I received an A in the class after a lot of studying. I worked my butt off for the Hawkes online homework. I'm not a test taker so I received B's on my tests.

Good class. Read the book before classes (so you can better understand what he teaches)--that helped me a lot. He explains every concept at least two times--which may be helpful for those who struggle with Calc. He is knowledgeable and emphasizes the trig part of the calculus. 4 pop quizzes (or 5.. I do not remember), 3 exams, and one final.

This professor is very knowledgable when it comes to Math and he grades based on what you STUDIED, not what you memorized. You need to actually put in effort in his class (my Math lab, take good notes) because he definately is not a teacher to "bump up" grades. Good quality overall but if you are not strong in Math, this class may be hard for you.

He was quick to respond to questions posted on the discussion board and e-mailed.

Took him for online Finite Math. Gives tons of material for "study purposes" but you'll only see 30% of that on the tests.

Can be effective when he actually focuses on teaching a topic but seems to lack a course lesson plan, dawdling over limits & speeding thru later topics.

Wouldn't take again

Ive never felt so defeated while taking a class. I take good notes and had never missed a class. Yet I was still failing. Why? Because this professor explains things in a way you cant understand and doesnt like to answer too many questions. I spent most of my time trying to teach myself. 85 homework questions about things he didnt go over.

This is not an easy class. If your math skills are weak, you will not pass. He doesn't explain things clearly. You basically learn while doing the homework. There are weekly quizzes. Homework consists of 75-85 questions every two weeks.

This is not good teacher AT ALL!! He doesn't explain well. If you don't understand, asking questions will not get you any closer to an explanation. He just rushes through the material with no regards about you actually retaining the material. I know i'm going to have to repeat the class and it never makes me feel more defeated.

Clear assignments that prepare you for upcoming tests. Great Study Guides that give suggestions of practice exercises from the textbook that cover all sections covered in the 15-question tests. Timely reminders of upcoming tests and assignment deadlines.

Took 1350 and 2410 with him. Lectures are ok but could be better; sometimes he likes to randomly throw cheese jokes during class. He assigns tons of homework (50+ questions due every two weeks) but his study guide prepares you for the tests. Pop quizzes (given before class) were unfairly timed. He encouraged class participation. Gives extra credit.

It's not that he's a mean professor per say he just isn't very helpful. I find it difficult to understand the material with how he presents it so I've resorted to studying online with another professor. He writes abbreviations for terms or formulas without letting us know what he's talking about, and in general has poor handwriting skills.

Just study on your own. He's nice but he skips a lot and he makes difficult things seem easy until it's too late. He gives very unspecific study guides, so like I said , study a lot or you will fail.

Cumulative Final worth 34%. Quizzes online but tests and final in person. Easy to slip behind. Provides some good notes but mainly learn by yourself from the text and videos. Only issue: tests were harder than notes. Also chapters covered on quizzes were inconsistent with pacing. Some were behind while others were on ones covered that week.

DO NOT take this mans classes if you aren't prepared to do most of the learning on your own. He doesn't spend that much time on topics and somewhat limits the amount of questions he can be asked. Topics on homework questions may not be talked about until the day its due. Along with that his hand writing is illegible majority of the time. Good Luck!

The worst professor/teacher/educator in my entire life. -No extra credit/redos on assignments. -70%+ of grade is on quizzes and test. -Five 80+ QUESTION HW Assignments(does nothing to grade) -Doesn't respond to emails on time -GRADES HARSHLY DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS FOR ANY REASON.

I took the class hoping to strengthen my precalculus skills but it was truly no help. Despite paying attention in class, I struggled in this class. Your final grade WILL depend on tests. Homework is incredibly time consuming and quizzes are graded off your average score. For the sake of your mental health, do not take this class!

He was rude and angry from the beginning. Got mad that no one started the hw during the first week of class. For a project, he gave no clear instructions OR rubric--no one knew exactly what he wanted. When presenting said project, he asked questions about a test we took that had no relation to the project + took off points for not answering (20%).

This is the first W I have ever had. I really was trying but this professor's policies and teaching style are ridiculous. He would js end the mtng if you had a q at the end of class, and his tests were just so stressful. He also wants handwritten solutions and makes you write a 250+ test agreement by hand. Handwritten solutions r part of test grade

Do not take this Professor if you want to get your Credit and Graduate! This Professor is so petty, and his finals are hard. In order to pass his finals you'd have to write and answer 16 math problems on paper and type the answer on the computer while being monitored on Zoom with your camera on. If you score high, he'll test you in a 1-on-1 Zoom.
