Professor Spengler, is a professor that only cares about the material that needs to be taught and not the learning process. He was fast paced with the material nor did he take the time out to review for a test with even with the requests by the students.

Spengler seems to get a bad rap on here but he is a very good teacher. He's caring and spends the first 20-30 minutes of class going over HW from the night before. He gives an adequate amount of HW but it's not overbearing. He gives you everything you need for the tests. Many people drop his class because they're not putting in enough effort.

this professor just straight up doesn’t care and picks favorites. he claims he wants the best for his students when that is simply not true. i definitely would not recommend.

Professor Spengler is fun and explain everything really well. If you do your homework you will do well in your test.

Taking math012 with him was absolutely horrible comes to class late every day and doesn't take the time to help you with tests or quizzes when you fail them. His teaching goes so fast and makes absolutely no sense and instead of helping us with the review he just gives us the answers which didn't even have how he got those answers step by step.

This professor is not for students who have a harder time grasping math. He writes on the board no hand outs to read along with what he's teaching, no power point, and sometimes you'll even catch him reading the text book to look for the answer himself. Most students agreed that he made problems harder then needed when explaining and is late evyday

Nothing in any of the tests/quizzes was a surprise. Would go over any homework questions if asked. Lectures consisted of the topic & section that corresponded to the textbook. Would define the rule or theory behind the topic. Then would list a few examples & answer questions. Strict with due dates for take-homes & the final assignment.

Always comes 5-10 minutes late to class. Also tends to erase the board a lot so prepare to write notes quickly. Overall, if you struggle with math or find it difficult, this professor is not for you. As he will only make you more often than not more confused. And do not expect any leniency on grades, very harsh grader.

He was OKAY at best. If you were a good math student you probably did fine, but the problem with him is that he talks very fast, even when he's explaining something. He is very nice, but be CAREFUL.

I am an A student, who received a D in this class. Very hard to try and teach yourself Alg & Trig. His teaching style is very outdated and he expects you already have a foundation for certain thing. I utilized 2 other professors for help along with the math lab and still didn't do well. Make it a hard pass for this professor!!!!

he teaches very outdated with just a board and a marker, he speaks very fast and his notes can be a mess. he is pretty straightforward with what will be on the test, he grades 4 test and few quizzes. the quizzes are one question so if you get the one question right its a 100, so getting 100 on every quiz really helped my grade

This Professor is great, like any other class if you don't put the work and effort, you will not do well. Great personality, reminds me of an uncle with bad dad jokes lol, still appreciated. I can say he is very engaging and if you pay attention in class, you will know exactly what will be on exams and quizzes. "How do you like them cherries"
