I have never taken a class with a professor as bad as this one. His lectures may seem simple however his tests are much more difficult than what he teaches. He often grades your test wrong and will have a horrible attitude if you ask him to fix it. If you are taking calculus, avoid him at all costs.

I was making straight A's in math.... He's a horrible teacher, doesn't seem to understand math well himself. He teaches directly out of the book, even reads the intro paragraphs before each section, if you really need to understand what you're learning, do not take him.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL. This professor is foremost the worst I have encountered. I am a person who loves math, but if you don't have the right person to teach it correctly, you will be lost and confused and that is what he does. He does not explain well and his tests are totally different from what he give as a sample.

He seemed like a really nice teacher but I wouldn't reccomend him. He does not offer any kind of extra credit and he will not allow you to substitute any test grades like most teachers do. I recieved a really high D on the final and ran out of time while taking it because he told us we had until 8:30 when it was really 8:15

Very Bad explanation, only few examples. He is the text book example of bad teacher, trust me if your are ok in math do not take him. even if you are good at math i dought you will get good grade.

He did not seem to take an interest at all. Also he would only test on very specific sections but teach about everything else.

Terrible professor. Was not willing to help during office hours. Obviously was uninterested in his job. Very rude to me. HORRIBLE Teaching method. I usually get straight As in math but took a W in this class.

Horrible teacher. No study guide for the test

Don't take him. You will regret. I'm one of those students made all A's in high school math classes. Also, i received an A in MAC1105. However, i have a C in his Trigonometry class because he doesn't pass out study guide. He just tells us what to study for, only cover little. Class average of first 2 tests were around 60.

He was literally the worst math teacher I have ever had! I withdrew from his class because there was no way you could pass the class.

Worst teacher ever. I am decent at math and still ended up failing and dropping his class. he does one easy example in class, then the test is like the harder than trig. worst teacher I have ever had. do not EVER take his class. you will fail.

If you think you will get a positive experience out of this class, think again. He is the kind of teacher to show you easy examples in class, but give you really hard test problems. He gives 2-question quizzes that are usually as difficult as possible. He is the worst teacher I have ever had, I do not recommend taking his class, take John Salak.

Stay away from him if you can. You're better off taking the class online because he doesn't teach. Gives really hard two question quizes that kill your grade. I never worked so hard in my life for a B. I'm a 28 year old grown man who is serious about school and I can't believe tcc has him full time. He's not doing his job.

he is really smart in math but couldnt teach at all. he will teach you just 1% of test and might expect you to know everything. doesnt help at all and if you go to his office he will hardly specnd time

When I first viewed Coleman's RMP feedback I felt that everyone was exaggerating and being harsh on the guy. Unfortunately,they were right. He's a good guy but he doesn't have the slightest clue on how to convey a thought or even finish a sentence. He gives one (poor)example per section and creates each exam completely different from what is taught

To learn the material you will have to teach yourself. He teaches straight out of the book and test questions will come from there half the time as well. He will give you two question quizzes and 10 question tests, and he doesn't do partial credit. If you can learn well on your own, then I suggest taking him.

If you're bad at math, do not take him. Math is not my strongest subject and all he does is confuse me. You really need to go home and practice yourself if you want to pass. He only gives one easy example in class and then hw, quizzes and tests are impossible to solve. Good luck.

AVOID THIS TEACHER AT ALL COSTS. He is a horrible teacher, literally doesn't teach and could careless if you fail or pass at all. Taught everything to myself and his tests are HARD. Don't take this teacher.

Horrible teacher. Avoid him at all costs. So rude and has no care for his students success. Consistently shows up late to class and never teaches. Tests match nothing covered in class and is not willing to work with you on grades no matter how good of a student you are. One of the worsts i've ever had. Be prepared to teach yourself everything.

absolute worst professor. Is not willing to help students

By far the worst professor I have ever had. He came into the math class and lectured as if the content in theory based. He simply does not teach. Such a waste of my time and money. Got a D with him, took the class again, online and got an A

Hes not a good professor. He gives study guides and tells you that the test will be the same and then makes the tests harder. There's no structure. He assigns online quizzes and doesn't tell you. Just find someone else.

This teacher is by far the worst... he's always late to class, gives you a study guide(but the stuff he tells you is never on the test), he always makes mistakes in the middle of problems and has to restart, and he talks way too fast. definetly switch. I'm great in math and had to drop this class.

TAKE ANY OTHER MATH PROFESSOR. Jeffrey Coleman will not prepare you for the tests or exams and will constantly mess up while working problems. He will teach you things he thinks you should know but not prepare you for material you will be tested on. He does not care about you.

Hes the worst math teacher at tcc. Ive taken 6 math classes there and he was by far the worst. Avoid him, its that bad. Trust me

This class is not impossible. He is not the best professor, so you end up teaching yourself. If you are good at learning on your own it is definitely an easy A.

Anybody could do what he does. He doesnt teach the material he just reads definitions from the book. This is not helpful or what I expect from a college professor. He doesnt even look at your work on test, just grades the answer which is absolutely absurd for a math teacher to do. I have a 3.8 in Chem, physics, and calculus. Im warning you run

Professor Coleman was by far the worst professor I have had at TCC. He reads straight from the textbook, makes several mistakes while teaching, gives you one example PER lesson, and gives you tests of about 5 questions. He doesn't clarify well and you practically have to teach yourself. I would highly recommend taking this with another professor.

Save yourself the time and money and do not take this class. He does not work with students and is unwilling to compromise. Teachs off the book and does 1 example per less. There are better options out there!!!!!

His poor teaching style is only the beginning. His tests are written poorly. It's as if he designs the questions to trip you up in the wording. If you miss 2 classes in a row, you're screwed trying to catch up. You will rely on the WebAssign homework to teach you how to do the problems. The tests are harder than any example in class. Good Luck!!

Boring to listen too, doesn't teach, prepare to read from the book and teach yourself.

Horrible, Pop Quizzes almost every other day

This guy . Spent the first 4 classes doing 1 problem a class, a problem that should only take 15 minutes. Spelled calculus wrong on the bored, doesn't know how to use a graphing calculator. Have to teach myself everything. He also does examples completely wrong on the bored in class.

I'm a pretty decent math person but I couldn't stand this class. I would do great on the homework, group projects, and the example problems in the lecture. However, when it came time for the tests I was completely lost. His lectures were all stuff i had covered before but his exams were completely unrelated, the best I could do on them was a C.

He only graded six things the entire semester, and all tests were 10-15 questions. if you missed it in anyway it was counted wrong. not very clear in his lectures either, made many mistakes. The online homework does not follow his in-class lectures at all. no extra credit and not lenient at all when grading. The tests were way harder than class

He has no idea what he is doing. He would show us how to work through a problem that would be on the test, got to the end and wouldnt have the write answer and say the book made a mistake. Obviously the book didn't make a mistake and he didn't show us the right way to do it. Can't express how bad he was I lived in the learning commons. Got a B

Totally ridiculous that he is allowed to teach students. He believes he is the Einstein of all Professors. Materials covered in class were not understandable as he came up with an answer different than the book. It was always the fault of the publisher. Do yourself a favor and don't even sign up for this professor. You'll be better without him.

I have never seen anyone take an entire hour class to do five problems. We have been learning the same material for three weeks and when he gave us the review for the test, there are problems that we never even learned about in our review. You have to teach yourself and live in the learning commons if you take him.

He does about two problems on the board that are review from college algebra, he doesn't teach the material then gives hard tests and makes you look stupid when you ask questions. really regret taking him because i know i could have passed the class with a better professor

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! Professor Coleman often times can't even solve his own example problems and gives pop quizzes the day after many students missed the class. The tests are only hard because he does such a bad job of explaining the course material and because he NEVER gives practice problems. Save yourself and get a different professor!

By far THE WORST professor I've ever had. He has little knowledge about canvas and how to work it which means I would constantly have to check to make sure he put my grades in, he obviously doesn't put much thought into his teaching because he would always let us out early after doing a few problems. There is so much more but in general, DONT TAKE!

Absolutely worst professor. There are problems on test that we have not even gone over yet. Could care less to engage with class. Be prepared to teach yourself.

Very bad at communicating and does not understand his own curriculum. Stay away from this professor.

He is literally the worst teacher Ive ever had in my life. In high school I was ALWAYS a year ahead in math. I came to tcc and had to take college algebra & I cant even express how horrible he is. He has no idea what he is doing & doesnt know how to teach. The lecture/hw/test dont match up. He will teach one thing & test on another. DO NOT TAKE

i wish i would of listened to his prior reviews after taking this class. awful teacher. he knows what he is talking about but cannot teach it to other people. theres 5 total grades, 4 tests, 1 cumulative hw grade, no extra credit. hw and tests are not aligned with each other resulting in you wondering whats on tests. legit take any other professor

THIS guy is a tough grader!! But, if you argue or complain about why you got certain questions wrong, he usually changes them. After he hands back the test and you go over it, always ask about the ones you feel you could have got partial or full credit on. He will change it.

The slightest mistake on a problem could cost you your grade. He isn't a good teacher at all. He moves way too fast when showing how to work a problem and moves on before assuring that everyone understands the material. In fact, he never really did much teaching. He put problems on the board and expected you to understand. Don't pick his class,EVER

AVOID AT ALL COST!!! The ratings are 100% accurate. I didn't use this website when choosing my courses and that was a mistake. Has 5 grades: 3 tests, 1 HW and 1 final. No extra credit and don't bother arguing because it wont work trust me. He rushes his lectures and doesn't know how to teach a versatile class. Also he does not bump or curve!

Should not be a teacher, cool guy but does not know how to teach. His definition of teaching is just solving questions on the board super fast then moving on. Doesnt explain well, sometimes gets problems wrong himself. Over DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM

DO NOT take this professor. He puts things on the test that he never covered in class, and spends very little time covering actual material in-class. He doesn't understand some of the things he teaches, and clearly has very little confidence in the subject.

Avoid this man at all costs. I thought the other reviews were a bit excessive, but they are completely accurate unfortunately. For an entry level algebra class, he makes it so much harder than it needs to be. In addition, there were times he didn't seem to know the material either! Save yourself the trouble and avoid his class.
