Mr. Cade is the worst professor at PJC. I assume the positive comments about him are coming from his night class, cause the entire day class hated him. Um; does a poor job explaining the math; rants instead of teaching; always late; tests don't match the hw/practice tests.

Mr. Cade is a very poor Calculus teacher. He is not clear and a poor communicator. He is never on time for class. He is not very helpful because he can't explain things clearly.

Stay away! He really was not a good teacher at all. He shows up to class late. He often comes to class unprepared, not sure of what we did last class, or what to cover for the next class. He mumbles through lessons, speeds through, and makes it more confusing that it already is. Your entire grade comes from only 3 tests and your final.

For real i think this guy needs to step up in the communication department and try to make things clear for his students so we can learn the material and some how make it easier for us to understand what is going on in the class.
