Would take again

Amazing Professor! I had to repeat this class and the second time I took it with him and passed. He was very helpful and offered his own time to help his students pass especially before the final.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Wouldn't take again

I took this professor my first year of college & he was by far the worst one I have ever had. He goes off topic, doesn't stick to teaching one thing, he'll help you but he won't fully explain what steps he's doing. He made us buy the workbook, we never onced used it, i struggle with math I didn't learn anything at all in his class such a waste!
