Dr. Ohanian respects his students very much and this is how he gets repect from them. He is very dedicated to his teaching and is brilliant in the way he explains math. Highly recommended.
Hard, but great teacher. Expect a lot of work, but it all pays off. You will come out of the class knowing the material well.
Professor Ohanian teaches with a lot of clarity and enthusiasm. He takes the time to help his students in and out of the classroom. He holds a lot of very helpful Math workshops. Highly recommended.
Good teacher, I just hate his tests and the way he grades them. He takes points off for any little thing. Many math teachers are like that, but this guy is just ridiculous.

Do your homework and you'll be fine.
Good Teacher, Takes time to explain what he is teaching. Only 1 problem.....NO PARTIAL CREDIT...and you only have like 4 grades so if you screw up once, you're pretty much done :(
Great guy. Check out his site topsecretmath.org
THE BEST MATH TEACHER He makes math so easy!!!
He looks like he could be Einstein's son. Bushy mustchae, wears really tight jeans and loves math a BIT too much. If you're usually not good at math, don't take him, he'll confuse you with all of his tricks and shortcuts. I dropped his class and got into another class and got a B with that teacher.
I enjoy his class very much; He is an awesome teacher and knows what he is talking about.
interesting person, loves teaching math, very clear at explaining, has a nice family, tells good jokes
Very nice and easy going. Teaches alot of short cuts.
He is wonderful,very energetic,and funny.loves his students.tries to help as much as he can. very clear.4 tests.no partial credit.as long as u do the homework and the test review you WILL PASS.
Dr. Ohanian is the best teacher. loves his students. makes material so much easier. he also tutors in the math lab. very clear. just take him. he is awesome!!!!only thing is he doesnt give partial credit on tests. but he hands out a killer review b4 his tests.
This guy is THE BEST math teacher ever. I suck in math and he is the BEST TEACHER i have ever had and actually made me like math. No, he does not give partial credit but he teaches SO WELL that you actually leave the class knowing the stuff so you don't need it.
He's an okay teacher, you basically HAVE to do the homework to fully understand what he teaches. He farts a lot.
Hadn't had any math in 20 years-Learned the most from him and his shortcuts. Knows his stuff, but you must do ALL the homework if you expect to pass. If you don't want to do the work, don't expect to pass.
Alot of homework. Tests are HARD. Teacher is very knowledgable, enthusiastic, and explains things very well, but like I said test are HARD.
Grat teacher. He makes things very clear and concise. I really loved his class - I even wanted to take him for Cal 1, but he wasn't teaching when I wanted him to. Most of the students in the class took him for several classes before then, so that speaks highly for him as well.
Lives and breathes math. Knows all short cuts but teaches different from book. TESTS WAY TOO DIFFICULT! Tests you like math will be your profession
Mr. O is one of the best math teachers, he explains the work and will really try to help students ubderstand whats goung on.However I dropped his class because the math test that he gives is very HARD to pass. He does not give partial points nor extra credit.
he is the best professor I have ever had in my entire life. he is very fair and knows his stuff better than anyone I ever knew at the 3 schools I went to. I'm going to be a teacher and he is my idol by far and away. I used to hate math. Now I get it. I actually like it. I feel confident now to teach
He is the BEST math teacher on this campus! He gives you different ways to solve a problem and shows you the origin. He also gives you a VERY HELPFULL study guide sheet to follow/do. I will be taking him for the next math and i look forward to seeing what new tricks he can teach me!!!!!!!!
He is a very cool teacher, he really tries to help the students and has different ways of teaching. He is great, however his tests are really hard, and he gives out a lot of homework.
good teacher but destroys you on exams- no partial credit. When he posted the grades no A's 2 B's the rest c's, D's and F's.
He is the best math teacher in S. Florida. He doesnt require you to do homework. Tests are pretty difficult: no calculators, no multiple choice, no partial credit. But most teachers do the same. He makes this horrid class bearable. If you need this class sign up for it early cause it gets filled up quick cause he's the best teacher BCC has for math
He is one of the best BCC ever exprienced.
He is the BEST math teacher I have EVER had in my life. He made the subject interesting and showed the class new ways to get around old problems. Keeps it fresh. Sweetest Guy. I will try my hardest to take every math class with him from now on.
He assumes that we are all dumb. He teaches too slow. If you are good at math, consider taking someone else. Infact, he was so slow that it was hard for me to keep up. Good professor though.
Explains material well, takes time to go into detail. A lot of homework, doesn't take attendance, test are medium to hard but he doesn't put any trick problems. One of the best I have had so far. He is a chemistry prof. any similarities to Einstein in his appearance?
the best!!!!!!!!!!
He is a good professor and very smart. Sometimes he can be a little confusing but he is still good. His test are not super hard and he gives really good reviews before each test. I would recommend him.
great teacher...very hands on....great teaching methods and shortcuts
He was very un helpful. I asked him before the drop date if I should drop b/c I don't think I am going to pass, he said no. None of his reviews match his test. He also lied about how many questions were on the final and what type of ?'s they were. Need less to say he failed me and ruined my 4.0 GPA. Do not take him if you like structured learning!
BEST MATH TEACHER IN THE WORLD. I GOT AN A IN HIS CLASS. HIS TEST ARE A LITTLE HARD BUT YOU'LL PAST.
A master of his profession.
he is absolutely the best. he gives great review his tests are so easy, if anyone fails his class know that you are dumb! He is so structured and really passionate about teaching. Take him you will thank yourself!
One of the best math teachers in the entire state.
He is one of the best math teachers i have ever had. He explains pretty clearly and as long as you do the homework (at least twice) you should be okay.For a great portion of the class you are not allowed to use calculator and dont get partial credit at all on test.He is willing to offer extra help through the means of the math lab. GREAT PROFESSOR
Best math teacher ever. Very helpful and clear. Tests are fair and easy. He gives you a review before the test and he makes sure you understand the material. Highly recommended if you want an 'A'. Great prof.
i pass this class with a "B" i got a "F" on one of my test and still manage to get 100's on the rest of this test, if you can do the review well, trust me you will be in great shape for his test.(do the review atleast 2 or 3 times just to make sure you get all the materials well.)
He is a wierd guy! But he is honest! He likes to start right away! His test are good! But I must warn you he is wierd! He does teach the best ways to solve problems.
nice guy.. will help with anything--.. laugh at his jokes and all will be fine-- easy to get an A or B
great teacher. i suck at math and got an A in his class.
Great professor, top quality...but super weird. He is nice as long as he takes his medication. Do your homework and don't ask dumb questions and God help you if you use the wrong terminology when asking him a question. That may sound contradicting but seriously, as far as teaching, he is EXCELLENT. I loved this weirdo professor's style. Thanks!
Very Funny and very easy. Not multiple choice tests, but if you study, you will get an A. He will help you all the way. take him!
Prof ohanian is a great teacher. He is very clear, and keeps the class interesting with his funny remarks and quiorky personality ! you should def take him. im not great at math and i got a B. you just have to put effort in his class and you'll be fine!
the best math teacher ive ever had!! as you can see everyone who has had him loves him. he knows how to teach and is very good at what he does. i would defitinley remcomened him to anyone who stinks at math and is finally ready to understankd it.
Awsome Professor! The best Math teacher! He realy has a passion for math, and it shows when teaching. Explains realy well, doesn't try to trick you in tests, what you see is what you get. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!
He is a good teacher and takes his time. The only down side to him are: Test are not multiple choice. Gives no credit for work in test, no credit for doing hw. Assigns lots of homework and he i always rushing at the end of class while teaching new material. Also, you are not allowed to drop a test, and he will not give you an I u will need to drop
Great teacher. Very excited about math. He lives and breathes it! But test are hard but he does gives reviews on the test and basically gives you what kinds of problems with be on test. Do the review at least three times and you will pass with a B or C and thats if your not good in math!
I was recommend to take his course since everyone said he was "so good". well he wasnt too good or else i wouldnt have dropped the class. He does know what he is talking about when he is teaching, but if your failing his class he doesnt give you much hope for you to even try & pass the class, but to just give up & drop.
this is a late review but, since winter semester is about to start, i should warn people, that i took him during summer session A and and to drop out, his tests are way to hard, me and like half the class had dropped out.... im taking the same class with a dif teacher right now i have a high B close to an A in the class... cant say i didnt warn yo
His test are too hard. he only gives 4 tests and 1 exam to base your grades on! Good luck..at first he makes himself seem so good and cons you into taking his class. his test are hard....i would not recommend this class to anyone
Ok, he explains very good but towards the end of class he is rushing. Sometimes since he knows the stuff he is solving things on his own and you are like what? Test are not multiple choice, lots and lots of homework, doesnt give credit for it, does not take attendance,no xtra credit and test are really hard.
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! He explains everything in a way that anyone can understand. He wants you to get it and he tries so hard to ensure that you do! Best teacher. I hate math and I don't normally do too well.. But he makes sure you do. I wish he was teaching college algebra so I could take him. OUTSTANDING!
Professor O'hanian is the greatest math teacher I have ever took. He honestly cares whether you understand the math. For everyone that rated him bad: It is because they are lazy.. It's math you have to do the homework. If you do you'll do great. I have taken 2 different math classes with him and will take more if he teaches them.
He's the worst teacherr everr... he never has time to talk to his students.. And he's test are toOoO hard!!!! dont take him ... I tryd my best in this class and he doesn't give a F***!
WORST Teacher EVERRRRRR!! :S
Prof. Ohanian is the perfect math teacher. Everything he said was so clear, I never left his class with a question. 4 Tests and the final, he doesn't check HW. Doesn't take attendance. Very nice, and a funny old guy personality
He is a very,very good teacher! His test are hard but if you attend class and you understand the material, you can get a A or B. If you do not do your home work that much...DONT TAKE THIS CLASS! He is a great teacher but grades hard!
Great teacher..if ur lost he will find you..He will keep at same chapter if you dont undersatnd..sarcastic at times but extremeley helpful..prior to all test, he will let you know exactly what to expect. He's a math magician
I didn't have him for math, but he was my tutor. I was lost in my math class and found him as a private tutor. he is AWESOME. He teaches you the EASY way to learn and remember math. I have never gotten higher than a 59 in math, but this semester I passed with an A. I highly recommend Mr. Ohanian, if you take his class and still don't understand the
No teacher is clearer in the explaining of topics. This guy is MR MATH. Grades hard but do the HW and study his reviews and you will get a B or A. He cares a lot about YOU. Wonderful person.
No Comments
yea he is good at his explinations but he is NOT HELPFULL AT ALL!! if you dont do ALL the hw and Pass every test with an A forget passing. Very Strict on tests...no dropping the lowest test grade...just DONT TAKE HIM!!
I love Mr.O! I had him for intermediate and now I have him for Pre-Calc. He's a flipping genius and makes everything seem so clear. He's kinda dorky, math is like his life hehe But he rocks at teaching!
He gives a lot of homework and many test but he is a fantastic teacher. Everything he taught was crystal clear.
Went to a math seminar today Nov 28, 2007. It was a review for a final exam.Ohanian gave the lecture.Never in my life have I ever heard such a clear explanation of math topics. You would need to stick your fingers in your ears not to understand him. He is amazing.
he's super nice and wants everyone to pass thats his main concern. Tests are only like 8-12 questions long so it makes it a little harder to not make mistakes but study his handouts and youll be fine.
HE IS THE BEST
AMAZING TEACHER!!! THE BEST
He is THE BEST!!! If you have to take any math class and he's teaching it..PICK HIM.. you will never fail his class as long as you attend and DO ALL HOMEWORK assignments!!
Prof. O was my prof for intermediate alg. He's so good I hired him to tutor me for college alg. He has many little ways to help you understand. Do the work, follow his teachings and u'll pass.
THE BEST!!! This professor is a genius and wants everyone else to be to. He will do anything to help anyone in math. He holds little seminars throughout the semester that are open to everyone. He has secrets and shortcuts to otherwise difficult math problems. I would HIGHLY recommend him.
Very passionate, knowledgable, and eager to teach you about math. I enjoyed his class, attendance is a must, and homework is essential in passing his tests. I HIGHLY recommend him.
He doesn't know to give an exam.
A M A Z I N G teacher!
He is a genious. He has some great shortcuts to really hard problems. If your going to take this class in summer dont take it with him. There is no extra credit, 4 tests and one final no dropping the lowest grade. I was dissapoined with him as I dont think he cared about if his students pass or fail. I passed the class I just woudnt take him again
HE IS THE BEST! HE LOVES WHAT HE DOES, AND HE GUIDES YOU TROUGH A PATH YOU WON'T SAY "I DONT UNDERSTAND"... HOMEWORK IS A MUST AND ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT....
This dude is really good at what he does! He loves math and is great at explaining it. Attendance is not mandatory but it's a must! Homework is also not collected or graded but do it because it WILL help you on the test! There are 4 tests with anywhere from 15-20 questions, plus a final. No test grades are dropped! Do your hw and you'll be fine!
AMAZING TEACHER!Tests are hard-MUST DO ALL HW and SHOW UP EVERY DAY if you want to pass the class. He is clear with explaning and has great short cuts. Does not take attendance, but must be there every day. 5 tests total-no xtra credit, no dropping lowest test grade, ur grade is based on the 4 tests and the final(Gives a good review sheet-study it
I took him in the summer an I regret it. Half the class dropped out (20 dropouts), no ex credit, no curves, doesnt grade HW, takes points off everything. He DOES NOT care about your grade. His class was very frustrating, I knew his final exam review like the back of my hand and I still got a "C" on it! I hate this guy!
He is a role model he teaches with detail and clarity....he fomulates his own strategy.....in making it easier fo us to comprehend that particular topic......HE IS GOOD....A VERY GOOD TEACHER.....but u have to work for your grades....no make-ups.
Dont take this prof if you care about your GPA. Only 2 students in my class got an "A". Hes too tough and inconsiderate. The tests are the only things that count. You really cant afford to make any mistakes on them because they're not multiple choice, and he doesnt drop any test grades. So If you mess up on one test your screwed. Not recommended.
overall teacher does have many shortcuts and helpful tips you have to do all homework it will help dont miss class and tests are hard he does not care if students pass or not he is okay but i will never take him again
AMAZING TEACHER!!! he loves math and explains everything crystal clear! do all hw and go to everyclass and you will get an A, tests are hard but he teaches so good and gives a great review sheet of everything on the test, really good teacher if you want to learn math the right way!
It's pretty obvious your rating yourself Ohanian. Most of your comments say the same thing. "AMAZING TEACHER", and "THE BEST". How embarassing.
took him for summer pre-calc. he believes his ways are the best with his "Ohandouts," gets quite annoying. His tests arent hard at all they consists of one of every type of problem so its easy to study. all around..he's not a bad teacher but i wouldnt recommend him.
PLEASE DON'T!!! HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HIS STUDENTS,ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NT HIS KIND,HE ATTEMPT TO DISCOURAGE YOU BY MAKN INSULTING REMARKS WHEN YOU ASK QUESTION,JUST TAKE MY WORD (DON'T) NO! CONSIDERATION FOR ENTIRE CLASS. HE DISGUST ME.
first of all if you have problems with math- he is the one!!! i was failing in highschool and now i got an A!!! he explains very good and clear, slow and easy! you must attend tests only, if u want but its better for u to be in his classes. do the HW and you will understand everything. easygoing and explains everything very slow!!!! WONDERFUL
Why do all the ratings say the same thing?? OH THE BEST TEACHER what??? i think he is rating himself those are his words "crystal clear" and is funny that what he says and repeats in every class is what is written in all the ratings lol. Really hard class he should give some extra credit i mean HELLOOO he knows all about math..............
......... Mr.Ohanian don't expect us to be perfect, if you love your students like you always say help them.
ok... every single comment that has a sad face on it its right the ones that have a happy face NOT!!! im taking thus teacher now and im so stressed out i cant drop out now.. he teaches so fast doesnt even give u a chance to write it down DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER evenif you are a good student cuz i am and im falling
THIS TEAHCER HAS MADE OF MY SMESTER A NIGHTMAREEEEEE DO NOT TAKE HIM DO NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I messed up on my first test and I had to withdraw from the class. Reason being he only grades you on tests. Also, I need clean organized notes. He just scribbled all over the board. I wouldn't recommend him to those who math doesn't come easy for. But he's a nice guy.
He is very helpful and he teaches the material well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
ok ok mr.ohanian is not a bad teacher, he explains everything very good. but if you are not good at math you need to take a teacher that gives you a little extra credit because this teacher does not give u any. take dennis manieri he will give u credit for homework.
everyone who says this teacher is bad is crazy. he is such a good professor. he explains everything clearly. he helps you after class and gives you hints on the test. the people who are failing are the ones who dont go to class. do your homework and youll pass without a doubt.
If your not good in math your grambling with your GPA
Could quite possibly be the best professor I have had. A rarity in teaching where he can teach what he knows so that others can understand. Really likes to be asked questions and is very personable. Expects the best from his students. Best advice is to make sure you do the test review exercises he assigns in order to succeed.
Hes a good person, not a great teacher i failed almost all his tests and they were really hard, the final wasnt bad but i still didnt pass his class and another negative is he doesnt let u use calculators for anything
Ohanians SO NICE and makes sure that everyone understands before he moves on to the next chapter.
Ohanian is the nicest professor I have ever met. He goes through everything and makes sure everyone is on the same page with understanding the material. I have only had him for 2.5 weeks, but I am already positive I will be taking him again. Hes funny and he REALLY cares about his students. I wish other professors were this great.
The good ratings he's getting are completely false. Ohanian is known for rating himself. He seems like a nice guy, but he's not. He doesn't care if you fail. Don't take my word for it, ask around at school. Most people will tell you that he's one of the toughest professors.
If you are not good at math, DO NOT TAKE HIM! his class is hard.
he's great at explaining the material if you don't understand it. it kind of makes you feel like your in a elementary class because of the way he talks to you, but it helps. he checks homework and gives tests, that's about it. if you do your homework every night, there is a chance you will get extra points on your tests, and that can help you a lot
I've never taken his class, but he used to tutor me in Calculus in high school. He is a very nice, helpful teacher. He moves at a slow rate, is thorough with his teaching, and takes pride in what he does. If you go to class and do homework there is no reason why anyone would not do well in his class.
Tests are only 14 questions at times which makes it impossible to pass, I didn't like this professor, his teaching ways weren't bad it was just his tests. If you aren't good at math don't take him. It's a struggle to pass with this guy because his tests make it impossible, writes them himself and not multiple choice. Good Luck..
When he gives out reviews he claims it exactly like the test, problem is he gives you the hardest questions on the test so its hard to pass. He tries to explain the material in baby steps, to try to make you understand. If your not good with math, dont take him, he'll make you feel inferior.
his class is really tough. doesnt grade the homework and on the test he doesnt let you use a calculator. I wouldnt suggest him for anyone
Mr. Ohanian is a hard teacher. That is because he is a teacher who doesn't just try passing everyone, even if a person doesn't deserve it. If you don't study, and try hard you will probably fail. I barely just passed the classed and it was a wake up call to me to try harder in future classes and to stop slacking. He seems to love his job.
Don't take him if you like your GPA because he is a very hard professor to please, his tests are brutal! If you want to take him, I'm warning you, you will have to study hours to pass. Does baby steps but this really doesn't work with a majority of the students. Not a terrible professor in terms of teaching but the tests...ugh no thanks.
HIS CLASS IS A VERY TOUGH CLASS. EVEN IF YOU GO EVERYDAY AND TRY TO LEARN ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS. HE DOESNT ALLOW FOR MAKEUPS OR ANY EXTRA CREDIT, SO IF YOUR FAILING HE REALLY DOESNT CARE. DONT TAKE HIM!
Mr. Ohanian is tough but a good teacher. He moves quickly so you need to pay attention. its not that hard to get a good grade in his class if you learn his funny techniques he made up. If your a good student and don't like to slack off then i suggest taking his class
hes a very good teacher=]. im taking his summer course and as long as u do all ur homework and dont fall behind its impossible to fail. he wont move on to another problem until hes positive that everyone understands. in the beginning of class, he always uses about 30mins to go over any hw problems u didnt understand. cares about grade & very helpfu
Best math teacher ever. such an easy class. whoever is giving him bad ratings is rediculous, and probably a slacker. I got A's on almost all of my tests, and B's 2. like any class, you actually have to attend to learn anything. take him. hes the best.
great teacher!!! explains very clear!! :) just do hws..study!!! you will definitely learn a lot!! i recommend him!!
This professor is a great! He makes sure everyone gets what he is saying and he knows great tricks for math problems.I learned a lot in this class.He goes a little fast but if you do all the hw and pay attention you should do fine.
I hated his Pre Cal class. Tests were very tricky/hard. I ended up having to drop the class. He's a nice guy but not one of those professors you can go to their office and ask them questions - he'll probably make you feel stupid because you don't know the material. He teaches @ Nova and expects you to catch on as quick as the students @ Nova do.
Very hard class to take over the summer. Had to drop it because too much HW (5 hours a night!). Great teacher though. ASK QUESTIONS! If you don't you will totally miss out.
Best teacher I have ever had by far! He is very passionate about his subject and that benefits the students more than most realize. He gives alot of examples and answers all your questions.He is also very kind. I highly recommend this professor.
He is a horrible teacher, and is known to rate himself. he doesnt explain the material correctly, I had withdrawn his class knowing that it would be impossible to pass. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!
his class will kill your gpa, I had a perfect 4.0 until I took his class. I had passed but barely. he doesnt allow any extra credit, and even if you study like crazy the tests are too tough. you have to actually understand the material to pass, but if your not good with math dont take him! horrible!
This guy's class is extremely focused. He's actually passionate about math. He's just very laid back. At the same time though, don't get behind on the homework. It's a lot, but just focus on what's necessary, and you'll be fine.
I'm sorry but I dont think anyone in their right mind would rate this man above a 2. his teaching is an abomination, he doesnt help you out in one bit. I do like the guys dont get me wrong, but he shouldnt be teaching math.
Great professor. He explains everything in detail. You do need to study prior to exams, but will review anything you need. Highly recommend taking if you want to actually learn something for future use
His lectures are fast paced!!! Don't miss a day of class or get behind on homework, or you will get overwhelmed. Tests are short,and he does curve. But you only get 3 tests, and final exam is 50% of grade!! If you fail the exam you fail the class, unless you have high B average in the 3 tests. Beware of final EXAM!!! It's killer:(
When I started the class I was afraid, but IF YOU FOLLOW HIM SINCE THE BEGINING YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM!!!! He takes time to explain everything in detail.He loves math and he is a great professor, I never though that math can be so easy.He's great.
unless your awsome at math dont take this class. Tests will kill you only 14 questions so once u miss a couple thats it. No extra credit and you cant use a calculator on half of the tests. He dosnt care if you pass or not, unless you are a math genius dont take his class
Proffesor Ohanian is a fantastic teacher. Before I took him I was terrible at math all through high school. He is easily the best teach I've had on the subject. He has tests every week but if you study and not miss class you will pass. He teaches passionately and understandingly. I thought he was so good, I'm taking him again next semester!!!!!!!!!
He gives you handouts explaining everything that may seem difficult ( like absolute value, graphing, etc) things that may trip up a student. He gives a review at least a week before every exam and then reviews any questions you may have the class before your exam. Though you dont use a calculator you dont need one really. Just do your homework
Believe me or not i did all i could, i am not a slacker and this is the only teach i had to place a rate; mac 1140 is due or die. Doesnt drop grades, teaches soo fast is like his just teaching himself. Lies about calculator use until a day before tests. Hard and confusing final. Care less about bumping up your grade if its close to the next one.
He is a great professor.He gives you handouts to explain further how to do the math problems.Breaks down every example of the section.Only 4 tests and 1 final so you must do well on all 4.HW not required but beneficial to do it so you dont fall behind.No calculator(which i was scared about at first, but don't need one).Take Him!
I hated math, I didn't understand certain things my entire 22 years of life until I took this class. Seriously. If you have never been good at math, or understood certain things about it, this teacher is for you!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. I have over 120 college credits so far.
He is an amazing math teacher! he explains everything and is very straight forward. He gives out reviews for the test and make sure you do those problems and ask him questions the next day. He's funny but never miss a lecture or else you'll be lost.
He is a GREAT math professor.. He gives alot of homework, but he explains everything and goes over the homework the next day. He gives a reviews sheet for every test. If you are not good in math,never miss a lecture or else you'll be lost.
I studied every night im not a genius in math but sweated my pants for this class he gives alot of hw clear but when you want him to slow down he makes u feel stupid.he needs to understand some people haven't been in school for years &aren't math majors.he moves too quick.DOES NOT drop 1grade no calc's & just by 1simple mistake he marks you wrong
He is a pretty nice professor, but sometimes when he was teaching and someone asked a question he acted like they were interupting him. He assigns a lot of homework and his tests are kind of challenging he doesn't give partial credit like some professors do if you mess up one thing in a problem he will mark in incorrect.
This teacher is the rudest teacher I have ever had! You can't ask him to clarify something he just went over because he gets insulted and tries to embarrass you in front of the class and make you seem stupid. You need to be in class everyday or else you will be lost and he doesn?t explain step by step so you have to figure out how he got the answer
BEST MATH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. He makes everything really easy, and is really helpful. He gives you worksheets on how to do really hard concepts, and has workshops. Tests are easy just do the homework. Idk how old he is but he moves like a 20 year old across the class, he loves teaching math!! He's the best. Take him!!!!!!
Ohanian is awesomeee! complain about getting homework and taking tests and having to go to class, aww poor babies: too bad its COLLEGE! He does not make you feel stupid at all when you need help, and the hw isnt graded but it helps to do at least some of it. Tests are easy if you review for them. He makes anything complicated sooo easy! Take him!!!
He is a sweet heart and he looks like Albert Einstein. Very helpful but very hard if you're fresh out of high school or if you are starting from the basics. He moves very fast so once you are behind it's difficult to catch up. So pay attention and do all the homework! Ask questions!
Iam currently taking him for MAT1033 and he is awsome.His grading is a bit hard but fair.he is funny,uses the text book, do all your homework and make sure to practice the review before test and you will be fine. he is clear on the material. I LOVE HIM.
I think this guy is grading himself. This is the worst teacher I have ever seen. rude, sarcastic and act as though he is the smartest person. Why he gets good rating? I believe its because he rates himself. In class he usually applauds himself after every problem, reminding the students how good he is and how DUMB they are.
Prof. Ohanian is great! He teaches easy ways to solve math problems. If you want to be successful in this class, as in any other class, you must do your homework, ask questions about things you don't understand, and study. You should do great! He's a great professor but students have to also do their part!
Not a great math student; was actually dreading the class. However, I did very good in his class. He's a great teacher and I finally got concepts that I weren't so easy for me before. I liked his teaching style so much that I am taking him next semester. Do your homework, attend class, and do your review for the tests and you won't go wrong!!!
Excelent teacher, it's all I have to say.
Excellent professor! I'm horrible at math and he made me understand everything all in half a semester! I'm taking him again for pre-cal. My boyfriend just had him for pre-cal during the summer and got a B. Excellent Professor!
BEST EVER!!!!!!!!TAKE HIM!!!!
Best math professor ive had!! Very eager to help! If you do your homework you will pass
Excellent. Take him!! He guides you step by step. Anybody can learn math with this professor.He is also very funny. I will definitely take him again.
awesome teacher, very helpful i have missed alot of class but he will only subtract 3 points off your test, will help students out if they need it! BEST MATH TEACHER!! im taking him again for 1033!
Math is a very hard subject for me. I understood most of what was going on until we got towards the end. DO NOT MISS ANY CLASSES, you will fall behind. Do your homework and the review sheets he gives. They are pretty much just like the test and you are well prepared. Very funny man from the Midwest. =]
he is very clear one of the best math teachers ive ever seen ! but ; he will mark you wrong even for a wrong sign as ur answer on your test so becareful and studyy !! homework i say u do . it helps you review . if not you will fail. he is very clear ! take notes they help. overall a goo teacher. we need more like him . i go a B
don't take this guy if you want an easy grade, only if you really want to learn math
He's a good professor that knows a lot about math. Don't expect an easy grade from him b/c his test are kind of hard and you have to study for them a few times. He reviews before every test,which most math professor don't do.
I did good on all the test and failed the final due to lack of studying I got a D =( i had an 80 percent average until that final. You can get a B if you study your booty off.
People who say hes rude are soft, hes actually funny. I failed his class & im taking him again because I know if I fail again its because I didnt practice. He puts forth his part & some
This is my second time taking PreCal with him. The first time I failed. I never went to class and was a slacker. I am taking him now again. If you study and go to class you will succeed. So far the 2nd time around I have gotten As on all my exams. Its Pre Cal and were in college so you have to study. Not to mention hes funny as hell.
Mr. Ohanian is literally one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I recommend him 100%. He picks the most straight forward questions for his tests and he gives many tricks to remember formulas etc. He's great!
This guy is one of the best math teachers I've had in my life(probably the best when I think about it). He's a little sensitive but he means no harm.He does not collect homeworks but you still have to do them because all his exams pretty much reflect what's on the homework...Very easy class but DO THE HOMEWORK..I got an A
This dude is one of the BEST teachers at BC. He never has issues answering questions, but then again most people don't ask because he explains everything so clearly. He always gives us the reasoneably easy questions and makes us skip the super hard ones we dont need. He's funny as hell too. His mustache is pretty epic too if that helps LOL.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!! IF ALL TEACHERS TAUGHT LIKE HIM WE WOULD ALL BE GENIUSES!!!
When I say, he's the best math teacher ever, it's because HE IS! He is completely clear on the material, he is HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, a genius. Helps you on the hardest problems from the book. He's a funny old guy and very nice. You HAVE to do all the homework, although he does not grade them. Test are easy. Can't wait to have him again.
The hippie with the epic mustache. Wow, he is amazing. Learned so much and he makes even the hardest problems seem simple. Grades on a curve and really wants you to succeed. Take him and you will be ready for even higher levels of math without any problems.
The best teacher i had in my life. He cares about students. He's going to tell you what problems are going to be on the test. Attending his classes are required and you are going to have a good time. He's a modern Einstein.
this guy sucks. he is very unhelpful and insulting.every time you ask a question he makes you feel stupid for asking it. his tests are extremely easy to fail because they only consist of about 15 questions, and tests are the only thing your grade relies on. if you are not good in math don't take him.
I am not very good at math but i've enjoyed this class because he explains everything. you have to pay attention and you have to study in order to do well but he simplifies it and even gives tips and tricks on how to approach each problem. he gives a review that if you do it and study it at least once! you will get at least a C. he's very nice.
This Professor is OUTSTANDING! In a subject which often focuses on abstract concepts ... Professor Ohanian has a gift of teaching set theories, functions and bases with such concrete clarity that's make even the poorest math student excel.
He's a good teacher. I wish he would grade homework too . But i guess we dont get everything we want in life huh ? i failed his last test even though i studied. Seems to me that he does the easy questions in class and waits to see if you did your homework for the hard questions loll. He's sneaky. Hes a good teacher; just a little hard on the test.
Incredible professor. If you truly want to learn take this guy. This is coming from someone who does not like math at all.
AMAZING teacher!!Anyone you made a bad comment must be crazy.He is by far the best teacher out there.He really cares about his students and is extremely helpful.I don't think he could give more help than he already does.If you think he SUCKS you might as well drop out of school because teachers like him are rare!!U rock professor Ohanian!!
I tried sooo hard to study for this final. HOURS MAN ! He gave us an outline i did it twice and still didnt do well . His tests are not multiple choice and are written by him. The tests have only 14 questions ! so after a few incorrect your screwed. Ruined my 4.0 GPA- his tests are not like his review ...Final is worth 50 percent of your grade.
His tests are handwritten, and only 10 questions long and fill in the blank. He does not drop any tests. The test questions are nothing like the "examples" given in the book. He doesn't allow the usage of calculators and he only grades strictly on the tests and he offers no extra credit.
I took Professor Ohanian for pre algebra and int. algebra. I was so dissapointed to hear he didn't teach college algebra. He is the BEST math teacher I have ever had. Amazing teacher and person. His teaching style is so easy to understand but you must do your homework. I have reccomended him to everyone I know that goes to Broward College and FAU.
Greatest teacher ever ! Very easy i will recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning. He is very patient and doesnt stop until you understand. Homework is very helpful and the tests are based on the hw and classwork. YOU NEED TO STUDY in order to pass
I expected better after reading his reviews. I had a really hard time in this class and his teaching techniques were short and unclear (rushed). He made no attempt to better assist me, telling me at one point that he "COULDN'T" help me. He's a hit-or-miss, depending on your ability to understand the material. I personally DO NOT recommend him.
the way he explains everything is so unclear i had a hard time in this class... never again
I'm awful at math and I got an A in this class. Best math teacher I've ever had, If he taught the other math classes I needed he would be my first choice. Some people thought he's rude but he's just really sarcastic. I never did any of the HW only the test reviews, and actually paid attention in class and it was a total breeze. Highly recommend!!!!
unless you are at the college algebra level in maths, or you are comfortable getting Cs, or you took mat1033 before, this is not the professor for you. My formula for success is , attend every class, be punctual, complete assignments and study till 3 a.m. if you have to. I earned 23 credit/4.0 GPA. This formula was wasted on this teacher. TAKE HEED
This teacher is a hit or miss teacher. There is no make up test, no extra credit work so if u mess up on a test pray for a miracle. review for the test all you want, make sure you have time to finish it. I read the comments(good&bad) about him before I took his class, gave him a chance and ruin my GPA. would never recommend this teacher to anyone.
I have aleady graduated from college and this was my most difficult class as an undergrad. I remember finishing the outline for the final 3 times! When it was time for the final exam, 1/3 of the questions weren't even part of the outline. More than half the class dropped out. If you care about your GPA, stay away!
very patient
Dr. Ohanian is an excellent professor. He really cares for his students, he took time with me in his office a few times to go over stuff i wast understanding. and STUDY for the tests. People giving bad ratings are obviously lazy. He gives you everything you need to know but you have to practice. He's the best math professor I've ever had! Take him!
If you are good in math then take his class.He is not very helpful and test are hard. He doesn't like when any students ask him too many questions.
Difficult grader, don't take him if you don't do your HW
He is extremely helpful. He won't continue on to the next section without making sure that all his students understand the material. He is also really nice and his tests are not that hard just do the review he gives you and do your hw and practice.
He is a nice teacher don't get me wrong but he taught way too fast. If you're someone who doesn't understand math right away DO NOT take him. The reviews are definitely not like the test.
He is a nice guy, knows his stuff and helps you learn the matterial. He works on his easy handouts only, no HW, 3 tests, easy, but has 10-11 questions (which I hate these kind of testing) plus a final with a value of %40 of your grade. I got %100 in his final and an A overall. I recommend him.
This teacher is horrible I'm really good at math and I had to withdraw because his tests were so hard nothing like the reviews and only 10 questions so if u get a coup,e wrong ur screwed DO NOt tAKE HIM
You guys are insane! Mr. Ohanian is an amazing professor! Granted, I received a 'C' because I'm TERRIBLE in math, but honestly that, for me, is progress! He cares so much about his students which can be a bit weird at times because it really bothers him when you don't show up. Just SHOW UP! All you literally have to do is study and you WILL PASS!!!
Professor Ohanian is a great teacher. He loves math and explains the bigger picture of what's going on. He is also very kind with his exams, giving problems that are not tricky. You HAVE to do the homework and the review. He gives you all the tools you need to succeed you just have to put in the time and effort.
I took this class with him over the summer. It was one of my first classes I took when i started at BC. It was no joke for me. The tests were hard, they're written BUT you must attend the class and pay attention to his reviews. He goes fast in the summer but make sure to ask questions.
I loved this class! Mr. Ohanian is great at explaining every detail you need to know for each section, never misses a step, and he knows shortcuts and simple ways to make a seemingly difficult problem into a piece of cake! You must do your homework and come every single class. He teaches something valuable and important EVERY day!
Excellent teacher! Goofy older guy who makes goofy math teacher jokes. Very endearing. You MUST HAVE PERFECT ATTENDANCE and you MUST STUDY. He tried to be helpful, but yes, he did get cranky off and on when people "didn't pay attention." He and I had a good relationship because I studied hard and was never absent. Otherwise good luck!
He cares. He REALLY cares. He cares about attendance, he cares about you being on the phone. He cares about attention. You HAVE to work hard for your grade. It's not easy. Do your homework. Funny. Tests aren't multiple choice, 10 questions. 40% of your grade is the final. He looks at you like you have 3 eyes when you ask questions.
Awesome teacher!! Class was easy as long as you payed attention and showed up took him in the summer for a 6 week course and did great only reason i got a C was because I missed one test and did study enough for the final but besides that he will realy help you if you need it funny as well he makes math enjoyable and comprehend able
This professor was great! He was always very clear and genuinely cared about his students. He is very dedicated to his job and will always help you out if need it. I failed mat0028 three times but with him I passed with a B. His tests are everything he teaches and will be very easy if you do your hmwrk and practice.
michael after the first 2 weeks stopped taking attendance, he doesnt grade homework, they are no quizzes the whole class depends on the 3 test he gives out, math is defitely a practice class, so teaching a math class with no extra credit, no homework grade is definitely ridiculous. please dnt take him unless ur already good at math DID NOT LIKE
He's pretty rude to students who ask for help, but he does try to be helpful..kind of. I ended with an A because I'm more of a teach myself sort of person. I had two friends taking the class with me and they received an F and a C. The class worked out well for me, but definitely not for people who struggle a lot with the subject.
He make u understand math real good even though I failed his class I came out knowing math I had took the class again and pass with another professor... Ohanian is a tough grader no sympathy no homework he doesn't drop the lowest grade
Dr. Ohanian is a wonderful professor, he cares a lot about his students and you can really see that if you go to his office or see him in the math lab. All the negative comments are probably from people who didn't do the homework.. DO THE HOMEWORK! If you do, you will be fine. If you don't understand homework, ask for help. Hate math, but loved him
Iv never understood math until Michael was my teacher, if you are not a math person I 10000000000% recommend This professor he literally saved my college career.
He is the best teacher ever and he explains things very clear. And sometimes adds extra points to your test grade. He is a must take.
Best math professor bar none. He's kind of goofy, but in a good way! His awesome handouts on new concepts and crystal clear explanations make math accessible to everyone. He's very willing to help you out if you're stuck, and you can tells how much he wants you to succeed by how willing he is to work with you on boosting your grades. Must take!
Whoever says that his class, for me is hard to believe because for a math professor he is by far the best I've had. He really cares about his students and if you don't pass it's probably because you slacked. I gurantee it will be an easy A if you at least try. He is very nice and dedicated so I extremely recommend him.
All honesty, this class is hard. Your grade depends purely on the test he gives you. He only gives 4-5 tests, each one has about 10-12 questions, they are free answers. But the final isn't. He doesn't drop the lowest test grade. He is a GREAT guy and professor, its just if you're not a good test taker. Do not take this class.
He is an amazing professor. It's just that his tests are very challenging because they are not reflective of that on the review questions in the textbook that he tells us to do. Moreover, he barely gives partial credit for a problem, even if you get 99% of the work correct. However, he is great at explaining math. He is just a difficult professor.
I never understood math so clearly until I took him. He's like a genius and has all these cool short cuts that make it easier for you to remember. He's very caring and helpful. it bothers him when your late or don't do your homework because he really wants everyone to do well. His tests aren't that easy but if you study you will do fine.
Excellent professor. He truly wants you to succeed in math. Ask questions and do the H.W.
LOVED HIM. He gives you the most helpful little tips you can use in everyday math problems and he can also crack a (lame) joke here and there which is still always funny for some reason. Very caring and reliable. Loveeeed.
He has a good style of teaching and grading. There is no stress about his class.
This class is very difficult. I had to drop it. He only gives 5 tests that are very challenging and have nothing to do with the review questions that he assigns. He gives homework, but he doesn't grade it. He also doesn't give extra credit. He's a nice professor, but this class can be a bit much especially if you have other important classes.
awesome class, teacher is very caring , do the hw, you will get a good grade
Fantastic Professor. Understands that math is hard for students to understand at times. Does an excellent job teaching. He wants all his students to do well and has a group meeting on Wednesdays to help those needing extra practice. (Does it on his time off) His tests are legit tough. But if you are willing to work and learn, you will get an A.
He is an amazing professor!!! You have to put effort in and actually do your homework but he is really great!!!
He is an amazing teacher and pretty funny as well. I liked his style of teaching and he only has 4-5 tests throughout the whole semester but gives study guides before. You will have to do homework if you want to keep up with how he teaches. If your not a good test taker I would not recommend but otherwise he is great.
He's an amazing professor BUT tough grader. DO NOT! I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE HIM if you're a bad test taker. DO NOT SKIP CLASS. You wont pass if you miss a day. Make sure you do the homework even though he doesn't grade it. The class consist of 3 test & a final that's worth 40% of your grade. Such a bad grading scale.
More concerned with own self-importance. Has no problem to publicly humiliate a student in class.
OK, Honestly in my opinion if you're not good in math and you need that extra help DO NOT take this class. Sweet man but not very helpful. You have no extra credit and no homework grades. Just 5 tests. If you do not understand the material you're out of luck.
Great teacher, teaches short cuts which are very helpful. Makes class fun with sarcastic sense of humor. Walk in late, he will make fun of you which I love! Only grades tests so its important to show up to every class and take clear notes. He will answer your questions, just don't take it personal when he looks at you funny for asking. Don't slack!
This was the 6 week course. I am not good at math and recommend taking it as a Session 1. LOTS of book work teaches clearly but gets really confused when students ask questions. Kind of embarrasses you by saying "what's not to get" or "this is really simple." Do all of the homework and the study guide and you should be okay.
He is truly a great teacher. Nice, funny and really helps you to understand math.
Great professor overall. Do all the work and you'll pass! took two of his math classes already.
The only bad thing, which is all about perspective, is his grading style.. He doesn't mark for showing working so if you get the final answer wrong (even if your working is correct) then you lose 7 WHOLE marks depending on the number of questions... I mean it teaches you to be extra diligent but when it comes to your grade it messes with your life
Me again... I wish I had taken him for college algebra and I wish he taught calculus here because he literally is THE best math teacher I have ever had... He not only knows what he is talking about but ENJOYS speaking about it.. He makes me want to lecture in math just so I can emulate his teaching style. THE BEST TEACHER EVER. and he is HILARIOUS.
I don't understand why some people are saying he's rude. He's one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students. He's sarcastic at times, but he's only trying to make the class less boring. Normally I struggle to even pass with math and I got an A with him. Honestly the best math teacher I have ever had. Take him!
Great Professor. He Teaches The Material In A Clear, Crystal Way. He Makes Sure You Understand The Material And Answers Any Questions You Have. He Also Demonstrates How To Do Problems In A Way You Can Remember. He Also Has A Sense Of Humor! I Would Recommend Taking His Class, And Would Take It Over If I Had Too!
Great prof, very clear on his lectures, i failed this class 3 times and he literally helped me save my college career. Go to class and take good notes, hw is optional but do it and you will ace the test, gives reviews for exams. I did a group study and I really enjoyed the class. Pay attention, he doesn't like when your late and then ask questions.
Great at teaching the material, but not so great when it comes to reitterating something. If you dont understand it the first time, you WILL be embarrassed by him for asking it again. Hard to ask him questions without him making you seem like an idiot. I would suggest asking him questions privately.
Proffesor O. is the best math prof. I have had in many years. if I could take him for every single math class I would. Do your Hw!!!!!! it realyy helps on the exams. He gives good reviews and nothing surprises you on the test
Professor Ohanian is great! His tests are super easy because he gives hints throughout the semester on what he ll be testing you on! As long as you dont skip class and do all the homework, theres no reason to not get an A in his class. He is super funny and makes the class fun to go to. I highly recommend taking him ;)
If math is not your favorite subject, prof. Ohanian makes you understand and answers all questions. On his free time he used to give quick lessons at the library VERY HELPFUL!!
Best math professor I've ever taken. He's hilarious and very organized. Very fair grading system.
He is an amazing teacher. Very good at what he does and also helps out a lot. Very clear when giving explanations and also reviews with you before the test.
Best math teacher I have ever taken!!! Seriously he wants you to learn. He teaches you as though you were his own kids and cares about what grade you get in his class. Explains everything does not rush through anything. He is one professor that is there for you!
I LOVE this Professor!!! If you like the old school style of teaching, whereas the tests are handwritten and nothing involving the computer, you'll love him. His teaching skills are amazing. I would definitely take him again. He gives great shortcuts to problems which will have you looking like "wow! How easy!!" Take him, you won't regret it!
While he isn't a bad teacher per-say, but he isn't the best. Gives you a review and half the material isn't even on the test. Very lecture heavy. Sometimes he comes off as rude but he doesn't seem to intend to. Overall he's a 'meh' teacher.
Probably one of the most knowledgeable teachers I've had to date. The only issue is that his "test reviews" do not cover everything you need for the test, so don't depend on them.
Great professor! Be aware that your grade is based only on tests (he does give 30-45 min extra credit lectures outside class too). He explains everything thoroughly & very easy to understand. Math isn't my best subject, but I ended the class with an A. Pay attention in class and take lots of notes!! Homework is optional.
DON'T TAKE IF YOU SUCK AT MATH!
I have always been good at math but the way his lectures are is very good. He explains everything to clear and if there is someone that doesn't understand he makes sure he goes back and explains it again. He likes to see that his students understand the material and makes sure they pass. Would take him again.
He's a easy going guy like to give jokes. He give a lot of extra credit work. If a student does not understand he goes back and explains from the beginning. e wants to see you pass the course so he does anything to help you can go and also get help with work on days when there is no class just let him know.
Best math professor! I recommend him and I am taking him again. He helps his students and doesn't stop until every student understands. Do not miss class. Tests are almost every week but he does a great review the class before.
Hw is optional / lab hrs is a must( possible ALEKS next term) Be on time and don't miss Test questions 15. 11 test. Pass the test then you pass the class Extra credit ( go to his talks, 2 points) Condensending , patronizing , very knowledgeable . If you don't mind dealing with the above requirements, then sign up.
I'm coming to the end of my semester with Professor Ohanian and it has been a blast. He makes learning the curriculum easy. He will do experiments for practical applications in class to help demonstrate how math associates to the real world. He will also help anyone who asks for it, in class or after class. I would definitely recommend!!
Hardest class ever. He writes and lectures faster than most people can think. Beware if you ask a question be cause he will belittle you and make you feel small with his snide remarks. Several times students walked out because they felt disrespected. Good luck
really great professor and cares about his students. Superb.
This is the guy to take. He gives out "ohandouts" that really help with the lessons. If you need help, go to his office hours. He really does care about his students, but you as a student have to put in the effort as well! I do not think he is condescending when I ask questions. He has a dry sense of humor that puts you at ease.
Possibly one of the most amazing Professors I'll ever have. Builds such an amazing foundation. If your note taking is on point passing is easy. HW not mandatory but the practice is great to have. Teaches you more than what the books teach you and faster ways to find answers. Taking him again for Pre-Cal. Awesome at breaking everything down.
lectures the whole class & hardly lets you out early. But he doesn't read from a power point like most professors. his lectures consist of doing various problems till you understand the topic. Review is not exactly like the test. he's very kind and funny.
Great math professor! Corky. Super clear and thorough lectures. Must take notes and do hw. If you don't do the textbook hw the material won't stick. Study! Grade is based on 4 tests (3 & a final). Fair grader, gives partial cred. Worst grade gets replaced. Gives "math talks"; each 1 you go to is 2 pts of extra credit, potientally 22 pts. Take him!
By far the best math teacher I've ever had. He has special ways to do things that other teachers don't really show you. He is very thorough with his lectures and makes sure you understand. There is only 3 tests and a final, but if you do the reviews he gives you, you're all good. I would definitely take him again.
He's great, so fair, a mega sweet heart. The people that were saying he was rude I don't understand AT all. He tries to make sure everyone leaves understanding and laughing. I wish all math professors were like him. 3 Tests and 1 final. Must study. Offers talk extra credit AND lose the worst test grade! Sad he's not teaching Trig next semester!
Hands down best math professor ever! Love him! Study exactly what he says and ask him questions and you will pass!
He is an AWESOME Math Professor! I always hated math and never comprehended well, or had a teacher that took their time to make sure I get the concepts. Professor O cares and makes sure you get it! I passed his class with a B and honestly didn't expect too. He is a bit sarcastic when explaining something he may have before, but he means well.
Professor Ohanian is the BEST MATH teacher! He is so patient and TRULY cares if you don't understand something. He takes his time. He wants you to learn and understand math. If you ask him to repeat something he'll do it until EVERYONE understands. Truly a genuine and caring person and educator. He really takes pride in teaching. I recommend him!
Best math teacher ever. Light grader. Homework is not mandatory. He does Ted talks for extra credit. He explains things thoroughly for those who are bad in math. TAKE HIM TRUST ME. HE MAKES IT SO EASY TO PASS !
Great professor. His lectures are clear and concise and what he says is on the test, is actually on the test. Homework isn't mandatory but it's a good choice to do it for practice. He replaces the lowest test grade with the final and offers extra credit. I would take him again for sure.
Homework is not mandatory, but I would try them because they help for the test. Does give a review but those questions are from the homework. He gives 3 test and final is cummalitive. He does do extra credit, 2 points for every math talk you go to. Tests aren't hard but DO THE HOMEWORK.
He's really nice and teaches very well. He makes math look simple and easy to understand. The big downside to this class were the tests. They were hand-written and most of the problems were a lot more difficult than what he taught in class.
The best math professor ever. He goes directly to the point and explains clearly. Do your homework and you will pass this class without any problem.
He's a good teacher and will always make sure you understand before he moves on.
Professor Ohanian is amazing! I absolutely suck at Math and it is hands down my least favorite subject but I walk out of his class with an unbelievably clear understanding of the lecture. Some say that he's a little fast but I believe you'll be perfectly fine if you do the homework. Only thing is just 3 tests so you have to make sure you pass!!
i had a great time in professor ohanian class i thought he was such a cute funny old man. his explanations were easy and he gives you extra credit . i was doing well in the class i had a 87 and and fail the final and my grade dropped to a D because the final was 40% of the grade . In the pre-calculus there were 3 test and the final. No homework
Very good Professor. He knows what he's doing and has great teaching methods. Online Aleks, about 3 Test and a Final, thats it. He give out a review about a week before each test and goes over it with you the day before the test. Very similar to what is on the test.I didn't like Math before him and he made it easy to understand and very enjoyable.
Great teacher. No need to buy book, just visit the math center and do hw and you'll be fine. 3 tests and a final that replaces lowest grade. Professor teaches the material well and always ask if anyone has any questions.
I have never had someone teach things so clearly. He is like a math wizard. He has so many shortcuts to things you have been previously taught and makes them so much easier. You will wind up hating all your past math teachers for teaching you so hard. I cannot say how amazing this professor is. 4 tests and final can replace lowest test score.
He is very kind. He is funny. His class can be boring sometimes but it's still worth taking. He makes sure that the subject matter is clear. His tests are also exactly what he teaches. Do your HW always and you will definitely pass with A or B+. AMAZING!
Great professor, I would def recommend him. His lectures are clear. DO THE HOMEWORK and PRACTICE. You'll do fine!
I would not recommend. Dropped out of the class half way through the semester. He only gives 4 grades for the entire term (3 being tests and the last grade being the final exam). There are no calculators allowed and tests arent multiple choice. He belittles you if you dont understand something or have a question related to the chapter/section.
Only graded materials are the 4 tests he gives and they're only about 10-12 questions each. He is very clear when he lectures and answers any questions you may have. It's math so you do have to study but if you do the homework you will pass. He goes over the homework in class. Straightforward, funny, and makes everything clear.
If you're looking for a professor to embarrass you in front of all of your peers and doubt your abilities, look no further! If I didn't have a tutor I would have never passed this class. I'm not great in math and his other reviews were totally misleading. Doesn't grade homework, only tests.
This was probably one of the best math professors I have ever had. He has tricks and shortcuts that he came up with himself to simplify many lessons. He really cares about his students and them passing his class. His test reviews and tests are very straight forward as long as you come to class. The tests are exactly like the reviews.
coolest professor EVER. he has the best tricks and shortcuts that are so useful. hes really kind and understanding and willing to explain anything at length. do the hw and test reviews and its a breeze. no calculators on the tests though, but dont worry they are so easy you wont even need one honestly. 10/10 would take him again
If math were a religion, this guy would be a prophet. Very clear, caring, and funny.
Only 4 tests that determine your grade and only gives 10% extra credit. I recommend him if youre a good test taker, if youre not then I dont recommend this class.
Over half of the students dropped the class within the first week. He teaches directly from the book and assumes that you already know the content beforehand. He teaches too fast and gives you a face of "are you seriously asking me this?" when you ask him how he got the answer or if he can go step by step. Stay away if you're not good at math!
Dont take this class if you want an Easy A.
By the time midterms came by half the class dropped him. Your whole grade is based on 4 tests so if you're not a good test taker I wouldn't take his class. I studied and got tutored for this class throughout the semester. He gave no extra credit and expects you to know everything he's talking about and would treat you as you were dumb if you didn't
There are 3 tests and a final. Reviews are given & are similar to the test. He gave extra credit math talks but never put them in for me & other students as well, also he gives a math access code you have to buy but never put that grade in as well at the end even though he said he was. He can be slick when you ask for help sometimes but he is nice
Best math teacher i'v experienced since starting college. Very clear with his lectures and is always asking if anyone needs help. Do all your homework assignments and you will pass the class.
He's a really good teacher, there's alot of homework but they help prepare you for the tests. Plus, after every homework assignment he goes over them and makes sure you understand. He's tells funny dad jokes to lighten up yhe room of the class, I would honestly take him again.
Ohanian was just OK. He wasn't too comforting for student who needed to ask questions, he'd just make you feel dumb. This is not a good feeling, therefore, nobody really asked any questions. Grade is based on 4 Test. Honestly, if you're not too strong in math, don't take him. He is for students who already know their stuff.
I SUCK at math. Like, so bad. I was petrified going into this class, but Prof. O provided so much extra credit, and explained things so well, I was able to pass. He's amazing. Do your part, go to class, study for the tests. You'll be fine :) and homework was optional!
Just completed a long semester with this Professor. He's a 10/10. I was terrible at math, and hadn't practiced it in years. He made it as if I never stopped and even provides so many cool shortcuts and tricks. Where was he when I was in middle school?! Homework not mandatory, but do it. He gives great study guide for the exam. A+ preparation!
Math is not the easiest class for me but thanks to Dr. Ohanian my summer pre-cal was a breeze. He is so caring and makes sure everyone is understanding the material. He also gives tons of help through cheat sheets and is extremely reasonable with grading. I WOULD TAKE THIS CLASS AGAIN FOR SURE ! I recommend him for anyone who struggles with math :)
He doesn't grade homework, he makes it very clear that he doesn't want to be there, and his lectures literally put me to sleep. If you're not good at math (like me) DON'T TAKE HIM!! His test reviews are so bland, and don't match with what is actually on the test. He only grades tests and this online workshop; other than that you're on your own.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER. He is a nice person, HOWEVER, THE ONLY GRADES HE GIVES ARE FOR TESTS, HE DOESN'T GRADE HOMEWORK OR GIVE EXTRA CREDIT. IF YOU DON'T STUDY YOU WILL FAIL THE CLASS. 0/10 would not recommend.
He sends a lot of hw that he deosnt even grade. he is a nice person, but he doesn't know how to explain. tests are short, but really hard and tbh idek how he grades and he doesn't give partial credit for process so basically its you fail or you fail. he is talks really slow and he covers the whole board when he is explaining so you cant even see.
GUYS IF YOU LOVE TAKING HANDWRITTEN TEST MADE BY HIM AND SEEMED TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM REVIEWS, TAKE HIM! BUT NO WAY HE MAKES ANYTHING EASY! HE GRADES ZERO HOMEWORK AND DOES'NT EVEN DO EXTRA CREDIT. HE'S A NICE MAN BUT ONLY GRADES TESTS!THAT'S IT, SO IF YOU DON'T STUDY BE PREPARED TO FAIL!
Michael ohanian genuinely cares if you understand the topic or not. He does go through the lessons quick but you can always raise your hand and ask a question. Assigns HW but doesnt grade it because he knows if you dont have the disciple to do the HW you will not receive a good test grade. Has only 4 grades which are the 4 tests. Super funny guy.
He is awesome and very fun to work with
He was really understanding and worked well with the class considering the pandemic
Do not miss class. If i didnt miss class i probably would've had a B in the class. He is ok, very monotone lectures that is based of the optional hw so do them. His tests are fairly easy but one of them may get you hard. Pay attention. I would take him again, but if there are other professors available and better i would look at them at well.
Took this class online from June-August Do not buy that text book ( if your going to just get your answers for the quizzes offline ) because the book is for homework ( that dont get graded ) and gives . There are only quizzes no test .. quizzes ( about 7 or 8 ) are like 3-4 questions long .. hes not a bad professor got a B .
This professor has changed my life, and sadly not in a good way. During this course, I developed high-functioning anxiety as Ohanian did nothing to assist me when I made it very clear I was struggling. I would ask for help continuously, and rather then assist me he'd walk away so as not to bother listening to my pleas.
