Great teacher! He really cares about his students, only if you show interest in your grade. He does not let you settle for less, I would recommend him any time.
Demian is pretty intimidating at first. He has a buisiness approach to math, and is not at all a comforting type of teacher. I find math intimidating, he just added to my fear. Oh, and he will call you to the board.
Awesome teacher. makes sure u really know the material. whats best is that he also teaches application of math and he has a friendly personality which makes the class interesting. His test are carbon copies of his reviews, the homework and the problems he does on the board. totally recommend him!
he is a bit fast but he is always helping everyone understand he holds high expectations because he goes the x-tra mile to help you understand he is not an easy teacher but his lecture are desing in a matter that is not so difficult to comprehend.
He really is a great professor! He'll help you if yoy seek his help. About him calling you on the board that's nothing bad that's one of the ways you learn. I really recomend this professor! He loves to teach and help his students as much as possible. One of the best!
The Worst! Knowledgeable, but not a teachER. If you are enrolled in the class DROP! Take the class somewhere else. If your major is not Math, definetely DO NOT take him. Only 5 of us finished his class; 2 of us got D. Only one A;the rest Cs.! NIGHTMARE; WASTE OF TIME
He's an awesome professor to say the least. His class is challenging but math usually is. He has a charming personality and very sharp wit but more than anything, you feel that he's there for you as the student.
Best teacher I took at Cerritos. He really dedicated his time to us. Very intelligent and very professional.
Great teacher. Take him if you want to understand math.
great teacher and really cares if the student cares. Tests are same as reviews. Teaches new and easier methods to math. he makes math less complicated.
He is very easy. Every exam is like the review. He also gives extra credits. He will make calculus a lot more easier. He likes students goes to his office to ask questions. He is very nice and helpful.
AWSOME KOOL teacher, very funny personality, makes the class so much fun than any of the other teachers, tests are similar to the review so study that and do the HW ull be fine, Great teacher i totally recomend him over clark, lopez, and any math teacher on campus
My favourite professor in Cerritos. I actually only need Math 170 and 190, but I really want to take as many classes as I can with him. I will take 240 next semester! Great professor. Never miss a chance to take his class! I have no clue why some people in Cerritos said he was hard. But then if you take his course, you will know the truth.
He is the best teacher in Cerritos, his exams are not that hard like what you guys think, just study on the questions on the board you will have at least a B, he is really nice, and helpful. You will love math with him, he makes everything easy.

I completely agree with all of you but the neutral one. I like teachers that have you participate, it shows they care. Plus, he has made college algebra less stressig for me.
This guy is ****ing hard but then so i calculus. I got a C in his class but i actually learned the material as opposed to pushing paper and getting an A in this class I earned a C if u take him YOU will learn the material.

I used to love math until I had Demian. He makes even the easiest work miserable. I thought he was very strict. If you miss one part of the question on the quiz the whole thing is wrong. Very sturn and rigid.
his quizzes are hard as heck, but his tests are fairly easy. the good thing is, his tests are similar to the review sheets. memorize the review and you will get at least a B on the test. professor demian is funny, but strict. he's a math genius.. his smartness amazes me.
I believe he is the hardest math teacher, he goes very fast, i would not recommend him to anyone
I think he is the easiest and most helpful teacher. He made me actually like math. I used to hate math before taking it with him. He made math so much simple and easy for me. For those people who think he is hard they are wrong because they never actually tried. You can at least get B without evern trying if you only study his study guides.
awesome teacher. he teaches very well and make sure everyone understands the material. his exams are straight from the review worksheet he hands out, but his quizzes are hard as heck. try to get into his class if you dont understand math =p
AWSOME TEACHER. He's the best teacher I've ever had in math. His grading system is very simple and straight forward. You work hard and you know the material, you get an A or a B. If you kinda know it it's a C. If not you'll probably be dropping. The key to his class is simple, do the work that he gives you and actually learn the stuff.
He is the most straight foward instructor you will have at cerritos. makes the material at hand very clear and is extremely helpful if you seek assistance. key words to note is IF YOU SEEK his help. Exams are carbon copies of hw problems, examples done on board, quiz problems. Follows same exact order as review. Highly recommended!
One of the best on campus. He knows every thing about math. If you go to class everyday and study you will pass. Hey makes his class interesting and also challeging.
He's one of the best teacher ever, even though I am not a math major, but he make me like math a lot, he's teaching style is very clear, as long as you listen to his lecture, you will get everything, don't even bother to look the book, just do the homework. And the extra credit he offer, if you don't know how to do it, he will help you.
He is so knowledgeable with the subject he teaches, but he is so fast that the lesson cannot sink in properly. His exam is so comprehnsive. He does not skip topic. If you want to learn Calculus take his class. But you have to spend too much time solving his homeworks.
"Any Questions, Please!" Great teacher. You can tell he loves to teach. He will make sure you are ready for the next higher class by relating ideas to more advanced concepts.
He is the best professor that i have ever met! He is the best! He helps you in anything. He really care about his students!
GREAT, awesome, passionate about Math, helpful, funny. The best professor I've had at Cerritos. He might seem mean at times but if you do your work and go to his office hours you're IN. It's easy to get an A if you do all the homework, study for the quizzes (copies of problems done in class) and go to the board for E.C. Good luck!
The best mathematics teacher at Cerritos College. He can really explain a topic and help you understand it even from an application standpoint. This teacher has rekindled my love for math so much I wouldn't hestitate one second on recommending this teacher to others. It's a shame though that he's going on vacation for a couple of semesters.
He's an excelent professor. I love his teaching style and he makes the class very interesting. However, he is abit strict on gradings...
The best. If you are here to learn then he is here to teach. He gets it done in a friendly but strict way. There is nothing worse than not being ready for the next step in math and he will not let you down if you are serious about learning. His name is Kamal Demian so check there for more ratings.
he is awesome, best teacher i've ever had... One of those teachers that i'll never forget, and im know kidding... Mr Demian's class is definetely a challenge but he is always there to help you out.... in conclusion, Awesome Teacher!!!
Mr. Demian is the definitely the best. He is fun and teaches clearly. Nothing is more important to him than students asking questions. He loves it when students asks questions. He will help you all through out. Just listen to him and do the homework and you will get an A.
Cerritos College should give Damian all upper division math courses because this professor is best in pedagogy and content. He has the brain of greatest mathematicians. He is the best! I feel sorry for those math teachers of cerritos who teach higher math, yet they don't know nothing. The saying is true" Teachers are born, not made. "
He's a great teacher and you can tell he loves to help. He makes jokes and his Test review is like the actual test. He's very clear and the examples he does on the board are like the quiz too. Best math teacher I've taken at Cerritos. Pick him if you have the chance
tests come directly from quizzes. he'll sometimes go over the quiz right before you take it, so you could do well. offers extra credit if you do a problem on the board. he's a great guy, kind of mean at first... but that's just hes style.
Little bit tough w/ assignment & quize but if you get through those two you will be fine w/ all big tests & final
Mr. Demian is a great prof. he's helpul and will extend his work hours to help those who seek help...Math is generally hard...but he will break down all the problem to the point that a KID can understand...
This is a great professor, he really cares about his students and makes sure they understand. I really enjoyed the class. He's very funny and not bad to look at.
Very strict, but a good teacher. Will not movie on until you get it. Funny too! Knows what he is talking about, very smart.
Best Best Best Math Professor!I got B in class,still i feel is the best math professor.He knows what he is dong & what he is talking about.Very very helpful,he don't move forward unless every student in class understand.Thats y very less student fail in his class,coz he takecare of his students like his child.100% recomended to everyone. From, Adil
He seems passionate about his job, but makes everyone come to the chalkboard. Don't ask him too many questions cause he might make you look like an idiot. The test are very hard!
Mr. Damian was intimidating at first; but I forced myself to go to his office and get help and I found a caring, and interesting individual. Great at explaining problems and expects students to do the homework. I found myself dreaming about math all the time. I learned a lot with Mr. Damian.
THE BEST. TOUGH BUT FAIR. WILL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP YOU LEARN. BEFORE HIS CLASS I ALWAYS HAD DOUBTS ABOUTS MY MATH SKILLS, NOW I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I CAN TAKE ANYMATH CLASS. HE IS GREAT THEN LET HIS SERIOUS LOOK FOOL YOU HE IS A FUNNY AND CAREING GUY. VERY HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
the very best! if you want to do well in your next math class, he will prepare you well. he'll act mean at first but don't let that scare you off. i promise you will get the BEST instruction from him :) p.s. take advantage of the extra credit and go to the chalk board...don't be shy
Yes, he wants you to go to the board, but he never leaves you stranded there. He walks you and the class through every problem and helps you see it many ways. And - you get an extra credit point every time you get up there. I hated the thought of attending a math class after a 25 year break in school, but this experience gave me confidence
I LOVE THIS TEACHER! the best in the freaking school. His class is extremely fun, he walks you through everything. Very tough at times but very helpful. THis teacher without a doubt is flawless. i recommend this teacher to everybody. sad to say there is only one Demian but wouldnt change him for anything.
BEST TEACHER EVER! HE WORKS WELL WITH ALL STUDENTS AND HIS EXTRA CREDIT OF GOING TO THE BOARD HELPS A LOT!! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND MATH MAKE SURE TO TAKE HIM!! =]
If U want easy class and just want to skip math don't take with him. BUT if U R related to math, DO NOT MISS HIM. U have 2 options: take easy maths and regret forever due to insufficient knowledge. or take with Demian,learn the stuffs that U need in Uni. Don't be afraid of his class, U can handle easily if U study.U WILL LOVE HIM. BEST PROFESSOR
Take him! I have got to say that Math has never been my friend. After taking Damian,it gave me a better understading of it. & the whole board thing, I think is good! that way us, as the students understand what were doing instead of just copying from the board.
Damian is an excellent professor at Cerritos College. He never skip any topic that the students need to know. He has exemplary content knowledge and mastery of Mathematics. Very excellent rapport with students. Very prompt and very hardworking. He deserve an award from Cerritos for service!!!!
Very Hard to understand. He wants you to ask questions, but when you ask he makes you feel dumb. He also takes attendance.
He is a great math teacher. Yes he has an accent but its not impossible to understand him. He is a very good teacher and takes his time to make sure you learn the material. He will eventually make you go up to the board to do a problem but you will get over it the after the first time. I highly recommend this teacher!
He is very knowledgiable of his subject matter, but he goes too fast. Retention is not good if you dont follow through his HW. You have to study to pass his class.
Mr. Demian's class was the first enjoyable math class for me. He is a very very gifted teacher. He makes everything clear and simple. It's a class that you either do well or do bad. Just don't fall behind in HWs, and MASTER the study guide. How can you not ace the exams when they are exactly the same as the SGs except the numbers?
AWESOME INSTRUCTOR. HE IS VERY HELPFUL. IF YOU GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS HE WILL BE WILLING TO HELP. YOU WILL LEARN A LOT FROM HIM. HE IS FUNNY. STUDY GUIDES ARE EXACTLY LIKE HIS TESTS BUT HE CHANGES THE NUMBERS. HE IS GREAT TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE
Prof Kamal is a great teacher. Very helpful. Pay attention in class and do the homework and you should pass. Plus he's very handsom :)
He is an awsome teacher explains material thoroughly and is extremley interesting. makes math fun to learn and is not just one of those teachers who talks to the board -highly recommended!
Extremely Intelligent!!!! Great instructor!! Crystal clear if you want to learn take Demian he will make sure you understand. He does not criticize students, ?there are no dumb questions, it?s dumb not to ask?. Yes he wants you to go to the board, he believes hands on teaching method. His exam study guides are the test. HIGHLY Recommend!!!!
TAKE HIM! I have not taken math in 2 years and I am doing good in his Calc class. He is awesome, not only funny but going to class is like a big party. His study guide is the exact same thing as his test, except different numbers. DOPE PROFESSOR!!!
the exams seem to be kind of long...20 questions...are they always this long???
Very cool teacher. Moves fast and doesn't curve anything, but he gives extra credit for solving problems on the board in front of the class. He is very very helpful if you go to his office. Math is never easy, but if you have to take math 116, this is the guy.Funny guy and really cares about his students.
cool fun intelligent. everything is easy once he explains it, this coming from someone who is very bad at math. his tests are easy, his teaching methods are amazing, will definetly learn a lot
he is the hardest teacher.. exams are totalli different from study guide..if you dnt know trig good then dnt even try 2 take his class
I agree, know your trig for the exams or you are going to have trouble solving the problems, eventhou the study guide doesn't have trig. The extra credit is lame, only like 10 points total in the whole semester. No extra credit on the exams at all, exams hard...if you take him, study like it was a physics class for the exams
This semester he came in with the attitude that students are stupid, and of course students started feeling down and scoring low in exams. The end result = 8 students passed the class out of 40+
One of the Best Professor at cerritos college. His classes are challenging but if you study hard, you will do great. He is extremely helpful, Cooperative, and intelligent!! If you are science, engineering or mathematics student, then you MUST take his class...He will prepare you for higher lever mathematics and science courses.
Prof Demian is the best mathematician i have ever known. he really knows his stuff. as long as you study his reviews and do the homework the test are exactly the same. he is definitely worth takking again.
all the comments are RIGHT!He is a great guy!he's inspired me&some of my frenz.Math,science,physics&especially ENGINEERING major U MUST TAKE HIM!he is a good prof,can be fast in teaching yet willing to repeat,funny too,can be strict if u dont try hard.STUDY HARD,READ NOTES&TB 4QUIZ,4EXAM READ NOTES&TB,DO UR HW&STUDY GUIDE ARE IMPORTANT.
Took Professor Kamal for MATH 114 TWICE...his tests are really hard and tricky...yes he is a good teacher because his notes are clear and understandable..theres just something about his tests..but yes less than half his students pass he says so himself so its one of those classes you really have to focus in..no messin around
The only teacher I have ever met that doesn't make you feel the least bit uncomfortable if you don't understand. He will explain in the NICEST way, and won't let it go until you understand. I plan on taking him again, and again, and again. Awesome professor. He is totally organized and SUPER clear and helpful. If you can take him- TAKE HIM!!
he is the most helpul teacher ever!!! i have never liked math, but i actually enjoy going 2 his class. if u ask him a question he will answer it until u understand it if he sees that u care. he is always concern with the progress of his students and tries to help them as much as he can. if u struggle w/ math take his class. thanx prof. Demian :)
The best teacher for math!!!I am not a math person, but I would not have mind if I had to repeat the class if it were with him. He is funny, so intelligent, and he gives you the exam in the study guide! You have to be lazy or not try to not pass his class, he is extremely helpful. I loved his teaching and attitude, he is funny!!!!
Demian is a great math teacher! the best one i had so far Even if you are not good in math you can still get a good grade in his class. The exams are easy and straight forward if you do the study guide and study it! Explains the material clearly.. and extremely helpful if you are having trouble.Oh he also gives extra credit for going up to the boar
I took him for Math 60 and loved him so much that I built my entire schedule around his math 80 class this semester because i knew i didnt want to take anyone else. If you want to learn he WILL teach you. If people come to class and read books or think its nap time, or that theyre somehow special and he'll call them out. I LOVE his attitude <33333
Everything he teaches is crystal clear and if you still don't get it, he will help you in which EVER way possible to understand. He is so genuine and caring of his students. The review is the exam with different numbers. EC for coming to the board to do problems. HW is worth 10 pts at most. He's so SMART i wish i could keep him in my pocket! :]
Very good teacher. Makes sure his students understand the material. Recommended.
he make sure the students understand the materials. funny too
currently taking his pre-cal class. just take his class. you won't regret.
I hate math. I'm an English major. I have the most difficulties with College Algebra and falied it before, but Demian is like a god when it comes to explaining math. He is by far the best professor I've ever had on campus. Any time you don't understand something, he refuses to go on until you understand it fully. Great taecher!
He gives you study guides before the exam, and the best thing about them is that his study guides are EXACTLY the same as the test, just the numbers are different. He never gives trick questions which is awesome. Everything he goes over in class, it's on the exams. I love his class! But don't fall asleep or text. He'll kick you out right away.
He is one of my favorite teachers in Cerritos College, super helpful and always willing to help his students. He makes math so easy, you wont regret taking him. Warning he is not easy teacher you need to do the work (hw and study).
OMG! He's an awesome teacher! I kinda slacked this semester and barely passed by a hairline but that's because of me.He's a great instructor who is extremely clear & notices if you miss class.He doesn't tolerate people going in there to F off so it's great! If you're trying to bring your annoying H.S. habits into his class he will totally check u!
One of the Best prof s in Cerritos. If u want to pass Pre-Calc take him
Very great teacher explains everything hes very helpful there's a lot of homework involved but it really helps you in the quizzes and tests one of the best math professors at Cerritos
The best professor at Cerritos college! I couldn't wait to go to his class. The subject is hard for most but he explains everything to where it just, makes sense. All his test and quizzes are announced ahead of time on his syllabus and he gives out practice test which are the exact same thing! Hes always there to help and is very funny! A++
Great professor, super intelligent, really know his stuff, so well that even though he is a great professor, I think he forgets that not all of us are as intelligent as him. For exam's he will give out reviews with plenty of time to study before the actual exam. His reviews are pretty identical to the exam's just watch out for the curve balls.
Professor Demian is an intense Professor. He is super professional and does not tolerate any stupidity. He is very compasionate and does not humiliate anyone with an honest intent to learn. He gives out great study guides, but he always throws is some curve balls always. They aren't too bad. He is my favorite Math Professor at Cerritos.
Let me make this very clear: The best professor I've ever had. Period. Professor Leon does come at a close second for different reasons, but this guy is a friggin GENIUS. He has a strong passion for this course material and for his students. He is strict, but that is one of the reason I enjoyed his class. No nonsense kinda guy.
Took him for Elementary Algebra, and for the first time in life I've actually enjoyed math because of him. He motivates his students to learn, and will go the extra mile to help anyone, but he doesn't tolerate high school attitudes. There is a lot of homework involved in his class, and he gives out study guides before the exams.
Demian is a great professor. He is a no nonsense kinda guy, he is here to teach you math, and he has swag doing it. He always asks if everyone understands before he moves on. His exams are exactly like his study guides, just different numbers. So study those and you'll be good. Take this guy!
Best math teacher I've ever had. Offers extra credit if you participate in class. Doesn't continue with lecture until everyone understands it. Encourages questions. As long as you do your homework and the study guides which are exactly the same q's on the test with different numbers you will pass
Seriously the best math teacher I've ever had. Extremely helpful and shows multiple ways on how to solve a problem and asks you which way you would prefer to solve it to help you understand better. Hw is a necessity and it's only because he knows it will help you practice. Study guides are similar to tests. There are no tricks
Always willing to help.
Very helpful and doesn't allows you to easily quit. Math isn't my easiness subject but he help me understand every single step. Do your homework (some of the homework questions appear on the quiz and exam), pay attention in class, and don't fool around or else you'll see his evil side. Favorite catchphrase: "God bless T.I." and "Math is easy"
SERIOUSLY A REALLY GOOD TECHER GO TO HIS CLASS BECAUSE IF YOU MISS ONE DAY YOU WILL MISS A WHOLE SECTION NOTHING IS EASY, BUT HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. JUST ASK FOR HELP AND HE WILL HELP! DONT PLAY WITH YOUR PHONE HE DOESNT LIKE IT. HE GIVES OUT A STUDY GUIDE WHICH IS YOUR TEST HAS A REVIEW DAY FOR THE REVIEW WHICH IS THE TEST!!!! NICE TEACHER
This guy is a math wiz...i like his class...he teaches well...his tests are a duplicate of his study guides...im just upset i made a B in the class :(
Best teacher ever. I took him for all my math classes. What you read about him is true. Don't bs in his class, he has an open door policy so you can see him anytime when he's not teaching. Test are easy just do the study guide. He makes math so easy that ray Charles doesn't have to see what he's doing and can pass this class. Haha inside joke
Brilliant. Professor Kamal sets one up for success and nothing else. There are no surprises as he tells one exactly what is on the quizzes and hands out the study guide no later than 3 WEEKS before the exam. His study guides are EXACTLY like the exam, just different #'s. One has to work hard, but if one wants to get an A, it is ABSOLUTELY possible!
awsome teacher!!! always encourages you to go up to the board for extra credit especially if you dont undertsand or are shy (me) but never forces you. answers all questions students write on board. the final killed me tho :// but do homework/study && will pass
He's a sweetheart!! So very nice and really makes math easy for his students. Great professor, really takes the time to make sure everyone understands the concepts. Pay attention in class, do the hw, and you'll be fine. He's a genius when it comes to math and funny too. Highly recommended.
PROFESSOR DEMIAN IS AMAZING! Whether you love math or hate it, he lectures so that everyone can follow along. He is an amazing teacher who helps his students. He pushes for participation and wont move on in lecture until everyone gets it. I've had my share of math classes and he is definitely one of the best there is... HE LITERALLY WROTE THE BOOK!
Prof. Demian is 1 of the GREATEST Math prof. ever! I am horrible at Math, yet received a B! Just come prepared, do your HW, take notes, & Study! You should do fine. He appears a bit stern @ first, but you'll soon find out that he's pretty funny & very passionate about Math. Highly Recommended. + Your TI will be your very best friend - TRUST :)
If you are at a last resort and need to pass a required math class, have no fear Demian is here. He will literally save your life. 3 years later, I am still raving about what a wonderful teacher he is. THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I passed math114 because of him. If you failed his class, it means you literally did not try. It's impossible to fail his class.
he is the best
Professor Demian is a great professor. He is very helpful and funny. I loved his class and will be taking the next one with him also.
Mr. Damian is the BEST MATH professor I EVER HAD..... I was never good at math :( but with Mr.Damian, I've learned SO MUCH, he's super smart, I love shortcuts that we would teach us. I took 114 and 116, got A+ on both, I worked very hard though, a LOT of Homework. I Highly recommend him , he's such a great human being ... I will miss him very much!
He is ur GOD! He is super cool and very friendly. Take him if u need to pass the math class requirement for transfer. He is a life saver! But you have to STUDY?and DO all the HOMEWORK! His Study guide is very useful, and make sure to practicing the problems 5, 6 times before each quiz or exam. He covers lots of stuff in one lecture. So, go to class
Professor Demian is the MOST AMAZING math professor I've ever taken. He is so passionate about math and helps students. He is extremely friendly. I loved his math classes, I took 114 and 116, of course I worked hard to earn my A+ on both curses but IT IS POSSIBLE. I never liked math until I took one class with this man. HE IS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR!
he is really good. take notes every time and follow him, you will understand everything although i learned algebra before already. his exam is same as his review. go to study, you will get easy A. I really hope he would teach calculus in cerritos college.
Great teacher! He makes the tests exactly like the study guides, just changes the numbers. Definitely recommend him.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! He really knows his stuff and wants to see every student in the class succeed! He shows how the book explains it then shows the way he does it which is always easier, faster, and makes more sense. He is funny, gives extra credit for participation which adds up in the long run. Grades papers really fast!
he is the best , do you want to take a college algebra class in los angeles and you worried ? take it with Prof. Demian he is clear clear clear so you have only to study , he gave you a review before any the 3 tests and the final each review have the answer key ,,and it is similar to the exam %100 , i enjoyed his class a lot , i took him at summer
He is very straightforward. There are no tricks in lectures or tests. His study guides are EXACTLY like the test. He makes math easy with his teaching style. Do all the hw, try your best to get extra credit, and study the study guides and you will definitely receive an A :D passed 114 with A and 116 with B all Cuhs I slacked off : I recommend !!!
He is honestly an amazing teacher. Don't be afraid to ask question because he will help you if you are struggling and take the time to learn the material. Go to his office hours if you really need the help. He is very patient. WARNING: He will kick you out of class if you are on your phone or being disruptive.
He is a wonderful human being. Super patient and knows his material well. I wish he was teaching math 116 next semester :( his test are just like the study guide so STUDY the study guide. Make sure to participate in class, you get extra credit points(
He is a very great professor. I suck at math, I basically barely made it through all my pervious math classes. However, after taking his math class my grades got so much better. He is a very helpful professor, he explains very throughly. His exams are very manageable and is identical to the review that he gives. He just change the numbers.
He is the best math teacher I have had at Cerritos. He is clear and does not move on until you know what is going on. I read a comment prior to mine that said "He treats you like children" . True but only if you are acting like a child. This is college not high school. Show up, don't talk out of turn, keep your phone silent and you will be good.
Demian really cares about his students!! Before every exam he would have a supplemental instruction and answer all of your questions! I went to his office hours a lot. He would give you so many examples until you understood it. I would take him again!!
Makes class super easy and gives you shortcuts. His tests are exactly like the study guide. He is honestly so amazing. If you need anything he's always there to assist and clarify. Would take any class of his that I need. I started off as a D and by the second exam I brought it up to a B. End of the semester A with the extra credit.
He is an amazing professor and explains everything so perfect. If you get stuck on a question or during the lecture he will go over with you until you understand. Patience is the key. All the reviews are exactly as the exams. Gives extra credit points if you go up to the board(which helps a lot especially you didn't do so hot in a quiz).
This guy is an amazing professor. He will always ask students if they have any question. He gives good amount of hw, a little too much for my taste. But, my excuse for getting a B in this class was because I was overcrowded by my other classes. But if youre ready to do the work study the study guide which is exactly like the test you will get the A
Inconsiderate.
Demain is a great teacher, he actually made math fun. His test are just like the study guides. The hw is easy points. Demain was one of the best math teachers I've ever had.
Not very helpful is my main concern, other than that his test are kinda hard.
I friggin love this guy. His exams are straightforward, and his lectures are very helpful. Pretty tough class, but it is precalc. Taking him for calc i because I loved his precalc class.
If you actually try, he'll respect you even more. He encourages asking questions and participation. Don't be afraid to ask him for help. He gives study guides for the exams. If you do the HW and the study guides before the exams, you should pass with an A. Overall, best math professor I've ever had
My only concern is that he really does not help out students. He makes you feel like your dumb when you ask a question, which caused me not to ask questions during class. His exam are "straightfoward", but if you don't have it in the EXACT format, then the whole question is wrong, even if you do try to prove your case he won't accept it.
Understanding the math well he's teaching isn't hard. Said my Calculator I've used for all my previous classes was not allowed in his class and he would provide a Calculator he would allow, but only did it for one test. Don't believe in everything he says he'll do for you.
he gives a review that is exactly like the test but different numbers as well as the final
This class was HARD! If u r not a math major or super awesome @ it DONT TAKE HIM I'm decent at math but this class pushed me so hard, the study guide are way to easy & test / quizzes really HARD. Even though he is helpful it didnt help. I did every thing humanly possible to pass - study, success center on weekends, homework, all-nighters DIDNT WK
He lectures extremely fast. I couldn't keep up and I normally do pretty well in math courses. It seems like because he knows the material so well he just spits it out and moves along. he doesn't take time or go into detail.
I have so much LOVE for Demian. He is a great professor. His lectures, study guides, quizzes and exams are very straightforward. He does such a great job in preparing you. I grew to love Math because of him. You must work for a good grade, he is a slightly tough grader.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! He really is a genius !!! People say that Math 114 is hard but he made is so easy and so understandable. The study guide is exactly like the test and it helps a lot! If you go up to the board he gives extra credit. Amazing. Praying that i can take him for Math 116. He's retiring soon though /:
AMAZING! Wow his class was great, I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. He gives extra credit and his study guides are like the quizzes and exams ! He is a true math genius!!!
What a college professor is supposed to be. Focused, intense, but still a sense of humor. Warns you of the traps, tells the easier ways, teaches the whole thing. English not the best but not so hard to understand. Great study guides that match the test. Too bad he retires soon.
He is a true math genius. He Has a short cuts for every problem. Exams are similar to the reviews. It's very hard to fail his class. If you do bad on the exams, his final will save you. Go to his office hours, he will help you. And yes, Math is Beautiful, and he made math beautiful. MUST TAKE ONE OF THE BEST MATH TEACHER OF CERRITOS COLLEGE.
By far the Best Math Teacher at Cerritos College.. He is a very caring man if he notices a student is struggling I noticed he tries to focus more on their attention. He knows what he is teaching and tries to make it as easy someone can learn. He is a funny man just Stay Off your phone and you will be fine. He is definetly a quality Professor
He is a quality college professor. His study guides are a must do if you want to do really well on the exam. Do study groups at the math center with white boards with your classmates if you guys want to pass together and make friends. TIP: The book can be used for reference at the Cerritos Library, just take pictures. (helpful) / Highly Recommend!
Professor Demian is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He is funny, gives study guides, and makes math super easy and understandable.
I LOVE DEMIAN! He is just the best professor. Very sweet, funny, and memorable.
Best Professor of Mathematics I've ever had. I am sad this was his last semester teaching. I could only wish I would have taken him before. I hope he enjoys his retirement!!
Its a real shame that hes retiring. Demian is hands down the best math professor i've had. I really wish he could stick around for another year. Professor Demian, if you're reading this, thank you for a great semester!
Professor Demian is the best Math Professor i ever had, in fact I did not like Math, but i really enjoyed the course, he made it very understandable, easy , and gave a lot of extra credit opportunities . Too bad he is retiring this year, very caring professor.
Best professor at Cerritos College; he is definitely gifted. Shouldn't retire; the college lost a great asset.
