Please take Mr. Washington. Not only is he HOT to look at, but you will succeed! He is the best teacher at Kent Campus. Wait for his class to open up if full!
He is a great teacher though. He outlines everything you need to know in your notes for you. There is no guessing on what he expects from his class. He is not the easiest teacher, but if you apply yourself you can not fail his class.
Very helpful.
Excellent professor. Explains things in great detail and is always available for help if you are having trouble. As long as you take his notes and do the homework, there is no way you will fail his class.
This class is tough, but if you apply yourself and study the practice quiz he provides, you will pass. He is very detailed and moves fast- yet is patient enough to answer any questions his students throw at him. Excellent professor!
This is one of the greatest teachers for math. He is very clear, very helpful and very funny. If I had it to do again I would forsure take his class. Hope he will be teaching additional math classes in my course lineup.
Professor Washington is the best professor that I have ever encountered in the field of math. He is helpful, intelligent and willingly to help you, as long as you want it.
Excellent teacher!!! Very willing to help any student and makes himself available often. Great at explaining problems. A little disorganized at times.
Professor Washington is an amazing teacher. His straties and methods in Algebra are totally incredible. He is the best algebra teacher at Florida Community College period! Remember that Algebra is a hard subject but it's who teaches it...
Washington is very worthy. He share the outmost secrets to be good in math.Most people think that math is hard but when he's your teacher math easy. He also is very cute:Trust me follow my methods; study & take notes.
One of the most helpful professor there is to take.
Great teacher, works weell with people
I had to drop out because the way he taught was terrible. He assigns all the problems in the book, for homework, then the next day he's teaching the next subject in the course. His teaching style is keep up or fall through the cracks and be lost.
Great Professor for Math. I loved him & he's cute too!!!
Helped me very much with math.
Mr.Washington is a great teacher that will go out of his way to help you. He always has a solution to the most difficult problem. He boost your self-esteem by re-assuring you constantly that you can get through his course. He always offer extra help!
Great teacher, one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He might move a little fast, but this is college. Go to his office, he WILL help you out as long as you make effort and don't complain, "this is too hard." He wants you to pass.
awesome teacher,hmmm... chris rock?. makes sure everyone understands before he moves on. explains material very clearly and explains WHERE we could actually use it in real life. highly reccommend but be ready to learn!!
he's teaching stlye is so out of this world...gurls he's a cutie pie!
The worst teacher ever. Chris Rock?? I don't think so. His teaching style is keep up or fall through the cracks
Let me just say this is the only class I have a withdraw(student) on my transcripts from.Always felt lost. Noting was clear.Left that call and got an A with a different teacher.
His "lectures" help out so much! I was apprehensive prior to taking his class, but now I know I will pass with an A. He is great at teaching math.
i have not fell behind nor have i lost track at all in his class you can't go wrong he doesnt he goes through every step possible and makes sure that it is clear before he proceeds hes great n he has a sense of humor n he's a cutie
He's a good teacher. I found him easy to understand when he lectures. You'll probably need to get additional help outside of class for questions about the homework, but he does try to make himself available. If you do all of the homework and get your questions answered, the tests aren't that hard.
BE READY TO LEARN! Class can be difficult if you do not attend. Prof. Washington is a great teacher and will always help you, he will stay after class as long as you need and he gets excited over math..and he tells you how bus.calc. relates to the real world..highly recommended (DO NOT MISS A TEST)
Worst Prof. I ever had. Totally biased against certain students. A real jerk when it came to answering class questions...most of the class would fail the tests he would not teach just boring lecture...doesnt go over homework. Avoid taking his classes! Not student friendly.
Very good teacher, and helpfull too.One little problem-always late, at least 20 minutes. Other than that he is very good.
all you do is take notes you have no other grades beside your test and pop quizes he likes to give after long weekends i heard he was great i was very disapointed it really hard to earn an A here
very difficult ,hes mean and rude doesnt give any homeowrk so you basically r on your own wont let you know if ur not doing well all you do is take notes

HE IS VERY GOOD MY SISTER AND I BOTH TOOK PROF. WASHINGTON AND WE BOTH AGREE HE IS AN ASSET TO FCCJ IF YOU TAKE YOUR NOTES AND STUDY THEM YOU SHOULD DO GOOD. HE DOES NOT HAVE HIS PICK OF STUDENTS, BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE HE DOES, HE TENDS TO FAVOR THE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO LEARN!!!!
Professor Washington made me understand math like no other. He gave plenty of notes so you could refer them later for studies. He also made sure that if there was a question, the person understood his answer. If not, he used another example. He is an excellent teacher.
horrible loves to quiz the hell out of you its like he attentionally wants to fail you , puts stuff on his sylabus that never happens i learned the material basically on my own DO NOT TAKE HIM
Professor Washington is the worst teacher I have ever had in the time I have attended FCCJ. He did not answer none of my phone calls as well as show up on time for class. Also, he doesn't follow his syllabus. When he would help me, he was easily distracted by phone calls and other instructors.
Had him for Int. Algebra. He has his own way of teaching, but follow the notes and do your homework and you will get a good grade. I liked him very much.He will work with you after class and he has a wonderful sense of humor. He liked to pick on me, but in a fun way, not in a bad way.
Hard for business calc. 90% of class was struggling to keep up with the pace but no efforts were made to adapt to the class needs. Notes taken (all we did in class) were not representative of test questions difficulty. Changes were made to tested areas and 'promises' made without notice. AVIOD...
Unreal expectations of students and pace, took weeks to return tests (sometimes had two tests before having the first returned). Had tests back-to-back-to-back (test5, test6 and final) on three consecutive meetings. Midterm was not offered during class, you had to take it on your own time. bad class
got a good first impression of this guy but then i started to see the real him. did not follow syllabus or revise it. tests give back to back at end of semester, mid-term give 2 weeks before the end of the term. frequently changed test dates at the last minute. won't return phone calls.
Mr. Washington is quite interesting, his notes do not reflect exactly what will be on the test. For that matter, the homework will most likely not be close to what will be on the test. However, This guy walked a complete idiot (math wise) through this class and I EARNED a C,he gave me plenty of chan

what happened to this professor?
Too all you clowns who rated him bad, you must be lazy. If you do all your homework and study you will do fine. As for those who complained about not going by the syllabus for the term they had him, we were out for Hurricanes. It is hard to go by a syllabus when the campus is closed.I studied and got an "A". Study and you will get an "A" too!
Where my ladies at?? Girls-- look good, study, and be nice. Easy A--
I thought Mr. Washington was a great instructor. I learned quite a bit. He has a great sense of humor and made me laugh every day. I actually looked forward to going to class. There were times that I needed extra help. Mr Washington was very available and helped untill I had a full grasp of the material. I highly recommend Mr. Washington....
He has his favorites! But overall he's ALRIGHT!

Prof washington is wonderful. He is very helpful and will even stay after class to patiently answer questions. I had his 8 week summer coarse. The pace was perfect not too fast or slow. He is rockin' when it comes to teaching, very good at his craft.
He does not grade homework. He only grades based on tests and pop quizes, so if you are not a test person do not take his class. He does not explain the material well and if you do not understand it then thats to bad.
If you do all your homework and study you will do fine. He deviate from the syllabus from time to time. If you do your homework the way he ask you to do it, you can get an a decent grade. The key is to go to his office and ask questions, do it.
you get your tests back a month after taking them. He tells you whats gonna be on the test . . .thats a lie! he doesnt teach for shi , dont take him
He may not go by the syllabus, but if you do the homework and pay attention, you will get an "A"!He takes longer than most professors to grade tests, but he has a life. I thought he was aaan awesome teacher, so all you people who complain, take that energy and STUDY!!!!!!! If you do not study, you will fail! If you take time, you will do fine.PEACE

It is true that he is habitually late, and it takes him forever to grade tests. But he also has some very good qualities. He is more patient and understanding with students than any other professor I know of, and I have seen too many dishonest and disrespectul students take advantage of him.
Professor Washington is an awesome teacher. Very helpfull and willing to give extra help to anyone that wants it. I have had him twice and would take him again. His score is too low, he should have a 5.0
all yall in that easy math have no idea . . .try a real course other than what you take in high skewl and you'll see how much this teacher sux
After more than two years from being in his class, I am still using what I have learned in the course of study I have chosen: Respiratory therapy. I visited him last week, and he still knew my name and remembered my children. This professor cares about the success of his students! I reccomend him to anyone!
do not take this prof he test u on things u dont go over and expects you to already know everything Nice guy but when u ask him question doesnt answer what u ask he goes into something completely different and doesn't give partial credit on test a tiny mistake makes the entire problem wrong No other grades tests and quizzes only this class is hard
DO NOT TAKE MR. WASHINGTON. HE CAN NOT TEACH. HE IS ALWAYS LATE TO CLASS. HE GIVES PROBLEMS ON TEST THAT HE DID NOT GO OVER. HALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO DID PASS PRATICALLY BEG HIM FOR THIER GRADE. HE CAN'T TEACH PERIOD.
This guy is pretty hard. I suggest taking a different teacher.
willing to answer any question or help you with anything without making you feel uncomfortable, but in order to pass the class you must do the homework!
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, HE GIVES QUSTIONS ON THE TEST THAT HE DID NOT GO OVER IN CLASS, HE ALSO GIVES TO MANY NOTES AND THE NOTES THAT HE GIVES IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE TEXT BOOK SAYS. HE IS NOT A GOOD PROFESSOR.
Prof. Washington is one of the best teachers i have ever encountered and if you didn't pass his class then you didn't do your homework like he told you to and you didn't ask questions. Because he is such an expert at his craft, i was able to successfully teach pre-algebra, fundamentals of math and Consumer math. Thanks Professor Washington.
I had so much fun in this math class when it comes to learning college algebra. This class is an easy A if you review your notes and come to class and pay attention you can pass him.He will help you no matter what and he is always available for one-to-one help. I would take him again if I had too.
Prof. Washington does care about his students, but the students have to care about the class in order to get a good grade. No one realizes the work that a teacher puts in after class is over. Prof.Washington is willing to help anyone who wants help. You can't be afraid to ask questions in his class. If you dont understand, keep asking until you do!
His tests are really hard. You think you're doing good, but you probably aren't. He's a good teacher...IN CLASS..But just not for me! :(
He is an awesome teacher! I am usually an idiot when it comes to math, but I have made and A on every test so far! I have already signed up for his Mat1033 next semester! Very helpfull, good notes!! You should definately take him if you have struggled with math.
This is probably the toughest class I have ever taken. The test are not easy in the slightest bit either. He is a great instructor and is even willing to stay after class to help you. If you want a challenge then he is the guy to take.
He is a great teacher. He is late and leaves class alot. If you fall behind, you are left behind. Forget getting ahold of him after class if you need help. He made empty promises at the start i.e tests on line, extra credit and making up tests. Out of the 20 something people I started with only 3 or 4 passing it.
He doesn't give specific homework just tells you to read in sections..Not good at answering emails or helping at all. If you like someone to go on your level then don't take him. His test dont match with notes
This is a tough class. He is a tough teacher and his test are tough as well. If you study hard, you can make it through. I managed to pull a B in the class. Be ready for a challenge if you are taking him. He will not cut you much slack if any at all.
I don't know what happened to him this semester I took him before and I pass but not this time. I was sick and miss alot of days and he didn't even give me a chance to explain me or let me retake the tests. His tests are really hard, and doesn't pertain to what he teaches. No homework or extra cerdit. He is bad at returning your calls or e-mails.
I took Mr. Washington in the summer and I loved his class. So I took him again in the fall. I am not sure what happened but he stoped teaching the class the last month, he pretty much made us teach oursleves and some of us have a gard time with math to start with. So this just made it extra hard. I really hope that he starts to teach again.
He is by far one of the worst professors I have ever had he does not go over everything that will be on the test. He does not collect or go over the homework. He also blamed our class because our test scores were low and 2/3 of the class dropped out. If you want to learn in college algebra do not take this professor.
like the others said, you have to study hard but for the most part he has clarity with his teaching
i've had prof.washington for two semesters back to back (diff. classes). His classes can be a little tough and fast paced, but he is very willing to offer remedial help. Listen carefully, the key to passing his class is doing ALL of the homework. Most of his test questions come from the book! You've got to make time to do the homework for this clas
I took Prof Washington for College Algebra and I HATE MATH and it hates me. I tried hard and prof helped me at every turn. He was very attentive and goes the extra mile to help you succeed I just never quite picked it up so I withdrew for a remedial class no reflection on the professor he was wonderful.
Haylan is a wonderful teacher. He does thru everything with baby steps and takes his time. He answers all questions and makes you feel comfortable. I have trouble with math anyway, so ended up withdrawing until next semester.....nothing to do with his teaching though. I will be taking him again. He really cares about his students. Highly Rec.
VERY HARD INSTRUCTOR. Will offer help but cancels on you. Test are extremely hard. I dropped this class and made an B+ with another instructor
This class can be hard. Work hard and do the homework problems and you'll do okay. He was helpful. He did allow us to take test over to better our grades. Some test questions can be tricky.
This is a very difficult class. Study hard and get help from outside resources. Take as many notes as possible and do ALL of the exercises in the book. There are items on the test that he does not cover in class. Also he is late EVERY day.
HORRIBLE! Thinks he is God's gift to students... He is an absolute JERK in class and WILL call you out in front of everyone!! Would randomly not show up for class. Hard to understand unless your a math whiz!
Prof. Washington, has hisups and downs. He can be hard to understand, but yet caring enough to help you out, if you ask him. He can be late, and confusing at times. He cares for his students but needs to be better at grading tests and answering e-mails.
I took Professor Washington for Elementary Algebra and I really struggled through this whole class. He seems to be a good teacher if you dont take him in an 8 week course. It was really hard and we did not have much time for him to explain anything so this was by far the hardest class I have ever taken.
He was a great teacher when i took him for intermediate algebra,but he was a horrible teacher when i took him for college algebra.I would not recommend him for anything.He does not care about the students.If you don't get the material he does not care and will not explain anything to you.
Mr Washington is a great Profeesor that teaches what you need to know in your college life!!! Plus you must go to any class to past it and he gives you study notes....
Hard HArd HArd class, if you are one of those people that will never miss class than this is the class for u !! Mr Washington its a good teacher but never goes by the book, doesnt cover everything that is necessary for you to past the class. Sometimes u even have to play around with the book in order to find the answer of an equation...
very clear. makes class fun.
Prof. Washington is a wonderful Professor, he will go the extra mile with you if you want to pass his class. He is dedicatied to his students. I highly recommend him if you looking for a good instructor.
Like any class, your attendence will help with your grades. If you have any questions, Mr. Washington is willing to help if you've tried and approached the homework. He makes you feel that you are the only person in the class and can tell when you're lost. Mr. Washington will take the time to explain no matter how long it takes.
very helpful, allowed make-up tests
He is helpful to his favorites. I don't recommend him to anyone. His test are hard and he doesn't go into great detail about the work
Good class, we were allowed to use our flashcards during tests. His online projects were very helpful. The best part of the class was the team work, we had small groups and we could all work on one assignment and turn it in as a group.
Horrible teacher. Atleast 15 minutes later everyday. Randomly absent. Off the wall method of teaching math. Hard but passible if you are willing to grind your privates against the pavement. Helpful at times but overall not so great. Tests do not reflect previous teachings. DO NOT TAKE! TAKE JENNY BALSAMO INSTEAD!! You will be so much better off!
Breaks everything down for easy understanding
Horrible teacher! Won't answer any questions because apparently he can read everyone's mind and already knows what you are going to ask. Homework doesn't count for grades and we can't ask ?s about it in class, so why didn't I just take this online? Also, we didn't get any of our grades back until the week before the class ended. Don't take him!!!!
GREAT TEACHER!!! For the first time in my life, I am getting A's in math. I have taken him for two semesters in a row (Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra) and I'm signed up for a third semester with him in the fall. I believe that the people who dislike him are not ready to buckle down and take the course seriously.
Where do I start? 15 minutes late every day. Randomly doesn't show for class. Cancels class at last minute. Thinks he is a mind reader and knows just what YOU want to hear but doesn't allow you to comment back. Doesn't teach the ridiculously hard questions he has on the tests. Takes MONTHS for him to update grades. I can go on but I am out of room
MR WASHINGTON IS ONE OF THE BEST MATH TEACHERS AT KENT.IF U GO TO CLASS EVERYDAY TAKE HIS NOTE AND DO UR H/W U SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS.HE MAY BE A SMART AXX BUT IF U DONT UNDERSTAND SAY U DONT AND MAKE HIM TEACH U UNTIL U LEARN, HE DOES HELP OUTSIDE OF CLASS..ITS MATH I EARNED MY A
I took him for busin calc. he is very knowledgeable. He just need to change his approach. Go to EVERY class do all the HW(odd in book).and talk to him. even if you fail all test he will see u putting in the effort. talk to him he will Pass you. bcuz he knows that he is a hard teacher. Dont get smart with him cuz he will get smart back. I KNOW!!!
LOL, I enjoyed reading the prev. comments, they r all true even the good ones. He's knowledgeable teacher but he will have u on your toes trying to fig out what you are sup 2 stdy while learning. He works only cert hours so if you work during the day forget it and has num students seeking help from him so you most likely can't get indiv help.
GREAT GREAT TEACHER!!! MATH IS NOT MY SUBJECT AT ALL, BUT HE GIVES THE MATERIAL FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND..DO THE HOMEWORK AND WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN HE SAYS FOR YOUR NOTES AND YOU WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM PASSING..I WILL BE TAKING HIM FOR ALL OF MY MATH CLASSES!!
You can pass this teacher's class if you are ready to make math your life for a while, i was never any good at math and have struggled with it my whole life, but as long as you do your homework and ask those questions anyone can take Mr.Washington's class and pass! believe me! i HATE math!!!
Study hard and do your homework and you will do good. He is very helpful and will go out of his way to give you help. just ask.
professor washington was extremely helpful. i was afraid that i would not do well when i took his class b/c i had not taking a math course in over 6yrs. i put my all in the course meaning studying and going to him for help. if u study and work hard u will do well..he is an excellent professor!
Warning! I previously posted a very good comment about this professor. That was when I took him for Algebra! After taking his Business Calculus, I've changed my mind! It was the most rediculous class I've ever taken. For Algebra, he is the best teacher on campus. But when you have to move on to higher math, move on to a new professor!
I took this professor once for MAT1033 in 2004,and MAC1105 2009.To be honest I will not do it again.As a person he is good,helpful,and understanding.But as a teacher he should attend professional development classes.If you see someone drowning in math confusion throw them a life jacket and let them withdrawn.He waited to the last minute to grade.
WARNING! TESTS ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT! You really have to know what your doing to be able to pass the tests, but there are still homework and quizzes to fall back on, i took him 3 times and got an a,b,c,.study hard, dont be afraid to ask for help in & out of class, though he does make you sweat your grade as he waits till the last minute to post
Prof. Washington does NOT give grades, you have to work for them. I will agree that his tests are difficult, but not impossible. I had taken 2 years off from college, and and took his business calc class, and I passed with a low A. It was a lot of work, but possible! I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to work for their grades.
I have taken Pro Washington for Elem Algebra to this class and he is a wonderful teacher. He is always available to answer any questions! I always advise people to take this class and if I had anymore math I would take his class again.
Washington is an amazing professor. Math was never my subject and shivered at the thought of college algebra. I took Washington for Intermediate Algebra and I knew from that class that I will continue to be his student. The class is easy and he breaks it down to "our terms" Tests are hard but ask questions!! Very easy on the homework too
Algebra isn't the easiest subject for many, but this professor is by far the best at making it as easy as possible. I really like his step by step approach, and that he doesn't rely on MathLab to teach for him. If you understand the material, you will have no problem passing. If you ask questions, he will make sure you understand.
loved his class. wasn't easy. he doesn't really have time to help you outside of class, go to his office and you will wait in a long line! never starts class on time, usually 10 minutes late at least. always lets you drop low test grade, and or re-take a test
Professor Washington is a fun professor. He knows how to keep math interesting. At times, he is very busy, but when one is able to get one on one time with him, he is be very helpful, and will make sure one understand the material.
Just fabulous!! Simply marvelous.
Professor Washington is one of the best that I have ran into so far. He makes sure that he explains things to you in a way that you will understand. He just don't give out grades to anyone, you will truly earn them. He dedicates his time and effort to make sure you are successful in math. I would take all my classes with him. Thank you!!!
This was not the best professor i have ever taken nor is he the worst. I believe that with him, you get out of his class what you put in it. Not for the faint of heart or the lazy minded. you need to be disciplined to succeed in this class. (or any challenging class for that matter).
Always late!!!!!! You spend more time waiting on him then anything else!!!! Willing to help out but I think it's better to go with someone else if you are not good at math!
I took Professor Washington several years ago. I took beginning and college algebra with him. He was very clear on how he taught. He would walk you through the problems step by step. He has a real gift for teaching! Now that I am a teacher, I find I copy many things he did in my classroom including his famous saying "Ask me your question."
I had mr. washington for mat0024 he was a good teacher sometimes late but when you got into class he taught. he always wanted to make sure you knew what he was teaching and would stop if you needed help. i think he one of the best teachers to have for math especially if math is not one of your brightest subjects.
do not buy the book for his hybrid class, we never once used it. the guy never misses a step. great teacher. will make time to help you. smartest guy i have ever met when it comes to the numbers. he could teach a monkey algrebra. highly recomend for even the slowest of learners.
I took him because I love his lectures because he shows a lot of shortcuts for many problems. He really didn't teach this semester and let mathxl teach us.Attend his lectures and classes; do not miss a class or you will be lost. Do homework and practice if your are not good at math and you should pass. If you do not understand something speak up!
I like Mr. Washington Class. Dont miss a class u will be lost. You will need your notes. Vey helpful. I will recommend him to anyone. Also, we didnt use the book. I didnt have one and I got a "A". Save your money. EZ
Professor Washington is the BEST! He made math EASY, and I have never, ever been any good at all at math! He always makes time for you, answers questions as many times as you need him to, and is the absolute BEST when it comes to lecture! Attend EVERY class, do homework and ask for help when you need it= pass w/flying colors! HIGHLY reccomend!
Mr Washington, is a great teacher, also very helpful when it comes to neeing help. wants to see his students do their best, and pass
good professor, clear explanation.
Prof. Washington was a very good teacher. I would recommend his class to anyone. He makes sure you understand, is always willing to help, one on one, and will help if he sees you staring at the computer screen in confusion. He's an awesome teacher, and his class is fast, but he teaches it as slow as he can, to make sure you can understand.
Prof. Washington is one of the best professors I have seen. His method of teaching is to allow you room to grow, while helping you if you are stuck. Most of the comments here are from when he taught using the book. He now uses mathxl.com and the class couldn't be easier. I would recommend this professor to anyone wanting to take algebra...
Good professor. Always helpful. Definitely recommend Mr. Washington.
I think professor washington is the most helpful teacher ever he makes the class interesting and he helps you beyond any measure would recommend this professor to anyone he is the COOLEST!!
I never attended many of his classes, but the ones I did attended where very helpful. To be honest, you don't really need to go to this class in order to pass it. I only went to 2 classes, finished early, and passed the Exit exam with flying colors lol. He's a great teacher to those who need his help. Take him and you'll see. I loved him!!
I took his class b/c I was tld he was the best on campus. I know just as much as I knew when I walked in the class which is nothing.He was late all the time,randomly didn't show and mathxl is what you have for a teacher.Ifyou need more structure please please take some else for elem algebra.If your not good in math don't take him you wasting money
This professor really cares about his students. There should be more people in the world like him. He took time with me when I wanted to quit and was waaay behind. He let me come in earlier and I caught up and made an A. It was hard work but he lets no one fail unless they want to. He rocks! I hope he knows it!
Prof. Washington is the best math teacher I've ever had. He is extremely helpful. He does not move on to another chapter unless everyone in the class understands and has no further questions. He drops the lowest test score so the final is optional. Again, extremely helpful! Great teacher! I wish he taught all subjects!
Very good professor! if math is not your top subject he is the professor to take, he breaks math down until you get it. very helpful and caring for his students.
This professor really knows math. He cares for his students..all of them. If you want to learn he will walk you through it. This man is a Godsend.Personaliy,giving caring,are just a few of the qualities that makes him Hot in my book!Seriously, there should be more ppl like him. You ARE what's up Washington!
Very nice person. Didnt really teach first part of semister. It was a self taught class until several weeks in and by then I was so confused i could not catch up. He is willing to answer questions. And did drop lowest test score.
This prof is very helpful. Most of the class is self taught until the last half of the semester. He is very clear on all assignments and what he wants. If you can handle yourself, you'll do extremely well in his class. I'm taking him again in the summer for Intermediate. I'll renew my review then.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD ! He's so cool, laid back, and helpful at the same time. Attendance is not mandatory just do the work.I took professor Washington for elementary and intermediate algebra and got a A in both and math is not a subject I am particularly sting in. I'm not taking college algebra until professor Washington is available!
I took professor Washington over the summer and he was awesome. I haven't had math in five plus years and he was patient with me. He also gave me his old intermediate algebra teacher edition book to get me ready for college algebra. He teaches it where you understand it and works with you if you need the extra assistance. Keep up the good work :).
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR HES A WISE EDUCATED MAN . EASY A IF YOU DO THE WORK :)
simply the best
I figured out my strongest subject was algebra thanks to Mr. Washington. I never used my textbook, I used My math lab to help out with the problems. and if I had any questions he helped out piece by piece, step by step. I truly enjoyed his class, and he was very entertaining.
Professor Washington is cool. The software used in his class is MathXL which is fairly easy. You don't really have to go to class but it will help towards your final grade if you do. He has no problem with helping you out just ask and he comes right over. I highly recommend him.
Mr. Washington is an amazing professor!Math was not my strongest subject but he helped me become more comfortable with it. He explains the subject matter very well. He is also patient and will go over and beyond to make sure his students understand the material. If you are seeking individual help and someone who is patient, he is your guy!
He's very clear and very patient so dont be afraid to ask a question, he LOVES to help. He wants to make sure that everyone understands the material ! Definitely taking him again!
Professor Washington is one of the most dedicated professors I have come across. He loves to teach and is always more than willing to assist his students. He is very patient. I would definitely recommend him.
Professor Washington is the best Math teacher I've ever taken. Math is my weakest subject but he has a way of explaining things very clear. He's patient and makes sure the class understands the material before moving on. If you do the work and study, study, study the study guides before the test there's no way you wont at least make a B.
I wouldn't take a class from him again. I went in this class confident, and left out confused. There is so much work that it's hard to keep up in class. Eventually, I had to withdraw from the class. Before this class I had a clean 4.0 GPA. He is smart and very nice as a person, but if you find it too hard just save yourself and drop the class.
This might shock many of you, but I had Prof Washington for intermediate algebra almost 22 years ago. Despite this, I still remember his teaching even today while I help my own children through algebra. His classes are well designed and outlined for clear understanding of mathematics. Take his class!
Not a good Professor. I strongly discourage anyone from taking him. His lectures are nothing like the textbook -since all work is done thru MathXL - you will be teaching yourself this class using their examples. Take ANYBODY else. Extremely challenging course unless you just came out of Pre-Calc or College Algebra.
No textbook is required in class just buy the mathxl online its a lot cheaper. Just take this class you wont regret it. If you work really hard and study you will pass. Gives many opportunities for you to get your grade up. Dont slack off.
Three word Awesome! God sent. Professional and very smart, excellent teacher. Help everyone! I mean everyone, even if the student just happen to be in the study area while his class is studying. This Professor move like a bolt of lightening with good intentions to help all students.
Professor Washington is the best math teacher at Kent Campus. I would definitely recommend him to all students at Kent. He goes above and beyond to help you pass his class. I was willing to drop his class and I emailed him. He would not accept me giving up. He told me to meet him before class in the classroom and he would assist me. Got a B.
He teaches in a way anyone can learn from. If you don't understand one way he has other ways you might understand easier! He relates math problems to life and he usually ends class with one of his funny life story. Definitely would recommend!!
Professor Washington's Intermediate Algebra class is a great class! Mr. Washington went above and beyond to help you if you are stuck on a topic or a problem! He made me understand and grow my love for Math even more! Although, Attendance isn't mandatory, you can go ahead of the class on MathXl. Get the Textbook and taking notes is a must!
great teacher love him....
Professor Washington is great at what he does. EXTREMELY helpful. I say extremely because I've never been a student of his (my schedule always conflicts with his class times) but he always helped me when I needed it at the math lab. He will break down a problem for you and will make sure you understand it, and then show you a shortcut. Amazing.
Professor Washington is very attentive and really cares about his students. The class semester is short so there is a lot to learn. He is willing to help but there are so many students that needs help, so of course some gets left behind like myself in some of the lessons. I did learn but not as much that I hope for.
He's nice, and truly cares about his students. My problem with him is that he's very unorganized. There were multiple times where he made the class work on homework that should be done at home, then we missed out on important lectures and had to teach ourselves on our own time. I wouldn't take him if you're bad at math, if not then you'll love him.
uses mathxl, textbook is online. he wants you to pass and will help you when you need it but will make it clear that he wont give you the answer. make sure to do the homework and remember that you can print out the Mathxl homework assignments and bring them in with your questions.
I've hated math my entire life, Washington made me forget about that. Helps with anything you need help with and tries his best to make sure the entire class is on the same page.
He's an okay professor, but he's very busy because he's needed many of times during his office hours. He doesn't really let you make up tests, he has no extra credit and lectures sometimes. You have to be able to help yourself most of the time if you take him. It's basically self taught up to a certain point.
My class was a hybrid class, which you were mostly behind the computer. Didn't need the text book, only had to pay for online class. He was super helpful when you needed. His teaching style was easy to understand.
Prof Washington is awesome!! He is understanding and is a fair grader. He doesn't expect you to come to class unless you need the extra help.
Pro Washington wont let questions be ask. Always say i know where you are going and then keep talking, he acts as a mind reader. no clue. You are too embarrass to say no because he has went through this long sermon. ans everything but the question. u don't want to look stupid, so u wait and ask others. Too touchy. seems ok person. to confident.
Professor Washington is amazing. If youre not good in math and want a teacher who is passionate about his job and who cares more about your grade then you do, I would recommend him. I took MAC1105 twice before I took him and made an F twice. I took him and passed the class. Gives 2 attempts for each test and practice test is identical the exam.
Professor Washington is a solid choice for MAT1033. His teaching style is really easy to follow and he goes over the harder problems in class on the board. If you have a question he will make sure to keep at it until you understand the problem.
He is a cool professor i like how he break it down its just he never respond to emails or office calls not good at all i feel.
Awesome professor. Like many others, math is not my favorite but this guy made it easy to understand. MAthXL is used so there is no need for a book. 5 tests and 6 test is optional. Multiple opportunities to retake to improve score. Grading is quick as its done by the program. Do the work and there is no way you can fail.
Great professor, he's very nice and over explains which is good for me. If you have a lot of trouble in math, I think he'll be able to help you a lot. The class isn't the easiest, I took the 7 week and it was A LOT o f homework. But it was also only 4 tests and attendance wasn't mandatory as long as you kept your grades up.
Dont take this professor if you care about your personal space. And the tests are online
Took an online CALC class which i thought was going to be rough. Turns out it was great. Couple homeworks/discussion a week. Quiz every week or every other week. 3 tests throughout class. All work can be done from home EXCEPT the tests, which have to be proctored. Gives multiple attempts on quizzes and 2 attempts on tests.
Hmm nice prof but I agree don't respect female personal space. The class is a little difficult but cd be better. come close and repeat himself while starring. nice but to nice.
Professor Washington is very good. You do a lot of independent work. Homework is very easy and test are easy. 9/10 recommended
I have taken a 7-week MAT1033 class with Washington and it went by VERY FAST. It was easy, just do the work on Mathxl and you will pass. He cares for his students and wants the best for them. One of the best math professors who has actually taught me step-by-step problems without leaving a step. I will be taking him again for MAC1105.
Took his class as a C session and it was the worse decision ever. A whole semester compressed into a month and a half. All the work is on MathXL. He never really lectured or taught because all his students were on a different pace. Whenever I did ask questions he gave me the wrong answers. I ended up teaching myself. I don't recommend this class.
Overall I'd have to rate this professor as poor. Syllabus instructions during the first week of class were wrong causing the entire class to do unnecessary work. His only interaction with students is a once a week email that seems scripted. Professor is very poor at responding to questions. Tests are much harder than homework. Do not recommend.
Second time taking this class I thought the first time he was just weird. staring while repeating the same over and over insist we understnad not!! awful I passed with a B class is not hard he makes its hard with wrong answers. Also touchy proffessor. at times less now than before. He should concentrate more on the class work instead of females stu
Solid guy
Professor Washington is amazing he helps everyone when ever you need it. If you show that you are trying and put in work you will pass. I will love to take another class with him ant semester
Haylen is a super nice guy he gives you feedback every week and wants his students to pass. He emails you about how you can get an A and allows retakes on homework, quizzes and tests(which is good because the tests count for a majority of the grade). Pro-student and a great teacher to have.
I believe he is one of the best Professors at Kent Campus. Really cares that you understand the material and will take the time out to tutor you if you wish. He can be found in the Math lab in the library and gives a lot of second chances, If you put in tne work you will pass.
I would absolutely take this professor again. The course is challenging because the materials is new, however his lectures are extremely helpful with homework and test. The Professor uses lab days to go over any questions students may have about homework and quizzes. Always available in the math lab. Gives you multiple chances to take tests .
Great professor, definitely would take again. Class was mostly taking notes and learning the information, he had us use MATHXL, lots of homework but it's not too bad if you keep up with it. 5 tests. and 7ish quizzes. Does what he can to work with you.
Washington was great, very helpful on homework problems. Uses Mathxl, all grading directly in the program. Gives multiple attempts for all exams and quizzes, has tutoring, and explains in class.
He has selective hearing when it comes to email responses. Does not have notes or recorded lectures available for online students. Did not answer the phone the whole semester. However, he allows a second attempt for all exams. But that does not make up for not teaching! Could not have cared less. I would not recommend.
I took Professor Washingtons MAC1105 on line and was pleased with the outcome. Although College Algebra is a difficult course, Prof. Washington was very kind, helpful & encouraging each week. He responded to all my emails & his encouragement kept me focused and on track. I highly recommend him to others.
Best Math professor I have had yet! He really wants his students to succeed and learn. He was always available to provide help outside of class. Always gave me good feedback. I wish I had him for all of my math courses! Allows you 2 attempts on tests!
He sucks. Terrible teacher who does nothing but go assignment crazy. Taught me absolutely nothing this semester. He does not respond to emails and if you sign up for live online class with him thats a lie! Its done through mathxl and its not to teach you anything its only if you need help.
Just go with someone else. I could not get in contact with this guy for the first month of the class, he gave me the wrong access code for the online course, and when I was finally able to get in contact with him, he never transferred over anything. This put me so behind I had to withdraw from the class.
Lectures are very helpful but not mandatory. Super reachable and understanding. gives multiple opportunities to catch up. Final exam is optional. The best math class I've ever taken. Would 100% take him again.
Not accessible and doesn't give you the tools that you need to succeed. If you struggle with math and are not able to spend countless hours on Youtube or with tutors you will not get a good grade in this class. I had to take his class because it was the only one available. Uses Pearson which is garbage.
I highly recommend Mr. Washington if you have to take Calc for Business. He gives you two chances to take the tests which count the most towards your grade. He is a great math teacher and does his best to get you to really understand the material. Uses Mathlab which is eh but overall great professor to take for this course.
I'm not great at math but I did well in this class. The professor was super helpful and gave lectures that were clear and comprehensible. While attending the lectures isn't required, it is super helpful. Would def recommend this class and professor!
The pros: He was flexible around a hurricane. The workload is reasonable, although somewhat heavy and repetitive at times. The exams are open all week and you have 2 tries. The Cons: Replied to 1 out of my 5 emails. No lecture, no guides, 0 presence from the professor. It's just you and MathXL. Don't expect timely announcements, or any at all.
The class is online and in Pearson's math lab. The Professor posted on Canvas at the beginning of that class after that he was pretty much absent. The first time I had an issue and need his assistance I emailed him and left a message on his voicemail it took him at least 3 days to reply. The second time I emailed him he never bothered to reply.
Do not recommend taking this class online. Everything was done between yourself & online mathlab. The one time I needed assistance, I emailed him & never got a response. You will have to spend tons of hours learning the material because the exams are heavily graded so even if you do well on assignments and quizzes, your exams could tank your grade.
Reasonable amount of homework, but exams make up the vast majority of your grade in this class. Flunk 1 of them, and you're down a letter grade immediately. Can't say this class was worth it at all.
You should expect to be unable to take your Exams on the first trip to the campus, and your messages/emails to go unread. God save you if you only have 1 day off work to take an Exam, because I can guarantee you will not be attempting it that day due to password protected Exams being assigned the wrong passwords. Save your time and your money.
MAT1033 online is through Pearson, which requires an access code for the course ($64.99). ProctorU can have issues and costs $11 per session, so be warned! The times I reached out to the professor, he responded fairly quickly and was very nice. You get 8 attempts on the quizzes, and 2 attempts for chapter tests and the final exam!
The thing I loved about Prof Washington was his ability to meet me where I was. Math was difficult and I appreciated he would watch me do my homework, ID exactly where I kept tripping up, and offer ways to help. I also enjoyed we could redo our homework as many times as we needed in order to learn as long as it was completed before the due dates.
I don't know if all FSCJ calc classes are like this, but this professor only uses the online textbook. All homework is through the e-textbook. All quizzes through the online textbook. Proctored exams, 3 of them. He didn't do ANYTHING, the textbook does EVERYTHING. WHY PAY FOR THE WHOLE CLASS IF I COULD JUST BUY THE TEXTBOOK??? AVOID!
Only class I have nearly failed being in my Junior, near senior year of college. Please just save yourself the time to go elsewhere, I promise you it'll be worth it. Never replied to emails, and all 3 tests combined are worth 60% of your grade.
Class was cool, everything was open so you can do the course work as early as you want.
Professor Haylan Washington goes above and beyond what an instructor does. He ensures you understand the topics before moving to the next set of questions. Definitely take him if Math is not your strong suit. He is one of the BEST.
Really good professor, helped me out in a tough spot.
Prof Washington is a great professor and cares deeply about his students, with that being said he's also a great instructor that makes business calc doable. I highly recommend you take him as his personallity is hard not to get along with.
he never responded to any and i mean any correspondence.curriculum is all over the place with the ALEKS module so some parts you will be ahead then some behind.he doesnt reply to explain.
Took for online Calculus. Textbook was not helpful, so had to learn from online system that provided step by step instructions as you worked through assignments. Three proctored exams you have to go to campus for. Towards the end of the course, assignment grades began being omitted without warning, causing the overall grade to drop unexpectedly.
Prof. Washington is a good teacher for in person classes. Uses MyMathLab, 3 exams which are most of your grade, lenient on when H.W. is due. Covers material well in class and willing to help you on the outside. Get a full week to attempt each exam twice! Second class of exam week is used as exam day. Overall taught the material better than the book
Great professor, he explained math in a way that clicked with me. If you have issues on a problem just ask him and he'll explain it step by step without being condescending. My class had 4 exams, all proctored. These accounted for 60% of my grade, and while tough ar fair. You get 2 attempts on them and lots of resources before taking them so study.
This class is a mixed bag. The professor doesn't provide much guidance, but if you're willing to put in the work, use resources like Unstuck study AI and the textbook, you can succeed. The exams make up most of the grade, so be prepared.
Dr. Haylan Washington was so helpful! I've never been good at math, and I was recently diagnosed with several neurological disabilities. However, Dr. Haylan was very patient with me, and explained things in a way that helped me survive this course. I would HIGHLY recommend taking his courses. He is awesome!
This professor was hard asf. He didn't give any guidance. I emailed him multiple times. Commented under the canvas help desk. Summer class here and summer classes are def hard but at least teachers provide guidance. Literally I be emailing teachers at midnight and they answer fast. Your great-grandmother could've died and he still wouldn't answer
HATE THIS PROFESSOR. He NEVER ANSWERS SHI. You could be ten feet deep in his work with a multitude of assignments dying of overwork and he still wouldn't answer shi. WTF. NEVER AGAIN. I took the summer class and he is determined to enjoy his summer. Office hours is only 2 hours for 2 days. and 1 hour online.
Professor Haylan never responds to emails and inquires. Started Summer class last May and until now in July hasn't replied to a single email. Office hours, number and tutorial help provided but he isn't even online. No guidance at all. I wished I droopped the class if I had known. Zero interaction with us students.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He does not respond to emails, my final exam link was not working and along with other students and he would died first before he responded.!!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He does not respond to emails no matter what is happening, does not teach, and the course is entirely guided by Pearson. Students including myself are having multiple testing issues and the professor could not give a d*mn. Also 60% of your grade is determined by exams (WHICH YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO ACCESS) DO NOT TAKE.
The Absent Professor does not respond to emails or discussion board questions from his students. He has very little engagement in the class and leaves students struggling and feeling unsupported. This self taught class is entirely in Pearson MyMath lab and there are 3 proctored exams which make up 65% of your final grade. Choose another class!
MAC2233 online only was the most frustrating course I've taken at this college and that is 100% due to the professor. Emailed him 5 times throughout the semester to no response and basically had to teach myself the material. No guided notes, no lecture recordings, no guidance towards any form of help. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR.
