My only complaint is that quizzes and tests are the only way to get points. There is no homework collected, so no grade for homework.

Doctor Gunsul is one of the most likable teachers in the math department. Just a really pleasant guy to be around. You would never know he has a Ph.D. from how he talks to his students.

He brings a bit of energy to the lectures which helps a lot and shows short clips from youtube on thursdays to help break up the lectures which helps a lot. The one problem I have with him is that homework is not required or graded or gone over in class so its hard to be motivated enough to do it. If you need little motivation he's a great teacher.

The only grades for this credit is in person quizzes and tests. It's structured so that you have 48 hours from lecture to quiz to cram in everything you were just lectured on. I'd avoid this for any other math class. I tend to be a VERY good student, which tells me something else. The textbook itself isn't very helpful and he eschews labs.

Dr. Gunsul is THE BEST math professor I have ever had. He is a phenomenal teacher and a better person. He is a very lenient grader and always gives partial credit if you attempt the problem. The class has a very easygoing environment, and I will be sad to see it end. If you get the opportunity, definitely take him!

I love math, and after a rough semester in Calc II, professor Gunsul helped me get back on track. He's in the top 5 best teachers I've ever had. However, beware 100% of your grade is assessment based. No homework, only quizzes and exams. Each exam is about 20% of your final grade. He's not a strict grader tho. And YouTube Thursday!

Dr. Gunsul is definitely the best math professor I've never had. He makes really difficult things super easy. Honestly I'm not sure why he is teaching at Rock valley he should definitely be at a big school getting big money. If you have the option to take him for any of your classes just do it, you won't regret it.

Best math teacher I have had maybe ever. His classroom is the definition of a learning environment: he is caring, gives clear explanations, consistent, and just uplifting to be around. His understanding of students and how to break down complex math for our understanding is impeccable. No matter what math, he'll make you understand it.

Throughout high school, my professors were unsupportive as I struggled with mathematics. One of them would yell at me when I asked "stupid" questions. After every homework assignment, I would ask professor Gunsul questions and he would always answer with a smile and try to be understanding with how someone could get confused. Thank you professor!!!

I went into this class expecting it to be extremely difficult, as I am generally not the best at math, but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't think the material was especially easy, but he would explain one concept in multiple different ways to make sure we understood. I hardly ever studied more than 20 minutes, right before an assessment.

Dr. G is the best professor! He is so funny and makes lecture entertaining. Your grade is only made up of quizzes and exams but he does his best to make sure you pass. You have to do the homework to practice the material. I passed this class with an A+ and I know you can too! He is super willing to help whenever you have questions.

Prof. Gunsul records live lectures twice a week for his online students (this effort is appreciated, as most teachers use old videos) and walks you through the chapters. Very good at explaining things. Responds to questions in a timely manner and is very friendly and helpful. I hate math, he made it easy!

It took a while to adjust to the quiz & exam grading system but became manageable throughout the semester. Best math teacher I've had, breaks down difficult concepts easily and is accessible after class. Exams aren't too bad as long as you keep up with the chapters. Overall great professor who shows a passion for teaching math.

Professor Gunsul is probably one of the best math professors at RVC. You do not get homework in the class but you do get quizzes and tests. Quizzes are usually twice a week; he properly prepares you for them and they no longer than 5 questions each. He tells you in class his tests are problems that can be found in the book, same with quizzes.
