HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Viehweg for anyone even if you are bad at math. I am a typical C math student and got a B in this class. He is very good with answering questions and showing you what to expect on tests. Homework is online, MyMathLab but the text book isn't required. Being in his class was a good experience and i am trying to get him for 105

Professor is cool, friendly and laid back. He seems to genuinely care about student success. He will occasionally grade on a curve to help students pass tests and listens to student input to improve how he teaches the material and how he formulates the tests. He is very clear about what will be on the tests and there are no surprises.

No doubt, he's a good professor. He’s friendly and always willing to answer questions. But, it's almost obvious that he's a high school teacher. I feel like his teaching methods and techniques are a bit sloppy and unsystematic. He also isn't entirely clear of what to study for tests; instead cracks jokes and veers off topic.

Took him for math 105 during summer (which of course is going to be hard) but he teaches this class like his students already know the material and he is just reviewing it.

Professor Viehweg moves through the curriculum fairly quickly, but is happy to slow down if someone asks a question or he feels the class needs to clearly understand something. Just show up to class, ask questions if you need to clarify something, do the homework, and study for the test using the in-class notes he gives you. You'll pass no problem.

He went off the idea that you should already know how to do everything in class. So, this meant that he'd give you these tricks to just get through the math problems without teaching how you do them. He'd go off for most of the class talking about twitter and social media instead of explaining how the math problems worked. Had to learn on my own.

I honestly thought he was the best mathematics professor I ever had. I was in his class when Covid happened, and he helped us so much. He was a very one on one professor, and personally cared about helping. One thing I thought was really cool was that he had really great morals, and empathy. He is a really great professor. Totally recommended!

I took Viehweg for Math 105 Summer Session and it was a great experience. As the other comments have pointed out he will drop your lowest quiz grade and lowest 5 homework grades which can be very beneficial to your grade. His lectures are short (around 15 min per video) and he explains concepts in great detail. He will answer any question you have.

Very nice professor, but doesn't seem to care about students life's or other classes. I could have a busy semester with just this one course. Expects full time job amount of hours devoted to one course. The worst part is the heavy load of homework that is only worth a pitiful percent of your grade.
