This was a frustrating class. He's a great person with so much knowledge but I didn't feel like he could come down to our level. He was so fast with some things and showed us short cuts before we actually knew the material so it was confusing. He should stick to teaching the advanced classes. I just hope I pass...and I'm a A student.

Professor Breen made the subject matter easy to digest. I have not had math in 15 years, so I was very scared to take this class. He teaches you the calculator, held a special study session before our final and is very approachable. His scoring is "odd", but it benefits everyone. Be careful though...study EVERYTHING for the test!

Do the work and you will pass. Show up to class and ask for clarity when you don't understand a concept (they build off each other) and you will do well. You have to try to fail.

professor breen is a great guy. he understands that we have lives so he lets us come late, let's us leave early, and doesn't mind if we get up to go answer a phone call. BUT, he's very hard of hearing. and he doesn't have anywhere online to check grades so for our final grade we have to email him. its been 4 days and he still hasn't responded to me

Professor Breen is a pretty fair professor. He wants students to do well. He sometimes doesn't hear the questions asked and can move very fast, but he's always been willing to stay after and explain something again. Math has always been my struggle, but I was able to get an A by attending every class, going to math lab, and studying/practicing.

He really made statistics which can be scary easy to learn and understand. I that it was very helpful one of his former students worked in the math lab in the library so he knew exactly how to help. Also loved that he sends a copy of his notes (a study guide/ work sheet that you go through during class together.) to the math lab.

Be sure to speak up, he is hard of hearing. Don't think he is ignoring your questions, just make sure he knows you have one, and he'll answer it. This class is good for people who aren't math majors. Be sure to show up, he gives you a sample test to take home and try out. Do it because the test are the same questions with different numbers.

I'm not good in math so this class was tough, but he is very clear on what he expects from his students and gives reviews and goes over them before every test. ASK QUESTIONS! He is there to help! Although he gets confused sometimes, he's pretty clear when teaching and wants his students to pass

I took him for MAC1105 and STA2023, and I have just never understood math. But Professor Breen is the most helpful, compassionate, kind professor Ive had at FSCJ & Im a junior. He genuinely cares about his students well being in class and outside of class. He's very understanding and generous with makeup work. highly recommend professor Breen

Mr. Breen is a wonderful teacher. He is compassionate and helpful, and will always answer any questions or concerns you may have. He doesn't assign too much work, and gives you the option of doing it; if you do the homework, you'll do better on tests and pass, but he lets you decide to do it or not. He's also very understanding about absences!

Wouldn't take again

I used My Math Lab on all my other math classes except for this College Algebra class. The transition was very difficult for me. I felt like if you weren't up to his speed, you just weren't going to get. I personally had a hard time understanding, he moves quickly. I had to drop the class

If you're not an "A" student DO NOT take this class.

There is a cheap textbook which you work in he makes you buy and obviously it's worth it. Step-by-step for each concept and he is open to questions. The practice helps you with the concepts you're unsure about, and best of all he gives you an entire practice test identical to the ones he gives. Great class- I still use his notes to this day.

He doesnt give any math lab. Everything is in his books. If you dont feel like showing up he doesnt take attendance after the first 2 days and after that it is all up to you

There's no MathXL and he doesn't update grades on blackboard. His class is 5 test, no midterm or final. You can only retake test one. He's a good teacher but a little hard of hearing. He doesn't require you come to class and you must pass 3 tests to pass the class. The test are to the point and moderately hard, unless you study.

He talks quite a bit, but he tells good stories. He literally tells you exactly what is going to be on the test. Makes understanding the material very easy. I took him for statistics the following semester.
