Approach with caution. He moves extremely fast. Be ready to wake up at the crack of dawn to get a hold of him for office hours (like 6:45 am). Friendly yet it seemed like the first half of the semester his mind was elsewhere. You MUST be assertive and act quick when he asks if anyone has questions. He'll pause for a split second & move on.

A teacher who really cares about you understanding, if will always answer questions and make sure everyone understands. One of my favorite teachers that ive had. I WISH he would teach a higher math :( test were easy, what you see in class is what you see on the test. Hw packets he would pass out would be the same as the test, just different #s.

Mr. Russ is a terrific professor. Very funny and explains in ways you'll understand the work. If you hate math I promise you will love it after taking his class. Ill definitely take his class again if I could.

Mr Russell is such a cool professor. He cured me of my mathphobia. He's funny, always willing to answer questions and goes out of his way to make sure you understand the coursework. Like others have said here, I would love to take another class with him if he taught a higher math. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Professor Russell is such an amazing educator! I absolutely loathed math until I took his course, he is passionate about his craft and wants students to succeed. He assigns homework, however he only collects certain weeks. The first few weeks he does board problems then he has students take over, half of lab hrs are due by midterm. Take him!

He makes sure everyone understands the lesson. The assignments are very easy, they mostly come from the textbook so yes, you do need to get the textbook. Routine in Learn 49: warm ups, review lesson, and practice word problems. As long as you show up and do all the work and pass the exams, you'll do great!

Mr. Russell was an amazing teacher who got me back on my feet in Math. Never before had I understood Math as much as I did as when I left. If you need a refresher, he's a good choice.

This is my very first math class here and I love him. I enjoy his lectures and how he put examples, so that we can learn the concept better. He make hilarious jokes about his wife. He want you to pass and not fail. If you study hard enough you will defiantly pass. Ive struggle at math my whole life and his method of teaching made me understand it.

Awesome instructor!!! I recommend this professor, especially if you find math challenging. He is patient, detailed with explaining, provides practice work for test and homework, wants to make sure you understand, gives shortcuts, and syllabus is accurate. You receive points for hw assignments and make sure to get your lab hours for extra credit.

He is great. I very much enjoyed being in his class. I took his class in an Intersession, so there was a lot of homework, but it was reasonable and necessary to understand what is being taught.

He is a very kind teacher. He makes class easy to learn. He makes jokes especially about his wife but not in a mean way. His assignments are not hard and the tests are also easy to pass. He will give assignments such as labs , they're just problems from the textbook. If you want an easy A take his class.

He is a great teacher. His grading is very clear on his syllabus. Prof. gives you extra credit options through participation. Honeslty, i'm not a math person and he made me feel so confident in math world problems that I now enjoy them. That alone should say alot. Plus he makes alot of jokes.

He was absolutely a great math teacher. Very clear and always want the class to pass by respecting students questions and being so patient showing us over and over. He is also hilarious which helps, but you need to pay attention or you will miss his funnies and his points.
