I would take nay math course this instructor teaches. He's that good. He teaches the concept of a strong foundation in math. The HW is designed to give you repetition, but in a boring way. A very interesting individual to talk too. If you try hard and are punctual w/ your papers, you should have no problems. A rare find in OWC!

We had Mr. Hovanec f/the 1st 2 mnths of the sem, then he became ill that took him out for the remainder. However, f/the time that we had Pete, I would definitely take another class with him when he returns to OWC. His methods, while a bit unusual, were clear and concise.

Mr H was extremely laid back. He offers an exempt from final exam if you go into it with 96% or better. How cool is that? Has a tendency to go off topic often- and I was not always sure of what he was talking about or how it related to material being covered. Overall-it was straight. If you study the practice test you will rock all exams.

If you need to take stats, i would severely suggest mr hovanec for quite a few reasons! 1. He doesnt act like everyone in the class has PHd's in Stats. 2. He is extremely fair, Understanding and Laid Back. 3. His Reviews for the test are almost identical to review so you know what will be on test and you will be able to ask questions before hand.

Professor Havonec was a great instructor. Class lectures often just consisted of going over the homework and learning new material. I took this class 10 yrs after leaving high school with no math since, and he was very helpful. Often stayed after for help if needed. Gives credit for partial work, Would Take again.

I had took Mr. H for Prep Math II, and he was very helpful and nice. He would stay after class was over if you needed help. I had fun in his class. I would recommend him first for math.

Hovanec is awesome and a really easy grader. Everyone who tries in his class passes. He makes you want to be in class because he's so interesting. Homework is graded by participation and you get 3 or 4 questions per lesson. Tests are easy and he gives reviews that look like the test.

Mr. H is THE BEST Math teacher of NWFSC!! I took him for College Algebra and made an "A". His class consist of 3 Test & 1 Final. HW from text book & Aleks (Easy) and classwork which you can work with a group of friends. I took his class during the 2015 Fall semester. He is freakin hilarious & he'll make you smile. Trust me. Just take his class.

A great professor all semester and this is the first time I've ever been sad a class has ended. His tests actually are on material we covered, I'm not sure why this is rare nowadays! Im definitely going to see if I can get in another one of his classes

I had to retake College Algebra because I previously got a D, I made an A in Mr. H's class! He is very laid back and takes an interest in his students. He takes time to make sure everyone understands. His review for tests are so helpful and he doesn't give an overwhelming amount of homework. I will be taking him again if I get a chance.

Mr. H is awesome! I had severe testing anxiety and he worked with me. He really wants all his students to pass. I got an A with studying. If you study the class will be enjoyable if not it will be hard to catch up.

Great class. Although the class might seem slow at first, he is a very good teacher and will help you with anything you need if you just ask. Would recommend taking him for any math class.

Literally the absolute best teacher ever. The only professor who ive had that actually takes the time to learn his students names and help them with anything no matter what. If you simply show up and pay attention, you will pass. Very little homework, very easy tests (exactly like the study guide and super simple questions) Highly highly recommend!

Mr. Hovanec is great. He cares about if a student is understanding the material hes teaching and always makes it a priority to ask if anyone has questions after each new thing you learn in lecture. We go over everything we learn so many times that if you really take the time to pay attention, you will totally understand. And hes also funny!

While taking him online he would load a video each week have you do a couple of HW and Quizzes. We had about 4 test including final. Of you take notes even if its an online class you will pass. His examples are so close to the problems he gives. He always responds in a timely manner. You have 2 chances to to quizez and unlimited attempts for hw.

I took college algebra and pre cal with Mr. H. And he's awesome. He make math understandable so you don't see just a bunch of letters and numbers. He also explains how to use the calculator which has helped tremendously for those of us who haven't been in school for over 20 years and have only had to use the basic calculator.

Mr. H was awesome! I took his Trig class and his Math in Society. Both classes were great. Show up to his lectures!!! He will work out the modules with you and go over any questions. If you are ever confused, just go over the modules that are online. The math becomes much easier if you study and go over the resources he gives you. Great teacher.

I took College Algebra with Mr. H several years ago. His lectures were very informative. Math has always been hard for me but I didn't think I would be able to get the grade that I did without him helping me. Aside from that, he's very personable and witty, I would love to take another of his classes someday if I get the chance.
