He's a really good teacher, and knows what he's talking out. Hes a really fast grader, if you want to know your grades right away. He doesn't check homework,and there are no quizzes. If you come to class everyday, you don't even really have to buy the book. I didn't. The only bad thing is that if youre honors, there's a project I wasnt too fond of.

Mr. Koff is a pretty cool guy. His tests are very similar to his reviews, and although he does not check for HW, I'd highly recommend doing it. He goes over any questions you have before starting the lesson each day. Take him, he's great!

Great teacher. Pretty straightforward class, 4 tests that make 75% of the grade, final is 25%. Final takes the place of your lowest test grade if it's higher. He knows the subject and explains things very well. He is helpful when questions are asked. Overall, a solid math teacher, I highly recommend him.

Mr Koff is an amazing math teacher. Look its college, and its math, if you want to do good, apply yourself! He doesn't check H.W. or assign quizzes. I have a feeling all the idiots giving bad reviews probably didn't even do the H.W. This guy is a very good teacher, follow his advice, do H.W., ask questions, and he will show you the way.

I took his Precal course over the summer. He is an excellent teacher; very helpful and understanding. His tests were mostly easy (some were multiple choice!), although I suspect he dumbed it down a little for the summer semester. For someone who isn't crazy about math, he is a godsend. I'm planning on taking him again for Calc 1.

read the book, do the homework, and study hard for his tests. He usually scans through the chapter very quickly and give examples straight from the home. Take him if you good at Math

One of the best math professors I ever had! Always there if you need help. Only grades tests! So no other BS assignments to keep up with!

I thought this class was going to be a nice class, he wants us to study his study guide and the tests have nothing to do with it. He scans through the chapters very quickly. If you need extra help from Math, he's not the one.

Drop him right now before its too late!I pointed out to him that he did not give me partial credtits on 2 exams and he said it won't make a big difference! waste of money and time. Its ok for him to make some mistakes in class but during the test...sorry, no partial credit and each question is worth 5-6 points so tests are the killers!

Mr. Koff is a great math teacher. He explains the material very well, and he is always willing to help you If you take the time to reach out to him. He does not assign homework or quizzes on Webassign-- which was a relief. I would recommend taking his class. Math was not my strong subject, but I ended up with a A. Great teacher!

After taking a college algebra teacher who gave up wonderful notes and helped up understand the math in class. Koff isn't a easy teacher. Most of class time, he is going over homework and we don't even get homework for a grade. When he teaches the lesson, he runs out of time so he doesn't go over the whole section. Test is 75% of our grade.

I loved Koff. I do think that you need a strong foundation in math to succeed in this class. We had five test, a final, and a project (math paper). He is willing to help you during his office hours however he is strict about them. No extra credit. Our lowest test grade was dropped and replaced with your final grade.

He is nice teacher, all you have to do is attend his class… finish all assignments then the tests are easy ... ask him anything you didn't understand.

Literally just show up and you're good. You don't even need to do his assignments but it's for your own good if you do. He gives you a test review the class before the test and that is exactly what's going to be on the test. He makes sure everyone in class understands before he moves on. He uses the most basic things to pass his message. Do take!

Professor Koff has the ability to break down the lecture so whatever was being taught was understandable. He took time before class to answer questions from the hw further clarifying the material. Even if you still do not understand the material he is there during office hours and is more than willing to walk you through the steps.
