WORST TEACHER EVER! He test are rediculous. He cant teach and he blaims it on his students! You cant use a calculator on anything. I have always been very good at math and never made anything under a B but I have a D in his class right now! Aviod his clas
He seems to be a good teacher. I have trouble following him sometimes, but all in all I think he has a firm grasp on the info. Some advice I would give him is to not flip flop from one concept to another. It gets confusing.
This guy is one of the worse math teachers Ive ever had. I usually get A's in math and I had a low C in his class. He doesnt teach well, doesnt let you use calculators, and doesnt know what he is talking about! Dont take him for math!!!
While he isn't the wost proff ever, he doesn't explain things well and doesnt follow the book.
Worse math teacher Ive ever had. I dropped the class because his test are over stuff he hasnt even taught the class. I wouldnt suggest him if you care about your grades.

In high school I always got good grades in math, but ever since I've had him as a teacher I've gotten bad grades on tests and quizzes. He gives pop quizzes over stuff he doesnt teach and he doesn't know what he's talking about and he's always late to class. If you want to pass, don't take him!
Knows the material but cant teach it.
No offense to the guy or anything but he is a horrible teacher. He makes mistakes all the time in class and isn't very clear. Math is one of my best subjects and im not doing nearly as good as I normally do. If your smart, you wont take beatty.
He is an idiot.
Beatty Sucks! He has no clue as to what he is doing. He once told my class that the reason he teaches college is because the responsibilty is on the student not him so he wouldn't get in trouble if the students were to fail. DON'T TAKE BEATTY,YOUR SURE TO FAIL!
Beatty is a nice guy- but...he can't teach to save his life. he gets mixed up a whole lot and then expects you to figure out what he's trying to say.
I think that he really isnt into teaching- he answers his cell phone durring class- reads right out of the book and instructs us to go the math lab with any questions instead of ask him. gets confused a lot too. Cool guy not good teacher
great guy but really struggles to convey his point. does not do any examples that are not already completed in the book and expects way too much out of his students. does what he can to make up for his mistakes, but you are on your own. if you know the subject you'll get a good grade.
This teacher stinks. He is new and does not know what he is talking about. He does not explain things clearly at all.
He doesnt do well at teaching, he probably would be better doing something else. He doesnt know how to go over problems with students. He's not a bad guy though, he just isnt good at teaching.
He explains something that is so easy and makes it hard. he over teaches and it makes math more confuseing. He knows his math but he dosen't know how to teach it.
he was cool but, he was never serous during class but when you got a bad grade on a test,then he wonderered why youweren'tpaying attention
J-Beatty is definately a cool guy, and outside of class he really is tha man. However when it comes to teaching and getting anyone in his vicinity to understand him you can forget that. But like I said he's super cool, bt most of us go to college to learn not have cool teachers.
Not a good teacher.
J-Beatty is a cool person but does not know how to teaches. All the problems that he works out on the boad are the some example from the book. If he did not have a book to copy from he would not have a clue of what he was teaching. DID NOT TAKE HIM
He is a good teacher and he will always help you out. Those who say his class is hard, it's just because most of them leave early from class, they miss some of the material and later they say it's his fault b/c they didn't do good on the test. He explains everything really good. Just take his class!
this guy just started teaching college so he made it extra difficult. He also have a problem with trusting people. You can never count on him for extra help. Do not take this guy.
Does not teach clearly, sometimes he does not even know how to solve the problem. Gives way to much homework! Over all the worst math teacher ever.
He is a cool guy and all but a bit confused, he took over our class from Assad so he had to go by Assad's slyibus ..he makes the easiest problem the hardest and then he will get confused over the problem in the middle of solving the problem..test are multiple choice and still are hard
The guy is awesome. He will help you in his office 24/7 if you need help.
This guy is extremely confused, all he does in his class is look pretty. He does not know how to explain problems and sometimes even solve them. It takes him a couple minutes to clearly show the solution. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS !!!
He is hot!!!! but haven't been in his class that long... But he does soom sorta confused sometimes!
His test are kind of hard. He teaches out of the book. It would have been easier to take a high-breed class, because teaching yourself is all your doing.
He reads almost entirely out of the book. Doesn't explain how he got from A to B unless you ask every time. Once did an entire chapter in one day, with 40 problems homework for each section. Makes up quizes on his own and they are very unclear and sometimes wrong! Loves you give you fractions. Overall if you can't teach yourself don't take it
No Comments
i think he has a system that works and realy helps u teach yourself.if u can read the book u can make a decent grade.homework isnt taken for a grade,but doing it helps.he also allows u 2 drop the lowest test grade and make up whatever other test u want.if u ask questions it helps.hes not mean or anything.he talks like big boy from outkast,thatscool
Tries to cram to much into your head at once. If you're one of those people who doesn't need a teacher to learn new stuff, you'll do fine . . .otherwise, the class will be hard.
He is very HOT, which made it harder for me to concentrate in his class.Most of the simplest things are drawn out and made complicated.He is always available for extra help and offers it as much as possible.It is easier for him to break down the basics when you are one-on-one.Tests are multiple choice and covers the basic concepts of the material.
No good....stay away from him!
John Beatty is a good teacher.. He expects alot from his students, as he should. He is very intelligent, and is intersted in alternate perspectives.. He likes to learn just as much as he teaches. This is not a difficult class unless you neglect your work, he wants everyone to pass, and he really cares.. valuable math teacher, and great guy.
He skips back and forth from one thing to another and it doesn't seem like he really knows what he is trying to say a lot of the time. Someone else on here said that it takes him, the teacher, a while to find the solution to a problem he is showing us and I agree.
He does not explain what he teaches! He may have a lot of knowledge about math but his teaching skills are poor. He never took the time to explain how he went from a to b. He just assumes you should how he went from a to b. I should of just took the online course.
I did not think he was that bad. I got a B in his class, you do have to study though. He is very nice, he allows you to ask questions and will work with you until you get it. If you take this class you have to not get easily discouraged and you have to actually study.
His class is a reasonable college math class,but his teaching skills suck. He is always late for class. Sometimes 15 minutes and sometimes 30 minutes,so be prepared to show up late for his class! He also jumps from one topic to another! He doesn't know how to teach!
If you have trouble with Math at all- DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN! He knows his Math, I just think he has a problem conveying it in a simple way. He tends to confuse you and go back and forth. He was really hot though, so it made me want to learn :) If you are okay in math FINE- but otherwise stick to someone who teaches better. I had to work real HARD!
Mr. Beatty has been an awesome teacher so far. He really wants all of his students to understand what he is teaching. He is always there if you need help. I would take more math classses from him.
Ugh. This guy makes me mad.he tells us to be on time everyday to our 8 o'clock class, then half of the year so far he has been 15-30 min late, he even missed two days unannounced. If i am told to be there on time he better be there. Easy test. You dont need the book if you take notes in class. Easy A but lame teacher.
Mr. Beatty is a nice man, he will answer any question you have and answer emails; but he can be very confusing because he jumps around allot. I find when he is on a subject for a while he becomes more clear. If you are not a good math student take someone else. If you are a good math student I think you will like him, easy workload.
I dont understand why ppl complain so much about this teacher.I believe he knows how to teach.Ppl who complain are dummys.
Easy as hell. Explains thoroughly. Anyone that doesn't pass this class wtih an A definitely needs to go back to remedial math and relearn the basics. Too good a professor to get a low rating.
Mr. Beatty is nice and very willing to give you extra help at your convenience. I have stayed after class many times for help understanding the material and he worked with me as long as I needed him.
Hes the best teacher ever. He gives you homework which ultimately will benefit you. I will recomend him.
He is the most horrible teacher in the world! No freaking joke! He couldn't even finish most of the problems in the class and expected us to learn them! Had a study group and we all made D's! Never ever ever ever ever take him! He is never on time!
he will start on a promble and half way though it he will stop becouse he does not know what he is doing. Some of the student in the class would even tell hem how to work out the prombles. He has not clue of what he is teaching. DO NOT TAKE HEM!!!
I don't recommend this teacher if you have trouble in math. He is a good teacher, but he went too fast. He doesn't trust his students and thinks they are all dishonest.
i would suggest you stay out of this mans class.... horrible horrible teacher
I think he's a great teacher! He's always in his office helping people & he's super-nice! Take this class!!
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS.
dont take this class. he is the WORST teacher i have ever had and i have had a lot of terrible teachers. he does not know what he is talking about.he can hardly solve a math problem by his self.
He was fair and easy to understand. I recomend him.
Not prepared for classes, he simply repeats what is in the book. He doesnt get that folks in 0097 are there because WE DON'T UNDERSTAND MATH. He needs to be flexible and present it in a totally different way than the book. Need remedial math? See Ms. Day. But he's cute, gotta give him that!
makes class very hard, take at own risk
Mr. Beatty was a fun teacher! Not very clean at times but if u ask he will take the time to explain. Math was hard for me but i came out with an "A" so if i can do it u can too... Good luck!
hard as hell
Lots of work .hard do not take him
I think this guy is a total jerk. I know from first hand experience that the lower levels of math struggled. If you are good enough to have made it up to Calc II you can probably do it but it won't be pretty. The only thing that I liked about him was that he encouraged office visits if you needed extra help.I recommend Sanders or Powell instead.
Excellent teacher and always willing to help
Excelllent instructor. Fair, funny, and knows his stuff. Those who complain about his class are those who are most likely not putting in any effort. I recomment him to anyone who has to take learning support at the Lawrencevill campus. I had him for both 97 and 98 and got an A in each. I will be taking him again this fall for College Algebra.
Thank you Mr. Beatty for your dedication.
I had this teacher as a sub. I have learned a lot but it was hard to pay attention. the view was very nice. He IS GOOD LOOKING
First of all I had a strong Calc I background coming into this class. He seems like he doesn't know what he is doing some days, but others he does. He gives homework quizes rarely, and the tests come straight from in-class handouts. Bottom line, easy tests, easy class.
I've never gotten below an A in any math class I've taken in college, but this class was awful. He wasn't helpful at all and his teaching skills just weren't apparent. Over 3/4 of the class dropped, myself included. He doesn't seem to care whether or not you get the material and the tests had multiple "trick" type questions on them. :(
First day felt like what the hell is this! As the class goes on Mr B gets easy. He is a little confusing while explaining, but i did put in a lot of effort. We got few homework quizzes and tests are not bad. I got an A....Take this if you are a hard worker or good test taker. I am taking him again for Calc II.
he was an okay teacher...pretty easy if u know ur math. i have a good understanding of algebra so it was really easy for me i just slacked off so i got a B. his tests are so easy jus tdo that take home quiz and ur good to go. he explains math clearly goes step by step...but if u cant grasp the concept quick enough then dont take him
lots of homework, about 4. test ok teacher
good teacher..i made a B...explains good..and I AM NOT A MATH PERSON!!! too much homeweork though....makes you keep a folder journal thingy..not cool..other than that OK
Mr. Beatty kicks ass. If you are willing to make an effort he will work with you.
J. Beatty LET ME JUST START OFF BY SAYING HE IS SO SEXY.He's a really cool guy, dwn to earth. He's willing to help ANY of his students if they need help.Can be VERY UNCLEAR at some points and he may give you2 much info but if you continue2 ask how he got there or stay for help I guarantee you won't be confused any more. READ ON YOUR OWN!!!
He sucks AWFULLLYY BADDD!!! He teaches STRAIGHT UP from the book. He goes ON AND ON AND ON AND ON. He just rambles until your ears explode into nothingness. I STRONGLY recommend you take another prof. I really hated him. I rather teach myself.
Ok, first off let me tell you he isn't that bad. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but you don't have to turn it in he has homework quizes. My class only had one all sem the tests are pretty simple and there is extra credit. If you need help ask and he will go over it again until you get it. He enjoys teaching just give him a try. He is really good.
Ok..my calc 2 class is done and i have passed it with an A..Easy teacher, but sometimes you gotta spend a lot of time to get the material. A for Calc 1 and A for Calc 2...GO Beatty
He came to class late, unprepared, and (in my opinion) not confident in the material. His tests had several errors, and he had difficulty grading them - like the time he lost the answer key. His office hours were "appointment only", and he was difficult to get in contact with. I expected more for my money.
Just don't take his class. so confusing! really bad!
This guy loves Math and shows it. Yes, he goes on and on-he keeps going til you get it! Very helpful-I hate Math but he helped me get my A in 99 and 1111. Do all the homework, attend every single class and ask questions-that is the key. Very great Math teacher!!!!!
He's good, he spends half of the class talking about the previous tests, homeworks, ect. and not about the math part. He gives no extra credit ever but does give extensions a lot. At one point he opened back up course compass so we could go back in and make up hw we didn't do.
I Luv dis guy!! This is my second time taking his class and i got a 'B' both times. Not because he gave it to me (cuz he don't give out grades) but because he helped me soo... much until i understood what in da hell was goin on. I still don't like algebra but now i kinda got a understanding of it. Not to mention da fact dat he is very handsome!
TERRIBLE!!!! i would not recommend this class to anyone who is not up for self teaching. he was lazy and most of the class either dropped out or just stopped attending. You basically had to teach your self everything. he relied on "my math lab" to teach the course for him. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. (he is cute though)
he explains it in details but its no that bad
omg this mr beatty was a good teacher but did not explain the material enough. he would teach you something in class and when you go home to do math lab it was things that you had to figure outyourself but he leave quizzes and homework open which is a big +
excellent, understanding, considerate,
Do not take him. You might as well take it online rather than take him. Everything is my math lab. DO NOT(Stay away I'm warning you).
hes very helpful IF u ask, but teaching is very vague and all over the place
Gives HARD test
This guy is a great teacher. I got a C but thats because I didn't try as had as I could have in the beginning. He covers the material clearly and he does lots of examples. If you don't do well its because your not doing the work he assigns or your not asking questions. One of the best teachers I have ever had.
Mr. Beatty is a GREAT TEACHER! If anyone has a hard time its because they are not doing the work assigned. I took him for granted at first , but when I went for help he went out of his way and I pulled my D to a B in the end. Also he is a PLEASURE to look at! LOL
great teacher
He is the most outstanding teacher you could ever have. I passed his class with an A. He teaches every step and goes over your previous work. He offer tutor during his office hours. There should not be any excuse why an individual should not pass his class. He reopens all assignments. However, take his advice and get a study group it helps.
Mr b is truely a great teacher I hate math bt he really made me come to understand it and even a little bit like it.. I wish he was teaching the next math level I need because I would take the class just for his teaching skills I reccommend him highly!!!!!
Mr. Beatty is a nice man but is terrible at teaching. He goes too fast on explaining the materials. He also compares classes and talks about "life lessons" instead of teaching about math. He often has to look in the back of the book for the answers. I got an A but I do not recommend him if you struggle in math.
Mr. Beatty seemed okay at first but after a few weeks he started acting like we were his kids. He went on & on about things unrelated to math. He actaually taught well tho. Come to class everyday & do all your homework, you'll pass. I wouldn't take his class if I wasn't good in math. He moves pretty quickly.
Mr. Beatty is a great teacher, and very easy on the eyes. You have to study but he is always willing to help outside of class. I was failing at the half but with his help I ended up with an A. If you want easy, he is not for you.
HE IS A HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!
Mr. Beatty changed my life! He is really committed to seeing students realize their potential.I hated math when i came to his class and now it's my favorite subject. He is more than a teacher, he is a mentor and I am extremely grateful for everything he has taught me about math as well as life and learning.
Mr. Beatty is a great teacher. Math is not my subject I failed because of my lack of skill. But he is I repeat a great teacher. I learned things from him and he'll go over things as many times as you need to understand and if you still can't understand he will help you during his office hours. He was great. And goodness is he good on the eyes !!!!!
Mr.Beatty is a perfect instructor, he is respectful and clean and always willing to re-teach anything you may have a problem with. He cares about his students and also is a very cute handsome professor.
Great overall teacher!
Not a good teacher but not a horrible one either. just didnt work for me
Professor Beatty is a great teacher. I received a B in his class, I couldve did better if I studied more but I got what I deserved. I took him during the summer, and I believe that is really the best time to take a math course. Overall he was a great teacher and I would reccomend him to anyone, plus he is gorgeous.
Mr.Beatty was cool but his teaching skills suck. If math is not really your subject this isnt the teacher for you. Mr.Beatty explains no differently from the book to improve your understanding. In fact all of the notes were directly from the book so if you're all about self teaching this is the class for you.
OMG!!!!! Great Professor!!! I HATE....and let me say it again, I HATE math, but he helped me a whole lot! Got an A in both classes that I took for him. I love him and I wish that he could teach every class that i need to take in order to graduate. Oh yeah...he is SOOO HOTTT!!!
Good teacher. If you're willing to work, you'll make an okay grade. Math isn't my thing, but I did alright in there because he's always willing to help and wants to see his students succeed.
MR. Beatty is a very intelligent and knowledgeable math instructor, however he lacks compassion for the students. He does not take the initiative to offer any assistance to those in need of help.He rushes through explaining the work and if you have too many questions he will have you to come to his office
Mr. Beatty is a nice guy. However, he seems like he is in a bad mood a lot. He sometimes makes offensive comments. Only take his class if you ae not easily offended or want moe information than what is in the text book.
Professor Beatty is very helpful and patient. You need to attend class every day and form a study group as soon as possible. You should keep on top of the online MathLab homework and quiz assignments. When Professor Beatty talks, his rhythm and cadence reminds me of Denzel Washington. He is very handsome and it's hard to stay focused.
Mr Beatty is a good math teacher. His good looks and physique can be a distraction but its clear he wants his students to have a strong foundation in math and i like his teaching style. HE is the answer to Math anxiety and I would definately look for his classes as i move up.
Teaches straight from the book. Not very good at explaining and he grades hard, too. If you're good at self-study then you're good. If not, you might want to look for another professor.
hes a good prof,kinda like tough love you know he wants u to study as you should in every class and wants u to succeed,i was late to every class and had an F throughout the semester but made a 100%on final so ended up with a B so hes a good prof he means well and he may seem mean at times but these folk overexaggerrate,hes cool and helpful in offic
I really enjoyed Beattys class. I mean he worked with the students alot,people in my class were just lazy,&nd thats why they failed.If you do your homework before the class when he explained it..you would see he did a very good job. I wish he was teaching pre-cal.
This teacher was the best!!! Made the class as easy as 2 plus 2!!!!!!!
He only teaches by opening the book doing sample problems. He doesn't like to answer questions. He says "this is a lecture not a study group". He doesnt seem to care at all if you succeed in the class. The test questions are different than the homework/notes. He assigns homework in heavy loads and it is due before the material has even been taught.
Only take him if you love being swamped with homework and at home quizzes, hard tests with only a few questions, and teaching yourself off of youtube at home.
Don't take this professor. He not helpful. Not helpful, doesn't explain the material so that you can understand. He only teaching for a check. Not to help you learn.
The worse. Lectures doesn't teach. Math should be taught and you should be given details not a basic walk through on how to do a problem.
Professor John Beatty was one of the best male teachers I've taken. He was very easy to get along with. He also cared about every student in the class. He was extremely helpful to each student. He knew what he was talking about on the subject. I would take any of his classes. Just follow his guidelines and you will pass. Lisa Wise
Mr. Beatty is all over the map. Although he is super helpful and made himself available, he was very unorganized. Be prepared to live in the tutoring center and form study groups. if you DO NOT do these things, you will be guaranteed to fail. I failed 2 out of 5 tests but aced my final because I studied for 4 days straight for hours and got an A.
RUN AWAY FROM THIS PROFESSOR!!!! All he cares about is getting thru his reading for the day. DOES NOT TEACH AT ALL. Always gets smart with the students when u ask a question. I lived at the tutoring center when I took him, but ended up dropping the class cause all he does is set you up for failure. His is one of the worst teachers i've ever met.
H e uses WEBASSIGN for every class assignment
he talks so much and constantly asking everyone to stop working on our class work only to listen to him repeat the same redundant information,as if we just didn't hear him 10 minutes before. Other than the constant unnecessary lectures he's decent but I wouldn't advise anyone to take his class for this course
This class used ALEKS so you mostly worked on your own; however, Prof. Beatty was always readily available to assist when help was needed. He's not a hands on instructor. Very approachable; has a natural desire to see students succeed. Basically, your success in this class depends heavily on how hard you work. Would definitely take his class again.
I made sure to come back and rate this prof. He was the best ever. Math is tough, however he gives you so many chances to help you out. This is a teacher that REALLY cares! He does his best to explain in lecture and if not his door is always open to come talk to. He's very patient and I wish I could take him for every math course I have. TAKE HIM!!
I don't see how everyone else had difficulty with Mr. B, his class was the best. His lectures go fast, but he truly tries his hardest for each student to understand the material. I'd love to take Mr.B again. I've NEVER had a teacher who genuinely cared about me as a student and my understanding of math. If you participate and try you'll do great!
Mr Beatty is a very strict professor and you have to be very attentive in his class. He usually helps stuent out but you have to be able to communicate with him.
Mr Beatty is a very nice Professor, he cares about students alot but you need to be able to work with him if you wanna pass, do ur homeworks and finish it before the due dates even tho he always lets students appeal tests and assignments.
WORST TEACHER EVER!!! Mr. beatty does not teach at all. I have never met a math teacher like him before, homework due before class? Like what? All he do is talk, and then he tries to teach he talks at you. There is never a lesson plan, he copies thing out the textbook like i cant do that on my own.
Ok, So you do have to work for this class, but if you are going into a math based field take it because you do learn ! if not, then it may be a waste of time. He lectures the entire time. But he lets you know exactly what will be on the test. And the study guide is basically the final so if you work hard you can easily get an A
If Math is one of your weaknesses, do not take Professor Beatty. Rather than reviewing course requirements, he likes to preach.. He is extremely redundant and rambles on entirely too much about completely irrelevant material. In order to be successful, I actually dropped this course because of him.
This class is not an easy A, but if you work hard, study, and meet with him for study hours theres no way you can fail. He is very caring, and wants to help you do your best. I'm not sure about others experiences but this guy was the best math teach Ive had so far. Take him and you wont regret it. But dont expect to be handed an A.
Mr. Beatty is a great math professor. He knows the content very well to teach it to an understanding. However, the tests are open response no multiple choice. He makes you work for your grade. What you work hard for is what you receive.
If you do not like Math to begin with, please do not take this professor's class. You will really end up hating Math. I passed with a D and repeated the course with another professor and got an A. He does not teach well.
Hes a horrible teacher,I wouldnt suggest anyone takes him he teaches with no feelings he will see you dedicated and willing to learn but still fail you I took it online and passed with an A
Dr. B is very inspirational. He informed us of how he wasnt good at math, but look at him now, hes a math professor. He truly cares whether his students are passing or not. Dont be afraid to ask questions when confused. He will not give you an easy A but he will most definitely do his best to make sure you understand the concept.
Proff. Beatty is awesome, I never thought i'd pass a math class with an A. He is great with office hours, and really wants his students to understand the criteria before testing.
Amazing professor. Really helps his students. Just do the homework and practice the problems youve done in class and youll be fine.
He was a good professor but all of the assignments and quizzes were due online. The class was on campus but i felt like I was going to school online. Also its ok to miss class a few times but it will be very hard to catch up so it would be best not to miss class. He does tutor on office hours to help you understand something you didn't get in class
would not recommend.
Mr. Beatty is amazing. Always willing to help during class and office hours. I hate math, but my grade point average says differently. He does talk a lot I must agree, but Id take him again.
He was an alright professor. Sometimes he didn't even know what he was teaching. He was flexible with homework and quiz time since it's all online. He talks a lot. If you skip class a lot, it will be hard for you to catch up. His class is a lot of work, but if you pay attention and do the work, you'll pass. Class should just be online completely.
I love Professor Beatty cause he's very passionate about his students and math! If you go to him for help, he'll be so patient and understanding with you. Precal was much easier than College Algebra, but I took him for both and he helped me tremendously. Literally the best professor ever! And he's so funny, so it helps class flow smoothly.
He barely responds to emails. He is always late and didn't teach anything just had us watch videos online.
Professor Beatty is great! He was always willing to help when I had questions, which I'm always nervous about doing. He's understanding and takes the time to explain the work. The class was blended (in person/online), but I preferred in-person. There is a lot of work, but as long as you get the clarification you need, it's pretty easy.
He is a nonresponsive professor and will drop you from the class for no reason. My withdrawal counts are now wasted. I paid for this class for no reason he is a scam. I did all of my work as well as my quizzes I was WRONGFULLY withdrawn!!!!
Professor Beatty has a structured teaching approach, but engages well. The workload is heavy, but going to office hours and using tools like unstuckstudy can really help. Attendance is a must to keep up.
The course was easy to take because it was all online and I just had to maintain a schedule. His email responses are pretty fast and helps when you need it. The math wasn't too difficult but there is a lot of math work to do, so just remain focused.
I'm telling you—do not, I repeat, DO NOT take him as your instructor. The workload is overwhelming, he doesn't offer any help, and you have to pay around $140 for the website just to complete your homework. It's mandatory, and it's not worth it.
This professor is disrespectful and has no social awareness of communication in emergencies. His class was mostly online and straightforward, but do not waste your time with this professor. Attendance was mandatory, but he only ever talked about homework in class. He was biased toward certain students. HE SHOULD NOT BE A TEACHER. Never again!
