Very clear and very enthusiastic! He has a good teaching method and will go over it with you until you understand it without becoming impatiant with you. I will take for my advanced math classes and would recommend.
He is the worst techer I had in school so far. If all professors act like he does. I have to change school

He was terrible! He thought he was the best and in actuality, he is nothing but an ignorant old red neck. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT take Tripp.
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!!!
This guy is crazy about attendance, but he tries to make math simple. A lot of people don't like this guy, but for me he's a cool dude. When he tries to clown you, just clown him back. Bottom line, don't let him get to you.
Professor Tripp actually cares about rather or not you pass. If you want to pass, TAKE HIM! If you don't care, then don't waist his time or the other students' time. He's funny, sweet, and willing to help in any way he can, as long as you show YOU CARE!
VERY BAD ATTITUDE! gives lil comments about everyone failing! quizes everyday about the homework form the perevious night make it easy to get points but BEWARE NO XTRA CREDIT EVER! so u must do the HW. iF he doesnt like you watch out he will say it in front of the class and get in your face, yha hes good prof. but has a BAD attitude.
Mr. Tripp is an awesome teacher, he was always patient, but he is not easy. He will explain as many times as needed. I hated math before I met him and he changed the way I look at math forever. I would take him if you are not strong in math and need extra help.
He is a jerk he never has anything nice to say about any body always very negative, if you want to pass math. I suggest you do not take him period.
He's great, but you have to do your work inordeer to pass, when he teaches he very clear and understanding, and if he will work with you until you are able to get it. But in class everyday he will give a lecture about passing his class, if you want to pass his class you have to do the work but overall a great teacher.
Jimmy Buffet type! Pro. Tripp is a great teacher! YES! you do have to do your part and DO YOUR HOME WORK! Hello this is college not high school! you actually have to do your work to succeed! inagine that. Pro. Tripp is an awesome' teacher loved him! Wish he taught ALL levels of the college math
ignorant old redneck describes him to a t! this guy is what scumm is made out of . the assignments are easier THAN MOST and quizes help, but his lack of respect for the students and ppl of other races,and calling u out on class, more than makes up for him giving easy quizes! and loves college football way too much DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Excellent teacher. Prof. Tripp makes math easy to understand. He goes that extra mile, and wants you to succeed. One of a kind.
He's great help in math, i'm really horrible in math and with him I understood most of it and he breaks it down. He really cares, yeh you better be on time tho. He hates when people are late to his class and thats when he points you out, but other than that Tripp is a great teacher, I suggest that you take hime if your horrible in math.
This professor has been helpfull to me. He helps you understand mathmatics in a logical way. Easy on the eyes! I have a crush on you!
This professor is a gift from God when it comes to math.He has passion , and goes above and beyond to help his students to suceed.We need more teachers like him!! Its teachers like this who makes me proud to say I'm majoring in education!!!I love u Mr.Tripp!!!!!
i hate math and never wanted to take it after high school. and well prof. tripp changed my mind. he made it fun and i always wanted to come to class.
Wonderful teacher! I was a high school dropout, who made D's in math, if I was lucky. Mr.Tripp was so helpful, he is a teacher who is really willing to go the extra mile for every one of his students. I had math teachers I dreaded, Mr. Tripp changed this for me completly. If you think math is the devil, take him, he'll change your mind completly!
he is an cool tacher but you have to do alot to get through his class
OMG!!!!!!! best math teacher ever. i cant do maht and i passed the EXIT EXAM!!!! best teacher EVER =)
MR. Tripp is perfect teacher if you not only want to learn math but to truly understand it as well. take it from me math seem to come kind of second nature to me but if there was something i didn't understand he would break it down to the point that there would no excuse for not getting it. if you want to get an "A" in math go for Mr. Tripp
I had no math ability before I took this class. In fact I had a math phobia. Tripp was my cure. I wish he was teaching my next math class.
I had a hard time with Tripp. He didn't explain things thoroughly and when students asked questions, he made us feel dumb. It was an uncomfortable learning environment for me. I spent most of my time learning in the lab.
First day of class came out kinda rude....but when you get to know him he is the best math teacher! Grades Homework and attendance..Does whatever he can to make you pass the class..Xtra points on test,xtra credit. You HAVE to do homework and attend class, also do the labs..and you will pass! I love him..I failed this class 3x b4 and passed with him
mr. tripp will do his best to make you pass the class only if you want to. he come off rude in the beginning but after all he is a very caring teacher. if you do what say you will pass his class best teacher ever.
the best math teacher i have ever had very helpful he makes math so easy.he makes you do a lot of work so if you are lazy dont take him but if you want to learn and get better at math take this professor
Mr. Tripp is such a nice guy. He actually CARES about his students and will help you in any way to get you to pass. He wants his students to suceeed and thats nice to have. As long as you do your homework EVERY week, show up for class and go to the comp house, you should pass his class. Take him! He is great!
If ur not willing to work don't take his class. He gives u alot of work and his tests are hard but I've never learned so much from a Math Professor! He teaches till u got it and is available in the comp house ALOT! He wants you to get a good drade so u have alot of chances to fix test grades but he does check hw religiously
PROFESSOR TRIPP IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! HE IS SO HELPFUL. JUST MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE YOUR HW DAILY BECAUSE HE DOES CHECK IT. AND JUST GET YOUR 50 MINS IN THE COMP HOUSE. PROFESSOR TRIPP TRIES TO HELP EVERY 1 PASS. HE GIVES U A CHANCE TO INCREASE YOUR TEST SCORE BY DOING TEST CORRECTIONS. HE IS A GREAT TEACHER. HE IS MY #1 PICK.
He is an awesome math teacher. He really cares about each student and does his best to get everyone to pass his class. He is very helpful and makes math somewhat easy. Must do the homework.
I graduated from High school with an "F" in math and thought I will never get it. I owe Mr. Tripp a lot: he is the best math teacher you can ever ask for. He takes away the fear of math and really wants you not just to "get by" but to "get it". He will make you work and think a lot. If you're willing to do so, take him! you wont regret it.
Prof.Tripp expects alot, which forces you to learn the material without realizing it. He cured my fear of math, and I passed COMP test 1st time! He WILL make you work/ h.w. every night-it is WORTH IT!
tripp is the best teacher i have ever had. He truly wants u to pass. Be prepared to work ur butt off. Here's how to pass the class: HW! a must, no need to be right just do it,labs,test corr. I failed all tests and still passed w/ a B. Best teacher! You will work ur bur off but will leave understanding math. Just show ur trying and he will pass u!
do not go to his class expecting not to do anything. he does assign and check homework, and lab tests. *do these or you will NOT pass!* he does tend to go through material a little fast especially during summer, but he is all around a good teacher.
Mr. tripp is a trip but hes one of the best math teachers I have ever had though. If you struggle in math and want to learn then take him but you have to put effort into it but in the end its all pays off.
great teacher
Very helpfuland cares for student.I didnt know anything in math and he help me get thru 1024
Professor Tripp is by far the best math teacher i have ever had. This was my third attempt and i passed! never failing one test! His teaching style is one of a kind. I never passed every single math test in a semester before his class. It is a lot of work but if you work he will help you. He gives lots of extra points. If your not good at math but
Mr. Tripp is definately a trip. He is so funny and keeps the class alive. He is awesome at teaching. I have NEVER understood Math until I took him. I am actually still currently in his class, but I just thought I would let anyone know if they plan to take his class that they should most definately take him!
Mr. Tripp is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. Cares about his students passing, give extra credit work, helps you when you don't understand. MUST DO HOMEWORK! He checks homework daily and labs are a must. Overall a great teacher fun to be around!
Prof.Raymond Tripp is amazingly wise, he can even give you some history insight about mathematics. He applies algebra to the real world like money for awesome examples with integers and fractions. His class is like playing a game, where you want to continue to win & figure it out, so much to learn. He's the grandpa you always wished for, he cares.
I have always hated math till I took Prof Tripp, he is way awesome, specially for a Dolphins, Iowa and Magic Fan! he is very understanding and fun to learn with. Any thing you need help on, he will HELP you! All he want's is for us to pass! He won't rest till you do. Now do his homework, it's an easy grade and you learn. MUST TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
I wouldn't take this professor ever. He was rude most of the time going out of his was to tease one student. He is quite strict, once he teaches you something one time he WON'T go over it again which made the class quite incomprehensible. Constantly made rude remarks, "this is my class that always fails", "I don't want to be here, great". Not good.
Noob below me probably didn't do his homework that's probably why he failed. Professor trip is an easy professor the only thing that you have to worry about is your assignments. EVERY assignment counts. Do this and you will understand the material and pass the class.
HE'S THE WORST!!! SPLIT PERSONALITIES!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MOOD HE'S IN. HE WILL PICK ON YOU AND BULLY YOU, HE'S MISERABLE OLD AND HATES COLLEGE STUDENTS, EXTREMELY RUDE, SCARRY!. ONLY IF YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IN ALGEBRA ALREADY THEN HE WILL TREAT YOU NORMAL.
Please DO NOT take this professor if you are not taking a least 6 hours of you week to study math.But if you study, and do everything he say, for sure you will pass.
If you take the time to do all the work its worth it this is not a class for slackers thats why all these people here leave ratings like this because they didnt do their work! do your work and you will pass he only mean in the beginning to get rid of slackers its down hill from there
The class itself starts out easy, it reviews everything from the class before. 3 weeks or 4 weeks into the class is when it starts to get hard. The required material is time consuming but extremely helpful. This class is hard if you dont do the work or put the time in. If your a slacker, choose a different teacher.
Mr. Tripp is a great teacher, if ur not willing to put the time in dont bother signing up for this class yes he gives a lot of work but it all pays off in the end this term taking this class we started out with 28ppl but was left with 8which is bad but the 8ppl that stay including myself all pass the com test with flying colors TAKE HIM U WILL PASS
If you're gay take him &you will pass. If you know everything their is to know about Algebra,then take him & pass. Otherwise, every day he say's "You will Fail if you do.."EX:At the end of every section, he makes an example that is wrong and then says everyone will do this?!WHYmake wrong examples in the first place?He never had kids&hasANGERissues!
okay..here is the deal..if your a lazy bum please don't take this class, waste of your time and other people's time. This class is not easy. It gets very difficult towards the end, and if you don't put up effort your going to fail with flying colors. Oh btw the SL tutor does not work..so you will have better luck in the comp house.
IF YOU'RE THINKING YOU'RE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING. YOU NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER CLASS. HE IS VERY SHARP AND ON POINT FOR EVERY TRICK THERE IS. HE IS VERY HELPFUL, BUT HE MAKES SURE YOU DO ALL YOUR WORK ON TIME. HE WILL PUSH YOU HARD. BUT ITS WELL WORTH IT.
math scares the you know what out of me. Prof Tripp took that fear and got rid of it. He even said I was a math person. If you do the homework you will get an A. He gives extra credit at every turn to help you out. But he does NOT plan games. If you don't do the work he will tell you. Dont show and you fail. would take him again!
Prof. Tripp is a fantastic teacher. I hated math before going to his class. He is very helpful and if you do the work he gives you'll pass. He doesn't tolerate slackers, so if you are one don't take this class, but if you want to learn, there is no better proff.
If you want to learn math then take professor Tripp he is awesome. He breaks everything down in a way that you can't help ,but understand. This used to be a weak subject for me now I understand it clearly.
Even though he works fast he is a good teacher. He makes sure that you understand the material. And he also offers extra credit and give you time to do your work. If you choose to fail he WILL fail you.
Taking notes in his class is ridiculous. He says study your notes and you will pass. I go to look at my notes and nothing but numbers. I think he is cocky and thinks he is the best. He isn't. I wouldn't take him. Most of my classmates and I would talk about how hard he made things.
Prof. Tripp was a great teacher, he put a concepts into real life situations so they were easy to understand. He gives all his students a kind of tough love that is ment help you pass the class. just do what he says and you will have noe problems pass. GOOD LUCK.
Best math teacher I had in YEARS. Yes, there are alot of complains because he grades u on written assignments only so u would see if u understand or not, I had an 'A' and Im ready for mat1033. Hope I have another professor like him in the future.
Prof. Tripp is a caring teacher yes his teaching style may not work for everyone but he makes math easy and fun. Take notes go to math lab and get help you should have no prob getting and A or B.
I have never take a class with him, but everytime I go to the Math Connections (Tutoring Center) he is there. He helps me a lot with my questions and gives you tips on how to solve Math problems easier and faster! I think he should be a good professor!
I took Prof. Tripp for both MAT12 and 24. My math skills were virtually non-existent and I was horrified. But he taught me that math is not that hard and gave me the skills to succeed, and not just in his classes: I took College Algebra and Statistics HONORS and got all AĆ¢??s. Thank you, Prof. Tripp, you are the best!
Prof. Tripp is a funny man. Hes CARES that you learn and understand what is going on. It can be alot of work in a short time and overwhelming at times but thank god he made it mandatory to spend 50mins in the Math Connections Lab each week bc its helps you. He can be confusing alitle but hes just trying to help. i would def take his class again.
Prof. Tripp goes above and beyond to help you pass this course, but be prepared to earn your grade. He is old school! Homework completion, attendance, and being on time are a must. If you have difficulty in math, this is the professor for you!
Professor is very helpful,but he has rules you better follow them. He is old school hw must be on time,attendance in class is important you will think he is not checking but he check!
TERRIBLE! Took him a few years ago, but thought I'd share with the people who want to know about him. He's horrible. He interrupts students and other teachers that come into the room to talk to the class. He told my class not to email him. PERIOD because he will not respond. He also said that he would not help us outside of class. Very mean old man
One of the best teachers ever. Cares about the students. His priority is to help you to learn the material - not just to pass the class. Gives many extra credits opportunities. Do the tests reviews and HW. Very friendly. Yeah, old style but works well. DON'T SKIP CLASS, GO TO THE LAB WEEKLY. Don't drop the class,He prepares you to 1033 very well.
INCREDIBLE. Professor Tripp is an amazing professor who truly cares about his students. He teaches you to learn the material and to not memorize it. I absolutely hate math and everything about it, but professor Tripp has definitely prepared me for the next level, MAT 0033C. If you do all of your assignments, you will pass this class with no doubt.
Professor Tripp talks more than he teach. He is horrible. When he teach he just do the work and expect us to copy it and understand it. Then, when you ask a question about the problem he has given us, he just does the work for you or does the work again. Then, if you go to the math lab for help they get upset. GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL FOR MATH.
Professor Tripp, at first I was like "no why did I choose him", but then as going on thru the semester I was like" damn he's very caring". Well if you're bad at math like really bad I would recommend him, he gives you multiple times to retake quizzes, and he will teach you different methods on how to solves problems.
he talks too much on off topic stuff that is not relevant. complains all the time. never helps and is a complete jerk and unconcederate. if you dont know any math dont take this class he does not teach. he as likes to withdraw people with no question
Professor Tripp is an AMAZING PROFESSOR! I took his class for Developmental Math, and honestly he is great! For the people who say bad things about him, he is a great, caring person who is willing to understand you and find your strengths to help you be better at math. I would definitely take his class again he was teacher another math class!
his a great teacher i'm not the best in math and he has helped me alot he doesn't like cheaters but if you go to him in math lab he will help you alot and even give you extra points for seeing him like towards your test and mid terms and final.
Professor Tripp is a really caring professor. Most of my math struggles were from early educational flops in math. I failed the first two tests and he let me retake. I got an A on the final and some other tests bc of him!! Go to him for help! He will figure out what you dont understand and he doesnt like to let anyone fail. Must Work hard!
Mr. Tripp is really patient and understanding with me. He's made me learn and understand this year instead of memorizing everything like in high school. Tip make sure you read everything thoroughly I know it was a challenge to teach but I hope it wasn't that bad. If you ask questions, go to open math lab when needed, do your homework you'll pass.
Took Professor tripp last semester he was amazing loved helping student that are willing to learn and understanding math go see him if you need help sometimes he gives you credit or helps you out with quizzes when you go see him in math lab he's really understanding and he knows people have different ways of learning .
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.
easy class
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.
Professor Tripp was a very good professor for MAT0022C.
Helpful in every way possible. Will help you pass.
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
Gives a lot of homework. Allows you to retake a test if you didn't do well the first time.
Good course for individuals who have been out of school for a while. Lots of HW but helps with tests. MathLab is a requirement.
Be very patient as he is older and has a couple of concussions.
It was great, Mr Tripp really enjoyed helping the students and really teaching. First math professor I had that actually taught something.
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.
He's a very good teacher that cares about his students
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 is a great professor.
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.
He will help you a lot so you can get a good grade. I am awful in math but Professor Tripp help me a lot and give me a many opportunities to have a good grade or be able to pass the class. I totally recommend him.
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.
