Travis is Awesome!!!!!
Best Algebra teacher...
Greatest Math Teacher sit in front row and this class will be a breeze. Highly recommend this man. Definite A
Very Easy.. Goes over everything thoroughly...Easy A..
awesome. awesome. awesome.take your math with him. you wont regret it.
This class was a breeze. He makes it easy and he gives an exact review before the test. Very easy to make an A.
I couldn't have understood algebra without Travis teaching it to me. He's the best if math isn't your subject!
THE BEST ALGEBRA TEACHER!!!
Mr.Travis is the best math teacher ever and is very, very funny. Reviews for the test are a big help and very similar to the test.
Very Fun Class, He is very helpfull, Gives Studyguide questions for the test. Easy to make an "A" in class.
Doesn't show up for office hours. Get easily lost in his lectures. Don't recommend taking him.
Makes the hardest subject in college seem easy.
this professor is by far the easiest math teacher ive ever had. he makes sure all the students understand the problem before he moves on. there should be no reason why you make a b in this class. easy a for sure. hes funny too!
best teacher ever. teaches math awesome. Has alot of fun in class with his students. easy to make an A. Don't even question another teacher
By far the best math teacher ever! even though I hate math, I enjoyed his class. He is very down to earth and easy to understand.
Makes class fun. Provides lots of examples, gives study sheet before test. Easy going prof. Gives you a chance to retake a test with a low score. Possible score of 80 on retake. Basiclly a good Algebra prof. SI NOT NEEDED.
He's a really good professor. He explains everything really good and he gives pleanty of opportunities to get a better grade.
EASY. FUN. CLEAR. An "A" is so easy to get. YOu actually learn a lot and make a good grade. BEST math professor, wish he taught more areas of math.
Coolest and most helpful teacher. it is never really boring in class and he gives examples after examples and explains everything step by step.get this teacher if possible, it is the best bet.
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. Enough said! He's so helpful-this is the first time I've ever understood math in my life, he's kind and helpful, really takes time to help and care about all his students! Highly Recommend him for anything you can take!! He gives study guides and offers extra help after class
Very easy to understand. His tests are pretty short so if you miss one question your grade drops quickly.
I've had travis for col.algebra & mat 1153&1163. he is by far the best math prof. ever! He explains things, in a way you can understand,& Usual C/D makers, can get an A if they try hard. He is the best math prof. ever, it's hard to get into his classes, so if you see an opening, TAKE IT! Easy tests!
TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! Seriously, he's great! He makes it easy to understand and he'll help you if you need it. He also will go over a problem if somebody doesnt get it! Plus, he's funny...and a bit weird! Oh yeah and he has a shirt that says "FRIJOLERO!!!" No that's a great professor!
EASY EXAMS, EASY A. HARD TO DO BAD AND HARD TO GET INTO HIS CLASS. YOU MAY GO IN HATING MATH AND LEAVE READY TO CHANGE YOUR MAJOR. THERE IS NO OTHER PROFESSOR LIKE HIM. SO REGISTER ASAP.
Mr. Travis is so awesome! I was so afraid of taking College Algebra because I hadn't been able to pass my remedial courses. But he changed the way I feel about math! It's not so bad after all. In fact, I have an A now! Take him! He's so funny, too. That's a plus!
As an Eng. major who really doesn't get math at all ,(I failed it on TASP several times), I love this man. I actually got an A in the class. He works enough problems in class that you won't forget how to do homework later. Cute too!
He's a great college algebra professor. He's pretty funny and explains it so well even I understood it after failing math throughout highschool. I managed to get an A in his class, definitely recommend him for people who hate math.
Best math professor ever. Easy to understand and makes class pretty fun. Easy to make an A too. Offers makeup exams and tests are mutiple choice. YES TAKE HIM
He is a sweetheart. Takes lots of time to work out and explain steps to problems. Will help you after class, tutoring, homework is extra credit, tests are not bad, laid back attitude. Highly recommended! :)
mr.travis is a cool teacher u learn and the class isnt boring either
No Comments
AWESOME PROF! NEVER BEEN GOOD AT MATH IN MY LIFE. I TOOK COLLEGE ALGEBRA 2 TIMES AND FAILED AND TOOK 2 YEARS OF COLLEGE IN REMEDIAL CLASSES (WASTE OF MONEY). TOOK TRAVIS IN 5-WK SUMMER CLASS AND PASSED WITH AN A!!! I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDED HIM MY FIRST YEAR HERE. I WOULD HAVE SAVED ALOT OF TIME, MONEY, AND NO STRESS WITH MATH. LOVE HIM
Great Proff..will follow him and wait fro his class through allmy math reqs. funny,helpfull and did I mention he was funny? Worht waiting for his class, esp if math is not your strength..
awsome teacher. Funny and cute! he gets to the point and usually ends class early! His tests are so easy. Totally recommend him!!
Very, very good teacher!! I hate math and did great in his class!! Explains things very well!!! Take him!!
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME Take him! You WILL Learn! He is so helpful!
This teacher is the light at the end of that dark tunnel. He is a proven professional and enjoys watching you learn. He has short cuts and math tricks which will make you say hmmmmmmmm. He can make probability, statistics,log , geometry using coordinates, slope-intercept equation of a line. slope point seem like childs play. Take his class....
He is a great math teacher. Math is so easy when he teaches it. There isn't any "busy work" to fill time. When he's through with his lesson class is over. He's very helpful and nice. I wish all math teachers were like him.
Interesting, and made math fun to learn.
Awesome teacher! Just as everyone else has written...makes math easy and very understandable. You will regret taking anybody else but him! Easy A as long as you go to the review session before test and use a notecard!
Amazingly great professor!I hated math until I took him.He gives chances for just about everything.He's very undersatnding and funny.He makes you want to come to class.I found math quite interesting because of him.I would highly recommend him...don't pass him up!! Greay guy!
Just like I was told before I took this class, his is an awsome professor. He makes sure that you understand everything and he will act like he won't know a answer just to make sure you can figure it out. He is very funny and very helpful. His is also a very smart professor.
HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR!! I plan on taking him for 1163! He is always willing to help if you have any questions, gives you a review before the exam. Reviews are almost exactly like the exam. Very little homework, also homework counts as extra credit towards your exam!! DON'T PASS HIM UP!!
Awesome Professor!! He is funny, extremely intelligent and knows how to make math fun.I do not like Math and I never have but this class was different, in a good way. Take him if you can you will not be disappointed.
Mr. Travis is very funny and keeps the class interesting. Very little homework. Homework counts as extra points on your exams. Reviews are similar to the actual test. Great teacher!
Mr. Travis is an awesome professor! I wished I had taken math 1163 with him, but I transferred to another school. Made an A in his class. Best math teacher ever!
Travis is HOT!!! He's also a genius. I wish I had taken him for all my math classes. If you hate math, take Travis, you will LOVE him, and learn math in the process.
i HATE math with a passion. im horrible at it. i waited until my senior year to take math. Prof. Travis is doing a GREAT job. i actually have an A in the class. trust me, im so bad at math and Travis is making it so easy and fun for me. if you HATE math as much as i do, take this professor. doesnt matter which campus. just take HIM.
AWESOME TEACHER!!
You would be silly not to take professor Travis for both of your math 1153/1163!! He is an awesome professor, I hate math and he made it understandable and enjoyable! HIGHLY recommend him!
Awesome professor! He made math understandable and helped me out when I needed extra credit. Only 3 tests (including Final) and only 10 questions. Grades easy and attendance not mandatory.
exellent and easy
Great teacher. Need more like him at UTSA, for math. He makes it easy and doesn't complicate things like Beatty does. If you can get into one of his classes take him.
He is the best I have never understood math before. He is wonderful. Take him if you can!
Best professor ever, I wish I could take him again for the same class even!
BEST TEACHER EVER!! He made me enjoy math
On our first day of class he told us to sell our books back. Despite the fact that he's overqualified to teach 1043 by miles, he didn't blow it off. Basically, if you can, take him. If his harder classes are anything like 1043 in terms of difficulty, I'll take him again.
GET IN THIS CLASS hes an excellent teacher. no book necessary and his tests are identical to the review. Hes funny and uses examples that college students can relate to. He will make it easy for anyone to understand.
got a 100 on the final, doesn't get any easier
BEST MATH CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN!!! he is sooo easy to understand. i am not good at math, and i made a 90 on my final. if you are not good at math and you need to take math to graduate, take Mr. Travis. It doesnt matter if he is on the 1604 or DT campuses. his reviews are just like his test!! he is very funny and he explains the problems!!
TAKE HIM!!! EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!! REVIEWS JUST LIKE THE TEST!!! I got a 100 on the final, he is the BEST!
I was so scared to take College Algebra and but after his class I actually can say I enjoy some math now! He's great, explains everything clearly and he's funny too.
Travis is an amazing teacher! I hate math but his teaching style is so laid back and he explains everything extremely well and goes over everything several times. He adds humor to his classes and that is what makes him an awesome teacher! You only had to turn in the homework for extra points on the exams. Reviews are exactly like the exams! AWESOME
I love him. He is sarcastic, patient,sexy and ridiculously intelligent. Take him its the best decision you'll probably make all semester.
VERY easy A. You don't even have to go to class, but its fun if you do! He's what every teacher should strive to be, seriously do yourself a huge favor and take him if you can!!!!!
This was my 2nd time taking Travis i tried taking this same class with 2 other UTSA professors and regreted it. TAKE TRAVIS!!! hes laid back but is really clear in his teaching!
Meant to say MAT 1163...This was my 2nd time taking Travis i tried taking this same class with 2 other UTSA professors and regreted it. TAKE TRAVIS!!! hes laid back but is really clear in his teaching! I think the other math teachers at UTSA that teach MAT 1153 and MAT 1163 need to use Travis' approach to math
he is great! if you suck in math, take him, he will get an A out of you.
He is the EASIEST teacher ever.
Do you suck in math? Does the word "algebra" make you want to curl up in the fetal position and start crying? Then take this professor! He makes everything clear somehow! I don't know how he does it, and I don't care. For me to get a B in a math class is a miracle!
It is impossible to fail with this teacher. He makes class interesting and provides opportunities to retest. I'm horrible at math and I managed to get a B. If I would've tried harder, I could've gotten an A. I HIGHLY recommend this teacher. He is worth it.
This class is the easiest math class seriously. I could have made an A if I tried harder but a B will just do, if you can take him for both Elementary Education Math classes, take my advice and do it.
Excellent teacher! He is very funny, outgoing. Easiest class ever! Hated math but he made it so easy!!!!
I'm absolutely shocked that a college class could be this easy. He's pretty funny and he shows you lots of cool tricks and different ways of thinking about simple math. The only thing is he misses a lot of classes and has his mom sub for him. Which is weird.
great teacher...explains things in ways that I had never thought about.... very funny I think his humor kept the class interested and with all those technical terms, he still managed to kept the class engaged...VERY understanding...he made me feel at ease...even if im a nervous wreck..hes very smart...easily can get an A. highly recommended....
He is an amazing professor and loved his class! I took him for the summer session and recommend him as a professor. I truly HATE math and he made me enjoy it and like it. So he is a really good teacher for making me like math when math is my weakest subject and dislike it very much. So two thumbs up for mr Travis and is available to help when you need him! He is open to all sorts of opportunities he can get and have!
great prof! funny guy, makes class interesting! Wish he taught all math levels
Easy and funny.
he is a FABULOUS prof. he makes class enjoyable. his explanations are easy to understand and if you dont understand he'll keep helping you. hw isnt mandatory to do but its extracredit on tests. he lets you buy the older version of the book to save $$. i wish he taught all the math classes. love him!
I HATED ALGEBRA until I found Professor Travis. I had either dropped or failed college algebra FOUR times. He is clear. He is concise. He is a funny guy and very helpful. Probably the best professor of my entire college career. This guy is worth waking early or going to the downtown UTSA campus. Fit him into your schedule.
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! Never have to go to class but I did anyway! Review is EXACTLY like the test but with different numbers! You can use your calculator! I slept in every class and still got an A. Best professor ever!
Such a funny and easy going teacher. I hate math but loved his class because he explained everything so clearly! Only way you will fail his class if you show up to the test w/out prior knowledge to the material, seriously take his class! Assigns 3-5 problems for hw but doesn't pick it up and you don't need the book which is a plus!
Super easy class. You don't need to show up unless you haven't done math in a few years. The class is mostly Seniors trying to get their Math credit done before graduation. Don't buy the textbook. We showed up on the first day and said we didn't need it. Overall he's a funny and easy teacher. Gives lots of opportunities to get at least a C.
You HAVE to take this professor. I'm horrible at math and he made things extremely easy AND I actually learned something. I love his sense of humor. He's a great guy and a great professor. Just go to class and everything will fall into place without any problems.
I LOVE MR. TRAVIS. He is a wonderful instructor. He makes math so easy and is absolutely hilarious. It makes going to class not so bad. (: I really wish I was able to take him for 1163, but he is only teaching downtown this fall :( but I totally recommend him! His tests are easy if you know the basics of the material he, lets you use a cheat sheet!
Best professor ever!!!!!! His tests are so easy and based on the reviews. He lets us use a notecard during the exams and also gives extra credit for finishing the hw :) He also has the best sense of humor, and almost always lets us out early. hated math but he made it so easy! TAKE HIM!!!!
Travis is amazing. His tests are super easy because he gives you a review the day before that is exactly like the test and he shows you exactly how to do it. Homework is actually extra credit. I'm taking every class that he offers. He's really great and super cool too.
This class is SO easy. You don't have to buy the textbook and homework is extra credit. Gives a review before the test that is exactly like the test. He's really laid-back and this class is such an easy A. Take Travis!!!!!!
Professor Travis has a great sense of humor, making the class very entertaining. Tests are very easy, given the review a day or two before. Homework is extra credit towards your test grade. Very slow and manageable timeline on learning the material. Definitely recommend Mr. Travis.
Very funny laid back. He understands not everyone is a "math person." Allows you to retake tests for a better grade, and always offers extra credit for doing the homework assignments. You can use a calculator, and he's kinda funny actually. DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK.
Easy easy easy A. He gives plenty of examples (if you even need them the class is literally TOO easy) You don't have to go to class, there are 3 tests that make up your grade (got a 100 on all three), he gives a review of the test the class before that is identical to the test AND he gives you extra credit for doing the homework. TAKE HIM!
Super easy, he makes sure you understand the information and material before moving on. He also gives a review before the test that is exactly like the test, and goes over it in class giving you all the right answers! By far the easiest math class I have ever taken! He is a great professor and loves to make learning fun! Definitely take Travis!
If you need a math credit for a non-businessscience degree, TAKE THIS CLASS! Hands down, the absolute easiest class I've ever taken. Travis is awesome and laid back. The material isn't hard to begin with (I have a 100 average). Theres 3 tests and a Q assignment, thats it. Tests are super easy. Homework isn't required but its extra credit on tests.
I love this guy, and I wish that I had known about him sooner. The class is crazy easy. We're allowed to use notes, homework, test review, and a cheat sheet on the tests. Attendance is a bonus, but not mandatory, no group work or projects. He's hilarious and gives amazing and easy to understand lectures. Book not necessary.
Easiest math class I have ever taken. Don't buy the textbook. The homework counts for extra credit on the test. There are three tests and you have two chances to take each so you can retake them if, for some reason, you fail. I finished with a 100
Super nice guy, easiest class ever, you don't need your book, show up to class and listen and you will pass, he usually lets out early too.
I am horrible at math, but I ended up with an A+ in this course. Hands down easiest math professor out there. No textbook is needed and attendance isn't mandatory. He gives out a review and also gives the work and answers. The reviews aren't the same as the exam, but they're very similar. TAKE. HIM.
You won't need to buy a textbook or MyMathLab code. There's homework assigned and it's gives you extra credit on the tests (3 tests per semester). If you don't do well on a test, he will let you study more and retake it. He makes class fun, makes sure everybody understands what's going on before moving on, and engages the class in his sessions.
Very nice guy, wants you to do well in the class. Class is very easy too. Only went to class like half the time.
Super easy! Gives like 3 tests throughout the semester and offers retakes too. Easy A! (trust me, I hate math and I passed!)
The easiest Algebra class you will ever take ANYWHERE, AT ANY UNIVERSITY. We had 3 test, homework was considered extra credit on your test but not mandatory. Your average is solely based on the 3 tests, did i mention that he lets you retake the test for a better grade? SCORE! You average those together and boom that is you FINAL grade. NO final!!
Only gave us 3 mandatory school test, never gave us math lab work, easy to learn off of, funniest professor I've had.
He only requires a graphing calculator for the class. He offers them to you if you don't have one. Only 3 tests for the class and they are easy. Funniest professor that you will ever have.
As someone who HATES and generally sucks at math, prof travis made college algebra a breeze for me. Attendance isn't mandatory, and you basically just show up for the tests. Exams are mult. choice and he allows re-takes if you don't like your grade. Reviews are the tests. I made a 90 in this course. Hands down the EASIEST prof for college algebra!
If you aren't a STEM major and are needing to get college algebra out of the way, he's your guy. Three easy 10 question multiple choice tests, no attendance required. That's it. So easy I can't believe he's real but I thank god every day. He also looks like the Trivago guy. TAKE HIM!
Professor Travis is really understanding I'm glad I chose the right Professor this semester. He's an angel sent from heaven.
Such a great professor! He want's everyone to pass, you'll have an easy A for sure. We only had 3 tests and homework was extra credit. Wish every professor was like him!
Only 3 tests for your total grade, and homework for E.C. Super easygoing and will help you out with anything you need. Homework not from textbook and he even says you do not need to buy it.
SUPER EASY! You could only show up for tests and easily pass, he works with you so you can pass if youre not doing so well and need a few more points
All around great professor. He explains math concepts very clearly and easy to understand. Very Helpful. He emails you the HW sheets for practice and you turn in with the test. He lets you know your test answers and your grades at every test so there is no confusion on your grade. I would definitely take him again. FUNNY guy!
I was really scared to take math but going off these reviews was the best choice. There are only three testes which your grade is based off but don't get scared he assigns homework for extra credit so its optional you do not need the book he is funny and very caring. I will take again for my next math class.
Soon top of being cute, he is super easy. I got an A in his class easily. Most people don't show up until exam day. The exams consist of 10 to 12 questions, and there are only 3, no final! I must mention this was the easiest class ever and i always dreaded math!
He was an awesome professor! Super cool and understanding. He doesn't take attendance. Allows re-takes on all tests. 4 tests 10 questions. Homework is extra credit. TAKE HIM!
Omg hes gorgeous. He kinda has a Hugh Hef vibe. Anyway, hes the bestest Professor. Hes like a dream come true. He makes other professors look like tyrants! I love him! He is an easy A and he is so nice. I bet he got a lot of dates back in his day. If you take him be prepared to have a crush on him and want to retake his class. Im tempted!
Hes super easy, you won't regret taking him. by far one of the best professors I've had. He gives extra credit, his exams are easy. His teaching skills are great, he really breaks things down for you to understand.
Professor Travis is easily one of the finest professors I've ever had in my college career. I am not a strong math student and I am getting a B in this class because of what an incredible professor he is! He's also super hilarious, which makes learning very fun in his class. He's very lenient about attendance. 5/5. Amazing guy.
great professor
Amazing prof! I took this class to satisfy the core component area option and definetely reccommend this prof! Super easy, only 3 tests and HW is extra credit onto test grade.
Just take him. He is literally the best mathematics teacher I have ever had, and I am HORRIBLE at math. I literally got a high A in the class and enjoyed it too. He is really chill, and really just teaches you what to know. He gets that we have other classes as well, so he does a great job of working around your schedule if you ask. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
The BEST math professor / teacher Ive ever had. He clearly explains the concepts so you UNDERSTAND what you're doing. He also teaches in a way that helps you apply math to every day life. seriously, If I took him in grade school I would probably have gone further in life. I recommend him to everyone and I learned a lot from his class.
