although he is pleasent, he is extremely difficult to understand in higher level math. although he is able to teach lower level math, he is definately not someone you want to take for any calculus courses. he cares sincerely about ppl, but no one in my class can understand what he is teaching. alternate prof: carlos gil.

He is a good teacher. The best part about his class is that you don't need to buy the book. However, your attendance is mandatory to pass the class. If you miss class, you miss alot of his notes. He teaches with clarity, and anyone would be able to understand MAC 1105, even an elementary student. He also gives great reviews before each exam. GOOD!

He's not a bad professor! But it's really easy to get lost in his class. He's super nice and very knowledgeable. The homework adds 10 more points to your quizzes so that did help me A LOT.

ACTUALLY TOOK MGF 1130 , mathematical thinking. He is sassy however when you ask him for help he is simple and straight to the point. Attend lectures especially if your peers are lousy.

He seems like he wants to help us, but his strategy isn't to our benefit. He doesn't use textbooks, doesn't use canvas for grades, and he makes up all the math questions in his head. He doesn't like us taking notes while he is going over the problem but rushes us to copy it after. I would never take his class again! I'm struggling!

Only take the class if you're already good at math. The professor's strong accent makes lectures difficult to understand, there are no online resources, and he's hard to contact outside class. Missing a class is basically a death sentence, and his lecture heavy teaching style is bad and borderline antagonistic. Avoid this class at all costs. 0/10.

I was never really good at Math but his class was great. I know I passed but the grades haven't been published yet. He is very test heavy and that is the only thing carrying your grades unless you do the homework, which is 10 points added to your test grade. Be sure to take good notes and write things on the margins to help you remember the steps.

Great old school professor, we did not use a textbook the entire semester. Our study materials came from the notes we took in class; that's why attendance is important if not you'll be behind and your grade will show just like mine lol.

i'm warning you guys do not take this class you feel like you're doing well in his class and it turns out you get a C. He doesn't let you know what grade you have in the course until the final grade. he doesn't put in the grade on canvas so you're gonna be clueless of how you're doing in the class.
