If you can get over his Russian accent, this guy is a good teacher. Pretty clear in his message and with an odd brand of humor, Neumann made my Statistics experience an interesting one. As a side note, he gives you plenty of chances to bring your grade up, since he hands out a few quizes in addition to his tests.

I went in dreading it, but actually had a good time and came out of the class with an A. It does take work, so take notes, study, and ask questions.

I had Professor Neumann for three classes. (MAC 1311H, MAC 2312H, MAS 2103) He was an amazing and memorable professor. His classes go more into the theory behind mathematics instead of just dry memorization. He expects a lot from his students but is very fair in his grading. All in all, he was my favorite professor at Eastern Florida.

What a great professor! For someone who is awful at math he really made it easy and enjoyable! I got an A!! would definitely recommend him for intermediate algebra!

His class is based around 4 tests and a final. Show up, listen, and ask questions and you'll pass. He offers extra credit if you want to buy the online book and math practice code. He has an accent, but he is probably one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He also grades super fast.

He's very smart but he's not a good teacher. I learned basically nothing in his class and relied on the Cocoa Math and Learning Center tutors. He never answers your questions very well. He uses the whiteboard and his writing is not orderly at all. Gives VERY HARD tests but is a very generous grader. Gives multiple formula sheets.

Took him online for MGF1107 He allows you to use the book on exams. Spend most of your time doing A LOT of homework and have 5 or so 100 pt discussions. I got an A on all of the HW + all 100's on the discussions and didnt pass because he makes the quizzes and final worth most of your grade that any extra work barely makes a dent to save your grade.

Lots of homework
Participation matters

Don't take his class if you aren't willing to teach yourself calculus. I would only take him if I had a very strong foundation to work from.

Don't take College Algebra online! I nearly failed this class, but thankfully the grade on some of the assignments curved my high d to an a.

You do have to work for your grade but it's far from impossible. be a responsible student and maybe use The Organic Chemistry Tutor on youtube to help study. only grades are 4 test + final and extra credit assignment. Do the extra credit because the tests do get progressively harder. Nice guy, average teacher. He's funny too

I honestly really loved this teacher. You could tell he had a passion for the subject (Trigonometry in my case) and he knew what he was teaching well. The only grades in my class were three tests (two regular and a final) and then a bit of extra credit, so I really had to make sure I studied to get a good grade. He did partial credit though.

I would never recommend anyone take college algebra online, but if you've made the mistake I so foolishly did, just work hard and be smart and it will work out. This prof. weights solely on tests, so be sure to study hard and really understand the concepts. He was, however, willing to help me out. I got a C, should have had a D, but prof. was tight

Because it was an honors class we had to do proofs and those were HARD! There were two group tests and two alone tests. DON'T SKIP CLASS! If you skip class you'll come to the next one with absolutely no idea what's going on. Neumann graded lightly and you got points for at least attempting a problem. So, ALWAYS TRY!
