Prof. A is great! He explains math in a way that makes you really understand it & not just memorize it. I did have however a similar incident of miscounting the points of my test and getting a lower grade.I am confident however, that I am moving on to the next math class with a strong base with his teachings. I recommend him highly.

His accent will throw you off easily. However, he goes over the concepts over and over until everyone understands, so his accent is meaningless. He's a great teacher. He doesn't take attendance, but doesn't have a set syllabus so you have to go to class to know what's on the test. Easy class, you don't really need the book.

Professor Anthappan was a great teacher. He gave easy to understand short cuts on a lot of problems and explained the difficult ones very well. The only problem I had with him was that there were some things he did not teach that were on the test, so he taught them at the last minute which caused many of the students not to understand.

At first his accent made it difficult to understand him, but after i got used to it cause it's MATH. his tests are exactly like the study guide but he takes FOREVER to grade them. Always gives extra credit!!! & he's hilarious in his own weird way.. LOL Math is never fun, but he's cool. if youre impatient about your grades then you'll get frustrated

He's awesome. Amazing at explaining things the first time; not great at explaining things the second time. Could be hard to understand because of Indian accent. Four tests that look exactly like the reviews. If you take him: show up, sit up front, listen hard, and study. If you take good notes and study well you should be certain of a good grade.

EASIEST STATS PROFESSOR AT BC. I got a B in College Algebra with him and an A in Stats. His Indian accent is not that hard to understand. There are 4 tests and 1 makeup chance. He doesn't really respond to emails so if you want to see him, go to him beforeafter class. There was no formal review for Stats, he just tells you what to study.

Professor Anthappan is an amazing Professor. He really cares about his students and is willing to work with every pupil to ensure success as long as you are willing to work and study the material. While the curriculum was not easy, he has an art in explaining mathematical concepts allowing even the most weekest of math students to understand.

Great professor. Very clear & shows u every step of the process. His notes are what u will need on the test & he will tell u what will be on it. Need to memorize formulas & definitions but if u study ahead of time u will do good. Extra credit saved me! Sit on the front! NO book needed, saved $130! Watch for previous test formulas needed on the next

Professor Anthappan is awesome. He is able to teach clearly and shows you easier more time efficient ways to solve a problem. I took him for two semesters and he is by far the best professor I've ever have. He gives you ten extra credit point per test. Doesn't require you to do ALEKS, book isn't necessary, and gives reviews for test and final.

He is an amazing teacher take him you will not regret it. HIs tests are not multiple choice but that doesn't matter because his study guides are exactly the same as his tests (different values of course but same questions). He writes everything on the board and makes everyone solve the questions in class so everyone can remember. HW is extra credit

He was very nice and a great professor. Has an accent but once you learn to understand him its fine. Grade is based off four exams so make sure to study and participate during class. Gives 10 points extra credit on each test for doing the homework

Prof. Anthappan is an excellent teacher, but he does not give enough practice. He does not use the online component, meaning your entire grade is hinged on 4 exams. Another con is he does not return tests until the class before the next test. Most of the students in my class have no indication what their grade will be. The semester is almost over.

This math teacher is very smart, there is no doubt about that. But he simply doesnt care about his students in his MAC1105 class. Homework is extra credit towards the 4 tests he gives throughout the semester so your only grade is your tests. He is not clear AT ALL. Teaching method is horrible, hardly gives test grades back, doesn't review ANYTHING.

If math is your worst subject I wouldn't him. He waits till the end to give tests back, so it's unknown what you're grade is. He never goes over anything to prepare you and the tests are pretty difficult. The notes and study guides are not the same. Overall I feel like he doesn't care about his MAC1105 class and focuses more on his other courses.

great teacher, very good at explaining material. If you miss class you have to get notes from a class mate. notes are what saves you in the tests. gives extra points on tests if you turn in all the homework. saves you money, does not require you to buy any books. just a scantron for the final.

He is a very good teacher. He doesnt teach by the textbook, he gives you problems on the board and show you easier ways of solving them. You must attend class because there is no other way of learning the material. There are 3 test, light homework, and a final. His accent is difficult to understand at first, but you get used to it.

GO TO CLASS. He teaches in such a way that you actually learn & understand Statistics. I am THE worst when it comes to any type of math. I was scared to take Statistics based on horror stories I've heard about how hard the content is in general. Trust me, you'll learn from him & he breaks it down in the simplest form.

Professor Paul is great. He has a tendency to gear his lessons to the brightest kids in class, which is good but can create an intimidating atmosphere. His problem sets and tests are very hard, but he curves fairly. On the whole he is an engaging, excited, funny teacher who makes math exciting.

He does have bit of an accent so it can be a little hard to understand however, his class is easy but it's not blended so if you skip a class you better have someone else's number from the class to get the notes, because all his exams are from the notes he gives homework from the notes also, this class is really easy and doesn't use a textbook.

He teaches for his weakest students so if you are horrible at math like I am then this is the class for you. No textbook required. No expensive calculator either. Caring Professor.

This is one of the best professor I've had. I took him over 2 years ago but I had to come back to say Mr Paul is amazing. He's old school everything was done on the board, I'm not great at math but he made stats so clear He makes sure he explains really well and makes us participate. He gives homework, easy tests for I understood the material well.
