Love this dude, it was his first year teaching so he wasn't that good in teaching in the beginning but after 3-4 weeks he really improved. His study guide was so helpful and understandable for the test which is good. I so far did 3 test got an A, D, B he really tries to help out by emails and help in his offices hours which. Funny caring awk dude

He's truly dedicated to his students. Lectures are usually clear & are supplemented with plenty of examples. Went above and beyond to ensure that we understood the content, even going so far as to sometimes conduct office hours on weekends for those who needed the extra help, usually before tests. Lots of online hw but that's standard. Great Prof!

First time teaching, yet he did very well. He's always available in office hours even on weekends, and always making sure you get the max possible points in class because he wants you to pass. However, you have to do your part, which is attending the math lab, doing the homework and quizzes, and attending Saturday reviews for tests. Very simple guy

At the beginning of the semester I was worried I made the wrong choice in professors, because it was his first time teaching a course, but as he got more accustomed to teaching and got more comfortable his lectures got better. He was always available when needed, and would explain test problems, and other problems.

Super chill professor, easy A! If you need to take this class to fulfill your credits defiantly take him!

I had him for pre-calculus and the man knows what he is doing. He understands that what helps students learn are examples of problems and thats basically all he does. Goes over pretty much every case of problem that you would see in his exams. Speaking of his exams they are fair. You need to study but he is an amazing grader.

Failed the first time I took this course, but it was completely my fault. Taking him again this semester because he is just that great! He will go out of his way and accommodate his office hours for you, even on weekends! Give all types of examples that will be on the exam. His exams are a bit hard, but if you go to office hours you will pass!

His lectures help a lot as he goes into detail and back to the basics, a lot of other pre-cal teachers don't really help as much. He's funny and really nice. He also sends reviews before each test and all those things are usually on the tests so it helps a lot.

His lectures consist of doing many example on the board and he occasionally gives out handouts for notes. There is online homework due every week. The quizzes can be taken online at home. He drops the lowest grade of each category except tests. This guy's a beast take him.

Davidson's Trig class consists of 4 exams plus a final, online homework, in class quizzes, and a couple of offline homework assignments. He teaches by going over a concept and then giving an example immediately after, which is really helpful. He gives a LOT of extra credit and is always available for his students. Would definitely recommend him.

He explains material well and clear, and is more than happy to help you during class. He always welcomes students when they ask for help during his office hours. He is a fair grader and will try to give you points for whatever you do.

Professor Davidson is great. Trigonometry is a difficult subject, but he makes it easier to understand. He gives great examples in class and is willing to go over whatever questions you have. He was willing to come in on the weekend and have an exam review to help go over any questions we still had. Very good professor!

Clearly explained every element of every chapter. HW is easy and can be redone multiple times (Hybrid Class). Attendance was supposed to be "mandatory" but he stopped taking attendance after a few classes, however, he lectures really well and explains everything. All around, one of the best math professors you will find.

Professor Davidson is a great professor! He explains the concepts simply and clearly. He also provides several examples during the lecture. He responds to emails fairly quickly and sometimes extended deadlines for me! He is very caring! Take him!

Professor Davidson is a really caring guy. The way the class is set up honestly makes it so that most of them will be the same regardless of the professor, however he is understanding and wants you to do well. Very approachable and won't make you feel dumb for any questions you ask. Would take him again if possible.

I took this professor for precal and honestly if I could take him for calc I would. He is a reasonable grader and gives a lot of points for effort work shown even if you don't get the answer right on exams. He genuinely wants you to pass his class and is very accessible outside of class. What you learn in class is exactly whats on the exams.

He explains everything clearly and if you have a question he will take his time to answer it, unlike other math teachers I've met. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, it's recommended since his lectures make it easier to understand.

He is a great professor. Took him twice for college algebra and for pre-cal. His notes are excellent and he takes the time to really explain. His tests are fair, not easy but you will learn math in his class. Study text book problems and you'll pass. Very nice and approachable. I would recommend to take any math class with him.

I started the semester with a professor , but she had an emergency and was gone for the second half of the semester. At the end, Davidson took over and all of our scores improved immediately. He dumbs everything down. He is VERY a forgiving when grading. If you do the math but get the right answer, youll still get credit.

Davidson may be shy and probably doesn't involve a lot with his students. However, his patience, kindness and help make him an amazing teacher. He will explain each exercise thoroughly even though it might get tedious until you understand it. His tests are tough, but if you study the necessary you can pass. Plus his grade curves will help you a LOT

Best math professor I've had at FIU. He gave second chances on tests and always extended deadlines for online homework and quizzes. His lectures were concise, step-by-step, and he uploaded them online, although he teaches a bit slow. He's rational and accessible outside class, as long as you're honest and display effort he will help you out.

I had him for Business Calc and honestly I loved him. He was very patient and understanding. He posted all of the notes on Canvas. There were weekly homework and quiz assignments in MyMathLab (some were very long). He always extended deadlines when it was necessary. I would 100% take him again.

Davidson is great. I took the course in hybrid form and it was easy. The university required a lot of outside work though in the form of mandatory lab time (3 hours a week and 1 hour of study session with an LA). The course itself is really easy however and he gives a lot of opportunity to bring your grade up. Do ALL the work and you'll get an A.

This professor is great! I would definitely take him again. I took business calc with him as a hybrid class and there was a lot of homework, but enough time to complete it. The class consisted of pre-classes, offline homeworks, mymathlab assignments, quizzes, 4 tests, and a final. It seems like a lot of work but he's very helpful.

He's such a sweet and caring professor, he's always available for office hours and is super patience with your questions. This is a tough math, but his lectures are really good at explaining the topic. The test questions are like the ones from the weeksheets he gives in class, so do the work. Definitely would recommend him if you find math hard.

He knows how to teach math and his notes are easy to understand. Just go to class, pay attention, and do the homework. If you have any questions he will go back and explain it to you step by step. You have to do MyLabsPlus, pre-class assignments, homework (3-4 questions each), 3 exams, and a final.

I dont understand why this professor has bad reviews. When you ask him questions in class he wants you to think and participate, he doesnt say anything rude. If you have any hw questions he is more than willing to assist any student by showing them how the problem should be completed. He is just so caring, youll learn if you put in the effort.

Great teacher

this really wasn't as bad as others described it. yes online and zooms where hard, but its hard for everyone including professors not just students. whoever failed this class it was because they didn't care, not because this professor couldn't teach. He gave plenty of help and further assistance to those who asked for it and cared for it.

Lot's of work. Lot's of work. Lot's of work. Pretty good at teaching the material, but quick to anger (someone's dog was barking in the background on zoom) and can be snarky in his email replies. Gives you the chance to skip final IF you already have an A in the class. Wish I could have given him a 3.5/5. Lots of work on Pearson Mylab.

Amazing professor but if you want an A you have to show up to class and put in all the work. During class, you do a worksheet, he and the LA's go around asking if anyone has questions. On Saturday he gives a quiz and a hw on the lessons learned. On Sunday videos about the next lesson. You can exempt his exam and he is a good grader and accessible.

Professor Davidson was very helpful. He'll work with you if you need extra help or if you want to review a test. He'll even give you more points on a test if you review with him and he sees you just made silly mistakes. I highly recommend him as a professor.

He explains the class in a way everyone can understand it easily. He gives a lot of homework weekly but it helps in understanding the material

As long as you study enough to know all the subjects you get an A easily due to free unlimited attempts and he forgives a few mistakes on assignments. The only thing he doesn't forgive is when he hands you exercises due same day and you don't do it but even this is rare and not worth much.

This is the second time I take this class and he did a really good job at teaching this course. He always goes over any questions a student has and his notes are easy to understand. The course itself is a mess but he did a great job. It consists of 3 exams and a final. Sometimes he counts attendance and theres like 4 in class quizzes overall.

Do not expect to pass class if you do not take time to study. Professor was always available and helped me with problems before the exams as well. He provides study guides and the exams were easy. Practice his problems and the documents he gives you in class. If you failed a learning goal, try to do his in class reassessment.

The professor is chill but the class itself you basically have to learn how to do it on your own. You are required to go to the Math Lab to get 1 hour 30 mins of "math" done outside of class and there are people who help u with it individually. The tests are the majority of your grade so you have to study a lot for it but there are test retakes.

He is amazing! He not only makes the material easy to understand, but he is also willing to help a lot! The tests are not hard as long as you study and pay attention in class, you should pass with an A! I would take him again and recommend him for this class.

Attendance not mandatory, but if absent you can fall behind quick. He tries his best to make topics easy to understand. He gives study guides, makes himself available outside of class & reviews some math basics during lecture. He gives many opportunities to pass this course. Only downside was the amount of homework + pre class every week

Easy class even though there was a lot of work which consisted of modules, pre class assignments, in class assignments, and homework questions. There were 4 exams + final but you are able to retake each exam another time (except the final). You can pass if you actually try and put in the effort. Davidson was chill and helped you out when needed.

Good math professor he gives good notes and isn't harsh.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER. Haven't taken a math class in years and he explained everything dilligently. There are tests every week, attendace in math lab & class are mandatory, and he offers great help. Took him over the summer so everything was more fast-paced but as long as you apply yourself this course is a breeze.

Really chill professor. I think concepts like math are near impossible to teach to a crowd where everyone learns differently. Some people in my class got everything instantly, some didn't. If you have any issues, talk to him, and he will absolutely help you until you understand.

Can be helpful sometimes, one time my friend asked for help and he said that her desk was wet and walked away. doesn't teach in class makes you do guided videos instead

Tests make up around 80% of your total grade in this class, there is around 7 total with each being around 3-6 questions. He checks the grades right after with the class for instant feedback on how you did. The tests being graded so heavily means you can skip out on many assignments and attendence grades as long as you do well on tests. Great Guy.

Hes a good prof, allows retakes and the class was not difficult, normal amount of homework for a math class, and lots of opportunities to make your grade better, actually cares about his students and answers questions genuinely, also a funny guy I would take another class with him for sure :)

Would take a class with him again. Very understanding and helpful!

This was my second time taking this course, and with this professor he helped me so much to pass the class. As long as you study for the retakes and do all your homework/extra credit, you should be able to pass. He is nice and genuinely cares for his students to understand the material.

Awesome professor! Class is structured a bit unusually with the grading style but it works. Tests can be made up. Gives two homework assignments and pre-class assignments weekly, sometimes they are lengthy but are similar to test questions. Math lab participation is required. Final exam had no weight on grade, 60 or above was needed to pass class.

Very nice and chill guy. Homework and pre-class assignments can take a while plus an hour and a half of math lab hours. He teaches well and gives good examples. Tests are easy IF you study, he gives practice tests that are the exact same as the test so use them!

Professor Davidson was a pretty good teacher. I had him for MAC 1105 and MAC 1147, his tests aren't very difficult and his homeworks aren't that bad. If you go to mathlab, focus on your pearson and just get the assignments done his tests will be very easy. He offers retakes for every exam and is very lenient. Highly recommend taking his class.

He is amazing. If you actually put in the work you will easily pass. Yes, there is a lot of work but I promise its worth it. He is genuinely so sweet and actually cares about his students. He wants you to pass and will do everything in his power to help you pass, as long as you also put in effort. I would love to take him again!

Professor Davidson is great. He's a little awkward, but he wants his students to learn. You have a weekly in-class worksheet due and homework due every Sunday. His grades are test-heavy, but he allows retakes for all exams except for the final. The LAs were also super helpful. If you study and go to the math lab, you'll do great in his class.
