When i first read the comments here I was really afraid to take his class, but there were no need to. He is a good teacher he explains well the topics always try to answer questions and let everybody solve problems on the board which by the way give extra credits. Be attentive in class and just redo the exercises by yourself and it will be good.

The lack of information provided made this course no possible to complete. He doesnt announce what to do for the day, and he doesnt post homework questions. He doesnt post ahead so youre stuck working day by day. He lacks personality and his videos are long and dont make sense at all. Dont take this class.

Does not teach in class. Instead, there are 45 min videos given four days a week for each lesson. Classes are used to go through practice problems, not teaching. Very hard to keep up and actually learn. Great for experienced math people but not great for everyone else. Tests not taken in class, online and weird submission for all assignments.

At the time of composing this, I am both a former trigonometry and a current calculus student in his accelerated summer class. I can attest his classes are difficult, although assuming you put in the work and stay committed you should succeed--as he wants you to. He requires you to brave hardships alone; despite that you can always ask for help.

The long video lectures were confusing and hard to understand, most if not all information (like how to do certain problems and definitions for terms) could only be found in these videos and notes. The notes from the lecture videos were missing a lot of key information. Very few assignments. Long/difficult quizzes/tests, some in person.

This professor is the worst—avoid at all costs! Whether you attend class or not, you won't understand much. He pulls numbers out of nowhere without explanation, his accent is hard to follow, and class time is spent nonstop writing. Study guides don't match tests, making them useless. Expect daily 2-4 homework assignments, some taking way too long.

I saw a lot of bad reviews here, but I think they're being unfair. If you're willing to put in the time and effort for the course, he'll respect that. He was perfectly willing to explain things, and he was honestly fairly lenient when it came to grading. He even gave the class test corrections a few times.

Withdrawing at a D+, I'm usually great at math but he is not understandable. Lots of examples but no processing time or explanation on how we get to the step(s). Unfriendly and intimidating, cracked jokes at students expenses. I never want to talk or offer answers in class in case he takes a jab at me if I'm wrong. Killed my confidence entirely.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. On Day 1 the room was full, now barely anyone shows up. I was just doing my notes and someone beside me wasn't, and the teacher called him out: “Where's your notebook?” I'm like, “Is this dude serious?” Who cares if someone isn't taking notes, just leave them alone. Get ready for a whole story because this gets ridiculous.

To be fair, the guy gives you 50% of each exam to take at home and also gives extra credit based off attendance. But I agree with everything else, extremely socially/emotionally absent, lectures are just a watch and do type of model (doesn't explain anything). He's definitely not a good professor but you should be able to pass regardless!

This professor wasn't very rude, but there was a girl in my class who needed extra help and seemed to have a hard time with him. He was very strict about taking notes in class. He didn't allow AirPods or phones and would call students out if he saw them. Tests were graded strictly as right or wrong, with no partial credit. VERY heavy on notes

never cared about who was teaching the class, but now Im very wary. During office hours, I expressed that I wanted to turn my grade from a C to a B, and he literally said I couldn't. However, I did end up earning a B. The issue is that he is disrespectful.he doesn't explain anything during lectures and mostly just reads and rushes thru the material
