Horrible teacher. MAth is not my strong spot and he made it even harder. Rude, always in a hurry. He laughed at me when i showed him a wrong answer. I failed this class because i was so uncomfortable even being in the same room as him. Im shocked he still has a job.

Took his class over the summer. Once called me a "dumb blonde" because I asked him for help on the math hw and it didnt make sense to me. Never ever take his class. RUDE! Take MR. HARTMAN. He is EXCELLENT, pleasant, and caring. Shakes my hand and tells me he is pleased when I do well on the quiz!

Everytime i would ash him a question he would tell me that I had to look at the certificates but it wouldnt help. And then when i got behind, he would get mad at me. He was useless and annoying.

har to understand accent, not clear at all, doesnt help that much. i had him for the winter semester...i regret that A LOT

His thick accent makes it hard to understand him. He reads straight from the book. It's like independent learning. He can't explain it in simple plain language for a person who isn't good at math to understand. He doesn't give back tests or quizzes for one to keep and study from. Not willing to bend. He reviews prior to the test on the day of.

He is horrible

Worst teacherI've ever had. I'm a 4.0 student and his class was by far the worst class I've ever taken. He reads strictly from the book, has no patience for questions & is extremely hard to understand. Is very unbending & unhelpful - was unwilling to help 8 people in my class that needed this class to graduate. They all failed! Terrible teacher!

he is a bipolar teacher he is all nice and helpful but then the next day he is rude and unhelful. He reads out of the textbooks he uses mathzone I think that website should be destroyed it sucks plus he never show us how to download derive at home. He gets very cranky Also he LIKES TO YELL ALOT you are like 5 feet away too!!!

One of the worst teachers I've ever had. can't tell when he's joking(does often) and when he's not. harsh grader(make errors in sighting your own), biased, will assign a whole chapter of hmwk and trash it if one problem is missing.taking class with him is like Russian roulette, you might fail, or you might pass(who really knows?).

John needs to find a different career; teaching is obviously not his thing. He's hardly understood since it sounds like he's speaking a mix of English and African. Never cares about your situation and will be pleased to fail you. That's all.

No one here has a "problem listening" by the way. It's a fact Esenwa's dialogue is hard to understand for reasons already mentioned, and he will not let you know before hand if you're failing his class.

He is THE WORST teacher ever!!!! the worst!!! that's all I can say..

All home work is done out of class, and using the computer for Math Homework is useless. 4 Tests, 3 Projects. Homework is 10% total grade. Random extra credit. You flunk one test, its an automatic C. You do worse, well, fair well. His explanations of work on the board are puzzling. Along with the Chalk all over his chairs, lol. Get a rag!

Bad teacher hard to understand. Ask him questions and he will not know what your talking about even if it was an easy question. Do not take a class from him

he is the absolute worst teacher. There is a difference between smart people, and people who can teach. He is only smart, and that is the extent of what he can do. He should not teach ever again in his entire life.

He is HORRIBLE! Do not take him!!!!!!

It's a shame to have a person like this teaching Math. He is not encouraging or validating in any sense. He makes the course more difficult than it really is. Students are left to find teaching resources outside of the classroom. Shame on HCC for allowing this person to teach/mentor math students.

Positively the worst classroom experience I've ever had. Can't believe this man is allowed to badger students like he does. He is not interested in helping the students.

Horrible teacher. He makes you feel like an idiot. You come to class expecting to be talked down to. At one point, none of us understood what he taught and he blamed us for being the problem. I would never take this class again. My previous math classes I passed with A's and B's. I failed this class. Please, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

Not a good professor. Gets frustrated when you ask him to explain things again. Out of the 3 exams in the class, the class average was never above a 65%.

TERRIBLE TEACHER. He makes fun of you when you ask a "dumb" question, he has a negative attitude. He doesn't provide study guides or even tell you what's on the tests. He gives pop quizzes and never responds to emails. He was awful. Unless you are good at teaching yourself math and can understand it easily then go for it but otherwise, AVOID HIM!

CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HES ACCENT! IT MAKES THE CLASS SO MUCH HARDER TO LEARN!

Prof. Esenwa is a terrible professor. After reading some reviews on here, I noticed that he seems to be a good professor for higher level courses. When I took him for MATH-067 he made me feel so stupid for not knowing certain things. Prof. Esenwa, you are a teacher, have some patience for your students and do your job.

Professor Esenwa is probably one of the toughest graders out there. He takes off points for the smallest things even when you have the final answer right. I would not recommend him as a professor. I would say that he is good at explaining but other than that he isn't that great.

He has an extremely negative attitude. He shames you for asking questions. He makes you feel stupid. I dreaded going to his class because he created such a toxic environment. I had to teach myself using the ALEKS software system. He lectures the entire class and refuses to stop for anyone who doesn't understand.

He's is absolutely horrendous. His style of teaching is to jam tons of information at you at once aggressively and if you don't understand he will make you feel like an idiot. If you miss one thing he continues to speed past into the next subject. If you expect a reasonable human being that understands the virtue of PATIENCE don't take this man.

you will learn nothing in class, so you are expected to teach yourself everything. gives you an ungodly amount of homework which will take hours a day to finish. If you have any choice whether or not to take his class try as hard as you can to avoid taking his class.

The teacher is painful to listen to. Lectures are a week behind the online material and quizzes which make it useless information. Most of the class doesn't even show up and he questions why. Someone needs to be upfront with him about his teaching style because something needs to change. I hope I'm saving you from this class.

I took him over my fall semester and he seems like a nice guy as a person, but very difficult as a teacher. Online homework is difficult and confusing, often goes on irrelevant tangents, and the only people that did well had taken the class before. His accent isnt really a problem, but he often skips steps.

Poorest math teacher I've ever had. Rarely gave back written homework & when he did, it had either checks or x's, no explanations on how/why you got the problem wrong. Failed to address online hw questions/tailor lectures/examples to match online hw. Doesn't update gradebook. Condensing attitude. Constantly late. Avoid this man at all costs.

Cannot efficiently space out lessons. For instance, we had a unit 4 exam Tuesday and our Final on Thursday the same week, no prep was provided or final exam overview. Added 5 additional assignments within the last week of school. Promised to grade certain assignments and ignored them which will hurt your grade. Hard to reach. Poor communication.

He was rude, not prepared for class, and would call out/make fun of people for getting things wrong. Especially in a summer math class that moves so fast, it could've been such a better experience if he would have acted like he wanted us to succeed instead of fail, and not waste our time by him very slowly writing down every problem!

Don't sign up for this class. He has been bullying his students since 2003 and he does not teach the way you are supposed to teach. He hardly writes anything on the board and uses shortcuts that only he is familiar with for every section. When you get an answer wrong he sighs and stares off into the distance not encouraging his students at all.

Do not take this class, when you answer a question wrong he will remain silent or comment on your learning ability and will also make remarks towards absences asking his students why they are absent in a mean way. I'm just astounded that the head of the math department has not had a chat with him about his behavior.

He may be personally good at math, but he has no idea how to instruct students. I had to teach myself through MathLab, because I could not learn from this professor. I only earned a 'C'. He is extremely rude and disrespectful to his students and belittles them for not knowing the correct answers. Most students in my class stopped attending class.

He is one of the most difficult professors i have had. seriously does pop quizzes all the time because of students who don't attend and does not allow for make-up even if you had an emergency. he said that the only thing he would accept as an excuse was a doctors note. he makes his students feel dumb if they don't understand after the first time.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!! If you do not want to have your anxiety get sparked up, have PTSD, terrible headaches or have so much frustration.

Participation are required in his class. If none of the students give him a feedback during lecture, he'll start complaining as if he was talking to nobody without realizing that the students are actually trying to keep up with him and busy taking notes. Get ready to get blamed if you answer his question incorrectly!

My first impression was that he is very rude and if you get a question wrong he will get angry at you and tell everyone in the class that you got it wrong. He gives no reasoning on hw assignment grading and will frequently take off points with no explanation so you cannot fix them, also takes off a lot of points on tests for minor mistakes.

Firstly, this professor does not care about students who do not do well in his class. If you are not doing well in his course, he will put the blame on you instead of his teaching style. He often goes overtime with his lectures. He Randomly assigns pop quizzes, rude when asked questions, and takes off points with no feedback or explanation.

He gives no feedback on hw assignment and exams grading and will frequently take off points for minor mistakes (missed a negative), if you used different methods other than what the teaches he will take half points off even if the answer is correct. There are Matlab assignments that he will take points off if the does not understand a command.

This professor is not here to help students succeed. Hegoes out of his way to make the students that don't understand his methods of teaching feel terrible for not comprehending. He can't be asked a question, he will make fun of you and will not help you understand. Terrible management of a class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!

He is really unclear, especially with when tests will be. He'll promise to give you a week in advance notice for exams, but then he'll announce one for 2 days later, the Day we get back from thanksgiving break. Don't take him, if I didn't have his class my semester would be so much less stressful. He also gave 3-4 unannounced pop quizzes.

If you want to learn the entirety of Calc 2 on your own, this is the class for you. He has a very confusing way of teaching, and if you ask a question, you probably will not get a straightforward answer. He also has horrible time management, we had 2 exams on our finals week while also rushing through the last unit (out of 4) in 3 days.

He is very inconsistent when it comes to exams. For example we only had one exam until the last 2 weeks of a 7 week. Creating exam 3 and the final being one day apart. Also was unable to final all of the unit to be able to go onto the next level. All and all I would not take his class again if I had the choice.

Poor time management skills. If you do badly on one exam, your grade is screwed. Not to mention, we had our unit 3 exam on the last day before the finals. We never even went over the 4th unit, because we were still on Unit 3.

So bad no explanation of course material whatsoever just overall a horrible experience.

very unorganized and hard to understand
