His class extremely hard. 3 test and 1 final. He give out the review before the test but it only help for couple question and the test is NOT BASE on the review. You have to study very carefully and well prepare for the test. His explanation is so boring to death. Don't take him if you had a strong math skill. Not EASY an A class.

He is an irresponsible teacher. First, he does not return quizzes or post quiz grades online. Second, he does not hand back test 2 or 3 grade until final. It shows that he does not care how his student is doing. Third, he teaches random stuff ahead of time . When he gets to that part in the future he assumes that he has taught that and skip it.

He speaks and teaches too fast. Not straight forward when teaching. Treats his students as middle school kids. Very sloppy (teaches then talks about something else, goes back to teaching). he talks too fast and making it difficult to understand. Not recommended. He makes business calculus 1325 harder than it really should be.
