Very strict guy, likes to cut you down in front of other students. Goes over something and if you don't get it he gets aggravated. Also if you are late more than a few minutes he counts you absent and you do not get credit for the quiz or test of the day. Would not ever take him again!!!

He demands class attendance, but he knows that anything can happen. What he teaches is what's in the tests, and he's always willing to help u in the lab. He is very considerate and patient. He doesn't want anyone to be left behind and makes constant reminders of assessments, so you don't fail the course. He really teaches you and makes you think.

Be prepared to do lots of homework, tests and quizzes. Professor Tripp wants you to think and will harp on it. He is very smart and is willing to help you with anything you need. Lots of work but easy work if you are thinking and doing the homework assignments. He uses MyMathLab for all the assignments, tests, quizzes and eBook.

Very strict about the assignments and homework, as a professor should be. Very kind and teaches in a good way that helps many understand the material at a much quicker pace than usual. Be ready to take lots of tests and quizzes. They are also very strict about making sure you understand the material before moving on

Be prepared for lots of homework, quizzes, and tests. He also has a mandatory open Lab, though it's only for an hour. When he gives his lectures, he wants you to think and use your brain. If there are no phones in class, he will get upset with you on your phone. He does give a 15-minute break halfway through class.

i would like for others students to know that he is very clear meaning you'll get a clear feedback of what you are doing whether if you are passing or failing, he'd tell you straight up, but the good part is that he'll tell you why and how you can improve

Professor Tripp wasn't bad at all besides a lot of homework and test he is a good teacher. i was thinking about if i should take him again but honestly i wouldn't only because how he teaches it likes you should already know this mindset instead of maybe you don't and let me teach it. Good professor overall besides teaching.

Mr. Tripp, has a big heart and cares for his students, he's understanding and compassionate. However, he sets clear expectations for his class and is tough. He expects a lot of homework to be done, but he does so we are successful. If your expectation is to learn, he's the guy who will force you to think and learn.
