I took the class with the commenter below me. As long as you pay attention, do the homework, study outside of class, you will get a good gade. The commenter below me was immature, asked the dumbest questions, didn't raise her hand and just pissed people off. Dedinsky is a good math teacher. You just have to be willing to learn.

This guy is boring. Bored me to tears. The only thing more boring than the math are his lame anecdotes. He is a clear teacher, he paces the class way too slow, and he gives easy tests. Before each test is a helpful study guide that has similar questions to everything on the real test. This class is easy. His smile is creepy. Real creepy.

Dedinsky is a good professor if you are interested in learning math. He explains well and doesn't make you feel stupid for asking a question. I got an A in his math C and finite math classes. You need to do the hmwk.

If you lission to his lecture, do homewor, you'll get high score for sure. Test is the same as homework. No quiz. I got 100% for all the tests. Text book is not needed if you take notes in class! good luck.

Explains concepts well, goes through every detail of the lab, curves the test... one must make F a goal to fail.

He explains math really well. No need for textbook, good notes is all you need. The test is based on HW questions; study HW, you do well! He welcomes every question you have and wants you to do well. Encourages logic, not just memorizing. He is a good teacher and would take his class again.

His style teaching is "liberal". No textbook! All test base on HW! Do the HW and try to understanding it. You will get A. Need to attend the class to know the HW thought!

he is very good teacher,,i like he's teaching style..

Mr. Dedinsky is a phenomenal professor because he's can be flexible if students have questions on homework. He doesn't mind answering questions. He's respectful of students' questions and is open. For someone whose strength isn't in Math, you have to invest additional time in learning the math concepts because Dedinske tends to skip lots of steps

If you attend class and take notes( this is mandatory because he doesnt use the book ), the class is simple. His tests questions are taken from the homework. Will be taking him for Math2 next semester!

One of the best teachers at MC. The test questions come directly from the homework, and the homework is only to review your notes from class. Every test question is answered in class prior to the test... how much easier can it get?

Not my most favorite teacher in the world. He is diffucult to follow sometimes and he goes really fast during lecture. Whatever he tells you is going to be on the test, is GOING TO BE ON THE TEST. His class is hard to take, but if you do love math and love learning it, he may be the right teaher for you.

GREAT TEACHER! One of the best professors at Mission College.

He is easiest teacher to me when I took in summer. All test are in homework which he solved in class, and you just need to understand how to solve them or you learn by heart if you can. I studied Art 4 much more than this class when I took 2 class in summer. He gave some interesting stories about math. I and my friend got A in his class with ease.

He's a really good teacher, but he likes his proofs a little too much sometimes. His exams are based on the questions he gives you the solution to before, so you're reprinting what he told you. only HW is to study the given work He knows A LOT, so if you dont get it just ask him, cause that's really the only way to really get the stuff. overall: :D

He's a great teacher clearly knows what he talks about, its amazing :D you might have a slight problem following cause of his speed test are based on the problems given and solved in class so you need to know how you do it and you'll get an A on the test doesn't really give you practice so if you need extra help, ask him directly only way to get it

Calc 2 isnt an easy class and to have a prof that structure his class to where anyone could pass is amazing. This prof is a little TOO much into proofs but he is really good compare to other profs out there! Take this class & u should pass if you just study the homework problems!

Dedinsky is a great professor but he tends to skip steps a lot, which makes it hard to follow at times. His exams are EXACTLY similar to homework problems that he goes over in class. Sounds easy, but def. put in work. His lectures are broken into sections; this was how I studied and I thought it really helped me learn patterns and concepts easier.

i never made a rating on rmp however u guys need to know this is hands down the best class to take if you need calculus. i didnt know any algebra (didnt know how to even factor) and i have one of the highest grades, he believes ur grade is reflected by the amount of work you put into the class. you have to put ALOT, ALOT of work but youll get an A.

Very reasonable professor. If you just concentrate and study seriously, you should be able to ace his class. He seems to be very obsessed with proofs though!

His lecture is fast, so you need to copy what he writes fast and w/o mistakes. His exams are from the note, so there is no curve ball in exams. But u need to memorize 45-60 problems for 10-12 exam q.s. If u are good at memorizing take his class, if not consider other professor. He is very helpful and patiently will answer everything.

He really knows what he is teaching. you should take him if you want to learn about Math

He is ok. I got Bs on both of his midterms. He is obsessed with proofs. His exams are not too hard. He pulled one exam on a curve. Not a bad professor.

He is very helpful. I learned from him a lot even though many students said he is not teaching. I don't agree. If you study, you absolutely learn.

Dedinsky is a great teacher and very helpful. I got an A with moderate effort. I highly recommend him.

great professor! learned alot from him

He wants his students to succeed. You will leave the course as a better student. The class is straight forward and easy. He does problems in class and the exact same problems he does in class are the problems that are going to be on the test. If you spend sometime reviewing your notes every week you should get an A. He is a very lenient grader.

He doesn't give you any "homework". During class. he will present the questions and do them step by step. If you put in time to study those questions and understand the theorems, you don't need to memorize anything for his test. He's very knowledgeable and I enjoyed every secs of his lecture. It is a challenging class nonetheless.

This is a challenging class. However, if you keep reviewing your notes after class and understand how to do all problems that he marked for "test," then you'll do well. I love this class and the way Dr. Dedinsky taught us. After taking his class, I find math interesting and would love to learn further in this subject.

Took him for math2,3A,3B and got all A's. No book. He gives the problems & solutions and marks them as test questions. The homework is to review the test questions. He marks 50+ q's but picks ~10 for exams. If you take time to understand and learn the material then there is very little need to memorize. I enjoyed his class and loved his approach.

I love this class!! I really enjoyed Math when I took Professor Dedinsky's class. If you're interested in Math, you should definitely take his class. If you do extra homework that relate to his theorems, you'll be able to solve ALL the problems quickly. You'll learn from him a lot of intelligent shortcuts too. Awesome teacher!!! :)

He's super easy. He note the test questions on his lectures which are his hand writing every class, and the tests were 98% the same with his notes. He gave 4 extra credits. This class didn't need textbook. Take his class to get B or A on Math.

Professor Dedinsky has a different approach to teaching. He wants his students to academically succeed, but it all depends on the student. He gives the lecture and states what's on the test. Learning the material is A LOT better than memorizing the Q+A's. He uses plenty of mathematics vocabulary, but if you look up the meaning, it will help you.

I've always had trouble at math, and Dedinsky changed my whole perspective, BE PREPARED to spend hours studyingmemorizing theorems! A lot of other students struggled around me for this six week class, but I passed with an A! What is on the test is EXACTLY in the notes; the only way to fail is to not even try.

if you love maths he is definetly your professor. i have taken so make professors that are rated highly but John dedinsky is my best . he really teaches you math with logic instead of how to solve problems. he is the only teacher that understood mathimatical thinking and new ways . i am waiting to take him again

Would take again. Prof has an unorthodox way of teaching maths which has made me appreciate it as a study in a way I haven't before. I'd recommend him for math lovers or math haters. No Book/HW Prob Tips for success: If Math3a, review trig and pre calc stuff beforehand,itl make more easier Form a study group/buddy Prof is there for you, ask ?s.

Good teacher overall. If you don't like math this isn't the class for you! No homework at all. Tough tests but good grader!

I would take this professor again not only because the tests were not so hard but rather because he makes it real easy. However you definitely have to learn the material, so that you do well on the test. Spending a bunch of time must be usual for such material, else failure may result. No extra credit Really helpful, but mandatory attendance

BEST math teacher ever. Don't confuse a good teacher with an easy class, because the subject matter (come on, we're talking about pre-calc) is not easy. No textbooks and no unannounced tests. Tests are based on lectures which he posts online. Initially seems mean, but is really caring. 10/10. Taking him for calc 1 in fall.

He's a good teacher. Yes, all his test are based off of lectures, but take your chance on asking help from him, he's willing to help. Nice and patient teacher. I would definitely take any of class again.

If you plan to take his class, pay close attention to his lectures, it actually mirrors what's going to be on the test. If you don't understand, ask him, he looks intimidating but he is a nice guy. Taking him for 3b

He is a nice professor! He answers you kindly anytime if you question. Also, you have to understand or even master all the notes which assigned by him during the lectures. The note will DECIDE your final grade although it has tons of proofs!!! Be ready!

Solid professor for calculus. Take notes because you will see them again in his exams. If you don't understand the concept, ask him help. He makes Calculus much, much simpler for you. Take his class.

He's a good teacher. If you attend lectures and pass all his exams, you can get an A. I would practice the problems rather than memorizing proofs to help you give a better understanding of Calculus. Take his class.

He's really helpful. Everything in the notes is on the test but I would practice more problem rather than memorizing notes. If you do this, test is going to be easy for you. He will make you like math.

Took him for calc 2 and now calc 3. Dedinsky was so helpful and wants his students to academically succeed. I recommend his class.

His style of teaching is very straightforward copy the notes and mark the problems he tells you are on the exams. He gives you about 100 pages of notes and in those notes there are 40 possible exam questions and he chooses 10 of those 40. I recommend working on the proofs because those that time to understand.

He tells you that 50 problems could potentially be on the midterm, but only 10 of those 50 are. Study those problems thoroughly and you'll be fine. For the final, he gave us 90 potential problems because he wants us to practice a variety of problems. The homework is to study the potential exam problems. He's really friendly, so ask questions!

Gives you potential questions for the midterms. No homework, attendance not mandatory. But if you don't attend class and don't do the potential questions, you will fail. Great professor, you can feel his passion for math. The potential problems are usually the toughest questions with a lot of algebra tricks, so brush up on your algebra

Taking Dedinsky for MAT4A and he's super easy. Lectures are heavy & sometimes boring. He marks potential test Q's & only 10-12 are on the test. He recently started doing quizzes every class but he tells you what problem you should study. You can do the quizzes at the end of the lecture if you come in late. 2 midterms & final. I recommend for 4A.

He's a great professor. Gives you the potential questions which will be asked during the exam. He takes attendance but it's not going to effect your grade that much. Recently starting to give quizzes every day but he tells you the quiz question. It's an easy class as long as u do ALL the potential questions. There is no homework

Math 4a is well known to be difficult. Dedinsky makes this class easier for you to understand. He will give the questions for quizzes and mark potential questions for exams. It's an easy A if you put time studying it.

I took his Calculus 1 in spring 2019. This class is not difficult if you really pay attention and do a daily work. He let you know ahead potential questions in daily Quiz and Midterm/ Final. He grades easy, but no extra credit. Midterm 1 and Final is manageable, midterm 2 is the hardest test in an entire semester.

Good professor. Easy if u put in the time and effort. His notes are sometimes difficult but he marks the potential questions, so it's a fair game. He's really sweet and helpful. 2 midterm, a final and daily quizzes and he tells the quiz question.

His exams are potential questions from his notes. Make sure you understand the material. He gives quiz and tells you the question. Easy A if you study the material.

Spends most of class time doing problems on the projector and then he publishes them online, although his handwriting is very difficult to read and he skips important steps, so you need to attend class. He assumes you have a strong math background. Study by practicing the marked test questions. Pro tip: Make a summary sheet of each concept to study

Prof. Dedinsky is amazing! He tells you all of the potential test questions beforehand and is true to his word. There's no homework, only practicing the 50+ potential test problems. He curves his tests (most of the time it benefits the class average) and also has extra credit too. Just make sure to do practice the problems he gives you. Easy A!

I took his 3B class, the material was really hard especially the midterm 2 and final. However, he spent time to explain and made sure your questions answered. In my class, he caught few cheaters, so if you tried to cheat on his test. Enter as your own risked. Make sure you spend enough time to understand his materials and concepts. Asking is a key

Dedinsky is the best prof for people that have a decent math base. He has a 200 page document of questions for the course that he slowly works through in lecture and he teaches you everything from that. Study off of his marked test questions on the document and you'll get an A. Exams are extremely fair and super short and easy.

Great teacher with a solid lecture. Speaks fast but the material is amazing and comprehensible.

He is very passionate and knowledgeable. He teaches using a 200 page document with various problems. Some of these questions are marked as potential test questions, so the test questions are directly from the lecture. Ask if you don't understand something; he explains very clearly. Pay attention in class, try your best, and practice makes perfect!

His lectures are somewhat heavy if you don't pay attention to them. The test will be 100% based on his lectures and he will arrange the grade based on the test's result.

I took this class for dual enrollment, he tells you exactly what's going to be on each midterm and final so its very easy to study for it, if you put in like 4 hours before each test its possible to get a 100%, he curves the midterms very generously (for one of them a 68% was a B), and there's barely any homework and all the homework is optional.

Wide amount of exams adding up to 60% on your grade, eg 2 exams, each worth 30% (up to 6 exams). I had 2 exams before the final, they'll mess ur grade if u dont do well. Practice given problems multiple times AND learn the concepts. He often skips over important steps in class bc too "trivial." Hw's worth nothing. Very passionate abt math tho

He uses a 170pg document for notes. Not a lot of HW is assigned, but he marks a lot of class examples as "potential test questions" to be solved. Yes, he puts a fair amount of them on the test for the given chapters, often verbatim, but proofs are usually included. Tests are curved nicely (73% = B).

He expects you to understand or practice ~60 pages per exam and he will put about 10-20 of them (marked as 10 questions with parts [a.] and [b.]). Curves are pretty large (70% = B), (~80%=A). Expect 2-3 tests to determine your grade. You get to know all questions beforehand as they appear on the exam. He's great and motivated -- just don't be lazy.

Professor Dedinsky is great—no homework, just pay attention in class. He clearly explains a 150-page doc and selects 10 key questions from 60 possible test question on the exams., some tough but manageable. Two drill tests are reviewed step by step. If you stay focused, the class is very doable and well-organized. Highly recommended.

Prof. Dedinsky is great! The key is to practice the test questions he marks during lectures on a weekly basis and build fluency. He can move a bit fast during lectures, but honestly if you get lost don't be shy to ask questions, he does his best to help out. The tests are all curved and he gives partial credit. Don't slack off and you'll be fine!

Genuinely easy A even though I got a B. I should have studied for the second midterm. He is a clear grader and he is an expert in proofs and is perfect for linear Algebra. This was the best class I took in math so far. Its reasoning and memorization but if you have strong reasoning you barley have to memorize. the tests are generously curved.

Everyone says this professor is difficult but the difficult ones are the students who don't appreciate his teaching and patience. He gives you the test questions and the lecture are really easy to understand. He is also very good at updating the notes on canvas and is a very easy grader. I'm gate keeping this class. easy A

So easy to get an A, genuinely an easy class because he literally gives you the test questions. Out of 60 questions 10-15 of them are on each midterm. So so easy if u just practice or even memorize the questions and answers you can get an A. He's a really easy grader.

Amazing but lecture heavy. Easy to get an A

He gives you all the test questions so its easy to get an A but you HAVE to set aside time to study. Attendance is very important. He grades based on vibes so if you get all As but a B on the final he gives you a B. Theres no percentage or grade calculation just vibes so you really don't know what your grade will be.

Good professor if you want to get an easy A. Text questions are given in advance and the test is announced two weeks before the exam, so you have time to go over the material. The Professor gives you the benefit of the doubt when grading. Attendance boosts your grade. Class emphasizes memorization over application, which could be a problem for some
