I liked him. However, if you are looking for a teacher to give you all the answers - he will not do it. He makes you work and wants you to understand why you are doing what you are doing. I also enjoyed the online portion of the class.

Was awesome! I feel a lot better prepared for the rest of the math i have to take. had a lot of math anxiety before this class and he really worked with me to help me get this stuff. would definitely take another one of his classes.

He was the best. i wish i could take it next semester

great

this teacher is freaking awesome if you want to sign up for his class gotta do it fast r you are SOL!!

He is an excellent teacher. Math used to be my hardest subject, but now I actually like it. You have to study, and bring in questions. You earn your grade, he has no bias, you truly get what you earned. He is the best math teacher I have had. If you make the effort, he will help you.

This class is not easy, you have to make an effort. Willett is very helpful and the best math teacher I have had. Class is not mandatory, which means its on you to attend. If you study then It's almost impossible to fail so long as you know how to do the work. You truly earn your own grade in this class. I recommend him. STUDY, LEANR & PASS!

Great teacher in my opinion, he described things different from the book which helps a lot rather than just reciting info outta the book

First teacher who could get me through this class!

Great professor. He lets the students choose what problems to go over in class. If no questions, he keeps up with the schedule given on the first day of class. All work is done online. He dosen't take roll, so you you don't have to be in class unless there is a midterm or final. I suggest going as often as possible because he grades on a curve.

He was great! Altough he does have a attitude problem. Other than that he amazing. The best math teacher I've ever had. Going to class isn't a requirment but it's very helpful if you do go. He's a cool guy and makes sure everyone understands the work

First of all, his class is listed as a regular course, but all the homework is online. He is a good math professor though. A little bit of attitude but will stick with students who are having trouble and learn how to speak up. Want to make sure everyone gets it. Doesn't create a great learning atmostphere, but really knows his math.

He will explain everything to you till. you. get. it. :) I love this guy! Hes humorous, HELLA nice,super chill & grades on the good type of a curve! He doesn't explain much of the new sections during the 1st time introducing them, but he goes over them the next day with the hw Qs. HW is all online& always due on sundays too.

He is extremely helpful. If you talk to him during office hours, he will explain concepts to you until you understand it. He took over my MATH-191 class as a sub for half a semester, and I learned much more from him than from the previous teacher. Definitely recommend him.

This teacher is so good in explaining. It's him that gives me hope to learn, haha. Because I learned the same things in high school, struggling like crazy. And coming to this class had me think I would go through hell again but his teaching methods are so clear and efficient, a few problems will have you understand the concepts instantly.

I like this teacher. He is humorous, and he helps students who has any trouble. The truth is that he gives A's to those students who worth it.

Your grade is based on online homework assignments and 4 in class midterms plus a final. Although he grades exams on a curve, don't rely on it too much, as the class progresses, the "dumb" people who lower the curve drop out making it more competitive. Nice guy and very helpful even during office hours. Go to class prepared with questions!

I had mr. willett for math 110 and 120. He is an excellent teacher. He is great at explaining things, he relates complex problems to simple things you have hopefully have already learned. All work is online, and if you make stupid mistakes like me, you can go to his office and he will correct them. All around I think he is an awesome teacher!

loved his class.

Had for Calculus 1. He is a great instructor and teacher, he will explain and re-explain concepts repeatedly in a very clear, concise manner. My only complaint is that his tests are very hard and very heavy in regards to theory. I will try to avoid his classes, only due to his tests. But I won't lose sleep over it if I have to have him again.

A great teacher for those who value understanding the ideas behind math instead of just memorizing a process. If your major/career is math heavy, pick this teacher. His lucid and energetic teaching style has probably converted countless business majors into math majors.

Professor Willet tore down my perception of reality, but revealed to me the opportunity to build it back up as something greater. Amazing teacher. His tests are incredibly hard, but his curve is very fair, so it's not a big deal. He truly cares that all of his students understand the concept behind the math, rather than just the procedure. TAKE HIM

He is a good professor. You can see that he cares about students understanding the concepts. His lecture isn't intense, he gives you a general idea about the concepts and expects you understand them thoroughly by doing the homework. He is really helpful and has a lot of office hours.

Mr. Willett is an awesome teacher! One of the best I've ever had in any subject. He really wants to help you understand the material and pass the class. He really works hard to make you feel comfortable asking questions even if you think its a dumb one. Hard class though. Be ready to work at it. Class was full on day one, only 18 left now.

Really a wonderful instructor. His lectures are clear and easy to understand. He really knows his Math 120 and explains it well. If you have difficulties, go and see him during his office hours. Between his lectures and online assignments, I learnt a lot. . Only drawback...his math 120 is at 7 am. sometimes I am so sleepy!!!!!!!

Took Math 120 class last semester. His lectures are organized and clear. What I did not get, I'd ask for help from him or Math Lab. He cares about his students and he treats his students like an adult. He does not take attendance but if you don't show, it's your loss.

He really sets up the class so that you make what you want out of it. He gives you the opportunity to learn if you follow his advice about the class, take it seriously and ask for help if you need it. But if you don't do homework, study and ask questions, you will do miserably in his class.

Has good intentions but can be rude at time and funny at others. Not really the professor to have a conversation with about anything other than math though. He teaches broad topics and makes you understand why things are happening and then expects you to teach yourself through practice how to do problems.

Best math teacher I've had at DVC. Makes you practice to master material, teaches you what to think about to solve a problem, not just a procedure. He's always helpful in answering questions, fantastic in explaining the material. He's also really funny during lectures. Tests are no joke. They really expand on ideas, not just math procedures.

One of the best proffesors i had. He gives weekly online homework,but is not that hard. Show up in class, don't fall behind with homework and you'll get an A.

His lectures are concise, clear and illuminating. You must be willing to work hard to understand the underlying concepts so that you can apply them to problems. And the problem you get on tests do not necessarily come from homework questions or class examples! So in other words his tests are very, very hard. Very helpful in office hours.

I don't even know how I passed this class. Willet is really tough. Sure his exams are on a generous curve but people still failed them, that's how hard they were. He gave a 10pt ec question at the end of each test, and people still failed! He's helpful, and a little bit of a genius, but his class is just so hard. take someone else if you can.

i took his MATH120 class and it was pretty good! he's an awesome teacher! easily to ask for help, if you reach 90 and above score in quizzes he will turn it to 100, but you should come see him in his office to do that, very precise in his lectures, learned a lot, tricky exams but really if u study hard, those tricky question arent really hard FR!

Class was online. Prof. Willett didn't provide any lectures. Learning was from the text book and MyMathLab. Prof Willett did provide periodic written exams. These exam questions were not similar to the online tests. It was a challenging course. You needed to understand concepts. Next time, I will take a normal math class from Prof Willett.

TAKE HIM! He's sympathetic to people who've taken stats before, so let him know if you have. Lots of online h.w. Gives one extra credit question on each test. There were several group projects, which by the end of the semester, he didn't have time to grade, so he gave 100%. TESTS ARE MULTIPLE CHOICE! Graded on a curve. FinalNOT multiple choice!!!

Best mathematics professor I have ever had. I had not take math for 4 years & gaining the confidence to acquire the skills needed for algebra was simple, thanks to his patience with the entire class. He made sure that we understood WHAT the problem is asking and WHY we take the steps to find the answer. Not sure why some students think otherwise...

Guy's solid. Always trying to get people to take help. Always there when I had a question. If you're gonna take an online class, his was very well organized.

Mr. Willet was very clear with his explanations of concepts, and he was usually able to explain things in at least 2 ways. He was even willing to allow students to skip ahead in his online homework if they knew the material, although the book and program he used let him down as I found it difficult to do the online portion of his homework.

He let me add the class late after other teachers wouldn't allow me to do the same. Attendance was not mandatory, which helped because I also work, but I fell behind on hw which led me to get a C. There is a generous makeup period after the online deadlines close. I would suggest going to class with questions otherwise you're wasting your own time.

Awesome teacher. Super helpful and nice. I missed my midterm and he used my final to assign a grade for it. Opens all assignments and tests during finals week so you can re-do whatever you want to bring your grade up. Grades on a curve. Allows graphing calc for tests plus a page of notes. He just wants you to learn the math. Would highly recommend.

Though the test is hard, professor teaches claerly. The professor likes to make fun. I always find some emoji on my test paper. And he sometimes draws one after the hard question in lecture.

Professor Willet is a lot of fun, he explains the topics really well and truly wants you to do well in his class.

Willett is a Class guy. The fact that he curves on his tests just makes the class way less stressful than it needs to be. Overall if you have the opportunity to take him. Do it. Because hes a great guy.

Professor Willet does give out a lot of homework, but it never felt out of line for the rest of the department, and he gives lots of opportunities to ask for help before the deadline. His tests are difficult, but his curve is very generous. He feels like a teacher that wants you to succeed, and you only have yourself to blame if you don't.

NO HOMEWORK. This Professor is hands down one of the best professors at DVC if you are looking to learn. He wants his students to not only know the material, but understand the concept behind it. However.. He prepares us with medium difficulty questions in class, but the test is HARD. I am pretty good at math but DAMN this guy makes you wanna die.

I'd say he is ok. I mean, tests are really difficult, but if you get all A's in the tests, you get to skip the final, which is awesome. Also pretty accessible outside class. Make sure you actually do some googling outside of class & you'll at least get a B. Key is, he tests your conceptual understanding.

You DON'T know 'HARD' until you take this professor. Literally felt like KMS during this course. Homework is tough but his tests are next level. It's like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. He curves. Only 4/35 ppl get As in this class. His lectures are really good tho. He wants to challenge ur deeper understanding. Only take if ur Good at Math!

Tough, but fair. All test questions and homework came from Pearson online software. Typical cc grading criteria of "if you show up and work hard you get an A" does not apply; you need to know the material to get the grade. If you need an easy A for transfer take with another prof. He has office hours nearly every day for an hour. Very accessible.

I don't know how he teaches his online class but his in-person class was a great first college experience. Although attendance is not required I recommend you do attend classes because he teaches thoroughly and answers questions well. All homework is done online with Pearson and supplies you with a calculator that basically does everything for you.

Willett is a solid teacher for Elementary Statistics. A fun guy who definitely knows what he's talking about. Gave lots of examples during his lectures and took time to help everyone. I had two online classes a week with him. He assigned one 40 question homework and one 10 question quiz each week. Semester ended with a simple final project

Definitely one of the best math teachers I have every had during the most challenging time of my life -- Calculus! Long story short communicate with him & put in the praactice & you WILL PASS

The best part of Professor Willet's class was that all the lectures were online, which made it an almost asynchronous class. However, he still had lectures in person that you could attend. Almost the entire course was on my stat lab.

Petter Willett is an amazing professor, though any math course is difficult, don't be afraid to ask questions, you won't be happy with your score if you're too afraid. In Prof. Willett's class, you must attend office hours, because that's where you can have that one-on-one interaction where he can clear things up early before you take a midterm.

The class was structured well, however, the midterms were pretty brutal but they were curved. He was kind and patient in person when I took the tests. Statcrunch is crucial to the course and I found it helpful not having to memorize those equations. His lectures I found really thorough and nice. Lots of work and time consuming but taught well.

Lectures were helpful because of in-depth explanations and practice problems that we worked through. My challenge was that Mr. Willet would alter between Pearson and his own curriculum in lecture, which put gaps in my understanding of online Pearson hw. Exams were difficult, but honestly very rewarding. He cares about your journey to the answer.
