Overall, his class was easy and chill. Do all of his homework and learn his material. Don't slack off or cheat cause he will find out. He becomes stricter at the end of the semester. There are better professors out there but you can't go wrong with choosing him. Take your time to learn, practice, and ask for help from a tutor from GCC if needed.

Took math 100 over winter semester. Just to let you know his homework is two separate things (written and mylab) just the written is about 1000 questions. Covered about 41 chapters. My lab is the online book homework which is probably more. he doesnt teach you anything you have to teach yourself. prob take over regular semester.

"You can expect to do up to six hours of homework a night. Treat it like a part-time job." No, thank you. Incredibly disrespectful to the time of his students, and progresses through the in-class material at lightning pace so don't fall behind. Hundreds of homework questions per night.

Terrible. Exams are super heavy, 5-11 sections in each chapter, with 30+ HW Q's in each. Basically study every single problem in every section of the chapter, just for the exams to have 9 questions on them. Doesn't curve. Average on exams was 50-60 and he didn't care. His study guides did not help. I dropped it at 9 weeks b/c I know I would fail.

The course was well-organized. The professor is always willing to help with questions on textbook problems. The lectures are clear and to the point. If used correctly, the study guides posted before each exam can be really helpful to ace the exams. Weekly discussion videos are very inspiring and they enrich your knowledge of different math fields.

Start strong in this class, so that in the end when youre given the final thats written by the other math heads, you can afford to take a hit. HW is heavy, but hes amazing at explaining. Honestly, once you take a professor like John Fuhrman, every other professor just pales in comparison. I took the hybrid class 10/10, sports analogies too! xD

Professor Fuhrmann is outstanding. I took his hybrid class, and it was super manageable, in my opinion. Concise lectures, fair exams where some questions are pulled directly from lecture examples/HW, etc. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to do roughly a few hours of homework a night -- give or take. If you can do that, you will do well.

He gives example problems a few days before tests and uses a few of them directly onto the test. The rest of the test questions are nothing like the practice problems and are so difficult compared to them. The class average on every test is a 50 and he doesn't do anything about it. He doesn't do a good job explaining things and I wouldn't take him.

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS He only cares about the students who are doing very good in the class. Homeworks and discussions did not count towards the grade so the grade could only go lower, so there's no point doing them. I tried asking for help and he did not help me at all. Homework was an insane amount. Nothing counted, only tests.

Lectures are clear. He's available during office hours. He grades/responds quickly. Homework may be a lot, but it helps you understand the topics & prepares you for his exams (most questions are from the book/study guides). The common final was created by the Math Department (not him), but his exams and study guides will prepare you for it.

He is a very nice guy but do not take this class if you arent good at math. So much hw it will be your life its endless. If you cannot make time to sit and hold yourself accountable to do the work & watch vids you wont do good. Wish it was a zoom he is a good teacher but take calc in person/ hybrid save yourself.

The negative reviews are 100% from people who aren't ready for this level of math. He is a very kind and caring professor who will do whatever he can to help you succeed while still obviously requiring that you learn the material because that's his job.

Prof. Fuhrmann is awesome! I took this class hybrid (lectures online, tests in person), and he gives you all the material you need to succeed! It's up to you to get the work done. Daily homework, which is great for me, it forced me to learn. Prepares you for exams, which are based on the homework. Gives extra credit randomly, awesome guy!
