Don't take this class. This man should not be able to teach math. I am warning everyone before they register for this class.
Dont take this class unless you know math really well because you will fail if you take him.
This class is horrible!! He does not teach things clearly at all! I mean this is stuff I knew just needed refreshed on, and now im totally confused!! RUN AWAY!!
Great teacher does not assign homework or give tests. He is clear you just need to take notes and he is pretty funny i learned alot sorry the other people that wrote about him did not!!!!
super sweet man and very funny. but not a good teacher. it was easy to pass but i can honestly say i am not prepared for my next math course. never really gave me direct answers to questions. and often when i showed concern about my grade he would change the subject or tell me not to stress. i do not recommend him.
Very, very sweet man; HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!! If you have any trouble with Math, DO NOT TAKE HIM!! I made straight A's in the last 2 math classes and did horrible in this class (got a C)because he is so incredibly unclear and unable to "stay on track". Again, he is very sweet and truly means well but just had a horrible time with this class.
Mr. Weininger is a cool guy BUT he is a horrible teacher. He does try to teach and explain stuff but he totally fails in both. You will have few homework papers that he will ''check'' and few quizzes that you are going to grade by yourself. Your grade is going to be based on how well you do on the finals. Do not take unless you are good in math....
Easy Teacher, but not a good instructor. best to take if you are good at math (like others have said before me). Does not assign homework, requires minimal effort in class. Expect to review for the final, since it is a major part of your grade. Nice guy and easy A.
I loved him! He had a helpful dictionary and stayed later if we had a difficult time he would help us! DEF. Take him!
DO. NOT. TAKE. Im warning you NOW. Unless you are a math wiz he will completely confuse you. His teaching methods suck! HE NEVER ANSWERS QUESTIONS DIRECTLY. So if you have a question about a problem DONT BOTHER. GO TO MATH LAB. Sweet guy but teaching is not for him. U DONT HAVE TO GO TO CLASS BUT IN EXCHANGE ONLY GRADE THAT COUNTED WAS THE FINAL!
He treats students as adults instead of like some teachers who mandate the students every move in class. He is fun, and entertaining in class. I hated math, but seem to really get it from him, great teacher and very helpful if you ask for the help. I am taking him again for my next class, I would recommend!
Wow easiest class i have had since elementary school. You don't have test, or homework. We had one quiz but we got to pick the problems the class before and it was only 5 problems. If you miss any he gives you the answer and lets you correct it. He teaches at archer but its worth the drive. All you have is the final.
He is the sweetest teacher and great one!
A really sweet guy, but I feel that he is not well equipped enough to teach at a college level. Being a high school teacher would probably be better suited for him. However, he tries and really seems to care.
Mr.Weininger is really nice. If you suck at math I recommend taking this class. No mathematical ability what so ever. He lets you use anything on the quizzes and tests and if you do the work you'll get good grade!
great guy and wants his students to learn by teaching. his methods are not the standard but fun and interesting. all you have to do is PARTICIPATE and you will pass.
I've known Weininger since high school. And like always he is a very misunderstood teacher. Most students aren't accustomed to his teaching method which requires you to teach yourself first and then get his help. As long as you put forth the effort, come to class and participate in his activities you will do fine.
Mr. Jay is a great teacher. He teaches you, but he also wants you to participate in the class as well. I would recommend anyone needing this class to take him. I took this class in 6 weeks which i never do in a math class and I passed. Take Him!!
Fast paced
He is not the easiest teacher to follow, as his method of teaching takes a lot of getting use to. But, he tries to make sure everyone understands. If you get lost, he will do his best to help you catch up before he moves too far ahead. Covers a lot of material before you master any of it, but overall his teaching method seems to be effective.
A misunderstood genius. Zen math in which students are required to think for themselves, which frightens the naysayers here. Professor Weinenger is a maverick instructor who imparts in students of math a sense of beauty, wonder, and fun. A great and rewarding experience.
When I first got in the class, I didn't expect to be put into a team to do work with for the rest of the semester. I was put off by that at first. But as I continued to show up, it became a fun and interesting course. A good experience. Yes, he was a bit fast paced but if you ask he will explain for you til you get it and understand. Take him!
This professor is very nice and you get to go at your own pace. He will help you when you need it. You get to make up your quizzes and the final. Also get to work in groups. Defiantly take this class if you are not great at math. This course deals with a lot of word problems!!! I got an A and math I not my strongest area.
This teacher is older but breaks the class into sections. Don't think he can't remember cause he can and most of the class is word problems. Very easy going, funny and will help you when you need it. You get to work in groups and you also get to make up your quizzes and the final. Math is not my strongest area and made an A in class. Don't buy the books for this class, they don't help at all and we barely used them.
He is a different kind of teacher. The class is broken up into teams and you work all the problems out in class with your team. You have 5 problems of the week for the whole semester. VERY simple quizzes! Makes you try to work out problems before he offers help. Not a math person, but I enjoyed this class!
the teacher is very easy going and relaxed. the whole semester you are broken into teams and you work in the teams for everything.quizzes are made and answered by the teams and you make the final. Def. take for a good GPA boost
Its a very self taught class.He explains it once then you have to do the learning.Splits you up in groups then you work on the problem together.Super nice guy wants to hear feedback from all of his students.He asks for students to write journals about the class and he reads them and improves the class over the semester. Would recommend this class.
Fabulous Instructor.Puts class in groups and you do all your work as a group.It helps if you don't understand.Leaves the learning up to you. Very Fair and laid back.If you have a question he will tell you to work within your group first.This help you to learn from others. Great class.If you fail this class it is because you didnt attend.Very Easy!
If you're looking for a really easy 'A' than take this class, there's no real work to do and you get to work in groups. You make all your tests and you get the answers to them all.
Very nice man and truly is misunderstood, but I didn't not enjoy his teaching method. It's very self-taught and we had no real homework or exams. Entire grade was based off the cumulative final.
I'm not a math person and I got an A. If you're looking for an easy math credit, this class and professor is the best. At first I thought it was going to be a but frustrating because of the structure of the class. There is no right answer. Take it!
Weinenger was my algebra teacher at Loften H.S. That class was a joke. All I remember was being on MySpace the whole class because he never graded anything anyways and the final he gave everyone a C on because a lot of people didn't do the final.
Class was interesting. Not like a traditional math course, had to work in groups to solve problems and make up tests/the final. He won't remind you about turning in journals or keeping work to turn into your portfolio, so you have to remember. Enjoyed the class though.
OK let me just say this class is a joke! At the beginning of the semester, he said as long as you show up to class you have a B already in the class. There is no homework and the tests and quizzes you make up so you always get an A on those. No final! I'd advise to take this class in 6 weeks to get it over with. He's funny and really cool! Take him
I advise to take this as a short term. Theres no real clarity on what to do. Dont buy the book we used it for one assigned assignment and he supplied books for people who didnt have them. We made up our one quiz and there was no final. Show up and you get a B and if you want a A just write it down on a piece of paper. We did puzzles everyday.
He makes the material fun and interesting. I never could have imagined a math class to be more catered to my interest than this one.
This is a wonderful class and Mr. Jay is awesome. I have learned many techniques that could have been applied to other classes, not just math. This includes, working the problem backwards, applying logic, using numbers as locations, drawing diagrams to visualize it, asking not what if, but what if not, and starting with a small chunk. Respect him!
Don't waste your time taking this a full semester. Take it in a mini-semester! This class is soo easy! If you want an easy A take him! He teaches differently, but he's easy!! Very down to earth and funny guy!
Mr. Jay is a great inspiration to all that will listen with an open mind. He makes the class fun and entertaining. Unlike the traditional math teachers that will teach a problem one way and then change it on test day, Mr. Jay always lets you know what you will be tested on so there are NO surprises. I loved his class!! Show up and get an A!
There are no assignments. No homework, quizzes, or tests. No grades. Show up, do work (crossword puzzles and sudoku) he gives you in class. At the end of the semester put everything into a binder and turn it in. That's it. You get an A. Just show up. If you're bad at math take this class. And take it in an A or B semester to get it over with. Easy.
Such a sweet teacher, he listens, makes the class fun. We create our own test, quizzes and final! Attendance is a must. So just make sure you participant, show up and you'll pass :)
Definitely a class to take if you're not particularly a mathematically inclined person. It's a straightforward, fun class to take because you do math more enjoyably (puzzles, mind games, etc.) The structure of the class is designed to provide students with thinking on another level. He is funny, insightful, and there for you.
Mr. Jay, is an awesome teacher. He teaches his class in a way that you can understand, his teaching method is not the same as regular professors. The stuff he has you do makes you think outside the box. I truly have learned a lot in his class, and skills I can use towards my other classes, he has his own text book in the bookstore. GREAT TEACHER
This class was very easy, and he is very nice and kind. If you attend class everyday and participate you'll get an A. You create the tests and quizzes in a group. His class is structured so that he is not forcing assignments on the class. You do what you want and turn in a portfolio at the end of the semester.
This is the perfect class for people who are bad at math. The topics are very interesting and almost never involve your typical math class calculations. At times things can be confusing, however, as long as you do the minimal work and come to class every day, you'll end with an A.
This class is so easy going. I cannot believe that people received anything lower than an 'A', or that anyone would have anything bad to say about Mr. Jay. The class is not your usual math class. A lot of puzzles. If you want an easy math grade, take this class.
Dr. J is a great professor. His class is very enlightening. Class participation is very important.
This is one of the greatest professor's you'll have in your lifetime. He's genuine and truly cares about your well being. I respect Jay tremendously. Show up for class, do your work, open your mind and the rest is history.
Mr. Jay is extremely nice, and his only desire is to inspire students and create a welcoming atmosphere for free-thinking. That being said, take this class if you want an A for breathing. There's NO grades. None. No homework, no quizzes, no tests. The point of this class is to wake you up at 7 in the morning.
Mr. Jay was an amazing professor. He uses a different style of teaching that allowed me to actually enjoy math. His class can be sort of confusing but if you stick with it until the end you'll be fine. Definitely recommend taking this class with him if there is the option to do so.
Easy class if you show up
i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN ! HE IS ONE OF THE BEST ,IF NOT THE BEST, TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD ! YES HIS CLASS IS EASY, BUT HE TRULY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS. HE IS A VERY LOVING AND CARING PROFESSOR. HE UNDERSTANDS HIS STUDENTS AND MAKES IT EASY AND FUN FOR US TO LEARN, ALTHOUGH ATTENDANCE WAS NOT MANDATORY I MADE IT MY DUTY TO COME TO CLASS ALL TIME
Took this class for extra credits under the notion that he would be easy, according to reviews. Yes the class is easy, but I have no idea what he is trying to accomplish by giving random puzzles he does not even know answers to. when nobody knows the answer, instead of teaching and explaining, he says "I can't do everything" it's very frustrating.
This class is not for someone who needs structure in a course. Mr Jay is an OK professor, don't expect to know your grade until the end of the course. You will have quizzes and group assignments, but it's all done in class by you and your classmates. Show up every day. Turn in your portfolio. You'll pass with an A.
There is no homework or quizzes. No midterm or final.. This is the first time I've gotten an A in a math class. Take this if you want an easy A and to experience a class like no other.
Such a amazing man. Teaches in a different style from all other math professors. I was going to drop his class the first week, but I'm glad I stayed. Pretty much go to class and participate. You will not receive one homework assignment. I promise that! can't emphasize how important attendance is.
Professor Jay is a kindhearted man who offers his students an interesting idea or approach to school/ education and life in general. He is not a tough grader. His expectations of students is more-so "survival thinking". He isn't concerned about which student does math the best or who solves complex problems faster. He's worth your time and money!!!
Professor W was awesome. If you want to have a great experience in contemporary math he is the professor you want. He explains everything and I just had a wonderful time. I really enjoyed his class.
Really great class, allows us to all work together. He actually cares about his students success. If you hate math, this is the class to take.
Amazing teacher
Mr. Jay is not the typical math teacher. He gets you thinking and allows for group discussion. He is a laid back person and his class is not stressful. It was very refreshing. I highly recommend Mr Jay's class. Mind your manners and be respectful.
This guy really taught me to think abt the bigger picture. The sweetest professor i've ever had. he is unlike any other. if you have the opportunity to take his class please do so.
Interesting professor. I learned some very interesting things. He challenges you to think. Very different teaching style. I loved the class. I liked all my classmates too! We did everything as a group and in teams.
This math class was definitely interesting. I learned a lot of things, but I can't say that math was one of them. Mr. Jay is extremely kind and caring. He wants students to succeed. However, if you need structure in a class, this is not the teacher for you. No homework, no tests, all group work. Come to class, participate and you'll get an A.
Class is fine, just show up to avoid getting a bad grade. Lectures can be boring, but the material is easy.
He genuinely cares about his student. At first, you would be reluctant, but wait for another class you would understand his teaching method (out of the box). Be creative and follow his teaching style and you should be fine. Complete the binder and attendance is essential. Participation is A must!!!
Professor Jay is really a nice man who cares about students & want them to get a good grade! Attendance, good attitude & participation are the only grades. Everything is group work. Just be respectful of the man because he is making it as easy as possible to get an A. He wants to teach his students different ways of thinking about problems.
This class was a great break after taking some hard classes. It was also so much fun, he doesn't grade anything all semester. except the final which you make as a class, questions and answers. Every day is interesting, but its not math, its puzzles and mind games, its a lot of fun for the creative mind.
Prof Jay is great! This class will have you looking at math in a whole new way! You might feel lost at first, but just go with it and try to think outside the box. He's funny and really wants students to learn. Participation is a must so keep your phones away,show up, do your best and enjoy the most unusual math class you will ever take! LOVED IT!
Professor Jay is an amazing professor he really cares about his students. His teaching tactics are a bit different. Learned Alot. We did things in groups. Complete the port folio by the end of the semester, stay off the phone, attend, be quiet while he is lecturing and just general respect. He will work with you should an emergancy arise.
I love Mr. Weininger. Hes a nice man and a good and funny teacher. Definitely a good choice. 10/10
Mr. Jay is the best and really does care about his students!
Go into this class expecting absolute confusion. This professor does not explain Anything, he is so busy trying to change the student teacher idea that he ends up teaching you nothing. Easy A because nothing is graded and you make your own quiz/tests and have access to the answers.!
Professor Jay was hysterical! He never failed to make the entire class laugh at least once a day. Truly a character. The class was essentially just showing up and passing, but you have to be ready to participate because he will call on everybody. Honestly one of my favorite teachers, definitely an easy A.
The best Professor EVER! I love his way of thinking. Very different from the norm but has a unique way of making YOU think. His humor is so refreshing and his wisdom is profound! He makes you feel like you are capable of doing anything! I encourage you to take his class, by the end you won't want to leave. Amazing Professor!
He was a good professor. Definitely confusing in the beginning and you will want to walk out of his class, but stay. He doesn't grade anything, you make up questions and answers for the final and "tests", and he talks a lot. He is very funny though. Don't worry about passing, because if you attend, you will for sure.
The best Professor ever! If you have a chance to take this class I highly recommend it. Attendance is mandatory, so show up and you will definitely pass the class
He made the class fun and easy to catch on to the material.
Jay is really a good professor, he really thinks out of the box and has students use their brain a lot . Speak up in class it is expected.
Another Mathematic option you can take if you are not up to speed in Algebra. Give yourself 1 week before dropping the class. The class may you think outside the box. The homework is very reasonable and not difficult. Today was my last day of class and I have not received my final grade yet.
Jay is such a good guy. I suggest everyone to take his class!
If you are looking for extreme structure , this is not the class for you. He is amazing in the way he allows the class to operate and learn from other students. The quizzes are done together so if you don't know the answer, you can rely on your classmates for help. He wants you to be comfortable in making mistakes and not having structure.
Take this class, you will not regret it. Prof. Weininger is by far my favorite teacher. It takes a few classes to get comfortable but once you do it's fun. I have to say this is the only teacher I wil miss because his class was quite enjoyable. He strives to get students to think outside the box and restructure how they view the world of math.
He's a fun guy, and I would say that his class is easy for most. My biggest issue is that he has no clear structure for his class, which can be difficult for people, like myself, who needs things to be straight forward. There's not very many things that he grades in this course, so make sure you turn in your work.
He is an absolutely amazing teacher, one of my favorites. His lectures are a little all over the place because it's more of a conversation about topics. Not just him talking the whole time. He doesn't make you talk if you don't want to but you should at least a little. He's a little scatterbrained but it's easy and he wants you to pass so you will
