He's good teacher

No Comments

Really into math.

He's so passionate about math! He made math interesting for the 1 hr of class everyday. Definitely an inpiration. Keep it my Mr. Black!

He is the best math professor at GRCC! When I become a professor, I hope to be like him!

He is not just a good educator but an inspiration

One of the best math teachers I've ever encountered. His tests need a little modification cuz most everyone runs out of time. Very good at teaching the material in an understandable way. If you've taken calculus and had a hard time understanding it, you can appreciate his classes.

Badass teacher!!! Anyone that doesn't understand math the way he presents it.. probably wont understand it ever, he's the best

GREEEAT!!

Very awesome teacher. Sure does love math.

he is the best math teacher I ever had

The BEST math teacher I have ever had! The class wasn't easy (be sure to study for tests), but his enthusiasm and meticulous lectures made things go smoothly.

Awesome! I have never seen someone so enthusiastic about their job. He isn't one of those crappy teachers that simply teaches out of the book. He makes up his lectures mostly from scratch. You get to learn what he thinks is important, rather than what the crappy book thinks. Best Teacher I've ever taken.

Best math teacher that I've ever had, very well organized. Copy everything that he writes on the board. If you pay attention, you'll do well.

Mr. Black carries a contagious enthusiasm for Calculus and its founding fathers. His style makes it easy to learn, but his stringent adherence to no late work and tests that are challengingly long for the time allotted make him a challenging but worthwhile teacher. I gained and retained excellent knowledge.

A very nice teacher!!!

I love this teacher, very difficult but also very clear in his teachings, if you work hard you'll do well. He words things so well, if i get anything out of this class its "The derivative of the outside... EVALUATED at the inside... times the derivative of the inside." i swear he said that like 2 times every day.

he is the best math teacher I have ever had...

Very hard, but well worth it. He explains why we do things and how it works. He is always willing to help, and wants to make sure that everyone in the class understands the material. Just make sure you're not late to class-he takes points off.

Excellent presentation skills. You have to try pretty hard to not understand what hes talking about.

His way of talking is just too fancy for me. And that does not help when you're studying Linear Algebra. But he is always prepared when giving his lecture and it's never boring. He is great. Take his class, for better or for worse.

Mr. Black is such a nice person but he grades very very hard.. He explains things so well if you pay attention, but then again, he grades hard.. 1 point will mean so much to you if you took his class! (--!)

He's very clear in explaining everything but he's such a hard grader. If you need the lesson, take him definitely. But if you need the grade, don't even think about taking him.

Very Good at explaination, but a very tough grader. Loves the subject and will get you though it if you attend class. Kind of rough when you meet with him to ask questions. Also has the trait of answering a question with another question.

His teaching styles are easy to understand. You really understand the materials he presents. Very passionate about his mathematics. However, grading is really tough. If you want a good grade, stay away. If you want to learn, take him.

Amazing teacher when it comes to clarity.He has a really stupid grading system though. Also, make sure you completely understand the stuff from math 102 before taking him for 104 because he isn't going to explain anything from the previous class to you.DO NOT BE LATE.If you're late he drops an entire .1 from your final grade, like from 3.7 to 3.6

He's so good at explaining materials. But he's a very bad grading system. 100% is his 4.0 ! And one more thing, DON'T BE LATE or he will deduct 1 point foe every time you late.. Overall, he's a good teacher.

Extremely easy to understand. Funny character: surfer/jack sparrow. Super passionate about math, but crappy grading system and policies. Doesn't give out enough homework to master material, so when the tests come you feel unprepared. SUPER HOT!!! NICE ASS!!!

To this day, Professor Black is my favorite teacher ever. I took his calculus cycle in 2001 and his passion for math and teaching was unrivaled. His explanations were lucid and well thought-out. His grading was tough, but never unfair. His comprehensive test reviews told you exactly how to solve the problems. Steven Black, you are the greatest.

Amazing clarity adn understanding of calculus.

He is truly the best. His tests are not hard at all as long as you do the homework (You can earn bonus in the test easily since they're from the hmk). Dont go to class late. If late, dont go to class. Highly recommend him. Love him so much. A plus: He has a very cool tattoo ^0^

Excellent teacher. Engaging and very passionate about Math. His lectures are fast paced but clear. He is the best professor I've had to date. He is tough though. If you're looking for an easy class, this isn't it. If you are looking to learn Calculus, this is the man to learn it from.

Mr. Black is a very decent guy who has an obvious love for his work. Be aware, however, that he is a very, very hard grader. You will learn a lot, but be shown no quarter for your mistakes. Even "small" mistakes will cost you big, so be ready to work hard and go all the way for that "A". Otherwise, great teacher, fun guy.

Steven Black is a good instructor. Super duper nice and willing to help. He will never "give" you the answer, but he'll definitely help you and explain it so well that you must be a lame-o not to understand it afterwards.

Black is an incredible teacher

great teacher i have been out of school for six years and came back and now completly understand functions hard grader though

Nice guy, relatively difficult class. I'm not a math person, but I managed to do okay. I got a lot of help outside of class though. If you do well in math, this is the guy for you, if not, well, be prepared to put your time in.

Mr. Black is a terrific professor. He's probably the best, most interesting lecturer I've ever had. He explains everything extremely well so you understand things perfectly. I'd heard he was a hard grader, but I never thought anything was unfairly graded. If you're good at math, you'll be hard pressed to find a better professor anywhere.

He's the best Math teacher I have ever had. His syllabus and the way he teach is absolutely great, nothing to complain. He help the student a lot both outside and inside the class. Also, he's really hot with his wonderful tattoo.

His class is extremely hard! I cannot emphasize this enough. Study a lot and check over your homework constantly. Each and every point can be devastating to your grade. I'm not sure is the fact he is a great instructor outweighs the difficulty level? For me, no.

Lectures are very systematic, organized, and consistent. Homework packs have same weight as an exam score. Exams are very difficult concerning you have extremely little time. Unless you're a math prodigy, it's unlikely you'll get above a 3.0 in his class. If you lose two points on anything, your grade goes down by a tenth. You have been warned!

Class follows a very logical order, very easy to understand. Not much work involved, and tests are pretty simple. Just show up on time and you're all set.

Best math teacher I have ever had! He isn't easy, but he explains everything so well that it seems to be easy because he explains it so well. I wish he was teaching calc 152 next quarter! If you are struggling with math you should take him because he will tell you why you do the calculations that you do! GREAT teacher!

Good teacher. His lectures and explainations are great and clear. And YES, you need a good basic in order to take his class since you have to do hw all by yourself. He'll answer ur questions regarding hw but don't expect him to give you the result. p/s: Tutor center is not really helpfull, tutors're all students.

The best math teacher I've ever had since my junior high days. His lectures are full of clarity and shouldn't be missed. Homework is half your grade (but the lowest score is thrown out), and there are three non-cumulative tests (no final). I wish I could take him for the rest of the Calculus series.

If you want to be well-prepared for the severe and difficulty of calculus, just take him. His explanation is extremely clear and intellectual. Homework is counted for almost half of the total grade, so it's a good opportunity for you to practice and revise the material you studied in class.

Mr. Black is really passionate about Math. His concepts are easy to understand and his explanation are clear. Little textbook work for this class and that's good because the textbook is awful. If you need to understand Math, this is the instructor for you.

One of the hardest math teachers i have even had, however, he was also the most effective. Unless you already a smart kid, don't expect more then a 3.0. If you want a 4.0 don't take him, but if you want to KNOW calculus then you should because he is an excellent teacher.

I've had Mr. Black before, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. He's a hard grader, but no one explains math concepts better than he does, so when I saw he was offering this class, I jumped at the opportunity to once again learn from him. He took what is a very conceptual class and made it much easier to comprehend.

Best math teacher EVER. He's crystal clear about all the concepts, goes through many examples, and offers homework help the day before it's due. Getting a 4.0 in his class is hard, but as long as you pay attention to his lectures, do the homework, and practice the concepts you will be fine.

Super Clear and helpful, but can be a bit heartless on grading. Excellent Proffesor.

The hardest math teacher, but the most helpful teacher I've ever had. He is an excellent teacher about teaching concepts and examing examples. However, his class is a big challenge.His tests and hw are not easy.You need to study extremely hard if you want to get a good grade. Cool teacher!

My favorite math teacher ever! He is not too easy, but he is very smart, funny and helpful. He really helps you understand the material.

Fantastic Calculus teacher! He's lectures are well structured and thorough. Gives plenty of example problems. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss even one lecture you could find yourself very lost. Tests are challenging, but take good notes, practice, practice, PRACTICE math and you'll do just fine!

His lectures are really well written and given, well-organized and well-timed. He writes his own homework which is helpful because everything he puts on the homework will show up on the test in one form or another.He's very passionate about math and it shows in his lectures.Don't be late and do homeowrk.go to office hours as needed! Very personable

Steven Black is my math hero. He lit a burning passion in me, I will take and retake math because I love it now- because he made it real to me.

Great lecturer, very helpful, passionate, engaging, & fun! I rarely needed book b/c he writes his own HW sheets & my notes from lecture were awesome. Reasonable amount of HW; drops lowest score. Grade is just HW & tests (3 of them). Test reasonable in length & difficultly. Each test had 1 bonus problem. Awesome teacher, would HIGHLY recommend!

Very passionate about math and his teaching. and it shows. Hands down the greatest teacher I've had yet at GRCC. I highly advise his classes. They are no easy A, but they aren't difficult at all. If you want to continue with math and have a good understanding of what you learned last quarter, take steven black.

Best math teacher I have ever had. His lecture is crystal clear, very precise, and he is super passionate about math. Every lecture with him is a show. You can't help but to pay attention. But, tests are very hard, there are very few point available in class so it is very easy to do bad. Do every homework and make sure it is right.

Really good teacher. I had a lot of fun in his class, and got 4.0. If you review well you can absolutely get high score in his exam. I like this teacher very much, he made me feel math is an interesting thing. I learned a lot and he is always very happy to help students. If you wanna learn and get good GPA take his class.

After GRCC I attended University of Washington and USC and Mr. Black was the best lecturer I had in all my educational experience. Keep going Mr. Black, you are exceptional. All the best math teachers were at GRCC.

Mr. Black is hands down the best professor I've had the pleasure of meeting. He is a motivator that is very passionate about Math. He absolutely loves it and it shows. I wish he could go on to teach math 151, it will be sad to leave his class. I strongly recommend, although, beware, that the workload is kind of a lot, but I don't mind at all.

Great teacher, best one I've had. His lectures are entertaining and very organized. As long as you follow the lectures and do the homework then its a great class experience. His exams are like the problems he gives you on the homework so its very important to do them.

Having Steven Black as a professor was truly a pleasure. He is AMAZING and very passionate about his work. Lectures are very easy to understand and he is always willing to help if you don't. Specifically points out whats gonna be on tests and tests are straight to the point. I've never gotten such a good grade in math. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS CLASS.

Steven is the best!!! Love his class time! Every class like an other show. The best teacher ever and very interesting! You don't feel difficulty level because it is so interesting and awesome explanation! Thank you Steven!!!

ONCE YOU GO STEVEN BLACK, YOU NEVER GO BACK! Set the bar high for future professors, have yet to find one who is even in the same realm as him

I'm not really a math guy, but Black made everything clear. He loves math and it shows. Classes were actually fun! I would definitely take him again.

His class lectures have no colleration with the exams whatsoever. It's even hard to pass his class. Very tough professor. Don't take him if you want to keep your GPA high

He loves the material and it shows. Energetic and keeps the class paying attention. Homework is difficult but not too brutal. Tests can be difficult to finish in the time limit, but if you're consistent with the homework you should still manage a good grade. Definitely plan on taking him again.

Mr. Black is a nice person. If you show up at his office hours to go over what you don't understand it helps out a lot. It is possible to get good grade. You must be dedicated and willing to spend hours upon hours on the HW. After all this is college not high school. You must work hard, practice and study until the info sticks!!

Even if you do well on the homework you can still do very poorly on the exams. Nothing is weighted so points are straight up points, this makes your GPA drop like a bomb if you're not a good test taker. Homework takes hours. Good teacher, clear lectures, write it all. Don't take his class unless you're willing to dedicate yourself to the material.

I was in his math 141 class, I did all the homework, getting full mark or 1920 something but I still got low GPA. His lectures was good, providing great note, but he wont let u know your overall percentage when U are taking the class.I wont take his class anymore.

he is a tough grader, and his homework are tough as well. i spend a lot of time on it every week. attendance is not mandatory, but DO NOT LATE to class, he will write your name down and take credits from it. take notes during the class, you will need for the test. good luck.

He is tough garder, be aware of him. Study hard or you will fail.

he's a great teacher, very energetic, but his homeworks are tough as hell, really different from the usual HW you'll get, his HWs are weird should i say. and grading criteria is kinda unclear.

People say he's a great teacher, but they all come to Math Learning Center confused. Sometimes you have a feeling that you have learned a lot but in fact there are many problems that you did not understand. People taking him should be aware of that. His HW is different but not that hard, if you understand the material it shouldn't be that difficult

Steven Black is one of the best teacher. His lectures are clear and well organized. You should write down everything and note what he adds in. If you have a good note from him, your study will be so much easier. He helps you alot during his office hours or whenever you can find him. Test's hard, but it won't be a problem when you've done all the hw

Steven is really a fantastic professor! Always passionate in the lecture. Homework is in offered a special way, but not so hard if you do work on it, the lowest score will be dropped. Tests are easy and there are some extra credits offered. Strongly recommend his class.

Clear lecture. Funny and interesting way of presentation. not the easiest class but if u actually pay attention to his lecture it will be easy. i recommend u to take his class.

Teaches by the motto "to coddle you is to throw you to the wolves". He doesn't give anything easy but he prepares you perfectly for the math you'll have to do with perfect notes and lectures. He is easily the best math teacher I've had so far.

He is an awesome one. Every lecture is well prepared and organized, he makes sure you understand thoroughly the material. Homework and test are kind of tricky sometimes but not extremely hard. Make sure you follow instruction he stated on the test or you will lose point.

BE ON TIME! Points taken off for being even a few seconds late. Great teacher-funny and explains things well. Hard tests-STUDY. Not much homework but can take a while.

Steven Black is great if you're on top of things but you have to 100% invested in order to get a good grade. My only complaints are the tests were hard to get done in the given amount of time and his grading involves very few points. For example his tests are out of 50 points and his homework sets are out of 20 points. Do the extra credit!

Hard class, you have to try your best for it. He's really funny and cares a lot about if you come in late or not lol.

Steven Black is the very best lecturer that I have ever encountered. Go to class, pay attention! You will have everything you need to be successful if you do that. Homework is weighted as heavily as exams. It helps to check it with your peers. If you understand the HW you will be prepared for exams. Just put in the work! Oh, and don't be late!

He's a great teacher but his class is very hard. even if you are SLIGHTLY weak with algebra, this class will be painful. He's a super nice guy and it's clear he cares about his students. His homework and tests are hard. He encourages students to come into office hours for help

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Black. He is by far the kindest teacher ever. he will go out of his way to help you if you visit during office hours. While there is almost no extra credit, if you take good notes and do well on the homework, it is an easy 4.0. Truth be told, I couldn't select enough good tags about him. You will learn!

He's such a good teacher that I've considered getting a math degree. Not because I'm amazing at it but because he makes math both interesting and engaging. I'd 100% recommend him to anyone who thrives under good teaching. If/when he offers practice exams, practice them and you'll do really well on the exams. Best teacher I've had at GR thus far.

Homework is worth 50% of your grade, which is a good thing and a bad thing because you can work with others but he is a really tough grader. Can come off as a little condescending if you aren't good at the concepts right away.

Amazing professor! He explains everything with great detail. Tests are very similar to his practice problem (he gives practice problems and tests before any test). He is also very helpful during his office hours.

I recommend taking Black for calculus! He is super organized and his lectures are engaging. Never have had better looking notes from any other class. Test are 50% of grade and homework is the over half. If you want to understand calculus, take him!

Best Calculus / Math teacher of my life. Whether you like Math or not, you will like it after taking a class with him. He explained the materials very well, and his grading is fair; pay attention to him, and you won't fail. HWs are pretty straightforward; exams are based on HWs. Calc might be hard, but not with him being the teacher. Never be late!

Good calc teacher, explains things well and will take his time. Pretty nice and fun guy. HW does get a lot harder so make sure you always try your best. Tests are pretty easy if you understand the homework. Never be late though, he will make a big deal about it. Good idea to make a study buddy for the class if you wanna do better.

Most people his exams are hard. But.. that is not true. Focus on HW. Then, easy 4.0

Overall, Mr. Black is a great teacher. Don't bother asking questions about the homework during class because he is SUPER vague. He is much more helpful during his office hours. Make sure you are on time to class or he will most likely call you out in front of everyone as you walk in. I didn't even have the textbook for this class and did just fine.

The best Professor in GRC, confirmed! He really puts efforts in his lecture, and is very clear in explaining concepts. Homework isn't much and is fairly easy, and accounts for (roughly) 45% of your grade. Tests are very similar to the homework; they go hand-in-hand basically. Review your homework carefully and you can breeze through the test!

He is overall the best teacher I've ever taken at Green River. He always makes sure you feel comfortable so you don't have to put yourself up with a lot of pressures and stress while going to class or doing exams. He has a great sense of humour and is very clear about every topic he teaches.

Best math professor I ever had. He always answers questions and explores each topic in detail. His personality is very friendly, he is good at joking. Homework is small, and you dont need to use the textbook. The tasks in the tests are very similar to the trial versions. It is obvious that he loves his subject very much, lectures are interesting.

He is a very good teacher with a very clear lecture. He really wants all his students to pass. The practice hw is very similar to his test. He is also very big with being on time.

He's a great teacher. The only problems I really had is his test are 75% of your grade which is pretty unrealistic. And some problems on the test are not taught in class. Other than that he's a good teacher.

Fantastic teacher. Gives great presentations and presents detailed and neat notes. Homework is like the examples, and tests are like the homework. Come to class, take good notes, make you sure you understand the concept of every single hw problem before you turn it in and you will do GREAT. I would jump at the chance to take Prof Black again.

TAKE PROFESSOR BLACK IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. His lectures are amazing, he goes based off of the class feedback, very good at building up the concept and making sure that you understand where he is getting his numbers/equations. The homework requires out of the box thinking, but his grading is very clear. Tests are like the practice (almost exactly)

Steve is the coolest math teacher in GRC. His way of teaching is relaxing, funny and understandable. There are lots of HW, but that helps you a lot. You shouldnt skip class. Exams are quite hard for the majority of students, but they seems easy, he likes adding challenging questions in exams for you to "conquer". btw I got 4.0, easily

Professor Black is an amazing instructor. He goes in depth and enjoys having the class figure out concepts before he explains them. Attendance and participation are big, you won't pass if you skip. He only grades 5 problems from each homework, but he's also a very hard grader. He's too smart for his own good and he has high expectations.

Lectures were easy to follow - Prof Black didn't use long powerpoint slides, and every step is given clarification. Homework was reasonable and we had time in class to ask questions about homework. Practice problems for exams were especially helpful.

He is the best professor in GRC. His lecture is super clear! As long as you do homework by yourself, you will be fine on tests. I recommend going to math learning center to get help for homework. Tests are quite similar to the homework problems. Good luck!!!

He is one of the most amazing instructors at GRC, I really enjoyed his class as he introduces the topics in a way that is easy to understand and inclusive of the students. Calculus is a tough subject in itself but it was made interesting and fun because of him.

I wouldnt say he is a terrible teacher but I could not comprehend any of the calculus. I know that a lot of people like him but I did not feel that way. He is a great person and Im sure his lectures were helpful to others, but not me.

I have not taken a better professor at green river than professor Black. His lectures are about as good as it gets. He can be a little tough on grading, but overall you will learn the material if you show up to class. He is very friendly and loves to answer question. If you have the opportunity to take him, then do it.

Good lectures, reasonable homework, and exams that are directly reflective of the assignments. He calls on people randomly, which I hate, but he is understanding if you can't answer. I did not use the textbook. He gives out reasonable partial credit on exams. I missed class several times and was fine with the notes, but being late is a deduction

Professor Black is very enthusiastic about what he teaches, which makes it easy to learn. If you make sure you understand the homework and are willing to ask questions, you will do fine. His assignments won't force you to spend a lot of time on the class so make sure you understand things well.

Very straightforward and streamlined class. Lectures are really engaging and he is very organized. Gives extra credit for catching mistakes on the homework, and also goes over homework questions. Gives answers to homework so that you know you're on the right track, but requires that you show your work.

He's a good teacher; his homework and exams are pretty easy. However, in my opinion, the exam time is too limited, only 1 hour (58 minutes for exact) to complete it. He also cares for students, just because we study online so the activities are limited but he would definitely invite you if there are some club or fun meeting with people who lovemath

I really enjoy the way that Professor Black explains the material. He is very logical in the way he displays complex topics and makes them very easy to understand. Tests are worth 75% of your final grade, however the majority of the questions on the test are very similar to those on the homework.

The teacher's homework is one document a week. His lecture is very clear and easy to understand. His exams are very, very heavy. His homework needs to be uploaded. Online exams are fixed-time. Time is very tight. Teachers are very nice people. Because exams account for 75%, every exam is very important. There are three exams. Each unit is an exam.

The way that the course material was presented made it fairly easy to understand. The professor responded within a decent amount of time, although the exams and homework did take a little while to be graded. There was a lot of peer interaction in which we could ask each other questions and help explain how to solve problems we were struggling with.

He is good and I would like to take him again but he has a lot of homework but is still well organized in his class.

Amazing lectures. If you do your work and pay attention you'll be fine. Put in extra work and your grade will reflect that. He gives heads-up to everything and informs you everything you must know for your exams. Nothing unreasonable. Every point i missed in this class was completely on me. Only complaint is very short exam times.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will miss a lot in 1 day. Calc moves fast/is all connected, if you don't understand topic you will be left behind. Hw starts slow, then ends up being about 2 sheets per week. Answers are provided on hw, you're graded on work. He had great explanations and made topics easy to understand.

Prof Black is great. He can be a little strict if you're late to class. No notes online, so you'll need some friends to send you notes if you want to keep up, but you have to be there to understand the concept. Taking notes is easy in his class since he tells you what to write down. He's also very caring, always willing to help work out problems.

His lectures are amazing, almost every day I walked out feeling like I knew what to do and that he was Einstein Jr. One small issue is that there are only 2 categories going into the grade, 75% tests (3 tests all quarter) and 25% homework. If you did bad on a test your grade tanked a decent bit due to the test being work 25% of your overall grade.

Mr. Black was a pretty good professor. His lectures were fine, though it could be difficult to follow along. Homework wasn't bad, but 75% of your grade is from exams, so the final exam hurt my grade. He's nice and funny, but he never knows when the class is struggling or if just a few students understand. I'd take him again, but he wasn't the best.

Class was somewhat challenging; be ready to spend a lot of time on his class. However, he was an amazing teacher that gave great lectures and was well-spoken. On Fridays he'd do a study day and provide a YouTube video which explained the topic very well. Only 10-12 homework assignments, but make sure to study for the tests.

Great lectures and does a great job getting the point across. Tests pretty much determine your grade but he is always around and super helpful.

Homework is alright. Reasonable due dates. Grades are heavily depedent on tests (75%). Dropped from a 4.0 to a 2.9 with just the final exam. Short exam times. Often had to rush to finish them. Lectures are engaging and funny, but attendance is required to get notes. Posts videos on Friday going over the topic left off on Thursday.

Great at teaching

The class is extremely test heavy and heavily determines your grade. There isn't too much homework and he gives good lectures. Overall an extremely nice professor but the class does require quite a bit of time.

There's 3 tests in total which are worth a lot of your grade. The biggest thing is that you need to spend a lot of time with this class to fully be able to understand the concepts and you'll do good.

He gives you lots of extra credits on exams. He is a tough grader on homework. He won't accept any submissions after the deadline and won't change the grade after grading. Professor Black is overall a very nice professor for me.

Professor Black is extremely easy to follow and he made learning Calc much easier to me. He constantly urges the students to ask questions when reviewing homework and on more difficult topics (unit 3). He gives extra credit on tests so if you are struggling on a specific topic, you can work on some fairly easy extra credit problems.

Mr. Black is an amazing professor. He has passion and cares about the subject and his students. His courses are well organized and easy to follow. My only complaint is that he doesn't have much flexibility with due dates and the homework was turned in on paper, so if you're absent, you're out of luck. The overall workload is manageable.

I really love this professor. He is really good at explaining. Attendance is a bit harsh but everything's great. As long as you do his homework properly, you can do well in your exams.

Steven Black was a very great teacher. He enthusiastically always taught the lessons he gave which made it fun to learn along with him. His homework load was also very light as we only got two weekly assignments. However, his grading scale was tough on those who aren't good test takers as 3 tests made up 75% of the grade.

Each test is worth 17.5 percent of your grade and there are 4 of them. He is a good professor just don't miss class and study before exams. He will often choose hard versions of problems.

He's the best math teacher I've ever had! His lectures were fun and easy to understand. 75% of your grade is based on 3 different tests, the other 25% on homework which is graded harshly, but he offers a lot of extra credit on each exam, and nothing on them is unexpected. I hope to be able to take him again.

He was able to teach very well, and it is very clear he is passionate about math and teaching his students. He covers the material well and explains using proofs. His class is very test-heavy, and he is not flexible when it comes to due dates regarding homework. It is important to take notes and work on reviewing the material well.

Excellent lectures with clear, complete, bottom up explanations and illustrations. Homework is interesting but difficult. No late submissions. Heavy exam grade weight, but exams are directly based on the homework so there will be no surprises if you study. Attempt homework early and ask for help early, it can take a few days to get feedback online.

Professor Black is engaging and passionate about the subject. While the grading is test-heavy, he offers generous extra credit to offset this. Unstuck AI proved helpful for test prep alongside the textbook. Attend class, do the homework, and you'll do well.

I will actually be taking him again for MATH142. He was an amazing prof, gave good notes, the exams were exactly what the hw was, and he only gave 4 problems roughly from the hw a day. The way to turn in the hw is weird but not too difficult, and although he doesn't have exceptions to late stuff, he drops your lowest hw grade. Funny and very chill!

He teaches really well and throughly explains everything. The tests are exactly like the homework and are pretty easy and only like 10 questions. He also has an extra credit question that really help

This is the second quarter I had Professor Black, and he was very enjoyable. He wants you to shout out your answers so don't be afraid to speak up. For the homework, you can't turn it in late at all, but to make up for it he drops your lowest homework grade. He was very funny and personable and made it as enjoyable as possible while teaching well.

Had weekly homework and discussions. Three exams that were weighted 70% in total but almost all of the questions are from the homework. His lectures are like Michele Wallace's, very loud and active. He does call you out by name to answer some questions during lecture. Just do well on the homework, he drops the lowest one though.

My goat... Professor Black is passionate about teaching and you are able to see that in every lecture. He explains things very well and made me excited to go to class. However he does randomly call on students but if you don't know what to do he is very kind and doesn't make you feel bad for giving a wrong answer.

Amazing professor, lectures helped me understand the material a lot. Exams are weighted very heavy, but the questions on the exams are similar to the practice study guides. Your lowest homework grade is dropped, and your final grade is rounded to the nearest whole number when converted to a decimal grade (Hopefully you get xx.5 or higher..!)

learn various stuff

BEST MATH TEACHER! I take his Math151 Class and it was one of the most straight forward class ever. I do acknowledge that he gave quite some homework, but that's his method to get you to learn. Because the test that he gave is around 90% similar to the homework. His grading consists of 10% student discussion form, 20% HW, and 70% Test.
