Not only did he ask us for a picture the first day of school, but all semester he has been completely useless as a teacher. His standard response of "ask the tutors at the Seminoles campus" got old real fast. I don't like him and I wouldn't recommend his class to my worst enemy.

Very "UNHELPFUL". doesn't really care for students who tries hard. very hard on giving curving grades. His final exam is 50% of the overall grade, which is ridiculous. most instructors final exam grade range is usually in the 30% range of the overall grade. Would NOT recommend.

Personally, I had a hard time with the class. He himself is very relaxed regarding attendance and was pretty efficent in getting to the emails that I sent. However, he scores really low in terms of explaining the problems, and at times his answers made it worse ! I would not recommend for someone who has difficulty in math. not a bad guy overall

I loved how the course was set up. Very user friendly and helps you pass! Uses MyMathLab and it is required to pass the course. A lot of homework! Since with an online math class you kind of teach your self, the math homework can take a long time to do. Tests are pretty intense and almost require the entire time.

The only way you won't pass his class is by not trying. You can tell that he cares and wants to help students that are trying to pass. He seems like a really nice guy and I found that the lectures were really easy to understand. It made a subject that can be difficult very easy to digest and I'm really grateful for that.

Skip class? You won't pass.

I took Intermediate Algebra with Dr. Billiris over the summer and had no problems with his class. He is very kind and is more than happy to answer any questions you may have. All of the work was in MyMathLab besides the heavily weighted final exam, which is exactly like the review on MyCourses.

This was the fourth time taking it the first time passing Mr. B gets all the credit for that in my book! He explains things in a remarkable way that no other professor has ever been able to with me! Communication is def. the key

Theres always a way to explain some thing in the way that somebody can understand you, & Dr.B has the gift to figure out the way you understand!

Hands down the best math instructor. He does not crowd your head with boring math formulas, but rather shows you how to get the answer in the easiest way. If you don't understand a certain way, he can explain it differently until you understand. I took his class LIVE online and have signed up for his College Algebra course as well. Highly recommend

I was forced by surprise to take 2 mandatory math classes out of nowhere, so the situation sucked but I am so happy to be a part of Dr. B's class!! Even online I could always tell he was caring, helpful, honest and was always sending encouragement to motivate us. The math is there but with the right support it made a huge difference! He rocks!

I was a dual-enrolled when I took the online version of MAC 1105. In this class, Prof. Billiris explained all the mathematical concepts clearly. While he lectured, he demonstrate how equations would be solved by doing them himself. The class will be very easy for those who are willing to work hard.

Professor Billiris was a very good professor, I am about as bad as you can get with math and I ended up passing the class even with skipping a few days when I shouldn't have. I'd imagine if I put more effort into the class my grade would've been even better. Concepts I would have never understood were made simple by this professor. 100% recommend.

At first I was concerned about taking a liveonline 8 week math class over the summer because I am NOT a math wizz but I saw he had good ratings so I took a chance. Take Him! He will go over it as many times as needed, shows he really cares about what hes teaching. Must take if possible

All work done on MathLab and a few lecture videos. Some weeks had more work than others, ex. 150 problems in the learning plans. 8-12 problems for weekly homework, 3 attempts on quizzes, a few (2 or 3) multiple chapter tests. No midterm, honorlocked final. Dr. B opened class 2 weeks early, sent emails, and always there to help. Really nice!!

I took this class as an online class with live online lectures. I have always struggled with math and entered the first class nervous, but Dr. B. puts his class at ease on day one and encourages asking questions. If any student feels uncomfortable asking questions in class, Dr. B. will pull the student into a side room on Zoom.
