took professor lucas for math 13. be prepare for tons of hw but was very helpful. great instructor.

wonderful teacher. unconventional method but it worked. easily tons of hw mostly writing concepts and examples. be prepared

A mathematics course that requires you do loads of hw?? Oh lord... what a surprise! In all seriousness, Randall is an excellent teacher. He explains everything very clearly and is readily available to answer your questions. If you pay attention to class, and do your homework you will do well in the class.

HE IS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER! The BEST CALC 1 teacher at SJCC. He actually helps u learn the material with a smile. Class isn't boring! He makes the hard stuff easy. He is extremely helpful in his office house. All you have to do is come to class, do the homework and you'll get a good grade! He is an awesome teacher.. I wish he was teaching Calc 2!

Lucas is one of the best Calc teachers at SJCC. He is so enthusiastic and easy going, it makes you want to come to class. He is very clear and very helpful. He is very approachable. I recommend anyone take him and you will not regret it. Homework load is very reasonable too. Exams are just like the quizzes. No curveballs. All in all, he is great!

He is awsome the best math theacher out there the HW isnt even mandatory he doesn't collect it and he has The answers on moodle he also keeps the class interesting by telling jokes or stories he has a great laid back hey lets make math fun attitude and hes always at the tutoring center during his office hours to help you at the tutoring center.

Randall is awesome and knows how to teach the class on how to do the material. When he helps any student out he does it with a smile and tries his very best to get you to understand the material. When you're in his class it isn't boring. He doesn't put you to sleep but makes you want to stay up and do the material. Overall BEST TEACHER EVER!!!

Make sure to do good on the tests. Because even if you do all your homework, show up everyday, you can still fail his class. I recommend going to the tutoring center for his class.

I highly recommend Lucas Randall for anyone interested in taking math 13. He is very clear and helpful, he keeps the class interesting and relates the math to everyday life. The homework is very reasonable. He puts the homework on Moodle, so you will not use your textbooks as much. His quizzes are daily but only a minimum of one problem.

Very passionate teacher. Is willing to help students and the homework is very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Very great and funny. Homework is not mandatory. Though I recommend to do some of the homework problems listed if you are not familiar or comfortable with the sections. He lectures by writing on the white board so sit up close as possible. Also your grade is based on pretty much tests and exams. But he gives out practice exams online.

He is the best Math instructor I ever had. very helpful, enthusiastic, always ready to listen to your problem deeply and answer it to the best. I took him in Precal, cal 1 and cal 2. I really miss him because I know no one can teach and be organized the way he was. I was wishing he would teach cal 3

One of the best math teachers I've had in college. His lectures are clear and posted online so you can follow along, no homework, he tells you while Lecturing what will be focused on in quiz's and tests. Very approachable and helpful.

Great Prof. His lectures are crystal clear. If you want an A in his class, Do every single HW problem assigned. Quizzes are very similar to HW problems and Exams are somewhat similar to quizzes and HW, no surprises. Quiz everyday, drops lowest 2, 4 Midterms, drops lowest 1, and a Final. Highly recommend! You wont find a better teacher for Calculus.

The Best Math teacher ever...!!

Though the lectures were long, his humor helped keep me awake despite my busy schedule. He answers questions and tries to help the student understand the concept to his best ability. Homework is optional but do it if you are not strong in the section. Don't expect a cheat sheet in tests.

He is an AMAZING teacher! I love math and make sure i get the best math teachers and he is one of those teachers Do your homework!! he gets the hardest homework problems and put them on your testquiz Go to class do hw & its a passing class Miss one class you've missed a good 3 sections GREAT lectures & clarity

He is a great teacher, not too hard. He is very helpful. Very caring and answers all questions. Assigns hw but doesn't collect it though it is important you do it because quizzes and tests are based on the problems. Started out math 21 not so well but I picked it up and he passed me with a B even though my overall grade was a 78%!

He makes the class fun. Highly recommended.

Randall was always willing to help during office hours. He lectures clearly but writes very small so sit close. The final was split into two days which was awful. Overall I did not enjoy the format of the class. All points rely on weekly quizzes and test. Every point you earn will be under pressure. Homework is not graded. Difficult exams.

Professor Randall has high expectations of his students, and gives them every opportunity to rise to the occasion. Attendance, participation and homework are mandatory. He is extremely thorough in his lectures, and makes them FUN. I went from dreading math to wanting to pursue upper level classes thanks to him.

Great Teacher, very patient, very good at explaining concepts, able to make class fun even after long lectures. I would recommend to anyone. I took his class Pass or Fail, no grade.

As long as you put in the work, you'll get the grade appropriate to your knowledge. I personally enjoyed his class and would take another course with him as the Professor.

Show up to class and do the work! Basic college stuff. He made it fun to learn and helped his students stay organize. Every class he always had something funny to share from an article he read. There's binder checks and homework checks so stay organized. His test are particle multiple choice and some written. He hands them back so you can review.

Prof. Randall is an amazing math professor. His lectures are very clear and he makes it fun! He also lets us form groups to work on practice problems. Very important that you come to class, try not to miss any. For quizzes, focus on the textbook problems. For exams, study from the exam review that he provides for every exam.

I love Maths and Randall made me love maths even more! He's passionate and interesting. He's the best Maths instructor I have ever had. I was busy so actually didn't do most of the homework assigned BUT I read, understood the lecture, and took notes carefully. Everything on the quizzes and exams appears in notes and problems solved in class.

He is awesome!

Professor Randal is chill . Show up, pay attention, take notes, do all the homework and you will get a good grade. Study the quizzes because they are very similar to the exam questions.

Great professor and I would recommend him.

He is very helpful and understanding of all situations. He is willing to help anyone. He allows 4 absences and if you go over he will work it out. Fair teacher with grading. Really easy class as long as you pay attention. Never boring!

I hated math when I started his class & complained to him so much outside of class about his class. Since going onto other math classes I realize he was an awesome professor! He is fun, straight forward, really willing to help & he wants to see you succeed. Sometimes it felt a little too regulated like a HS class, but not bad. He's a great teacher.

Professor Randall is very helpful and accessible outside of class. He is very patient to explain to you. However, he gave no extra credit and no curve. The final grade is based on what you've done in quizzes and exams. If you do all the problem in the samples, you will be fine. Work hard paid off.

Professor Randall, or just Randall, is an amazing professor. He makes learning math very fun and makes the 3 and a half hours fly by very quickly. In my class, he only assigned homework for us to practice but doesn't check. Beware of his quizzes and exams though because there have little point value so a little mistake could drop your grade :(

Took him over the summer and such a great professor -- always willing to help students who put in effort. Calculus is a hard class but he made it easier, offers an extra credit assignment at the end of the term. QUIZES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE HW PROBLEMS. TESTS ARE BASED ON QUIZES. Hw problems aren't graded but incredible helpful on exams.

Probably the best math teacher I've had - I wish there were more classes I could take with him. His teaching style is a bit more rigid/strict but IMO that's best when it comes to math. He has office hours which you should always go to if you can. He's passionate about math and teaching, sometimes goes off on tangents but never too distracting.

Very organized. Presentations are the easiest way to earn points! Pay attention to notations and study guides, so that there are no surprises in quizzes/tests. Drops one test and 2 quizzes. Love that this professor does not talk at us through boring lectures, rather guide our learning to really understand the concepts. No extra credit.

Professor Randall is great! He's entertaining and his lectures are good. The class did and presented problems on the board. There is optional homework, but the problems will appear on quizzes and tests so might as well do it. His grading is average, a little towards the lenient side if I had to choose. I had a great time in his class.

I highly respect this professor and will be taking him again for calculus 3. If you are struggling, I recommend that you go to his office hours. He really goes out of his way to help his students. Make sure you do all the homework, especially the presentation questions, because that will help you pass the class.

Prof Randall is the best math teacher I never had. I got "A" for both his math72 and math 73. His lectures were really clearly,organized and easy to understand; his quizzes were based on homework. You have to study to pass this classes, but Prof Randall defintely made these classes interesting. He is a truly inspring and caring teacher.

Best teacher at SJCC! I've taken him for Math-13, 21, and 71 and each class was great. He keeps lectures entertaining with jokes and makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on. Homework was based on the textbook. Quizzes and tests are most of your grade but as long as you show up to class and review the study guides, easy A!!!

Great professor. You can earn some extra credit on quizes. He doesnt collect HW. There was 1 midterm, 1 final and 12 quizes (one every week). He is nice and funny.

One of a few decent/good math lecturer in SJCC. Pay attention to his lecture and do homeworks. You will do well on quizzes and exams.

I took Professor Randall for math 71 and 73. I would say he is one of the best professors in SJCC. He didn't collect homework but his home works are A Must to do. He asks the problems from same concepts based on homework. He gives extra credits in quizzes and exams and he also gives partial points too.

Hes a great professor. A little nerdy but it makes the class more interesting. HE DOES NOT ALLOW NOTES OR CALCULATORS ON TESTS - NEED TO MEMORIZE FORMULAS. Homework is not required but you should do it if you want to pass. Fair grader but does not curve the grades what so ever. Make sure your good on your basics. Textbook only used for homework

He's a fantastic professor, goes over concepts very clearly with plenty of examples to increase understanding. Quiz and test problems are very similar to textbook problems, so as long as you do the homework and study, you should be fine.

Randall is great. Super approachable and have hung out with him in office hours plenty of times to review lecture material, ask questions about extra problems in textbook, and for nice small talk. His tests are very difficult. I believe I got an A because I did every problem in the textbook for every chapter we were assigned. Highly recommend him!

By far, the best math professor I have had. He is tough, but is passionate about math and he shows it while teaching. He prepares students well for upcoming classes. He is hilarious, it doesn't even feel like a class. Very understanding, especially during this covid time. Definitely recommended.

Randall is a gem among math teachers. He is a consistent, dedicated, and kind instructor. If you are having trouble in his class, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. I have taken Pre-Cal, Calc I II with him because of how much I like the way he runs his classes. This is the first rating I have ever given, only because he is that amazing. He inspired me forsure

I took Professor Randall for Math 73 in the summer semester. He was the best math professor i've taken. If you have the chance to take him for any of the calculus series, i recommend you do. Professor Randall is very specific with what he teaches, and he will show you tips and tricks in his lecture. Such as "AD-BC." He made calculus a fun subject.

Prof. Randall is energetic and hilarious. He made an intimidating subject quite fun to learn. He assigns but doesn't collect homework, but DO IT. It will prepare you very well for the graded quizzes.

Quizzes are moderately easy but the Midterm and Final Exam was very difficult. Lectures mostly deal with concepts and proofs, and not many examples so you really have to do the Webassign to get any practice or example from the videos. You have a set of problems do nearly every week that require you to apply the concepts to complete.

Lectures were very clear and intuitive, making the difficult material more bearable. He will go over the same concept multiple times if you feel lost and goes the extra mile to make class entertaining. The exams aren't easy, but he gives plenty of practice exams to help prepare and grades fairly. Overall one of the best math professors at SJCC.

Professor Randall is an excellent math professor. He is passionate about what he does and offers two breaks during class in the summer term so we don't overexert ourselves. His quizzes and tests are very doable as long as you pay attention to lectures. If you plan on taking MATH073, be on the lookout for his class! 100% worth taking!

Great teacher, but this is BY FAR the hardest class that I have EVER taken. The class is extremely fast paced, even in the semester system. Expect to be covering a lot of material everyday, and expect to be quizzed every week. Exams are also very difficult and even spending hours studying for them will not guarantee an A grade.

Hands down the best teacher I've ever had !!! SJCC is lucky to have such a great professor. Lectures are straightforward and easy to understand. He jokes around to keep students' attention. He does not allow notes or calculators for any of his classes. But he does add an extra credit question to the exams. His grading is very fair, if not generous.

Professor Randall is the type of professor I would like to be myself one day. Very enthusiastic about the material which is contagious. Very helpful during office hours and willing to answer all questions during class. Quizzes and exams are returned in a very timely manner/he is a consistent very fair grader. Lectures are v helpful- dont miss class

Wish I had Professor Randall for every math class. He is really great at explaining difficult concepts during lecture and is always willing to help during his office hours aswell. I feel like his student retention speaks for itself. Also very clear at what gets tested and very clear/fair on grading.

Great lectures, I just never paid attention but if ou do the work you'll pass. Would take again for more classes.

Tough class but he makes it understandable. Highly suggest attending his office hours if you need extra help. Has a quiz every week but questions are very similar to the homework. Study guides are provided for exams and are very helpful.

I am just lazy in his class so I get a B, but if you pay attention on his class you'll get an A easily. If you want to succeed in your career or get the knowledge this class is for you. Trust me, if you cant do well in math, you will have big trouble when transferring SJSU. Especially if you are in engineering major.

really good lectures, decently hard. very funny and interesting. worth waking up for his 8 am class.

Randall takes time to break down concepts so they are easier to understand. No calculators, notes, and not open book for tests, meaning that the tests are more towards concepts than computation. Quizzes are done routinely every week, but as long as you pay attention to the lecture, he gives hints to what will be assigned. Overall, great professor!

Course may seem fast paced, but professor ensures transparency for quizzes/exams. He doesn't directly tell you, but as you get to know him, you can tell his tale for hints. Show up on time, pay attention the lectures, and ask questions and you will succeed. If having trouble, go to his office hours. Funny professor, and also very approachable.

This professor is simple.His lecture is amazing if you focus on lecture you will learn maths.If you learn math you will get an A.If you don't pay attention on the lecture you might fail the exams are easy but you need to know maths

Do yourself a favor and take this man's class. Whoever complains about this guy has skill issues.

Amazing lectures. Weekly quizzes, but the questions are exactly like homework questions just with some numbers changed. Exams are exactly like practice exams.

Had to skip a few chapters because our class was going through the chapters slowly. He does both theory/proofs and linear algebra calculations. Since this class is 3 units, quizzes are open notebook/open internet. Exams are closed book.

Professor Randall is a great teacher. His lectures are clear and engaging, and the class is never boring. Exams are very similar to the lectures and homework, so if you study the guide and pay attention, you'll do well. Highly recommend!

Professor Lucas Randall is the best math professor I've had. His lectures are clear, engaging, and never boring. He explains concepts in a way that's easy to understand and actually makes math fun. He grades fairly and creates a positive learning environment. I started liking math because of his class. Highly recommend taking him!

LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!! He is the best professor I've ever had. If you don't take his class it will be such a LOSS. Has hw but all of it is due at the last day of the semester. Has study guides and midterms/finals are veeery alike. No calculators and quizzes every week (only 2-3 questions and all of them are from hw)

The professor tends to focus on the details in exams, quizzes, and homework, which is common in math classes. If you have previously had a math professor who did not give weekly quizzes—just exams—this class may take some time to adjust to. He can be a little sassy at times, but he is helpful to every student. 10/10 would take again.

Professor Randall is an excellent math instructor. He explains topics clearly and keeps the class engaging. His teaching style makes complex concepts easier to grasp. He grades fairly and encourages a positive learning environment. I found myself enjoying math more because of his class. Highly recommend!

Randall is such a good teacher. If you have any questions he will answer. He is there and ready to teach, the subject might be a little challenging but he will help you every step of the way. 100/10 would recommend.

Best math professor I've taken. He explains the concepts very well. His practice exams prepare you well. There is a lot of HW, but it's manageable and helpful. He always helps if you ask, especially if you show you're actually trying ot learn. Exams are medium difficulty, fair grading, and partial credit. As long as you do the work, you'll pass.

Heard high regards of this teacher; they all stand true. Overall one of my top 3 professors ever, #1 in math. Lectures are not boring, he engages the topics in a good way that helps understand it. Weekly quizzes that are 99% based on homework. 1 midterm and 1 final, 13 problem sets. Clear grading criteria. Be good to him and he'll be great to you.

Arguably the best instructor I've had in my life. He is very passionate about math, and it pays off extremely well. Randall's lectures made me genuinely enjoy math for the first time in a while, and I felt well-prepared for all of his tests/quizzes. The only downside to taking this class is that it begins at 7:45 AM, which killed my sleep schedule.
