He is a great professor. Will answer any questions. A very smart man who knows what he is taking about and will explain something until it is fully understood. Understands the value of being able to listen to lectures and not just trying to keep up with notes. I recommend taking any math related course with him, you will get a lot out of it.
Professor Andre is an excellent teacher. His presentations and speech are clear. He is extremely helpful and dedicated to helping you succede. Seeing him during his office hour is a smart idea if youre like me and have problems with math. I actually enjoyed his class and I dislike math.
Good Instructor. He needs to slow down the pace just slightly and spend some more time discussing key points.
He was so confusing. I would not take him again. He was a nice guy, a little goofy, but nice. He mixed things up all the time and it would just make it more confusing than statistics already is. I had to go home every night and read the text to reteach everything he had confused for me that day.
He is a very nice man. A little confusing, but if you ask him to clarify, he will. If you have a hard time in math, I wouldn't suggest taking him. However, if math comes pretty easily to you, you should take him because he is very nice, and I think he really cares about his students.
Great teacher. Cares about what he's teaching and is always willing to help. I found it much easier to do homework online. That way you can always get 100%
totally awsome professor! his lecures are really entertaining and educational. he really cares and will go to any lengths to see that you understand the material
Instruction for this class is not done out of the book. Homework is assigned but methods shown in class where sometimes different then the text. This teacher was able to keep the subject interesting and allows time to answer any questions. He is also lenient when it comes to homework and testing.
OMG I love this prof! He's passionate about what he teaches and loves to teach! A+++
Great teacher, he is good at slowing down and explaining things. Homework is very important, not for points, but for a better understanding.
he's a great teacher. he makes everything crystal clear, and can answer any question you throw at him. Definately knows his stuff, and knows how to articulate math concepts very well. Also a really nice guy.
I am terrible at math and have an extremely difficult time understanding a lot of it but Professor Andre explains everything in a way that even someone like me can understand and when someone doesn't get it he'll explain it as many times as is necessary until they get it.
The best math professor I ever had. he's totally patient with students having trouble with math. He will make sure that you understand math for he just loves math. Either if you like or not math he is the BEST.
Great teacher, SO helpful and cares about his students. Quick to reply to emails and passionate about what he teaches. Highly reccomend this teacher to everyone!!
Excellent teacher! He has had all kinds of adventurous experiences, so he tells great stories. Make sure you take good notes in this class and do all of your homework. On the harder tests, he will let you use a 3x5 card with any notes you want on it. Don't be afraid to bug Andre with e-mails. He always replies back ASAP.
great teacher all around...had taken calculus before with other professors and he definitely makes calculus clear...great math teacher!
A very nice guy, but a very bad calculus teacher! Disorganized, antsy, and doesn't seem to know how to teach it. Spends most of time teaching theory, not showing how to do problems. Tests are very hard with problems that were nothing like what is in homework. Had to add points to tests to keep entire class from failing. Take Barcellos or Deleon!!!
Andre was the best math teacher I have ever had!I'm horrible with math and he was so clear about the subject and so incredibly helpful I did really well in the class. I actually started to think I might be good at math after all! I highly recommend this teacher.
BEST PROF EVER!!! he is so sweet and very helpful. he loves math and does everything he can for his students to make sure they understand the material. youll need the book for homework but most of it is online. i barely did the homework and he gives late passes plus i got As on all the tests. TAKE HIM!!
He is fair and compassionate, he teaches by using concept math which helps if you really just don't get it. For some people, that can be really confusing. He has a lot of energy and truly loves math which makes the class easier.
Prof. Andre is great! He is extremely helpful, takes homework questions during class, and is always willing to give you extra help during his office hours. He is full of energy and does his best to keep a dry subject interesting. Very smart, has a conceptual way of teaching that really got through to me. One of the best professors I've had!
I think Professor Paul Andre is a wonderful teacher! You can tell he is really engergetic and makes the class not so boring. He's very passionate about math. He made learning fun and easy. I failed math, but when I took his class I understood everything he was teaching so you should really take him for math!
Prof. Andre is a great teacher. I recommend to anyone who is looking for a math teacher who wants to hepl his students succeed, he's fun energetic and keeps the subject interesting, answers homework questions, and makes the subject easy to understand. thumbs up!
He is a hard grader. He is a nice guy, but I struggeled in his class. If you are good at math he is good but if you are not a math person not so good.I show up everyday do all the homework and fail the tests and yes I study. He tries to help but explains things the same way twice.
Hard class but cool teacher.
If you like the lecture type teachers, then he's the teacher for you. He explains everything in detail so that you can try to understand it. Take plenty of notes and practice problems and you'll understand where he's getting at. Great teacher and very energetic
Take his class!!!!
Good teacher. He is veryyyy helpful and open to answer any questions that you have. Mostly online homework, and a few written ones out of the book. People say he is hard on his grading but I didnt think he was. Very good professor and I would recommend him.
Fair in his grading... Not the easiest, but not the most difficult... Would recommend...
Says he's great, but he's not. I am taking math 110 with him (prerequiste for trig). He is unorganized, his 3D drawings are horrible. If you ask him a question he ramble on and you have to figure out what he is saying. After I ask a question I have to say "So whar your saying is...He's Horrible! Take Vincent Jones!
Geometry can be difficult for non-spatial learners. I wasn't very good in high school but avg a high B going into the final. I really study hard, did all the homework, planned study groups, and managed an A. Use his office hours and form a group. I was horrible at proofs but great at Trig. Things made more sense at the end when I went to office hours. Also, he gives you a 3x5 notecard (page for final) for every exam. He's had great energy and enthusiasm!
best math teacher iv had so far!
Prof. Andre is well versed in math and is excited about teaching. He is very animated and funny (even when he's not trying). I learned so much more in this class than I did when I took Math 1000 without an instructor. I would certainly recommend him as a teacher.
Very enthusiastic and energetic. Makes math somewhat fun if thats even possible. He really cares about the students, and coveres everything that is on tests thoroughly.
He is a wonderful person. I believe this semester was his first semester teaching calculus 2 but he did a great job. He got confused a few times but he loves math and transfers the same feeling to his students. I liked his class a lot!
Such a great professor, and I have been known to hate math. Do the homework, it helps you study. Show up to class. Ask questions. He'll help you before moving on with material. Easy to talk to, understand, knows his stuff. Available to help after class. The book is great too. Online math homework is very helpful. Second course taken with him.:)
Paul was an energetic and entertaining person. He constantly checked with the class for level of comrehension and would take a lot of time to address people's questions. The class was a lot of information but he was superb. A fair amount of homework but the online math lab gave you so many ways to find help (video links, solving a similar problem).
Good Teacher. Really loves his job and it shows. He makes you really like math even if your not good at it.
I hate math & failed this class previously with another teacher. Prof. Andre is extremely nice & helpful. He takes as much time as needed to review questions & he is funny which made class exciting. Not a lot of homework, so I was always able to study for the exams and complete the "study guide" problems he assigned.
He is the best math professor his lectures are very clear and he make sure that everyone understands everything. Homework was done online and he gives five tests and a final per semester
Great professor. Makes everything easy to understand and goes over the homework everyday and answers all questions students have. Will help you with anything you don't understand. Take notes, they are helpful for the homework which is online. You can always get 100% on all homework assignments. He makes class entertaining. I recommend this class.
Very smart, fun, and good teacher!!! Homework is online which saves tons of time of writing on a paper!!! Very energetic professor. My class 1 hour and 20 min was passing with a snap!!! Sucks he doesn't teach MATH100!!! I would definitely take him!!! 100% recommend him!!!!!
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. He is so passionate about math! This is his second time teaching calculus 2, so he is a little shaky, but by far surpass other math teachers who have been teaching this subject for years. He is so energetic! Also, he allows extra time after class to finish the exam, and he also allow a whole binder paper of notes. Take him!
Professor Andre is so full of life. He seems to enjoy what he does. He is super funny, telling us how he almost died stories. He takes the whole class time to teach, so don't expect getting out early.
A couple chapters in Calc 2 is just plain hard regardless of who you take. Andre is nice, helpful, and energetic. Tests aren't too bad and he grades really easy. There were times when he got a little lost, maybe cuz he only taught 401 a couple times.
he is an amazing teacher. very kind, humble and down to earth. prior to this class i hated math. this teacher changed all that. hes entertaining funny and explains everything very clearly he will take time out of class to make sure everybody understands. i highly recommend him. oh and he has africa stories which are crazy. just take the class!
this guy is awesome.
he makes math funny which is good. i like him very very very organized take him.
Professor Andre is one of the best professors that you can possibly take for math. I don't like math, but thanks to him, he made it very easy for me. Math can be confusing sometimes, but he explains everything very clearly and in multiple ways. He is very funny, organized, and is very helpful. I would definitely recommend him.
One of the few instructors that has a passion for what he teaches, and it shows. He is TOTALLY there for his students; will dang near beg you to come to his office for extra help (marvel at his math art). Keeps you interested and has tons of energy. Very quirky, and fun. Best math professor on campus! He should start allowing notes for exams!
You can tell Andre wants everyone to pass. This is the only professor I know who cared so much that he got mad at the class for not asking questions when everyone wasn't doing well. He assigns online homework which isn't much helpful to me. Other than that he grades fairly and he always offer office hours.
Professor Andre is amazing! He always tells students, "I'm here for YOU"! His love for math shines through his teaching and I found this to be very helpful. He is very in tune with his students. I appreciated that he would scan the room to make sure everyone was with him. Don't use your phone in class! Overall, he is great. I would take him again.
Prof Andre was a very nice professor, his classes were great and fun. His lectures were understanding, and I was surprised at how much he was willing to help out his students. He tries his best to make the classes light and comical. Never have I met a person who loves Math this much. If you take him, you really won't regret it. Just don't be lazy.
He is very nice like a person. He would try to help you always. He is very emotional and you couldn't sleep on this class. BUT his explanations is also emotional. sometimes hard to catch the point . often do not give the exact answer on questions(feels like he don't understand what do u want). but if you not lazy u'll pass this class.
He's a great teacher, but the subject is hard. He does what he can to make lectures interesting. He assigns regular homework which is online on MyMathLab and written homework due on test days. He loves when you take advantage of office hours! Also don't be afraid to ask questions, he only wants to help!
Professor Andre has so much energy. I love this guy because he runs from board to board, cracks jokes, never comes in in a bad mood, even when nobody does the homework. He's really supportive, works around everybody's schedule, and paces the class right, speeding up where people understand and slowing down where they don't. A must take if you care.
easy class. Not much diff than 100. He moved so much slower than I would of liked. Mathlab nightly HW. Very energetic. Tests on everything he teaches. Seriously guys, SUPER EASY PROF AND CLASS. If u fail with Andre, that's your fault. Only issue is Im an A student, when I had questions, he ignored me and paid attention to those with Fs. Ridiculous.
Excellent professor! His lessons are very clear and easy to follow along with. He is always available to help. Try not to miss class, as attendance matters. The tests are straight forward, so if you paid attention in class, you will do well. I would definitely recommend him!
His grading style is just going over homework problems (xyzmath- onlinehw). That was hard to follow at some points as he jumped around. He clearly loves teaching but he was too much for me to handle at 7am with his running around the classroom and extreme energy. If you are looking for an easy A and don't mind a chaotic lesson plan- take him.
If math is your weakness, do not take Professor Andre. Some lectures are understandable, most aren't. He uses math language which confuses students even more. Good guy but not a good teacher. Doesn't get involved with students at all. I wouldn't recommend or take him again.
Honestly, if you hate math this is for you. Tired of instructors just doing the problems on the board. He teaches you why you should. He gives examples and makes it more like an English subject. He writes in different colors and won't move on until the class understands. He has humor. The HW load is manageable. Grab this math course while you can.
He actually cares about his students which is very rare for professors. The class is up to you because you have to study in order to pass the class, don't expect to pass with no studying done. He spends a decent portion of class time helping students on homework problems which is awesome. He's funny, always energetic, and ready to teach.
Math dyslexics, sign up! He will go over a concept 60 times without frustration! He pushes back class homework due dates if the class struggles. Make up work available. He shows different ways to do a problem and you pick the one you connect me. He helped me realize math is not hard. He remembers faces and actually cares if you struggle!
Andre is the Bill Nye of math. He's a charming, funny, nerdy man. I hate math and it doesn't come easy to me, but I enjoy his classes most of the time. He is usually easy to follow, and always ready to go over any questions. Bonus: He tells interesting stories. I hope to get into his Math120 class in the fall.
Professor Andre is truly the best math professor at Arc. His lectures are not boring like other math professors also he makes the problems so easy and clear. I would totally recommend taking his class.
I struggled with math and got frustrated with how other math teachers taught. Andre helped me realize that math wasn't a bad thing. He helped me understand and remember more. He's VERY helpful when you need help. If you push yourself to memorize the material, don't miss lectures, and put forth the effort-you will pass. :) I highly recommend him.
Professor Andre is a wonderful teacher! Instead of just telling you the steps to do because they work, he takes the time to explain why they work and the idea behind mathematical operations. He's always very nice, friendly, funny and willing to help. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to take math.
Andre tries to be nice but he is difficult to understand. It seems like he mumbles and jabs at points but never tells you clearly what is going on or what steps are needed in the process. I am very confused in calc 2!
Prof. Andre explains Math in a clear easy to understand way, He does want things to be shown in an algebra way and my brain doesn't always jump to that and he explains how to do it the right way
Prof. Andre is one of my favorites, he was very helpful and made his classes interesting and active. He would put us in groups to get more help on worksheets, he is very understanding respects his students. Wish he was teaching MATH 100 next semester because I would definitely take him again.
Professor Andre is literally the best professor ever!! The way he teaches math makes it super exciting and actually fun. He cares so much about his students success, it's truly inspiring. My favorite part about his class was when he would jump across the room to explain something. He makes everyone laugh with his dorky attitude. Take Him!!!!!!!(:
Heads up, in his class even if you do amazing on the homework you probably will still fail his tests. If you miss even one class you'll more than likely end up failing. Also don't expect to ever get out of class early. He also starts class early too.
Amazing teacher take this class!
Great teacher. Always has a story to tell to a class. Online homework, 1-2 assignments on the day of a class. 5 tests in total, if you prepare for the test, easy B or an A.
I really appreciate teachers that know their subject and love teaching their subject. There is online homework and in class assignments due on test days, but as long as you do them you'll be fine. You're allowed a couple late, online homeworks too. He cares about his students and also has some pretty interesting stories.
Professor Andre is amazing! Hes always willing to help his students out so they can master the material. He knows his stuff and always offers office hours. There are 5 tests and he provides study guides for each one. Homework is online. If you attend class every day and study, youll pass!
Professor Paul Andre was honestly the best professor I've had at ARC so far. People usually rate easy professors who give easy As with high ratings because they just want to pass and not actually learn the material (especially at ARC). However, this professor wants you to learn so you actually succeed in life, not just float-by. Best professor!!
Hes a great guy who cares a lot about his students, always offers office hours definitely wants his students to succeed. But if math doesn't come easy to you it'll be even more confusing in Andre's class. It's clear he knows his stuff but he doesnt explain it in an easy to understand way, honestly he makes it harder than it needs to be.
I took his clsss for math 120 and I attended his class for a while and did the homework but his lectures are all over the place and too hyperactive, he has more energy that the students and run from board to board which is distracting and his work is all over the place, he is going so fast that he ends up making mistakes and students have to fix.
Professor Andre is one of the most caring and amazing math professors I have ever had. He LOVES the subject so much that he quit his job at NASA to obtain a degree in math and he even taught math in Africa. He makes sure to be there for his students and I have so much love and respect for him. He is truly a gem that must be protected at all costs.
Professor Andre made Precalculus (370) bearable and comprehendable. The homework is online, and he always gives study guides for the tests. There are several extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. He makes a huge effort to ensure his students are prepared for calc i and ii. He holds lots of study sessions outside of class. 10/10
He gives a lot of hw (45-70 q a day) and his technique is you do the hw then he explains the subject. He makes a lot of mistakes (like 50% of the time) and if you didn't catch them then congratulation u have learned a new formula that doesn't exist and I have proofs about what I'm saying. He messed up all the formulas that I know before his class.
I was dissapointed to see as many negative reviews for prof Andre in regards to MATH 120. Math 120 is like Algebra II- something i failed in high school. He taught it in such a cohesive and engaging way that if you pay attention and follow along, you. will. learn. Just try to limit your bathroom breaks or absences as you may miss some material.
Professor is very nice and always gets a laugh in during class with his students. Everyone wants an easy A without doing any work based on his reviews. Yes there is a medium amount of hw but its all so easy. Tests as literally based off of the same homework questions. Nothing to complain about :)
He was so amazing and helpful, he made sure everyone understood the material and did everything in his power to help students succeed. There are a lot of homework assignments, about one due every two days, but he will usually extend due dates when coming close to the weekends or holidays. Make sure to ask questions when you need help. 10/10.
If you struggle with math, then I recommend you take another professor. This professor is all over the place. He doesn't like if you interrupt his lecture. There are no study guides.
Prof. Andre is an amazing professor. He has awesome ways of remembering certain thms and posts., and has lots of funny math jokes. He keeps the class interesting and welcoming. I took this course online over zoom while caring for 4 children and hadn't took math in 16 years and I passed with flying colors, This guy is def. a gem. 100 stars!
I like Professor Andre. I am not a math major and normally hate math but in his class things were able to click for me. He taught in a way that made sense. I visited his office hours a lot and that was also really helpful. He is a nice guy. I did have to buy the online homework software ($$) which does take a while to complete but was helpful.
Prof. Andre seems as passionate about teaching as he is about math. Which is a good combination when you want to learn. Pay attention to his lectures, do the homework, ask questions. He is all about helping you learn and makes himself readily available. I took 3 math classes in one semester; really got to compare instructor styles. Andre is 5 star
Took this class physically in Fall 2021. All homework is done online with MyLab access purchase. IMO, way too many and also long homework assignments, and it's only worth 15% of your grade. The rest 85% comes from 5 exams, and also the final. Lowest exam gets dropped. Absolutely no cheesing this class, you must pace yourself and keep up always.
Prof Andre is a great professor. It is refreshing to see someone so passionate about what they teach. He was always so excited about math and that made the class more engaging. The only thing I didn't like was he does not input grades into Canvas so I was always kinda wondering what my grade was.
In the beginning of the semester, I was a wreak in this class. I almost dropped out of college cause of how hopeless it seemed. But thanks to him, I was able to pull myself up. From his office hours, and his responses online. I was able to make it through. Take him if you can, you won't regret it. It's such a shame that he will be retiring soon :(
I was scared about taking this class, but prof. Andre was great and he is always willing to help. He's very passionate about math, his exams weren't too long and he allows for retakes but just a few problems. I really enjoyed his class and I appreciated his work!
Uses mostly prewritten HW problems for lecture, occasionally white board work; mostly works on HW examples. He is very responsive and cares. You can have extra time after class to take tests. Lecture notes available on Canvas. His class format is not super structured but his enthusiasm makes up for it. TY Professor. Happy retirement!
Seems passionate about teaching as well as mathematics. And it shows in his lessons, lectures, and curriculum. Available to students. I took two classes with him early in my mathematics pursuit. And glad I did as I might not have made it this far without such a solid beginning and encouragement. Also has a sense of humor; which is lovely in math.
Took this professor for 2 classes. Online & onsite. Rare professor that masters the art of teaching; not just their subject. It shows. He also understands some students are working towards higher math; others just trying to get through required classes. And he caters his teaching to meet the needs of individual students. Supportive & inspiring.
Professor Andre is engaging and passionate about math. The homework can be intensive, but he's happy to help. Using Unstuckstudy and the free textbook made studying much easier. Overall, a challenging yet rewarding course if you stay on top of the work.
