He should never teach a prep math class. For us who have never had algebra, he does not explain things well at all. The guy is like a live wire. He really should evaluate his teaching approach. I do not recomend him for any prep math classes!!! He has no compation for anybody at all!

I took Mr. Misner's class for the 12 (not 16 week) semester. Very fast - but he had to be for the alloted time. After explaining each new problem he'd ask if anyone had any questions - if not he'd go on. He is very accommodating and fair. You can get a good grade if you use the Math Lab-so use it!
