I am terrible at math but he made me understand. He will help with you and try to get down to your level even if it means seeing you before or after class. This is my second time having him as my professor. Attend every class and you will pass. Would recommend.

He's a really good teacher, gives a lot of examples when teaching and will help you with things you are struggling on. His lectures can be long and boring but they also move very fast so I recommend doing the home work ( counts as extra credit on a text ) for help. You will have to purchase a code for MyMathLab!
