Excellent professor. I've always been put off by math but his teaching method is really good, very active and engaging. Really enjoyed coming to class. The professor is very clear and helpful, and is willing to go over anything you didn't understand. If you take notes, do HW, study, and ask questions; you'll do well in the class.

Mr T. I call him Professor T. He is a blessing in disguise. He is hard yet fair and he WANTS you to learn. He makes math fun! IF you ask questions he keeps answering. He is not intimidating. He explains well especially if you ask questions. I thank God for him, this class was VERY hard for me online, but here is tutoring he's very stylish.. Golddie

I love Mr. T for his compassion for teaching and for myself because I am 56 years old. He has great attitude that makes us want to learn more. He has the patience to stop and explain anything you don't understand. He makes sure we understand the material, if not, he shows an alternate way to solve problems.

Professor T is a great teacher here at CCC in general. He was able to see that I had trouble with Calculus last year and recommended that I take his online Statistics class while retaking Math190. I ended up getting A's in both classes which says a lot about his wisdom and knowledge of the subjects. Overall, looking forward to his Calculus 2 class.

Great professor! To pass this class, do the homework, show up to class and read PPT before class. Also, he allows you one page of notes for the exam and the exam is based on the homework, so make sure you take good notes off the homework. If you show him that you are really trying, then he might bump you up a letter grade for the final grade.

Made us watch videos of another teacher talking. Expected full lesson retention from those videos. Not enough learning resources to reinforce what was learned on those old videos. He would have you answer five questions (that were very time consuming) to only end up selecting one "random" question to grade. I did not like his teaching methods.
