This Jesus look alike does what he can with what he has. You have to read each chapter as he explains them or else you will not understand it. He gives out hw 3 times with three weeks to do it. The material is hard in general.

If you go to Todd and talk to him about any trouble you're having, he'll listen and understand. He's clear in class yet he does absolutely nothing to prepare you for the exams. He says it himself that he's lazy. Also, he's very unhelpful when you ask him to help you with a problem you don't understand.

He's a pretty good professor, compared to the other math teachers in john jay. Explains all his work great. Gives three exams which you must study for, and a final. If you want to do really good in a math class, take him, hes worth it...

i don't think he looks like jesus, more like russell brand...aside from his looks and oddities, saying he's sarcastic is an understatement, but his classes are fun and he covers it with ease, but if you're struggling with class-beware, he lacks patience, overall great teacher

Very goo professor, very sarcastic ! LOVED his class. Just attend class and do your work ! If he sees that your really trying, he will pass you

He's a pretty cool guy, slightly sarcastic but you get used to it. His class is relatively easy as long as you pay attention, he knows what he is talking about.

Stambaugh is awesome. If you pay attention and study you WILL pass his class he runs through everything you will pass. He gives alot of homework but it helps you learn the material. He has a dry sense of humor which I find hilarious.

Professor Stambaugh is amazing I loved his class and didn't miss a day of it. His exams are a little easy. I think he should make it more chanlenging since everyone is complaining so much. I think he does his best to make the exam so everyone can pass. I hope he teaches Calc 3 ....

Professor T. Stambaugh gives his furthest effort to help his students achieve their potential in math. Do not complaint if you don't show up for class or if you don't do the assigned homework. If math is not your strength, too bad, choose pathways. Over all, T. Stambaugh is a great asset to John Jay College!!!!!!

HE was awesome for Calculus 2! What I like about Stombaugh is the fact that he does not hand out passing grades! You get what you get, he cruves a little bit but its all on you! The amout you study and how motivated you are to pass.

Prof. Stambaugh is one of the best math professors I have had as a math minor. His grading criteria is clear, he does assign a lot of hw which can be overwhelming but looking at the bigger picture, it's very useful. His exams are not as hard as the hw on Webassign and he does drop the lowest grade. WARNING: he counts the final twice. Amazing prof!

Personally, I like math and I found prof. Stambaugh to be very good. He does give a lot of hw but the exams are easier. He is always willing to help and wants people to participate. In my class no one would talk, nor participate at all which made the class boring. He is very knowledgeable.

Had him for MAT141 and taking him again for calc2. Many people don't like his style of teaching but he makes things so easy to understand!! The only thing is to actually participate cause he hates it when no one asks questions. He doesn't just hand out answers and makes sure you understand what you are learning. Highly recommend!!!!

Dude, he is a cool teacher. And funny, lol. He likes the students who answer his or ask him questions. I am good at math, so the class is very easy for me. However, some other students are not. It looks like that they are so tired every day. What you need to do is taking more sleep, taking notes, doing homework carefully. He is a very nice teacher.

I'm his former student. He is still among the best of professors I have ever taken. His lecture is very stepwise. But for taking his course, you must have some math ability. He cannot teach you simple math on class. It really takes time and the schedule will lag behind. For those students not satisified, he even curve the grade. What do you want?

I took Calc II with Professor Stambaugh during the summer session so I knew it was going to be fast paced. I just dont know why people complain about him - hes really nice and want people to learn. Yes, he gives a lot of homework but its all good practice for his tests and final. Showing up for class, studying and taking notes are necessary.

This is why people who are passionate about their subject SHOULD teach. Im not paying to watch live reenactments of Khan Academy. Stambaughs lectures balanced practical and interesting. He welcomed questions and explained things multiple times if asked. A lot HW, but he must get WebAssign notifications because hed help at any time, thankfully.

Provided a free online textbook for the course. Homework assignments online through webworks; they have due dates but he eventually re-opens them at the end of the semester so you can try to get a higher homework grade. Had three exams and one final. Drops the lowest grade. Ask questions if you get confused he will help you understand.

He's awesome. His behavior is unique, a bit strict but upfront and clear about all the rules and policies of the class. He is disappointed when no students talk or raise their hands. I'd say hes a unique professor with a good sense of humor and sarcasm, I didn't do so well on the homework tho but he curved SLIGHTLY thanks man for passing me XD

He's a funny and good professor. Ask for help he's always willing to help. I'm terrible at math but he made things understandable. Show up, no extra credit.

makes you work for your grade. Throughout the semester, he was more than happy to help out if needed. It's true he's a tough grader & he doesn't curve, but he is good if you pay attention in class and do the daily homework that he does not collect. In the beginning, he asked the class how we wanted to class to run 2 small tests 1 midterm 1 final

Dr. Stambaugh was by far the most organized, communicative, and reasonable professor I had this semester. No lectures, just a weekly small group meeting, but he was always responsive to questions and clearly wants us to learn and succeed. Straightforward, easy tests that focus on the concepts. Thank you for restoring my self-confidence in math!

He's a good professor but is really demanding

This professor made sure to go through lectures very slowly. He is very understanding and pushed the exam dates twice. Exams are very easy if you utilize the study tools, make sure you write everything you know about the problem because he gives credit for work not just the right answer. Definitely recommend for MAT 105!

NUMBER ONE THING: DO THE ALEKS!!! There's homework and quizzes on there that will be a portion of graded work. We had an exam per packet. He taught clearly and never made you feel like you couldn't ask a question for clarification. I enjoyed his class. He'll say to work with someone on a set of questions and then go over them as a class (rare)

DO THE ALEKS. I got an A on almost every test and hw assignment, but ended with a B because I did not meet the time for Aleks. Pretty easy material and a good teacher, but it does sometimes feel like class goes too slow.

Prof Stambaugh is an amazing professor, he's very knowledgeable about his subject and super confident. He doesn't try to get to know the student and digs straight into the material. Do complete your Aleks and try increasing your pie, it helps a lot. 4 exams in total. It's not that hard, as long as you try your best, and contact him for help.

This professor is very nice; he likes to engage in conversation with students and makes a lot of jokes.

Great pace, has many reviews, and loves participation. "No phone" policy. ALEKS is easy, just 5 hours a week. 3 quizzes, one final. We had no midterm. Posts a very detailed test practice on brightspace. Use it. Note that missing a class is a bad idea but you can catch up semi-easily. Do not stress this class because ALEKS will help you study.

He will do some talking from time to time at the start of the class but once you get into the swing of things after the mandatory quiz at the start of each class based on the reading from the text book. The class is very easy if you just pay attention, go home and apply yourself. He makes it very clear on how to pass and what to do to pass.

Good professor, learned a lot, clear, tough, and fair.
