he gave his classes a test the friday of the AU vs UA game when it was here. since my class was at 3:00 in the afternoon, that really was not cool. he went out of town. hopefully you had a good cal teacher in high school.

Hard to understand, but gives you practice problems to study for the test and picks directly from them for the test questions. He's easy if you give up a few hours before the test to learn everything. Not to good at teaching, I got a tutor and got an A.

Makes the easy things seems so hard. He is hard to understand.

Very hard class, test are impossible to pass. Cannot understand a word he says.

If you are not good in math - stay away! Hard class. Take Paul Kornman for pre cal if he is available. It is worth the late class time!

At the beginning of this course, I was lost. Over half of the class dropped, and then the class got extremely easy. He gave out study guides with the exact problems that are on the test, even for the final. I ended up with an A. He does have an extremely strict attendance policy.

Just work your ass off for the begging and then it gets easier because he gives you everything you need after that. I got a C for the first part but ended up with an A.

You can't understand what he's saying. He just writes the problems on the board, solves them, and moves on. he doesn't interact with the class.

easy if you try, get a tutor and its a breeze

he really isn't that bad. Be careful about asking ques. b/c he will make you feel stupid. Make it through the 1st test and it is downhill from there. Memorize the study guide questions they are EXACTLY what will be on the test. And don't expect to miss class- tough attendence policy!

rambles on and on about irrelevant material. required attendence, and huge cumulative final. very unclear and refuses to admit his mistakes.

WOW! HUGE ASS FINAL WORTH 42% sucks. He doesnt curve and is pretty strict on the "partial credit" he gives out for problems. It is a hard class, and he isnt easy. There are other teachers out there with easier finals...but otherwise he is alright.

Dr. Albrecht is probably the rudest teacher at Auburn but if you study the review questions you can do well.

he is the worst teacher ive ever had...does not know how to explain what he is doing. Tests only have 10 questions and no study guide or extra credit. Counts attendance and is rude to students who ask questions!!! NEVER BEEN MORE SERIOUS STAY AWAY FROM THIS JERK!

The WORST teacher I've had my entire college career. His tests are horrible, and he isn't very clear when he teaches the lessons. Also, the GTAs were unhelpful.

This was an aweful class i will admit...but his policy on giving you the higher grade if you do good on the exam is awesome! i failed the first two tests then i made an A on my final and he gave me an A for the semester! it ended up not being that bad of a class! i would not reccomend him as a teacher though...hes rather hard to understand.

GET OUT NOW!! I am making the second highest grade in Bus Cal 1, and I made a bad grade in his class. The attendance counts for NOTHING on your grade, and if you need just HALF A POINT to help your entire score go up a letter grade, he'll laugh at your face. He enjoys it.

had him for Linear Alg. Awful teacher. Very smart, but not good at teaching it. Moves way too fast and will not go over any old material. Expects you to know everything about the class before taking it. If you show him you know it on the final though, he will give you a grade. Still, he's a jerk and bad teacher, don't take him unless u have t

He may seem like a jerk, but for crying out loud he gives 30 problems a week before the exam and ten of those are on the tests. With a little bit of effort, you can easily handle his crazyness and get a B in the class. The material can be very hard, but get a tutor to help you work out the problems and you should be able to get an A

He is AWFUL. This is a science course for non-science majors, so we're just there because we have to be but he makes it so difficult on you. HW questions that he doesn't provide answers for, not sitting on slides long enough for you to take notes, mandatory attendance, VERY involved labs, I had to do more for this class than my physics course.

this guy is hands down the worst teacher i have had in my entire life. i have always had A's in math and i cant even pass one of the idiots test. he is a jerk and the school needs to do itself and its students a favor and fire the prick. do yourself a favor and take anyone else

this guy is hands down the worst teacher i have had in my entire life. i have always had A's in math and i cant even pass one of the idiots test. he is a jerk and the school needs to do itself and its students a favor and fire the prick. do yourself a favor and take anyone else

awful professor! this class is supposed to be a somewhat easy class, however the professor makes it way more difficult than it is supposed to be. He is a math teacher teaching concepts of science. He posts the slide shows online but does random clicker questions in lecture. Tests are ridiculous and his accident is terrible. Good luck if you take hi

He was ok at best. As long as you go to class, take notes, and do the homework every night you should be fine. You might have to ask for help on some stuff cuz he does thing your an idiot if you ask a question, but just try to ingore it. And he will ramble for half the class period, one day he talked for 15 minutes about the history of math.

He's pretty difficult to understand but there is no reason not to get an A in the class. He gives a review sheet the day before the test, and the test are exactly the same as the review sheet. He doesn't change the numbers or anything. Take him if you want an easy A but don't really care about learning.

Had him for concepts, he was awful. couldnt understand him. the lab teacher was amazing but he is not a good teacher at all. Made the question on test very tricky! had to take a W for the semester.

His tests are a lot harder than they should be and it is pointless to attend class because he doesnt teach you anything. If you take his class be prepared to be miserable.

The final grade consists of 3 tests and the lab. Do not take concepts unless you are willing to read. A lot. Each test has barely coherent themes that require a knowledge of far more than is reasonable. Lectures are worthless. GTAs are no help. The lab is the only easy A. Test wording is atrocious. Don't take this class unless you're masochistic.

He is really hard. Like I feel bad for him because you can tell he's nice in person but his tests are so hard and I just did worse the longer I studied. To prepare us for the 7 chapter exam, he says: read the book a lot. That's 300 pages. Don't take this class. I would rather be in Biology or even Chemistry

Take a different professor. The tests are difficult, and reading the textbook is not all that helpful. Lab helps your grade out the most. He does not respond to emails. He wants you to figure things out for yourself without much guidance. Always go to class, if you have to take this course. The lab quizzes are tedious, but straightforward.

Dr. Albrecht is a terribly difficult teacher. Only science majors have a shot at making an A in the class. You will read the book a lot and the tests are ridiculously difficult.

Accent is thick, classes are useless. Do not plan on learning anything in class. Read the book and study the book and you'll do fine. Assuming of course you aren't a stereotypical liberal arts student, then you're probably screwed--study hard.

Albrecht is one of the least helpful and most disrespectful teachers I've ever had. He'll ask the class a question and gets frustrated when nobody answers, but it's because if you're wrong he'll berate you and begin ranting about the laziness/idiocy of the class. He has study guides etc. but is a very strict grader, so it doesn't help much.

This is by far my worst professor. He has a very thick accent, but is still understandable for the most part. There are no study guides for the class and he doesn't have a review class session before any tests. The powerpoints he puts up during the class do not help you at all for the tests. To pass his class, you MUST read the textbook.

He is difficult to understand and its impossible to sufficiently prepare for his tests. The only professor I've had that no matter how hard I studied I made no improvement.

He has a thick German accent that makes understanding anything he says near to impossible. He refuses to review what will be on tests and simply tells you to read the book. The ONLY way to survive this class is to read the textbook chapters over and over! If it all possible go for another professor!

Super hard to understand, get ready to spend all your time studying to even get a possible B

The class is not all that bad as I thought. He can be hard to understand at times due to his German accent and is not the best help. Just make sure to read the book or get some additional help and you will be fine.

YOU NEED THE STUDY GUIDES they are verbatim the exams!!!! IF you have them, then the class is easy and you don't even need to go to class I made a 70 on the first exam, then once I had the study guides I never made below a 95! Find them! athletes will get them first, then people well connected to friends, make friends in the class and ask around!

Excused OR unexcused absences are both unexcused.. unless you want to write a long paper on what you missed. Yep. Write a paper on calculus II material that you weren't even there to hear anything about. Miss three and he fails you instantly. Even if you submit the paper, there's a change he'll deny the paper and gives you a strike anyway.

I wouldn't take him again in a large lecture class. Attendance was mandatory, & if you had one unexcused absence you either had to write a paper or have your final grade dropped a letter grade. Very thick accent. Works very fast & is hard to follow. You will have to do A LOT of independent studying. It was the only reason I ended with a good grade.

Well, I only got an A because I had the tests and i went to lab. Get them or you'll probably get a B or C. Also, attendance is mandatory.

He was very hard to understand bc of his accent. The power points were straight from the book. His tests were hard. The lectures were long and boring.

He might as well teach in German because he zooms through lectures. However, the recitation help immensly.

I feel upset to this class. My final exam grade is enough to get A or B but he still gives me C for total level(even I attend classes and finish homework) No extra credit and lots of homework, I do not want to take his class again.

He is German and very hard to understand. The tests have absolutely no ties to the lecture which is frustrating because attendance is mandatory.

Welcome to High School Science 101! Unfortunately, while this should be the easiest thing you do in college, every prof that teaches this class insist on making it miserable. Enjoy!

Requires attendance but class is useless. Sit in the back and do other work because listening to him is a waste of time. Just get a test bank (everyone has them) and memorize all of those as studying because the test comes verbatim from those.

His lectures are super boring and his tests are over stuff he doesn't cover. His accent is fairly strong and I had a difficult time understanding a lot of what he said. Honestly his lectures are useless, but buy the textbook and READ IT. That is the only way you can pass his tests.

Very harsh and strict during class, he will call you out if you are on your phone. I got A's on the first two exams only because of the rarely given scales but failed the others. Make sure to read your notes and definitely go to class. A second absence will result in a letter grade deduction. Good luck you will need it.

Only reason I passed this class is because of a test bank. His lectures are pointless because he basically just reads you the book. Hard to understand. Doesn't take attendance, but occasionally gives 10 bonus points if you show up. Suggests you just read the book for the final exam.

Most everything he teaches is not actually on the tests- his test are always extremely random and are very hard to study for. The lab for this class also is not beneficial and is very hard to pass or to understand the material. The lab is not very organized and has nothing to do with the lecture so it is basically just another science class.

Do not take this class if you have never taken calculus before, nearly everyone who hadn't dropped this class! He prepares you well for future maths but if you did not get an A in high school calc, I recommend taking another professor & just studying with ppl taking Albrecht to save your GPA. He is a nice person, doesnt seem like it at first though

Dr. Albrecht is without a doubt, a very talented mathematician, but in large lectures, he seems more focused on going over the material for himself than making sure his students understand. The only benefit from his lecture was from blindly copying down as much as possible and then breaking it down in the twice weekly recitation classes with my TA.

Albrecht is very strict about certain things. After one unexcused absence, your grade drops a letter grade for each subsequent absence. Hell call people out in the middle of lecture for cell phones. Also, he makes it clear from the first day of class that he will not curve, give extra credit, or drop grades. Hes tough but fair.

Very hard. HOWEVER, he makes the final. Says he wouldn't curve but did curve the final exam. I did very poor and needed a C to get a B but somehow still got a B. Homework is required so is attendance. You can do it, just try other teachers if you can.

Ok, here is the scoop. This professor is bad. He shows up to class, slams the textbook on the table, and starts writing. He just shows off and does not really teach. He does not respect his students - often calls people out. Do the recitation - only way I succeeded in this class. His tests are super hard but he prepares you for the final.
