He's a clown and gives extra credits on stupid things such as being in class a specific day. May u never went to class but u get the credit and who was always there but absent that day doesn't get it!?!? I haven't learn anything from that class and he was annoyingly trying being fun more than teach

Class is not easy, but if you go to see him personally, he will help you outline the items that would be on the exams. Also gives out extra credits. The only downside is, most of the time he teaches 8am sections, which is, for me, kind of hard to wake up at that time...Still, a great professor.

Him trying to be funny all the time is actually pretty facetious and annoying. If you care about your time and school, DO NOT take his class. It was a waste of time for me sitting in the class and listening to his jokes that are obviously not funny at all. He is a very prideful professor and is Not helpful at all. Don't waste your time.

Very easy, tells you what is going to be on the test word for word, goes through the text book with you and tells you what to highlight. He doesnt have a midterm or final just 4 test. mult. choice. And on top of telling you everything on the test he gives you 5 mins towards the end of the test to use your book to look up anything you forgot.

He will go over ANYTHING you need help with during his office hours, just take advantage of the time he gives you. He is one of the few professors who actually cares about his students.

Love-Love! This guy. Very clear in his material (knows the material) and if you get lost he will not move on without you. His test are based on the exercises taught in class, mostly practiced the same day. Just don't call him dude. I did this, we're not that cool. Still received my deserved A. Oh attendance, be on time and have the book<-- This

He is very nice guy. Funny which makes the class fly by. This was so far the easiest of all classes i had, maybe bc i am science major. He gives plenty of info, although his view is little outdated, plenty of reviews and easy test. Gives extra credit. I brought book only on exams, bc its partially open-book. Got an A (summer ses) and recommending.

Dr. B is the best professor I've had at BMCC so far. He's funny and makes things interesting. If you fail his class it's because you just didn't care. Buy the book, he uses it in every class. Not only does he tell you what's going to be on the exam ahead of time but he allows you to use it while taking an exam. Just take him. You won't regret it!

He does make you bring a fruit to class which is a plus because it's extra credit and does let you use the book for 10mins on test! He is awesome, 4 exams study guide for every test. Read the book and mark the pages. Very easy to get an A and have fun

Mr. B's class was so fun I never left that class bored and I always looked forward to it. The way he grades is pretty clear and if you pass all of his tests you will get an A. You also get retests if you don't pass them the first time. His tests are kind of tricky but if you study you'll be fine. No homework. He is hilarious and always available.

Make sure you dress comfortable because class is hands-based with equipment and practicing. Overall great class and easy A if you show up and actually practice.
