This professor is super-helpful and his lectures are great. He demonstrates how to do everything several times and uses a TI 83 calculator with a display so you can see everything step by step. He is very approachable and doesn't make you feel stupid if you don't get it the first time.

Awesome teacher. Makes Math fun and is really helpful. Has a great sense of humor and is really a hot teacher so far at GWC.

He is really good. he teaches very well. You get the cocept in his class clearly. I had him in my Trig class. I wish I could have him again in my future classes. Make sure you take his classes. Highly recommended.

Great instructor! Very helpful and enjoys a good laugh in class. He is easy going and doesn't make you feel stupid if you don't get it at first.

Great teacher ect. Not that it's a bad thing but you better really know your stuff for the tests. Problems are sometimes harder than the book. He doesn't take points away if you make stupid mistakes which is nice. Don't take this class if you just need a 100 level class, take him for something else.

One thing i know thatis he never teach cal before (:

i have no idea also, he seems very nice though, but he goes over the materials very quick. hopefully he will hint us what to expect whenever there is a quiz or test.

GREAT TEACHER!! He is very helpful and does not make you feel stupid. I have always had trouble with math, but he helped me alot and now I get A's in math. If your schedual allows take him. He is funny too, which makes the class go fast.

Pete (that is what he has you call him) is a very east going and good mathematics instructor. Always willing to help out in any way necessary if you need it. If more math teachers were like him, perhaps math would be a more popular subject (insted of one people dread). I will take him for another course if possible.

he goes over the work enough for the person who really needs the help. he is clear on the material and makes it fun for the students. other than that i really liked pete. by the way he likes lollipops :)

I like this teacher because I'm finally passing this class. It took me 3 times but im getting a C. I understand him because he understands the subject and we use the calculator and its just easy to understand now. And he actually speaks English!!! Its alot of homework and projects but they are worth it because they will bring up your grade.

wow stats is hard! but he is avilable for help and translates the book nicely.

man this class was challenging. kinda interesting because it relates to life. but after awhile you get burnt out with all the different tests that you have to determine and solve.

He is resonable man, and his lecture is well prepared. Show your interest and hard study, he will help you get the grade you want. I study really hard, do all homework every single one of them. his tests are reasonale not too hard but not a piece of cake! I recomemded

Good statistics teacher... clear & to the point. Professional manner slightly questionable, but overall nice and helpful.

Take His Class. Very good and clear. Welling to help and explain futher more then he has to. Since this class use ReYCarr software, DON"T SKIP lecture!

As long as you go to class and pay attention the tests are not hard. Tests are just like quizzes that we have every week. He only goes over the things that you need to know. Homework online is relatively easy since it's multiple choice. He is pretty realistic in his expectations.

The subject is boring but he does try to make it intersting. Very helpful, and if you attend lecture and take good notes then the tests and quizes are pretty easy.

he's okay. his quizzes are not that hard if you study. as long as you do the homework packets, quizzes, and tests (he lets you drop one) you're fine. there's a final exam, and if you don't take it, you fail. even if you have a high grade. and he doesn't give extra credit.

This is not the easiest class, Math is never easy...but if u go to class everyday and get help as soon as u need then u will be fine....

Bouzar's lectures are pretty clear. If you attend class like you should, you will pass. Homework is done online and quizzes/tests aren't that hard, so study!

This is not an easy subject. You must study and be prepared every day. Pete is very fair. If you do your part, he is very good. If you skip class (as some did), then you think he sucks... He's a very effective teacher. He's kinda funny and very engaging. Best of all, he is a native english speaker. Plus he's kinda cute.

His class is not hard if you attend classes, read text, do hw, & study. However, if you're not good at stats or math.. you might struggle. He's a very nice funny teacher though. He'll try really hard to clarify any confusions you have. This is not a "wing it" class. You will need to study.

I also took this class over winter intercession...I don't recommend it all. IMO I don't think they should of offer it during winter. I thought he was friendly, helpful but not realistic. He also uses the calculator alot and that is nice. His quizzes and test covered stuff not on the lecture and they were not easy. So Study!

He is very helpful and very good at explaining the concepts.If you study well and do your homwork regularly then you won't find his classes or quizes difficult. DEVANI

his class is hard. on the day of the final, i had a 72.2% and walked out of the class with a 67.6%, and i studied like crazy. his tests are hard, and drop your grade significantly.

i never bought the book and just bought the code so i could do the HW. the hw is a lot harder than the stuff that is gone over in class. it seems like the people that make the book creates the in-class slides and he uses that. however he creates the tests so for me the tests weren't as hard as HW. he's helpful and is funny in a sarcastic way.

Very easy going and willing to help.

Mr. Bouzar is an excellent professor, in my opinion. He cracks jokes often in lecture, while still engaging in the curriculum. He can be a little harsh in reference to health-oriented manners.. If you do not have a doctor's note provided, do not expect leniency. Though, he's always willing to assist his students in class and afterwards.

He is a good teacher!Funny sometimes...I loved going to his class.

He is not as bad. You can understand what he is saying. He does not make you learn the statistics the long handed way (like some teachers would), and just shows you how to do it on the calculator. Sats is hard because there is a lot of material and it can be boring, but Bouzar is not as unreasonable as some of these reviews state.

THIS IS VERY TOUGH CLASS. If you don't need to take Stats, avoid it like the plague. If so, this class requires a lot of work so schedule accordingly. Bouzar...he's not a bad teacher; he knows his stuff but don't expect him to hold your hand through it. If you have a question, ask. Otherwise he will keep on moving through the material.

He's a good teacher. Yes, it's a hard class and a lot of work is involved, but he explains everything well. And this is coming from someone who is horrible in Math. Ask him questions. Go to his office hours. He's a nice guy. Don't let the other reviews taint your opinion.

Not an easy class but Prof. Bouzar is fair and helpful. Every time I've gone to his office hours, he is very helpful and generous with his time. The subject matter for most (myself included) can be difficult but Prof. Bouzar is a good teacher and fair. I think the poor ratings are from people who were bummed they couldn't get an easy A or B.

Fair teacher. Not for anyone looking for an easy A. If you do the work and ask questions you're troubled with you'll be fine.

He's not that tough of a prof. Your grade depends on the effort you put into work ethic and study - timely pacing and practicing on your own makes at least a B. Exams and quizzes are exactly what he teaches and hw is easy online. I struggled a bit with the material, but ended up with an A. STUDY.

You have to work a lot on your own in order to master problems. If you ask, he's always willing to explain, but not much in class. Since he has to cover the material and won't stop, you have to ask him after class.

He is funny, ready to answer everything you ask. Sometimes his solutions are more complicated than student's but if you explain it clearly, he will accept it. Sometimes gives group quizes if you ask for. Quizes everyday, tests at the end of each chapter. HW are checked when u are taking the tests. Easy grading, especially at half-end of the semester. If you can do all hw by yourself, you'll get an A. I hope I will get an A+ ^^!

He is a great teacher. Sometimes he gives group quiz (for difficult lesson). attendance is extremely important, for quiz on every class. His grading is great, he gives you credit if you go on the right way but you do it wrong at algebra.

He is a good teacher. He teaches exactly what will be on quizzes and tests and is willing to help if you have questions. It is important to make it to class everyday and do homework if you want to do well. Don't be expecting an easy A.

Amazing professor! His clarity in speaking and explaining the concepts of beginning algebra were right on! He's brutally honest and sometimes that intimidates the students-however, he's the best. Take him, you won't regret it.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about-as a former student of his I could honestly say that he was the best individual I have come across who teaches math in an easy to understand manner. I would take him again had I the chance. ADVICE? PAY ATTENTION! ASK QUESTIONS! STUDY STUDY STUDY! Math requires hard work...Not an easy A-work for it!

it's math, what can you expect! Just practice a lot. Pete is super cool. He's to cover a lot of material so he goes fast. 4 exams, quizzes every week. No hard, but you can easily screw up if you miss a sum, or symbol. just stay focus. Overall, it's a good class. On related news Pete is damn fine so it's hard to concentrate.

I wanted to set the record straight. I've been in college for 6 years (I'm on the 20 year plan). I've taken a lot of classes with a lot of different teachers and have changed my major. Pete is by far the best teacher I've ever had at GWC. YOU WILL LEARN in this class. He has a great sense of humor, makes class enjoyable. SIT IN THE FRONT!

Best math prof so far. He's strict in grading,so do not expect an easy A. Attendance is mandatory because quiz every other meeting. However, pay attention to the lecture, stick with the guide he gives before each exam, ask him whatever you're not clear then u will definitely get an A

Do not listen to the people who say he is a bad Professor. The content of the class is what is difficult, but if you attend all classes and do the homework you will be fine. I am not a math person at all and only took the class because it is a nursing pre-req, but I was able to get an A.

I don't get why people are saying he's a bad or difficult teacher - math is a tough subject, but he is an excellent teacher. He's very helpful and will explain things multiple times if you need him to - he will come around and help you specifically so you don't feel stupid asking questions in front of everyone. Attendance is mandatory.

Pete Bouzar was a great teacher. I took his summer math 30 class and he knows his stuff. If you don't go to class, you're only hurting yourself. His lectures are clear and concise. Quizzes and tests are on everything he lectures on, so it's never off the wall or confusing. Go to class, take notes, do the homework.

This teacher gets a bad rap. He is nice and helpful if you want help and are making an effort in the class. Math is a difficult subject. I liked how he walked us through each step to each kind of problem and stopped and answered questions if we had any. The tests are difficult, but go to class because he gives random worksheets for points.

Mr. Bouzar is a great teacher he is also the department head here at GWC. He knows his stuff. A lot of people don't like him because he has a strong personality. If you attend classes regularly do your MML homework and actually pay attention and participate he will be more than wiling and HAPPY to help you.

He's a GREAT teacher, he goes through each step thoroughly and tries his best to make sure everyone understands. Keep in mind that this is college and the teachers aren't going to baby you, yes, this is a "beginners class" but you are expected to know the basics. He can be cynical, and if you make stupid remarks you will be called out for it.

Bouzar is a good professor. He does try and go step by step Cleary to ensure everyone understands. However, at times he can rush/cram some work within the last 30 minutes of class (not cool!). However, he is helpful (and handsome) for the most part. JUST STAY ON HIS GOOD SIDE & you'll be fine :) I would definitely take him again!

Taking this professor for a summer course. In my opinion, awesome professor. Very chill. The material is really tough/heavy. You will struggle with quizzes/exams if you don't do the homework. Exams are very difficult, but fair. Lessons are clear, and he's very willing to answer your questions. Grading is fair. I will look to take him for Calc III.

His test are REALLY HARD. I think only one person got an A in his class. I was rank 2 and had a pretty high B so that means the other person probably has an A. Anyway, his class is fun and interesting, its just his test is such a turn off. Its pretty difficult. You would have to do extra problems then the assigned hw to understand the class.

Its a tough class so youve got to do the work. His lectures are clear. Challenging tests but graded fairly. He makes a relaxed learning environment.

Took Bouzar for Calc1 and passed. I feel this instructor did a great job in preparing me for Calc2. Be prepared to do the work for the grade. Great teacher.

Cool teacher. Tells you what to know for tests and willing to help if you show effort. Lectures made it easy to pass. My friend took him for math 185 and he passed and I plan to take him for that class too.

Had him a year ago and passed because he tells you what to expect for each test. Just studied for the tests and did some homework. I didn't think he was hard but its Calculus. so its hard anyways. judge for yourself.

Tough class with lots of content but he explains and simplifies it. Tests are challenging but fair. He'll tell you what to expect for each test but you have to know how to work the problems.

Hard class but he's fair and undesrstandable. Goes a bit fast. Tests are tough but he'll tell you what's going to be on it.

The quizzes and tests are hard but the quizzes are not worth that many points and he pulls the hardest questions for the test from the quizzes. He is very fair and you know what to expect if you pay attention.

He's a good teacher and fair. Willing to help you if you show effort but don't expect hand-holding. Makes sure you're ready for each test and grades fairly. Homework was automatic credit as long as you do about 10 problems. I've heard he'll cut you some slack if you stick it out.

Good teacher. No claas quizzes. Grades fairly and helpful.

Great teacher. Would take again....

No quizzes. Enuf said!

Fair teacher that tries to make it as easy as possible but its CALCULUS, so ... You will have to do the work to pass, of course but he'll help you if you go to office hours.

Taking him over the summer and yeah, its hard but he teaches really well and is cool. The tests are challenging but lets you have some partner quizzes. No homework collected but if you don't do it, you're screwed. Good luck!

yep I finally couldn't put off the class dreaded by all business majors any longer so I took the 8 week long bus calc summer course w Pete. O K business calc isn't "easier" than calculus, it's just less in-depth. Pete is VERY clear though & I wouldn't have been able to pull off the A with anyone else! DO the hmwk & STUDY *Pete likes island jams*

Bouzar was a good and fair teacher. No complaints. It was a good class.

it's pretty easy if you study well. don't over think alot of ppl did that and got confused

Though I may have gotten a C in his class, he is honestly one of the best professors at GWC. He is not difficult, you just gotta make sure you do your homework (including sections eventhough it is not required) and study consistently for weekly quizzes. If you need to take Calculus or Linear Algebra trust me, YOU WILL LEARN A LOT from Pete Bouzar.

Its a different kinds math class but he makes it uderstandable. It does require lots of out of class time. Drops the lowest test that helped. Online quizzes are easy.

This professor did a great job at explaining the procedures of statistic analysis and its applicability to the real world. Despite being a math course, he did find ways to be humorous in his approaches to teaching. He does his lectures pretty quickly so active listening and reading the chapter before the lecture is pretty important.

Tough class but he tries to make it as easy as possible. You have to read and be ready for his classes. Don't expect to learn everything in class. Seems intimidating but is helpful if you meet with him during office time.

Not like any algebra class and he makes it understandable but it's still hard. You can pass if you do all the online homework and quizzes. Tests are tough but so is the subject. Grading is fair though.

He cares about his students, but covers it up with a lot of attitude. A lot. But will try his best to answer questions. Think of a decent burger, but it only has a bun and patty. Read the chapter before class.

He's not going to lecture the whole time so you bettr go in prepared. Tests are hard but the cvlass overall is hard. Not like algebra which was a waste of time. Don't take him if you aren't ready to do the work.

His expectations are very clear with this class. There are online homework assignments and online quizzes every week, but there are an unlimited tries available for homework and 2 tries for each quiz, so it is not difficult at all to do well. Besides that the tests are straightforward and aren't tricky. He covers all the material exceptionally well

I liked this class because your entire grade was based on quiz and test scores. If you read beforehand and do the homework on time, you should find the lectures very helpful. He also does a great job of explaining complex, abstract linear algebra topics in layman's terms which is important if you are coming from a calculus class.

He is a good teacher, he is willing to explain and help if you ask him. His test isn't hard at much, all in what he teaches, no outside textbook. I love it. You should practice more homework by yourself if you want to get a high score on the test. Moreover, he also gives extra points for your participation in the class. I'll take his cal 2 .

Hard class but he gives lots of opportunities to do well. Drops the lowest test and a bunch of group quizzes.

Cal1 is not easy but prof. Bouzar made it less headache. All I can recommend are: - don't skip class, every class content offers important & progressive info for tests to the end of the class. - practice as many problems he recommends from his hand-out or textbook (which is PDF and FREE). - group study is highly recommended.

1. Zero textbook cost 2. Very friendly, ready to answer any math problems before class time, during break, or after class, or even when he is lecturing 3. Study group highly recommend 4. This class has embedded tutor 5. 10 Group quizzes (1 extra credit individulal quiz), 3 Exams, 1 Finals Caution: His quizzes are hard as the test level KhanhCavity

Study the practice stuff he posts and you can pass. Group quizzes and no homework.

Professor Bouzar is a caring and quick responsive professor. This is a VERY hard class, hardest class I have EVER taken, but that does NOT make him a bad professor. I studied night&day for a good grade in this class. It's simple. DO the work, PUT in the time, you will get the grade you desire. The time you put in determines the results you get.

Great Professor, work hard and you will do well. His tests are hard but manageable and are the majority of your grade. No homework but if you want a good grade you better be doing problems outside of class. Study group and tutoring should taken advantage of.

Stats was hard but I learned a lot. He made us understand it and not just calclate stuff. Lots of online homework and reading but you can get it done.

hardets class ive taken. we had to do lots of online reading and homework but was due on weekends. also a online quiz on weekends.

He delayed releasing my semester grade on my transcript. Everything else is perfect

Calc 2 is easily one of the hardest math classes I've ever taken. This class is very high paced and very strenuous itself. Be ready for 3 midterms and 1 final and quizzes. Pete's teaching style is very fast paced so be prepared to keep up. However, if you ever need help he's always willing to explain and help you if you speak up.

I was quite nervous taking Pete's class after reading his reviews. However, now that I have had the chance to get to know him as a teacher, I realize that he is one of the best out there. He cares about the success of his students and is always willing to help you. Be warned, he expects a lot from you. Just put in the work and it will pay off!

Great professor breaking down the math to steps. Still made us work for the grade but group quizzes helps.

All online. Lots of assignments and if you do all of them but only do ik on quizzes, you'll pass like me. I didnt like the discussions and barely did them.

He explains things as simple as can be but the problems are long and he wants you to show some work but you can use graphing calculator too. Group quizzes every week but tests are hard. It challenged me which I think is great. Not for everyone.

I took Cal 1, Cal 2 and Linear Algebra with him. His lecture is on point. He's always willing to clarify the confusion. Of course, not the silly questions. Math's always challenging. Test is heavy. Do homework for your own sake. Group quizzes are easy credits. Half of my 285 was online, it was hard but he was available online everyday to reach out.

The summer stats class was probably the easiest thing i've done. All i did was the homework and weekly quizzes. I did afew discussion posts too but pretty easy. If you don;t do your work, then you probably won't pass. otherwise it's pretty basic. do your work and you'll pass.

very straightforward with what's on upcoming quizzes and exams and overall, cares a lot abt his students. Participation does matter a lot tho (stressed) so ask him questions bc he will rlly try his best to answer. online quizzes and exams are open notes for now during covid, but srsly STUDY UP and PRACTICE DAILY for at least an hour or two.

Took his Precalc in summer & it was all online, with no meetings at all and you go at your own pace. Read ~1-2 chapters a week. Then do a discussion and quiz released on Friday but you can also wait until Sunday. Doesn't teach & you read from an online textbook, which most of the time is so boring, or you can watch other professors teach you.

He made the class easy by only having 2 assignments per week, open note quizzes, no midterms or final exam.

Easier than any other stats class and no cost for any materials. no online homework, no midterms or finals, open notes quizzes and a discussion each week.

You can't pass this class, you don't belong in stats. No tests and lots of extra credit points. No homework or cost for online program that other teachers use.

No textbook or access code to buy. The class is FREE using posted notes, videos, and other resources. You will be doing most of the learning by reading reference textbooks and watching videos. Weekly quiz and discussion is all you have to do. No midterms, final exams, or projects.

Stats is a hard class to learn online and he doesn't give online lectures. The good thing is there's only 1 discussion and 1 quiz each week. You can use your notes but it doesn't help if you don't spend time learning the material. Don't take this class if you can't commit to reading and watching videos to learn anything. Good Luck.

Got an A in this class since all we had to do is 1 quiz and 1 discussion each week. No midterm and final exams worth 1000 points. Discussions were mostly activities and pretty much got full credit for doing them. I'm a psychology major and this class has prepared me for research methods class.

Weekly quiz and discussion. No cost for book or access code and no respondus. Hard class but he explains things to make it easy. You still have to read and do the work.

The first hard college class ive taken and got a C. Professor only gives a quiz and a discussion every week and he teaches you the tricks but it was still hard to learn. Not like an algebra class and requires critical thinking. If you're not used to that, then you'll struggle. No access codes or homework to do either. Maybe there should be.

Tough class but only has a quiz and discussion each week. No homework. He explains things and shows you how to calculate the easiest ways.

Took this class online with no lectures. He uses his own fill-in notes and posted videos but you can also read the free textbook if you want. No homework is collected but just a quiz and discussion activity each week that is on canvas. I did go to his office a few times and he was helpful but i had to teach myself with the notes he has posted.

Not an easy class and only graded on a weekly quiz and discussion activity. No access codes or respondus for quizzes since you can use your notes. He does show you how to use the calculator so you don't have all the formulas to deal with. Still though, this was not a do-it-yourself class. Good luck!

I took the 8-week online class with this prof and got a B. He postes lecture notes and some videos that help you learn but you will be teaching yourself for the most part. I met with him a few times on zoom and he was very helpful but I did have to put in many hours to read, watch videos and work on the lecture notes. Good Luck.

This man gets it. Trig is hard, and a lot of us are not math majors. He explained things very simply, and did not give overwhelming tests to stress us out. He's always ready to help with any questions and if you feel you missed out on points then he will look over your work to give more credit. I wish I could take calc with him.

Took his class online during summer so I had to teach myself but he made it easy by only assigning an activity and a quiz each week due on canvas. Free textbook to read from and he posts lecture notes and helpful videos. Easy peasy.

Tough class, but manageable with the right tools. No lectures, just quizzes and discussions. The free textbook and unstuckstudy were a big help for me - would recommend using both to stay on top of the material.

Online class was tough but no access codes or homework. Just weekly quiz and activity assignment which took about an hour to do.

No homework system to sign up for. Only graded on weekly quiz and some activity questions. you can use AI and he's easy to understand. Online class was easy.

Very tough teacher but has a great curriculum.

If you put effort and have good time management, then that would be an easy A within this course. He is a good professor, and you should come by his office hours to make sure you understand the concept. I saw there are a lot of "false" comments about this professor, since they are not putting in the effort and good time management.
