Almost all work is done through ALEKS. There are group problems once a week. Watch the lectures he assigns if you aren't good with Math (especially Algebra 2, Geo, & basic Trig). His explanations usually make sense. Do the Practice test before every test! Don't be afraid to ask for help (even if you're good at math), he and his aides won't judge.

Beaumont was a great professor for this class! If I had any questions or concerns I could email him or go to class and he would have an answer. He did tend to make things a little over complicated sometimes for the actual math aspect so I recommend going to his IA's first:) But overall it was an easy class & actually enjoyable for it to be math ha

This professor made me so uncomfortable the entire semester. He would constantly mansplain the topics to me and reteach me the whole problem when I only asked a simple question. It is an easy course because it is through ALEKS and you have to go to class because there are group problem solving activities every week.

Not a fan of the way this class is ran. In a typical lecture, Beaumont pretty much just gives a textbook definition of a concept and then has you do examples on your own which he doesn't "reveal" the answer to, and then collects. I learned way more from 15 minute youtube videos than I did in his lectures.

He gives pop quizzes pretty much every day to mark attendance, recently he did this instead of preparing us for the test next class. I learned a lot of the concepts last year in AP stats, but with his teaching, I understand absolutely nothing. I tune him out in class and watch youtube videos because you essentially have to teach yourself everything

Would NOT recommend this teacher. I already knew most of the material so I would do the homework in class, and when I would watch him lecture... never been more confused. He gives quizzes on the stuff learned THAT DAY, and he's not even funny, it's not worth it. He said he was antisocial and hates public speaking on the first day :|

Embarrassment to ASU. Handwriting is completely illegible. Says he "gets lazy" and doesn't write out many things on notes, so reviewing is almost impossible. On day one, he said he hates talking to people. So rude/unprofessional. Gives pop quizzes almost every day (which is fine) except that he gives 0% on each one despite getting all answers right

One of the worst professors I have ever had, please do not take him. Not understanding at all, he acknowledges himself as being petty towards students, including it in his quizzes. Annoyed when you have any sort of inconvenience that shouldn't even affect him. He should not be a professor or even involved in any academic setting

The class was technically runned by the TA's since the professor only gave the announcement before the class. Everything was in ALEKS which then what was the point of going to class. Attendance was mandatory which sucked. I like math myself so it wasn't a difficult course at all. Although if you need help, it's provided by the TA's.

Genuinely don't know why this professor is rated so low. He gives clear instruction and delves into the conceptual side of problems sometimes to help you understand more. Can clearly tell he genuinely enjoys math and is a pretty lenient grader as well. Only gripe is he has pretty bad handwriting but its acceptable because he explains concepts well

I have no idea how he has anything less than a 3. He comes prepared every class with notes and practice problems. He explains things very well. On exams he is incredibly lenient and gives tons of partial credit for the frqs if you show ALL your work. Overall amazing professor and would take again!

Don't know how this class is rated so low, if you went to class and paid attention and did the homework it is not a bad class. If you don't go it would be difficult but just go to class. He asked many questions and if someone asked about something he would go in depth and help. Lots of "pop" quizzes but they were basically free credit. great class

Prof. Beaumont proved every class how much he dislikes teaching. He is extremely condescending and seems to enjoy making class work harder for students and stressing us out with unnecessary pop quizzes, over lessons that are not due for weeks. There are only 3 tests with minimal to no review time given. Be prepared to wish you dropped every lecture

This professor is hands down the worst professor I have ever had through 5 years of college. He doesn't care about his students and if anything is up to the professors discretion he makes sure its the hardest or most strict standard it can be to ensure he does less work. He is extremely lazy and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

Honestly a harder class but he goes over the material very well and he works with students where he can. I understand why his rate my professor isn't a 5 but it's just because of the harder courses he has to teach. If you pay attention to him and do your homework early (get extra credit) then the class is easy honestly.

Taken Fall A '25 through ASU Online--The lectures were straight-forward and usually 10-30 min long. Usually accompanied by extra example videos and practice questions. He uses Pearson for graded assignments, quizzes, and exams. Pearson allows you to retry assignment questions for max points. He doesn't curve or drop lowest exam.

Save yourself the trouble and don't take a class taught by this professor. He does not respond to emails in a timely manner, barely helps when he does respond and is overall rude in responses. Everything is autograded and he claims he has no time to do anything and complains when he has to respond to students.

Just don't do it to yourself. Maybe calc 1 or the business calcs he seems decent? Trust me that does not transfer over to MAT266. There's a reason he's assigned a classroom with only 30 seats.

Honestly thought this guy was pretty great, idk what y'all are on. The notes go really fast in class but due to a change in curriculum he's doing the best that he can to still go in depth and allow people to ask questions. He's pretty personable too, easy to talk to and will crack jokes in class. Really not sure why people dislike him so much.

He's passionate about math , but he's just not good teacher , he cant explain topics well and just skips through things and expects everyone to understand . I never learnt anything in his lectures only went because of pop quizzes and mandatory attendance , had to go back home and teach myself every topic.

Jonah was nice through the semester, but online 242 is odd, the lessons and learning part sucks (Bad slides, use YT), but the Edfinity HW and Exams are really nice. The HW is not lengthy and the Exams allow two attempts per questions, with the content coming from the study guide and HW's. Study using the HW and use your exam attempts sparingly!

Professor Beaumont was actually pretty good. He was really caring and he understood the material really well and taught really clearly. The course itself was kinda screwy, since they had just revamped it when I did it so it was a really quick pace, but thats not his fault. Overall, really good professor.

It's definitely doable. He's a nice guy and has a ton of office hours, and responds to emails pretty quickly. As other reviews mentioned, the course had just been revamped, so it was difficult to follow at first, but easy to get the hang of (which, of course, was not his fault). He did the best a professor could for the unfair course load.
