Yes, he is funny but when you have had him before it gets ridicious. We did not always have a full class time or review right before the test. He sometimes had a review but classes before. I asked him for help 3 times and he did not help me. Always put me off on another student. My tuition was for his expertise not a student.

If you come to class and take notes, most likely it is a guaranteed passing. I hate anything that has to do with math. He makes it understandable and if you are having difficulties he would make sure not to move on with his lesson until everyone in his class understand. You also must have a sense of humor and don't take his jokes personal.

WARNING-First of all-he told us that the entire course was frivolous. You don't pay for an expensive class to be told this information. VERY fast-paced (despite what he thinks of himself). Very unprofessional & disorganized. Only counts tests grades toward final grade. Talks about his emotional dilemmas more than anything else. STAY AWAY!-WARNING

Professor Flax is hands-down the best math professor I have ever had. He really wants his students to understand the material and encourages participation. He is a fair grader and really cares about each student's tests and quizzes graded properly and fairly. I would recommend him to everyone who has the chance to take him. I took him for MGF 1107.

Mr. Flax is a really cool guy. He isn't like those white-collared, stuck up professors yet he's still VERY intelligent. Revolutionary. He has a really easy vibe to him that allows you to be comfortable enough to raise your hand and ask a couple serious questions. I really enjoyed his class. Take him. Respect the Flax.

Scott Flax is great! He makes his lectures interesting for the class by putting humor into them. There are 4 exams and lowest is dropped at the end of the term. Also, there are some quizzes that take home and some that due on the day of the exam, which you will turn. Easy class if want to pass by showing up and doing the work. Take this class!

Professor Flax makes his classroom enjoyable by joking around, but when it comes to teaching I don't recommend. Not only is he extremely confusing but he changes his mind often and his moods especially. Lectures are all over the place and none of the material is on the test. You're basically on your own. If you aren't good at math, do not take him!

He's funny, goofy, & LOVES to talk about surfing but he takes complicated info & simplifies it in a way that you can digest it. Missing class is ROUGH because the text & other info will not be broken down with the same ease as his explanation. 4 tests 90% of your grade (will drop highest & lowest if it helps you) & a simple group project is 10%

WOOOW is professor Flax amazing! Don't turn him down because of his class times... Suffer through an evening course for him because his teaching style is amazing! Out of all my math classes I have finally learned something new and didn't need a tutor! I absolutely will suggest him to anyone who struggles in math!!

This is hands down the best professor I've ever taken. I hate math and he made it easy to learn. He goes over everything even simple things just in case. Not much homework, tests are really easy, he is very open to questions and will stop the lecture if anyone got the wrong answer. Helps keep the class engaged with jokes, I will miss you Flax!!!!!!

Recommend 100%! You can tell Flax LOVES teaching. Prepare to laugh, smile & feel welcomed as you are. made math easy/fun to learn! His notes are often relatable(the examples given) and very clear for studying. By test day could naturally solve problems without overthinking and doubting. Math lab is a joke compared to in person!

Professor Flax is awesome! If you need a calculus, take him!! I was so terrified of calculus because of being rusty in the math realm, but he made class fun and explained everything clearly. Very open to questions, and makes class fun. If online, attend as much as you can for additional tips that aren't recorded online. Would take him again!

Overall this class was not difficult but if you're not a good test taker you will fail this class. The homework is only 20% of your grade and there is few homework assignments so it doesn't help your grade. Test's are made up and taken in class. Test is nothing like the homework assignments.

Prof Flax is a cool sufer vibe professor, if you attend class then you will pass, he explains things differently and in my opinion easier than my mathlab, if you do his work the way mymathlab wants and not how he teaches, you will struggle in the exams. Tells you which questions type will be on the test, only 4 exams and optional final. take him!

Professor Flax was by far the best math teacher I have ever taken. He gives amazing lectures in class and if someone in class does not understand he will stop the lecture and make sure everyone is on the same page for the lesson. Side note- he walked into class everyday and went "hello great students!" 10/10 would recommend.

I've struggled in math classes all of my life thanks to a mix of ADHD and dyscalculia. This was the first time that I understood every single lecture I sat in on. Prof. Flax will go out of his way to teach you not just the 'how' but the 'why' of statistics so that you fully understand the work you're doing. Patient, funny, charming, 10/10.

I took Scott Flax for the Calculus for Business class. He teaches very well, very clear, goes over things multiple times and is always asking if there are any questions, makes sure to clarify everything. The homework is on MyMathLab, but all the tests are in person and there will be nothing on the test that he did not actually teach in the class.

Really great professor! The one thing I don't like is he tends to get off track easily. When that happens, it takes a little bit for him to get back on track. While attendance is not mandatory, it is recommended. He may even boost your grade at the end of the semester if you attend every class. It is very clear that he wants you to succeed.

Professor Flax is awesome. Super great sense of humor, there is never a dull moment in class with him. Doesn't go super in-depth on topics, but makes sure you understand them. Medium workload.

If you struggle with math like me, please beware of taking it online! I survived by the skin of my teeth. I reached out to him a few times and he was extremely helpful. He drops the lowest test score out of 3, then averages the 2. It's worth 65% of your grade. It's survivable to take online but do so at your own risk! I wish I took it in person.
