I hadn't taken a math course in ten years, did poorly on the placement tests, but he did well refreshing everything I learned long ago. He does expect you to study on your own and ask questions if you don't understand.

i think he did a great job explaining things and was very clear about how to do problems. also he gave good short cuts for things.

I took him for Math 04, which was my first math while at this campus. I would not take him for anything higher than Math 04. If you ask him to clarify something, he'll do it. He's a nice guy, but his math classes are difficult. If you like Math, take him.

Always available to answer questions. Presents material in a way that is clear and easy to understand. We could use calculators and tables from the book on tests. He gives excellect review sheets. He gives easy assignments during the semester and they can help your grade if you do them.

I thought he was a good teacher.He gives great notes and plenty of examples for us to look back on, and in class assignments so that if we dont understand he can go over it with us. I would recommend him, i think he is a good teacher.

I like him, but he can teaches to fast. He is smart and knows his math. He dosent get to know his students and you can not make up test in his class. Other wise he seams like a nice person, just a fast teacher.

The material in this class can be difficult, but he explains it very well. The tests are not easy, but he give a lot of extra credit.

Im taking scribner right now. He's a really nice teacher. His teaching skills are not that great, but his class is pretty slack. Be attentive, or else you'll have trouble. All in all, if you pay attention and ask questions, youre straight. Really nice guy!

Very good teacher

Do not be discouraged by the rating this prof. has, these students do not know how to recognize a good prof. when they're taught by one; anyway, he's a good prof. he teaches it very well and clearly and will easily stop to help out with questions (even elementary ones) his tests are only tough if you do not do the hmwk nor study, I highly recommend

Great Teacher for calculus. Do homework and ask for help and you will get an easy A.

the teacher is greath, really helpful. do ur homeworks and u will get a good grade.

pretty good teacher. he is really smart and knows his math, but may move really fast but will answer any questions. and when did dismiising class early become a bad thing?

excellent teacher. taught the material well and was there if you needed any help.

I had him for college algebra at Wesleyan. He was the only professor who could get me to understand math! He grades hard and there's a lot of homework, but hey, this is college.

hes great! really clear and he will give you a challenge. i would mos def take him again for a higher level math!

As long as you pay attention, take notes, and study, you'll pass his class. He gives good notes.

a lot of people dont understand his method of teaching, but then again you have to pay attention as well. i think hes basic, but if you have the courage to ask for help, he'll guide you well..when i say courage, i mean, care enough about your grade & have the maturity to ask.

i think hes an amazing teacher. he lets u out early and makes the work really easy, im taking math three as a refresher, and im def goin to follow him in math. i like that he uses coursecompus its impossible to not get 100 on it :)

He was the best math teacher I have ever had! I hate math and really don't understand it, but he makes it very clear

BEST math teach ever! I suck at math so naturally, I dread it. Mr. Scribner though is awesome. He will explain it to me 10 times over happily until I understand. Hmwk and quizzes are all online at home (which I loved b/c I can seek more help) and tests in class match what he just taught you. Plus he is super laid back and nice.

I do not see why everyone on here thinks Mr. Scribner is so bad! He is a great teacher and a very nice guy. I took him for Calculus 2 over Summer 2013 and got a B. I highly recommend Mr. Scribner for any high level maths. Don't be intimidated by what other people are saying on here, he truly is a great professor and is willing to help you.

I have no idea why everyone on here is saying he is condescending. I struggle with math and he explains everything so clearly and has never made people in my class feel stupid for asking questions. He is the best math teacher I've had. reasonable amount of homework and tests are not hard if you do the homework.

He's very detailed in course .As long as you do your online homework/quizzes you are good . Very approachable.

I had taken Mr. Scribner the Fall of 2014 and should be given more credit and appreciation from these reviewers. Mr. Scribner taught the class very well and was very knowledgeable of the topic. He explained everything in detail like step by step that even I could understand. Thanks very much Mr. Scribner.

He NEVER lectured for the full time we met and if you can't take notes I wouldn't recommend taking his class. He gave test reviews, partial credit on tests, and a lot of chances for extra credit. If you work on homework religiously, study for the tests, and participate in class, you will pass. I felt like he went the extra mile for his students.

I hate math, but Scribner is amazing. One of the most kindest teachers, super understanding, and great at explaining. His lectures start with him explaining a method, then doing many examples. Would take for 163 but he doesnt teach

A really great teacher and will answer any questions you have to ask. He gives lots of credit for homework and if you study and do the reviews then you'll easily pass!

I am currently enrolled in MTH174 (CalcII) with Mr. Scribner and he has been more than helpful. I approached him before class on the first day and let him know up front that I took Calc I ten years ago, but that I had been reviewing on my own to prepare. He specifically makes sure that I understand what's going on and always answers my questions.

He is a great professor. Very, chill and laid back. He goes through each problem with us and if there's something we don't understand, he will break it down more and explain. Lots of homework on Pearson lab but only a few tests throughout the semester and the subject itself isn't too hard.

hes a good teacher, im just terrible at math

A great math professor! I've taken a class with him previously, I recommend him for the more advanced mathematics. Open for questions and clarification and he structures graded work well. Keep up with the workload and you should know what kind of questions you'll see on tests and quizzes. Very kind and caring professor, he is a natural in his work.

5 test overall but he drops the lowest one. If you do the homework with the topics covered in class, you will have a greater chance of a easy A. Dont wait till the end to do all the hw.

I took this class during the summer semester. There were a lot of material to go over in a short period of time. Homework was provided, but not required. After class he made himself available to answer questions regarding the homework.

Mr. Scribner was a good choice for Calculus I. He gives homework but does not collect it for grades. Grades are based on quizzes and tests. He goes over lots of examples in class where you can take good notes. He was always available after class for questions.

Only take Scribner for Calculus I if you know your algebra/trig, and have good study habits. He teaches most of what you need to know to do well on tests and quizzes. Quizzes are easy, but you need to have a clear understanding of the material if you want to get an A on the test. Showing your work matters a lot on tests.

You have to put in the work to achieve a good grade with Scribner (Calc 1). His lectures are pretty good and provide MOST of what you need to know to succeed in exams. To know all you need to know for an A's on tests, you must try/do all the homework problems. Lecture attendance is mandatory.

Professor Scribner does a great job you just have to attend, pay attention, and study. His tests are easy and multiple choice. Just attend class and pay attention. Participate in class and you will do fine. Sometimes he even asks me at the end if I think his lecture was easy to follow, as some students struggle to keep up with his pace.

(Calc I) Mr. Scribner has a very basic teaching style of explaining the lesson and working out example problems from the textbook. If you have questions either about the lesson or theory behind the lesson, he can confidently answer those questions. Partial credit is given on assessments, but getting an A is an accomplishment.

If you skip class you definitely will not pass. A ton of homework, but it is needed practice to truly learn and perform well on tests/ quizzes. Gives partial credit for the math you do correctly even if final answer is not correct. Good teacher, tough class. His overall rating is unfair in my opinion.

He is a pretty funny teacher, homework every class. VERY fast writer so you need to know your stuff, but he'll always answer your questions thoroughly. He doesn't ever respond to emails though, and if you miss class you won't know whats going on

I feel like past reviews really undermine the kind of prof Mr. Scribner is. Calc 1 was my first math course taken at a college, and it was a breeze. He does give hw after each class, and even though it is due by the end of the semester, he reminds us to finish it while the knowledge is still fresh. Study, do hw, ask questions and you'll do great!

Took Calc I this 2023 spring. seems to teach fast at the beginning of lesson But will elaborate further in next lessons. addresses questions so don't just mumble or mope in your corner. Ask questions to slow down lessons. gives extra credit work to compensate for low grades in tests. Do your hw and ask him about it. will walk you to the process.

Professor Scribner is a very respectful and kind professor. Sometimes his classes feel like information overload, but he does do a lot of examples in class. NOTES ARE A MUST (at least for writing down examples)

Professor Scribner's style of teaching is very long lectures, but he does tons of examples and goes into depth with explaining. Homework is easy as long as you're paying attention. He is willing to stay later for in class help as long as you communicate. Communicating is key with him! Notes are definitely needed.

Professor Scribner has a straightforward teaching style, but staying engaged is key. The homework is due at the end, so use unstuck ai and the textbook to keep up. With effort, you can do well in this class.

I've always struggled with math, and this was the first A I ever received in the subject, the textbook is the key, he pulls straight from it, so you always know where to look. Answers any questions thoroughly and takes the time to make sure you understand. Incredible teacher. 10/10 absolutely would take his class again.

He writes in cursive. You need to buy the textbook to access the homework. Its cheaper to buy the textbook from the website than the bookstore. You cannot have a calculator for tests or quizzes. Do your best to keep ahead of the class or up to date in homework. Have a solid understanding of Pre-Calc and Trig before taking this class.

This teacher taught the material clearly and made the class more enjoyable than most other professors I have encountered. If you put in the time to attend class, understand homework, and ask questions, you will do well in this class.
