Professor Drucker is a great guy! I was nervous to take this class because I have a hard time with Math.Professor Drucker made it very clear and understandable plus he is always willing to work one on one with you until you get it. As long as you study and keep up with the homework, you'll do fine.I highly recommend taking math with him!

Other than being nice... he is good to get you an easy grade but as for answering your questions if having some math problems, he doesn't comprehend very well and assumes that you should know everything when he didn't cover it.Overall he is great but if you don't understand something, go to math lab tutor.

Professor Drucker is really helpful, and is always willing to help us if we do not understand something. Professors can only help so much, you have to do the work and train yourself using the book and my math lab, because you cannot expect to learn this stuff from attending class alone. Do your work and study, and you will be rewarded.

Professor Drucker is really kind, and he is always willing to help us if we do not understand something. You have to understand though, that you have to train yourself in order to be able to do the problems on your own during exams. He will help, but you have to put in the effort as well. Do your homework and my math lab, and you'll be rewarded.

As long as you're willing to do your part Proff. Drucker is more than willing to help you. There's a lot of book work and very few tests. If you ever need help do not hesitate to ask because he will do everything he can to make things more clear for you. While it is an easy class, don't expect to just coast through the class. effort is needed.

Professor Drucker is very fair. If you want to do well, you will. If you are strong in Math, then homework is optional. But, if you are weak, you must do homework and MYMATHLAB in order for him to meet you in the middle(and shockingly homework helps you learn!). He also has an amazing story of emigrating from Ukraine which is inspiring.

Prof Drucker is a good professor. He's available at least 30 minutes before class to work with students who need extra help. This class is not for those who can only do basic math. In order to succeed you HAVE to do the work and study. You have to at least dedicate 1 hour 1/2 to study per day. The 2 hours per week lab hours aren't enough.
