Grades you on attendence and will add to your grade at the end of the sem. if it will help you. Often confuses himself and is corrected, but very helpful on reviewing for quizzes and tests. Class is easy if you ask the questions you have.
This class is easy as long as u stay focused because u may find yourself drifting off and then your grade will drop... he drops the lowest test and quiz grade and gives u partial credit if u at least know what ur talking about!!!
Phenomenal teacher! He wants his students to focus more on learning the material instead of worrying about their grade, and if you keep up and come to class, it's honestly a pretty easy grade.
Awesome teacher, take him if you can! Very helpful, funny, and knows his math! Also you can tell he is a good person. Huge on the partial credit if you know what you are doing!
Great Teacher. Drops your lowest test score and many opportunities for extra credit here and there. Always prepares you well for tests and lets you know what to expect. Take his class!
Quite possibly the best Math prof I've ever had! Let me tell you, after a year out of school, I was nervous about taking up Math again, but I was able to do it without breaking a sweat with this guy. He's nice, he can admit mistakes, and very, very helpful. Take my word for it, you want this guy for your class.
You will never be unprepared for tests if you go to class. Wonderful teacher.
great teacher.....he is very helpful!!!!
Prof. Lott was very good. Easy going and makes a class that I am not interested in at least bearable. Very helpful and one of the best math profs I have had. Recommend highly.
this prof is incredible. best math professor. will work with u at any level and any question. highly recommended to everyone. take his class and you will be glad. do ur homework and listen to what he gotta say. 4.0 is easy to get but a 3.5 is a piece of cake. he really knows his stuff pretty good and makes sure his students succeed in class
NICE, FUN, EASY-GOING, HELPFUL,GOOOOOOOD~
Phenomenal teacher! He wants his students to focus more on learning the material instead of worrying about their grade, and if you have trouble on test problems-he doesn't hesitate to help go in the right direction, if you don't answer correctly, gives as much partial credit as you deserve. As much as I HATE algebra, I will miss going 2 his class!
He was fantastic! I have always struggled with math, and Professor Lott made it easy! He gives plenty of chances for extra credit and does his best to make sure everybody understands the material. He is great about helping you out if you need help and he's very understanding. If math isn't your strong suit, this is the professor for you!!!!!
sweet class
he's great. kinda dry but if you have to take math, take it with him.
Hands down the best math teacher I have ever had in my life. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and will go out of his way to help someone. A little boring, but it's a math class, so obviously fun won't be in the curriculum anyway.
Best Math instructor I've ever had.
Really awesome math prof. He will help whenever you need it. Willing to go the extra mile for students that show interest in a good grade. Do the work, you'll get a 4.0.
Very good math prof. Very clear at explaining and really cared about my grade and if i was getting it. He'll stop for like this two second pauses and stare out the window its kina funny and i know thats not a reason to take the class but it always made me laugh when he did it anyway you have to take him if you are taking a math class!
I loved him! He is very helpful, and does everything he can to give you an A. I would recommend him for any math class he teaches.
He is a great instructor. It is impossible for you to fail!!!
amazing prof! The best math teacher i've ever had! If you go to class, you are basically guarenteed a 3.0 at least! Awesome teacher!
Great teacher.
Sounds kind of a like a gameshow host... REALLY WANTS TO MAKE YOU PASS, so he is very helpful. Very direct and breaks down the chapters in an easy way to understand. Not very consistent about his Quiz scheduling, so don't skip-- you might miss a TEST. He drops 1 test and 1 Quiz, so that helps if you HAVE to miss one.
Wow! Mr.Lott is a very nice guy. He goes above and beyond to make sure his students can get a good grade. There is no way anyone should fail his class. He's great!!!
He is the sweetest guy and goes out of his way! You can tell that he really enjoys his job, and he let us know the first day that (long story short) he missed interacting with students and that's why he came back. I strongly believe that teachers who teach because they care about the students and not the paycheck are the best teachers out there.
best teacher at lcc. he really cares about his students and wants you to succeed! i only wish he taught the next math class.
I can't say much about him because I would just be repeating the 27 other reviews of this guy. He is an amazing teacher and very helpful to his students. I just wish he taught other math classes so I could take him again!
Very good Instructor. explains everything clearly and want everyone to to pass the class.
Mr. Lott makes is crystal clear that his goal for all his classes is that EVERYONE passes. He makes this goal a very easy one. What a great professor! If you have a chance take his class! His grading system is incredibly flexible! He will go over and over a subject until everyone completely understands. He's so helpful! LCC is lucky to have him!
I didn't learn anythign in his class. He constantly forgot what he was writing down and students corrected him on a daily basis. He didn't expalin what he was doing well and I had to ask more questions than I should have. It is true, however that he does want everyone to pass the class and he makes it easy to to so through re tests and ext. cred.
cool guy
Ron is an amazing professor. He is probably the most helpful math teacher you could possibly have. He is ALWAYS willing to help if you need it. If you do the homework, do the suggested review problems, and pay attention during the exam review sessions then you should easily 4.0 the class!
He did want all of his students to pass the class, but he did not explain the math at ALL. He wrote problems on the board and did them himself without even asking us to do it first or even tell him how to do. It's basically like an online class because you have to teach yourself. Very nice guy and he lets you re-test if you get less than a 74%
Very easy teacher, however, he is not very good at explaining things. If I hadn't already learned everything in the class I would have been really confused and lost. He is very kind, but he is also very boring. It's hard to stay awake most of the time.
R. Lott is the PERFECT math teacher. He does everything he can to help you pass
He is an amazing math instructor. I am terrible at math, but he explained everything in full detail and I was able to pass is class with an A. I would definitely enroll in a class with him if I need to take another math class.
Ron is a very nice guy, however, the smart kids in my clashad to correct his work quite a bit. He is rather old, and forgets his train of thought quite a bit. That being said, he offers a ton of extra credit, and 4.0ing his class is easy.
He is an excellent teacher. He does examples in class and the questions on his exams are similar. If you study your notes you will do great in the class. I enjoyed going to his classes.
Very nice guy. He wil gladly go over any problems that you may have. Lectures can be a bit unclear at times. Make sure to check his work, as he makes a few mistakes from time to time.
GREAT!! very helpful inside of class and outside!! TAKE THIS GUY!! Trust me I hate math!!
Excellent! Makes himself available and makes sure that you have other resources to help you understand the material. He truly wants you to be successful. This is the kind of instructor we all need. Communication skills are beyond commendable. Math is not an easy subject so he can't be rated and easy instructor.
Lott, is a great teacher. He's helpful and friendly. He really wants to help his students. He has a great sense of humor, especially since he makes mistakes often. However, he often doesn't cover all of the problem types in class. I blame most everything on the math book. Its worse than most math books. It only has one example per type of problem.
TAKE THIS GUY!!! TRUST ME LOL. IF U CAN TAKE HIM. .easy class. if u put iin work
Best teacher ever! He makes an intimidating class manageable. Explains everything clearly, no surprises on tests. I'm horrible at math and I haven't gotten anything worse than a 98% on a test so far. Takes the time to make sure you understand in a way that makes sense to you. I wish he taught more classes!!!
He is great: Goes slow so everyone can understand him, Works individually, and has a sense of humor. My favorite math instructor to date. Highly recommended.
He was very helpful and taught very well. Attending class was very important and he enforced it. Quizzes and tests were very easy and he prepared me for the final. I would DEFINITELY recommend him!
he is the best professor ever
Such a helpful teacher. Explains things well and really helps students to get a good grade. I missed a couple quizzes because I was sick and he let me retake them. He drops lowest test and 2 lowest quiz scores. Great office hours. More than willing to meet with students on and off campus. Definitely one of the best teachers ever.
Great professor! I wish he went beyond 121, 122. Math classes move fast; the instructors can't do a thing about that. But this man wants you "on board." Always, always choose Ron first and fast cause his classes are always full.
Extremely great teacher, best math prof at LCC. Exams are short and sweet and makes sure that you have everything you need before the exams. Does practice problems before exams and really tries hard to help you pass the class.
Mr. Lott is a fun teacher and a really cool guy. He is very open to answer any questions you have and makes sure you know what will be on the exams and that you know how to do those type of problems. Sometimes when he is lecturing he can get confusing but he will do a lot of examples on the board if you ask him to.
Mr. Lott is an awesome guy. He has some funny quirks that you'll grow to appreciate. Seriously though, it was one of the easiest and most fun math classes I've ever taken. Highly highly highly recommend.
Mr. Lott is a very nice instructor. He cares for his student's achievements. His main lectures are given in a traditional format, but he will answer as many questions/do as many examples as requested by students prior to any quiz/exam. He firmly believes in total disclosure about what to expect in grading/exams. He tends to make math not so scary!
Ron is an awesome professor. He does his best at making math as easy as possible and wants all of his students to succeed. I definitely recommend him!
He always asked if anyone had any questions. He's flexible to how you do you're homework which is great. Very detailed Prof. He's great.
The best teacher I've ever had. He goes over everything until you understand it. He tells you each type of problem that will be on the exam and asks if you want to go over them. He gives a really helpful study guide for the final. Super nice and really cares about his students. There's no way not to do good in his class.
If he is not the best professor for math of any level then I don't know who is. He may be old but he still is as sharp as a whip and super sassy! Very detailed teacher. Also he helps so much on tests and has the easiest ones.
Great teacher and a very good guy. He would answer your questions and did every thing he could to help you leaner the material. If you don't do well in his class, it is not the profs fault this time.
Very confusing professor. does not explain material well. not very helpful. my recommendation is if you do not have a great grasp on calculus don't take pre calc with this professor.
Mr. Lott is a great teacher! Enjoyed his class. Gives a lot of advice, extra credit and just an overall good professor!
THE BEST teacher I have ever had. He was so wonderful. I wish I could take him for all my math classes. To bad he said he might be retiring.
Ron, is a great teacher, but if you are looking for a teacher who will make it super easy for you then find someone else. His calls is not hard, but you have to study. He will make sure that all students are excellent in important material. Most of what he taught showed up on tests and exams. He's the best ever.
Lott is a good prof. He lets you choose between the text and website for homework. He is clear in instruction, but he practically gives away all of the answers. If you are advancing much further in Math then I would find a more technical teacher who gives a solid foundation. Super nice guy. Stands in front of board while working out problems.
He is an awesome and helpful teacher. His jokes are dad jokes and can make your day! He is clear about what you'll be tested on and explains problems well.
I've always been a math-whiz so this class was easy for me. Ron is funny in an old-guy sort of way. He gave us two email addresses along with his cell number to contact him. Kind of a mono-toned voice - might want to bring coffee if math isn't your thing. Bought the online MathLab thing for like $90 - huge mistake. Used it once for an online quiz.
Lott is a really cool guy. He genuinely wants all of his students to pass. He offers many opportunities to make up for lost credit. If you don't pass a class from him, it is honestly your fault. He gives a lot of quizzes but offers a lot of office hours to come and see him for clarification.
He's a good teacher. Really likes it when you participate in class and loves to answer questions. he wants you to get your moneys worth. The class is not that hard, only some of the homework is manditiory and the tests are not that hard and he gives good practice sections. would highly recommend if you have a hard time in math.
He literally lays out exactly what's going to be on each exam. Best professor I've ever had. Super easy and helpful.
great teacher, always willing to help if you ask. very clear and is always willing to explain further. class is very organized and on point to the schedule.
Ron is an old guy, but smart and funny and well dressed. He does his job and teaches you what you need to know for the final. He is clear and helpful. He loves it when you ask questions. Great first year college experience. Very easy class and test.
He was a great teacher, not the best with technology. He is very helpful and gives a lot of credit on tests if your try. I took this in the summer so it was accelerated, attendance matters. Definitely recommend him!
Show up for class and pay attention. He will go over plenty of examples and will tell you what will be and what won't be on the tests. He is an attentive professor who will thoroughly explain any complications you may have. Math isn't hard, it really depends on the quality of explanation the professor gives, which Ron does extraordinarily well.
His class is very easy, but I did not learn anything. After attempting to take the next class several times, I retook this one and really learned what I should have in his class. I liked that it was easy when I was in his class, but hated it later when I had to waste all that time and money retaking it to learn what he should have taught me to be.
He's a great guy, but not a great professor. He wasn't clear. I learned everything just by doing on my own and using the book as a guide.
Prof. Lott is an amazing math instructor. he can be funny in class sometimes, but he is always willing to take time out of his schedule to help students. He is one of the best math professors i have ever had.
Easy class, You have to do few of the work by yourself. He gives example that is similar to Quizzes and tests. Take his class Easy 4.0
Tells you everything you need to know. Great math professor.
Professor Lott is a great math instructor. He is very clear in explaining and gives as many examples as possible. He is always ready to help both in and out of classroom.
Very easy teacher, but does not prepare for next course. I had him and had to retake 121 after failing calc. My second 121 prof taught the course at the level is was supposed to be taught, and I could not believe how much I learned. After taking her, I got a 4.0 in my calc class. If you plan to go on, don't take him. If you want an easy A , he is
I had him twice because I didn't have a choice. Both times it was horrible. Math 121 he was an easy A, but I was so unprepared for 122, I failed. I took 122 the second time with him, he basically read the textbook to us. That's not teaching and it was brutal. He's slow and incredibly monotone. I'd avoid him if possible.
He was a cool prof, and his tests and quizzes were so easy and im awful at math loved this dude and he wore lcc shirts literally every class he was amazing
Professor Lott is a great math instructor. He goes slow when explaining newer material to make sure that you understand it. He is more than happy to answer any questions you have. Shows you a lot of examples and is very clear.
Professor Lott wants you to succeed and will do anything to see that happen. If you can take his class, I recommend doing so.
Ronald is a sweet guy. His class was crazy easy for me and I'm not a math lover. His lectures were pretty dry and put me to sleep but he's very kind to explain and answer questions. Wants all his students to pass. Only graded 1 assignment for each chapter by completeness. Outlined every question for each test and quiz. I never had to study.
Lott is by far the best math teacher I have EVER had. He is so caring and nice he puts a smile on my face almost everyday. He wants students to do well which is hard to find today in teachers. When it gets closer to exam and big test he has meetings at restaurants. Lovely guy, I wish the best for him. LCC is lucky to have him.
Professor Lott was the best!! I hate math classes but he made it super easy to understand and gives you the best opportunity to get a 4.0. I would highly suggest to take any Math class With Mr. Lott :)
Nice guy. Very easy - tells you test and final ? ahead of time. Almost everyone gets an A, but you wont learn anything. I thought it was great until I got to calculus and found out I needed to retake the class in order to pass. If you only want to get through, get a high grade and don'y want to do HW, take Him. Don't if you need to learn stuff.
Very nice funny guy. You don't have to do anything but review the review sheet before tests. Test is exactly like review very easy. I loved it until I took calculus and realized I learned nothing and had to spend another semester retaking this class so I could pass calc. If you want an easy A, take him. If you need to learn this stuff DO NOT.
He's a very caring professor, he just wants the best for his students and makes sure they get the best. This class is an easy A if you go to class and review before tests. He gives lots of extra credit. He will through some humor into the class.
Mr. Lott taught me nothing!!! I had to re teach myself after every class, it was sooo stressful. He blocked the whole board and was very monotone. He was a very friendly guy and had a sense of humor but wasn't the best teacher. Test and quizzes were fairly easy though.
Nice guy and kinda funny, but not a very good teacher. He did not really teach us anything. He talks monotone and often goes off on tangents. He moves real slow and almost fell asleep in class one time. The only reason I passed is because I studied with my friend from another section, reviewed her notes and did the worksheets that teacher gave.
He is a nice guy -- like a grandpa, but doesn't really teach you anything. He makes the course so easy and talks in monotone -- you will be board. I am retaking this course with another prof and cannot believe how much I missed. If you need calc, that this class with someone else.
Mr. Lott is a great guy! Very funny and caring, sort of like a grandfatherly figure. However, he usually talks in a monotone voice and is not the best at explaining topics. If you're not good at teaching yourself topics from the book, this class may not be for you.
nice guy but doesn't explain things well. His lectures are a little dry and students often fall asleep in class (he almost did once also!). Very easy tests so far. I don't think I learned anything though.
He doesn't go over everything that we should've learn but it pops up in our test (they're not toohard), he's very slow pace, and slow at responding to emails. It's good to come to class only because he'll add a few attendance points on one or two test. The class always end 30 min early. The last 2 or 3 weeks he literally crammed test and quizzes.
Class is mostly him lecturing but if you follow along hes a good teacher. He prepared you super well for test and quizzes and is very clear what will be on them. He also gives a ton of chances for extra credit so if put forth some effort its an easy A.
Great Guy, genuinely wants his students to succeed and gives many extra credit opportunities and is an easy grader. Not too sure how much he might prep you for calculus or other classes like many more reviews on here but I can tell you first hand if you struggle with math and this is the last math class you need to pass he is defintely the guy.
He was okay at teaching the material and there was not a lot of homework.
