Excellent. I made C's and D's through highschool in math but came out of this class with an A. If you hate math and it makes no sense then take Jim because he makes it interesting and easy to understand.
His class wasn't too bad. He gave quizes and had an attendence policy, which I liked. Go to class and pay attention and do the HW and you should do fine.
Professor Bellon, The Man The Legend
If you have trouble with math, take him. He is awesome at explaining it. I failed college algebra then took him and came out with an A and even got exempt from the final. He is the best math teacher that I have ever had and is very willing to help you out.
Struggled early but after awhile, got my feet on firm ground. His projects and homework portfolios really helped me learn the material. Before that, i was lost. Class was great, and he does alot to help you out. I loved the class.
The best! Great teacher, great person. I would say take this class. He's a wonderful teacher. You will learn from him and enjoy the class while doing so.
Made C's in high school and an A in here. Dare i say the easiest teacher ive ever had
very easy
MAN!!!!! THIS DUDE IS SO KOOL! HIS APPERANCE IS A LITTLE CRUDDY LOL, BUT HE IS GOOD PEOPLE. I TOOK AP STATISTICS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THOUGHT IT WAS AWFUL. I UNDERSTOOD IT BETTER WITH HIM. TAKE HIS CLASS!
It was the H/W, class projects, and quizzes that got me through. I was a math basket case before Jim Bellon. He gives you a lot of confidence and that makes math more interesting. Take his class & don't be absent and you will make it too! He's the best.
really nice & helpful. very easy...easy A!! i recommend him!!!
Way too easy. Class is a waste of time.
Such an easy class. I never went but for the tests and such and still did ok. Boring class. If you never wanna have to go to class, definately take this guy. He randomly cancels class too. i think he smokes pot though.
Bellon is a wonderful teacher, probably the best math teacher that I have had since 6th grade. Although he stutters alot, he explains really well and for the most part and always has a smile on face. He is very helpful, gives you points even if you get the problem wrong as long as you work it out, and literally wants you to pass. I love Bellon, A+
If you struggle with math, take him. He is the best math teacher that I have ever had. He is very eager to help and goes over stuff over and over until you get it. Tests are right from the notes. Easy A which is usually hard to say when it comes to math. Mr. Bellon is awesome! And I don't know why that other person would say he smokes pot. How dumb
I HATE math because I SUCK at it, but I got a B in his class because he explains things well and wants you to pass. I would recommend him!
He ignored me when I asked for help-he even walked away from me a few times. I will never register for one of his classes again. Absolutely horrible.
Mr. Bellon is a great teacher who really wants you to do well. He definitely knows what he's talking about! You have to try to fail this class!
he may be a good algebra teacher but not a good statistics teacher. he is mean at times and unapproachable. (i thinks he's got mental problems). overall, he does want students to pass but his tests require a lot of thinking which makes it really difficult. plus there's not enough time on the tests and quizzes.
He screamed at our class when we asked why he was giving us a quiz when he hadn't taught us any new material in over a week. At best- he's unstable. At worst-he's mean.
Gets angry very easy--not willing to help--I went to the math tutoring center several times, but he acted like I was more of a bother than an actual student!!! I would NOT recommend this man!!!!!!!!!!
Quant. skills and reasoning is a very easy class, no brainer material. He is a yanky with a dry humor but he is also nice guy. He does not have patience for people who do not show up for class and then require additional help. If you go to class and participate he is very willing to help.
Great Teacher!! He explains math the best way possible! He wants you to understand the reason why you would do something which really helps you to remember what to do. He is really easy and doesn't care about attendance as long as you do the work.
The worst instructor that I have ever had. He 'looks down' on students that aren't in advanced courses and treats many students more like a burden than his profession. He has yelled @ classes, put students down, and is not always open to assist his students. Overall, his course was a horrible experience...
The biggest mistake that I made was dropping this class during Spring 06 to take Boumenier Summer 06. What was I thinking? He is a great teacher.
very hard and takes to favorites... he does act like his students are a bother to him! DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY!!!
He expects you to get the material after doing one problem in his notes. He gives you notes, but his quizzes and test are the exact opposite of the problems in the notes. I went to the Math Tutoring Center plenty of times, and he made me feel as if I was wasting his time. He makes smart comments when you try to ask for help. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!
This class in not an easy class like most class in college. However, Mrs Bellon is VERY helpful. He really does use his office time to help. I would highly recommend him espically if you have math anxiety. He is very approachable and will suggest things to do to help improve your grade in the class. Keep up with his notes anddo your homework.
He was very understandble when it comes to assignment and grades. he will answer your questions just make frequent visits to his office. replies to emails in less than 24 hrs. he is a wonderfull teacher, even though he gets made at stupid mistakes. i would recommend a hard working student to take his class. just do your part to the most and he wil
Mr. Bellon is a great teacher. He teaches everything thoroughly. He offers help in the math tutoring center every Tues. & Thurs. His tests are similar to quizzes and notes. I would recommend him to anyone.
He is the best math teacher ever. I failed math at west ga last semester and took math this summer and came out with an A+He is a great guy and a great teacher his tests are reasonable and he gives partial credit and bonus questions!! If you have a chance take him..you will not be sorry you did =)
I hate math wita passion. I had previousl taken it wit another teacher i 4got her name but she sucked. His class I actually learned how to do stuff. I didnt meet the requirements 2 pass for my major type so Im retakenin it again. But Im retakin it wit him so that should say alot. He's great just pay attention.
Bellon is hard to understand: he stutters really bad and his teaching method is not good either.
greatest teacher at uwg wow extremely helpful
He doesn't stutter too bad anymore and he is understandable. His tests are pretty easy if you do the quizzes he assigns and the homework and come to class. His teaching method is a little difficult to understand especially if you like to take your own notes. He has premade copies of the notes that you print out but they are not very organized.
Professor Bellon, while very kind, needs to work on his teaching methods. He stutters a good bit (I don't know if it's just him or if he's nervous) and, like I said, his teaching method is hard to understand. He uses powerpoint which is difficult to follow when the subject is math. I would not recommend him to another student.
I hate math more than anything. Professor Bellon is a really great teacher; he is very good at explaining things and is very skilled at math. He is easy to understand and willing to give help to anyone who needs it. I have no compliants and highly recommend him.
This guy may have problems with his speech, but he still gets his message across. His respectful attitude and great knowledge will help anyone pass the class, no matter how bad a student might be at it.
He was boring and monotone and even though i went in knowing a lot about algebra but he managed to confuse me to no end.
Although he does have a little bit of stuttering problem you get used to it and it doesnt hender the way he teaches. In highschool i didnt do that well in math but when i took his class he made things understandable to me.I was able to get an A. I recommend everyone to take his class because he is very helpful and will help u out no matter what.
I liked his class... I still had 2 take it twice because my major required a C.. but he is a good teacher helpful if u ask... always in the math lab... take good notes, tests are kinda hard but not really... if ur class is active and participate alot he works with u and gives extra points. I think hes a great teacher. N i hate math but I enjoyed hi

funny, fair, awesome
He is really easy. Do all the homework to give you a cushion on the test. He takes his time and teaches you only have 4 test and a final. Go to class so you don't fall behind. I made an A.!
Easy class, you dont have to go to class everyday. He has a review day the day before class I suggest you go it helps alot!!! He curves every test and the homework is worth 35% of your grade. Easy class and he really cares about teaching i recommend him!
He's a good teacher that cares. Take advantage of all the resources he has to offer and you will do well in the class. I would def take him again.
Mr. Bellon is extremely helpful! He is always willing to help you outside of class if you need it, and he really knows his stuff. He is friendly and never yells or gets angry. He really makes math clear. The class has a good amount of work and you will not ever use the textbook because everything is online. Great teacher!
Great Professor. Really cares. Attendance is not mandatory. Test are not multiple choice, but he gives partial credit.
Mr. Bellon is a good teacher. Ask questions, and he takes the time out to explain it to you. Tests aren't very easy because they aren't multiple choice. Sidenote: If you ever get tired of him talking about math, ask a question about his daughter and he will go on and on..it's so cute.
Took his internet based course. During assignments, examples were the most helpful thing offered. Homework boosted my grade quite a bit. Practice tests were exactly like the real test, so definitely do those a day before the test and you'll be fine.
Jim Bellon is a fantastic teacher with tons of knowledge. He's easy and he knows what he's talking about. Highly recommend, small stutter problem but doesn't affect overall clarity of class. I got an A and didn't do much at all.
He was a very good teacher. I am horrible at math and made all A's. He takes time to answer any questions you have and gives you chances for extra credit. If you come to class and pay attention, you will do just fine. Also, he has a wonderful, kind attitude and wants to see each student do well.
Very good teacher. He certainly knows his stuff. He's very helpful and it's easy to understand the concepts if he's discussing it with you. I recommend taking him, especially for College Algebra.
He's a very effective teacher; will work with circumstance if necessary. Although attendance isn't mandatory, it's recommended that you attend class. SI session weren't very helpful, but I took advantage of office hours and online practice. He expects you to review material before class because he goes through power points rather quickly.
Took Him this past spring and hardly ever went to class. Home work is an easy A and he does not take attendance. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GO WHEN HE GIVES THE CLASS PROJECTS. EASY A
Mr. Bellon knows his stuff, but he does get off track a little sometimes. His tests aren't too bad, but the online homework is easy and counts for a large portion of your grade. Good professor for someone who doesn't do great on test day.
I hate math completely, but I LOVED him! He was very helpful when asked. As long as you go to his office hours and ask for help you will no great! There were no tests, only projects that you build off of and book homework. The final was curved!
Very easy class, the material is very easy to understand. There are only around 5 tests throughout the semester and he grades them fairly easily. Gives your grades back pretty fast. Attending all classes is not mandatory at all. All the notes are online. Definitely go on the days you do the group assignments. Homework is not often and easy.
This class was an easy A. Attendance was not mandatory because all of the notes are online. The homework was a piece of cake. He WILL help you if you need it. He's a great teacher. I wish I could take it again for credit.
Best professor at UWG hands down. Easy A if you have common sense.
I'm going to be honest and say that I hardly ever went to this class. I honestly felt like I got nothing out of physically sitting in his class. All he did was fly through powerpoints. The homework on mymathlab and the examples provided on there are more helpful than Bellon himself, although he does help you if you go to the Math Tutorimg Center..
4 tests. Never really went to class because professor only went through power points and never really went through any examples. Got more help from the math tutoring center and the examples on mymathlab than I got from him. Wouldn't reccommend. Got nothing from physically sitting in his class. Did homework online and did examples online & passed.
I liked Mr. Bellon, you just have to ask if you're confused otherwise he assumes everyone understands-- it was an easy class, after all. Lots of people skipped class, not sure how they did. He does take attendance most of the time. Easy grader-- but show your work!
I felt like he never taught me anything. He doesn't explain how to come up with the answer he will just tell you it after a while and never show you how to work it out, so come test time you don't know how to find the answer. I found myself teaching myself how to do it a lot. The math homework was easy to forget about do to it being on a diff site.
It's math. What else can I say? Mr. Bellon was nice and always there to help. I never went to class and made an A. There is online homework so you need the Pearson access. Do the homework. You should never make below an A on it. He give 4 tests. If you're good at math, super easy. If you're bad, go to the math center with Bellon and then it's easy.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! Terrible at math but he is very helpful. A lot of homework but honestly it helps your grade because it's easy. He's very sweet and really wants his students to succeed. Tests are pretty easy if you look over the study guide and homework. Attendance is mandatory
I really liked Mr. Bellon! I had him for Quantitative Skills and Reasoning--and, yes, you do have to work hard, but if you meet up with him often (working one-on-one) it will be so worth it! Math is not my strongest subject, but Mr. Bellon helped me to improve. I definitely recommend him for those who have a difficult time with math.
He's ok. He talks way too fast and gets off topic way too easily. He also tries too hard to be "hip". I didn't go to class and just studied with my mom instead. He does have different ideas that help in his class. He's kind of rude though.
Mr. Bellon was a great teacher, definitely knows what he is talking about! The homework he assigns are very easy and the tests are a breeze as long as you pay attention while doing the homework and go to the review class before the test. I made an A in that class easy and I suck at math so I would definitely recommend him!
He is very easy gong. We had to buy the Aleks online course. If that is case for your class, you don't even have to show up. The online course taught you everything, and class was like review. He is very laid back and easy going .
Took this class with e-core. Maybe it's because I find math extremely difficult in the first place but I tried really hard. This was hands down one of my most difficult classes ever. Didn't understand a thing.
He uses one of the math programs for homework, which is okay, but he talks so fast in class that its hard to keep up. I had to go to some old math teachers for clarity, and ended up making a C in the class because I only got like every third word he said. But he is very helpful and works in the Math center, so he is easily accessible for help.
We had about a quiz a week. The only grades we got were quiz, midterm, case study and final. There is no homework!
You have to focus in order to pass, if you dont come to class like that it'll show.
We had a lot of assignment. We would have two whole homework assigment every weeks. Overall i would not tell people to take his class. He speaks too fast,he reads from the textbook and he will not give you extra credit oppurtunities. His class is boring and half of the time you have no idea what hes talking about.
Best math teacher I've had since freshman year of High School. Pay attention, do his work, take his advice. If he tells you to take notes before class, do it. Tests are easy if you understand the material, if you end up like me who had trouble, going to his office hours, helped me understand everything in that class. 90+ on tests. I suck at math.
I took Mr. Bellon for PreCalculus and, before then, I never really understood math. However, after his class, I am fully prepared for moving on the Calculus. He uses free homework and text-books and is very quick to respond to emails. People say he talks fast but He is no faster than any other New Yorker. He is the best math teacher I had so far.
I hate math, and he made me like it. He is a great lecturer. Well organized, all notes are available before the lectures. He has convenient office hours, and instantly responds to emails. He provides a test review for every test, and as long as you do the review and the homework, you'll pass the exams. He an awesome math professor!!
He is a great teacher. The way he does homework and quizzes there is no reason why anyone should have lower than a B. He provides videos to help you learn. He also is good with communicating if you need help with anything. He has a lot of webinars and you can go if you need help. I really recommend his class if you want to learn and get good grades
You cannot mess this up. Prof Bellon makes Math easy. Math is not a strength of mine but he makes it totally manageable. All of his lectures are online and you can easily follow his instructions. He answers questions and takes time to make sure concepts are clear. I would recommend to anyone needing to fulfill a MATH credit. You cant go wrong here
Mr. Bellon is a fantastic teacher. He goes on tangents sometimes, but they inject a breath of fresh air into the class, which I enjoy a lot. Study for the tests, pay attention in lectures, and ask questions when you're confused, and you will pass with an A.
Easy class. He has weekly online meetings for those who wish to ask questions, and if you email him he responds very quick. He also graded fast (my class required feedback for the case study) but he gives it the same day or early in the morning! I liked the class
I loved Prof. Bellon! As one who was consistently out of town during the summer, I was able to work ahead on the assignments that were due while I was gone thanks to his awesome class structure! The textbook was online and you learn all class material from it (which was straightforward but slightly boring). He was always eager to help.
Professor Bellon was amazing! He was always open to help and had zoom meetings every week for anyone who had questions. The work was easy, and is a guaranteed A if you do your part.
Professor Bellon often posted in his class announcements that he was available for help if needed, and every time I reached out to him I received no reply. All of the tests are so unlike the modules(homework) you have to do. You can get 50% accuracy by the homework and then you are screwed. You are also required to take a proctored exam (horrible).
Professor Bellon was AMAZING so much so that I signed up for his class next semester. He is always willing to help and explain things to your understanding. If you ever miss the deadline he always extends it for you. Responds to emails quick. There are a couple of group worksheets but everything is fairly easy. Gives studyguides for final/midterm.
I took his class online. When ever I needed help he never responded to any of my emails from CourseDen or Gmail. You teach yourself and it is majorly graded on how well you do a stats project.
He will be there to help you if you needed and he has office hours where you can join online and he will help you there. His tests were fairly easy and so was the class.
Mr. Bellon was hit or miss with emails and did not give great feedback. It was very hard to tell what you need fixed if you completed something on a part of the stats project wrong. On top of the project, there is a good bit of homework but the only test was the final and barley any quizzes. He is hit or miss with grading.
My struggle with Professor Bellon's class was that he really didn't teach us stats. All he did was read us the textbook in class and hardly ever worked out many problems. So, if you're a visual learner, just be prepared to teach yourself this course. There's one long stats project, homework, a midterm, 5 quizzes, and a final, but it's all doable.
Amazing teacher but he didn't force students not to talk while he was talking and since it was a small room it was very hard to focus. I have had him before and he usually did force kids not to talk unless asked to. So, it could have just been that class or he didn't hear the students talking. His teaching style is a mixture of visual and auditory.
I had Professor Bellon in Spring 2025. He's similar to math teachers I've had before; he follows the textbook, which is online, very closely. His homework assignments are easy and forgiving. Occasionally, I would have a hard time understanding, but the practice tests helped a lot, and they're structured exactly like the final.
He was alright, he was difficult to listen to sometimes because he seemed so scrambled. But he seems like a good guy and knew what he was talking about. His assignments were easy, and the textbook was really easy to read and study. if you're good with math I wouldn't bother attending class since he just goes over the textbook most days in class.
I'm not very good at math but Mr Bellon's class was great. He only took attendance once the entire semester. Very easy homework and worksheets, if you use the textbook you can get away with never going to class once. Only 2 exams, a midterm and a final. DO THE STUDY GUIDES!!! They are word for word what's on the exams.
He's a great guy and professor overall. He's really fast-paced. Everything flowed along really smoothly, even when it came down to reviewing for exams. There is a LOT of material to digest, so you should definitely take advantage of the homework and worksheets he gives to get a better understanding of the chapters.
