the class was a bit confusing. 2 exams. cant use calculators the exams. 2 homework packages. class particpation gets you points. cant really hear over his strong accent. just do the hw, particpated in class, do extra credit, study, memorize forumulas, be able to not rely on a calculator and you will do good on the exams.
1.He writes too small on the board. It's impossible to see what he writes if you sit at the back.2.Tests are easy if you practice hard.3.Doesn't care if you use the old edition of the textbook. 4.Final is not cumulative.5.Offers a lot of extra credit if you can solve the problems on the board.
lectures directly from book! everything he writes on the board is outlined in the book you might as well learn and take notes from the book yourself, thats what most people did and had to do, due to his class seating arrangement and his bad writing and not understanding his speech! not that great.
I just finished taking him for Trig. Many people complained about him, but I thought he did a great job. There were a few issues on clarity, but overall his teaching methods are great. As with any math/science class, you must do your part. He practically tells you everything that you need to know. His tests are very easy!
No Comments
he try to get a girl friend and he can get work permit, but i wounder he still teaching Illegal man wow
Incomprehensible and Useless
couldn't understand him! and he ALWAYS looks at the board and doesn't turn around until he's written from board to board then asks "does every understand?" i do not recommend him im sorry.
Stay away! doesn't have a clue on what teaching is about. you go to class look at overhead slides and learn own your own from the textbook.
He is a great instructor for serious student.
He is a very practically oriented teacher. I will strongly recomend him.
Math 40: He is a great instructor and I learned a lot from him. His principle is that if you work hard, work smart and study for every 1 hour lecture for 2 hours before you come to the next session/class you can get an A without any hesitation.
He's really a nice guy and pretty helpful. He give out lots of extra credits, and the test is really really easy too. All of the test questions come from the homework problems. Also, if you want to pass his class, just simply do all the homework and you will definitely pass the class!
this class is not for slackers. he is strict. you cant understand what he says and goes too fast, threatens test as punishment. too much homework. pick a different teacher for this class unless you already understand trig. no calulators or cheat sheets on exams. you have to teach yourself, he wont teach.
He is a good teacher. His test questions are mostly picked from the homework questions. He also gives a lot of extra credits for students who volunteer to do the problems on the board and do more homework problem than they need to. very easy to get an A. highly recommend!!
He is not that strict.... You can come late and he won't say anything. He teaches from the book but at least every step he explains, and if you have questions he tries his best to explain. Compared to many of the math teachers there I recommend him for anyone that needs to take math 120
He teaches out of the book so all you have to do is copy it, which made it hard for me to want to go to class. I mostly did the homework in his class. He is good at explaining this and isn't very strict. He kinda smells so don't sit too close. He procrastinates with the syllabus and tests.
He is very easy but it is impossible to understand what he is saying or writing. everything is strait out of the book though so just read the book and you will get an A. if you don?t understand something don?t bother asking a question because he usually doesn?t know the answer and will answer with something completely unrelated
HORRIBLE instructor. Ideal class for someone who has taken this class before. Forget it if your new to it. This class is a joke. He says one thing about the due date of something, then totally changes his mind when its close to due date. He does not teach, just copies from the book. Trust me-easy A for those who know it- you may fail if you don't.
He is with out a doubt the worst teacher I've ever had. He copies the book as his lesson. He won't answer questions. Offers extra credit to anyone who will answer students questions. I felt like we were a cramp in his schedule. Like we were the stepkids he didn't have time for. He is a lazy teacher and on a personal note he doesn't use deodorant.
Worst teacher I've ever had. Teaches directly from the book, refers to the book when asked questions, isn't clear about what he wants for homework, constantly late for class, and tests are overly technical.
after taking this guys class and reading these other reviews i think he is coming on here and writing all the good ones for himself. they all have the same accent as he does. this guy is so educated that he can no longer communicate with a human. do not take any class with him unless you have to, you have been warned.
Worst teacher ever, does not explain anything. When a person asks a question he answers by saying, "Learn from the knowledge". Nobody can understand what he says it's like he's talking in a different language. Test are nothing like the hw or examples he puts. He can't explain nothing. Nobody should take this teacher he's the worst teacher ever.
Worst teacher ever. No help at all, can't understand what he says the whole time he is talking. If someone asks a question his answer is "Learn from the knowledge". Test are not at all like the hw or the examples he puts on the board. He copies from the books all the time. Hated his lessons from day one to the last day i was there. Don't take him!
This professor is pretty easy. It can also be a con, but he only gives 2 tests. One midterm and one final. HW is Every other odd due a week after the lecture. Towards the end of class he got lazy and made it due at the midterm and final. I aced the midterm and totaly bombed the final and turned in 1/2 the hw.I ended up with a B!!! lol great teacher
He is the best teacher but you need to follow the syllabus to get the best grade.
He was the worst math teacher I've ever met. When he lecture, he just read the textbook(almost murmuring). Then, he wrote notes on the board exactly same from the textbook. In addition, his pronunciation is difficult to understand. He solves basic problems as demonstration and then leave difficult problems to students as homework.

a few weeks into the semester, i learned that the notes i took in class were of no value to me because his lecture was straight from the book. he spent so much time on the first 4 chapters only to shove the remaining 4(hard) chapters into the last 3 weeks. the only thing that helped was doing the homework and hitting the math lab.
doesnt understand what hes teaching. cant understand him anyway. writes verbatim from book. makes fun of the students if they dont understand. makes lots of mistakes then denies it. test has nothing to do with what he covered. goes so slow in the beginning that by the end he goes through 3 chapter per day just to catch up. HORRIBLE do NOT take him
He changed the syllabus on the day of the final, making the final worth half of our grade in the class.80% of my class failed every test he gave, including me. I got A's in math before this guy. Do NOT trust this man's syllabus. He is a bad teacher, writes more words on the board than actual math problems, and doesn't explain anything.
Ok this teacher here is practically useless you will not learn anything from him. Because throughout the whole spring session when he teaches, nobody understands the material. However, everything he teaches is straight from the book and because of his grading scale it is easy to get a decent grade without even really passing the exams.
gets problems wrong on the board, but too stubborn to admit it. reads directly from the textbook, you cant understand what he's saying anyway. doesn't answer your questions. shows up at least 20 min late every class. smells terrible. Do NOT take him, especially if you want to learn something.
This teacher is not the greatest in fact I would not recommend him to anybody because he expects you to read the book before class and will assume that you know the material that will be taught the next day. He will help you but his ways of showing how to do problems plus his heavy accent isn't really good. On the bright note.
(Continuation) On the bright side, he is lenient on the tests you will take. If you show that you made attempts on questions you don't know, you will still get points. You can do as much hw as you can for there are no limits. Do your hw and take notes for he checks them. I didn't do well on the tests but still passed because of hw and notes.
WASTE OF MY TIME!. He doesn't teach at all. he copy's the book and puts it up. you cant understand him and he doesn't do math problems, just copy's the examples from the book and expects you to figure it out later. 90% of my class failed!. seriously the worst math teacher Ive ever met.
He is a great instructor. His note is very clean and easy to understand. Sometimes,I don't have to go back to text book because he summarized lecture on the board. He is a smart person and his explaination is very clear. If you don't understand the problem, ask him and he is more than happy to help you after class. Take him if you want to learn mor
He is very helpful professor. He is not a hard instructor. Through out the semester, we have 2mid term and a final. For some students who didn't do well on the first mid term, he will drop it if those students did well on the second mid term. Just do the homework, you will be fine. He is very nice!!!!
The instructor always comes to class on time and well prepares. His test is not hard. Just review the lecture note and practice test in the text book. Recommend him!!!!
For this class, I did not do well on my first mid term. However, I did very well on my second mid term. The instructor dropped the first mid term if the students do well on the second mid term. He gave me the second chance. Thanks you.
I learned alot from this class by doing homework and pay attention in class. For the test, he mostly takes from his lecture note, so make sure you take note and understand the material. His material is very simple and easy to understand. He is very helpful and you can stop him if you don't understand. He does recognize your hard work!!!!
Sequare is a good instructor. I did really bad for my first midterm. However, I did very well for my second midterm exam. He dropped the first exam. Finally I got an A in the class. Recommend to take him!!!!
He is a very helpful math instructor. He loves teaching and he explains lecture very clear. After finishing the exam, he always checks to see if you miss any questions. In case you finish exam before time out and he saw that you miss questions or solve problem incorrectly, he will let you know and give let you redo it. Take him!!!!!
His teaching methods are horrible. All he does is go over Power Points that you can find on-line. He doesn't know how to answer your questions. He has you work in groups which is pointless since everyone is lost, he does not give clear direction, has poor time mgmt. and is unorganized. Really don't take him!
Although he may not be all that clear at times, Professor Sequare will go out of his way to provide you with detailed instruction (if you ask for it) He is a very caring person and does not tend to get upset when you ask him to repeat himself or clarify. Bottom line bring your A game and show him some mutual respect and you should do fine.
good teacher but he has a very strong accent..
The class I took was a workshop class in the Library bldg. We did not use any textbook and used a program called aleks, The class was great because it had about 4 professors and a lot of tutors. Everyone was helpful including Mr. Berthe
He can NEVER clarify when someone questions his power point. He just reads off the power point and never gives enough time to even copy the power point. He doesnt slow down even if asked. He's just an overall bad teacher. DONT TAKE HIS CLASS, NOT WORTH THE TIME.
He has a VERY strong accent that makes it hard to understand anything he says, he doesn't explain things well, messy writing, he basically spends the entire class writing what's in our math book straight on the word without explaining anything so as my advice to you, MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE BOOK AS IT WILL BE YOUR ONLY HOPE OF PASSING THE CLASS!
Horrible! I do NOT recommend this professor at all! His accent is heavy, he talks to the board and very quietly, he talks too fast, messy handwriting, 2.5 hour straight lecture, doesn't take time to explain the problemsexamples he gives us, learned too many sections a day (average 5 lessons per day), and he isn't the nicest of professors.
Worst professor ever. This professor makes me wonder if LBCC even cares about a student's success. The reason why I say that is because this "professor" has not even the slightest clue on how to teach. He speaks as if he's talking to himself. I can't be the only one who's lost in class. I'm thinking of seriously dropping the class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!! HE IS THE WORST!!!!!!!! HE TALKS TO THE WALL NOT TO HIS STUDENTS. HE GIVES OUT POP QUIZZES ABOUT THINGS HE HASN'T TAUGHT US. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM. BTW, HE FAILED ALMOST HALF THE CLASS.
This class was the absolute worst. He assigns A LOT of homework and doesn't even go over them. He doesn't go in depth with the lectures. He essentially just reads of the powerpoint. He refuses to answer questions. He was always late to class and didn't even show up for the midterm day. Three large exams, no review sessions. Do not take his class!
Daniel-Berhe is prepared with a clear written lecture. I thoroughly understood the math. He collects the homework and notes the day of the test. He gives extra credit points frequently. Attend class regularly and do the homework and this is an easy A.
This class was not my favorite, and I can't blame the professor. The subject is just boring and not always that easy to grasp. That being said, this professor gives extra credit and tries really hard to keep your attention. He does tend to baby the class, gives a lot of HW and exams are LONG. He does genuinely want you to pass. Grades on curve.
Berhe gives extra credit for anything you do. Show up to class and you will pass. He wants all his students to pass because he wouldn't want to see them again. Test questions are from his lectures and class work so just GO OVER THEM.
Professor Berhe is da' BESTTT !! As long as you participate & do the homework/extra credit you are guaranteed to pass !!
Honestly I only took this class because it was the only one available but if I would've known how horrible of a teacher he was I would have just waited till next semester. The last test we took some students just sat there scared not able to do it. I do my homework and study and i still couldn't pass the test. Everyone in class is failing. WORST!
I didn't agree a lot with this professor! He arrives late to class, his format for the reports is a a little ridiculous, wastes times, reviews the lab during the middle or end of the class... I would suggest to not take him if possible. You're likely to get an A though if you attend class and complete all labs. P.S. Likes to be called Square-Bear!
Does not make lessons interesting or fun
Doesn't make lessons clear
This teacher shows up 3 hours later.
He forgets a lot during lessons. He doesn't teach he tells us to copy whatever is on the board.
Just show up to class and participate. Tons of extra credit just pay attention and sit in the front. Get to know him! Also do the HW's
A lot of extra credit. Take advantage in the beginning! Make sure you do ALL the homework! ALL OF IT. He wants every question written out. Show up to class he loves calling you out. Hard to understand sometimes.
Take this professor only if you have a solid background in math, he will not go into details and will get upset when you ask for clarification. If you stick with the class you are guaranteed to pass.
I took his new engineering 3a (computer aid class). he was unorganized and he came late to class haft of the semester. their aren't really Lecture to the lesson that he give us. he just emails us the power point (lesson) and we have to teach is self like taking an online course. last ones he assigns the project to us. he adds stuff on over times
His limited communication ability doesnt allow for any kind of exchange of information between student and instructor. There was no clear grading criteria, his lectures were emailed powerpoints, and he arbitrarily added requirements to the work we needed to turn in, even 10 minutes before the end of the final exam this guy kept adding things to do
I might have gotten an A in this class, but in all honesty I have no clue how. Although he does give out tons of extra credit opportunities, he is very condescending when you ask him to repeat things or slow the powerpoint down. He refuses to put in grades throughout the entire semester. He's not the worst but I wish I took it from someone else.
Definitely, recommend professor Berhe. I have taken 3 classes with him and have A all of them. Lots of homework and exams. Make sure to study and lots of opportunity for extra credit. An amazing guy who is willing to help any student who wants to better themselves in Math. I am looking forward to taking my last two classes with him.
Take advantage of all the extra credit if you wish to pass this class.
I had him as a replacement for another professor. He is rude and demeaning. After 3 lectures I switched to another professor. He uses extensive PowerPoints that confused me. Good luck if you're bold enough to take him!
He always says "you are not my student!" if you don't know the answer to something. He goes very fast and cuts people off everytime they try to ask a question. He gives alot of extra credit.
Finished this class for Fall 2019. Professor is extremely understanding. Talk to him and he will listen. I had 2 major surgeries and missed a total of 5 classes and he was great with working with me. He covered the material I missed, let me makeup the exam (total of 3 exams only). Gives so much extra credit, it's impossible not to pass this course.
I can deal with tough professors but he is so different. He is unprofessional, rude, and unhelpful. Luckily, I had taken a stats class before but if you haven't DO NOT TAKE HIM. There is a lot of homework but gives lots of extra credit. Everyone failed the second test and he doesn't care.
Taken in a Winter session as my first class in 5 years. Personally I LOVED Professor Daniel-Berhe. He's brilliant and ethical, but makes you WORK. Definitely could be abrasive to some shy and new students - he REQUIRES participation, and he moves fast. He also expects you to learn outside of class. Extra credit for group study, dropped worst grade.
I was hesitant at first with joining this class but I'm so thankful and blessed for taking this class with this professor. PLEASE TAKE STATS WITH HIM .It's simple, go to class, participate, do the homework, do the group zoom meetings, and study the quizzes for the final exam. He gives A LOT of extra credit. Most important he cares about his student
This class is basically him telling you what's already in your textbook. He always calls on people, and if you don't respond/don't have the answer you will have points deducted. he does give lots of extra credit though.
Took him for Summer 2021 (online)as my first college course ever. He was great! Show up to class to participate in extra credit questions and visual understanding but other than that just READ your textbook & do the homework. Test after very chapter - based on book. He makes sure no student leaves the class without understanding the criteria. 10/10
he is probably the worst teacher i have ever had. he is extremely rude and disrespectful and talks to his students like we are literal kindergarteners. he doesn't teach and basically just reads through his slides. whenever someone asks a question he literally just disregards it. he has so much homework that is not humanly possible. never take him.
Just reads off slides, doesn't actually teach. Says things like "are you even my student?" when answering a question incorrectly. You can tell that he is very intelligent and knows what he is doing, he just has absolutely no idea how to teach what he knows to others.
Like every other rating just reads off of slides, doesn't help when asked just reads side over again, if you ask a question, he will make you feel worse about not understanding what he just went over. Does not release the slides before class only after class is over. Do not take if you are a person that likes things explained.
I just dropped his class half way through the semester because I was so lost in the sauce. Every post is correct when they say he reads off the slides only. He can be very rude at times and it is difficult to keep track of what exactly he's asking of you to do for homework.
Prepare to teach yourself the entire class, you'll barely be able to understand what this professor says. Instructions are unclear most of the time, you'll have 2 mid terms, he isn't that good at his job if im being honest. If you struggle with math run for the hills. You've been warned, if you take him that's on you.
When teaching, he doesn't consider that you may not have understood what is in the lesson. Homework/Classwork assignments are confusedly worded or vague, making it hard to understand what needs to be completed. I've tried interacting with him and asking questions but he restates what he previously said. The final's last question was worth 20% !?!?
I am bad at math. I honestly should've failed this class...But thanks to Prof. Square, I passed Stat with a B+!!! I literally had an F in the class, but he let me do extra credit and got my grade up to pass. His lectures are easy but long. Prof.Sequare is awesome, kind and actually wants his students to learn, although he is misunderstood. (1/2)
(2/2)lots of extra credit opportunities in class, at math center or from hw. He wants you to succeed, one time in class some students didn't print out the formula sheets for the final exam and he pulled out his wallet and gave them cash to go print it out. if you have to miss class he also has his lectures on zoom so you don't fall behind.
Lectures heavily & lectures at a fast pace, lots of homework. Does offer lots of extra credit. Also feel like he overcomplicates his lectures when the material can be explained in a simpler way.
I have taken other math courses, and I took this one during the summer session, and I can say I'm so glad I did. He is incredibly understanding of your circumstances and will work with you, but I saw so many students taking advantage of his kindness. He allows you to have a full page of formulas for exams and he wants you to succeed!
Reads directly from the textbook. Doesn't teach anything. Does not listen/answer questions. Assigns homework that he does not grade or give feedback on for 2+ mo. Condescending attitude & teaching style. Unreachable outside of class. Horrible zoom classes, shows textbook entire time. Late 10+ mins to every class. Worst professor I have ever had.
This professor is by far the worst to teach stats. You will learn NOTHING in his class He does not grade homework only test and he will give no help with study guides or anything,you will have to figure it out by your self because he won't teach you at all. He's just there to get paid and does not check his emails or anything he needs investigation
The professor has a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, you'll learn a lot. Attend lectures, do the work, and use tools like unstuck AI to supplement your study - it really helped me prepare for the challenging exams.
The professor was fair in grading and in teaching. He took his time and it really felt like he genuinely wanted us to learn. Yes, he can be strict on certain things, and it can be a challenge, but he will take the time to make sure you learn.
This was single-handedly one of the worst professors I have ever had. He is not clear with his directions and then gets upset when you don't understand him. He does not teach you anything and then expects you to know what to do. I HEAVILY suggest you find a different professor for this course if you want to understand anything.
By far worst teacher ever. DO NOT TAKE HIM. This was my second time taking the class so I had previous experience& memory w Bus CALC so when he'd pick me2answer the question I'd solve it w a simple method from a later ch in the book and it'd be the same answer he has and he'd claim it's WRONG still !!!! Condescending attitude only his way is right
If you are planning to take a calculus course, choose a different professor, because this professor is easily the worst professor I've ever had. He only reads through the textbook and expects us to know everything about the material, very rude to his students, and grades everything but exams last minute. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR YOU'LL REGRET IT!
If you struggle with math, I'd recommend taking another professor or make this class your life. If you put in the work, I guarantee you'll pass the class. If you don't understand something the professor will go over it with you and make sure you understand it. He's a good professor.
I learned a lot of great material from taking Professor Berhe's Math 47 course. He is very knowledgeable on the subject, the topics that interested me the most were the ones regarding profit, investments and other vital business matters.
