Skurnick is probably the best math teacher I've ever had. His jokes are corny, but better than no jokes at all. Tests are pretty straightforward - they're just the problems on the review sheet with different numbers. But he DOES put in little "tricks," so you have to study and understand the concepts.

Such a great professor , I recommend him to everyone to take. He breaks down problems and is super helpful. I honestly didn't think I would pass my final exam to get out of remedial , he did such an awesome job with teaching us the material that we needed to know . Do not take advantage because if you skip you will not pass.

I totally recommended professor Snurnick 100%. He let you work in group and doesn't put due date on the homework. When you send him an email asking question, he response right away. My class was for two hours, but it felt like 30 minutes. He is the funniest guy ever. I wish he was my professor for my next math class. Best of luck professor

There are no words that could describe how amazing Prof. Skurnick is. His excellent teaching skills and wonderful lectures make calculus extremely easy. Also, he is very patient, and he is willing to answer questions no matter how many you have. I highly recommend him. It has been a huge honor to take course with him!!!!

Awesome professor! Math is not an easy subject for me but he teaches everything by breaking down steps in a clear way! He was funny and kept me awake despite attending his class in the evening after work. Highly recommend!

Explains really well. Follow his lecture classes, do the homework up to date to do good in the exam. The exam is similar to what he teaches in class, homework & the revision sheet he provides. He is a very nice and hardworking professor. Even in an online class for the pandemic, he made it similar to the class atmosphere.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! Prof Skurnick is one of the BEST professors at NCC, in my opinion. He makes learning fun and easy, which is hard to do with math lol. Although, we were not graded on much. Basically just attendance, tests, and participation. (But I got an A for the semester and I never raised my hand/answered questions, I did well on tests)

Honestly, one of the best profs at Nassau CC. His lectures were very clear and easy to follow. He responds to any questions immediately and makes sure you understand it. Every lecture is recorded so you can go back and review. Great prof with a slightly wacky sense of humor. I really enjoyed this class.

Professor Skurnick was such a joy. Math is not my strongest subject and learning virtually didn't make it any easier but Professor Skurnick made it as painless as he could. Attend class, pay attention and DO THE HOMEWORK and you won't have any problems. Definitely would recommend and would take his class again!!

Professor Skurnick makes learning fun again. He is one of the rare ones who actually truly cares, and will spend the extra time to help you during his office hours and via emails. Your final grade will be based on your best 3 scores out of 4 exams (he will drop the lowest). He also sends cloud recording of the lectures, which helps a lot!!

Professor Skurnick is so amazing. One of the best math professor's at Nassau Community College. His lectures are very easy to understand. He is very patient and kind to his students. All of lectures are recorded via zoom, it is very helpful when reviewing the material and reviewing for an exam. Do the homework and review sheets and you will do well

Not an easy A class but one of the greatest Professors I have ever had the pleasure of taking. Made calculus very easy to understand. He is very concise and clear on all concepts, even the very difficult ones. I would take him for the next level calc in a heartbeat. As long as you put forth the effort he will bend over backwards to help you.

The Professor is truly hilarious which goes a long way in a math class. He provides everything you need to pass the class, a lot of good materials to use. he does proctor the tests so be prepared for that I am an awful math student and I was able to pass the class so if you're worried about getting that requirement out of the way, take this class!

Professor Skurnick has a quirky teaching style, but if you engage with it, the class works well. The lectures and textbook cover the material, and using tools like Unstuckstudy can really help with study prep. Overall, a solid math class.
