He will be exremely helpful if you just ask! He puts up with too much whining and has trouble controlling his classroom yet is a very smart man who you can learn a lot from if you give him a chance! Read your book!!!!
Very smart man; however, he is terrible at conveying that knowlegde to the class. Hard to understand, but is flexible in the classroom.
This guy cannot teach! He has ADHD too!! How many times do you have to erase one problem to get it right??

Nice guy and good teacher. He is very approachable and happy to help when asked. Easy to understand and will show many ways to do problems when asked. Biggest problem is class control. Certain individuals take advantage of his easy going style.
The way that the information is approached may be different than the way you've worked with Math before, but you actually discover how/why Math works! His teaching methods are clear, and he is very approachable and fair.
I've been in school for about 5 years and he is the absolute worst teacher I've had. He is a Math Major, but doesn't know how to teach these Math courses. I advise anyone to stay away from him. No set grading criteria, is vague when questioned for help
Very difficult class, not at all what I expected of Math for Elementary Teachers. If this is what they are teaching 1-5 graders then I wouldn't want to be back in grade school!
He makes too many mistakes in his own arithmatic to teach it!
Not a good teacher
Tests are different than the lecture
I showed up for one day of class, after listening to him for 15mins I knew that there wasn't anyway to pass his class. He is hard to understand, unless you can read lips and he deicdeds to turn around from the board for a minute.
So as for you who say that he makes too many mistakes, maybe you are oblivious to the fact that this is the way he teaches. This allows you to see how many different ways to work a problem and how you can fix your mistakes. Many learn from being presented material...others learn from their mistakes!
good guy, and very helpful but his tests are nothing like the homework or lecture very hard material
He is a good professor with good intentions. It is kind of hard to understand him, but if you try a little bit hard you could get an A easily. If you are into a math related mayor, I do recommend him, if you are NOT then do not take him for any reason.
Brilliant teacher. Knows his stuff but he can't always communicate the best.
He is a moron. He shows up @ least 10 minutes late to every class. Very unclear and tests are nothing like lecture. Waste of my time
Teacher has only one way things are to be done and no one else seems to know how that is including the math lab. Does not explain well. all in all is very hard to understand and leaves many things unclear.
He is by far the worst teacher ive ever had. he constantly makes mistakes, and he never explains anything. he puts things on the test that he doesnt even go over in lecture. he does things his way and his way only, and to him every thing else is wrong and that means no credit.DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS
hes weird
He is by far the WORST teacher I have ever had. He has made me HATE math. He seems to enjoy giving his students problems that they don't understand. He is a horrible teacher. If you ever get him, drop the class asap. I hope ICC fires him.
I had him twice for 200 and 201. He is very intelligant and knows his stuff. he does maybe have a hard time explained things to other people or explained it differetnly so they can understand it but that helps me learn better too.
A very nice teacher, he will answer any questions that you have but most of the time his answers makes you even more confused. Doesn't teach very well during lecture, very hard to understand. Tests extremely hard nothing like lecture or from homework. Nice guy but not a good teacher.
Poor teaching style, does not explain for jack. Tests are nothing like homework... THIS GUY IS A JOKE.... IF you take his class I hope you dont care about your GPA or going onto higher level math... Mr. Ward please get rid of this jackas..... everything you see about this guy is true.. LOOSER!
The worst teacher I have EVER had. I highly suggest he gets replaced!!!!
No Comments
if you like a teacher that begins class late everyday, doesn't explain anything he scribbles on the board, gives book work, worksheets, and lectures that have NOTHING to do with the test, if you want to hate school, be completely stressed out, and get a poor grade...then take this class! Armon...worst teacher i have ever had!
No Comments
Worst teacher I have ever had, if you even want to call him a teacher. Been in class for 4 weeks now and I don't think he's taught us anything yet. He does problems on the board and doesn't explain what he is doing and why. Tests, quizzes, and homework have rediculously hard.
I love math but when I tried to take this class it almost made me hate it. All examples are about random stuff or about physics, which is really bad if you have not taken physics. I think he pulls his tests out of the air b/c nothing that we studied was on them. AVOID THIS GUY!!!! I eventually dropped to save my GPA.
Not the best teacher. doesnt clarify well and gives way to much homework
DROP DROP DROP, Unless your a mind reader you will have no idea what he's even talking about, or what chapter he's on for that matter. Doesnt make eye contact, doesnt speak up, and his handwritting is illegible. I dont even know how he managed to get hired himself.
John Armon is a goober
I took a summer course to get this, what I thought should be an easy class, out of the way. He is a horribly ineffective teacher, I have no doubt he knows the material very well, but he is incapable of getting the information across. DO NOT GET THIS GUY!!!
He was a horrible teacher. He didn't teach us well at all. He would come in class without saying anything and just start writing on the board. Then he would want us to tell him the answer, without explaining it. He had hard quizzes all the time. Over material he barely covers. DO NOT TAKE HIM HE IS HORRIBLE!!!!
he gave hard tests and hard quizes. you get homework just about every day. he doesn't cover stuff that's on the homework. he tries to act funny with the students, but isn't. and you have to do projects that is horrible. i wouldn't take this guy ever again!
Rediculous irrelevent projects, insane amount of "daily projects", hard homework, harder quizzes, even harder tests, all with no info,sound like fun?!? then he's your guy!! My friend and I had to constantly correct him with simple math errors, not a doubt in my mind that he has no idea what hes doing. Im also confident he would fail his own course.
He is a nice enough guy but not a great teacher. I felt like when he knew students were confused he didn't really make any effort to clarify or explain. Also he pissed me off because he came in late every class. He gave stupid irrelevent projects and had long, time consuming daily projects that he wouldn't ever go over. Avoid taking his class!
Mr. Armon, is a brilliant man. He knows the information and relays that information to his students. He is very helpful to his students if they ask for help. He gives you ample opportunity to ask questions. The projects were hard but he gave instructions on how to do them. This is the instructor for the student who really wants to learn.
Seriously, do not EVER take this guy for any class. He goes 100 MPH and never actually explains anything. A day in his class is essentially him writing problems on the board and then he solves them and somehow you're supposed to learn from this? He explains VERY little. This guy shouldn't have a teaching license.
This was my first math class I took in college and it scared that crap out of me. He doesnt teach. He just writes on the board and expects you to know what he's talking about! I would avoid this teacher if I were you!
this dude almost made me quit school until i retook the class with a new teacher
Mr. Armon is a very nice guy, but his teaching methods are horrible. MAT 108 is a reveiw course, but the way he would explain things was as if it was the first time I had ever heard it. I relied heavily on the book for better, clearer explanations.
Dont get me wrong-i didn't give him a bad rating cuz hes not a nice guy, cuz he definitely is- but I've taken calc I and passed with a B just fine, but when i decide to take a simple algebra math class to boost my gpa and end up fighting for a C, ouch. thats a little harsh. ncie guy, bad teaching methods. he talks a little fast too!
Avoid him at all costs!!!! I thought I was going to be a miserable failure in college math after this guy. Does not explain anything, assumes you know everything. I took Math 115 w/ him and failed everything so horribly, I had to withdraw. Took it next semester w/a different teacher and got a B!
He is a horrible teacher. He doesn't use the text book at all. His "projects" are useless and have nothing to do with the class. He teaches like we have never seen a math book in our life.
Armon is the worst teacher i have ever had.He may be a smart guy and approachible, but seriously he should not teach. Homework is graded everyday,Quizzes are insane, Tests are even worse, Drop his class to save your grade, seroiously.He cant even add up all the points on tests right. His grading scale at end is kinda different,A=86 B=76 C=66 D=56
He wasnt a very good teacher. Didnt really explain anything, and to let you all know we started with a class about 30 and at the end there was about 10 people left.
Armon is a horriblw teacher. He does not make class interesting at all. he never talks to you so you can not hear what he is saying and he speaks in monotone. If you are not good at math get a diffferent teacher because he does not explain anything. The tests are 5 pages long and are not easy by any means. I do not recommend him.
HORRID HORRID HORRID HORRID HORRID....not helpful, somewhat crazy, almost ironically bad at teaching, avoid avoid avoid...if you are stuck in his class, get a tutor from day 1! or attend another lecture
I was a math major and took DiffEq with Armon and almost changed my major. Dropped the class and retook it somewhere else. Unless you are a math genius then select a different proffessor. I have also tutored many of Armon's students and can honestly say that they all say the same thing. He is very challenging....
i got screwed into taking his class cuz of that placement test. It was a breeze for me but he made me laugh because I always thought he teached like that teacher in ferris "buelers" day off. Funny just have to laugh at his teaching then it makes it worth while
I believe he was a good teacher and you can understand him..
This class was already difficult without the professor making going to class dreadful.
Being in his class is like having open heart surguery while conscious.
Doesn't explain anything..!
Very confusing, didn't help with anything that was asked, just made it more difficult to understand.
Was helpful when asking questions of him. Can be humorous. Work was not too hard. Tests, especially finals, very easy as he gives you everything but the test in advance. If you pay attention and do the recommended, you will do well!
If you do the recommended problems and attend class, he is great. Can be a bit boring, but it's math folks, what do you want? He will answer all questions, just ask him, on break, after class, even catch him at the office. Trust me, he will.
I am failing this class right now it sucks I would probably understand this math if it was taught by a professor that actually takes it step by step and explains the problems better
horrible teacher
I dropped at mid-term with a 43%. He talked to his markers and white board instead of directing his voice to the class. He only answered one of my questions directly in class. Would never recommend unless you have an advanced understanding and skill in math.
Nice teacher but not an easy class. He gave us three 'skills tests' which you had to pass in order to pass the class. I had a C in the class and just because of the skills tests i failed. Class projects were HORRIBLE too. Do not reccomend this teacher..
Not a bad teacher. Nice guy and easy to follow. Of course he does a lot of writing on the board but I would think that is a given. It is MATH that he is trying to teach not communication skills
Extremely bad teacher, doesn't know how to teach properly at all. Tests where five pages long and very hard. Notes where mostly pointless. Do yourself a huge favor and find another math professor.
great teacher! homework, tests and attendance are graded. i went to his office and asked for help a couple of times, he is very nice and very helpful. highly recommend. if you don't get an A you aren't trying hard enough.
He sucked! I would ask him for help and he'd make me sound stupid. I dropped the class cause their was no way I was going to have that class transfer to a 4 yr when i was only taking it as a summer class. He sucks. He taps the board and talks to the board more than he talks to the class. If you can find a new teacher before it's to late.
This guy was freaking horrible! He talks to the board, goes off on random math tangents, and is completely mean to most girls in the class. He made a few girls in class cry & doesn't really try to help. It's also impossible to get him to answer questions & his tests are really hard! I went to the math lab EVERY DAY for this class!
WORST TEACHER. now i have to retake that stupid class because of him. im not good at math and this teacher didnt help at all...DONT TAKE MATH WITH HIM!
Not very helpful in class, the subject I took was calculus 1. Since it was my first time having a calc class it was very hard to understand what he was teaching. Not very helpful out of class either, did not help me at all with the questions I had even though I went to see him during his office hours. If you have the choice DO NOT take his classes!
Worst. Teacher. Ever. Impossible to understand, if you struggle at all with math, DO NOT take his class.
wanst helpful at all he was so confusing
He bounched around alot in the sections. He gave us projects that he didnt give enough clarification for. He was a bad teacher. Flat Out!
Not sure why he's gotten such bad clarity related reviews. He's not bad at explaining the material, the grading method he uses is just deplorable. He marks off for the smallest things causing you to get bad grades on the projects. Other than that, study, and you'll do alright.
He moves very fast and only does one example of each problem you learn. He jumps around in sections and clutters the board when he takes notes which is very difficult to follow. He grades extremely hard and enjoys taking points off for anything he can. He only aims to confuse you so teaching yourself from the book is key.
HORRIBLE, HARD, AND DOESNT EXPLAIN WHATSOEVER!
The people complaining probably never did their homework or thought they would get an A just because they can write their name. As long as you do your homework and study the problems he gives you, you cannot get anything lower than a B. He was very helpful and responded also online very fast. Good teacher, but you have to do work for it.
Went on useless tangents, gave projects that did not pertain to the lessons whatsoever, and useless to ask questions to. Not helpful, and gave long tests over things that he did not teach. He seems to take points of just for the sole purpose to take off points. For the sake of your grade, I would highly suggest NOT taking this class with Armon.
Not very good when it comes to explaining things, tests are hard. He assigns these things called ATPs, they are math problems that have nothing to do with what is taught, but they are a big amount of your grade. My advise, don't take a class with him.
Alright, so coming from a student who doesn't complain because they got a bad grade; Mr. Armon teaches a very simple course. He literally only gives you four or five problems for homework every class. Sometimes he will teach certain topics quicker than others but he will always stop to answer questions. Very easy A so don't be worried!
Terrible, teacher. I've just dropped his class. He doesn't teach. He writes problems on the board and expects you to just know what they are while assigning homework that he doesn't even explain. Turn back now, do not take his class unless you want to fail.
Awful, he doesnt explain anything, if you ask him to he explains it at a calculus level. His tests have half of the studied math the other half, he throws in. I nearly dropped this class becuase I didnt understand any of it. If it wernt for the 3 people sitting next to me, I would have failed. This class SHOULD of been easy.
Terrible teacher! I don't recommend him!
He does move quickly at no fault of his own. We have a lot of information to learn in a short time. He is usually helpful to the people who actually show up. I wouldn't waste my time on students that did'nt make an effort. He is a easy A and i'm horrible at math!
Super confusing when going over problems in class. Problems gone over in class that take up a lot of notes are often wrong. Doesn't explain equations or problems clearly or engage the class.
I have never wrote a bad review about anyone. I am never very good at math. However, I show up everyday and take notes. In saying that, every problem he does on the board is the wrong answer. The book is hard to follow. And he teaches to the board. NOT personable at all. If you struggle with math STEER clear of him!!
Alright, so obviously by viewing the other posts, you're probably having doubts. To be honest, you should. If you struggle with math, I do not recommend him. Personally, math has always been my strong suit. So the difficulty didn't really affect me. He is a very nice guy who knows his stuff, he just is not the best at laying out what he's teaching.
I took his minimester and as someone who does not enjoy math I went in thinking it would be the worst 2 weeks of my life. Mr. Armon made it very interesting and related much of the material to real applications. He personally helped me anytime I asked, and also offered to make arrangements if you miss an assignment or quiz. The key is to ask.
If you struggle with math, he is probably not the best teacher to get. Goes through problems in the section on the board the entire class leaving just enough time to take a quiz or in class assignment, which is hard if you take a little longer. Goes through the problems but doesn't explain a lot. If you struggle with math it is easy to get lost
VERY HARD
He is hard to follow and doesn't teach. Just spends the class giving examples. The computer technology projects are stupid.
IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH MATH DO NOT TAKE HIM I SAY DO NOT TAKE HIM
This was the worst math class I have ever taken. John is unclear and unorganized in every way, including writing up on the board. The technology problems are a joke. Please do not take this class with a full load unless you are a pro at math. More than half of the class with-drawled before the last day. Tough grader and you have to keep asking.
This class is ridiculous. I've taken math 115 which is meant to be harder class and it was far easier then this class. And this is a basic math while math 115 is college algebra. The tests for this class are hard, the quizzes are hard, the assignments should be easy but the guy grades them so that nothing seems correct. Don't recommend at all.
Great teacher! He is very concise & assigns only a handful of problems for daily homework. He made geometry so easy!
Took this class as a minimester & it was pretty intense. I suggest taking this class over the course of a regular semester. Also, he assigns only a handful of problems for daily homework. Tests are similar to the pop quizzes so use those as a study guide. Highly recommend!
If you are new to calculus do not take his class. You have to be able to read his scribbles and the problems that he goes over in class have next tp nothing to do with the homework problems and nothing to do with the quiz and test problems. Only bright side is the homework is short.
First math class I had to actually work hard for. Start the projects early. ALWAYS do the recommended problems after HW. The quizzes will be based off of those problems, the tests will be based on the quizzes and the final will be based on the tests. Some of the problems he does on the board are very long-winded and not too helpful. Self learn!
Armon gives all of the information needed for quizzes and is not afraid to specify what stuff WONT be in a quiz or test. Likewise, he states exactly what sections from which chapters will be in the final. He wont spoon feed--you should pay close attention to the lectures and work through problems as he goes. He's willing to help during office hours
At times he moves awfully quickly, expecting you to know more about trigonometry than you may, but if you become lost he is eager to give extra explanation. He clearly enjoys teaching and is always willing to help you get the best grade you can. I recommend this professor.
Armon was the worst teacher I've ever had. His quizzes and tests are nothing like the homework or the notes. We got homework every night that wouldn't even help us with the material. Also goes way too fast in lecture and talks to the board, not the students. When you ask him for help on a question, he just mumbles something, not helping at all.
His tests were absolute monsters. I had to teach my self because he did not make sense.
I have never worried about a grade in a math class my entire educational career until I had this professor. Lectures are confusing and too fast-paced with little to no examples. We received no study guides. Not. A. Single. One. Quizzes are the longest you'll ever see and are tough to finish on time.
He gives daily homework on paper everyday, and math lab homework every week. We have a quiz or a test every other day. When in class he goes too fast to even process the info, and expects you to know what he's talking about. The test are ugly, and long and no study guides. Just not the best teacher.. struggle for the first time in a math class.
His main issue is that he often gives you lots of unnecessary information when lecturing so you spend time trying to figure out what is important. Once you get used to him it's not too bad. Weekly online homework+daily book exercises. Usually 2 quizzes/ch, tests will come directly from quizzes. Must complete 1 Algebra project to pass, 2/B, 3/A
If you have poor fundamentals in math his lecture will be confusing. To get a good grade in his course you must work hard outside of class. If you are getting discouraged in his course I highly recommend taking advantage of his office hours, I notice people getting discouraged and not taking extra steps to seek the help they need.
Math projects are a complete joke. No study guides were ever given for tests, ever. Do not take unless you know how to teach yourself because it will be a rough time. He talks to the board and doesn't engage the class. He told us to write notes down, and if we didn't understand we should look them up on our own time later. It's a lot for nothing.
Extremely hard to keep up with, doesn't teach the info just says it. Homework every day and weekly online assignments that take at least an hour and a half and are only worth like ten points.
Armon has a horrendous teaching style when it comes to math. You're gonna need to work your behind off if you want to get a C or better. Do all the recommended problems he gives because that's what quizzes are based upon. The tests are based upon the quizzes. Oh, the technology projects are absolutely ridiculous and are required to pass the course.
Armon is tough, but if you are prepared to work hard you'll do fine. He is very homework heavy, which doesn't bother me, as the extra works helps me to understand the material. He also requires technology projects in order to pass the class. I had him for college algebra, and received a 95% or 96%.
Just don't take his class! He doesn't explain the problems, there's homework from the book assigned every class period and there's also online homework that he never says when it's due and the due dates change all the time and there's also projects that you have to do on top of all that. plus his test have nothing to do with the homework.
He is the worst... The only reason I got an A in this class is because I had already taken precalc in HS. He even was confusing to me and I already KNEW everything... REALLY BAD CHOICE... not advised.
Yes you will have a lot of homework but that should be expected with math. Studying for tests was a breeze in this class compared to my last math class and I felt he was extremely fair in his grading and was always willing to help when i didnt understand something. If you're willing to put in the work you will be fine
"Math is not a spectator sport." I've taken a few classes with this professor, now. Many students complain about him, but if you ever talk to him outside of class or actually ask questions, which I've noticed no one else ever doing, you'll find he actually really cares about teaching the material and being there. Email him or go to his office.
This class was online because of Covid-19. There was a lot of homework to do. He wrote out his notes and then we were supposed to watch textbook videos which I liked. Very easy to get into a routine because assignments were due the same day each week. Weekly quizzes and 2 homework assignments.
He was the hardest professor I ever took and I am a math major, he was so tough, did not teach the material well and I had to do all the work by myself. Do not recommend it at all. Take him if you want to fail.
I started with a basic understanding, having taken Business Calc over the summer. I managed the first few weeks on the summer's notes. The book provided was convoluted, despite the rather simple subject matter. A disconnect between the homework and tests. Simply reading the book, and doing the homework will not prepare you. Take Fereja's class.
the teaching style is subpar, penmanship is far below average.
The projects are very vague and not explained well considering they are a major portion of your grade. The videos aren't very good at teaching the problems in the homework as well. A lot of word problems.
Do not take him. I struggled a lot in his class. Doesn't teach anything at all, literally just goes over homework. Even when he went over homework it wasn't well explained, it was hard to understand, his handwriting is horrible. Even though I had him for math 115, I know many others that found him difficult and his class is absolutely ridiculous.
Very hard professor for a low math course! Projects are the majority of your grade and they are NOT explained well at all. Struggled a lot in this class, not because im not good at math, it just wasn't taught well. Videos DON'T help when it comes to the homeworks you have to do for this class. The online book did NOT help either. He grades ROUGHLY.
For the most of the semester, I agreed with other students about Professor Armon. However, in the end, when I truly needed help, I finally reached out to Professor Armon outside of class. I then learned that he was incredibly helpful and wanted to help students. Sure, the online class is difficult, but reaching out to Armon will help you learn.
He was amazing professor! Big Projects due almost every week, had whole semester to complete though. Once you completed the projects, he would give amazing feedback to help you find the solution needed. I was very busy that semester and often missed his office hours, I reached out to him and he was always willing to meet with me.
He is okay but does not explain topics that well sometimes but is nice. If you don't understand a topic, ask during or after class. He frequently asked "if you understand the topic." I never emailed him, but he would probably respond. The study guides are okay. Study more than just the study guide if you want to pass. The hw and quizzes are online.
Handwriting: illegible Hours per week spent on homework: uncountable Grading: so harsh it's unbelievable He sends back harsh grades with no explanation of what you did right or wrong. If you do for some reason get feedback, it is difficult to understand. You teach yourself. If you have to take this class, I wish you the best of luck. It sucks.
Difficult class. Homework and projects are worth a lot of your grade. A lot of work for this course I thought it was harder than statistics.
I took Math 110 online class. You don't need to buy a book, free online book. It's no cake walk, but if you study the material and do the assignments, you should do ok. After all, it is College Math, which by nature is tough. Mr. Armon always answered emails quickly and was available for office hours to go over material.
Be ready to work in this class. Lots of homework and incredibly difficult quizzes/exams.
Awful avoid this teacher at all costs
Do every project like your life depends on it. They are the biggest section of your grade and aren't directly tied to the lectures so most of this class will be taught by yourself. He office hours are always accessible but not always helpful.
Do not take a John Armon class unless you want to waste all of your time doing math. Unnecessary amount of work, projects are ridiculous, notes to help you are terrible. At this point I wish for nothing more then to have listened to the people on rate my professor before I took this terrible class. Seriously, DO NOT TAKE.
It's a pretty "easy" class but lots of homework. Be ready to get frustrated with the quizzes since he takes points off if you solve a different way than you see in the textbook or what he deems "correct." He responds very quickly though so that is a bonus. Do the math projects sooner than later and don't procrastinate!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, I WISH I LISTENED TO THE OTHER RATINGS! There is way too much homework assigned weekly and his tests are extremely hard. He does not give ample time to take them either. The textbook sucks and he doesn't make his own online lectures, only uses other people's youtube videos. I taught myself the entire class.
He was very hard to understand and did not explain much at all. He went fast but was super unclear. The last part of the semester was like a whiplash because we went over so much material.
While he is very project-heavy and they can be time consuming, he gives great feedback and genuinely wants you to succeed. I had to get an extension on a few assignments over the course after a personal life issue and he was so kind and more than willing to give me an extension for as long as I needed. He responded very quickly and graded fairly!
Might be the worst teacher I have ever had
Take this professor if you want to feel like you wasted your money
Tough course with lots of homework and difficult exams. The professor's teaching style and handwriting make it hard to learn. Leaning on resources like unstuck AI and the textbook is crucial to survive this class.
His lecture style is boring and uninformative. It is better to read the textbook to learn the material. The hardest part though was not understanding the material, but doing the copious amount of repetitive homework. Expect at least 6 hours of homework a week, excluding the projects, reading, and studying.
The professor is very nice and answers questions. However, you'll need to ask a lot of them online because the textbook tells you nothing. It gives you small examples that doesn't help with the tons of homework you need to do, leading to you mostly just googling. Also, we need to do tech projects. Half the time, they don't relate to classwork.
Lots of effort put into this class. Must complete out of class math projects to earn an A/B/C regardless of test/homework grades. Material is difficult. He is willing to help, but you have to ask him. Went to the academic support center and they were unable to help me, so go to him first. He is clear about what will be on the test.
When taking the class online, he does not teach. You have to go through each section and figure it out on your own. He is not good at answering questions and is not helpful when he does answer. I would not recommend taking a course with him.
Lazy with teaching, harsh with grading. Even if you spend many hours a day studying, you will struggle with him specifically. Calculus in general is tough but my last professors were great at teaching it, avoid this one if you can. Class average was a 65% and he blamed us all. Probably needs to retire.
The only teacher I have ever had a problem with. Things must be his way or the highway, but the issue is that his way of teaching consists of automatically knowing everything, and if you learn from other professors he will still not take it for an answer. He's been here bringing students down forever. Please dont waste your time and money
Do NOT take a class with him. He is not willing to help his students at all. Our first exam our class averaged about a 60% and he blamed us. I begged him for some extra credit, extra project, or to go back over the exam and he refused to help me. He has put my grade in the grade book as a 0 multiple times and I have had to email him to fix it.
