I took him for Math 251 & 253. He is a good teacher. If you do all the homework then you will get a good grade. He uses scantrons for tests(makes it easier to get a good grade by checking your work) I really liked his class. He is a great help.

just awful. at the time i dropped there wasn't a single A in the entire class, and 3/4ths of the class had Ds or Fs. Tests are 'tricky' and he only collects three hw out of the # you do at the end of each section.

As long as you do the homework, you'll be fine. Tests are similar to the homework, plus if you get an 80% or better on the homework, he'll increase a previous test grade with 90% of the next test grade. I went from having an F on one test to having an 81. Overall, I thought he was really nice and helpful!

I hadn't done any type of algebra in 20 years so I was extremely nervous. I'm so thankful for Prof. A. because I learned alot from him. He explains rules & terms so you can understand them (bank account is an example) There's alot of HW assigned, but that helps u understand how to do the problems. Don't miss class! I'll take him again for math

The professor was not terrible. You can tell he enjoys teaching math, but only to people who actually understand it. His patience his very short when you cannot grasp a concept. More than half of the class was failing desperately failing and motivation was easily lost on both sides (class and professor). No calculator and lots of homework.

So i had to work my asymptote to pass this calculus course. I didnt take calculus in highschool so i pretty much had to learn on my own since no study guides are given. Beware of popquizzes, lectures are fastpaced but his tests are not hard. Make sure you watch youtube videos (organic chemistry tutor) lol before his class. My grades improved.

Loved him. When he teaches you just understand. He makes you work hard but I needed that. He asks lots of questions in class and expects you to answer so participate as much as you can.

Disappointing to say least. Class was cancelled often for our class and the lectures were very unorganized. Prof didnt seem too knowledgeable of the material which was worrisome. He was a nice guy who cared, but he couldnt articulate material to the students. I ended up dropping and others as well. I suggest taking a different Professor.

Loved this class. I was worried to come back to math after so many years. Prof A was very helpful, answered all the questions. He is very demanding so be prepared to participate. Honestly, if you do the hw and understand the lectures, you will have no problems passing this class.

Do not take his class if math is not your thing. He is not undertsanding and unaproachable. He is not trying to help the students pass. Hated his class and barely passed even though I have all A's in my other classes.

This was probably the worst class I have ever taken. This professor is SO inconsiderate and not very helpful. He would get angry at students for asking questions. Also he makes you do SO much homework but only collects about 4 assignments. If you like Sensitive realistic professors don't take this class.

In lecture I often felt he didnt even know what he was teaching. His exams had a class average of around 50. Im really good at math and struggled to even get a B. I would never recommend him. He is very rude to the students who ask questions or needed extra help (even in front of all the other students which is unprofessional). Run far from him.

This had been one of the toughest and worst math classes I have ever taken. Teacher rushes through lectures and takes few questions. He also grades very specifically, even on homework ! I have lost probably a few years of my life because of this class. Save yourself the pain.

horrible. I was in the class for two weeks, he has yet to respond to 4 of my emails, his syllabus says the class isn't mandatory so I watched videos recorded because they were more timely for me, but he gave me absences. His syllabus says due dates for homework but he collects early and he never teaches things that are in the homework. dropped fast

He does not explain things well and throughly. Students are constantly correcting him. He picks and chooses what he wants to grade, only two assignments at the very beginning of the semester and then the midterm which is 30% of your grade. He is a kind man, but you might as well teach yourself this course.

Can somehow go over 2 chapters , taking the whole class period yet really not teaching it. He isnt very open to questions and the lack of assignments that are actually graded means you either need a perfect score on everything or to do super well on the tests. This could be done, if he actually taught you the lessons to complete the test.
