this teacher is a dick..hope u dont have him..
Had him last semester...and whoever is taking him now!!! Prepare 4 HELL!! DROP HIM!!! This guy makes precal seem a lot harder than it is.He shouldn't be teachin at baruch-he needs to retire. Will make your life Miserable, give you C's & D's & lots of hw!!
this teacher sucks, makes stupid comments and talks about his life and unrelated things in class, his tests are made so you will fail them, if want to take precal over then you should take him
Yo this guy needs to RETIRE!!! He sux, he is a jerk! Cha-la Cha-la. WTF??? This guy looks like he escaped out of San Quentin prison. He is JERK!!!
makes dirty jokes and laughs by himself. thinks hes so f-ing funny. the work isnt so hard but when you have a terrible prof. you fail. i dont recommend him at all.
This is the worst professor I ever had in Baruch. I have him for Sta2000 and I want to drop the class. He is so old that he needs to retire. He will give you the exam at the end of the semester so you would need to know all the information. Cha-Cha,
HE is the worst! HE should retire like NOW! He is too old to be teaching. I feel like i'm learning nothing at all. Talks too much about things unrelated to the class. Stay away!!! LIkes to fail students and laugh about it.
He is the worst. He will mass up with your grade. I took him last semester had a 80 average and he gave me C because one of my excel wasn't perfect. He should retire. The worst professor in Baruch. He has no pity for students. Please don't take him.
Ladies watch out...
He doesn't teach and is not helpful. He is obviously cocky and is straight out rude to his students. drop him.
DON'T TAKE HIM!!! his exams are very hard, he keeps writing things on the blackboard and you'll never understand them, he gives lot's of homework, and attendance is a big thing for him.They should get rid of such a bad Pofessor!!!

Trala-Trala. This mutha****a is sooo mean. He cannot teach. He doesn't know what he is talking about in class. The worst one ever!!!
One of the worst teachers i had at baruch. only helpful on evaluation day.
It is a shame to have him as a Baruch College professor. He is too old to teach, he sucks. Dont' ever take him.
very stuck up..he does give curves for his tests though..two tests i got 61 and 45 turned into 79 and 58..got a C in the course while i was praying to pass..if you ain't so hot in math i recommend some1 else. i never wanna hear some1 say trala trala again
Word to the wise-If you LOVE to STRUGGLE the entire semester with C's and D's you'll LOVE his class! Drop him A.S.A.P!Rude, very impatient, and extremely critical! With that said, to those who still don't listen....2 words...GOOD LUCK!
its time these students stop depending on professors to teach them what they should have learnt from 1st grade. I beleive professor Barone is a man which every student should encounter on their first semester in college to allow them to be more motivated
stay away. he is awful. Mean and arrogant. He knows alot but cant relate it to his students. I had him freshman year it was like walking into a fog following a really good teacher in 11 and 12th grade in HS just prior to that.
Barone is the most arrogant ,unclear teacher i have ever had. He takes great pleasure in your confusion and he makes the topic so much harder then it really is. Dont take!!
This man is a total jerk. He never explains things clearly, he likes to skip steps. If you ask him for help, he is very rude. Practically everyone in the class failed. Don't waste your time taking this professor.
This guy is whack; if you do not take notes, he will give you a bad grade. He just wants attention and respect from his students, but he refuses to extend those same factors to this students. You do not need this dummy to ruin 3 months of your life.
PAY ATTENTION CLOSELY. He goes so fast that if you blink you will miss a whole chapter. Make sure you study the book and pay attention. He is no piece of cake.
He's not too clear and when you ask for help he goes around it and sort of belittles you for not knowing it.
Oh my God, this guy means well but his nose is so far into his Math text that he doesn't know what is going on. I got a 34 on my first test!!! I sit there the entire time hoping it's just a nightmare and that I'll wake up soon. Trala trala!!!
i learned a lot but it took work. see him during office hours if you need help.
A great teacher. Really cares for his students and goes above and beyond to help us. I've been able to request extra-credit assignments to help my grade. He's always willing to stay late after class to work through problems. A really brilliant mind and a funny guy. Hot, too.
Very knowledgeable but not helpful. Makes you feel stupid for asking questions in class, like you should already know the material before hand. Do the homeworks, he checks them before each exam!
Barone wasn't THAT bad,if you do the work then you should be fine.These ratings are so unreliable. Barone spent most of the class time going over the homeworks and answering anythng that you don't understand.BE ACTIVE then u'll be fine.HOW CAN U FAIL OR DROP HIS CLASS?he even gave out his old tests
He makes material much much harder than it really is. You will get nothing but very bad grade.
Just do the little bit of homework he assigns on time and you'll do fine, his tests are easy and he always goes over questions you have on anything. Very helpful, and funny in a quirky way, nice guy. These people on here are just bitter because they didnt do the work and got screwed because of it.
He is the worst professor in Baruch. Studied hard for this class and earned a grade of C. If you can please choose another professor. He gives hw every day and 2 midterms and 1 final. His tests are pretty hard because what he teaches in class no one understands. He is mean to students.
Run Forest Run; run out of the classroom! You poor freshnmen are screwed! I got an A on all my other classes but only a C+ in this class!
He is the worst professor ever. He does not teach you, but only gives you what to read home. He is absolutely mean and yells at you in front of everybody + he is not fair at all! He is stupid, guys, not funny!
Very fun-loving professor, and well always make you fun.
he´´ll make u laugh with his weird comments and his trila trila but u wont be laughing when u get ur grade - screwed my gpa and i´m just a freshman
The meanest teacher that I have ever had in my life. He made me cry more than once. He makes it obvious that he doesn't like teaching and makes u feel stupid when you have a question. Should NOT be allowed to teach.
looks like george carlin, but no where close to as funny. He'll be laughing last when you get your grade too. He gives gigantic curves on tests, but even with the curve it's hard to get over a 70 on one of his tests. DO NOT TAKE BECAUSE YOUR GPA CAN GET SEVERLY SCREWED UP!!
Meanest Teacher EVER!!!!
the worst professor i ever had
Dont take this professor. He is the worst. But he is old and very very very good looking
HE IS THE MAN. CURVES TESTS AND GIVES U COPIES OF HIS OLD TESTS TO HELP U STUDY. HE IS MAD FUNNY AND WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU.
Barone is truly the worst professor I've ever had. My GPA is 3.7 and I had to drop his course. He is mean to the students and puts you down if you ask questions. He acts like a smart ass all the time. If I could I'd get a lot of people to sign a petition and get him out of Baruch. Shame on him, he doesn't belong there. Take someone else.
This guy doesn't isn't a professor to teach, he's there to make you feel like dumb a**. Don't miss any classes, or be late! It's a self teach course. Even when you ask questions, his answers are more confusing then the lessons. Don't take him, take Hartley.
He is an arrogant know-it-all who loves to put down students if they don't ask the right questions or even enough questions. He intimidates and discourages. I averaged a 3.4 last semester and now I come out of his class with a C+. Please, please, please don't ever take this guy. Worst professor I ever had.
He is very unclear while teaching, makes to many mistakes, spends to much time on HW which doesnt help, I would rather him spend it on actual lessons for once. Understanding that his teaching methods are horrible he hides his ass from the department by giving huge curves on the test and alows an index- cheat card on every exam (Doesnt help).
This guy's lectures are extremely boring. He is very unclear and sometimes sidetracks from the coursework. He tries to be funny but fails miserably. The one good thing about him is that he does curve very much on the exams. Take him only if you can tolerate a boring professor.
Even though he is old he is very cute and hot. I actually liked him as a guy. He is very nice and his exams are very easy. If you get less than an A you have to be dum.
Take into consideration that I'm already mathmatically inclined - Barone was easy. I didn't do the homework on time, didn't really study too hard before the test and walked out of there with a A-. HE CURVES, GIVES COPIES OF PREVIOUS TESTS, AND GIVES EXTRA CREDIT. If you get below a B, you're not really trying hard enough in school.
i had to drop him. classes are difficult. he teaches these crazy questions that are really difficult. i took precal 3 times, first 2 times were dropped because i was failing but when i took it the 3rd time with a different prof, i got an A- he class is hard, dont miss a class or ull be very behind.
Clear teacher. Gives very little homework which is helpful for the tests. The test were all mulitple choice. and if u ask him any questions, he'll answer it.
I really know that he is a good professor. I am taking him this summer, and he look interesting. Very Good joke...Student love when he curve exam..He is very nice and hot...This is a Good PorfEssoR.
Knows his s**t.
He is a very good professor....Just don't be late and go to class everyday...
This guy is completely rude. He makes jokes with sexual innuendos and expects everyone to laugh. He is not very good at teaching. Avoid him if you can.
He was wonderful. He gave curves on each exam and was very helpful with the work. I got a B in his class but there were other students that did a lot better probably. Trala-Trala!
Awful!!!!!! Stay away! He gave me the first C since I have been going to this college. My GPA is 4.0 He will screw it big time. I dont know what all these other people are talking about. He cant teach. His lectures are useless. Lazy guy does not look at homework or extra credit problems, but punishes you if you dont do them. Stay away!!!!!!!!!!
He'll literally stand next to your desk if your sleeping and start talking really loud in your ear. The class sucks to begin with but he made me wanna kill myself!
Stay away from this professor if you can. You might get stuck with him as a course class but that smartest thing to do is drop it. He makes easy stuff much harder than it has to be. I was a A student from high school and now find myself failing the class. This is a real warning: stay away from this teacher or you are almost guaranteed to fail.
Run away as far as you can-this man cant teach for the life of him-belittles people like no other-watch for his snide comments-if you get stuck with the class like I did, sorry for you-if youre thinking about dropping it and cant decide you should drop it if you find yourself saying trala-trala!!
Dont take this professor. all he does is tell you to do the hw and doesnt teach anything. when you ask him a question he doesnt fully explain anything and always is sarcastic and tries to offend you. drop this class ASAP if you get this teacher or else be prepared to be stressed every single class with him
everybody tells true.that's right(he is boring......but math is boring).but you have to know that. he curves a lot. my scores were always below 60. but the final(very easy,you just need to know how to use calculator) I got fair score and grade was good :-) he is ok. not so good ,not bad!
The worst professor you can ever get. He enjoys giving bad grades to students and trick them on the exams. He is not the kind of professor who helps you to get a better grade. He gives extra credit problem but the he is so confusing that you dont get what he says. He is also arrogant. Stay away!!! AWFUL!!
If you want to have a good reason for dropping out of college, come see this man. He will contradict all of your previous knowledge of math and make you want to scratch your own **** until you shed a skin.
As a statistics professor he is awful, he will overcomplicate and shrouds easy concepts. The material is not as complicated as he makes it sounds to be. With me he curved exams, the homework and exams he gives are far from resembling one another. If you do the homework and listen you'll be fine.
i failed the course.i was stupid not to drop it when i had the chance.dont make the same mistake.if u know u're failing,drop it!as a intro to cal prof he was awful.he says simple things in a roundabout way so for beginners w/ no cal experience,it's really confusing.he hates the department,always trying to go against them.it's actually quite funny.
I HATE HIM...HE OVERCOMPLICATES EVERYTHING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD HIM AND I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER...NO JUST WORST. SAVE YOURSELF AND NOT TAKE HIS CLASS, EVEN IF IT IS THE LAST THING LEFT IN YOUR SEMESTER TO TAKE...DON'T DO IT
TOO arrogant, professor give hmwk and teaches class, but when it comes out to exams, Problems are very hard. This person is not recommended to anyone,has no sense of humor and will not be easy, NOT REcommended to any Good student that tries to get good grade, BE VERY CAreful when u chose this guy, YOU Have been warned
He knows the material very well, but the book is better at explaining it then him. However, his tests are NOTHING like the homework problems. He gives three tests and checks homework at every test session. He is VERY arrogant, rude, and not funny.
one of the worst prof!!
This man has got to be one of the worst at baruch, among others of course. He can't teach and his exams are brutal with a captial B. This man is a monster. if you have to take night school to avoid him take it you will not regret it. but if you take him you will regret it for the rest of your life...
if ur good at math its easy becuase you teach yourself the material.. tests are tricky b/c theyre all multiple choice and theres only like 10-20 questions per test. horrible profesor, just talks and talks non-sense. better off taking another professor!
This teacher is a very abrasive and sarcastic man. The class should be called "Teach yourself Pre-Calc" He does not explain material clearly, and seems to have no organization skills whatsoever. If you make a comment or don't ask a question up to his superior Barrone intelect, he will turn it around mid speech and stab you with it.Worst prof ever.
The best Professor of Math I've had in years. I have no idea what everyone else is talking about. He rocks!!
I am as they say mathematically challenged, but I passed math and THIS professor helped me do it. He goes off on some tangents pardon the pun, but great method of teaching. Everything was broken down just enough. He is willing to help you, just be honest and ask for the help. Kind of funny in a corny way.

You study you go to sacc and you gradually get the material...Until the dreeded exam. His exams are very difficult. why would anyone do that. Not all of us have Ph.D's in math. The class is hard enough with out his stupid bastered like exams. instead of making our lives a little easier he makes it even harder by giving difficult exams. Why, Why!!!

Some of these people are lying! He is really terrible. I took hm a few semesters ago and I had to withdraw. I took a different prof the next semester and got a B+. Math is hard for me, and this man made it impossible. Also, he will not help with calculator use; you must get tutoring!
The only thios good about him is that he curves some of his tests. IF you ask him a question he would somehow put you down and he makes himself alot higher then us. He goes by the material so fast because he takes for granted that this stuff comes easy to him. I wish I had drop his class. Im saying about 75% of the class will fail this semester.
What you people have to understand is that Prof. Barone comes from a different world. World were only he alone lives on. In my view he never should have become a prof. but instead a NASA astronot. Now that is a job were he could have gone into space and stayed there for ever. Infact lets send jack into outer space for good. All the wars would stop.
He isn't as bad as everyone else says, although much of the class dropped out. If you do the homework, the concepts become clearer, and if you don't understand, you can ask him in class and he will answer the questions. His tests are extremely hard though. Ended up with a B-.
I think he is a good professor. Following his syllabus, you can know what is important and will be tested. Before test, he will give you a good review of the whole text and the points that will be tested. He is so helpful that you can ask any questions for him. At all, I think he is so great.
I took this man a few semesters ago and came to warn anyone not good in math do not take him. He is terrible I passed because of SACC, you will regret it I dropped this class before I had him so I couldnt drop it again that would had been too far just like him, too far gone. Yes he does explain but this class best suits those who are strong in math
He is one of the worst professors ever to teach at Baruch. He belittles and humiliates you in class. If you ask a question he does not really answer it so you will still be confused. NEVER answers e-mails and is def impossible to get in touch with. Overall, he says one thing and does another and is one of the worst teachers. Did not like him.
hes mad smart, but not a good teacher. he doesn't help u to understand and goes off on tangents. no1 passes any of his tests in my class. u have to be on time. he doesnt collect hw but will ask u about to just to know if u did it or not. hes very sarcastic and makes u not even want to open u mouth in class. hes very HARD but a nice man... i guess.
I think he is a good chioce for Math 2610, you gotta have some interest in Math and be good at it. He gives time every class meeting to ask "questions on anything?" His exams are fair, not easy. He is pretty funny in his own way. You'll do fine if you do the work.
The person below this comment is dumber then a bucket of rocks. This man answers students questions from beg of class till the end of class. Because this man gives homework that no one in the class can do except him. His tests are only fair if you took the course before. Keep away from this man.
bad, bad professor. Don't take him if you want to get knowelge and get a good grade.
he often went off topic, sometimes doing a problem and not answering it, having hard time understanding for whole class. if u r good at math, then take it, if not, just forget abt it. won't collect hws. need to bring calculator everytime or he will make fun of u. 3 tests and 1 final the only best thing abt him is HE WILL CURVES! THANK GOD HE CURVES
Can't stand this man. This man is a Jack A**. Take him at your own risk. trust me, you wont be happy with him at the end of the semester
I went through hell and back with this professor. He is a hypocrit. He laughs at you and makes you look like the jerk if you don't understand the material. He said that all you need to worry about is the final and you will pass his class. WRONG!! He will fail you if he can. I had to put up a fight for days to get him to change my grade.
horrible teacher. i didnt learn a thing and his class and actually LOST prior knowledge in precalculas from high school. you ask him a question and he never really answers it. he also thinks hes funny....WHICH HES NOT!...dont take him
This is the most sarcastic prof. ever. He once suggested that students call him on his cell if they will be late. Another time a student came in late and he said, "you think you can show up any time?" What do you think this is, a house of ill repute?" The MTH department is hell. It is all about the final and you can't pass w/o passing the final.
PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM EVER. THE WORST MATH. PROF.I EVER HAD. I FAILED HIS CLASS AND PASSED WITH OTHER PROF. AND I REALIZED THAT PRE-CAL. IS NOT THAT HARD. I LOVED PRE-CAL. AND HAD A "B". HE IS NOT HELPFULL AT ALL.
H O R R I B L E !!!!!! If your lookin to waste your time and eventually withdraw then take him. Besides that RUNN!!!!
THAT is Awful class.
To the person right below this comment, Have you ever heard of english class. Learn proper english not slang. This man deserves to be fired on the spot for all the things he does.
To the guy below this comment, Your english grade should be reduced down to a C-, and a D+. How can you like a sinister man like him. He is just pure evil. EEEVVVIILLL.
aite man, i like this guy cuz he doesnt gimme any problems and he gave me a A+ in cal even tho i earned it.

He is **** and terrible teacher. He asks to review HW everyday but never collects it; he simply starts with the first step then skips to the final step. His response to your questions is questioning your intelligence. I passed his first test with over a 70 & still dropped him b/c of the level of ignorance he displayed w/ his subliminal racism.
If you want to destroy your GPA, please take him!!He is the worst professor I have ever had. I got an A in precal and a C with him. He cannot teach; he does not care whether we understand, there is no structure to his teaching, no review exams, nothing at all. Avoid at all costs - u will learn nothing -this is a waste of ur time and money!
There is no way to pass this class without going to tutoring and studying on your own. He does give a ridiculous curve but no one wants to "hope" they pass.... DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.
I think Barone wrote the comment 3 lines below himself!!! Cos' there is not a chance a student wrote it! AVOID! this guy will kill ur GPA, and that would be after spending days at the tutoring center. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! DO'NT SAY U WERE NOT WARNED!!
Seriously lacks teaching ability. It's mind boggling knowing he's been teaching for so long. He has a poor understanding as to how to handle a class, shows up late and barely is able to answer any problems you ask. I could count at least 10 times where he has done a text prob. and ended up with an answer different from the texts'.
He is not that bad as everyone says, if you talk to him after class and show that you care enough to pass he will most definately keep that into consideration, and try to help you pass. PLUS he curves all the tests, and sometimes allows for a 1 pg note at the tests.Definately a bearable teacher. ps you MAY need a SAC tutor aside from his class
Ugh. UGH. Math is my worst subject to begin with, and having a teacher who refuses to treat you like an equal makes it ten times worse. You ask him to do a question, and he laughs at you. So condescending, almost downright mean. WAY too much homework with a very confusing syllabus. He always gets example problems wrong. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
The only positive thing I have to say about this professor is that he looks like Santa Claus. But once you've taken his class, you will learn that he is Santa's evil twin. He will question everything about you from where you sit in class to what you do when you sit there. If you don't know how to do a problem he will berate you. DROP COURSE.
did you ever feel like god hated you? well welcome to professor barone's class =D i really thought long and hard about a positive thing i could say about him and i came up inconclusive. he has definitely won the ****bag of the year award in my book. DROP ASAP
he is the worse things thing that could happen to a person i use to say that there is not bad profesor in math, but after him i know that i was wrong because i use to help people in math but now i go everyday to tutore. i used to have a or at least a b+ in math class, but now i failing this stupid class when a pass precul with an a
the worst teacher in my life. he thinks that we all are PHD students and disrespectful sometimes.gives lots of homework that he never checks and very confusing.please don't take him. your semester will be ruined and if you take him be ready to fail the course or get a D grade.
He's an ok guy. he gives curves on all the tests and even allows u to have an index card with you while taking the test. He will help you pass but you have to show effort. he will make rude comments and make you feel like an idiot if he's not too fond of you. He's ok it its ur last resort other than tht, take another professor
Believes everyone in his class is a mathematician and if you ask him a question he will most likely laugh at you and make the answer 50 min long! Worst math teacher ever
Worst Professor EVER. I use to be great at math but after taking his class, all my prior knowledge disappeared. If you get him drop him. If he is the only professor left for the class, don't take the class, wait till next semester.
An absolute ass. I decided to stay in his class because I did alright on the first test compared to others. By the end of the semester, we only had 7 people. I have NEVER had such little respect for someone before. If you have him...RUN AWAY. He is constantly insulting students and is downright RUDE. I studied my ass off for the final and got a B.
He made my 1st semester of college a living hell. He is intentionally rude and couldn't care less about his students. He even made me cry once with his comments. SERIOUSLY - save yourself! You're on your own for passing the tests, he doesn't do crap to help you study. I pulled out a B overall, but through only my own hours and hours of work.
Hes not that bad, if you show him you are trying he will pass you for sure! Hes like any other math professor teaching hard stuff, I learned the course in the summer within 3 weeks and im not the brightest tool in the shed, so whoever you are, im sure u can register for this guy and get a pretty good grade.
Stay away from this guy!! he sucks!!!! i am good in math and this guy totally confused me!! He does not know how to explain the material and he always made mistakes. after the students tried to help correct mistakes that he made he would turn into a rued old man. If you need a good greade in this class do not take him. He will ruin ur GPA. I was wi
He is not a helpful teacher at all. His lectures are hard to understand and he is MEAN. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!
How do I put this in a nice way? The "suck" is very strong. Wanders off and can't answer questions at all. By the end of the semester there was only 1 student left. Is that even allowed?!
I had Dr. Barone for the Fall 2009 semester. Let me start off by stating that most of what yo wil read on ratemyprofessor is a result of people being bitter from failing the departmentl final. He is great and will help you out if you are willing to put in the work. I highly recommened him if you are one of "those" students. If not, you will fail.
boring class, boring prof.,BUT review the old tests and you know them perfectly then will get good grade.But I don't think he prepared you well for the final...FINAL is going to be your own hard work..
not organized, keeps forgetting what he was doing, but most importantly he's a very rude, bitter old guy. he's always pissed at something, hates the department and hes opposed to everything the department does(which is not good)..very very rude.. he picks on students and piss them off.. dont even take this guy..
wow..stay away from this ridiculous old man. RIDICULOUS. very rude, and he will piss you off. STAY AWAY. If it wasn't the online lectures Baruch provides, I couldve failed. his lectures dont help at all. it was torture sitting in his class for 100 min. STAY THE EFF AWAY
The world's worst teacher. If you get him, just drop the course now. I was an A+ math student and I got a C+ in his class with loads of studying. He doesn't remember his name let alone calculus! YOU WILL FAIL WITH THIS TEACHER! STAY AWAY!!!!
Good ol'Jack..What can I say that hasnt already been said. He's nuts.He'll probably make you feel like a complete dumbass for asking a question: "Sir.. didnt you do the homework sir?" Overall, I didnt mind him too much because I understood most of the concepts from highschool. If you can avoid taking him, do it.If not,be ready for a hard earned B
TERRIBLE
WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAVE IN SCHOOL, DO NOT EVER TAKE HIM BECAUSE HE WILL MAKE YOU FAIL, I PROMISE
First off before you read on, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Be careful if you have a question, he will answer any problem you have, half way and with the wrong answer. 2 hours and a half in a class doing an algebra problem in a precalc class. Hes disrespectful and has no idea was the job description is for a teacher.
STAY AWAY! I agree w/ what others said. You'll be on your own in his class. The only good things are that he curves your grades and several questions in exams are similar to the questions in practice final exams. But that's it. If you can't handle things yourself, you'd fail. RUN AWAY!!!
EVERYTHING I LEARNED WAS WITH THE TUTORS. He is VERY DISORGANIZED and VERY HARD TO FOLLOW: he is not prepared for each lesson, and though he explains theories very well, he poorly explains execution. He spontaneously makes up examples which ends up confusing himself and the class. GET OUT IF YOU CAN!!
the worst professor ever he does not teach he comes to class and asks if anyone has any questions and spends the rest of the time talking about himself for most of his tests people scored in the 60's do not take!!!!! please if you care ahout your GPA at all DO NOT TAKE!!!!
Applied calc is an easy class, but barone makes it hard. He creates a question off the top of his head, gets off topic with a short story, and returns to the question, only to get the wrong answer. He puts questions on tests that have nothing to do with the curriculum. Expect to teach yourself with the textbook and still get a low grade.
simply put: class of 25 on the first day, 18 dropped the first 2 weeks, 7 students left and only 2 passed. do yourself a lifelong favor, disregard any sections this guy is teaching.
Worst professor I've ever had. He goes off on long rants about his life. Makes mistakes when he does examples in class. It seems as if he's the one who doesn't understand math. His tests, like his examples, are messy and incoherent. Unless you're willing to teach yourself Calc, don't take him. If you don't want to take math again, don't take him.
Save yourself, don't even attempt
Skibidi toilet
I don't know how this professor even is permitted to teach. Anyone who gave this guy anything above 1 star is lying
Avoid this professor at all costs - he's completely lost when it comes to calculus. Though Unstuckstudy may help with the material, his teaching is a disaster. Better to drop the course if you get stuck with him.
