Takes time to teach and doesn't mind answering questions. Gives practice tests that are similar to the quizzes (so study them). As long as you pay attention and participate in his class it will be easier to learn the math. Gives homework on each section but hes looking for effort.

Prof Rodrigues is the best math professor I have taken at PBSC. Attendance is not a big deal but you will get lost if you miss a class. He completely prepares you for his exams and also gives you a practice test that is the exact same thing as the actual test. Homework helps your grade a lot but it is SO much and does not help prepare for the exams

It doesnt matter whether or not you're a math whiz, his class and lectures are so simple to understand, and if for whatever reason you dont get it; he will help you outside of class ( without making you feel dumb).

He loves his job. His lectures are fast paced, so most of the time I had to go over the material at home and really study. Lots of HW. BUT he gives practice tests which are VERY helpful. If you really practice and go over the practice tests YOU WILL PASS (only changes the numbers). Don't expect to pass without effort, is a heavy class but YOU CAN.
