rick is a cool teacher. he actually takes the time to help you if you need it. he explains everything to you step by step in order for you to understand. he has a great sense of humor which makes the class really fun.

great teacher! tried to clearly explain all math concepts, and made them easy to understand. pretty funny guy, made calculus bearable.

Almost did not pass due to a very small margin of error. We worked out the issue though, just had to talk to him. Very good teacher who is always willing to explain things clearly and is a great person in general.

Rick is so cool, he allows you to call him by his first name. He's not the usual stuffy type teachers, he's wacky too which makes him funny at times.

Rick is the best teacher i've ever had. He is funny, helpful and makes class interesting. very good at the subject and although calc is a hard subject he makes it much easier.

Quirky. Hyper in the mornings, but a good teacher. keeps most of us awake, anyway.

he's a really good teacher and explain well. he makes the class interesting and makes it easy to learn...even for someone like me who hates math

Somewhat fast pace. He helps you understand the problems. Really easy to get along with, and he prefers the class to call him Rick.

Somewhat of a hard teacher but very helpful and nice. Does a lot of group quzzies and you get to use note cards on his test.

he's a good guy, if you need help he will be there, but be prepared to do lots of work. if your looking for a free ticket this teacher is not your man. if your looking for a teacher that will keep you thinking this teacher is the one you want.

Good teacher. He likes the students to call him Rick. He's available at the office hours if you need help, but also likes students to ask questions in class. He'll explain things until you get them, just keep asking questions if you're unsure. Funny and energetic, he made trig interesting.

hes a kool guy very helpful

Rick is a good math teacher. He encourages you to ask questions and to see him for office hours where he can help you out more, and I recommend you take the opportunity to do so.

He's a great teacher! Very clear and helpful if your confused!!!

Rick is a GREAT math teacher. He is an expert (which is what you want). He is very clear and has good analogies and examples. He is a good EXPLAINER. Cares about his students. It is fair to say that anyone who bad mouths Rick is certainly confused in the head.

He's tough! But gave us TONS of extra credit for going to the MESA center to get tutored if we needed extra help. even gave us 10 points extra credit to talk to Tiffany, the lady who works at MESA. just say hello and talk! He gives a lot of group quizzes that become take home if you don't finish. He's REALLY enthusiastic about math!

Rick is an awesome professor who is passionate about math. He is available for help when you are in desperate need. Trigonometry is a difficult subject to understand, but he tries his best to make you understand the concept. Just attend class everyday and do the work, and if you still don't know what's up then ask for help.

Great teacher! He will help you in any way he can. Easy to understand math when you take him. I recommend him for students who is really bad of understanding math.

Rick is one of, if not the most caring and helpful teacher I have ever had...He is genuinely in it for the students and I appreciated his concern for the well-being of his students and their success. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Cool Beans!!

I LOVE THIS GUY !

Such a nerd of a teacher. Dude is really, and I mean REALLY into his math. He's funny & gives u a list of all the HW for the semester. class coulda been funner if the students were more active. I recommend u take this class (and any class for that matter)with a friend cus ppl (the students) are so boring when it comes to math!

70-79=c,80-89=B, 90+=A. pretty standard grading system, no curve, BUT he will will give you points where he can. quizzes are take home, tests every 3-4 weeks. Very HELPFUL, make any honest effort, and you will pass.

Rick is AWESOME! the hot pepper is JUST for him. He knows what it's about ;) He loves to teach and is almost always available to help after class. H.W. is 10 points and you can do late assign. for half credit. His tests are SUPER hard! =/ Do all h.w. and come to class regularly. Ask for help when you need it and you'll do fine.

Rick is the MAN! I was terrified of returning to math, but he helped me fall in love with it. He will help anyone, anytime. Totally devoted and really wants you to get an A. Take him!!

Exams are pretty hard. Assigns homework every night. Do hw because they are easy points and he only grades on completion. Math is my worst subject but he's gives great help if you ask for it. If you slack off and don't ask for help, drop the class because he won't reach out to you himself. Show him your serious, and he'll help tons!

Rick is a very nice guy. But when he knows if you are struggling, whether you talk to him about it or not, he doesn't help you at all. He would tell you to retake the class, His exams are way too hard and too much to finish within an hour. In the end, 9 out of 10 people dropped out. I wouldn't recommend him if math isn't your strong subject.

Good teacher, really goes out of his way to help out students. Work isnt hard but it isnt easy either. Lets you redo all online quizzes and homework

Hes AWESOMEEEE!he'll explain everything until it's crystal clear!He'll do as much as he can to help you pass his class b/c trig itself can get pretty confusing. Txtbook & mymathlab is mandatory. u can redo all MML hw&quizzes to boost up your grades&he'll tell u which test to study on finals.Email [email protected] for cheap txtbook!

My first semester at Skyline I took this beginner's math class and almost freaked out. As an older student with math anxiety (basically I have an aversion to numbers)I wasn't catching on as quickly as everyone else. Rick was extremely helpful. Use his office hours and make study groups this will help immensely. Do the work and don't fall behind.

Rick loves teaching math. Very helpful. Good Class.

Awesome guy, great class, couldnt ask for a better teacher

Great Teacher! Very helpful and makes jokes every now and then.

Seriously, Rick is the man! He and Ms. Daisy are probably going to be your best bets in getting through the math courses. He really explains things through, but you have to be able to pick up fairly fast at his pace. He's really cool and gives you enough chances to keep your grade up.

I have taken his 811,110,&120.He is incredibly clear,&really helpful- if you ask. Its math so the subject is hard- if you're failing rick's class its your own fault, you're just not putting in enough time, or asking for help.He is the only teacher that has ever made math clear to me,and I was always stoned in class. SO THANKFUL FOR RICK- TAKE HIM

Professor Hough, teaches class my last professor we had to complain before he started teaching anything. If I'm confused about something I can go office hours. Most of the kids in this class don't speak up either not until they are in group. A close mouth does not get feed. Oh! the book does suck because the department picked it not Professor.

Well for starters this guy is awesome, makes the class fun with his sense of humor. Very helpful if you ask, not a mind a reader so beware that if you don't ask for help he will answer your question.Hands online homework through Wileyplus which absolute piece of crap software but thats totally not his fault.Only wish is he'd give study guides

Awesome math teacher, he loves the subject and explains it clearly and fun, his class is wide awake and not boring at all! he wants you to ask a lot of questions because he wants you to learn what you don't get. no textbook required, he values attendance and gives online homework. Definitely would retake him.

Ricks class is pretty straight forward! You must come to class do all your work, and really out in the effort. If math is not your thing and you want a class to skate through than do not take this class. If your a student who hates easy teachers and loves the challenge that math has to offer than yes take this class..

Hough is a nice and funny guy. He is super laid-back with work. He loves when people asks questions, so ask away! You don't necessary have to be in class everyday because he posts all the lesson plans on web access. With homework, you can always change your grade until you get a 100% on it.

Rick is hilarious, helpful and really pushes resources your way so you can pass but it's up to you if you want to use it. He's very active on webaccess and posts up daily lesson plans for you to print before class. Honestly for most students it's hard for them to understand the concepts but it's different for me because I get it easily.

He does have the tendency to assign a bunch of projects (mainly Kahn Academy) that don't work and have nothing to do with the course. Besides that, however, he is a very good teacher; he explains things pretty well and gives fair tests.

Super nice teacher. I've taken him several times.

he's ok as a math professor. he just talk a lot about what you need to do in order to become successful in college. he barely talks about math and always off topic when doing a lecture in math class and rather talk bout what you need to do in life after college rather than teach us math stuff and help us learn about the concepts of math.

You have to be proactive if you want to succeed in his class! Ask, ask, ask and he will be as helpful as can be. Be responsible and work on homework at your on pace but efficiently. He really made me love math after many years of full hate! So be there, ask and make use of group work and have fun! :)

Professor Hough is such a very nice and funny guy. He helps a lot anytime, he loves his students to ask him questions. His tests are not hard but you have to study to pass. He's really a good professor. Recommended

He will help you as much as he can before the xam to make sure you pass the class.

Rick is a good guy and a good teacher. If you stay on top of your homework and do well on your tests then I'm pretty sure you will be fine. He gives out extra credit things called like equate and then he has other projects too that can easily help your grade too. The class is hella easy if you know basic math.

hes a great teacher, you can tell he cares about his students and wants them to pass. He is always ready to help. Homework is online and not due til the end of the semester. If you come to class and are engaged this will be easy A. However, if you are constantly skipping you are going to struggle, i guarantee it.

AMAZING TEACHER! I had him for 2 different classes and loved them both. He emphasizes active participation, and a growth mindset to learn math, but really if you are not inherently a math person he will take the time you need to help you understand. Use his office hours, he is always open to help. Few teachers have this passion to help you succeed.

He is helpful when you ask

Ricky Is Very Cool And Energetic

He's very energetic and eager to help his students the best way he can during class, office hours, and the workshops he sets up for students to come in and catch up on homework. Favorable to group work, projects, and participation.

Professor Hough is approachable, fair and kind but his lectures wont give you everything you need to pass Statistics. The Lock material is amazing. Do the practice questions and video tutorials, show up everyday and you will do well. Statistics is difficult without putting in the study time.

Rick was the best instructor I have ever had at Skyline College. I read some of the previous reviews on him and I am absolutely disgusted with what people have said about him. He's helpful, always there for you when you need him, and wants EVERYONE TO PASS. Question everything, see him during his office hours, and you will pass no problem!

In all honesty, Rick has been the best instructor I've EVER had. The work is challenging but you just have to meet him halfway. He's very vocal about the help he offers. I don't know how people can speak negative about someone who genuinely cares? Just show up, participate, and ask for help. Rather then expect the teacher just hand you an "A".

Rich is very caring, be ready to do group work and be paying attention or you will fall behind because eveything matters in the beginning of the semester to do your own project within the class that you may present at the end of the semester. his hw is quite heavy but he is always there to help, take advantage of those office hours major help.

Rick knows how to TEACH! Rick closely pays attention to each and every student in class and will patiently explain you a theory until you get it. You just do every homework and go to his office hours,you'll 100% succeed in his class. Rick is lenient about late policy too. He just wants you to actually learn without worrying about grades!
