What Students Say

Professor Vinidoff is a laid-back professor

MATH11 - 5.0 rating

I took his online math class for spring summer 2017 and I have to say it was a terrible experience He used mymathlab for his online class and it was a horrible method for teaching the material I told him I was having trouble learning the material and that I needed help and he pretty much told me to go somewhere else he does not care at all
