I hate math with a passion, but with Mr. Adams's teaching, I started to love it, and I passed with a friggin A! Now I had to work hard, but he is so helpful, and so fun, and he tries so hard to make sure you pass to excel with your career. And he always lets you out early! If he teaches any other math I am taking, I will definitely take his class!

As a person, I like Mr. Adams; however, as a teacher not so much. Statistics is already hard enough as it is. To add insult to injury, his instructions are too vague and he likes getting "cute" with the problems on his tests. Study Advanced Statistics if you plan on taking him, otherwise choose another teacher for this subject.

Mr. Adams is a great guy who loves what he does. I had him for Calculus 2 and I will be taking him for Calculus 3, Linear Algebra, and maybe even Differential equations; he records all his lectures and his tests follow the style of his study guides. He also gives lots of partial credit.

Great professor! I had him for Stats and Calc 2 at the same time, but that wasn't too bad. His tests barely follow his study guides, unlike Calc 2, but if you understand the material, you will be fine. All tests, for all of his classes, are out of 105 where a 100 is a perfect score with 5 points of extra credit. Great professor.

Great guy but this class was unbelievably difficult. Homework on ConnectMath took HOURS. Fair grader but the score out of 105 points is not 5 points extra, it's like 89 divided by 105 so 89 on the test equals an 85. He gives partial credit if you got a problem wrong but your steps were good. Assumes u get it in videos, needs to dumb it down some...

As a person, Mr. Adams is great. However, he is extremely vague in his instructions and usually only works one example per topic and expects you to know everything. His reviews never helped and he often had the hardest questions possible (ones he never went over) on the test. If I didn't get a tutor I would have failed the class miserably.

He is a fine professor. I took him for Calc 2 and 3, and I might take him for DE. His Calc 3 class was much harder than Calc 2. I barely got an A. His tests were very hard, but it was nothing he didn't show us. Used the textbook instead of watching his 2-hour lectures.
