Summer class. Everything was crammed in in like 8 weeks. The course was difficult. He grades all homework. No notes are allowed on any quizzes or tests.
he is very smart at what he is doing he just needs to slow down so the rest of he class can catch up with him.
He needs to slow down a little bit but he is always there for his students when them need him. He is a great teacher and an all around nice guy

Best math teacher that I have ever had...even though he moves fast he is always there to help and writes everything you should know on the bored. GREAT teacher!
Horrible teacher. I ended up dropping his class because he was incapable of teaching. Unless you're an expert in Math, do not take him.
Awesome instructor - very helpful & topics explained very clearly - if you can't learn it from him, you won't learn it from anyone!
Take Professor Clark easy A to get in the class take the notes, do the homework and study for them boring tests and you'll pass with an A+++++ like i did :-)

awesome teacher, he is so clear, and if you dont understand it, he comes up to your desk and helps you out there. your def. lucky if you get this guy!
He doesn't expalin things very well and he consintrates more on copying his notes on the board. Make sure you do your homework cause he collects all of it.
THIS GUY IS GOOD
Mr. clark is great!! I took him for all my math classes and he is honestly the best teacher I have ever had
GOOD TEACHER, i did fail his class, and now that i have a different teacher i realize what a good teacher he is, i should of taken advantage while i had him.. keep up the good work .
Great teacher.
Mr. Clark does his job well. He is a "note-giver" and is very clear in describing the steps needed to perform algerbraic functions. Students must commit to holding up their end of the bargain by doing all homework assignments and reviewing notes to do well in his class. He gives lots of quizzes. He also has a very fair grading system.
Great teacher! I never understood or passed an algebra class in my life,and so far (pending on my final) I have an A. I f you have an opportunity to take his class do it! You'll be glad you did.

Very good teacher. Repeats everything which is helpful. Big on homework but does not collect all of it. Very easy to understand.
Great teacher. Very clear. Do all homework and take notes.
Prof. Clark was the best math teacher I have ever had. He makes the material reachable for everyone.
This professor is awesome, He is really heavy on HW but does not collect it. He makes math easy for everyone who tries. Excellent professor Two Thumbs up!
this teacer is the worst i have ever had. i have passed all other math classes with an A to and A+ and in his class i got a D-. All he does is give examples and doesnt teach. more than half of my class droped because of him. when i asked him a question in class he rolled his eyes and made fun of me and told me that he wont help me or explain it and
He is very easy to understand and goes over everything you have trouble with. He assigns homework every night, but never collects it b/c he hates paperwork. He goes over everything on tests before and after. His notes are kind of weird, but related to subject matter. I think he is the best math teacher I've had in years, and hope I get him again!!
WONDERFUL teacher! Gives excellent notes and explains the material in such a manner that it is easy to understand. Be sure to do your homework and take notes in class!
Gives a lot of extra help if needed. Tests are difficult.
you gotta give him credit...he knows that everyone hates math yet he constantly tries to keep us interested, make us laugh, and make the material easy to learn. i hate math and just needed it for the credit and i had no trouble gettin though the classid reccomend him to anyone...its hard to find a decent math teacher anyways
He is an awesome teacher.. Not only does he teach well he will help you with any problems you are having. Not only is he a great Math teacher he is by far on of the best teachers i have ever had. Anyine who thinks otherswise must have been sleeping through the classes!! Thanks Mr. Clark
always struggled with math, but he made it fun!
professor clark is a great teacher. everyone hates math and he knows that but makes class fun and interesting. makes alot of corny jokes and stuff like that but overall a great guy if you want a fun easy math class. im taking him again this semester for a second math course i liked him so much!!!
Mr. Clark is the best Math teacher on the planet. If you can't pass his class, pick something else to do with your life! He is so clear and so thorough, I wish I was a math major just to take more of his classes! Sooooo helpful!!!
An amazing teacher; I hated math prior to taking this course, but it was mandatory for me. He made it understandable, and he took the time to illustrate all difficult areas.
Prof. Clark is awesome. He defines what you are doing and demonstrates what quantitative relationships mean so you have a firm grasp of what you are doing. I recommend him to any student who has trouble with mathematics.
i took math with him 2x as long as you go to class and do the hw you will be fine
He is a very good teacher. He is very helpful, and is understandable. He's not confusing, and actually makes math easy.I recommend him if you are not good in math.
he's a g..heavy note taking is a must but hes a good teacher and his tests and quizes are straight forward. recommend taking his classes for sure
Coolest math professor I've had at Tunxis. His jokes are hilarious.
great prof- I tell everyone who has take math to take Clark.
awesome teacher the best math teacher i have ever had i am taking him again next semester
Best Professor I have ever had. Professor Clark makes class fun and enjoyable. I don't care for math and he makes it so easy!! His jokes are horrible but it's still funny. He wants his students to do well and he will help you out with anything. I even took another one of his classes. Take this professor he is the best!!
by far the best teacher yet. If you struggle with mathmatics def recommend prof clark for you
I'm really not sure why his ratings are so high except that most of the people that have rated him took intermediate algebra. For calculus his class was extremely difficult and our third test average was a 64 which I think speaks for itself. Dont take him.
Straightforward, clear & helpful. If you pay attention in class & do your homework, exams should be easy. Always willing to help outside of class if needed. Can't imagine a better teacher to help you learn the material if you put in the expected effort. I'm taking him for another course - liked him that much.
Pretty good teacher, but no Mr.Metro (who is awesome btw). His only fault was that he spent too much time watching people fumble through problems instead of spending that time teaching at the board. I'll fumble through problems at home, teach me while I'm in class.
Best professor ever. Take him!!
Literally the best professor ever!! I don't like math but Professor Clark made the class so much fun!! Take him!!
He spent more time on individuals in class instead of a whole. I would not recommend him at all! very dry personality and no sense of humor
Professor Clark is the absolute best. He make math enjoyable and also have his students best interest at heart.
very clear notes, fair grader, i thought it was an easy class. definitely recommend.
Does not understand math at all and should be fired. If you are able to self teach and work with the tutors you will pass, other than that your screwed. I don't know how he can call himself a teacher... he doesn't teach anything....
IF you are taking a higher level math course with him prepare to fail. stay away. All of these reviews are from students who took lower level courses im guessing because his college algebra class was terrible, with a class average of 65%. i cant imagine what his pre calc would be like. take Barbara O'Rourke for college algebra.
this guy is good. if you can't learn it from him you ain't gonna learn it, find something else to do with your life
Took him twice and would take him again. GREAT teacher, especially if math is not your strongest subject.
Lectures are very thoughtfully prepared and easy to follow. However, what is the point of homework and practice exams if he strays to far from the covered subject matter when preparing tests. If you take his class be sure that you know the following by heart: rules for derivatives,integrals, trig functions, exponential functions,oh hell everything.
Phenominal teacher! I've had him for Calc 2, Multivariable Calc, and Dif Eq. All three times his schedules and expectations are laid out simply and understandably. His classes are extremely helpful and well structured. If I had to take more math classes beyond DifEq I would definitely take them with Clark. If you care even a little, you'll love him
This teacher was very good. He was able to keep all of his students challenged, while making sure everyone understood the material.
I took Clark for the first time in precalculus and other people told me he would be a tough teacher. I threw caution to the wind and took him anyway. His lectures are thorough, if you miss a class you will probably fall behind. However, he is always willing to get together and help with anything you are struggling with. Great teacher!
Love this guy! Best math teacher I've ever had. Let me tell you, he's clear, methodical & breaks things down real well for you to understand. Math is a tough subject to find humor in but he sure brings it. Hope I get him for my future math courses.
Best teacher I ever had for a math class. He is always willing to help all who really working hard and want the help. You have to try your best and show up. He challenges you and definitely keeps you working hard. Fair grading and lectures are thorough. Answers all questions and is always giving guidance to correct where your off track.
Professor Clark is a fantastic teacher! There are no surprises and he is very easy to follow. His notes are clear and he always makes himself available for extra help. I highly recommend future students to take any required math course with him.
College Algebra class had an average 72. Really. Why? The only two people that did well in the course is because it was their second time around. Screwed up my GPA.
Wouldn't recommend taking his class. He's easy to follow and understand, just he's not a fair grader. This is a community college, c'mon. Give us a break. If you're not so good at math, you will not pass his class.
Best math professor, makes math easy to understand and he is hilarious
Professor Clark is HANDS DOWN the best math teacher/professor/whatever you want to call it I've experienced to date. This guy is hilarious! hands down my favorite professor I have had to date. Professor Clark is a role model for all (especially math where professors are terrible) college professors. If you can, take him no matter what the cost!!!
I've had Professor Clark for most of my math classes at Tunxis. I took him for the entire calculus sequence and did very well. Show up, do the work assigned, and ask questions if you need help. He explains the material very well and and really knows the material. Best math professor at Tunxis.
Great profesor!
Great professor took class during winter session , attendance required lots of homework but it prepares you for exam. Excellent teacher!! Worth taking!
He was comical and made sure everyone in class understood what was going on. I took this math class two previous times with other professors and he was by far the best.
Homework problems are to a much higher degree of difficulty, but if you do them the quizzes and exams are far easier. Partial credit is also given pretty leniently even if incorrect answers are given. Office hours are tough because they are usually late evening hours or early afternoon hours. Other than that, one of the best professors I've had.
He is a punny professor who really cares. He is willing to help you if you are willing to ask for it and work for it. He knows his stuff and while he is a very tough grader he pushes his students and wants you to succeed.
Math has always been difficult for me. He speaks clearly and slow and makes sure everyone is following what he's explaining before moving on. Definitely going to try and take him for intermediate algebra next semester.
He is such a great math professor!! Ive always had difficulty in math and this semester i actually enjoy and like math because of his teaching skills.. highly recommended if you struggle with math
I had professor Clark throughout Calculus series (1,2,3,4). He is an incredible professor, I would take him for any of my classes ! He is clear on topics, be prepared to do a lot of hw but math can't be learn without practicing, exams are very similar to review done in class and hw problems.
He is professional, nice, it's obvious he genuinely cares if you're getting the material or not, his passion for math is kind of contagious I also like his teaching style. It's routine and never any surprises. He has a good sense of humor and throws jokes in. Would highly recommend ��
Highly recommend - he cares about teaching students and makes math interesting. He cracks jokes to retain attention & understands that the students in his class range in skill level. Show up to class & participate, it will be recognized. Homework is a lot but counts... and actually helps. This will truly benefit you! Study guides similar to tests.
This professor is the best professor at Tunxis. Very organized with his lectures also thorough. Homework is very helpful. Gives reasonable quizzes and tests. Professor Clark made math so much understandable. Always offer to explain any questions. The class was hard for me but I still pass. I would take it again with this Professor specifically
Clark is truly incredible one of the best profs that I ever had at Tunxis. He makes math interesting even for those who usually hate it like me trust me I'm in 085 and he makes it so fun highly recommend for anyone struggling in math. He's generally a mathematician his teaching method outstanding he perfect for developmental and advance mathematics
Downright one of the best profs that you can get at Tunxis I highly recommend him for anyone who struggles with math this guy is so dedicated he is generally one of the most understanding& genuine professors that you'll ever have here .He is generally a rare type of professor who actually cares and understands. He's also one hardest working too!
Very thorough in lectures and provides phenomenal feedback. Only downside is he is kind of old school, and by kind of, very old school. You won't know your grade until the semester is over. Was a tougher class for me because my high school teachers taught me completely different mathematical strategies, learning new ones was a challenge.
i took Professor Clark in a winter intermediate algebra course all online he was amazing very good to work with. the workload was pretty good not too much at all. most definitely will be taking another course with him if I have to take math again. i would recommend his course if you are bad at math like I am his lectures were very easy to follow
Professor Clark is great. His lectures are very easy to follow. There is a decent amount of homework but if you understand the homework you'll ace the quizzes no problem. The final is very similar to the practice final so if you do well on the practice you'll do well on the in person final. Overall 10/10 professor.
Summer class is heavy: lots of homework, lectures not detailed, and mymathlab is essential. Be ready for independent work. The final exam was strict no notes, only clean paper, pen, and calculator and totally different from the online sample what professor gave. Grades were unclear until the end. Good for strong math students only!
"Don't do it!" Took in summer online- was unnecessarily difficult. I was miserable all summer. He gives you about 16 hours of homework a week, and his online lectures take place in a dungeon-like room with him writing things on a poorly lit whiteboard. If you fail the final, you fail the class, no matter how well you did on everything else.
I had to retake intermediate algebra to get a higher grade for my program, I am so glad I took his summer online class. I liked that I could just watch and rewatch his YouTube videos as my lecture. Online is not for everyone, but he made it easy for me.
