Unless your are really good at Math, i would suggest that you wouldn't take him.If you struggle with math the least bit, you would have a hard time passing the test and even understanding his teaching, because he skips over very important concepts,and his test could be very hard/

Professor Boustique is the nicest person I've ever met. He responds to emails very fast and never hesitates to offer extra help with anything. His lecture videos are so clear and well-explained. Homework is once a week and never more than 15 questions. There is no final exam. Late work is accepted, and only 2% is taken from the total score.

For my class coursework was available ahead of time so I got to work at my own pace, working full time this was extremely helpful. Lectures are clear so I didn't need to reach out but he is very open to talk to you if you have questions or need assistance.

This was the easiest/best math class I've ever taken. Comprehensive lectures, clear expectations for homework/tests, 3 tries per test. The final project is a simple assignment that's very easy. In general, liberal arts is an easy math class. You need Pearson Math Lab. I'm not sure how the professor is about emails because I never had problems.

Easy class but you have to teach yourself. Professor provides online lecture videos for each unit and then you do a multiple-choice HW with multiple chances to get it correct. you can take tests 2 times and he takes the highest of the 2.

I literally finished the class in 5 days, so I didn't pay for the mathlab fee- super easy concepts and i SUCK at math, like really bad, but i did great in this class- lectures are so helpful and easy to follow and help with the hws and tests- 1 test each concept so 5 total, 3-4 hws per concept and one project- take him for an easy A!

If you want an easy math class because you need a prerequisite this class is for you. The homework are really easy and if you ask him for help he'll give you the answers. He has lectures that you can go to that also show you how to do the concepts and he'll do some/most of the questions in class.

He was an average teacher. Responds fast to emails. He has a lecture video for every module, but they are pretty boring and hard to focus on. About 2 hw assignments a week with a test every 1-2 weeks. 1st half of the course is quizlet friendly, but the probability parts in the 2nd half, you actually have to try on.

Professor Boustique is a genuinely kind man who cares how you perform in class. He is very easily accessible outside class if you have any questions. I'm terrible at math but I was able to understand the material through his teaching. His lectures come straight from the textbook and they always align with the assignment(s) material. Great class.

For anyone scared/annoyed by Math, take him. Super understanding and genuinely wants all his students to succeed. If you get anything lower than a C its cuz you didn't even try. You have to buy Pearson Lab but you can finish the class within the Free Trial if you put in the work. No midterm, no final. He's a good man and even better professor.

GREAT Professor. Calculus 2 is one of the toughest math courses, but he walked us through it smoothly. For example, we had to memorize some trig integrals for midterms but the comprehensive final he provided them. Extremely helpful, just reach out and he makes sure every student understands in his way.

This professor is the best math professor I ever had. He doesn't have a mid-term, he opens all the assignments on the first day and you can go at any pace you want. Once you turn it in on time. He replies to emails quickly and there is one project and 5 tests. It is spaced out and there isn't really a final test it is only the last test out of 5.

This professor was so nice and always accessible; if you ever needed help, he would help you. There is no Zoom, so the course is mainly self-paced. Everything is open at once. He also posts videos that really help you understand the material better. If you are looking for an awesome professor, then, this is your guy!

Very very nice guy. He makes the lectures entertaining and he does care and won't give up on you even if you've been struggling all semester. However, his tests are very hard as well as his quizzes. His teaching can be hard to follow and I do not recommend him if you are not taking calc 2 as his class is meant to prepare you for harder math classes

He wasn't much of a professor. Everything is done through a separate website -McGraw Hill- and he just transfers the grades over. He's never responded to any of my emails. Grades are inputting very fast though, so that's a plus. No late work because he doesn't respond to emails so you can't ask for an extension.

I could've passed this class with a higher grade if I tried harder. His lectures were extremely hard to follow. For the most part, you have to learn by yourself. But he cares about you passing. In the end, he drops grades and rounds up. He makes jokes in his long lectures which make them bearable. Tests and finals is most of your grade though.

Professor Boustique's class is extremely easy if you are able to self-teach. Everything is on ALEKS, open on the first day, and he allows you to work ahead or finish the course completely at your own pace. Attendance is extra credit that will help your grade at the end of the semester. Boustique himself is very humble, kind, and funny. 10/10!

By far my favorite teacher. He takes difficult concepts and simplifies them in a way that's easy to understand. He includes lots of exercises and jokes during class. He's flexible with assignments and offers help if you're doing poorly in class so he can raise your grade. Overall, 5/5.

Has a talent for teaching out of this world. He makes sure you get the main idea of the math you are doing at all times. After he explains the rule or what we are trying to learn, he makes you learn hands-on by giving you problems. Makes jokes constantly, which I found extra funny. Cares about your learning, and he is fair when grading the tests.

Mixed-mode class with in-person tests. Attendance is 10% of your grade. He doesn't explain well, most students are lost, and he just complains instead of helping. You'll need to study a lot on your own or go to tutoring. If you don't have time for that, DON'T TAKE THIS WITH HIM.

This guy is the best. I took him for business calculus and was nervous since I hate math and he made the class very easy. Light homework all on pearson, and three tests. No cumulative final exam. He gives partial credit on all of the questions on the tests and grades them very lightly. Also gives a practice test with answers. Take this guy!

terrible professor, he was late to exams, terrible lectures. It is very hard to understand him because he skips too many steps while explaining, and expects you to know everything already for that matter. He might help a little if you ask but then he goes again to skip steps in the procedure while explaining. Overall, does not know hoe to teach.

A lot of it is just breaking down everything you learned prior and relearning it to a higher degree. I would say to practice outside of class by a lot because there are only so many examples he can give you in class, you need to practice a lot. Overall, I liked his teaching style and how he pushed me to do better. Exam HEAVY.
