Very Helpful and accommodating. Willing to give extra help. Available by phone. Seems to really enjoy teaching.
Loved having him as a teacher! if I couldn't take a class with him again I would do so! Thanks Teach!
Outstanding old school teacher. Very patient. A pleasure to attend his class. Would recommend to anyone!
Mr Bauer was a great teacher! He breaks the problems easily and adds his crazy jokes to keep the class light and enjoyable. This makes the class go by quickly plus he makes it fun while I was taking a "non-fun" course. Wish he taught College Algebra!
Mr. Bauer was a great teacher. Very fun with all the jokes he makes & old school with his style of teaching. Makes learning math at night fun!
amazing teacher. willing to go out of his way to help.
The overall calss was not difficult, you just need to pay attention when he does notes which is every class. There are a lot but he does this to give you as much information needed to pass. He is very helpful and likes to keep class lively with many jokes, not good ones but he tries. Just show up and he will help you pass.
AWESOME!!!! YOU CAN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER! GREAT MATH PROFESSOR.
If you are looking for a professor that cares, teaching is in his nature, is funny, is clean and disciplined in his work, returns quizzes, and tests in a timely manner, goes above and beyond (literally), he gave an extra class just for us to practice the final exam, this is the professor you are looking for. He is the BEST ever!
Professor Bauer is awesome! He is very down to earth and wants to see students succeed. He makes math easy with his teaching style. I highly recommend him.
Great Teacher. Very patient and very helpful. Teaches at a class level. He will also stay after for questions. Wish he taught more math classes. Keeps class lively. Teaches math in real world terms so you can relate. He made class very enjoyable. Many of his quiz and test questions are exactly copied from homework and lecture.
Amazing professor who really cares and breaks down instructions on how to solve the problems so they can be understood. Engages the entire class, sincerely wants his students to succeed.
Professor Bauer breaks down everything so you can understand it, homework isn't mandatory, but I would advise it. That's the only thing that you use the book for. He goes over everything on the test the class before, so it is hard to fail anything.
Wonderful, very patient, helpful, and objective Professor!Classes are very well organized; practice tests are almoust the same as real tests, and there are no surprises or any confusion! I recommend him to everyone!
I suck at Math and was not looking forward to this class. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had and you're an idiot if you don't take him. He actually cares. I loved going to class, he's very funny! I miss it, to be honest.
This is a developmental class, When he explains an equation, he leaves steps and explanations out, and just expects you to know. I do not recommend his class to anyone. This is the first negative rating I have made and out of 16 professors I've rated.
GREAT TEACHER! I ACTUALLY HATE MATH AND HE MAKES IT AN INTERESTING COURSE. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HIM FOR ANYONE WHO STRUGGLES WITH MATH.
Nice Guy. Funny Guy. However if you need to see a problem step by step please DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!! I need to see all steps. That's why I'm in this class so I can get to College Algebra but he believes in saying the step, not showing it. I'm sorry nice guy but this class started out very full but now there are about 13 people! :(
Mr. Bauer is prob the best teacher I have ever had and I'm 38. Whatever he earns in salary is not enough. I would seriously consider giving this guy a kidney if he needed it and that says a lot. Have I mentioned he is the best! I love him and I'm a straight male. He is the type of guy you would want to hang out with outside of school; Hilarious!
Professor Bauer is super excellent. Please if you hate math you will love it forever. He is the best. He is very patient and always ready to make the confused and lost student fall in the right path. I loved loved his class
Nice guy but horrible professor if you struggle with math please Do NOT take him. He does not explain step by step he thinks you should know all the material.Well if you knew you would not need to take the class in the first step.He does not help you if you get stuck please Do not make the same mistake I made..
If you struggle with math and just want to pass, take him. If you struggle with math and want to learn that math, don't take him. Easy tests.
If you need an interpreter do not take this class because he points the interpreters out too often and you might feel awkward.
I have a disability and I got an A from working hard and applying myself , this guy is the best as far as a person teacher etc. I'm 43 and he's the best teacher I've ever ever had.They just don't make teachers like this anymore! You have to not want to do well or not try or not bother going to class if you do not pass this class!!!
I took Professor Bauer for intermediate algebra after failing the class 3 times before. Its not possible to be worse at math then me. He helps you in several ways to make sure that you pass his class. I finally passed this math class because of him. If you are horrible at math and need to pass TAKE HIM
The Mr. Bauer, great guy, funny and lively. doesnt make the class boring and he understands how boring it is so he has a good balance. if you show up to class 30 minutes early or so sometimes he might run over the whole lesson with you which will help you get a clearer understanding of whats going on.
BEST MATH PROFESSOR!! He explains very well, he is very funny which keeps you alert and focused on his class. I had to retake on of my math classes and I passed the class with this teacher because he made it look SUPER EASY! I would recommend you this professor !!! I give him 10/10 . He is not very strict, he is just a lot of fun !
Great professor, i didn't exactly deserve to pass but he helped me along and i eventually got it. Really nice and cool guy, i'm going to definitely take him again. The professor before me didn't care and i failed miserably but Professor Bauer was great and very helpful. 1010
Professor Bauer is the best. He clearly goes over the material and makes it easy to understand.
ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO PASS 1033 TAKE HIM! THIS WAS MY 3RD TIME TAKING THIS CLASS I AM VERY BAD AT MATH AND I HAVE A B IN HIS CLASS. HE REALLY CARES. SHOW UP AND STUDY AND YOU WILL DO GOOD. HE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL. HE GIVES YOU SO MANY CHANCES TO DO GOOD. THE TEST ARE PRETTY EASY AND HE GIVES A REVIEW RIGHT BEFORE. BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN
By looking at prior reviews, I went ahead and decided to take Professor Bauer's class. I am horrible at math, but luckily professor Bauer's class is pretty easy. There are only a few tests. He does a review before each test. Do your HW & attend all classes because he will count those things towards your final grade. I passed and you can too!
Professor Bauer is AWESOME! He is very clear and explains the material very well! He is also hilarious which makes the class more fun. He is very helpful and he puts extra credit on all of the tests. I strongly encourage anyone needing to take intermediate algebra to take it with him!
Mr. Bauer was an amazing teacher! I have always been horrible with math, in fact, this was my second time taking 1033. Last time I had Krutcher, and withdrew bc is was horrible! Bauer really cares that you learn the material. He gives fantastic reviews for test (only 5), and very rarely takes up the whole class time with lecture. Great semester!
Professor Bauer is quite simply one of the best professors you could take. Not only is he a fantastic math teacher, but he is there for you and truly goes out of his way to help you. Do your best, listen and you WILL learn and pass. Lectures and classes are hilarious and his sense of humor is awesome. I strongly recommend his class.
This material can get hard, but he does his best at making sure each student understand the material, and breaks it down to be humerous and relatable. He also gives test reviews that tremendously helps with the tests (which he writes himself). Though he can easily offend someone who doesn't have a sense of humor, this class is great. Lots of notes.
An amazing teacher
By far the best Math Professor I've had during my college career, very clear cut and concise, explains everything well, keeps you interested with insane jokes and sports updates. All around great teacher. I missed two weeks of class for a vacation and only did half the homework and still passed.
Probably one of the funniest teachers I've ever had. Not necessarily a hard class, just do the MyMathLab, go to class and pass the tests. Not much else to it. He's a brilliant teacher.
One of the best teachers I ever had. I wish he taught College Algebra. If you want an awesome teacher this guy is for you
Amazing teacher. Is most definitely good at his job.
He cracks jokes constantly, really wants everyone to understand, and will go the extra mile to help you out if you ask for it.
Very easy only 5 tests, a final, and just Mathlab. He makes it really easy to pass and you only have to attend classes on test days if you know the material.
This guy tells dad jokes like no one else. Really good guy from a time when the world wasn't so sensitive and politically correct. If you're taking this class it's likely that you struggle with math. He is great a walking you through every step. Highly recommended.
His class is always so funny and he loves to tell jokes. He is also very willing to help if you don't understand something and even offers to stay after class if you are confused. He also loves chocolate chip cookies.
He is very funny and cracks dad jokes. Overall an enjoyable class. His tests are fairly easy compared to the other teachers from what I heard from peers.
Awesome Professor, really cares about your work and you passing the class. I would definitely take him in the future if I could. Keeps the classroom lively and makes sure you understand the work. Really appreciated all he did for me this semester!!
very easy to deal with, makes learning look like fun. never miss any of his class because it was always fun to be in. im not good at math but with him i learned and understood a lot.
He is wonderful. He loves cookies, chocolate chip. He is funny, very helpful with ways of remembering formulas and rules. Ask him to do the "airplane." I think that is about the 4th week or so. Stay current on "My Math Lab" it is very, very important. He should get about 16 chili peppers just for his "hotness" at algebra!! Thank you Professor
amazing teacher! he will help you if you need it and answers all questions. lets you know your grade if asked. I haven't gotten below a c on a test all semester and that was because I didn't ask questions about the things I did not understand. ask and you can get an easy a in this course. online portion mandatory but it helps with the test.
Bauer is a terrific teacher, with a great personality. The tests are fairly easy and he grades them on a curve.
Great Professor. I've taken MAT 1033 several times and after taking it with him I've finally passed. He responds to your emails. If you need help you could ask him. He is caring and very helpful. I highly recommend Professor Bauer.
Overall I would say he is a Great Professor. I've taken MAT 1033 several times and after taking it with him I've finally passed. He responds to your emails. If you need help you could ask him. He is caring and very helpful person. I highly recommend taking Professor Bauer.
Professor Bauer is amazing! I think I really suck at math, and he will sit there and help with whatever problems you need extra help on. He is very encouraging, and so hilarious! He is one awesome guy, and I really wish he taught college algebra because I would be taking him in the fall. Fully recommend him.
I really had fun in this class if u work hard and do all your work u will pass easy I took him this summer and I actually miss him funny teacher
I took his class based off of the ratings, but since i am already familiar & good at algebra his class was my least favorite. None of the homework is due until the very last day so if you don't have the motivation to do it on your own i don't recommend taking the class
Rod has to be the best teacher I've ever had at SSC. A perfect attendance will aid in your grade. The teacher is funny and smart.
Wish he taught other courses
Bauer was, for lack of better words, adorable. He tries so hard to keep class entertaining and fun, giving math a hard time instead of us students. All the MyMathLab material is due at the end of the semester which provides us with time to focus on the biweekly tests. He genuinely cares and does everything he can to help out in any way he can.
Im not the girl for math but Professor Bauer is AMAZING. He is super helpful and goes over all material. Stay on top of you Math Labs because they will get you through and show up to class. He makes jokes all the time and has great humor. He is very understanding and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you pass. GREAT CLASS.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. He cracks jokes in class so it's entertaining, and really cares if you understand or not, he wants to make sure you do the best you can on the tests. Attendance matters in this class, and there is a lot of mymathlab, but if you have to take this course, take Professor Bauer. Wish he taught more class
Best math teacher I've ever had. Never had an "A" in a math class before, he really sets up his class and students for success. I wish he taught all math classes!
Great teacher!
Prof Bauer has his notes to copy online which is great if you want to get ahead. He has all of the homework due at the end of the term. He is caring and takes his time with students. He made the class fun! He is not tough on attendance but I recommend you do not miss a class to better understand the material.
I absolutely hate Math and it has been over 30 years since I took a math class. You must do your homework and his class notes are available online via Facebook. I am so glad I chose professor Bauer, not sure I would have passed otherwise.
Great professor. If you do the work and show up, you will pass the class. He is fun and makes it enjoyable. Would definitely recommend him if you want to pass.
PLEASE TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!! I promise you won't regret it. He is sooooo good at explaining everything and he loves answering questions. He makes jokes the whole class and is genuinely funny. Tests are exactly like the examples he gives. We almost never stay the whole class time. I honestly wish i could take him for every math course.
i loved going to this class, Professor Bauer made learning math alittle more fun. he has some jokes that honestly kept the class going even if they were bad. hes willing to help you in anyway and i wish he taught more math classes.
Professor Bauer is amazing, I wasn't bad at math but didn't like it, Professor Bauer made me fall in love with math and I actually enjoyed learning it!! Great teacher, even if you aren't a fan of math
Math is hard for me but Professor Bauer cares and is really there to help you. He is very open to questions to make sure you understand the material. He's also very funny in class and has amazing stories, it's very refreshing. His grading is very clear as well. One of my favorite Professors at this college.
I feel like today the year of 2020 he does not care about his job anymore compared to the students who rated him in the past. He does not have a structure when he is explaining how to do a math problem. He is all over the board not numbering his problems as well he makes you get on facebook to get lessons and homework. Which unacceptable.
Mr. Bauer actually cares about his students! He is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that everyone succeeds. He is also a part-time comedian so be prepared to laugh.
Bauer is a caring professor . He cares that you past . And gives you exact directions on how to pass it. You have 4 quizzes and my math lab . My math lab is very important cause it contains the most questions of homework plus it helps on test as well as his practice quiz.
Professor Bauer is a super kind older man w/ a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. He talks a lot & is pretty funny. Don't waste your money on the book, he teaches from his notes on his FB group. He will stay after class & help as much as he can. He really wants you to succeed. You can reach him by email anytime. Only 4 exams plus the final.
Professor Bauer went out of his way to make this class a good experience. Whenever I needed help I just had to ask, he was willing to meet after class to go over h.w., tests, whatever I needed. I never felt like a bother to him, He's genuinely very caring. Even when forced online, he did everything he could to help us cope and succeed in his class.
Very good professor, I am lost in math and he made it fun and enjoyable, thank you for working with me, I would recommend this professor especially if you have a hard time in math
I did drop this class, so idk if this belongs here: Do NOT take this professor IF you are not okay with hearing him talk about religion and quoting the Bible+discussing people from the Bible (8 times in one class). Also, he uses a small whiteboard, not a screenshareI dropped because I was unable to read anything he put up. A nice+funny guy though.
I usually wrote the notes before class so it wasn't mandatory to be in the call since his videos were pre-recorded explaining everything. The MML is a lot but just don't wait until the last second to complete them. Tests are fairly easy if you just GO OVER THE TEST PREP for that module. Great professor and I enjoyed the semester with him!
Dr. Bauer was a fabulous professor with dry humor who always tried to keep things interesting. He taught from his notes, was always accessible and really cared. Be prepared for a lot of homework, but it definitely helped. I returned back to college after a 28 year gap with math/algebra NOT a strong suite. I PASSED! TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
Basically just show up to the zooms, lockdown browsers without cameras on tests the only time the camera was on was for the final which he gave us lots of study guides for.
Professor Bauer is a very engaging teacher, he explains the content in a manner that easy to understand. Hes supportive of your success in his class.
He's GREAT!! I'm not strong in math but had no problem passing is class. He gives good study guides and notes and it actually prepares you for the test. He's really fair and wants you to pass.
Prof Bauer is the nicest and easiest professor. He grades everything right away and gives study guides that really prepare you for the tests. Homework is due at the end of the semester and he answers his emails right away. Other than tests and homework there's no other work. Zooms were good, but not always mandatory.
Amazing teacher! Kind and well respected. If you need to take MAT 1033. Take the class with Professor Bauer.
He is a cool and funny professor, as long as you do the assignment and test on time, it shouldn't be hard to pass the course.
Professor Bauer is the best, I cannot get math and he made it possible with little ques that I can remember. He is available in and outside of class, text, phone. If is prompt when reach out to him. If would review with students after class for one to one if students have more questions. Thank you for teaching Intermediate Algebra. MyMathLab.
Don't even think about it, enroll to his class. Easiest class, you will pass no matter what. He's HILARIOUS. makes math enjoyable. and I HATE math. Tests and quizzes are almost identical to the reviews and practice tests. He's a considerate professor who just wants to see you succeed. I'm going to miss him so much.
Prof Bauer is amazing, I hate math, but he made the class so enjoyable, homework is do at the end of the semester and he allows notes on one of the tests. I bought the textbook but didn't need it because his lecture covered everything, and all notes are uploaded to canvas!! Great teacher, I definitely recommend him!
I loved Mr.Bauer so much! He's a bit old but his jokes are super silly and his lectures are so entertaining. He loves football lol. There is a bit of homework because of Lumen but either way he's an amazing teacher like god bless him fr. He let us take home a test and opened quizzes so we could get a higher grade in the class! I 100% recommend him!
I have learned nothing in this class. He doesn't give you time to take notes and doesn't explain what he's doing on the board when going through a problem either! he seems like a ok guy (if you can tolerate his bad jokes and weird comments about women) but I've learned more from youtube than any of his lectures. 0/10 RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!
Hes Ok, haven't learnt barely anything from the lectures as he goes super fast and you're better off just doing the test reviews which are helpful and similar to the test. Better off just doing the homework and test reviews to prepare than taking notes.
As someone who was taking AP classes in highschool, he was a very easy professor. I graduated early with a low SAT score which is why I had to take this lower math course first, but he knows what he's talking about and is eager to help you better understand. He makes lots of corny jokes though, so be ready. Tests are exactly like practice tests.
I don't know why some people are so negative about him. He was a pleasure to be around, I got hospitalized during the semester and was so understanding and accommodating and it was the day before the final. He was very caring, made things simple. Be prepared to write quickly though in his class. Be good to him and he will be good to you!
Professor Bauer is amazing and phenomenal! I took his class online in the fall of 2022 and he was pretty funny and caring. Homework is normally on pearson which we use online, but the amount of work we receive is due at the end of the semester which gives us plenty of time to do it. The tests and quizzes are similar from the notes which is good.
