I would have never thought that for me an online math course would be more interesting than a classroom. The way Proffesor Rothaug teach this course makes it understandable and knowledgeable.

He is usually willing to answer whatever questions you may have about the subject. As long as you pay attention to the work, the quizzes and tests are very simple and manageable.

Honestly, I did not find the course to be as difficult as other students say. It is each week that you need to log in to the math portal twice and finish your homework which has unlimited attempts and amazing explanations!! At the end of the week, you will have an Exam based on the homework for the week. It cannot get easier 2 Attempts on the Exam.

I took Professor Rothaug's online course this summer. His emails were always fun to read and I can tell he's a great teacher who loves mathematics. The course load may seem like a lot if you are working or doing other things, but if you manage your time well you should be fine. None of the assignments are too difficult as long as you prepare.

You get what you put into this course. Stay on top of your work. The workload may look overwhelming at first but it isn't. TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS. START A WEEK BEFORE!

Be prepared to participate in forums. Writing assignments and forums are worth 24% of your grade. Homework is due twice a week. The good thing is you can re-take your test if you're not satisfied with your grade. Overall an interesting course, especially if you're interested in mathematicians from the past.

Mr. Rothaug made it a very easy and manageable online math class! In my case, it was my first online math class and it was honestly super easy to follow for tests, homework assignments and the way he grades every week. I would recommend for anyone who needs to take an online class to have it done with this professor!

No hyperbole, worst teacher Ive ever had. Saw this guy had a 3.5 on here when I enrolled for a summer course he taught ... that rating was way, waaay off. Mightve been a good teacher at one point, but he spends HOURS of class on one or two problems, is PAINFULLY slow, doesnt answer questions and on occasion got his own problems wrong!

He doesnt care. He is disorganized with the work on moodle and gets distracted very easily while teaching. Mostly you have to teach yourself because he can not teach effectively.
