The class was hard because i took it over the summer. He is a great professor, explains well but his tests are hard. He puts true/false questions and he likes proofs and definitions. Read the book and pay attention in the class b/c his lectures are helpful during the test.He gives online homework but he will explain you until u understand.

He is a really good professor. He explains everything really clearly. Many people say that his test are hard but personally I think his test are super easy. There are many more harder problems in homework. No trick questions on the test. Sure, he gives proofs but if you know what you're doing you shouldn't bother. Highly reccommended.

Great!!! HARD!!!!! But if u actually want to learn take him.. class is curved and grading scale is based on the class.. so helpful and a fun class...tests real hard...need to know your defs. there are true and false questions that suck... he is a young guy...and it helps in his teaching...hard but worth it

a hard teacher but you learn in his class

He is a great guy,very friendly,he's a good listener to his students comments and question,deffs are really important,very fun and learaning atmosphere,the only thing which is a little bit wrong in my opinion, is the similarities between the exam problems and homworks.

This is one of the best math teachers you can possibly find. He is modern and uses online homework that has automatic solutions. His tests are not easy, but if you take notes and do homework you will like them. He grades by the curve and I got an good A with 89.4 %.

amazing teacher i dont know what everyones complaining about. just go to class study and you'll do fine!

In my opinion, the tests are super easy.. The people who say it is totally hard, are obviously slackers. I got an easy A. He teaches very well and he is very helpful. Just study ahead and do the HW. before the tests, solve all the tests from last semester(which he provides)and go through the notes. He is nice but knows how to be mean.No chatting~

Ok, online HW doesn't work. Curving, he needs to just stop that, make a fair test and you wont need to curve. I am a straight A student and loved math, but he turned me off to it. He is yet to learn what GCC students really need, we are not all math majors. For now I say take a diff teacher, maybe in a few years Voden will be good. For now NO sorry

Very online oriented, but has the ability to relate all math theorms and topics to every day use. One of the BEST math professors at GCC. Online home work is easy (answers are given if you get it wrong) The test are short and easy (uses same problems posted on his website) quiz are random but keeps you on your toes. OVERALL GREAT PROFESSOR!

Dr. Voden is great. GCC is lucky to have such a professor on board. He teaches the concepts rather than plug-in examples.He is nice, serious and commands lots of respect. I suggest start with him from the lower level math and follow him to the highest level you need. Great for Math/Science majors. Students seeking grades only, need to reconsider.

he is amazing. he doesn't like students who memorize math. do not take his class if you do not have any passion for math.

He is the best teacher i had. He is always there to help you, he cares. Internet homework is great and easy. He helped me to get an strong base for the following math classes. If you want to actually learn, not just pass the class, take Voden!

this guy's awsome.his tests arent difficult at all just know ur stuff and you'll be fine.

Take Him, he is the best. I took Tom for both 103 and 104, I could tell he has his own style of teaching. now that I am in university I appreciate his style even more. Tests are 60% easy and 40% super hard so you can get easy F but you have to work hard for the rest of the 40% to get an A. I got B both times but it was my fault. very helpful person

He's very interested in having a dialogue with his students. He's willing to say anything twice if you didn't get it the first time. As long as you feel comfortable asking for help, and crack the textbook open sometimes you ought to do well. He's also pretty funny and quite engaging, passionate about maath.

Dr. Voden is the best.I took math103 in the first semester that he started teaching in GCC.I was surprised by his method.He respect the students opinion,argues with students,and he's friendly.I remember he was constantly saying that, "I don't want you to memorize anything in math,since there are lots of things to memorize,memorizing will slowUdown.

the best one i have ever had.It's calculus guys.no one makes it hard. you've got to study.it will be hard for you if it's your first time you have studied the materials.I took with him and i got A.There are some suprise quizzes which are piece of cake and 3 tests which are neither easy nor hard so-so.take him he is the best.

I am horrible at Math. I took Voden in 09'. He was a huge help to me. While planning my wedding, working full time, taking another class, and my Grandmother passing away in the same semester, I was still able to accomplish passing two tests in his class. Self paced is not easy. I'll make up my last unit soon. Take him!

A great Professor!!! hes wicked smart and aicked good at teaching.. TAKE HIM AND gain mental ram!

Dr. Voden is perhaps the best proffessor at GCC, he takes his time with students to go over the tests. I had not taken math for a very long time, and I did not think I could do well, but Dr. Voden definitely restored my confidence on doing well in math and going back to school. Thank You Dr. Voden

Dr. Voden is the best math prof. i have had. he is incredible. extremely helpful. take him if you really want to understand math. besides the fact that he is very inteligent and helpful, he is also very nice. his tasts are really fun (but not easy). HE IS THE BEST!!!!!! TAKE HIM AND YOU WONT REGRET.

Professor Voden is the best math professor at GCC. He is very very helpful and caring. He wants his students to do well and he does everything he can to make that possible. Calculus is very time consuming but if you try your best in his class you will get the grade you deserve. Take him!

I can just say wooww. He is the best math teacher ever. If u like math and especially stats take him.ur not gonna forget what u learned in his class. tests are alittle hard but if u listened to him in the class u should be ok.

I was really impressed with the class. He's rigorous, well-prepared, presents the material in a clear manner, and really cares about his students. Some students complained about how he presented the material, but that's because his exams hold students accountable for knowing the material. He is worth taking. You will get a lot out of the class!

I failed my first test and was going to drop the class. I thought I would never understand, but Dr. Voden's teaching really helped. He makes himself available all the time. I absolutely loved his videos on the course website which were very helpful. He grades fairly. He really wants his students to learn and not memorize. Glad i took it w/him.

When I took his Math104 class, everything is expected except true/false questions on each exam. It is really really hard. You need to understand materials covered profoundly to do well on true/false questions.

He is the best! He is a wonderful human and a wonderful teacher. I thank him forever for his excellent teaching.

He was an extremely knowledgeable teacher who went in depth in the subject. He teaches without copying straight from the book and explains how to do problems in English and not in math gibberish or the typical coop out "its in the book" However. even though he's a good teacher, his test are hard. He makes you earn your grade.

Dr. Voden is by far the best math professor I have ever had. His explanations are clear and he is always exceptionally helpful and understanding. His class is not easy, but he will go out of his way to help you understand the material. Also, his enthusiasm for math is rather infectious, making the class very enjoyable.

If you are a math major, you would learn a lot from him. If you just want to pass math class, he is probably not your guy. He loves proofs on his tests. ;)

He is young, enthusiastic about what he teaches, and just a good person besides being very knowledgable. He is a tough professor but that's the way it should be for a high level math clss. He drops the lowest quiz and replaces the lowest test score. An A is not impossible. You will definitely learn a lot!!!

super nice and super smart guy...take him!

Grade based on four exams, a final exam, quizzes, and assigned textbook problems. His exams are difficult and challenging; he embeds the concepts you learn in the chapters and addresses a higher level problem (none like any of the textbook problems). I earned an 87% (B) in the class, yet I am happy because I now have a strong mathematic foundation.

He is friendly, cheerful, and makes the class interesting. He wants you to understand, and tries to explain it in the best possible terms. When it's confusing, ask him questions until you understand. It's a LOT of reading for Stats. He is soft spoken, so sit as close to the front as you can.

Awesome guy, but this class is no joke. you have to be willing to put in a lot of time and effort if you wanna do well. for some it was easy so an A is possible. the best thing about Dr. Voden is he forces you to really understand the concepts instead of memorizing, which is probably why people are scared of him, but im glad to have had him :)

Dr. Voden is the first math teacher who could actually help me understand WHY we study math. We all know we are going to forget formulas in a month so why bother? Take Voden's class and you'll see. He loves math and that passion is inspiring. he's not an easy teacher but if you want a foundation in math to serve you for the rest of your career, GO!

He is simply the BEST professor! Do the HW, read the book, pay attention in class and you'll be good to go. He's very helpful too!

gcc has gotta make voden their perminent 197 teacher. he really knows algebra. real clear, easy, and helpful too. just kinda weird i think lol

The rules are pretty straight forward in this class: if you study enough you'll get an A...and you don't really need to be a nerd!

He's awesome! Really good at explaining the concepts; makes it easier to learn the material. Highly recommend him! If you want a good grade show up so he can help you! He is very helpful!!

Voden is isomorphic to awesome.

He loves math, and he loves his job. He is very responsible,on time, helpful and respectful. you have to study everyday to keep up with him in class. he makes you think big. his class is not very hard or impossible. If you study everyday, you will easily get your A. I got an A in his linear algebra class.

Simply, he is the best teacher, with adequate knowledge and well-ogenized.

he is helpful, but you have to try hard in his class to get a good grade. You have to do all the homeworks and you also need to be good in math as well.

Took his statistics class two years ago and I still remember most of the stuff until today. Great professor.

The first math teacher I've ever had who really enjoy his job. Takes the time to clearly explain everything. Trusting when it comes to homework: do as many as you can until you feel confident w/ the section. He's very helpful and supportive of slow-learners. Very philosophical and fun. Tests are difficult. Hoping to take him for future math classes

This guy is the best math teacher I've ever had. He loves math and loves teaching, and he's incredibly smart. If you don't do well in his class, it's not his fault. If you suck at math or you're lazy, don't blame him when you don't get the grade you want because it is the grade you deserve. If you don't want the challenge, take English instead.

He's super easy, really loves math, really knows math, and actually teaches math. If you want to think or learn a new art rather than just memorize something you'll forget tomorrow, take Voden. If you think you hate math, take Voden. Thanks to him, I am now a mathematician, a frustrated artist. Now, I am studying Topology with him independently. <3

By are the most admirable professor I've had at GCC. Always made himself available during office hours. He even tutored me for math104, which is took at the same time as math136, even though I was only taking him for math136. After taking his course, I've come to love statistics. Professor Voden has become a great influence in my academic studies.

Very Helpful! Only person that could ever teach me math. He is very good at explaining and does different class activities that actually get you to learn. I would recommend to anyone and any math level. And hes funny

Very helpfull, funny.. I learned so much in this class. not too much hw

He is a great teacher, very helpful and creative. I think his manner of teaching is for advanced and high level students. Any way, he is one of the best teachers of GCC.

Young and enthusiastic about his work! Explains everything clearly and works with the class every semester to find a teaching method which best suits them. You can get an A if you study hard and ask questions in office hours!

I was in his Statistics class last semester. He's very intelligent educator. Some people might say he's not so organized but you shouldn't expect everybody to be the same. His tests are not easy nor extremely difficult. You have to THINK, not just memorizing the textbook.

An incredible teacher! He really want to make sure all the students understand the material and is available outside class to do so. Definitely not easy, but fair. Highly recommended, especially for math majors.

He explains it crystal clear and he helps and cares. His tests are somewhat difficult though. It is worth taking if you want to learn.

A must take if you want a solid understanding of Calc 1. i had almost no math background but after Voden's lectures I passed the class with 97 percent during a summer session. His final is challenging. He makes sure each question is actually cumulative and nothing was straight forward in the final. But if you listen and take notes its easy

Dr. Voden's class unlike any math class you've taken before. This is not a class for students who are not dedicated to learning and reading the text at home. He doesn't lecture directly from the book. He expects you to come to class having done homework and read. He emphasizes the importance of really understanding the theory behind the concepts.

Great Great Great Smart Professor. You can LEARN in his class and build your foundation for calculus. Will definitely take my higher calculus classes with him again. I highly recommend him for the folks who hate memorization and want to actually learn difficult math concepts.

I loved him as a professor. He gave hw and quizzes to bump up your grade, gave inspirational talks, and helped out as much as he could. His tests were on the harder side, and the final was kinda tough for me. I took him for calc 3 and i wish he taught linear and differentials.

This class is a breeze! Just keep up with the daily online assignments, and you'll be fine. There are two in-person exams that you'll take on the computer, using a calculator and GeoGebra. Don't stress too much—if you stay on top of your daily work, the exams will be a piece of cake. Take this class; you won't regret it!

Took his statistics class in an 8 week summer session and by the grace of god passed with an A. Professor Voden is straightforward with his expectations for the course, and very helpful. Make sure to study for the tests and you'll do fine. The homework is a lot, but it is easy and he gives lots of extensions.
