He is absolutely the best math professor ever! He is so nice and totally cares how much his students are learning. He completely prepares you for exams, but does not spoon feed you so that you don't learn anything. You really do learn in his class, but he doesn't go out of his way to make it overly difficult like many other professors.

103.6% Didnt buy the book, didnt study,took notes in class and that was the only time i looked at them. He gives two tests. A pretest and a real test. They are almost identical. If u ace the pretest u can keep your score and not take the real test. Good thing is you actually learn, not just an "easy" class. 100% recommend him.

I have failed both math 201 and 103 and retook it with Stanton. Passed both with him. I am not the best at math but Stanton really made it easy to understand. He does assign homework but not a lot. The pretest are very helpful and not recorded. Very up beat instructor and pretty funny. Class will fly by. If you struggle with math take Stanton!!

Professor Stanton was such a great teacher for summer school Math 103. He understands students and gives many opportunities for us to pass the class. Pre test are given before actual test which is extremely similar anyone who puts in effort should be able to pass. Such an amazing inspirational down to earth teacher. Always smiling.

He is an amazing instructor, and so is his ETC leader, Richard. I wish I could have him for more classes, but he only teaches Math 103. He cares a lot about you, and he will assist you through the whole semester, don't take him for granted. He will tell stories, but that is to help your brain take a break from the class.

I have always been terrible in math but he made it so easy and fun that I would take him all over again. If most classmates do bad on a test he will make all of you re take it. (which is great because you get a second chance) sometimes even a third chance

Dr. Stanton is by far the best math teacher I've ever had! I usually hate math but this class was a breeze. He has such a clear way of explaining. There is hw but it's not much and he's not a tough grader. There's two test a week, a pre test (not recorded) and the actual test. I loved his class so much and that's saying something bc I had it at 7am

I followed the hype, but wasn't as impressed. Very nice and funny. Lecture is fast and more like a review than teaching. I did the homework in advance so I had an idea what he was talking about in class or I'd be lost. He gives 2 chances on each test, sometimes 3. He cut a lot of lectures short and tells stories/jokes that cut into the lecture time

My favorite teacher so far! Don't know how he does it but he makes math comprehendible while being fun to listen to. He won't test the class until we are ready. He pre- tests first, then tests and you still have a chance to make up the test if you don't like your score.

Stanton is so funny! I had his class at 7am and he made it fun. Really easy class! Weekly hw from the text book (answers are on the back). You will have a pretest before the actual test which gave us a heads up and most of the time some of the same questions on the pretest would be on the actual test. Do the work and you'll pass easily.

Take this class if you want to just pass w/a "C" or higher. But if you want to actually learn and apply it to the next class, I suggest you take a different teacher. You spend all week long learning repetitive steps just to pass the exams. But you really aren't learning. Don't give me wrong, he's an awesome teacher who's caring. I wouldn't take him

Took 4-week summer course. Typical class routine: Dr. Stanton gives overview of concepts, take a pre-test, and take actual test. The pre-tests are really similar to the actual test. We took tests everyday. No textbook/homework. He makes materials easy to understand. He's a really caring and hard-working person. Always happy, never in a bad mood.

I wouldn't recommend this guy. I never learned anything by heart. It was all memorization. He has practice tests before the actual test which is great, it really prepares you for the real test. You don't have to do the homework which is great if you can manage, because it will help you on the tests. In class all you do is learn steps. Just memory.

His teaching style wasn't for me. He would make jokes that weren't even kinda funny. You come to class and sit down and just learn the same repetitive steps over and over again. You don't actually learn it's just steps and steps. It wasn't a difficult class whatsoever. Take this class if you to pass the class with ease. Don't take it for learning.

Was a ok class I felt like it was boring everyday in class we would learn math steps then we would take a practice test which would be similiarity to the real test I think he tried to be nice but their was something odd about him. I would not taken him if I knew the class structure. I just memorized a bunch of stuff without actually learning.

Looking back at it I would of taken a different instructor. He would do problems on the board by showing you steps but you wouldn't learn anything. I forgot almost everything I learned in that class. I never actually understood the concepts just the steps. It's the perfect class if you just want a high grade but don't take him if you wanna learn.

Don't take this class if you actually want to learn something you will be disappointed. He makes math boring by making it about learning boring steps instead of learning the actual math concepts.

Lectures are him teaching steps on the board. Homework is not mandatory but you should do it for the test. Practice tests are a great help for the real tests. Class felt rushed it was a test every week. I felt like we just learnt a bunch of steps everyday rushed just to get to the test. He never took the time to explain the concepts. Didn't learn.

He assigned hw but I never did it and still got a B. As long as you understand his lectures and pass his tests, and depending on your grade, you can pass and not take the final.
