Required for class credit
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. Particpatin is required and the math testes are not easy,but this has been the best math Class I have taken thus far.
This professor was okay. I took my class online and it wasnt as bad as expected. It was a bit more work but he was fair in his grading and timely in responding to emails. Would take again.
It was a good class, and the only thing I would change is the amount of forums.
He is a very tough grader and you have to work hard to pass the course . It is not easy at all . Overall it was an okay experience and it was an online class . If you are looking to take this class just prepare yourself.
Can't really complain about the professor
For an online class, there was the usual expected amount of work given. There are a lot of forums, but it is pretty easy to do once you read the articles that are given. Professor is good at responding on time to emails and is very helpful. I would take another one of his classes! Take him, you won't regret it!
He does lots of reading along with discussions. I would take him again if I could! The tests are fairly easy. Since it's an online class you have to teach yourself the material. Awesome professor and he's quick to answer all of your emails and can help you if you are falling behind
For an online class he definitely makes you put in work. Great with communication and always willing to work with you. You will definitely need to plan out your other coursework and try not to overwhelm yourself. The work is not always easy but he gives you everything you need to complete the course so don't worry.
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. He is willing to slightly delay due dates for tests that some students that may fall behind on. Even though I dislike math, his class has taught me to appreciate it.
Enjoyed taking his online class. He returns emails right away and is very understanding. I would recommend this professor.
Great professor, very understanding but you must do all of your work on time !
This math class was alittle difficult for me to get through, because it isn't really math there were more word problems and logical aspects to the class than I thought there was going to be. I loved that it was online which made it easy for a full time worker and busy person like me.
You have homework every week but he posts assignments ahead of time so that you can plan your week accordingly if you have other classes or a full time job like myself. Its pretty easy work but you have to teach yourself if you take the online class. A lot of readings and discussion forums. Definitely would take him again!
This professor helped when needed. I would take him again, fair grading system.
This was my last math course i had to take before graduating, im glad i took this professor he was very passionate about what he was teaching and the work load was not to much
Amazing teacher do all your work and you will pass. Don't do your work and you will fail. But, if you study properly you should do fine.
Lots of reading, discussions and writing assignments in addition to the regular homework and tests. Usually gives a few extra days to get tests done. Replies quickly and thoroughly to emails. most of the writing assignments seem like "busy work". Course load heavy but if you keep on top of things you will pass.
Just get ready to read A LOT, do discussion, writing papers, having test every week, etc. That's all I have to say.
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.
This was an online class. There was lots of homework but nothing I couldn't manage. There is a chapter test most weekends due on Sunday (sometimes he extends it to Tuesday). The professor seems really funny and I would take him again!
I took an online class. Was a lot of work between the online videos and the reading, but he will also be extending the due date from Sunday to Tuesday. If you are well organized with your time, then this class should not be a problem.
If you do the work you'll pass.
Great professor for contemporary math. Besides learning the online math I learned a lot about the lives of some mathematicians and why and how they do what they do Great course.
Gives lots of homework, and maybe like 4 tests, okay grader would take again!!
There was a decent amount of work and tests for this class. However, the material was difficult to deal with. The concepts were well covered in the PowerPoints and the class videos. The tests were related to the homework assignments. However, I didn't understand the purpose of the Discussion boards.
Weekly tests due Sundays from homeworks done that week. 4 homeworks a week. Great feedback from professor. Agree, just as long as you dont slack off and complete the homework, test, and forums you should pass this class. Oh, 2 films to watch & answer questions about the films. No book need, power points provided. Would take his class again.
I really hate math but really enjoyed this class. Not bad, weekly test due every Sunday and a couple discussion posts. Any questions you have can be answered in the PPT or the math portal. PPTs are really clear and give you the information you need. I would definitely take this professor again!
I am not a fan of math and never liked it however, this course was interesting and fun. The professor made sure Students were on track with their work and encourages to ask question and think outside the box. I would recommend this class to my friends.
Class was fairly easy! As with all online classes, be sure to be on top of your homework and your motivation. CHECK MOODLE AND EMAILS EVERYDAY!!!
There is a lot of homework, you usually have three assignments due one day and then two days later have two more. The lessons are easy to understand but the forums are hard. I couldn't really understand them and I don't know why we had to read articles and write discussions every week.
Professor Rothaug is very fair and specific. He wants you to understand the material in the course and pass. If you have any questions and email him, he gets back to you the same day. He sends reminders out for his exams and homework due. He tells you everything that needs to be done in advance, there are no surprises. I learned a lot in this class
It is a useful course for self-study. However there is a bit too much writing for a math class. If thinking positively it is a good course to improve math and critical thinking.
The online class wasn't too bad. Two major papers that were only like 3 pages each. The only hard thing about the class was that it was very homework heavy. I was doing homework every night for this class which normally I don't have to.
I took the class online, overall it was a decent class. He extended some due dates which was nice of him. There is a discussion, homework and a test every week and two major writing assignments. Workload on some weeks were heavier than others, keep up and you'll pass.
Good professor, at least better than most. Definitely recommend if you struggle with math the way I do. I didn't appreciate that he didn't grade certain written assignments he made us do, other than that he's pretty fair with the way he grades things.
Great Professor! Always answers emails and extends tests when needed. I took this class online and it was pretty easy. There is a good amount of homework so pace yourself.
Be prepared to spend hours doing homework. The course is very intense, but its a Math course so you could not expect something different.
The way I describe Rothaug is that he's a good teacher and is pretty reasonable with his students which I greatly respect him for that. When I dealt with the problem with tests, he was kind enough to give me 99 additional minutes to work on the tests which I'm very grateful for him doing that. Rothaug is a smart, clear spoken, and flexible man.
I took this class online and I think the professor was great. You emailed him with any questions or concerns and he got back to you to help. The course itself being online was not very easy, I did practically have to live in the tutoring center but overall great professor. If you need to take this class though, I would encourage taking it in person
Took the online contemporary course to help balance work and school. Thought it would be easier to take online but was sadly mistaken. You learn a chapter each week and are tested on the material by the end of that week. There are weekly forums in moodle that must be completed to receive credit. This class is difficult for those who work.
Prof. Rothaug is a great teacher but he does give a lot of reading for a math class and theres a midterm paper and final paper but he really tries to help you as best as he can and gives you extra credit.
My professor was straight to the point. He make sure he used things that we would eventually use in the future.
Very nice and understanding.
I hate math, but he gives enough reading and papers for extra credit. There's a lot of Forum , so make sure you do them. It helps your grade. I would take him again.
I took this class online because I suck at math and I figured if I do it online I can take my time and do the work at my own speed and have my boyfriend or brother help me. The math is math you dont really use in real life but If you do the hw and the test along with a few online discussions you will pass the class. The online discussions saved me.
I took this course to fulfill a mathematics requirement. The professor is a nice person, and he is checks his emails often, so you can easily contact him if there is an issue. I would take this class again because although there were many tests and homework assignments, it was not too difficult of a course at all.
Very fair grader
Lots of homework! Gives chances to retake but not an easy class of math isnt your strongest subject.
Amazing professor, do all your homework and study hard for his exams and you should be fine. Easy professor willing to work with his students and show understanding to his students. Math 130 was easy only if you put in the work.
Taking this course online was some what difficult due to the multiple sites used to complete work.
Be prepared, there is A LOT of homework. Tests every week, but you are able to take the tests ONLY if you finish 70% of your homework. Lots of reading as well. But overall not bad for a Math class.
Great professor, this class was a little hard for those who work a lot but I was fine. I liked extended due dates and some extra credit options that can really help at the end. Overall, I could take this class again.
if you do your homework, you will be fine in this course. It is not too bad. Just make sure to hand in all assignments, do all the forums posts and the essays. If you do that, you'll be sure to get a good grade!
There is a lot of homework and a lot of reading. If you take time to do your homework, then you'll do well in this class. I highly recommend Dr. Rothaug.
Don't take this class! DO NOT!. He wil make you work hard, test every sunday, and lots of work.
Took contemporary math online. The usual amount of work for online plus there were also discussions, an essay, and movie questions.
I took this class online. Dr. Rothaug is a great math professor, his online notes were great and understanding, he always response to your email. This class had a good amount of Homework and Tests. Was it a hard class? If you willing to do your homework, read and pay attention, my answer is NO. Personally, this was the best ONLINE class I ever TOOK
Homework mostly due twice a week, followed by a test. Multiple attempts to solve all homework questions, which makes it easier to get full grade. Work load more than a traditional class. Overall, best Math course I ever took.
A great class, he tells you exactly what you need to do and replies quickly to any questions you may have. Interesting topics and essays, I learned a lot. Would recommend.
My online experience was an okay one. He had all the assignments up and ready at the very start of the semester so we could keep track of when everything was do. We used persons was the usual math work, but we also had some forums to do through moodle. It was definitely a different type of math experience and the math is hard but a good class.
Being that the math course is online, it was a lot of independent reading and learning. But, he always answered emails, as well as, extending test days 90% of the time. He's an understanding professor, especially with knowing holidays and such get the best of us. PLUS HE SENDS THE CUTEST, FUNNIEST EMAILS! Like they made my week all semester!
What I think f Professor Rothaug is that his course has caused me to open up my mind to the bigger picture of Mathematics and allowing me to see the philosophical aspect of math. I saw Rothaug as an inspiration tp help students push themselves to do better in their research. I would consider Rothaug a fair and considerate teacher.
A lot of homework. Flexibility in homework due dates, but not tests. Would of like some more organization and clearer communication. Either didn't respond to emails or took several weeks to answer me. That being said, there were points in time where I didn't know what was due. A clearer syllabus with due dates would be ideal.
I struggled with contemporary math (did it online) but Prof Rothaug was a great teacher, gave clear instructions and answered questions in a timely manner! I ended up getting an A even though this class was not easy at all for me! I would take it again
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF! He talks the entire length of the class and doesn't follow a syllabus. Tests are extremely hard and he doesn't work with you to help improve your grade.
Always quick to respond. Work was challenging but interesting. I liked the course a lot!
The class was very interesting. I think posting for a math class makes it very difficult to get everything done. There was no feed back on posts and limited feedback on the paper. I don't necessarily feel the grading in these areas was fair. I did actually enjoy the two ending films.
Professor Rothaug was fine. The syllabus was clear. The papers assigned were interesting and the movies at the end were good. The class did make me think about math differently. Complaints: little feedback was given for required papers - you receive a grade, but no reason for the grade. Responses to emails not always timely.
the class was online. be ready to learn new cool things.
The homework is every week and the test is done at the end of the week. If you study homework well and study, you will be able to do the test. In the middle, you should read your post and use essay (2-3pg) and give feedback to your friends. Many mathematicians will learn from the article, and there will be many new ideas about mathematics.
Took Math130 Summer course. Clear syllabus / deadlines for work all outlined on moodle. Interesting math related readings/ films to write about. A concise and good course to take if you are looking to meet a math requirement. Normal work load for time frame. If you watch all required videos/lessons and participate in all forums, A or B very likely.
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.
I took his online MAT 130 class this summer. I SUCKKKK at math and have never gotten higher than a C in math until I took this online course. Reading and writing aren't difficult. 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!
Very understand and wants to see his students succeed!
This coarse was a great coarse I chose to finish my math credits. For the most part it wasn't the easiest class but definitely not the most difficult. It was very convenient being only online for me because I work full-time and not commuting to school was nice.
Great professor. Math is not my favorite but his discussions made it a lot more interesting. Weekly home and test that you get two attempts at - it really helped! The workload seems like a lot but as long as you follow the due dates the course flies by.
good challenging class
a lot of homework but its generally easy doesn't answer questions whatsoever
Im not the best at math, but it was not to bad. I took the course online. There were other opportunities(assignments) besides the typical math tests and homework problems to contribute to your final grade which helps if you aren't the best at math or taking tests.
It was my first taking online classes. At the begging I felt lost but now I feel that math gave some powerful skill to knowledge to solve problems. Reinforced my logical reasoning against emotional thoughts. So it was challenged for me.
Professor Rothaug was a great online Professor. He was very clear with the assignments and with the due dates. He worked well with the pearson website, where all of our work was posted. Also, the powerpoints and notes that he posted were very helpful. I was fond of Professor Rothaug and I recommend him to other students.
The class was good. I was scared to take an online course, but Professor Rothaug makes things clear. The class used moodle and MyMathLab. The course was consistent.
I took this course online while working full time so it was very work heavy, you need to stay on top of your work! Other than that the course is fairly okay, not too easy but not too difficult, if you stay on your work load and use time management this course should be fine!
Great professor with good material that gets you interested in the subject. Clear instructions and even though it may seem like a lot of homework through mathlab is manageable and easy to understand. I recommend!
In his online Contemporary course he did a great job communicating with students. His emails are funny sometimes. Caring, and gives you enough time to complete your assignments. Very good teacher. Would take again if I could and I would recommend him.
i am not a big fan of math but he made it so easy and was always willing to help out when i asked for help. if i had to take another math class i will definitely take him again.
Have to get familiar with MyMathLab. A lot of homework and very test-heavy, but if you do well you can pass. The tests are about 70% of your grade and can be very hard. Not an easy A kind of class.
Professor Rothaug is a very nice guy. He is positive and you can tell that he is passionate about his craft. There is a lot of work that is slightly time consuming. Being that this is an online course, it is very important to do everything by the due dates. As long as you do all of your assignments, you will do just fine! I would take him again!
Dr. Rothaug, is a great guy. He is understanding and fair and as long as you do the work expected and stay on task you will do well in this class. He was very funny in his emails and a very nice teacher. I will definitely take him again.
He gives a lot of homework and tests. The material is difficult, so you have to play attention. Overall he works with you.
Really loved his class, everything was explained very well and very organized. I took his class online and really enjoyed it
As long as you keep up with the work it is easy to get good grades. Professor Rothaug is super fair and gives more than enough opportunities to make sure you can get a good grade. There are two chances to take the tests as long as attempted before the due date and will even give opportunity to take the tests once for a short period after due date.
Dr. Walter Rothaug's online class is very organized and i really enjoyed the class, i had to work for my grade. Hard works pays off. He is very lenient & i would definitely take this class again!
He gives a big work load for an online class, this was my last class needed to graduate and I chose online to have more freedom with work. The workload was ok however the papers got overwhelming. Great information though, if you like math and how math applies to real-life, take this class. Get ready to read & write!
In my opinion, assigned too many papers, forums, at so little time. Also did not give much feedback on the written assignments. Some of the articles were difficult to read.
Definitely different from any other math class Ive had. It was interesting and it not only taught you about the logic way to think it made you think outside the box. If you follow each section and communicate with the other students on moodle you will do fine. I had a hard time with my moodle account and because of that I started late.
I took his course online. It was not his fault I found this course so difficult, but the material which is required on the online textbook. I dreaded each assignment and the tests, because I was so unsure whether I was going to pick up the information or not. This class will make or break you. Did not receive more than a B on any test.
Professor Rothaug always was super cool with his e-mails and very understanding Professor.
Dr. Rothaug's online class was one of the best organized online class I've taken. He is very reasonable and gives you plenty of opportunities to earn a higher grade in the class. Very reasonable professor and will surely reccommend!
A solid professor who is flexible - recommend to others.
This was an online course, different from other math courses but I enjoyed it. It helps that Professor Rothaug is very organized. Chapter tests, one paper, and a few discussions. He truly cares about his students as he gives opportunities to improve their grades. Would recommend!
awesome professor the best I have ever had for math.
Professor Rothaug makes math fun and his assignments actually carry lots of information regarding the history of mathermatics. Overall, a great experience taking this class online.
One of the best math teachers i have ever had. His class is really interesting unlike other math professors I've taken in the past. He's a very fair teacher, only thing i did not enjoy about the class was the amount of homework. Aside from that a real gem of a math teacher.
Contemp Math is a tough course, but Pearson is actually helpful when it comes to learning. It was an online class and learning the material is on you. You will have to sign up for Pearson, so be prepared to spend around $100 on access for the semester.
objectives are clear; a lot of homework required but HW does not have heavy weight towards final grade
Great sense of humor. Lots of homework.
Took his online class. He's very straightforward about what is expected. Had about 8 tests to take, usually once a week, with a whole chapter of homework to do before you were able to take it. Great professor, but you have to work for your grade.
It is not an easy A. Need to prepare for reading and writing about mathematics every week. But the lecture he gave us was clear and helpful.
This was the first professor who actually took the time to send weekly emails to reach out with information and what was coming up that was due. Since this was an online course, these emails made me believe this Professor cared and was readily available if I had any questions.
By far the SLOWEST instructure ever. I understand hes quite old but the speed at which he talks and teaches is unacceptably slow. Currently 5 weeks away from the end of the semester and we had a total of 4 assignments and he hasnt even graded them all yet. Lectures are terrible and dont give enough info for questions on tests
Overall, this class was challenging, but Professor Rothaug made math fun. There is a lot of homework, but you can keep trying until you get a good grade. Also, the tests, do reflect the homework questions, so make sure you do the homework. There are some papers in this course, but they are simple. Put your mind to the work, and you will get an A
I took this course for my last semester at Bergen. Needless to say, if you want an easy A, you're picking the wrong choice. This course is pretty hard if you do not like math. Overall, the professor is very kind and emails you pretty funny material at the end of the week. Tests and homework every week, but quite difficult.
For this course you use my math lab and have an exam due weekly. You can't take the exam until you have completed the homework for the chapter with a 70% or higher. You also will have discussion forums and papers. It is not an easy A and there is a lot of work however I found this online course to be much better than an in person math class .
You will not only learn math, you will also understand how math influences our life. Each chapter has homework and test due end of each week. Discussion topics are incredibly instructive.
The class overall is not an easy course. You need to put in the work in order to receive a good grade. Be ready to actually study and get work done. No textbook needed but mymathlab is used. Need a 70% higher on homework in order to take exams. Overall good course.
good course
It was an online class, but we needed to have the lessons and tests done by a certain date. We were allowed 2 attempts at each chapter test as long as it was still before the due date. There were a lot of reading assignments to count as participation. We would have to read the papers/articles then discuss in a forum and answer to at least 3 people.
I have been able to cultivate various perspectives on the subject matter through this subject. In particular, I think the professor's assignments and forums are enough to arouse interest in modern mathematics. I would strongly recommend this subject for those who is not interested in math.
He's really a great teacher, and seems as though he truly cares about helping students get a good grade. It's good to see a professor who actually cares about their students!
He is a good professor overall. All homework and tests are due on mymathlab. Very lenient with due dates, he will extend a few days. The only thing I did not enjoy was the weekly discussions. The articles were so long. We had to do two papers on movies. I feel that he could do away with the discussions and papers for a math class.
This was a good class, Professor always allowed an extra day after test were due to complete the test. If for some reason you needed extra time you can send him a email explaining your situation and he would be very understanding. only thing I did not enjoy was the article readings and the 3 videos we had to watch were boring
Weekly tests, forums, two writing assignments. The writing assignments are somewhat related to philosophy it seems and require abstract thinking but if you do the work as assigned each week, youll be fine. Also professor drops the lowest test grade.
took as an online course, heavy work load but very understanding and was willing to help. very nice professor, would definitely recommend if taking an online math course.
While the bulk of the content for the class is through mypearson, Mr. Rothaug provided assignments that made the student view mathematics at a different perspective. I have to say that as a result of taking this class, I have a newfound appreciation for math.
Class overall was very clear in what needed to get done. Straight forward assignments/exams. The only issue I had with his class was that homework-wise, it was a lot to get done in a week and then the exam by the end of the week too. Would have been nice if gave a little extra time. Not an easy class if you have a full-time job or a lot of classes.
Dr Rothaug is a great professor. I would definitely recommend taking him. He is a fair grader and he makes sure you are prepared. He also sends out weekly reminders and emails for assignments due.
Took this class online would recommend 8/10. Tests & Homework are on MyMathLab. Tests are due by the end of the week (Sunday). Tests are a little difficult but you do have 2 attempts. Dr. Rothaug also assigns forms but they do not show up on Moodle when its posted so you have to stay on top of that. Other than that I would recommend.
He's a fair dude, Lots of work on My Math Lab plus weekly forums of discussion.
This professor was great. I had him for Math 130 Online course for the spring semester of 2019. There was a lot of homework and the exams were difficult but if you manage your time you will pass. Tutoring is definitely needed if people are not good at math like I am. I strongly encourage people to use tutoring for this course.
The Pearson math module used for the course was horrible. It wasnt as explanatory as it should have been given the course is an online class and you dont have a chance to interact with a teacher face-to-face. The professor also assigned a lot of reading and writing, which I felt was a little too much since there were so many Math modules to do
The course can get difficult if you don't pace yourself. The material was very interesting to read and did make me look at math in a knew light. Would recommend if you are tired overdoing "traditional" mathematics. I recommend most of my friends to take it if they are looking for something different.
I took online class professor uses my math lab + modle essays. You can track your progress from my mathlab. Dont forget to look at the modle, i didn't know there was homeworks on modle so my grade went down a lot. But this was my fault.
A lot of in depth discussion that helped learning
This class was definitely NOT what I expected. If youre not a math lover like me, you wont like it simply because of the math, but overall the class was not difficult. The professor is wonderful and he replies promptly to emails. His work is all straight forward and you really just need to practice practice practice in order to pass.
Do the work, and put in effort and you'll pass. Even if you're not the best at it, he comes off as understanding and gives opportunity for extra credit.
It was a hard class but managable if you stay on top of assignments. The professor sent out reminder emails every week so you don't miss any assignments. Also usually gave extended time to finish assignments if you did not do so. If I had to take another math class I take him.
loved the class, assignments outside of usual tests were very stimulating
He cares about his students. Gives extra credit. Lots of HW but you will learn a lot.
very good class, A little difficult but worth it at the end.
A Fun Class, It will make you appreciate math and see it in a different light. Instead of just doing the math you will learn the history, art, and reasoning about well. This professor cares about his students. If you put in the work, you will do well.
This professor was an amazing . I took with him Math 130 its an Online course. There was a lot of homework and the exams were difficult but if you study hard you will reach the best grade.
Some sections where hard in this math. Some where okay.
Professor Rothaug is a really nice professor. I took his online course and have always struggled in math. He always gives an extra day or two to take the test if you missed it. He offers extra points by participating in forums online. He wants everyone to pass his class.
Professor Rothaug very respectful and caring. for the online class you had to do homework before accessing the test, but he usually extends the deadline for the tests giving students the chance to to improve their grades. you can easily communicate with him over email and he answers right away.
Hard class, but it was Math and I'm awful at math. Very grateful for the papers and extra forums because I don't test well and they helped me pass the class. If we were only graded on tests no way I would pass.
It was really hard for me towards the end... Probably because I am not interested in math or bad at math. Professor was good and generous for extending tests and assignments dates.
This class was really hard. If you don't test well or have trouble in math like myself you will have a very difficult time. Prof is great with extensions on certain assignments and has a great sense of humor however i wish this class was more forum based rather math-lab. This class is not what i expected.
Great professor and well organized. I took him for an online class which had a lot of homework and tests but if you work hard you would pass. He sends emails regularly and has a great sense of humor. I recommend taking this class, it is easy to understand and worth learning the course.
Professor Rothaug is a great professor, however I have trouble understanding math and could get quite frustrated. The videos in my math lab are extremely helpful though, but you do have to take your time understanding the material. The only thing I would say is I wish we had a little more time on the tests.
I took his strictly online class so I've never actually met him, but from his emails, he seems pretty nice. He gave leniency for all of the tests and assignments, and the two essays were on movies so those were enjoyable.
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.
Good class- just make sure to stay on top of the work load otherwise is going to be overwhelming. Professor sends bunch of funny emails
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!
For an online teacher, provided amazing, easy to understand lectures and was easy to get in touch with when needed. Overall, gave me great online class experience and better understanding of math. (Serena Campagna)
I took the online course, so I've never actually met him, however based off of the emails, he seems like a nice guy. He makes his criteria pretty clear and the assignments are not the easiest out there, so do them as soon as possible and don't slack to give yourself enough time to properly grasp the material.
If you keep up with the work you will be fine.
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!
I took Professor Rothaug for an online class and my experience was a positive one. He is very thorough and gets right to the point when it comes to assignments. Math was never my forte, so I'm glad I picked this straightforward online class to satisfy my gen ed requirement.
Overall, Professor Rothaug is an amazing teacher. Solid, lay back, and just what you are looking for in an exceptional teacher.
Good subject
Took this course online and its pretty self explanatory just do your assignments on time, pass the test and you should be fine. My only complaint is he takes a long time to grade and doesn't get back to messages.
Professor works really hard to make sure you do well. You can email him whenever and he responds very quickly. Would definitely take another class with him again.
Would take class again
Online class, it was a lot of homework, i struggled.
The class is very tedious and there is alot of homework due per week so you have to be committed. The professor gives you an opportunity for extra credit and he is caring to your needs if you show effort. Prof. Walter responds to emails and any questions and is willing to work with you.
I am in this class online and I am doing well in it. I loved that we had power points, videos, and the textbook pages accessible to us in order to teach ourselves at home a lot easier. However, he gives a lot of homework. There is homework due twice a week and a test due almost every Sunday night. It does give a lot of room to boost your grade.
Easy class if you stay up on homework and forum assignments. Only thing that could have been more clear was what was expected for the writing assignments.
Homework and tests were easy. He gave us so much more unnecessary work on top of it though, and these assignments counted as a big chunk of our grade.
Content and forum material/questions were very good. Really got you to think about mathematics on a deeper level. Course material was challenging and required a lot of work/practice.
This class was good. I was confused about where to find communications. At the end tests became harder.
There is a lot of math lab required for this course. I took the online version so there was something due every Sunday. Fair grader, gives a lot of work but grades it fairly. He is also generous in giving a second chance on a test you did poorly on. Responds quickly to emails. Overall good teacher.
He doesn't care about his students.
This class is very challenging and demanding. Every day, I was studying 2 to 3 hours. I would not have been able to take another class while taking this math class, working and having kids.
The class was great but he was very demanding.
Took his online class for MAT-130 and basically you self teach yourself everything. If you do all the work you should be fine. Tests every week there is tons of homework. The forums are annoying even though you think you did good on the forums he grades low there. But if you do good on the tests you should be fine. Nothing to worry about no regrets
lots of homework... if you can't handle it, do not take it.
It can be hard to keep up with the due dates expecially towards the end but overall it was a good challenging course.
Professor Rothaug was great! He uses humor in all his emails to the class. Most of the homework and tests, were taken in mymathlab. If you didn't take a test by the due date, he gives you an extra day to complete. Overall, you just have to keep up with all the homework, forums and tests in order to pass the class.
I liked the fact that this professor gave us extra time to hand in assignments and allowed us one do over for one bad grade
Interesting Class! Definitely need to put time into the course. Great Professor!
This was a great class, it was challenging and the pacing was good. Downsides... the grading for the the written responses seemed arbitrary and the due dates for each were confusing as they were not labeled on moodle. The professor was prompt with responding and great about reaching out to students for updates.
Math has always been a struggle for me, however this class has made me enjoy math a bit more. Professor Walter is attentive and forward, great at answering emails and also gives students the opportunity to re-do an exam! He even gives you an extra day to complete test. Overall, highly recommend. The work you put in in what you get out!
There Is a lot of work to be given, I will not lie but it he is fair, you just have to be very on top of the homework and forums.
This was a tough class for me, as I have never had a love affair with math. Tutor was a must! Math wizards, this will be a breeze for you, tutor would joke at how easy it is. Glad this is the last math class. Did my best.
There is a lot of homework and its only work 5% of your grade. And it must be at least 70% complete before you can take the test or move on to the next assignment. When he gives assignments through moodle, it's a little hard to know when he expects the assignments to be turned in. He is fair with the grading too. You will get the grade you deserve.
If you want to fail, take his class. My class has one grade the whole semester so everyone is gonna fail. And he often goes off topic. He gives homework, but doesnt check it for credit. So whats the point of homework either?
Doctor Rothaug is professional and the best! He responds to your emails very quickly and he is very understanding. I would recommend anyone to take his course because it is a guarantee pass if you put in the effort and time. He is awesome at what he does. Promise you wont regret taking him.
I took his online class and let tell you it was much work. every week there was a lot of homework and a chapter test that were hard you think you'll find the answers online you won't because he changes the questions so they are not online at all
This man, was an absolute nightmare of a professor. I could say so much. He is rude when you try to talk to him about an issue. He is painfully slow in teaching. Goes way off topic ALL the time. This was just an absolute nightmare for me but I'm glad I passed! This class isn't even hard but he makes it so difficult with how he runs class. Ugh!
He is the WORST prof I've ever taken in my whole life!!! He doesn't teach anything properly and he gives tests which are due in two days! He is INSANE!!! He takes attendance every time but he doesn't grade it, HE ONLY GRADES BY TESTS!! And he gives us homework that he never grades. He doesn't care abt students and doesn't answer our question.
Hes terrible! His lecture is painfully slow and makes you sleep. He doesnt care about students and he is rude when you mention some issues with his class. Dont take him if you wanna pass
Hes so slow and lazy. He doesnt know how to use computer and technology. He is rude too
I had to drop out of his class because of how horrible he was. Hes lazy and does not understand technology AT ALL. His lectures make you want to fall asleep. Save your time and do not take him, especially online!!
His class is terribly boring and hard to understand.n He makes you fall asleep. He is old af and doesn't know how to teach as a prof. He can't use any technology and it makes the class difficult. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS
This professor does not care about you. He assigns multiple papers through the semester which to me, for a math class, is insane. He does not answer when you reach out to him for days. When he finally does get back he's rude. Prepare to be glued to your computer because he just throws homework at you for fun. Tests weekly. Find ANYONE else
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU WANT TO LEARN AND/OR PASS. He assigns homework and tests that he never grades. He gives tests over weekends when his classes take place on weekdays. He is rude, never answers emails, and does not know how to use technology. Taking his class was a joke. Pick any other professor and you will be better off.
The worst professor at BCC. He assigned papers even though this is a math class. He spent the whole class being distracted and talking about nonsense. The worst part is not the money lost but rather the time wasted. The semester ended on December 21st and the final grades are still not posted as of December 28th.
He gives tons of homework. Something has to be submitted every 2 days for this guy. He also gives a ton of tests with time limits. Not worth it
Not an exaggeration to say that this is the worst professor at Bergen. He assigns essays IN A MATH CLASS. The tests have nothing to do with the material went over in class. He is very unprofessional with the way his class is run. It is impossible to get in touch with him via email. If you need to take a statistics class, TAKE ANY OTHER PROFESSOR.
Test were due on Thursdays and Sundays. You're homework had to be a 70% and or more to take the test. What I found mostly difficult was that the test were timed so I constantly felt rushed to finished and that affected my grade a lot. There's four discussion questions and an essay to do.
Test were due on Thursdays and Sundays. You're homework had to be a 70% and or more to take the test. What I found mostly difficult was that the test were timed so I constantly felt rushed to finished and that affected my grade a lot.. The work that you have to do on Moodle is confusing because it's not organized.
Worst Prof at Bergen do not take
He assigned a lot of work. 8 tests. At least 4-5 exercises between each test (so you're looking at over 40 homework assignments). Active participation in writing forums/papers. So far I've done 5 lengthy forum assignments and one paper. Insane amount of work. Hard to reach him. He doesn't grade quickly. I wouldn't take him again.
Professor Rothaug was tough for me because math is not my strong suit. However, I do believe he is a good professor.
It's a lot of work but it's super easy. If you can get ahead of schedule you'll do just fine. Homework twice a week and a test every week but again it's easy. Participate in the forums!
I Had absolutely no trouble with this teacher. The course is pretty self explanatory, do the assignments and take a test. You are asked to participate in a forum which gets annoying at times, but compared to other classes its really not that bad. I would totally recommend this class especially if you don't want to take pre-calculus.
Professor Rothaug showed me math in a different light. We were not only assigned math homework but discussion questions. I enjoyed the course. This professor is also caring. I was late on one assignment and he gave me a chance to attempt it for a second time.
I liked this liberal arts course, as someone who is not great at math I liked being able to submit written work for credit, it took pressure off of only being graded from math problems.
Only upside was interacting w/ other students in forum posts, those were interesting. Other than that, the most disappointing prof. I've had. So much h.w. but it accounts for only 5% of final grade. Test every Sunday. Never answers emails in timely manner, and when he does is unhelpful. Doesn't always provide weekly PPTs. Take another course.
Get ready to study if you're not great in math but overall, it was a doable course.
My experience with Professor Rothaug was not a bad one, but then again, when you learn online you usually have little to no connection with your professor. I took his Contemporary Math class and it was a lot of work, but is completely manageable with effort. You usually receive 1 chapter a week, with 5 sections, and one test. Overall 8/10
This class was one of my hardest. I pray I do not fail because I need this class in order to graduate next semester. Math is my weak point HOWEVER the professor does respond quickly. He is attentive and cares about your concerns. Cons are that papers are due in this class. This slowed me down. Also the issue that the test are timed.
The online class takes uses both math software and moodle discussions. The moodle work is easy, thought provoking, and honestly the best part of the class. The actually math work and tests aren't really hard but they're not easy either. Honestly as long as you apply yourself you'll do fine. There is a good amount of work but easily manageable.
Due dates are a little confusing and he assigns essays and discussion postings. Keep up with your work and you will be fine!
His class will make you do work but they are all manageable. If you put your effort in it will be an easy A. You will work on two different platforms: Moodle and Pearson. Have test every week. As long as you do your work you will do great.
I did not mind the class, it was online so you have to teach yourself the material. But, I did not find it too challenging, there are practice tests that are helpful as well as homework that reflects the material on the test. This online class is all about time management; set out the time, you'll do great!
Lot's of work, essays and discussions too but overall a good class! Learned a lot in this class.
I enjoyed this class. Yes, every week you have a test but the homework that is given helps a lot. I learned lots of new perspectives in math with the discussions every week.
A few forums, assignments, tests the usual. Great professor, allows extra credit.
As an online class, I really loved the way that everything was laid out and ready to be accessed. It was understandable what was due each week and I wasn't nervous about what might be next. About five homework every week, a test, and a discussion post. All in all lots of work but not too overwhelming :)
Every week was about the same amount of work with a test due every weekend, so once you get in the habit of doing all the work each week then the class becomes pretty easy and not that stressful.
glad to have been a student
get ready to do lots of tests
The class is all online and you have tests almost each week. They are much more difficult then I thought they would be but it can be done. The professor always helps when needed and answers emails quickly.
Was a difficult self taught course. Defiantly worked for it. Mostly upset with the school for not giving a good description of what the class is, that isnt on the professor. Professor answered emails in a timely manner.
This was an online class using mymathlab. He never once lectured, you have to learn on your own. The tests were done through mymathlab so he never even had to grade them. I'm not sure what he did to earn his pay. We had to read an article and give our opinion in a forum but it was never graded or provided feedback. He does not update the gradebook
I liked the class because it was on may own pace so I had finished the course practically half way through the semester but I wouldn't recommend this class to someone who doesn't have much time because every week there is a test to do alongside with homework. One thing I did not like was the articles we had to read alongside an essay..
the Professor is one of the best with him I learned many things. He is definitely the best Professor.
The material was difficult to understand in addition to little explinations.
MAKE SURE TO STAY ON TTOP OF YOUR HOMEWORK SO YOU DO NOT FALL BEHIND. PROFESSOR ROTHAUG GIVES MUCH MATERIAL AND IS HELPFUL THROUGHOUT.
Prof Rothaug was helpful and a nice professor, just get your work done on time and you'll be okay.
Teaches a math class online but doesn't know how to use technology. Assigns essays in a MATH class. Can not teach !!!!!!!
Statistics as a whole is not hard at all but taking this class with this professor made it unbearable. Professors make or break the class and he made the class way too complicated. There were too many essays assigned as this is a M A T H class. He would go off-topic at any distraction like a dog passing his house. Take a DIFFERENT professor.
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. There are documentaries and papers you have to write about which is weird since this is a math class. Choose a different teacher or you will struggle.
He is a fair professor, decent amount of work online, would take again and recommend to others.
A very nice professor, replies to email fast... recommend
This was a difficult course for the most part but I did learn some interesting things. I would certainly only take this course if you need it or love the concepts of the basics of math. It requires a lot of thinking which also requires a lot of time. Grading system is straight to the point! 1 random essay and have to study for tests. Extra cred too
Professor Rothaug is great, he responds to emails quickly, and gives good feedback. The only concern is that you must be ready for lots of homework done in MYMATHLAB, some forums on moodle and one essay. But, if you are good at time managment, you can get everything done on time. Overall a great Professor, would take him again.
Provides helpful study aids. Easy to contact
Professor Rothaug was a great teacher who encouraged me to do my best with his course. He also had a good sense of humor and helped us expand our perception of mathematics. I just wished his deadlines weren't so strict.
Great Professor and class very easy and straight to the point would take again.
Great professor. This class just consists of some discussions and Mymathlab which includes homework and tests and it makes it easier to keep yourself organized.
The professor was a little all over the place. Never answered emails. The coursework is confusing and all over the place you really have to keep up with it and understand yourself because nothing is ever explained . You do have the ability to go far ahead in the course as all your work homework and tests will be done through Pearson.
His class was very enlightening and challenging
reasonable grading, understandable, decent amount of work, interactive assignments great professor overall
We had many homework assignments on MyMathLab but with a reasonable period of time to complete them. The professor always answer my emails and was quick to do so. Overall I would consider taking the professor again!
I though this professor gave an appropriate workload of homework, quizzes and discussions, and I didn't feel very overwhelmed throughout the semester. This was an entirely online course, so the professor was involved as he could be, but all assignments and lessons were more self-taught through the MathLab.
No complaints really. Graded everything on time and presented a fair amount of work. If you study and put in the effort it's an easy pass.
He is a very chill professor. Personally, if you are doing well in class, he will give you extra time to finish off your work. its almost the end of the semester and he told us that we can retake any test we want to increase our score! i had a bad score but gratefully i was able to fix it. He is very easy, 10/10 would suggest..
The professor always gives out reviews on the assignment and explains what to do. He emails letting us know when the assignment is due and when the test is due. On each assignment he gives out he gives a lot of good explanation and direction on what to do on the assignment. The assignments and test were challenge to me, but I got good grades on it.
This class is all over the place, but if you are organized, you should be able to handle it.
My class was fully online and through that, Professor Rothaug made the semester go smoothly with his organized page. His genuine interest in the subject really shows. If you pay attention and get your assignments done, which is an average amount, you will get the grade you want. 100% recommend!
He does not care about anything and will not help or accommodate no matter what.
Very easy online class. Complete quizzes and homework on time and you will be fine.
Mr. Rothaug is very responsive and heavily uses e-mail to update students. Moodle is out of date and 99% of the class is on mymathlab. 1 essay & tests count for a massive percentage but you get 2 tries.There is a ton of homework and you mostly have to teach yourself, but unfortunately thats the case for most online courses. Overall recommend.
Just completed the online Contemporary Mathematics class with Professor Rothaug. You will learn a tremendous amount in this class! Make sure that you are consistently completing work on MyMathLab and stay on top of his announcements, etc. Use homework to prepare for weekly online assessments! Rewarding class if you remain consistent and focused!
He is a good professor who rewards consistency and staying on top of assignments.
Overall, I enjoyed taking this math class with Prof Walter Rothaug.
I took this class fully online, using the mymathlab. Every Wednesday, Friday were when the assignments were due. While you needed to complete the tests by Sunday. Professor Walter Rothaug was very realistic and clear with expectations for when everything was due. Always replied to emails. Overall decent online class and professor.
I took this class fully online, using MyMathLab. Every Wednesday and Friday were when the assignments were due. You needed to complete the tests by Sunday. The significant part about taking this class is that you can get ahead with homework and test. Professor Walter Rothaug was realistic and clear with expectations for when everything was due.
Pretty chill dude. This class was online asynchronous and there were a few homework assignments and a quiz every week. The guy is very understanding when it comes to extensions. Overall good teacher.
This professor is very straightforward with the grading and the class work that must be done, which is very helpful throughout the semester.
I definitely do not recommend Professor Rothaug for Statistics I, which I took in person. He's all over the place every single class. He is completely incapable of engaging with any of the students during class. Much of class time he rambles incoherently while nobody listens. Everything he assigns can be completed just don't expect his help.
assignments and course material were laid out in a clear and concise manner
dr rotaug is a great professor who makes this class very easy for all his students. his schedule and curriculum include multiple homework assignments and a test you must complete weekly. there also a required paper you have to do in order to pass the class. overall, i had a great experience with dr. rotaug.
Very solid professor to have for a class. Responds fairly quickly to emails. Although the workload can seem overwhelming at times if the assignments are completed and you study accordingly it should be a pretty straightforward class.
Professor Rothaug is one of the worst professors at Bergen. He spends the entire class just rambling on and barely teaches. You end up having to teach yourself the course material. He is also impossible to reach outside of class as he doesn't check his emails. It's also a week after the semester ended and he has yet to actually put up grades.
Definitely has a deep understanding of statistics but is getting up there in age, has trouble focusing on the lecture and can't hear very well. All work is fairly easy to complete on your own, very nice guy, generous with deadlines. Just listen to the man and don't zone out and you'll do fine, light work load as well, tests taken at home there easy
Great professor. He's very clear on what needs to be done and very understanding. Just do your work and you'll be fine. I would take him again.
He is one of the great professor in Bergen. Took online class but he replies to all the emails.
He was willing to work with you and help you in times of confusion with homework.
Overall the class was all online and rarely had to be communicated with the professor. However, if you do reach out by email he does get back to you with any questions. You HAVE to make sure you answer each question correctly. The course in general was okay, lots of homework so don't wait till the last minute.
Prof. Rothaug provided an excellent learning experience for his online contemporary math course. He is flexible with homework assignments and tests and stays connected with the class with his weekly emails. I would absolutely take his class again and highly recommend him to anyone.
The majority of this is on Pearson which provides good examples and explains the subject well.
You must be on top of your homework! Tests are pretty accurate if you follow up with your homework weekly. Professor Rothaug was understanding through difficulty and was very helpful throughout the course. I suggest this course and would take this class again!
I really enjoyed this course. Professor Rothaug's class can be difficult, but if you stay on top of the assignments and read from the textbook, you should be fine. Tests were fairly easy, make sure to do work on time and not leave it for the last minute because work can pile up quickly.
Get the homework and tests done and you will be fine. The professor emails you to remind you of assignments and usually gives an extra day. You also get two chances on the tests
If you are mathematically inclined, this class is for you. If you struggle with math, avoid this professor. He offers little to no help if you ask questions or are struggling.
Not great. If math comes easy to you, then this class is for you. If you're not a math person, skip this class, find a different professor. This professor was very apathetic and showed very little interested in wanting students to genuinely learn. Not helpful. Due dates on Moodle are wrong and constantly changed. Would not recommend.
First I like to start off by saying that Math has always been my least favorite subject. I struggled with math however taking Professor Rothaug class turned out to be the best option. He is very organized with homework assignments and weekly test. He always responds to emails and he is always helpful. I highly recommend this class. Good Professor.
Good class over and responds to emails really quickly!
Weekly emails from the prof, great communicator overall. Just make sure to stay on top of the homework to be prepared for the weekly timed exams.
you have to pay in order to access any assignments posted using the app pearsons which I found inconvenient. He posts a ton of homework which is very difficult, some questions will be correct but marked incorrect because it needs to be written a certain way. The class was extremely difficult, I recommend a different professor. !!!
He seemed to be older than my normal professors which resulted in him spending 10-20 minutes of each class figuring out how attendance worked and how Moodle worked. His homeworks were random and hard to keep up with. They were never put online so if you weren't in class, you had no idea what the homework was. He never went over the homework either.
I don't take this professor again
he never taught, talked about things not related to the class (why do i need a lecture on the russian revolution in stat???), no clear grading criteria, never responded to emails, never posted due dates
Struggles with technology so he'll waste majority of class trying to figure out the projector/computer. Grades are rarely posted. Doesn't answer emails. If you have any questions or concerns he is rude/dismissive and doesn't give a clear answer. Assigns an essay which makes no sense for a stat class. Choose a different professor at all costs.
Rothaug has a well-structured class. Stay on top of the weekly homework and exams to do well. The textbook and online materials are helpful for learning the concepts.
Professor Rothaug's class is well-organized with helpful weekly emails and structured homework. While the material can be challenging, utilizing resources like the textbook, study sessions, and unstuckstudy AI made the course manageable. The professor is understanding and responsive to student needs.
AVOIDD. Really old and takes YEARS to use the computer. Doesn't answer emails. Gave me the wrong grade so I had to wait until September to go talk to him personally to get it fixed since he wouldn't answer my emails. Just a bad professor overall. I don't know how he is still teaching honestly.
He is not grat with the computer or the projector so 30 min would be dedicated to him calling tech. He gave very few grades and does not accept late hw even if you were not able to attend class for legitimate reasons. Does not answer emails and does not answer questions effectivly. Rambles a lot. Unorganized layout. Teaches off of a textbook.
Ancient. Should not be teaching, he can't hear or see that well. Rambles in a low voice the entire class. Exams are online so there's that but overall awful.
This professor's grading is definitely outdated, especially when he made a mistake with not informing the class on one of the problems being rounded, and about 50% of the class failed the questions. On top of being very test heavy, the homework are worth 1/3 of a point? It's super confusing and if you need or want to take statistics, Don't pick him
He did NOT reply to emails. He had a syllabus, which indicated that he had office hours, but didn't include the days in which he was available. After emailing him 3 times, he responded ONCE saying he wasn't going to assist me. He gives EXTENSIVE amounts of homework but it's only worth 3% of your grade, whereas tests? 97%! WHO DOES THAT?
Makes tests and quizzes very hard to find on canvas. Doesn't give any extra time or re takes ever even if your attendance is perfect and you participate. Also makes homework hard to find. Probably one of the most unorganized professors i've ever had.Dont do it.
Why is there a random essay assigned in a statistics class?
VERY unorganized. It's literally the end of the semester, and he still hasn't graded anything/doesn't even k what he's gonna do for final when it's literally in 1-2 weeks. Only pro is that he doesn't grade hw harshly (apparently at least according to him but I wouldn't k bc he STILL hasn't graded ANYTHING). Worst prof i've ever had sorry.
good. accesible and responds quick.
