he explains clear but his tests are too hard!!!

He explains everything very carefully, so if you pay good attention and study well, you can really learn a great deal. Also has a smart, mathy sense of humor.

He's a tough grader, but allows student room but dropping the lowest test score. But, you only get to bomb ONE test! Haha. He's clear, and his teaching style is visual. He is a stickler on notation, but his notation requirements are fair. I liked him overall. Do your homework and ask questions!

Great teacher if you're up for some math! If you take notes in class, documentation shouldn't be a problem, because he always does examples that are very clear. Exams and worksheets were very fair. WARNING - You may experience occasional or chronic Math-Head-ness (which really isn't unpleasant) :)

He will show you exactly how he wants you to present your work and will spell out for you with painful detail what he expects you to document. May seem mean, but he's really a softy. Lectures well and clearly loves the subject.

Tests are challenging and homework is hard. Spent a lot of time in tutoring sessions. If you are planning on taking the calculus sequence this is good preparation. If you're looking for an easy A take someone else.

Probably best for people taking higher-level math or those who are actually very serious about math. I actually liked him better in 252. MTH 112 is a hard class and not many people find it very pleasant anyway (I didn't, but I loved MTH 252).

not a hard teacher but hes very picky with his answers. tests are from his lectures and example so pay attention and write down some notes. DEFINITY WRITE IN HIS FORMAT or else he'll dock points. which is a pain in the a**. dont even care if you attend class but i would never miss his class cuz its very important notes you're gonna be writing down

Great teacher

Probably the best math teacher I have had in a long time. He is very strict but when you are done with the class, you know some math!!!

He makes me laugh. Think the most important thing about math is to have a sense of humor about it. Class is hard, but he is my type of math teacher. Blue SQUARES! May feel like talks down too you at the begining but just trying to rasie level. Work load challenging but realistic to the class level BUT don't believe all you read, try for yourself

Mr. Perry clearly loves math, and has a great sense of humor. Sometimes his explanations are hard to understand, but he does enough examples to illustrate the concepts. Once you learn his expectations, the class becomes much easier.

He moves fast. His test and worksheets are often challenging. People often have to ask questions on assigned work. He can quickly show you how to do a problem. He began each class with questions on homework, we had already been assigned.

He is a good teacher. He starts every his class with homework but that is good for us. I like his teaching style.

he knows what he's talking about and is a pretty good communicator. plus he follows a set system, forget the book. whatever he goes over in class is what you have to know. tests look just like his worksheets

I thought that Perry was a fantastic teacher. He may come off as a bit condescending at first, but dont let that put you off. he really hammers the information into your head so you know what you're doing and why you are doing it. i would take him again in a heartbeat.

Scott is an excellent instructor. The book used in this math 112 course borders on worthless, but Scott's explanations of the problems and his examples are all crystal clear. While he may not be able to answer all questions in class due to time, he's always willing to take the time needed to explain things during his office hours.

He is a good teacher if your willing to learn. That means doing homework, taking a lot of notes and asking questions, you learn alot and he makes you understand why you learn somthing. Would I take his class again? It would all depend on my course load. His class takes a lot of studying but worth it in the end.

Scott is very helpful and clear. The text book is hopeless, but Scott's explanations and lectures more than make up for it. His midterms take problems from the turned in homework and his final takes problems from the midterms. On midterms, he tells you what sort of problems will be on it if you pay attention.

Scott's class is challenging, but his lectures are thorough and the notes are on his website,so you can focus on what's being said. The best way to review for his exams is to redo the worksheet problems as they are what to expect on the test. He can be a bit much,personality wise, but he might grow on you :)

He is the easiest math instructor at PCC! His midterm and final are almost same as worksheet that he gives during class.I got A really easily.If you want to get higher GPA, JUST TAKE HIS CLASS!

VERY EASY CLASS. If you do your homework well, you will get A on your exams. He always welcomes any questions regarding homework, lecture, textbook or any other problems!

I like his teaching style. He doesn't talk much about others but explains Math. so i could pay attention. And homework is not too much. I like Perry.

I thought he was unreasonable at first. Then I got into Calc. Now I see that Perry was preparing us for what lay ahead. Solid teacher. Don't take his class if you still need your high school teacher to hold your hand and tell you you're smart in math when you're not!

At first taking notes in his class was like drinking water from a fire hose, but it got better. He supplies lecture notes so you can focus more on the lecture. He is extremely helpful if you are willing to seek out help. Occasionally he'll ask the class to do math problems that he hasn't explained yet. He makes sure to utilize all class time.

Okay teacher. Lectures are quite comprehensable, Math tests are based off of worksheets and activites. Sometimes Worksheets have problems that he has NEVER taught you, though he is friendly he may not help you with it. Would take him again.

Mr. Perry was a good teacher. All you needed to do to get A's on his tests is study his lecture notes and study the assigned homeworks. I didn't even look inside the book for the last 2/3rds of the class. I didn't do the book homework, I studied the assigned homework, and lecture notes and got an A. He is an easy grader, but a little arrogant.

I thought that he taught very well, he understands that sometimes textbook content isn't always right and worked slow through everything with easy print of notes. Very strict on worksheets and tests. No late work. Very picky about "mathmatical documentation"

This guy used to be an aerospace engineer. Anyone who says he doesn't know what he's talking about is full of it. He is having a tremendous influence on the abilities of students to compete in the engineering field. If we can get As in his class, we have a much better chance of being world class engineers instead of second rate techs.

Good teacher in lecture. Explains things very well and does gauge when students aren't getting it. However he talks down to students outside of lecture. Strict but not unfair. Nice in lecture, a total jerk at all other times.

really good teacher. explains things well

He expects you to show up and be responsible for your learning. He does have high expectations of the way things are written; no differant than you would be expected to do on an essay. He is very precise on his lectures and is always willing to help when available. His grading is very fair and helps you grow; always showing you where to improve

Professor Perry will bring your skills to a higher level. He is very precise, detail oriented, and organized which is perfect for a Math Professor. His class is challenging but not to the point of impossible. If you are serious about Math and improving your skills, consider taking Math from him!

Professor Perry was an EXCELLENT instructor! His lectures are interesting, slightly amusing, and always crystal clear. He pre-publishes his lecture notes, which makes note-taking a breeze. He is very particular about process and deep understanding. If you want an easy A, don't take his class. If you want to REALLY UNDERSTAND math, TAKE IT!

Perry is a great teacher. He demands that you know your stuff but is fair in his grading. You will leave this class with a really good understanding of the material.

(1) He only grades 4 worksheets, 3 exams, and 1 final exam. 1 worksheet and 1 exam is "dropped" in your favor. (2) His note materials and grading feedback is EXCELLENT. (3) He is very strict about math documentation (how you present your solutions). Bottom line: only take this class if you do all your work. If you don't, it will be VERY HARD.

Perry does an excellent job teching the quick and practical ways to doing each and every type of equation and function.

Scott is a great teacher. He explains EXACTLY what is expected of you and beats it into you until it is habit. He gives out difficult worksheets that are worth about 10% of your grade. These worksheets make the tests seem easy.I had to go get help before a class and he is VERY eager to help students during office hours. GREAT TEACHER.

Mr. Perry was great! I would go to his office hours often and he was always helpful. He told me to keep coming back! His grading was tough; it was my first real math wakeup call. But he is very fair. His lectures were crystal clear to me; the material was challenging. I worked hard and got an A. Study hard and don't be scared; he is a nice guy.

Perry did an excellent job making concepts clear and he has a great energy about him while he teaches.

scott perry was great. i think a lot of people in my class just wanted to be told what do, and not have to actually THINK and solve the problem. if you ask him to solve it for you, he will say "can't help you", yes, but thats because he wants you to try and figure it out with your brain!

Before taking any class, I would read the instructor's ratings and take that with a grain of salt. By far, Scott Perry is the BEST instructor I've ever had, bar none! He's teaching methodology is all on power points and very simple to follow. His exams are based on his lectures. Take great notes and you'll do fantastic.

Mr. Perry is an excellent teacher, but the course was still fairly difficult. He does not use the textbook and you must print out all the study notes for class. He has a good sense of humor and is very helpful. He is fairly pick about math department formatting.I highly recommend this teacher for hard working students.

Perry is an amazing math instructor. I honestly don't see why he has such terrible reviews. I guess it's because not enough people really know how to adapt to such material. Crystal clear on everything, and willing to help you on any problem that you encounter. It's a shame that this is his last year teaching.

Perry was my favorite math prof at PCC. (Hence taking his classes two terms in a row.) Yes, you do need to attend class to pass, but that's because these are two of the most difficult lower level math classes, and he'll admit it. He believes in in-class group work, goes over any hw questions the class has, and encourages his students to do well.

I didn't do great in the class because I'm not very good at math, but Perry is a great teacher, with very clear expectations. I never did the homework, but if you do all the homework, and show up to class and take clear notes exactly how he writes them you will do great in the class.
