He explains good and makes the test easy!!
Okay teacher, kinda of old fudy dud- goes really fast and make you feel stupid when you need to go over material again. Doesnt explain things very well but study guide for test are good.
He talks way too fast and is not a good teacher
Goes way to fast, then spends time explaing what you will learn in algebra 2 to show off his knowledge. He writes problems of the board and solves them as fast as he can, the acts like you are stupid if you have a question. He has a great knowledge of math, but lacks the ability to teach. This is coming form a student on the deans list.
omg. This techer is so easy. i took him and made an A w/out any effort. he's the easiest teacer i ever had. He lets u use the calc, even though in the sillabus it says ur not suppost to. easy teacher.
He explains the subject sufficiently. Anything you don't understand can easily be made clear by referencing the book. He provides EXCELLENT study guides for the tests. I'd recommend him.
Teahes with very clear method and easy to understand. Gives great examples to help understand how to work each problem.
I LOVE this teacher. Great pace of teaching. He teaches many different ways of solving a certain type of problem. He shows shortcuts. He believes in a calculator. Study the reviews and so most of the homework, you'll make an A. Don't study/hmwk?...lol well I know that one too, thank god he drops the lowest test grade lol (It was the 1st one).
Easy A. He is a excellent teacher!!He explains very well, his review is very helpful and makes the test easy!!
He's the best!!! very easy:] the reviews r great!
He is really easy teacher, no homework, you will get As if you follow him in the class, even the reviews before the tests.
He is a very from nice guy and if you have a questoin he will help and gives you extra points. I like him and going to take him againt his semester.
He was wonderful! Do NOT be afraid to ask questions; he loves them! No homework plus extra credit that helps you for the final is so easy! Even though attendance is not mandatory, it is best if you go everyday to really understand!
he is a great math teacher. he moves along quickly even in his remedial classes. he makes sure everyone knows what's going on but don't miss his class....you'll have to play catch up
this class i failed 2 out of the 3 test not including the final with F's & i passed the other with an B....the final i have no idea what i made && never did the lab and to my surprise i passed his class with a C...man god is good cause i have no idea how i did it..he's really nice..&& just task questions & you'll understand.take him twn & cntry
He is a professor but he lacks a motivation. I had an A but i had a hard time keeping up with him. IF U LOVE MATHS TAKE HIM, IF NOT DONT.
i had to cheat to pass this class it was extremely hard
good teacher
monotone, sounds uninteresting. doesn't explain and break down steps clearly. no homework. tests are half multiple choice have "show your work" for points. if you are not good at math, DO NOT take him.

Mr. Unruh teaches as if the student already knows what he is talking about. He does not go into detail and if you ask him a question his answer isn't any better than when he worked the problem in the first place. He speeds through each class like he wants to get out of there. He is a nice guy but not a good math teacher.
He teaches to the board and rushes through his lectures..He doesnt give u time to grasp a concept before moving on to a more difficult one. The only good thing is that he gives u bonus pt. b4 each exam and if u go and sign ur name in at the math club meetings u get more bonus pts. This semester I hve a total of 25 pts added to 3 tests.. good luck
WORST professor ever. DO NOT take. monotone. doesn't clearly explain step-by-step so it's hard to follow. when asking for help after/before class, he is still useless. if you're good at math then maybe taking him isn't that bad.. however if you're not good at math then don't risk your GPA. even his bonus points offers won't save you.
He teaches at an un-real pace, moving onto the next topic before anyone can truly grasp anything. He does drop the lowest test score, but allows for no make-up tests. The only time you see his face is when he enters the class. From there on out his back is to you while he writes on the board. At the end he still didn't know a single students name.
Very good professor. If you attend class and do the homework you should have no complaints. He will work any problem that you request and goes over the test reviews thoroughly if he thinks anyone is interested.
this guy is boring but just use your review on the test and you'll pass, at least that what i did haha!
i am sitting in his class now, and writting this which is not a good thing. but it professor does not explain things and has his own method of teaching. which you will get lost in so many levels. Always has his back towards you and no eye contact what so ever. NO JOKE do NOT take this professor!!! run the other way.
best teacher ever. ya'll sayin his awfull are either too dumb or just stupid. He gives reviews, goes over something u don't understand until u get it n drops the lowest grade.d reviews only differ 4rm d test by figures. Wat more do u want? exact copy of the test? screw u. he's awesome! i got an A!
Doesn't do much 'teaching' works problems out on the board at a frantic pace (don't be surprised if you can't even see what he is writing - as he stands directly in front of the board, his back completely to the class). Take this class only if you, for some reason, already have a background in calculus.
yeah, Dont take him unless your a math wiz. test are not multiple choice, and you must memorize allll formulas, you dont get a formula sheet.
I hate math and this guy makes it even worse. Almost failing his class. You have to work your ass off if u want to pass his class.
Most of the poor quality comments are true. However, this is math and math is not an easy subject. I took him for trigonometry and no I do NOT recommend him.
HE IS VERY EASY TEACHER BECAUSE HIS TEST ARE EXACTLY LIKE REVIEW. HE LET YOU TO USE FORMULA SHEET. JUST GO OVER REVIEW.
Ooh!!no!!!I so much hate this guy!!he don't know how to teach or what,,so suck!!
He is very easy!! His Review is just like the test!! He will answer any questions. He is easy going and nice teacher!!! I'm glad I took his class! Thank you, Mr. Unruh!!
Unruh is a good professor. He's really helpful and answers all questions. There are no quizes and homework is not graded. All tests free response except the final. He gives reviews exactly like the test and goes over the review the day before, What more could you ask for? Trig and Cal arent easy subjects so studying is required. I recieved an A
He is very helpful instructor. He tries to teach as much as he can and show the new technology in our class. He taght us how to use Maple14 . that was fantastic. he answer to any question with solving them for us. he is the wonderful teacher.
He helps you with any problems on homework and walks you through them. Sometimes he may teach a material one way and one way only and may be confusing for some students but overall its a really easy class. The watch it videos on webassign will teach you the whole course basically as well.
If youre good in math, take him. If your not too good at math, but need to take an algebra class next semester, RUN!! RUN!! RUN!!! Luckily i passed his class, but i had to study my butt off. On a positive note, his reviews are exactly like the test. Attendance is not an issue in his class, but i recommend it if youre not good at math.
Professor Unruh is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is at class on time and takes the time to actually have a "lesson plan" for the day and not just simply use the examples out of the book. He is not an easy A and I had to study a lot. If you are looking for a QUALITY professor that will help you actually "learn" the material. Take him
He is nice but useless! if you're not smart or dont like math,do not take him.He teaches very slow and solve the problem to himself..he sometime make mistake and confused the students. Im taking him right now and it's only 11 students in the class. None of them are barely pass. If you have no choice to take this class,you really need to study hard.
His class is very boring and hard. All exams are written exam, so you have to write to get grade. No any bonus question, no extra credit... do not take him...
He helps solve problems from the review in front of the whole class, and individually after class as well. He gives the class personal advice to problem solving and understanding the textbook. Very knowledgeable. His way of speaking is plain and dry, but good-natured. He doesn't call out people who's cell phone went off or come to class late.
If you are strong in math, you will be fine. He is willing to go over any question that a student asks and is always helpful. Do all the homework on time and a B or higher is easy.
The first and the best Math proff i have ever taken at Hcc. He tries to be funny sometimes but he's not. Great reviews before tests. Multiple choices. Easy A. Don't know if it's because i'm asian or not that i like him very much. Recommend if you actually like math. He's willing to answer any kind of questions.
he is a great guy very helpful always thr for his students helps with any problem u can get. hated the web assign part if u dnt like math on computers dont take his class. his class will be challenging but he is an excellent teacher. highly recommended!!
Very good professor. He may be too good. Very clear in his lectures but way too fast to grasp an idea of the concepts being taught. You can ask him to go over the problem but it's like he only knows one speed, he knows his stuff very well. Grading is straight forward. If you want to do well strongly recommend to do all homework and then some.
Tough teacher to take. Be prepared to have full attention in every class, because he goes QUICK. Sometimes its difficult to grasp topics because he goes so quickly. Good thing is, the tests are okay. LOTS OF HW THOUGH.
He was one of the best math teacher I've ever had, very helpful.
Too quick in class
I took him for the first summer session, he's pretty easy, let's you use calculators, gives extra credit on test, and all homework is due at the end of the semester. His review is just like the test, just different numbers and he reviews the test the day before testing day.
He moves too quickly, skips steps in solving the math problems, and expects you to come to class with some Trig knowledge. Expect to learn on your own quite a bit, doesn't offer help. He does however drop your lowest test score. Buy a mathlab, no need for book.
If you are looking for a good calculus professor, he is as easy as it gets in calculus. Review homework problems and test reviews and you will get an easy A. His tests are very similar to review. Webassign is easy. I took him for two math courses and he is awesome. You know the deal, if you are lazy then don't bother.
Great Professor! He knows his stuff very well, (homework 25%)(3/4 tests + final 75%)(Quizzes are extra credit). Fast enough so we wont get bored, tests are much easier than reviews. If you know how to do 80% of the review you'll get an A. Just do the homework online and the A is guaranteed. He will repeat if you did not understand.
Only take him if you think you math is extraordinary. Also expect to read the textbook before you come to class and you have to really teach yourself before you get to class if you want to keep up with what hes trying to teach. He skips over steps such as long division, or factoring. Goes super rapidly and his math calculations are unorganized.
I think professor Unruh is one of the best math professors in HCC. He teaches in the same way that book does but when you asks him questions he tries to explain it in different ways until you understand. He will stay after class to help. However, his tests are hard, which makes sense because he is really good a really good professor.
He definitely knows Calculus, but he moves too fast. His reviews were nothing like the test. The test are insanely hard. First day of class he point blank told us that he didn't expect the majority of us to finish the course. Only good thing is that all homework is due on the last day of class. Take him only as a last resort.
he definitely knows his stuff, but goes by a bit too fast, wants you to know everything before hand. nonetheless, amazing teacher and gives good feedback. you literally have to work hard and do the reviews. THE HOMEWORK IS GIGANTIC, about 100 online qeustions on every chapter homework.
Professor Unruh knows calculus in & out. He gives 4 exams (50%), 1 final (25%) and homework (25%). He drops the lowest test grade out of the 4. However, he moves too fast when doing lecture and skips steps when solving problems. His exams are very difficult, nothing like the reviews he gives out. I do not recommend taking his class to anyone.
amazing teacher, gives good feedback and a ton of extra credit. but the class isn't easy, homework is long and you really have to work hard for your A. you will definitely learn something in his class. Highly recommend.
Professor Unruh is an amazing professor! If you are a mathematics, engineer, or anything STEM related major definitely take him. Or if you really just want to learn mathematics take him. I thought he was an easy teacher who went into depth, but I am a math major. If you are not a math major and just need to get it out of the way do not take him.
Hands down the hardest class I have ever taken and I made an A in precal. The only reason I made a C in the class was because I did just about all of the homework with help of tutors. If you are decent at math this is the guy for you but if you are shakey on algebra find someone else!! Very little extra credit and TOUGH tests.
His teaching is heavy and sometimes unclear he will show you 3 different ways to do the problem.. 4 quiz and 1 final, lowest grade will be drop. For the final test do the review plus all 3 prior quizs. Homework is heavy did summer 520 problems. Be ready to write your notes because he will erase the problem we just did in class.. Will take him again
Caring Professor and goes over his reviews and your ?'s in class. Write down everything he writes on the board. Very accommodating teacher I severely burned my arm and he let me take the makeup test once I was ready for it. Best to learn trig before taking this class. I didnt and needed tutors. Lectures can be confusing. Saved grade with extra cred
Worst calculus professor ever Ive always been so great at math my whole life and have never failed a math class and Im now failing. Only take this guy as a last option trust me all he does is teach out of the textbook and his calculations are unorganized and hes all over the place when he teaches. Only take this guy as a last option.
He really understands about Calculus, and he will show you two different way to solve the problem. Homework is due at the end of the semester. You should follow the homework carefully and the review, and you can get A in the test. The best review for the final is 4 tests that you take. He will drop the lowest test (not final).
He is not the best professor in math. However, in Cal 2, he is the best. He is a tough grader, you just have to show your work carefully.
He is really great at Cal 2. You will do well on your test if you review carefully the homework and test review. He drops the lowest test.
Mr. Unruh is a solid teacher, although I would not make the same mistake I did by taking a 5 weeks class over the summer of my Senior year. My life basically revolved around Calculus for the first half of summer, and I honestly kind of regret it. Solid teacher though
Explains clearly, BUT you NEED to know trig identities, unit circle and radians like the back of your hand bc he works through problems fast. Stands in front of writing, so hard to see. LOTS of HW. Regret not keeping up with them. Works out problems you don't understand from HW or review. Pick better prof if available. Pick him if others are worse.
A good teacher I would totally recommend if you want to actually learn. He gives four tests but he will take out the one with the lowest grade out grade book. He cares about everyone's success and will make sure he can help you if you don't understand something. 10/10 I would recommend.
Professor Unruh is a solid professor if you actually want to learn calculus, I took Cal 2 with him and he explains the subject clearly and will answer any questions you have. 4 tests, 1 of the lowest gets dropped from your grade and a final. He will also go over homework problems with you. I recommend him if you're serious about learning calculus.
I took him during the spring semester online and had to join cisco webex meetings. He says "Happy day" a lot lol! Didn't need to speak or turn on my camera. You can ask him for help on any problem you're stuck on. You watch lecture videos and do some homework. Reviews are just like the tests. Replies to emails as soon as he can.
Professor Unruh reviews the material before each test. Also, he does the problems from the HW to give you an idea about how the app expects you to answer. He is so serene and replies to your inquiries. The course is manageable and requires you to complete at your own pace a certain amount of homework before a deadline.
Really nice teacher! He gives good feedback, and he also helps and answers questions well!
For Calc 2 he is literally the best teacher you can ask for. Gives good explanations and will go through problems that you are stuck on. 4 tests. Drops lowest test. Online homework on every chapter. He gives partial credit on tests and grades fair. All negative reviews for him on Calc 2 are bogus. Take him if you want to learn.
Take this professor, all you do is buy the book and actually use it to follow along with him, you just use the book dont even need notes and do the online work with him that day. If you keep up with all the work its so easy the homework prepares you for the test. If you fail thats on you he gives everything you need to succeed hes awesome.
He's a funny and kind teacher. His lectures are useful, with great explanations. Hw for each section (but it's easy), 5 exams, allow to use a calculator/notes. This class is not for those who don't want to study and learn something. It was an easy A for me.
*MATH1332* He is a great professor and goes through the online homework during class. There were 4 exams, all with reviews that he goes over. My only regret was not studying the reviews on my own time. If I did I would have gotten a much better grade. I managed to barely pass, but that's my fault since I'm horrible at math.
4 test he drops the lowest one but these test can be difficult if you don't review properly AND it's 50% of your grade. Lots of homework HIGHLY recommend doing it, it doesn't boost your grade but goodfor review. If you want a professor that just shows the equation and some examples then this is your man. If not I recommend looking some where else.
4 exams + final but lowest exam gets dropped. Homeworks in pearson, tests also in pearson LDB. He's the sweetest old man, he's so pure, and helpful during online lectures.
He is the sweetest professor. I would definitely take him again. My class was in person, but he's not strict about assistance, something that's very helpful if you have a demanding job.
Mr. Unruh is good in my book, I took him for MATH 0324 math lab & he would do the homework in class with us. He's a caring & understanding professor. You can tell he's passionate about math which makes him patient with you if math isn't your thing. I'd definitely recommend him.
This professor was very helpful and his lectures where very helpful he would alway help with other math classes if you asked he is super nice and his test are super easy
Great and helpful professor, I took him as an add on to another Math credit course (Math lab 0324 is the course he taught me). If you don't get the homework/classwork he will work it out with you, don't be discouraged he will make time to help you understand. Enjoyed his teaching style and exams.
