Great teacher. Cares about his students. Creative teaching makes students want to learn even if you don't like math. Complete all the assignments and be prepared to answer his questions. Gives a large assignment in the beginning of the course, but gives you plenty of time to complete. Also avialable for help.

Math can be a very boring subject (statistics, probability, calculus). Mr. Teats has the rare gift to teach to the level of his students, without talking down to them. The class was challenging (lot of work to do), but his grading was fair. Too bad it's my last class (I'm graduating in May), I'd take him again in a second.

GREAT CLASS! Mr. Teats is the reason students succeed in math! He REALLY knows how to teach and cares that his students "get-it". Uses real life examples and doesn't rely solely on dry textbook approaches. Lots of assignments but necessary to understand concepts. This is one professor who deserves a gold star for his teaching skill and dedication!

I was terrified of failing at first. Math was not my strong point in high school as far as grades went. Teats drags you in with warmth from the first lesson, and even if you're half asleep, you stay awake just for those corny jokes he makes. Also, he's great help for after class questions and rewards honest efforts with decent fair slack if needed.

Mr. Teats is a great Math professor. He keeps class interesting with little jokes and funny comments. He hardly uses the book, which isn't too bad. Each week there is a handout to follow with examples, which help with the homework and test (which are take home). Easy to get an A, but some work is obviously required to do so.

Professor Teats is the guy you want to take if you need Math at WU. The guy has the rare ability to actually TEACH mathematics, and does so in a manner that you really are able to grasp the concepts. He does give a fair amount of work, but such is necessary in a math course. He is always willing to help before/after class and is extremely helpful.
