great professor!! he is the best!!!
the best. simply the best no need to say more. No mas mi amor
great professor, if you care he will
Pretty easy to follow, class notes are simple, math xl assignments not as simple.
He was always very helpful! If you don't be rude to him he will be nice to you. He is kind of a stickler on attendance, so you have to be committed to going to class.
GREAT JOKES
AWESOME!!!!!!
He's pretty cool, witty, and his notes are better than the textbook's.
he is an amazing teacher i hope to have him again in my future education
Great Teacher !!!

Very easy-going class with a friendly environment.
Very helpful, keeps me focus on the task! Strong has a unique kind of humor; I love sarcasm and he's got plenty of of it!
He got jokes.
Wow, Mr. Strong is the most energetic professor I have here at GCU. He is awesome and is extremely helpful. Keep up the good year pal.
He is nice and helpful
Nice, funny
Great class.
He is awesome!! Get ready for some jokes!!
Has great jokes and has some math skills
Great!
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR!
Professor Strong is by far my favorite professor. MAT-134 is a pretty easy and self-explanatory course, but if anyone does ever have questions he will create a lecture and go over many of the same kind of question. He really makes sure that each student is getting a good grade. If you respect him, he'll respect you and make class an enjoyable time
He expects people to be present in order to get participation points. Every thing is seriously self-explanatory. EASIEST class people! Just take notes, use it to help you with your homework, then take a quiz, then the exam and BOOM easy A+!
Didn't like him as a professor, but the class was so easy that it doesn't matter too much. I didn't show up to class a lot, because I felt that since I already knew the material and got 100's on everything I didn't need to, however Strong grades harshly if you're not in class. He talks to the class like they're in 1st grade, which I didn't like.
If you want an "A" take Math with Mr. Strong! He makes extremely easy for you to pass. He does believe in a flipped learning style so if you don't like that way of learning he is not the professor for you. He has low fail rate so, it shows his way works. This was the first math class I got an "A" in since freshman year of high school!
This professor does not like to teach at all. I can tell he does not want to be in class, the passion for teaching isn't there as well. His routine is come into class, lecture for 20 min, then sit down for the remainder 1 hour and 20 min, and if you need help then you must ask for it yourself. His lectures are not any helpful either.
attempts to teach for 20 min, then he just stands there, if you need or want help you have to ask and even then if you dont have you question ready to go he wont stick around he just walks away back to his podium, he also hovers more than any other teacher ive seen. you get the homework done in class tho which is nice but you learn on your own most
Although some people may not like Professor Strong's teaching style, it will help you in the long run. By allowing students to get as far as they can on their own, then asking for help, you are able to retain complicated math concepts a lot easier. And GO TO CLASS. For math it is essential for success. Fantastic Teacher!!
Terrible teacher. For all those saying he has a high passing rate thats false in my class as of right now with 3 weeks left of the semester there are 15 of us that are above a B the 58 others have bellow a C-! He doesnt teach and he doesnt help very disrespectful to students and is a cocky teacher not good what so ever
Easy class especially if you did your work in high school. Basically just a review of most of high school math. Keeps track of attendance for every class.
He does not want to be here. SUPER disrespectful to students. Has no desire to help or go above the minimum effort
There is homework and a quiz every week, and at the beginning and end of every class period there is a quiz. He is also not very helpful when it comes to the homework or understanding students. I had high hopes because my previous math teacher was awesome, but overall I would not recommend him.
Great teacher, not too tough but you'll learn alot
At the beginning of the year he comes across like he's really chill, laid back, and doesn't care is you come to his course, but don't be fooled! He will randomly start giving quizzes twice every class period and you participation grade is whatever score you got on the quizzes. If you can't pass the quizzes you can't pass the course.
Skip class? You won't pass. Brief calculus is a hard class. This professor is not for students that want and easy A. If you want to pass, you gotta work hard for it. At the end of the semester, Strong has a surprise for students that have worked hard. He doesn't like laziness. He strongly recommends people to work in groups, it is a great strategy
He does not explain things very well and always makes you feel dumb if you ask a question. He likes to call students out. You practically have to teach yourself the math, he teaches very fast and does not go over things again. If you can get a different professor, I suggest you do.
He is a great professor if you are dedicated and are prepared to work hard. He cares about individual success and knows what he is talking about. He made math more clear for me and i enjoyed his class. He expects you to study outside of class so be prepared.
Super easy class, and Prof. Strong is super helpful and walks you through all homework and quizzes. Always helpful when questions are asked.
If you attend class, he will practically do the quiz and worksheets for you. Highly recommend always showing up to class.
Professor Strong is a great choice of a teacher for this class. Basically, all you have to do is show up to class every week and you should have an A. Almost all of the work is done in class and he guides us through all of the quiz.
Typical college professor. He will be strict with assignments that are late so everything should be done on time. He explains himself thoroughly so the work that is being taught is understood.
He is a good and helpful professor, his methods of teaching are really good. It was really easy to get a good grade but you just need to be in class.
He goes pretty fast through the excel spreadsheets so be prepared to pay close attention to all the formulas and equations. But overall, the class is reasonable if you do your work and stay on task.
There are both pros and cons about him. He is honest when he makes a mistake, and he respects you as long as you pay attention and display that you're willing to learn. However, he has a tendency to call people out in front of the class if they make a mistake on tests. Still, he cares about the class and a relatively easy professor.
Pretty easy class, Anything that could possibly be difficult he went over in class. Just go to class.
The professor comes off as someone who is relaxed but lays down the rules which he is very strict about. As long as you follow those rules you should be okay. Also listen to lectures they are very important when it comes towards the homework and future quizzes. He also explains most of the assignments when it comes to homework
helps you on all homework worksheet and quizzes given. gives you tools to prepare yourself for the mission project.
Professor Strong goes over every quiz and every homework assigned. It is pretty impossible to fail this class. Great class!
He is an exceptional teacher. I enjoyed his class and he actually preaches about things that matter. He will prepare you for the real world.
I don't know if the class is easy but he makes it really easy to get an A, he goes through every worksheet and quiz during class and tells you exactly how to do the homework as well which makes the course pretty easy and super nice. For a pre requisite course, it was super nice to not have to worry about homework and getting quizzes done early on.
I am pretty sure that he is the one that rated himself on the first ratings honestly, because it is astonishing that he has a 4.0 rating. I highly recommend that you chose another professor that is willing to go out of their way to teach you because he does not.
Prof is chill, he relies on yourself to be proactive with your learning. Lazy college students will NOT get by.
Strong wasn't that bad. He basically walked us through every homework assignment so it's pretty hard to get a bad grade. He is chill and willing to work with you if you ask questions.
Cool guy, but is not accessible outside of class. He does his job but our only assignments is the 40+ questions of math homework but he will not help you clearly so you need to rely on a tutor or friends. Very old-fashioned and reminds me of Ronald Reagan. Will not answer you questions via online you have to talk to him in person.
Possibly the worse professor I have every had. He is very rude especially if you don't understand something. He likes to call out students in front of the whole class. He also get upset when you ask him questions while he is teaching. I would not recommend this professor to anyone.
He goes over homework and projects in class. He helps out students, but only when they ask because he expects that we know everything. Overall, I think he was an amazing, easy-going professor and I would try to get him if I were you!
Good teacher willing to help. Make sure you are there for all the classes especially on project days. Trust me he makes doing the projects a breeze.
This class is easy as long as you do the homework and read the textbook.
Professor Strong provided specific lectures that helped me through homework and exams!
Professor Strong is very funny.
It was a pleasure to have this teacher
He's very realistic. I love it. If you do not know the basics of math, good luck.
Professor Strong is a very good professor and leads the class in a clear and informative manner. Definitely take his class!
Professor Strong is a great influencer, instructor, and overall person. I have never met a professor who is extremely laid back and is able to relate to their students. The assignments can be challenging at times, but that can be expected from any teacher.
He was pretty cool and was funny. Be prepared to study and this class is not an easy A.
He is pretty cool, clear about what he expects.
A great professor, funny dude, and a swell dude.
Show up to class, he lays out how he wants projects and homework done clearly. He wont repeat himself if you don't show up. If you sit in the middle of class or in the front row, he may pick on you and make jokes at your expense, it just means he likes you. Great proffesor.
Your grade is based on how much you're willing to study. I did not study and only got a C.
He was a good teacher and everything was very clear. He would help a lot in class, but not very available outside of class. Basically--go to class and you'll pass. He explains everything in extreme detail if you are in class.
Very easy class, clear basic algebra.
overall a good easy class, the professor is a nice guy and he makes the class really easy
There are times where he doesn't teach you much, but other than that he is great. He makes the projects so easy.
He was a great professor who had humor throughout the semester. I think his funny personality makes learning math and listening to lectures easier. Also the lectures were full of good information and quick.
Good Professor but goes over subjects to quickly
Prof Strong is that snarky kinda strict uncle in the family that you rarely see because he's off doing cool stuff. Anyways, super clear instructions during lecture, gets straight to the point, however, he never goes over anything twice so take good notes and try to keep up with the examples. Do the work and theres no reason you wont pass.
This guy is "strong", literally this guy is not only strong at helping but also strong at making this class a challenge for you to learn. Just be careful about sitting in the front row of class. He will be able to see and tease you in class for the weirdest things without even realizing what your background is. He is still an awesome dude though.
Great sense of humor, very knowledgeable and cool.
Professor Strong is the ideal instructor he set the standard of what he expected from you at the beginning of the semester he did not waste time with needless banter and actually taught the class how to solve the problems. He is a very likable person but is not a fan of interruptions and stupid questions.
he's a solid educator. I recommend him.
Professor Strong provides you with all materials necessary for this class and is very helpful in getting you where you need to be.
Professor Strong compassionate in teaching. Wants his students to understand to learn and not memorize. When you listen to learn and take Prof. recommendations you will have the clarity you need to pass. It has been a pleasure being his student for math 213 and 218. will take him again if he teaches my next class of statistics.
Waste of a class. Better off watching youtube tutorials.
