very clear and explains the concepts very thoroughly

He explains clearly and very easy teacher.

Best Teacher ever! He esplains everything so clearly and relates topics to everyday issues we can relate with. I would reccomend taking Wayne.

Neidhart was my math teacher and my advisor!!! Definatley reccommend him to ANYONE!

Can someone say "Human Calculator"

Lectures in a clear & easy to understand style. Available to provide help to students at anytime. Works through examples in a concise manner, as many as needed. Only ask! One of the best math teachers at Edmonds!

The best instructor I have ever had for math. He is very fair and one of the kindest people I have ever met.His demonstrations are amazing!! He offers a lot of help in his office, also. I have learned to love math because of Dr. Neidhardt.

Fantastic teacher.

I took Wayne before I transferred to the UW where I continued to take math courses and I still think he is the best instructor that I have ever had. HE'S AWESOME!! The "Human Calculator"!

I used to hate Math, now.. I actually enjoy it because of him. He is VERY clear and easy to understand. Excellent instructor.

Absolutly loved the class. I wasn't good at math prior to his class, but now I acctually understand it.

What can I say, He is such an awesome teacher. Sometimes he will explain things so well id want to say "Move on!" But, he made sure everyone was on the same page as him before he moved on. I cant ever get classes anymore with him because it seems like everyone gets to his open classes first. Grr. if the man could duplicate himself...

Dr. N is a Fabulous teacher. I've had him for math 80,90 and now 131. I use to HATE math. I was afraid of it and did anything to stay clear of it. Now I love it. He explains very well. He is available after class and in his office for help. He really wants you to understand. So far 4.0 in both 80 and 90. Hopefully this class too. He's great!

He's very nice teacher. All the quizzes are base on your HW, if you do your HW you can just copy them to your quizzes. His test may be a little hard but a 90% is a 4.0 in his class!!! Quizzes are 10% of your grade but if you do your HW, that's an easy 10%!!! His teaching is great and very easy to understand. Just that he writes a lot of notes.

Absolutely the best math teacher! Very clear in his lectures. Tests are multiple choices, T/F, fill-in blanks, short answers (there's downside to this b/c no partial credit, either right or wrong). Test questions are fair, as long as you attend class and do the homeworks. Also, he's da "human calc"!

This guy is great. 90%=4.0 instead of 95%. Quizzes are easy and exams are straight forward. This guy is very helpful and is some sort of human calculator, very impressive

Extremely good teacher. He teaches real well. I would recommend him if you actually want to learn something.

Amazing way of teaching. Homework is never collected, but quizes are straight from HW and you can copy your homework answers. Grades based on quizes and exams. If you don't like bussy work and understand math, this is a great professor for you. Plus, he's super smart.

Best math teacher ever. Providing clear lectures and fair tests. Go for his class if you can

Mr. Neidhart is a very good teacher. He explains the math very well and is available for help. He WANTS students to succeed and it shows in his way of teaching the class.

He the best teacher ever. He explains the staff very well and the exams are fair.

He provided a syllabus with every assignment mapped out for the whole quarter. He didn't impose a lot of fluff and nonsense. We strictly worked from the book and our tests were reflective of our assignments. Every class begins with answering questions from students regarding their HW, then he explains new section with remaining time. He's great!

Good instructor. Has a set timeframe on when homework should be done and when quizzes/tests are given. Only gripe is that he sometimes digresses from he subject a bit and can also be all over the board, making it seem unorganized. And on tests, I the multiple choice and true/false have no partial credit, but worth a lot of points. SOL if wrong.

Dr. Neidhardt is awesome. His exams can be frustrating due to no partial credit for 2/3 of the test (e.g. multiple choice, t/f, etc.). NOTE: Don't forget the "+ C" at the end of your indefinite integrals. He does balance it in that you only need to get a 90% in the class for a 4.0. Also, he's well-organized and has a good sarcastic sense of humor!!

MY FAVORITE MATH TEACHER OF ALL TIME. Great, funny lectures, extremely helpful and well organized. Neidhardt is as good as a math teacher could get.

This instructor is an excellent teacher, but won't take your crap, so keep on task! Nice guy, learned lots.

Funny and sarcastic. Great instructor. Homework given every day, but never collected. Quizzes were directly from homework assignments. Tests were challenging but not impossible if you did the homework. I got a 4.0 without too much grief. I would like to attend another class taught by Wayne.

Expects students to be adults and keep on track. Very organized class, spends half the time answering questions and the rest going over new material. Explains problems in the most basic form possible. Not the most animated guy, but to each their own right?

Wayne is an excellent teacher! I've taken his Calc 3, Calc 4, Diff Eq's, and Linear Algebra with 4.0's in everything but Calc 4 (3.9). His explanations are very clear and correct. He knows all the material and he almost never makes a mistake or is unable to answer a question. He assigns homework every day but if you do it all you will do f

good teacher, if you pay attention and keep up on hw, he is real with people, and only gives grades on based on performance. Best at Edmonds for sure. his favorite comment is "we offer math 90 at this institution". know your algebra skills before attending any upper level classes of his or he'll tear you apart...have fun!

Of the math professors I've had at EdCC, I recommend him the most. He is an older gentlemen, which is good because that means he has a lot of experience teaching, and hence is better at it. Additionally, it is easier to get a good grade in his class than in others-a 90% is a 4.0. Usually, one has to attain a 93% or a 95% to get a 4.0.

I've had Neidhardt for the 3 or the 4 calculus classes afford at edcc and every single one was challenging and as a result rewarding. Generally his finals are more about demonstrating you understood the topics covered in class instead of computationally intensive problems. The no partial credit section of exams can be an easy place to lose points.

i took all the CAL, DVQ, linear algebra class with Neidhardt. And I got all 4.0 so easy. He is the best teacher I have ever met. I enjoy taking his class and I recommend people taking his class.

attend his class, take good notes and listen to his lectures...whatever he goes thru in class is what you will see in his tests. one of my favorite teachers.

He is a funny guy,good at explaining step by step. everything is worked on the computer (classwork, homework, quizzes)activity days are on every other friday and its only a question. esay class and easy teacher, but dont fall behind or you wont be done on time for the final.

Although I had him for *only* 2 quarters, for MATH&'s 141 and 151, I really think Neidhardt is my favorite math professor at EdCC. I would really recommend him for math. He typically pretty clear on his lectures, which are important to keep track of. He's real funny and his grading system is good (90% = 4.0). He makes a hard class easier!

Dr Neidhardt is THE best math prof at Edmonds. I struggle with math concepts and had to take math 080 & 090 two times each. After my first attempts w/ teachers who didn't explain these concepts to where I understood them, I registered for Neidhardts class. He is so good at what he does & his classes were ones that I looked forward to going to.

He knows maths and teaches in a simple way. i like that he keeps order in class so following the course material is easy. if you want to learn maths, he is the right guy.

If taking Summer QTR, attend ALL classes, it will help! He explains the material very well and he is on top of things. Tests are include multiple choice, T/F (no partial credit), fill in the blanks (which can be helpful) and a couple of problems (maybe partial credit).

Took this course during summer and was worrying about how I would do. Neidhardt is the best math professor I have ever had, let alone just at Edmonds. His explanations are simple and slow. He gauges the class' understanding of a subject and will go more in depth to something or less in depth accordingly. His tests are straight forward too!

almost don't have homework. only 1 question per week. total of 3 quiz, he will drop the lowest one. + one final... self-study is really important. choose him, if you are smart and lazy. And math&144 is a tough class, don't choose it.

Great and good man. Proofs are crystal clear and concepts are built up steadily and consistently. Don't ask any stupid questions in the high level classes (calc and 200-level), though, because it really ruffles his gruffle. Absolutely would recommend for anyone.

Wow, one of the best professors I've had in any of my math classes. He is the best at explaining and I took him for precalc1. You have to put in the work though. Wish he was teaching calculus.. Do the homework and you'll do fine in the class.

After many years out of a classroom, he made the transition back to school easy. He was clear in his explanations, has a fun demeanor and was super helpful all semester long. Cannot wait to take him again..

lower expectations on grading (90% = 4.0) and only a little homework. explains the concept as clear as crystal, and he's pretty funny as well. however... his tests are unique. there's a multiple choice section and a true/false in addition to the math problems - makes it HARD to get a 90% average. -____- I still recommend him though. just work hard!

I liked this professor. If people cannot handle math they shouldn't take it out on the professor. If one studies they will succeed. I liked him.

I liked this class a lot, my gpa did not. He does not tolerate disruptions in class. He explains concepts in great depth and answers questions if you have any. He might sass you if your question displays that you weren't paying attention. His tests are particularly brutal (no partial credit for roughly 80% of each test and pretty long for 50 min).

You are right! God bless America, SEAHAWKS AND NUMBER 12.

Neidhardt is one of the best instructors I've had; however, the tests are definitely not easy. The other students and I still hold a great amount of a respect for him. If you want an easy grade, find another instructor and another class altogether. If you want to learn and feel accomplished, pick Neidhardt.

He is a great teacher. If you do your homework everyday and study then his tests won't be hard. Some lectures are confusing but his class isn't that hard.

Basically, Wayne is a good teacher. The way he explain in class is very clear if you pay attention.. It's just the difficulty gap between his example and the homework question is too big. Had a hard time at first. Overall, he is great, he answer all of my question with a clear explanation. Tests are easy if you do the practice. No extra credits!

Very good teacher for those who want to understand maths as deeper as possible

He doesn't give not many tests. His explanation is very clear and quite understandable; but you need to practice and solve the problems in homework section by yourself. For me, it was good way because I can manage my time. If you are not a active time manager, you might be better to look another teachers...

Professor Neidhardt is a good teacher; his lectures are crystal clear. However, If you are a bad test taker, you won't pass this class. His class's grade is 90% test and 10% online quiz. There is pretty much no way to get your grade up unless you actually do all your homework and work hard for it. He never gives handouts too. 70% of my class failed

Lectures are pretty good. No quizzes. Its 90% tests and 10% HW. Easy HWs. 90% is a 4.0. Tests are tricky. More than 18 problems on all tests and not enough time,especially when the problems are hard. You can only get partial credit on 30% of the problems. Which means a sign error in all the other ones can give you a 0. Drops the lowest test.

I loved his lectures. Pretty clear. However, if you actually care about your gpa, don't ever take his course. I'm a 4.0 student, but I got a 75% on his test, and that was above average. Dropped his course right away. Really. Don't. Take. Him. Forreals.

If you want a 4.0 then don't take this class. I took his class last summer and I literally screwed on my score. I'm a 4.0 student in math and end up getting 2.5 in his class. His lectures is amazing but I don't like the system that he uses for his class.

Good lectures that explain the material completely. Grading system is essentially all test based and homework is assigned but not collected. So if you can't force yourself to do the work for your benefit then this isn't the class for you. The lectures are amazing and worth though.

Really knows what he is talking about, outstanding lecturer. He will always thoroughly explain concepts and answer any and all questions, you just have to seek help when necessary. Makes math fun at a high level and really pushes you to be your best. Don't expect a blowoff class with him though.

I took the class in Fall 2017. Uses WebAssign for online hw. No quizzes; 3 Tests. Optional additional textbook hw. It can help you understand the material better. He posts practice tests, doing them will really help you, so I highly recommend doing those. I like how tests are passed back the next day. Lectures are very helpful.

Everything's by the book. 3 tests, 90% of the grade. I would argue that doing well/poorly on the tests doesn't necessarily correlate with your mathematical abilities though.

He is really knowledgeable and nice. His grading system is 3 exams (he'll drop 1) and 1 final exam make up 90% of your overall grade, the other 10% is for homework. Exams are multiple choices, true false, short answer... each of them are 5-10 points so getting 1 question wrong, you lose 5%-10%. His lecture and practice exams are helpful, do it.

If you take the daily class, there will be a lot of homework every day. He uses webassign, which is so expensive. You will get good scores if you study from the practice exams and listen to the lectures well. He is a tough grader, but most of the questions that came out on the exams are similar from the practice exams. Don't ever skip his class

His exams are hard, but if you get 90% in the overall scores, you already get 4.0 in his class.

Mr. Wayne Neidhardt is a great teacher. He teaches very clearly and loves to prove formulas to help us understand more about them. His classes are interesting if you listen to him. Homework is online. You'll also learn a lot from the homework. The bad things people say about him are not true. He is a great teacher. 90%4.0 80%3.0 70%2.0 Good guy

Professor Wayne is an inspirational person in the classroom. I think there is a misconception among students about him, as he is actually a teacher that has the will to help you when you have a question, and his grading criteria is clear. He is known as a tough grader as some questions in his exams do not provide partial credit.

To be honest, I'm biased. As in, I wish he had always been my math teacher. He tries to keep things light and funny. He is a confident teacher. His pre-tests give the layout of the real exams (3) and he takes half of the class period every day to answer questions from students. If you miss an assignment you get an automatic, 24hr extension.

Wayne is such an easy going guy. Yes his voice can be a bit monotonous, but other than that he tries his best to explain concepts to students, and he isn't tough on grading. He is willing to answer all of our questions, gives us helpful exam reviews, and can sometimes be humorous. Overall, a great teacher!

Prof Neidhardt is a solid teacher for math. At the beginning of the quarter, he clearly outlines his grading criteria, which really helps. For his class, a 90% or above is a 4.0(he rounds up from the decimal place), he gives 2% boost just for coming to class, and the final exam was take home, so it made the class less stressful.

I took precalc 1 and 2 with neidhardt, he is professional and hilarious. You get extra credit for attendance. Make sure you don't cheat on his exams, he will pretend he didn't notice you until the final exam. Relatively an easy 4.0 if you are doing the work you are supposed to!

Your grades are based on 3 exams only, no quizzes. Be sure to attend class everyday and take notes of everything he writes on the board (will be helpful for homework and exams). As long as you pay attention in class and practice at home, you'll sure get an A. I don't think you need to work harder in his class than any other math class.
