Easy Class, explains things clear, one of the best teacher i had.
No Comments
Outstanding instructor.
He used focused powerpoints to convey material in an extremely clear and organized manner. He is willing to make himself available as well. Hes also got a great sense of humor, while still staying focused. It doesnt get any better. If your starting from scratch, he is a great way to start.
Pro. Wallace is great. He takes time w/students to make sure we comprehend the material. I recommend him to everyone who struggles with math.
I actually enjoyed math for the first time in years!
He knows everything about math, and expects you to know too, I am in the class for a reason. He starts a new chpt before you even test on the current one!
Wallace Rocks!! He always answers your questions and stays with you until you understand. Thanks
John is a great teacher. He is very helpful, not that I really needed his help more than once because he does explain things pretty thorough. Hes a cool guy and I loved coming to his class.
He was no help. If you really need help with math he is not the teacher you want. He tells you to find it on his web page.
great prof...wish he taught mat 102
i absolutely LOVED his class.he was VERY VERY thorogh and never stopped until the person askin the question understood what was being said.he went through every possible option 2 help them understand.he has a website that he designed geared 2 help u while ur at home 2 hear him again and how he explained it in class incase you forgot how he said it.
first math teacher i've ever had to help me understand math the first time its explained. wish he taught 102.
Professional; yet, very laid back & approachable! His knowledge and experiences with the subject added so much to the learning experience in this class. He ALWAYS had a way of maintaining control and respect in his classroom; with a smile on his face. By all means, try to get into his classes! I have dropped before and can finally say, I get it!
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!
He is not bad he also tries hard to be funny but he is not helpful
Mr Wallace is super smart, he makes learning easy and understandable. he made me understand math which was horrible for me . best math teacher ever trust me id u go to his u will not fail trust me. mr wallace rocks love his teaching style. easy and comperehensive class.
great teacher, l like his style of taeching, he makes easy so you can understand it. if you are straggling math take his class he is the best teacher ever. l wish he woul teach 102
Awesome teacher! Very helpful and knowledgeable! I hate math and was able to end up with an A in this online class. Highly recommend!
That one guy is lame. He is way helpful. Pretty funny too. If he wasn't his picture wouldn't be all over campus, duh! :)
John Wallace is the best math teacher on campus period. He makes math fun and understandable. He is very helpful and funny as well. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone.
taking the hybrid class was a bit confusing at first and i actually felt extremely unhappy with the class in the beginning because of some misunderstandings, but when things were figured out i found that mr wallace is a really great instructor. i would recommend him to any 031 student.
John was a great instructor!(Believe me if he can make ME understand it, he's amazing!) I wish he taught all the math classes so i wouldn't have to get used to someone else. Thanks John!
Great teacher. Knowledgeable and very helpful at any moment.
GREAT teacher! I took the online version and had no problems, mostly because everything is worked out on videos which are a HUGE help. He is always more than willing to help out if you need him and he seems like he truly cares if you are absorbing the information. TAKE HIS CLASS, you won't regret it!
I really enjoyed this web class. All of the videos were informative and helped give me an easy way to remember how to work problems.
Professor Wallace goes above and beyond to help student learn algebra. His use of technology is outstanding. He response to student questions is timely and detailed. If you think you hate math, take John's class. He will change your mind.
Like his teaching style ...he made sure u understood...if he taught more courses would definitely take his classes.
This was my second time having him as a teacher i had him for dev 030. He was very helpful made sure you understood the work i will recommand him to anyone.
Mr. Wallace was an excellent teacher. He goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. He provides several resources to make it almost impossible to not pass the class. HIGHLY recommend!
He definitely goes above and beyond to make sure that the material is understood. He's even made me an individual video just so I could understand how to do certain things. He's an amazing instructor. He can get a little excited in class and confuse me when he's talking, but he's absolutely the best professor I've ever had. Kudos , Professor!
Very helpful, always answered questions in class and made videos to help. Always goes over material before test. Great Teacher...
Mr. Wallace is a excellent teacher. He goes above and beyond to make sure the material is understood. He always reviews before test, answers questions in class. He even creates videos to assist. If he taught more courses I would definitely take his classes.
I think he explains things well and repeats it all for those who dont get it!
Mr. Wallace is a excellent teacher he makes sure that everyone has a clear understanding of the material explains it well and in a way that is similar to the way we would use it in an everyday life. his videos are very helping in the material if you are stuck and need to go back and re-cap.
Professor Wallace is a great instructor. He goes above and beyond any expectations I've had of an instructor to make sure you actually understand the material clearly before moving on. He genuinely cares about how you do in his class and in future classes. He makes a lot of helpful videos for you to watch at home also!
Professor Wallace was one of the best instructors I have ever had. He kept in constant contact with students and clearly spent a ton of time on his lesson plans. Take him -- you won't regret it!
Mr. Wallace is an excellant teacher. I would recommend him to anyone. He made an extremally hard subject for me easy to understand. I will pass this class thanks to him.
My first and best instructor. He made me think college was going to be a piece of cake, because he was so organized and his teaching style was very easy to understand. But I've since had other instructors and learned the harsh truth. Wish I could get him for my Business Math class.
#1 teacher at cscc by far. He is very helpful and always put his students at ease. his hybrid class is the best. We meet every Sat and i look fwd to it all the time. Math could not be any fun in Mr. Wallace's class. Keep up the good work and your ratings will keep spiking!!
I enjoyed taking this class, Mr.Wallace is a great instructor, he's very prompt to responding to any questions that you may have about his course. Would definitely recommend him to any student.
He was so helpful and took so much time out of his day to create videos to help students understand by far my best instructor ever!
Hands down, the best teacher at CSCC and by far the best teacher I've personally ever had. Mr. Wallace truly cares about teaching and helping students to understand what they are learning. He goes above and beyond what any average teacher does on a regular basis and isn't just teaching for a paycheck. He sets the bar high for my future professors!
His first announcement for the class was, in all caps, was that he has a VERY HIGH FAILURE RATE. Unfortunately, this was a poor way to set the tone for the quarter. He knows the material, and can explain it well enough.
Excellent professor!!! They don't get any better than this. If you care, he will help you learn because he really cares. His videos are fantastic!!!
He makes everything so easy to understand.
He made math fun and easy again... I love it... And those of you that give him a poor quality the olny resaon for that is because you suck at math and just goes to show that you are too stupid to be in college.Dont ever stop or change your teaching methods.
It was my first quarter back in school in a long time and math was never my strongest subject. He made it very deadline driven and clear what we were learning. I found myself very happy with where I was at the end of the course. Thanks.
I graduated high school 11 years ago and I didnt know what to expect considering it was the first class i had as official college student. John made everything easy to understand. He Has patience and creates a feeling of genuine care for his students.
Mr. Wallace has been incredible! I took one semester of Algebra in high school and my experience left me terrified to take this class. He is so helpful. If I don't understand something I send him the problem and he makes me a personalized video to explain it! (I am taking it online) He makes it totally understandable. Best professor ever!
Class is hard if you haven't took math in like 5 years like I did. But it was easy for others who took math last semester. Very helpful, will find helpful tutors for you.DO NOT MISS CLASS or you will be lost. Tries hard to be funny. Will ask you to email him funny videos to play before class and never play them.
Mr Wallace is a great teacher! I am okay at math, but Mr Wallace made understanding it so much easier. I ended up with only a c in the class but I know that's because my anxiety on the Final. As long as you do the work, he makes class fun and guides you on how to approach problems in more than one way.
Mr. Wallace was very helpful anytime I would need to ask questions, or clarification on anything. First math class in 10 years, but he was always quick to answer my questions and very patient and understanding even if my questions seemed silly. I would recommend this teacher to others!
Professor Wallace is an excellent instructor. Through out the whole course he responded to emails and request for help well within the 48 hours allowed. He is always willing to help and actually wants to make sure you understand the material.
John Wallace was a great instructor. I took my classes online and if I had any questions, he responded within 48 hours. The videos helped out a lot!
I took DEV115 Hybrid with John & he is incredibly helpful. I have ZERO interest in math, John made it enjoyable to show up. Responds to questions most often within 30 minutes-even on weekends. Responses are via video as he works through specific problems for you. Gives many short cuts and tips. Fantastic, helpful, funny & cares about his students.
If you want to learn math then you need to have this guy as your instructor. He answers student questions very quickly and with video solutions. He even answers questions on weekends. He created practice quizzes and midterms to help us prepare for them. Every problem on his practice materials contained video solutions. I'm very happy I had him!
Mr. Wallace is great!
Mr. Wallace is an AMAZING teacher!! He went above and beyond for us students. He made videos that were extremely helpful for his class. A great teacher to have if you haven't taking math in a while. He is very funny and keeps the class laughing with his jokes. Mr. Wallace makes practice test and quizzes like the real ones. I highly recommend him!
I had been out of school for many years to raise my children. I was very afraid of math but Mr. Wallace made it very easy to understand. He responds quickly to emails and has videos of math equations. I strongly recommend him for math courses. Good sense of humor and posts grades promptly. Did not use the textbook but Mymathlab is a must. A+++ guy!
Best math teacher ever!!!! ive always hated math and this guy made me love math. he is also a lot of fun. makes funny jokes a lot and makes class exciteing.
Mr. Wallace did an awesome job. In a lot of web classes, you don't feel the instructors presence. This is not the case with Mr. Wallace. He is very involved. He creates videos and responds very quickly to email. Seems very nice and genuinely seems to love his job. I wish he taught more math classes. I recommend him to all my friends.
John was cool I like that he made sure you understood and offered videos and his email address that he always responded to rather quickly this was my 2nd time taking this class I wish I had him the 1st time..
He is a nice teacher! But, I had to miss a couple of classes due to family emergency. I fell behind and he didn't seem to have much patience, for me to play catch up. Emergencies happen, I felt as though he could have worked with me a bit more, but his remark was "Go to Math lab".
This teacher makes me love math, he knows how to explain, and he knows how to make math class a fun place to be.
My God does this guy have patience. I cannot believe how many times he was willing to answer student questions that had just been asked--some students simply didn't listen. Excellent instructor and amazing personalized videos to help you learn the material. I hope I have him for Math 1050 and I hope the students who didn't pay attention don't.
Professor Wallace is a God send!! I have ALWAYS been TERRIBLE with math, but Professor Wallace makes it so easy to understand and now I finally "get it!" I have never had a teacher so dedicated and PATIENT! I HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone who struggles with Math. If you want to succeed Professor Wallace is the man to help you along the way!
This was Hybrid and Wallace was great, he made personal videos for my questions and also sent the class other classmates videos which was extremely helpful. I attended class on exam weeks to review and this was also extremely helpful. I have stalked to see if I could take my next course with him.
OMG...I just loved Mr. Wallace he was always there to help and also make me personal video's. He would not move on until the class fully understand. He is the best math teacher that I have ever had. Thank you Mr.Wallace
Dev. 0115 Hybrid Class taught by Mr. Wallace was my best class this semester. He is the best math teacher I have ever had. He made sure that each and everyone of us understood before moving on. I loved the personal videos he made for me when I didn't understand something and the way he teaches makes you feel like you knew math your whole life
Very good teacher!! I haven't done any math in 15 years and I got an A. He takes his time explaining the material so everyone understands it, and doesn't move on until you understand. Don't expect an A though. You have to earn it. He's willing to help you in any way you need, but he also expects that you'll put some effort into the work.
Really helpful and overall great professor. If you work hard, ask questions, and listen to him, you'll be fine. He's really good about going back to a problem or answering questions after class.
Professor Wallace is awesome! The math is hard however he really makes it easy to understand. He is also very understanding, laid back and funny! He cares about your learning experience!
TAKE HIM! This was my second time taking Mr. Wallace since I have been at Columbus State and he was just as great as he was in DEV math. He really wants his students to understand and most importantly ASK QUESTIONS if they do not. He makes class fun with his crazy little jokes. He is very laid back but also serious about his work. Fair grader.
Rude and unprofessional, would not recommend.
I found the Algebra class I took with John to be really easy. Aside from the easiness of the class I found John to be really helpful and nice. He always answered my questions. He made a lot of jokes and cares a lot about the students who actually show up and do the work. If you are looking for an easy A, this is not the teacher for you.
Mr. Wallace (John) is laid back and easy going. He worked with me on a test extension but I had to document my absence (pretty strict about this). Corny kind of funny guy but that's good because math can be boring. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and ask questions and you will pass. He answers email questions with videos which helps a ton! Highly recommend.
If you are good in math this class is ok BUT if you are not good in math, don't take this class. He makes videos so he doesn't have to help you if you need help. He'll help you in class but after that you're on your own. you could watch the videos. Which are not helpful if you need extra help. He goes through the material super fast
John was very helpful. He went above and beyond my expectations by helping me understand math. His videos were awesome. He even made math videos for me on weekends. He replied to my email within a day too. Great and funny person and a terrific instructor. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students. TAKE HIM!
Really unprofessional, calls students questions dumb and doesn't answer questions clearly at all.
Great professor with a personality. He did joke about "stupid questions" but that's just it, he was JOKING! Some people need to get a life. He did an outstanding job of explaining conecpts and totally answered questions well. If you can't learn math from him then you aren't trying.
Great instructor. He knows what he's talking about and has a good personality to match. Take him!
I put the class was easy, Math is very hard for me, but a teacher like Wallace sure makes it seem easy! I have emailed this guy at all hours of the night asking for help, he responds with emails back, attaches videos that he makes, he has his own website to help students professorwallace com Who else does that? This guy is AMAZING for a teacher
Stellar. Very smart and helpful. Friendly guy. I'm not even finished with the course and felt compelled to review him already. I'm getting an A because I'm working hard and he is helping me understand difficult concepts.
Very helpful. His videos are better than anything I've seen online. Patient, funny and extremely laid back and informal.
Math, the new black death! Or not! This guy is amazing! He goes above and beyond in everything, as he only wants complete success for all of his students. As a side note, if you think he is a mean and unreasonable person, ask yourself this: What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? TAKE HIS CLASS!! #awesomesauce
5 star Professor! Takes time to help outside of class and answered all my questions and emails promptly. Highly recommend.
Patient, easy-going, and very friendly. He takes time to explain things at the student level. Great instructor!
Very responsive to questions. Stresses important concepts really well. His videos are incredibly helpful. I didn't need the videos from the book because his are much better. He seems nice but his tone sounds like he doesn't take any crap from any students. I'm sure a lot of them try to get by with stuff. I would take him again without hesitation!
Mr. Wallace is AMAZING!! He is fair, is passionate about his students learning and make class engaging and fun with his laid back style. I was very intimidated by Math my entire life and Mr. Wallace helped me GET IT! I recommend him to every student that has to take this class or has any issues with getting math to click for them. AWESOME GUY!!!
An AMAZING teacher. He breaks down the problems into understandable information, his videos are top notch. Hands out plenty of study and practice material for exams and provides the answers online with a video on how to do the problem. I've always had a bitter taste for math classes, but this class has definitely changed my perspective.
Very good. Don't think you will just show up and pass. You work for it he is fair and impartial. I recommend this class for anyone who needs it.
Class at OUP was super hard. He will help you and he definitely wants you to succeed but the lectures are long and the homework is heavy. He is very understanding of emergencies and whatnot but don't just skip class.
Mr. Wallace deserves a raise. He explains things in a way that's easy to understand. But you have to study and ask questions. In this class you do your work on a computer. The program doesn't do a good job at explaining things but this is where Mr. Wallace shines. His reputation as being a great and caring instructor is spot-on!
Great guy and awesome teacher. Take him if you can.
I love his guy! He is HILARIOUS!! And he helps you if you get stuck.
homework was done on mymathlab. he was very patient and really wanted you to understand. I understood what was to be expected on midterms and finals.
He was amazing at sitting down with you and explaining things that you were not clear on. He was always helpful!!!! Best professor I have had yet!!!
John (He keeps it on a first name basis.) Is a fantastic teacher. It doesn't matter how DUMB the question is, he will answer it with a smile. He's always cracking jokes and really knows how make tough questions seem easy. I would suggest this professor to anyone who is a slow learner, you'll receive the attention you deserve. Does take attendance!
Answers questions very clearly and always makes sure that you understand the problem that you're asking about.
I came into DEV0114 hating math and being terrible at it. Now with finals approaching I have an 86% overall in this class. That is thanks to John. He has a great way of explaining things and being there should you have ANY questions about the material. His practice midterms stick true to the real ones. He's an outstanding professor!
I love having John as my professor. I hate math and he made it incredibly easy to understand. He is incredibly funny, and if I had to take another math class I would most definitely choose to take it with him!
Professor Wallace understands that many of us don't get it when it comes to numbers, so explains it in ways that we can understand and use the skills he is teaching us.
Professor Wallace is a class act. He got me in the middle of the boat and showed me exactly how to do what I didn't think I would ever understand. I would give him an A+...
Wow - great class and professor. The work that Prof Wallace puts into making sure we have all of the tools to pass are AMAZING!! Using Alex is great, but he also provides practice tests with an answer key and videos that explain how to do it if you still aren't getting it!! Hope to take more of his classes going forward!
Not really a good teacher. Long and boring lectures. I left more confused than I came in.
If I had Mr. Wallace my 12 years of grade school, I wouldn't be taking math in college. He percepts a clear understanding and makes the best videos to understand whatever problem you need. I wish he was the elementary algebra teacher. He was amazing.
Some people just dont understand numbers. When you have to cram 40+topics of new math in your head, it make it difficult to remember everything. His office hours are limited and are not easy for people who work full time to be able to stop in and help.
He takes his time to help you understand the material. Some of his office hours were posted for another campus. He tries to keep his lectures short so we have more time to work on worksheets and practice midterms. We had more than enough time during class to get the help we needed which helped me get ready for the midterms. Take his class!
I completed Dev. 0114 Blended Short Term Flex class and I loved it. Mr. Wallace is passionate and explains the work very well. Show up for his class everyday and the class is what it is as he explains. Will take again.
Math is not my favorite subject. Mr. John made things easy. I had this class before and the instructor constantly walked behind me. Math is hard enough without someone always being behind you. Mr. John is on a 1st name basis. He's very laid back and easy to talk to. He's is always happy to help but you need to ask for it. Nice guy!
John was one of my favorite professors. His class is the only one I never dreaded going to even when we had test.
I took this class my first semester at CState and throughout all my years of high school and college, he taught me math better than any teacher i've ever had. He posts videos on blackboard of him working out math problems that may be confusing to you while you're at home doing homework which was VERY helpful to me. 10/10 recommend this professor.
Little input is given as it was a class through an outside source. However, when we did interact, he was very good at answering questions, repeated himself when I wasn't understanding and was overall an understanding guy.
I took the online version of this course using Aleks. Instructor responds very quickly to email and even called to help me a couple of times. He made me a couple of videos also. He is definitely an involved instructors, especially given this was a web course.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful John Wallace is. He goes out of his way to make sure his students get the help they need. He cares about how well you do, so long as you care about how well you do.
Where was he? I struggled so badly with this class and assumed he would be able to answer questions - I would wait close to a week for him to answer an email, and he never answered one question I had about the work. He just sent his "office" hours, which were 3 hours a week on the other side of town during hours I had to work each week. Avoid!
I had Wallace a few years ago & I loved his class! He made my worst subject, fun to learn and easy to remember! Used a lot of analogies + jokes to make it easier for the class to stay focused & remember how to do a lot of math problems. I once had him for a math sub & was so excited to see him & ask for help since I knew he would be helpful! 10/10
Guys if you really want to pass do not take it with him if you get the chance avoid him! I do not recommend this pro
He is very picky I dont recommend him. Also, he want you to solve the problem on his way.
Helped me finished 1050 and 1075 in one semester, and made sure that all his students stayed on track, by sending us emails letting us know about our progress, and attendance. Math is not my strongest subject, but professor Wallace is very patience and would explain, and walk you through every exercise until you learn. Forever grateful.
Awful professor I would not take it again with this pro he keep sending emails and says if you dont got 4 np you will be dropped from this class and every time sending email say that there are many student getting their 3 np Guys if u get the chance dont take the class with him
I dont know why Pro Wallace let us do other hw beside the weekly goal I mean we really dont have to do I dont know what he is thinking when he gives us a hw which we do not have to do it because we already have to do the weekly goal
Definitely I would not take it with this professor if you guys had the chance take it with other and avoid this professor I do not recommend
He Helped me finish 1050, he gave me time to finish my ALEKS. Also by sending us emails letting us know what is going on and what is due next. Math is not my strongest subject, but professor Wallace is very patient and would explain he will even give his number to call, He's willing to help no matter what. Forever grateful, thank you so much
Professor Wallace was an amazing Professor who taught and guided this past Summer Semester (2020). Not only was he thorough with his grading, but also attentive and gave very good detailed feedback on work problems where corrections were needed. He is very empathetic and understanding and I would recommend anyone to take his course!
I took an online class with him, but he was straightforward and very respectful. If I could I would have this professor again.
Mr. Wallace was pretty good in his willingness to help. Have a problem? sent him an email and 30 minutes later he gives you response and time when he can meet you online and help. Good teacher.
Honestly one of the best Math Professors I've ever had. I struggled for two semesters, with other professors, trying to pass this class but through his guidance, advice, feedback and encouragement I was able to FINALLY reach my goal of completing the requirements needed to pass this class. He was even easily accessible after class hours!
Professor Wallace is one of the best math teachers I've had. Let me be frank; if you do not do the work then you will not pass. The program is set up in way where if you don't participate three times than you will be removed. You have to be an adult and be on your deadlines. That being said, he is kind, understanding, & willing to work with you!
Mr. Wallace was one of the best professors that I have ever had in my life! If I could take his class over and over I would. I have never in my life had a B in a math class before! Not only was he available after class to help out and very responsive to emails but during class he was super helpful and explained things SUPER good!
Professor Wallace was a very patience instructor that was willing to work with students before or after classroom hours. He explains and demonstrate difficult problems effectively on the board which make it easier to understand; and if you are not strong in mathematics, participation does matters, not for a grade, but for clarity.
TAKE HIS CLASS! I did not think that I could be great at math until I took Professor Wallace's class. He goes the extra mile to make sure everyone understands the math problems. There's assignments every week, but he goes over them in class. He's open to questions during class, and will stop if it does not make sense to someone.
Professor Wallace is a great math teacher. He breaks down concepts clearly and is always available for extra help. Unstuck ai was super useful for studying too. Definitely take his class if you can!
This was a really great class. It's math, and I had to really push myself to focus and learn the material, but Professor Wallace is a great teacher. He really cares and wants to help you succeed. You can tell he greatly enjoys teaching. The way he breaks the topics down helped me understand concepts that I had been struggling with on my own.
This course is set up horribly. It's all ALEKS and nothing else. The weekly assignments are useless because your grade doesn't matter. The only way to pass is to complete ALEKS and score 80% on the final exam. Unless you scored high on the pre-knowledge check, you have to basically memorize 306 topics in 3 months for the final exam to pass.
