he's a bad prof, but it's possible to get an A, unlike everyone says

Horrible... Avoid at all costs !!!

Adams needs to retire, he does not know how to teach and hates students

Doesn't teach but very possible to get an A if you know the material & read book

Boring, Rambling, Ben Stein on downers! Avoid unless u can teach yourself

you'll have to teach yourself with this prof. Not recommended for students bad in math.

Horrible, don't take unless want to fail

I have to teach myself? If I wanted to do that I wouldn't be in a university.

THE WORST!

BOOOOOOOORRRRINNNNGGGG. If you're good at teaching yourself from the text book go right ahead and do it. But if you're not a Math wiz, take someone else, cause you will be lost.

He's horrible. No one in the class knows what he's talking about. Very few did well on the last test. DO NOT take him. He's a nice guy, but he cannot teach.

i cant even go to his class anymore...i fall asleep no matter what i do...nice guy, but the most monotonous voice EVER

His class is horiibe.Yeah you don't get any work, but then he gives a test on history and facts in his books he wrote which have nothing to do with the class.I dropped his class and so did a lot of other students because he is a very difficult teacher.

This guy BLOWS! He does not take attendance, 1/2 the class doesn't show up. He doesn't care if you understand or not. BORING. Tought grader.Do whatever possible NOT to get this guy. He makes stuff so complicated you won't understand it.

Prof. Adams is a very intelligent man; however, he is not a very methodical teacher. He wrote the text book, thus does not feel the need to show you another way of doing a problem. I suggest extensive outside tutoring, and even that is a little bit tough.

He must be related to the clear eyes for red eyes commercial guy. He is soooooo BORING, he will put u to sleep, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HIM if u hate math, and it needs to broken down to you step by step, bc all he does is talk and no teaching.

Horrible! Math 107 was the only darn math class that i had to take during my college years. And he flunked me! I got A's and a B in all my other 5 courses, but in his dumb class i failed. It was like a history class, but the math version. Horrible!!!!

zzzzzzzzz..........

STAY AWAY. i took him twice, he screwed me twice.

he is the worst teacher possible he is a very nice man but he has no idea how to teach he is extremely boring he wrote the book for the class and it's impossible to understand and all he does is read it to you AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Very inconsistent.

the teacher is hard

Hate this class. There is no reason for anyone to take the class unless you are willing to read the whole entire book he wrote. I for one am NEVER EVER EVER taking him again.

(deleted for explicit content).

worst teacher ever. he speaks monotone the entire period, you are deffinately going to fall asleep. he teaches directly out of his text book, you are better off reading and teaching it yourself(you will probably make less mistakes than him)he is constantly writing and saying the wrong things, confusing the class and he can never explain himself

HORRIBLE TEACHER. He writes the book, so you cant even teach yourself the material. My friend takes the exact same math with another professor, and they do the same exact stuff except it makes sense. RUN AWAY PEOPLE...he aint worth it

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!! and if u happen to get him... drop the class before its too late... he never helps you, cant answer your questions, his stupidity adds to the confusion of the course

OMFG! DO NOT REGISTER FOR HIM!

OH GOD...IS HE STILL TEACHING!?! I HAD HIM IN '97 AND I DONT REMEMBER MUCH ABOUT THAT CLASS. HE WROTE THE BOOK AND ALL I REMEMBER IS WRITING PAPERS ABOUT POLITICS IN A MATH CLASS...GO FIGURE! HE IS THE WORST TEACHER AND MAKES THE TEACHER FROM FERRIS BUELLER LOOK INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!

I never had a professor who just made me hate a subject as much as he did for Math 104 and Math 117. Honestly guys I made A's in everybody elses class except for him, I made a D! Whose fault is that?

i took this professor last semester i mean fall 2005. he is the worst professor ever, don't take him if you want to pass this class.

This man is the worst Math professor in History. I pray to GOD that I pass his class this semester. His voice is monotone and horrid so it makes you not want to pay attention. The first exam basically everyone failed. He sucks. I can't stand him and once again I pray to GOD that I pass this course. I have no idea how he became a math professor. Run

If you don't want to learn take him!! The worst professor i have ever had. His lectures are painfully boring. Pace only keeps him because he wrote a book(which sucks) AVOID HIM AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!

Horrible! When you go to his office hours, you still don't get it. He writes the book himself, so you cant even teach yourself the material. And his MATH tests are composed of essays and full sentences. What is that about?!

this is the WORST math professor you can ever take. i only had him for 2 days i knew right off the bat that i will not pass this class. not only does he not teach, but the work is even worse; its basically whatever he says in class. if you want to pass DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!! HE SUCKSSSS!!

He would be cute as a Grandpa but as a math teacher he is horrible!! If you aren't good at Math don't take him because you need to teach yourself. When we got our first tests back he advised our class to drop it, and when i asked for his signature so I could drop it, he signed it without asking why.

This professor, I'm sure was once great, but now is waaayyy too old to be teaching. He is not very helpful. I think he's the worst professor to take mainly because he figures out your final class grade by computating ONLY THREE TEST SCORES!! So if youre a bad test taker, or suck at math, youre bound to FAIL. DONT TAKE HIM>HE NEEDS TO RETIRE!

He should retire. I wouldn't fall asleep if I could hear what he was saying.

HORRIBLE, simplistic word but the best way to describe this clown honestly if you dont like learning and low grades this is the class for you nothing he reviews for are on the test, doesnt show up 1/3 of the time and will result in you haveing a lower GPA the guy should be fired but thanks to the laws of tenuer he's good to go BS.

dO NOT TAKE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN WORSE MATH TEACHER EVER BASICALLY have to Teach yourself didnt even review for final and was not at the final barely shows up for class even the book is confusing because he WROTE it

How is this teacher still standing? HE IS THE WORST!!! he cannot teach and speaks at such a low volume. I was so frustrated in his class, and his book (he wrote) has the wrong answers! i pointed them out myself! his first exam is easy, but his other two are hard...dont follow the review set, NOTHING from it will be on this exam! he needs to retire!

too weak, too slowly, too quietly. make unfunny joke. test is not only slove the problem but short essay too. someone good at writing maybe like it~ but if you are good at math, don't pick him.

stay away. horrible + boring. he has an advantage.. he doesnt have to listen to himself talk.

This class was ridiculous. There are two exams, each worth 25%, and the final, worth 50%. That's it. Adams is boring, slow, and very unhelpful. What he teaches doesn't make sense and the tests are really hard unless you study his answers in the book and mimic them. I didn't learn anything and barely scraped by. dont take any class w him ever!!

Adams may be the worst teacher in the history! Do not take him unless you want to kill your GPA!

Took him 2 yrs ago, but still remember him as the worst prof. ever. The worst grade that I got, and I learned absolutely NOTHING from his class, which becomes a problem for me to do stats w/o basic knowledge. He is careless about his students or even his teaching; his class is WASTE of time! His self-written textbook is useless, too!

SIGHHH...if you want to understand the material...dont take him...do not do it!!! When he speaks its like wahh wah wahhh then to top it off he only does like one problem per class. The worst part is that if you thought listening to him was bad..he wrote the book, which is like his math bible....whatever you do...DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!

He is the worst teacher I have ever had in my history of schooling. Teaches out of his book (which is wrong to begin with), hard to pay attention in class. Unless you can teach it to yourself, do not take this class because YOU WILL FAIL. harsh grader. He is hard to listen to and doesn't understand material. His tests are selftests from his book

Worst teacher at Pace. No question. Take him if you want to be miserable and hurt your GPA.

Horrible, the worst professor ever. He wrote the book we were using and he talks like he writes. DO NOT TAKE HIM. He does not know how to explain and is a very hard grader.

I got a 98 on the final and he gave me a D. His grading is based on if he likes you or not - HORRIBLE, ruined my GPA completely. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

The worst teacher at Pace University. Favourite grade is a D. Reads directly and using examples from the textbook..that he wrote. Avoid at ALL costs!

easily the worst teacher at Pace. He wrote his own book and teaches his own version of finite mathematics. If you take get stuck with him, try to get on his good side, his grading is very arbitrary

definitely the worst teacher at Pace. he wrote his own book and teaches his own version of Finite Mathematics. None of my friends that took 104 with a different teacher could help me because they had no idea what was in my book. Even the tutoring center can't help you. Avoid this dude at all costs

DONT TAKE HIM! the worst prof. in Pace!!! He doesn't teach well! Doesn't explain anything! if you wanna fail the class you can take him! but my suggestion is - DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!

He is a snake! You cannot trust this guy! He pretends to be on your side and then he turns on you!

As a senior who has experienced my ups & downs at Pace, I can easily say that he is the worst teacher I have ever had. Math for Life:You don't learn ANYTHING. But that doesn't mean it's an easy A. If you do not regurgitate LITERALLY word for word his "answers" you will receive no credit for a question. He's stubborn & unfair. You'll regret it.

Boring,Useless, and doesn't give a flip how you learn. He encourages students to sleep in class if they so choose to. He spends over half the class explaining 1 problem and the rest of it getting up and down from his chair.

He is literally the worst teacher I have ever witnessed. Not only does he not teach anything, but very rarely does he even leave his chair. Take any other teacher than him. Literally ANYONE ELSE!!!
