a clear lack of respect for students. He was difficult to reach outside of class and took a long time to respond to emails, which made it hard to get the help I needed.

If you're looking to learn math, I strongly advise against taking this professor. He's not effective at teaching and is unwilling to revisit previous material to ensure understanding. He also comes across as a know-it-all, which makes the learning experience even more frustrating.

The most odious professor ever. Entirely unreasonable and abides by the “I'm doing this to benefit you” philosophy while demeaning your abilities. He doesn't teach, doesn't help explain and most certainly does not understand how to work in a classroom environment.

He posted videos that I used to learn the material, but overall, the class was very easy. He offers a lot of extra credit, but please note that for the first 2 tests and last test he makes you go in person. Also, he drops the lowest test grade. The class is easy other than the practice tests which take forever, but are only for extra credit.

the grading system is extremely unclear and lacks transparency. 9 points = 1%. That info was only shared after final grades were posted. It's not a class you can coast through even if you do everything right. Be ready to teach yourself from the textbook and don't rely on extra credit to save you. You'll need strong test performance to do well.

2233 is not hard since you're not dealing with Trig functions. This class has been the easiest compared to 1033 and 1105. However, this is just my perspective, as half the class had dropped out by mid-semester. Strong Algebra manipulation is strongly needed, trust me. The professor provides extra credit opportunities and resources for study. GL.
