Excellent teacher, teaches really well, class never gets boring..I recommend taking him
This professor loves to help students pass, but I would recommend you only take the class if you actually DO the work. It's much better if you participate, ask questions and give feedback, because it's very self-monitoring. He is so helpful, but it's up to you to know if you need help (you won't know if you don't do the work!) Help him to help you.
Very willing to teach. His classes are worth it if you are willing to put in the work. If you do not want to take the class and don't put the effort in you will probably have problems.
Dr drucker is a very good teacher, he really cares about students,he is always ready to help them,and always makes sure that everyone understands the exercises.He is such a nice teacher,and very helpful.
very excellent professor, takes his time to explain things into details,extremely helpful,also very knowledgeable.
he is very helpful and intelligent, he takes his time to explain things, he made me love math.very easy to approach, and has a lot of patiences.
Mr Drucker despite his russian accent is a fantastic teacher. Remember this is a math course as long as you can read the numbers and follow minor directions you will do fantastic. He is a great teacher.
i chose prof.drucker because he is patient and doesn't mind going over homework and doing problems step-by-step. if you show true willingness to work he is patient and very helpful.he is also respectful and fair. good teacher if you want to learn...
although i was not there often, he gives you work then leaves the room for about 30 minutes. everyone usually leaves, thought he was a good guy but not a good teacher
This has to be one of the worst math teachers I had at Gateway. Boring and incomprehensible. I can't understand anything with his thick accent.
Help is there when needed. Student studying is very interactive. Professor Drucker is very patient and understanding. If you show interest, he is more than willing to help.
Great Teacher, very helpfun, nice funny and understanding. I have his math class M/W and is a pleasure to take his math class. People who want to learn take his class!!!
Mr. Drucker is a great teacher. He will help anyone who needs it but its hard to help students who do not try.
He was very nice and funny. He wants to see you make an effort. if you do, you should pass with no problem. I would defintly take him again.
He wants you to 'get it'; very passionate and loves math. Will help if you ask for it, even on tests. He likes people who ask questions, show interest, and want to learn. Great teacher. He moves fast, so do not miss a class. Yes, he has a strong accent, but you hear past it.
He loves his topic. He offers lots of extra help. He is friendly and engaging. He has an accent but you can understand him. He wants his students to succeed.
Pro.Druckeris extremely helpful, understanding,and knowledgable.Devon Gonzales
Professor Drucker is able to break down complex topics into understandable forms. Always willing to help and give his time to any student. He is very fair
Dr. Drucker is a great teacher. If you love math, study and do the homework you'll do great. If you don't try, you're not going to do well. It builds heavily on Math 137, so if you didn't do well in 137, you will not do well here. You might have to brush up beforehand, if you don't want to put in hard work and effort, don't take the class. -Kath G.
Professor Drucker is a great teacher. He is very dedicated to helping you understand the material. He will help you if you ask even on the tests. Missing his class though isnt a good idea. He moves pretty fast so its good to be there as much as possible. He makes class fun and easy to learn. His accent is a little thick but you get used to it.
Drucker is obviously a fan of Math and that shows through his teaching. His teaching style is good for students you like a fast paced classroom. Drucker is always available for help and has no problem taking extra time to answer questions if you have them.
A very knowledgeable teacher he knows his material and he delivers well. I enjoyed his class and he is a very helpful teacher. He goes the extra mile and wants to help his students. It is sad he gets students at times who shows no interest in learning
a very dedicated teacher who cares for the interest of his students
he was great, very helpful in making sure you understood the work
Professor Drucker is the best! He has the greatest sense of humor and loves to joke around with his students. He is extremely helpful and patient. While he does have an accent, he is far clearer than my last math professor. He loves when students show interest by asking questions, so participate and you'll be fine! highly recommend him!
Professor drucker, is a very helpful, and passionate teacher! he wants his students to succeed and do well! If there is something you do not understand he will take the time to explain it! If your willing and wanting to learn he is willing and ready to teach you!
Professor Drucker is a wonderful asset to his students. His teaching method affirms that those who want to learn will learn without their experience being hampered by others who may not care to put in any effort. If you have a question, Just ask!
Dr. Drucker demonstrates a clear and infectious enthusiasm for even the most basic mathematical methods matched only by his will to engage and encourage his students to ask questions. Study hard and attend class prepared and you'll do fine!
He really appreciates it when students put in their best effort and actually try. If you do this he is much more lenient with you.
People who want to study and learn will have no problem in this class.
Hi is really good teacher also in class he help a lot. most of the student does not like to math but when i took professor Vitaly class than i thought math very easy. I strongly recommend take professor Vitaly class.
An excellent professor. Always willing to help out students.
If you are a serious student i definitely recommend Vitaly! If you go to his class faithfully and stay the whole time not only will he help you in anyway possible you will get a good grade. He loves it when you ask questions and gives you plenty of time during class to do not only class work but homework as well. He's a great teacher!
I highly recommend Dr. Drucker. He is always willing to help his students. It is also important to study as much as you can for tests and be prepared for class.
Very nice and helpful professor. Don't be scared to take his class, not for the lazy students, he doesn't like them.. Put in the effort that he's looking for and you will receive a grade that you will be looking for. Make the attendance and do the work. Ask questions, he's really nice. Would recommend to anyone.
Great professor and very helpful with any questions that arise. Would definitely take another class with him again!
Dr. Drucker is a kind men willing to do whatever he can in order to help his students. He is easy to approach and always has a smile. Gives plenty of class time for review and homework. Over all glad I took his class.
Good teacher, is willing to help ypu if you are willing to work hard. It is not an eay class if you are not willing to work you will fail.
Dr. Drucker is extremely helpful and considerate. He is always in the students best interest and always greets you with a smile. However you must do your work in order to recieve what you want. You can't in no way think you are getting anything for free. As long as you do what you are supposed to do you will do great. Overall Great Professor!!!!
Excelent teacher! as long as you pay attention in class and do your homework, you will not have a problem. The best math teacher i have ever had. And if you need help and just raise your hand he is very outgoing
An excellent teacher. Has an accent, but not hard to understand him, it actually helps you to pay attention and listen more carefully! Tries very hard to ensure all students understand the material, and explains in a clear way. Very approachable. I'm not great at math, but Prof. Drucker does plenty of examples to ensure everyone's understanding
This professor is a very friendly guy. He connects with his students and likes interacting with them. You can tell that he enjoys what he does.
very helpful and willing to stay and help when needed.
I highly recommend this teacher for any student.
Probably the best math professor I'll ever have.
Best teacher i have ever had. will do everything he can to make sure you understand what he is trying to teach. loves what he teaches and i loved learning what he had to teach. seriously recommend you take his class. Do your homework!!!
Best math professor you'll ever have. Is willing to help you in anyway he can. Don't let his great personality fool you though; you have to do the work. Like in any class, you get out what you put in.
This professor is amazing his willingness to go over the material as much as you need. It's hard to find a professor of such quality that you know he wants you to succeed as much as you want to succeed.
Amazing teacher. If you dedicate your time to learning the material, you will do well.
Professor Drucker is a wonderful teacher that is willing to help his students at anytime and all times. It is mandatory that you do the HW and always attend class. The HW is the key to pass most test and that you study. taking his class is laid back, but be sure to put in the work. He is willing to help you as long as you help him,STUDY AND EFFORT!
He is a very entertaining professor . As long as you want to learn you will he's great and always is willing to help whenever you need it . I recommend him because he pushes his students to try and succeeding in the end :)
This is the kind of professor that will do whatever he can in order for you to succeed. By no means expect to get by with minimal work. Simply put, he rewards effort. If you’re willing to learn you’ll have no problem with his class.
He is a great teacher! he jokes. he EXPLAINS things and answers QUESTINS. has an accent He makes sure you understand before he moves on.But doing homeworks is hardly recommanded to understand, He uses the text and asks if there are any questions you would like to go over.
The best professor ever!! Stay for the class and try your hardest. He acknowledges the effort, always willing to help and has a great sense of humor. GO TO THE FINAL!!!
He is a very helpful teacher and definitely cares and wants everyone to pass. You have to just try your hardest, ask a lot of questions, and do your homework! He doesn't pick or choose who to like over others, he equally jokingly picks on students because he has a huge sense of humor. He likes hard workers over slackers, so work hard for your grade
I found this professor to be extremely helpful. I have never considered myself to be a math person, but with this professor, I am able to understand the information. He cares so deeply about whether or not you understand, but you have to work hard in return. Nothing is for free. Work hard and you'll get a good grade!
Teacher is very helpful and kind. Will go the extra mile to make sure you understand the material.
He is a very good professor and is willing to do whatever it takes to help his students succeed, if you do your homework, pay attention, and ask questions, you will be rewarded!!
Very helpful, I have learned a great deal in his class and you will get a good grade if do your work, is v, and a very good teacher in my opinion.
Professor Drucker is a great teacher. He is very helpful and accommodating if you work hard and want to learn. Take his class if you are willing to do work and you will be fine.
If math is your thing, and you're able to carry your own weight then this class is for you. The Professor will be there for you if you have any questions. He does his very best to help get through each class. Very nice.
Mr. Drucker is a great teacher. Love his work as a math teacher. If you put in some effort you won't have a hard time in his class.
He is a truly great teacher, as long as you come to class and make sure you do you work, you will have no problem getting good grades and learning ALOT in the process!
Great teacher, funny and eager to help students. k
He is a excellent professor, helpful and cares about his students. Take this professor.
I enjoyed every moment of my class with Mr. Drucker. I did learn what i needed and what was needful to be successful in the following class which is Precalculus, and i'm very much thankful.
This professor is always helpful and answers questions in class. Homework is a lot but it is to help understand what is needed to review for the test. Make sure to read the chapter before class and you will go far in this teacher’s lecture. He is a great Teacher and is always helpful and wants you to lean, understand and do well on his tests.
Great guy, he's kind and eager to help his students learn! But don't think your gonna get over on him. You need to do the work, try! Make friends with your classmates because that will come in hand.
Class with Dr. D was a breeze. He makes it easy on you, but putting in time to study the material is necessary. NO SLACKERS. He does prepare you for higher level math courses, if you need to go onto. I highly recommend this professor to anyone. Thanks Dr. D for a great semester!
Great Professor. He is very helpful, and more than willing to adapt the course material to your needs. I feel he truly wants the students to understand the material, rather than just pass the class. If the work is too easy for you, he will give you harder problems, if it is too hard, he will answer any questions you may have.
Great professor! At first, the accent is a little difficule. But once you get past the accent, he's very understanding. He's willing to break down any problem you're having and very willing to help out on tests. He does nothing but set you up for success. Must take
Professor Vitaly is one of my favorite professors! He is understanding and very helpful.
One of the best professors i had yet. His teaching methods were helpful in learning the material, I feel confident that I will pass the next step in math beacause of the Professor
one the best Professors yet. Recommend to anyone who wants to finally understand math.Two thumbs up,
Amazing prof expect to learn in this course, the grade you get is what you earn. One of the best prof I have ever had! .He always tries to help students his best.
He's absolutely one of the best math teachers GWCC has.If u can get over the voice in ur head about why you signed up for this(his accent) and try to observe his method of teaching and master it in a very short time cos time flies as we all know; you WILL most def pass this class very proud of yourself and grateful to this professor. Very kind man!
Very clear on what he expected you to learn for each exam ! Test mimicked the portions of the chapter reviews he assigns the class beforehand. Very approachable, cares more about you mastering the subject than getting a letter grade. Took in 4 week summer term, very doable. Has a PhD in applied mathematics and electrical engineering, enough said.
Easy going guy, tries to help you if you put in the slightest bbit of effort. I'm good in math so this class was too easy.but even if you're not if you make it seem like you are trying he'll work with you and you wont fail. you really have to be trying to fail to fail his class.
very nice man, tries really hard for you to understand what he is doing. you definitely have to put your part in order to understand this class, math isn't easy but this professor gives it all he has to try to make you understand. he is willing to stay after to help all students excel you have to want it.
Professor Drucker uses humour to get students to relax and to make math less terrorfing.
This professor is one of the best in Gateway. He is very hilarious and funny. He uses his humor to make students understand math even if its the hardest subject to understand for some students. Math is my favorite subject, so i didn't have much trouble. I took him for the summer semester for 175. he is a MUST TAKE!!!
He is good teacher
Works with you to understand material. Very understanding
very nice guy strong accent but very willing to help. always willing to stay after and will help if you ask and even if you dont dare to ask he knows the "confusion" face he will come up to you and ask.
Great Professor, as long as you have the will to learn and try your hardest you will pass the class! I would take this class again in a heartbeat!!!
Great Professor, as long as you have the will to learn and try your hardest you will pass the class! If you struggle with math he is the professor for you.
He is a really chill, down to earth teacher, he will help you out as long as you show interest in the class. Very easy and i would recommend him.
Professor Drucker was really helpful. I'm not very good in math but he was able to clarify things I did not understand. He was an amazing professor who was always willing to help his students. I would definitely recommend him.
Mr. Rucker was a great teacher. He is funny and makes the class fun. Not a lot of test, but he knows if you r doing your part! Once u get used of his accent, his class is great.
Great professor, and works hard for you to understand and pass!!
Professor Drucker gives quick lectures and gives plenty of time to work on problems in class. He makes himself available to students who need help. He also encourages those who need to work together to do so. He also allows students to leave after lecture if they do not need any help. He expects students to show up to class regularly!
Professor Drucker is really good at what he is doing. And amazing professor , don't be fooled by his accent and the extra time he gives to complete work, he knows when you don't understand. just listen and pay attention as he begins his lesson. There for you and knows when you not doing his work.
He has issues when helping the students. I haven't recieved help all semester from him and he does not explain thoroughly. He is a tough grader and I do not reccommend taking his class. I have had nothing but problems with him. He has told me he doesn't know what to do when I asked him for help. He's a professor. That's what he is there for.
Professor Drucker is a great professor. Once you adjust to his accent it's a breeze. His lectures are short and gives a ton of time to do class work, where you can work with him one on one if you're not clear on something. Not many tests. As long as you do the work assigned you'll do fine! He doesn't always check homework but he KNOWS who does it!
Fantastic teacher! wants to make sure everyone passes and will go out of his way to make sure you pass! very helpful! if u have a question he will answer it so you understand. gives plenty of time for classwork and is a great communicator (After u learn his accent). Overall fantastic Math Teacher!
He's very very reasonable.
He's a good teacher. Great guy
Professor Drucker is one of the best professors in Gateway. He's always willing to help students who don't understand. Once you listen in class and do the homework the tests aren't hard at all! He gives time to do the class work and helps everyone. He's also a very funny guy. I recommend him to any student who has a hard time with Math!
Mr Drucker honestly does all he can to help every student pass his classes. There is a language barrier sometimes but he tries his best and this is a college course so in order to pass math you need to study at home and read chapters ahead of time. I would recommend him.
Dr. Drucker is a great teacher. When you are able to get over his accent and learn his way of teaching, he's always willing to sit down and explain everything one on one. Assigns a lot of homework but if you understand material doesn't expect all of it done.
Really he's one of the best professors 've ever seen
Great class to take over the summer. Does have a heavy accent but if you can get passed that you will be fine. Heavy on homework!!!! Would highly recommend this class.
Took this course as a summer class and a requirement for another college. It was extremely fast paced. You have to be willing to ask questions and sort of teach yourself by repetition. I did what I had to do to get it done. If you miss class you will miss the concepts. Nice guy, however his heavy accent makes it hard to understand at times.
Nice guy likes to joke around. He is willing to go the extra mile to help out students and never degrades anyone.
Professor Drucker is a great professor. This is my second class with him. As long as you show up and put in the work and effort he will help you as much as he can. He gives few test and is awesome!! Show you are trying and you are golden in his class!!
Dr. Drucker is an AMAZING professor he just asks that you show that you care and that you are willing to work and learn. If you show him that you care he is very willing to help you and to give you some extra credit points. However, if you don't show him that you care he feels his hands are tied and has a harder time helping bump up your grade.
Very good instructor who focuses on giving knowledge and ability in mathematics.
appreciates positive class enviroment
Mr. Drucker is a very caring Professor that takes the time to meet with his students one-on-one each class if possible. I never felt as if I was unable to reach him as he was very accessible to all of the students in my class. His has a great sense of humor, and tries his best to make the class fun and inviting.
He is a great professor!!! Can be alittle hard to understand because of his heavy accent. After each Lesson will ask each student if they need help. Wants his students to pass. Attendance Is mandatory!!! Highly recommended!!!!
Great professor. People who need to take college algebra and trigonometry, he knows his stuff and he grades easy, do good on your first two test you will be fine.
Great professor. always welling to help you understand what he taught in class that day.
One of the best things about Professor Drucker is his genuine interest in his students ability to pass his class. He makes very clear that he is here to help and is very accessible to his students. Throughout class time he will take out time to help each student one on one. You must show up to class! His one on one teaching style requires it.
Great Professor. He does a solid job explaining math concepts and works independently with students during class work to ensure everyone is following. Pay attention in class and do the homework to pass as he goes through material at a fast but reasonable rate.
Professor Drucker was vey professional, easy to approach and very helpful. He was very knowledgeable, conveyed information so that it was understandable . he also have a sense of humor. He was one of the best professors I have had.
awesome
If you have a question don't be afraid to ask. Homework and classwork is imperative if you don't understand a section/chapter.
Professor Drucker is funny, easy going, and wants to help you succeed! He works one on one with students to ensure they get the individualized help needed. You must do your duty as a student to do well!! Do the homework and take advantage of class time and itll do wonders. I would love if more teachers were like him! Great teacher and person.
Outgoing, Honest, and professional. Do the work and you'll do fine.
Professor Drucker is a great teacher who's there to help you with anything you don't understand. If you get passed his accent you will do great, he has a great sense of humor, the teacher will give you everything you need to pass and help you in every step of the way. I would gladly take his class again. Take him !!! you won't regret it!!!
Professor Drucker was a good teacher. He helped anyone that had questions and would stay after if asked. However, his way of teaching is not the best. Many of the students complained that we "taught ourselves" the chapters, and I agree. Does not give much time to a chapter but instead makes you work on it alone
Professor Drucker is an excellent professor. I took him for Ma137 and he was sensational. Very good teacher with a sense of humor. If you complete the work and pay attention you will pass. Professor Drucker wants everyone to pass, he is very understanding. Highly recommend him for Ma137 or ant Math class.
I really enjoyed taking this class with professor Drucker. I definitely recommend him to anyone even if you struggle with math. He goes above and beyond to make sure each student understand. I had extra stress with moving in my personal life and he still enabled me to learn the material. He is great!!
Very easy to understand
Awesome Professor! He has an awesome sense of humor, and is really easy to work with. He helps out a lot with questions. He has a pretty thick accent but if you listen youll understand. He doesnt do much in class, you just work on homework and he helps you. Only 3 tests for the year and he helps you if youre confused. Easy grader. Favorite!!
He is the worst.
VERY heavy Russian accent, hard to understand him most of the time. He is a good teacher, if you ask for help he will help you, but I had to learn most of the material on my own. He heavily relies on ALEKS for homework, but his teachings in class do not always line up with ALEKS and that makes things confusing. Had 3 tests and a final, not bad.
he is a very caring and nice professor. His accent is heavy but he tries to understand. It is important to come to class for the attendance but he won't question you if you don't show. He doesn't go by aleks which is confusing but if you need help with it or have any questions about anything always ask, asking questions helps a lot in this class.
Mr. Drucker is a GREAT professor who cares that you understand the Math he is teaching.
Drucker, really wants his students to pass his class. He asks all the time if you need help. He will sit one on one with you. He does give you freedom to learn, but is willing to help when ever and explain the problem.
Amazing professor who always wants to help you understand the material. He truly cares about you passing his class. Participation is important, however he wouldnt question if you dont show up for a class or two. Also willing to be lenient with Aleks. Book work isnt mandatory but he gave me extra credit for doing some pages.
Prof. Drucker is a gentleman and an instructor. His only interest is to provide a clear path to learning in whatever math course you may be engaged in. He is quite intelligent and provides students with tools needed not only for success in terms of a grade, but the more important virtue of comprehension of the material. His only request,be engaged
Drucker was a great professor that wants his students to pass and is willing to help his students. Over all a great professor and helpful class
In past classes in math I never do well on the tests because I do heavily rely on the professor in class to do it as we go along, but with drucker the classes are more do it yourself and he will assist you and help you learn when struggling, this method works for tests because I have never learned so much in a class and felt confident, a great man!
At the beginning of each class he would stand in the front and barely explain how to do the math topic for the day and then he would sit down and watch us do our online work. The entire class would leave 45+ mins early because everyone would just sit in silence and do online work. He would get annoyed if you asked him to explain things & be rude.
Prof. Drucker is wonderful. He has a strong accent but don't let that discourage you, he really wants everyone to learn and pass. He goes above and beyond to help students. He encourages students to ask questions especially if they don't understand the math. I would def take him again.
awful class and professor was no helpi taught myself everything
Mr. Drucker is a very caring teacher who wants the best for his students. he is super understanding when you have questions or difficulties and his class was not hard. I would defiantly take him again!
Professor Drucker is very nice and understanding. Lecture was a 5-10 min power point and then quietly working on ALEKS for the remainder of the class. If you have questions you will be told to get a tutor. If you prefer to teach yourself this is the class for you. I am lucky that I caught on quickly!!
