Funny teacher, he always had us laughing, he lets u use a cheat sheet for tests, just dont do other work in his class, he walked out one day a girl was doing something with her check book
Mr. Hemlow is an excellent teacher that cares about his students and their problems. He demystifies the tough matter for you.
Statistics is supposedly one of the hardest math courses there is, and Hemlow did a great job explaining everything and making things easier. He also always had the class laughing. Tests and quizzes are multiple choice and open book. Just and awesome, ni
Mr. Hemlow is an excellent math instructor. He is always happy and willing to help his students. He is usually always smiling, very happy to teach math. You can tell that he loves what he does. I highly recommend Mr. Hemlow for math, he is a Pro!
Mr. Hemlow is the greatest math instructor yet! I really enjoyed math when I was in his class and I hate math. He made it interesting and fun. If I had a professor like Mr. Hemlow all the time I might decide to become a math major!
lets u use notes & book on all tests, very helpful if u need anything.has small lil corny jokes that r great.if u arent good in math,he is the teacher to take b/c he will make it easier to learn statistics!
This class was easier than most Calculus II classes because Hemlow actually knows how to teach:)
Hemlow really knows how to teach the material well. Even though the subject-matter is hard, he makes it understandable and accessible. He is very approachable. Tests are predictable, using homework problems. He allows formula sheets and open-book.Hemlow is the best math teacher I've ever had.
Had him online. Great teacher, very informative, very fair. Awesome personality
he is polite, understanding, takes his time to explain until the subject is clear before he moves on. he is concern about how the students are doing in the class. i found the class very easy and l did very good with him. i will recommend him for a award for outstanding professor. good job and thanks
Prof. Hemlow, You are a great teacher. Keep up the good work of helping students with all this hard math work.
Easy A and great professor
Best math teacher i ever had. I hate math and this class is a breaze. Very slow, easy style of teaching...but he knows his stuff. Take this guy if you can! Great Guy.
Very easy class--his tests were right out of the homework.
horrible personality, horrible person, horrible teacher, he sucks
Great if you hate math. Easy, helps if you need it. No homework. amazing.
Great teacher and great guy. I've actually taken 3 classes with him. The Algebra Mods, and Statistics 1 and 2. He's very easy going and wont over load you with work, but if he feels taken advantage of or if too many people are falling behind, he'll kick it up a knotch.
No Comments
sucks.
math is horrible but he makes it easy... he's a little weird but you get used to him.. easy A
gives good examples that are easy to understand. a fair work load for a calc class. overall a very nice guy who makes calc a fun class.
Best teacher ever! Funny and sexy...Tests are multiple choice so even if you don't know a thing about math you can guess and do well. Nice and helpful but he can be stern if he's in a bad mood. Definitely take him!
The best math teacher I ever had. He is extremely helpful, and wants everyone to do well in the class, and he is also open to any suggestion for improving the class.
Prof. Hemlow is great. He actually wants you to succeed in his class. He is clear and makes sure that everyone understands what he is doing before moving on to a new subject. He knows that math is hard and will explain it to you in a way that you will understand.
best teacher ever
best teacher ever, needs to be in class more, never really at class
very easy to pass his class, curves everything possible to get everyone to pass that tries really hard like myself, students like to abuse the fact that u don't ever have to come to class cause notes are on the web, you don't need a book cause u don't have to do homework, labs are extra credit, DOES NOT GIVE WORD PROBLEMS! which is why i passed mod
Hilarious, and very good teacher. Makes sure everyone understands, and doesn't mind explaining things over and over. I took him for Stats I and again for Pre-Calc I and II, best math teacher i'v had.
H eis an excellent teacher. I recomment him for those that really need a teacher that would go step by step. He is fun that you enjoy learning with him.
I attended 2 lectures and about 5 lab periods, didn't take the final and passed with a B. He had a rough semester with about one class canceled a week. As a result, most of the grades were curved severely or automatic 100s. He's a good guy with deep understanding of his subject, but he needs to compose himself a bit and make class easier to follow.
nicest guy in the world, but you dont HAVE to come to class... but he knows who does and come the end of the year he will help those who do go to his classes
I had him for Calc I and he was AWESOME. I failed all of the tests and still passed the class. Also took him for Statistics I online--I completely forgot I was taking this online class and never did any of the work or the final and I got an A. I don't know how the hell that happened, but he's otherwise an awesome guy.
This is the nicest professor you will ever meet. He will care about you and help you every step of the way. He is extremely easy though and you may have a hard time understanding future math classes where the teacher isn't so easy.
Yea he is easy, but he really is a good teacher he makes so easy for you to understand and gives you shortcuts. Most people take advantage of his easiness. Easy labs, Multiple choice tests. Attendance not mandatory. Very clear and easy to understand would take him as much as I could. Will help you in any way. Overall, great guy
One of the best, if not the best, teachers at the college. Hemlow is the man, and he is extremely helpful in his notes. Gives you time to do practice tests before the actually test, and grades extremely fairly (though it's all scantron). Excellent teacher besides all that, brings a good atmosphere into the room.
this is the coolest prof u will ever meet at RVCC...he is a nice guy and will help you get an A+ if u want it..and the best thing is tht he will let u use the calculator and his tests are multiple choice questions...definitely recommend him for any math class...
i took Hemlow for stats as well as calc. he is a great professor and really knows how to get the material across to the students. he is very clear when he gives a lecture and answers all questions and is overall very helpful. i reccommend taking him for any math class, okidokey? =P
All-in-all, and excellent prof. Very clear in lectures and always willing to give you extra help. Very kind person as well! Highly recommended!!
One of best professors! Very clear with the material and very helpful. I highly reccomend him to anyone who has difficulty with mathematics.
by far one of the best math teachers i had in school. very clear in teaching the material, speaks english, and helps those who have questions. take him
the best teacher ever...you dont wanna miss him...he will bend over backwards to help you...gives you the answer to the test as well if you dont know it on the day of the test....got A+ for both calc 1 and 2 over the summer in 3 months....dont even say anything bad abt him...big bro is watching....seriously...the best Hemlow is here on the campus..
Hemlow is the absolute best math teacher at RV. He teaches the material in a way that is so easy to understand, and he is funny as ever! Gives practice tests that are nearly identical to the tests and is willing to help when ever needed. I actually enjoyed taking his class, and I don't like math at all.
The best! I suck in math and yet I passed statistic! What?! No, honestly if you try your best, there's no way in failing. He's very helpful and gives practice tests that are similar to tests. He makes math easy to understand. I def reccomend him.
Professor Henlow is the best teacher and knows how to motivate his students to want to be their personal best. He is helpful and professional. He's the best looking teacher at the whole school.
Professor Hemlow is such a great teacher...no one should take for granted how good he is. He explains everything so well,and really wants you to do well. He is very helpful, and just very nice and funny.
Extremely good teacher, he made Statistics so easy to understand. And he let the class out usually about 30 minutes early everyday. He assigns homework, but he never checks it so I never did it. And he gives practice test right before the actual test so that you can get everything right. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. Oh yeah, and he's so funny :)
Definitely Recommended! Extremely Fair! I was scared to take Stats but he makes it possible to pass. Took online course and got a B+ but if you are more of a visual learner take in classroom. Prof. Hemlow Rocks! Take him for all your math that way you can pass and learn something at the same time!
Labs easy and tests were hard the retake tests were easy but the final was hard and the final counts for 45% of your final grade if your not good at taking tests dont take him.
he makes test really hard.
he is a good professor and teach studests to understand the material and also helpful
Had him for Stat 2 online. Wonderful. Let's you use graphing calculators on tests which is REALLY helpful if you know what I mean. Tests were easy so long as you reviewed. He's gives test re-takes and drops your lowest test score. Shouldn't be a problem to do well in this class with him. Top choice.
Great Professor! He's been one of the best professor I've ever taken in RVCC. He's extremely helpful and will drop the lowest test grade. He will also give you practice tests which will give you an idea what's on the test. He's a really nice guy and will help you if you need it.
I am taking stats online with this professor and it is the worst experience I have ever had. He does not give us appropriate instructions. He gives us incorrect information. He didn't contact us for the first week. I have no idea what to expect for the first test. The software that comes with the book,he says he doesn't use it.VERY DISAPPOINTE
Best teacher I've ever had! Explains things clearly and easily. Is kind and understanding. I would definitely want him as a teacher again!
GREAT PROFESSOR. I will be taking him for STAT II. He is super chill and lets you out in 45 minutes but if you need help you can stay longer. He explains things in easy terms to understand. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!
Professor Hemlow is an amazing statistics teacher. He takes his time with you and makes sure that the material is understood. He is more than flexible and wants you to succeed. Definitely take him. He is awesome!
Compared to other teachers, he's the best one in the Math Department. He is known for his "easy" tests. The only one you should be aware of is the Probability Test. Otherwise, all of his tests are pretty easy, because of the practice tests. As long as you study the practice tests, you're set to go on acing the class. He's very chill and laid-back
Great math teacher! Makes the material very clear and easy to understand. Also allows you to use a formula card on the tests - which is a huge help. I was worried since I sometimes have trouble with math, but stats was actually pretty easy. Also he is a very nice person.
Best math teacher at RV. He is the most helpful and caring guy. I had him for stat, but he even helped me my calc after class. he is a great guy, funny, and makes everything really clear.
worst teacher i have ever had in my life. labs are easy, tests are impossible. doesnt explain things well, shows up late to class. he is very unfair.
worst professor ive had at rvcc. labs are easy, his example on the board are easy. TEST ARE IMPOSSIBLE. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
Cannot say enough good about Lance. Emails you about anything you should know, responds quickly, beyond clear with instruction, and comfortable to approach for issues. Made Mathematics fun again for me. I only wish he was my teacher for every math I've ever taken. An absolutely amazing teacher.
He's a nice guy, but is a bit too relaxed and uninvolved with the class. The in class work is very easy but it does not prepare you for the tests whatsoever. The tests are very challenging, so be prepared to do some serious studying and try to get as much extra help as possible.
The people below me must be lazy-Professor Hemlow isthe best math teacher i have ever had. he drops the lowest test if you do your hw and the lowest lab if you show up. he teaches in a way that is easy to understand. he is always there to help students, makes everything very clear. practice test is exact set up as acutal test. HIGHY RECOMENDED!
He is pretty uninvolved with the class. The in-class work is very easy, but it does not even remotely prepare you for tests even if you do it all correctly. Homework is optional but do it to understand the material or you will fail the tests. Keep in mind this is a Calculus course. His other courses might be easy, but Calc with him is not.
Very unattached. All you do is read the book, do homework and take tests that are not what you learned. The book he uses is AWFUL. It is basically useless. I am decent in math and have gotten an A I college Algebra and Precalc. I got a B in this class. Only good thing is that he drops the lowest grade.
I really enjoyed his class. I took his honors precalculus course and never got below an A on an assignment so far. highly recommend him. Godd teach. Good pace. Clear explanations. All around great guy!
Very clear explanations, very nice and helpful if you don't get it. Funny as well. Classes with him are always a high point to my day. Tests are easy if you're paying attention and following along in class. HW not required
Prof. Hemlow is the best. He's so easy going but it also very clear when teaching stats. He creates ways to remember how to do the problems and very easy to approach. Homework is extra credit and he doesn't take attendance. He cancelled class probably 3 or 4 times but it didn't interfere with us learning the material. I highly recommend him.
Awesome teacher, will help when needed, lenient about due dates, and wants his students to do well.
he's really nice and funny. id recommend him. the only thing is that his lessons are just note taking and then he lets the class go---you never actually practice problems yourself in class, so i found that a lot of the time id have to reteach myself the stuff before the test
He was a great teacher. I had him last year and he helped me personally the whole semester. He really cares if you understand the material. He is pretty funny, but he's very dedicated to his lessons. I would love to take another one of his classes.
Hes a great teacher. Took for precal 2. He curved the class grade I would have got a D. But thats only because I didn't attend class. If you do you will understand everything. Don't really need the text because his notes are very thorougher and he post them online.
Prof Hemlow was a very nice and interesting guy. Every class was easy, material was taught clearly, all assignments are done thru webstudy so you don't have to do mymathlab. Although all the tests have questions from the HW, there are some confusing questions on there. Makes it easy for you to pass, but if exams aren't for you, I would not take.
Really helpful, the tests follow the lectures
Nice Professor, but if you really want help, you won't find it in class, however he is great during office hours! Lectures are brief, kind of on your own. No Partial credit on exams and though his tests are usually easy, he will not at all prepare you for the final (worth 25% of the grade).
He is just so bad, do not take him, you wont learn a thing. First, he will give a half hour lecture (which is one equation and two exercises from the book) and the rest of the time he will give exercises to do by yourselves and if you dont wish to do them you can get up and leave. Second, test are easy, final exam not his questions.
I love professor Hemlow!!!!!! He is so nice!!! This Fall semester we had a teacher that was so terrible and people complained so our math teachers got switched! He is an angel from heaven! I would have failed math with the other teacher for intermediate algebra but with Mr. Hemlow, I am getting A's on the tests! He is neat and organized! I 3 him!
Prof. Hemlow is a very nice but as a professor he sucks. I didn't learn a thing which is pretty sad because I have to take more stats and wont be ready. He cancels class all the time, gives a review day before every exam (4) optional, nobody goes & put HW on web-study the day before exam. If you have to learn stats don't take him! Eassy A
No need for textbook. attendance is optional and the most of all is that he is easy and clear.
Prof Hemlow's classes never last more than 1/2 hr. and we missed 8 classes (optional reviews and him calling in sick). Hi is very easy in class but test are though and he doesn't teach enough or makes you practice at all in class. If you really want to learn don't take him.
Absolutely loved his lectures! He goes straight to the point and organizes the material in a way that is very easy to understand and apply! I hope that i'll take one of his other classes in the future.
Professor Hemlow might be a nice guy and an easy grader, but he is by no means a good teacher. I think he missed something like 10 lectures throughout the semester, and would only lecture for a hour max per day. I don't even think we covered half of what we were supposed to cover. No sense of urgency whatsoever.
His class is an absolute joke. Lectures are half an hour at best and he only goes over easy examples. Tests are way harder than anything he gives out. Dont take him if you want to learn or pass with a decent grade.
You will just not learn anything from this guy
great prof, funny and really nice, also understanding and flexible. 9/10
He is a nice guy but his class was too easy. He teaches the material for like 1 hour and then he tells us to work on the labs. His exams were also too easy. He also skips anything that isn't on the final exam of the department. If you really want to improve your gpa, take him but if you want to actually learn some calculus avoid him.
I took an online course with him as I needed a math to graduate. I havent taken a math in 6 years and without learning/understanding a thing I have a 96. His midterm and final study guides/answer keys to his online course are exact photocopies of the tests. Not one to take if you want to learn math, but good if you just need to get by to graduate.
Best teacher I've ever had and made all the topics very clear!! Teachers in high school were terrible and he was able to clear everything up! Would 100% take again
Prof Hemlow is by far one of the best professors i have EVER had. He is knowledgeable--very helpful and def knows his stuff. I will recommend everyone to take him.
Professor Hemlow has been one of my favorite math professors. He is very clear as to what is expected, and teaches to simplify difficult concepts. He is very caring of students, and open to working with you. He has handled the pandemic flawlessly, going out of his way to help everyone in the class. Amazing guy.
Professor Hemlow is probably one of the best teachers in the Math department. He cares about his students a lot, and he definitely knows his stuff. He made Calculus 1 class 10 times easier. He handled the transition from in-class to remote sync amazingly. He always checks on his students to see how they are doing. I definitely recommend taking him!
Great Calc 2 Professor, had him for the summer semester online. Class is pretty fast-moving, but the workload is manageable. Compared to other professors his MyMathLab homework is more reasonable, 5-6 problems per lesson versus some teachers who give like 20.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Prof. Hemlow. Respectable, kind, funny, just a good guy overall. When it comes to teaching though, it is a huge difference. His class is far too easy. I am going to have to reteach myself a lot of the stuff because the examples and homework are just too easy. Take if you need to pass, avoid if you want to learn.
Hemlow is the sweetest professor, He cares about his students and is understanding and makes the class really enjoyable, please take a class with him !! ( he also makes fun jokes :) )
good stats professor, the material for stats was well explained. If you review the labs, review the notes and make the effort to understand the material you will do on the tests.
Professor Hemlow was awesome. If you give the effort, you will pass the class. I recommend Hemlow to anyone.
He is a cute oldish man that is very happy to help if you have questions. The exams are relatively easy but get harder and harder as the class goes on. Very helpful in office hours and really wants his students to understand the material as best as he can. Cracks jokes all of class.
Kind man, but I would advise avoiding his online classes. He was never in his office hours when he said he would be, reached out to class maybe 5 times through the semester, and did not grade anything other than the 3 of the 4 exams and the few assignments Canvas could auto-grade. Do NOT take this class if you want to learn, only for an easy A.
Professor Hemlow was a good professor overall but for an online course, I suggest you take it in person. You are teaching yourself and you submit the hw whenever you want, its all due at the end of the semester. Very understanding professor.
Amazing professor. I believe this was his final year teaching, but I am very glad to have had the opportunity to have Professor Hemlow as one of my professors. Really helped me through Calculus 2 and was overall a very down to earth and caring professor.
