Dr. Pearson is a great professor. If you dont understand something, dont hesitate to ask. He knows his math and often adds humor to the class. He has 4 test the whole semester plus the final. Before taking the test he gives us a practice test and it is similar to the test. If you miss class you will be behind.

I absolutely LOVED Dr. Pearson! He is so enthusiastic about his job as a professor and clearly loves math. I would recommend 100% if you need an easy A. It is very obvious how much he cares about his students.

I'm taking this teacher online, uses mymathlab, This Teacher Micromanages way too much, He makes you write a paragraph swearing under some type of oath before you take your exam, he makes you show your work on handwritten paper. If you don't show clear handwritten work he will drop your grade significantly, even if the answer was correct.

Amazing math professor! But, his lecture style can be frustrating. He will repeat the SAME EXACT word or phrase, no joke, twenty times in a row. I counted. And he does this several times in every lecture. I had to skip forward so much through every recording to keep my sanity. Overall he goes on a lot of time-wasting tangents. Great teacher though!

His recordings are helpful, the workload is super reasonable, and he quite literally gives you every tool you need to succeed. He's a great professor. People who complain about having to handwrite a paragraph and show their work for exams are ridiculous. We're lucky we get to take the exams online at all, most online classes make you test in person

He is one of the best teachers I've had. His lectures are wonderful, and I never had to use tutoring or other source materials because he was a great teacher. I struggle with math, so I know if I was able to make an A, anyone can if they take his class. I highly recommend him.

Take his class! He posts some great lesson videos. They are entertaining to watch and really helped me comprehend the assignments. I completed the course virtually and gained full understanding of the topics. Register for his class if you must take this course.

He was the best algebra professor. He always made sure the students understood the material and solve a problem in different ways. His lectures were always clear and understandable. Also, I loved his sense of humor. He was always positive and energetic which honestly helped in the aspect of learning math. lol.

He is a great professor and his class isn't too difficult. My recommendation is watch his recordings and take notes and work through homework on time and you'll be fine. I never used the text book, his recordings explain everything in enough depth. Only a few hours a week max. His course is well organized and easy to follow.

He explains concepts really well and breaks it down almost to an elementary level. Lively personality everyday and encourages asking questions and attending tutoring sessions if needed. Great professor! :)

I had dr.pearson last semester and he is very engaged with his students. He makes sure everyone clearly understands what is happening and teaches it in a organized manner. Other than academics he is hilarious and energetic. I passed his class with a 98% with full understanding of college algebra (more than what I learned all of high school).

Recorded lectures are online for reference. Other than that he isn't an accessible professor at ALL. Refuses to actually help you personally and will direct you to use a tutor instead. Left a bad taste in my mind towards him for rest of semester. There is a lot of homework but practice makes perfect. Easy course for the most part.

Dr. Pearson is the BEST! Take his class in person! he makes sure you understand everything, keeps it fun, and engages the whole room. You'll actually look forward to class! Ignore the bad reviews; they're likely from online. In person, it's nearly impossible to fail if you show up to class everyday.

He loves his job, he genuinely wants you to succeed, and tries to do everything he can to ensure you do! I wish I had an in person class with Dr. Pearson after this semester online. He is one that would be great for that no doubt. Really nice, informative, and clear. Never had a second guess on what to do on an assignment or anything.

Hands down the best math professor you could take. Show up to class and TAKE NOTES!! Everything he does in class is exactly how the homeworks and tests look like. Go through the practice test a couple times until you consistently get every question right and you'll be set. I was never good at math, but easily earned a 100 in his class.
