Frazier is the worst teacher ever!!! His tests are sooo stupid. If you miss a negative sign he takes off eight points!!! He's overly sarcastic and it's not funny. He told my class we're all going to fail so we should just drop now. EVEN IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT DO NOT TAKE FRAZIER!!!

I got through 3/4s of this class before I dropped it. I had F's on every test, no matter how hard I studied. He wasn't a good teacer. We had to attend chat sessions online and watch videos of him drawing out problems, which didn't exanything. He seemed not to care when you needed help. I wish I would have read these reviews before I took his class.

This teacher is really unfair. He gives you less amount of time that it would take him to do a test. Doesn't how to teach at all. Give only thirty minutes to complete a hard test of twenty questions or more, has no heart.So if your up for a teacher that will make you miserable and fill with hatred then you should take him. I hate, hate, hate him.

Without question the worst teacher at Valencia. Does not teach anything, just writes a bunch of notes on the board and expects you to teach yourself. I wrote that on a test once and he circled 'teach yourself.' You will regret taking him if you do so just avoid him. Valencia should fire him as he is a waste of space.

Just save your money because chances are you'll drop this class. 4 people finished the class I was in. For homework he gives you the answers and you do the work, If you don't show steps you get it wrong even if it is one step equation. He'll get his own homework problems on the board wrong.

Many people in this class failed his tests, so his answer was a twenty minute lecture on how preparation was vital to success. I do not disagree with some of the statements he made in his lecture, but putting material on the tests that relates to the material covered may also help.

More so, the other student had her answer wrong and was marked right. I went by the book. He made things confusing.
