Jon has by far been the best math teacher I've ever had. This was a 6 credit class so there was a lot of homework, but Jon gave clear and helpful tutorials for every assignment. He's also incredible nice and really wants you to succeed. He's quick to respond to questions and takes the time to help you figure things out. Really an outstanding guy.

Professor Anderson has been THE BEST math teacher I have ever had. Hands down. Really cares about his students, gives you every opportunity to earn extra points or redo your work. This class was quite a bit of work since it was a 6 credit online math class, but it was definitely doable even with a full course load.

I struggle with Math, and emailed Professor Anderson about my concern before the semester began. He was as kind and helpful then as he was through the rest of the semester. He cares about his students success deeply, responds to emails quickly and teaches in a phenomenal manner. I would take him again any-day for any class.

Jon is an awesome professor. He works with student to help them succeed. He values hard work, and encourages interactions with those in your groups. I definitely would consider taking another math class from him. He was awesome. Attendance isn't counted for a grade, but you must show up to class to learn the material. It will make your life easier.

My class was a pilot class, but Prof. Anderson was awesome! Math is not my subject by any means. More than 80% of his students who do the homework and practice quizzes, pass the class. He's upfront about what you are looking at & he's also very observant of the group projects in case someone isn't working on their stuff.

Jon was the best teacher I had this semester! He is willing to work with you and gives great feedback. He allows you to rework everything and gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. If he critiques your assignment, do what he says and you can get full credit. If you dont understand something, he will work with you one on one over Teams.

As a guy who has struggled with math for the majority of my academic career, Jon is a gem of a professor. This class was all I needed for my major so it was awesome to have a group project oriented and very easy class. He is extremely respondent (even on weekends) and is oriented on the student. You know he cares on learning and a stress-free class

Jon is hands down the best professor ever. I am terrible at math but this class made me feel like I knew what I was doing. I learned so much and actually grew to like it! The class doesn't have a TA but instead a Math Mentor and he's seriously the best. There are weekly group projects, discussions, and other assignments but it is all doable.

Professor Anderson is awesome, he really wants you to succeed! He is always willing to help when you don't understand anything. His class is SUPER easy. HOWEVER, in his class lectures he goes so fast and is not very good at explaining things in great detail. He's willing to answer questions though and help you understand the material when you need.

I was worried about the 6 credit hours, but it wasn't any more work than my 3 credit hour classes. My one complaint is the class is super group work heavy, even when it was online, and sometimes I got stuck doing a lot of the work.

While the course may seem intimidating, Dr. Anderson makes the class enjoyable, easy, and worthwhile. Find a good group, do the practice exams, and you will get an A.
