contrary to what everyone else rated him as i thought he was one of the coolest math teachers ive ever had....granted the class is very hard and ive never been good at math....but he explains**** better than most i think...he applies the math to examples u can understand...like i said i SUCK at math but i ended up with an A plus he allows you to do an extra credit assignment at the end of the semester to supplement ur grade.

Overall, I believe he is a great teacher. I find no trouble in following what he is saying, or understanding the material. He does tend to go a little faster than I'm used to, though.

The truth behind the rumors: Lewis teaches you his method (integration by form) to use before trying u-sub. He insists you try it his way, but can use u-sub if you need to or after the first test. However, his way is easier than u-sub. You can look at a problem and just know the answer without doing work. That, to me, seems much better.

Lewis explains the material very clearly. Calculus is hard regardless. He is extremely willing to help you outside of class. There are no surprises on tests. If you go to class every day (you have to in this class) and do the hw every night, and ask him questions if you don't get something, this class is an easy A. Lewis is a very helpful professor

If someone tells you they didn't enjoy Greg Lewis as a teacher, they need their head examined!! The enthusiasm he has for the subject is infectious! He will go over a concept repeatedly in different ways until everyone gets it. He is the most available and approachable professor I've ever come across!! He makes math make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy is great! take his class. if you do all of the homework and try to understand the work, it's an easy A. the guy will help you and the tutors will too. he's very friendly and keeps everything exciting. just wear a jacket and uggs cuz its really cold! but yeah definitely take him.

This man is amazing, I had him for 65a and b and would take him for every math class if i could. He was a mechanic out of highschool which helps him make something like calc seem practical and useful. Take him for sure. the math 42 classes hate him b/c he expects alot, and honestly is preparing them for calc and diffy-q classes

Lewis is a pretty goofy guy, but he's a really good teacher. He will go off topic for 20 minutes explaining a scenario and then somehow incorporates it with the math he's about to teach you. He has a very unique teaching style but if you pay attention in class you will realize he's a really good teacher. He's all about the skeleton t-shirts too!

Greg is a pretty good math teacher. I took a similar class in high school and failed it, but Im doing well in his class. He makes all of the concepts understandable and will help you if you need it. I enjoyed his class and even tries to make math fun with a few jokes and games every now and then. He also knows a lot of math history.

This professor is definitely old-school. He expects you to work hard for a C. To get an A or B, you have to own the material. His tests are not excessively hard, but are not predictable. He will challenge even the best math students - to pass, you definitely need to comprehend the material. Collects no HW, but DO IT anyway! Props to Lewis.

What I like about Greg Lewis is that he teaches at a good pace for me since I do not understand math problems right away. He talks very loud which can be very good if your taking a morning class. He can feel intimidating at times and he can make you feel stupid with his "Math Zero" comments. I Still don't how I passed his class though.

Greg was really nice and helpful throughout the whole class. Class is pretty fast paced but he'll help however possible if you ask for it. First time in my whole life that I've gotten a grade better then a C in math!

So, I would go to lecture and I followed everything he did. Then, I went to do the homework, and most of the time, what he said related sort of to the lecture, but you have to figure out A LOT on your own. He expects students to bend over backwards for his class. He is a really cool guy, but I don't benefit from his teaching style.

I took Lewis for Math265A and hated him but I actually liked how he taught Math265B. It's one of the hardest undergraduate math classes and he made it easily passable. You have to be an idiot to fail his class, dont blame Lewis if you failed his class it's your dumb fault. All you have to do is put in an effort and you will easily pass

He's not my dad, but I wish he was. I took his summer school course over a year ago, and I'm glad I did. I thought he was well structured and clear about the math. He's human though--he fu$%@d up his own math regularly. He was very approachable outside of the class, and always willing to help if needed. I've had far worse math teachers since 127

Presents the material well. Assigns but doesn't collect homework. Your only grades are 4 tests totaling 400 points and a 200 point final. I found his tests weren't extremely difficult but not predictable. Do the homework and follow the notes and a B is easily attainable.

I am not a math person. However, I passed Lewis' class with an A, and all it takes is paying attention, taking good notes, and asking questions. He is challenging; he's gruff on the exterior; however, inside, he's the nicest guy. He's always willing to help any struggling student if they show they care. A liberal arts major recommends him!

Lewis is great! You definitely need to go to class and do at least most of the homework. He has his own way of doing things, but if you follow along, his ways really do tend to work better and faster. Thorough, experienced and awesome.

Funny guy, says "sh!t" numerous times everyday. Good instructor, but his class isn't very fair (grade based on 4 tests and 1 final only, no hw, quiz, participation grade). Took this class in the morning during my hs senior year. Worked fairly hard and got an A!

Lewis is hands down the BEST math teacher I have ever had. He teaches you in a way your bound to understand, and if you don't, he makes sure you utilize the proper resources (including him) to learn the material. My only recomendation is that you give him at least a week to warm up to you, and really let his colors show.

In my opinion, he's the best math teacher at cuesta. He'll prepare you for subsequent math classes better than any other teacher there.

Super approachable. Really helpful. Swears a lot. Assigns HW, but doesn't grade it. Grade is based on the tests and final only.

best math teacher i've ever had. everything was explained very clearly. he is tough but if you show up and pay attention you can get a good grade. he wants you to do well. i highly recommend taking him for intermediate algebra.

At first i didnt know what to make of him and i thought his teaching style was kind of weird- but Mr Lewis really does a good job telling you what he wants on the test and is willing to help if you talk to him one on one. He doesnt give answers to the practice tests though, which makes them kind of pointless. Came in hating math and left with an A

Lewis Is one of the best Math teachers i have ever had.. No wait, THE BEST math teacher! He is wonderful during his office hours and answers all questions about the subject. 242 is a very hard section! Lewis is an all around cool guy and wants the best for his students. Tests only have 10 questions because they take longer to answer.

By far my favorite professor at Cuesta. Very funny, and extremely helpful. He has office hours everyday to help his students. Grades are consisted of four tests and a final. In order to get an A, study a lot and do all the homework assigned. Amazing teacher.

The Best math teacher ever! he taught in a way i understood. if you didnt understand one way, he would teach you another way. very helpful, fun and relaxed. I like how he did not put up with nonsense.

I enjoyed his lectures. The problems he would do during them were exactly what he put on the test. He even gave us practice tests the class before exams that had the same problems as on the exams. We didn't use a calculator the whole semester and that should give you an idea of his teaching style. I swear I should have got a B but he gave me an A.

Professor Lewis is a fantastic guy. His class is hard. If you follow along and ask questions, especially in office hours, he will help you a ton. I'd recommend him to any real students. Community college is for saving $ not goofing off. Warning: only three people (of 30) had As by the end. He doesn't curve but he doesn't use +/- either. Love him!

Lewis is a teacher for students who aren't sniveling, lazy, children. Any adults who take his class who understand the amount of work required for math classes should be able to succeed and truly learn the subject matter he teaches. He has a lot of real world application to detail why math is important.

Statistics is hard. Accept that, attend lecture, and do the homework. He knows what he's talking about, he's taught this for a long time and he knows how to make things clear. Take advantage of his office hours and ask questions. He expects a lot from you, but hey, this is college.

He is a pretty cool teacher. I don't know why everyone on here doesn't like him, if you want to pass his class you just go to the test prep before every test and you are able to review previous tests he has given. If you study and ask questions it should be an easy class.

Math is my least favorite subject, and this class was hard, but I liked it for the study skills it required me to acquire, and also he is always available for office hours, USE THEM. He will walk you through everything, and there is also a tutor who speaks "fluent Lewis" and will thoroughly prepare you, use the resources at Cuesta, they're worth it

Best math teacher ever. The examples he gives in class are almost identical to what he puts on his tests, and the practice tests he give are basically the same as the test to (slightly different numberswords). If you take his class, the "Stats Fairy Godmother" study group is a must. You can't fail if you go and really study the notes she gives you

The class is based off of only tests and the final. The material can be difficult, but he only tests you on what he lectures. As long as you go over your lecture notes and do the practice test questions you will pass. If you have any questions you will have to ask him during or after class because he can be hard to get a hold of.

Professor Lewis was actually a pretty good professor. The questions on the test are all straight from practice quizzes or lecture examples almost word for word. Lectures were kind of long, but make sure to take good notes and attend class. He has a very specific way he wants you to show work on a test so make sure to follow that. Easy A with effort

Only grades the tests, often takes questions from the practice quizzes or in class examples so take good notes and study the quizzes!! Wants it done a very specific way, label everything, will give some points if you try even if its wrong. Will not baby you, can be a bit gruff but dont take it personal.

I truly liked Lewis as a teacher. He made sure his lectures touched onto people's different careers to make it relatable. Has a clear and SPECIFIC grading criteria so, if you follow his worksheets and the answer keys he provides, you WILL PASS! He doesn't grade homework but, thats not an excuse to not do it! Stats can be hard so, take your time

Do. The. Homework. My biggest mistake wasn't doing it. Mr. Lewis' tests are influenced a lot by the homework and review sheets. Mr. Lewis isn't for everybody. The type of student you are really matters because his class can be tough. He's not that scary though! Go to his office hours and study sessions. He can be very funny

I did struggle in this class periodically. But luckily, prof. Lewis was happy to help, he knew as well the class wouldn't have been easy as well so you always gotta ask questions to him personally and he'll be there to help and make your life easier! Personally, I did enjoy his class & his energy he'd bring for the class to keep us in a good mood.
