Clark was a good teacher, although classes were sometimes boring they were tolerable (its math petes sake) I have always struggled in math but he took the time out and helped. If wasnt ready for the test he allowed me more time. Great teacher as long as you do what you gotta do youll pace.
excellent proffessor.any one can pass his class. his explanations are clear he does a lot of hw problems in the class . very helpful. one can easily pass his class. his exam questions are not so hard. and even helpful in exams. gud guy
Mr clark is the best CALCULUS teacher ar harper hands down. I took calc the previous semester and got a "D". I didnt do one homework assignment and i got a A in his class. Explains everything to the greatest in detail. If you can pay attention in class youll be very well. TAKE HIM!!
He was a helpful teacher and very clear
TAKE HIM!!! He's one of the best Calculus teachers I have ever had! When he teaches his class, you can see he knows what he is doing. He always goes through theory, which is a vital necessity (especially in mathematics), and is willing to help you whenever you need it. His tests are on the easy side & his quizes come straight from the homework.
The best teacher ever. I took this class three times before and failed and I passes his class with a B+. He is excellent at teaching... everything always makes sense and is very clear. In addition, he is extremly nice, very approchable and extremly helpful. There should be more teachers like Mr. Clark.
this is the first year for this instructor, he is so cute, and he is a good teacher, super helpful and will do xtra study as well. review sheet and practice test. if you have a hard time with math, take him!!!
He is a cute guy, pretty easy going, didnt really mind what you did in class, never seems to fail anyone, im not good in math at all, took him and passed with a C. Class can be boring but what class isn't and he does go over stuff very well.
I took this class after not having any math for the past 9 years. It gave me anxiety and I with out a doubt hated math. Yet I passed this class with a B.. Mr clark is awesome, extremely approachable, always willing to help, gave extra credit, and he is smokin hot heh heh. Definitely go for this one if you don't know what you are doing!!!!!
great teacher ever!!! he is really great teacher, have very good knowledge about mth. quiz directly from homework problems and he always select easy problems!!!! very helpful teacher too. he is easy grader too he never care about algebraic stuff in the calc 2, he just check the integral in the quiz!!!!!HIGHLY recommended!!!
He is a bada$$ mothaflower. He knows what he is doing. People say that his class its easy but in reality its his explanation of the material that makes it seem like an easy course. Very helpful.
Good Teacher. He like to teach. He does all quarries in class. Ask him Question in class & he will definitely answer you. No attendance required. Do homework Optional. Many easy quizzes Cumulative Final. I took him for summer & I had an A. Gr8 Math Teacher. He love to teach.
Mr. Clark Rocks!! He's extremely intelligent, helpful and nice. He explains the problems thoroughly making sure you understand. I'm not very good in math and passed with a "C". If you attend class and try hard he'll pass you. He's extremely fair and approachable when you have a question. He's awesome. Highly recommended.
I had to drop this guys class because i was doing terrible. but let me say this guys is sooooo HOT!
He explains the material so well that if you ask questions when you dont understand he will make sure to answer them best he can. since it is tougher material he has answered many for me and I currently have a B in the class. He is great and I highly suggest you take a class with him.
Amazing teacher. Definately recommend him. He explain stuff so well and is very generous. He will help you a lot more then any other teacher has. Out of all the teachers I have, his the best teacher ever.
he is pretty awesome. you just have to try and put forth some effort and he'll pass you. i thought i would fail for sure, but i didn't :) he does not collect the homework, so make sure you pay attention and do it.
He tans too much
ZZZZZZ If you need a nap take this class. This teacher lectures in math class! I think he is confused as to what subject he teaches, math or English.Sitting through this class is excruciating.
This teacher couldn't be clearer. He is very thorough. It's great for someone like me who hasn't taken math in a few years. Excellent teacher!
Great teacher, crystal clear lectures and always available for questions. This is how teachers are supposed to be. Homework is optional and gives extra credit for it when done on occasion.
Excellent teacher. He is very clear on explaining everything and is more than willing to help you with any questions you have. He is very fair in grading and gives you every chance to get a good grad in his class.
This is one of the best mathematics teachers at Harper. Highly Recommended! Makes class enjoyable, very approachable and always available for help.
The greatest math teacher I ever had. Very clear and detailed explanation. Don't give test until the students understand the material. Homework was NOT mandatory. We did only in class or take-home activities. Offers some EC opportunities. I highly recommend him!!!
Mr. Clark is a great teacher.He is very helpful and he explains well the lecture.He try to teach everybody.He is a little tuff with the make ups but this is good for students because it makes them more respancable.
Best Teacher Ever! So much fun and easy to get a long with. I wish he taugh more higher level Math classes, hopefully I can convince him to teach MTH 165...STATS! Take HIM....you won't be dissapointed! Very helpful...and available whenever you need him! :)
Great teacher. Teaches to those that want to learn and is crystal clear with his work. Great homework policy - do it if you want and he will occasionally check for extra credit. Absolutely take Clark if you want to learn.
he is the best math teacher ive ever had. i loved his class so much and i would take another class with him. i understood everything and i learned a lot with him. take a class with him! he is the best
He's wonderful. Take him, he makes math very clear and precise for students to understand. If you do your homework you'll be fine, as long as you pay attention and study you will be fine. He's really nice and helpful also.
Good at teaching the subject. Not always completely fair with partial credit. Dissapeared after the semester, tried to contact him multiple times. Had no office hours during the summer to come in for help.
he is the best teacher in the world.he is very helpful clear fair. answers all your questions.I WISH I HAD HIM FOR ALL THE CLASSES IAM TAKING FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS.
he is the best teacher in the world
Mr Clark is a great teacher, his teaching style is one of the best. Attend class, do homework and participate. He's very patient and explains very well! take him you wont be disapointed!
Amazing teacher and quite easy grader. Tests are based on homework, sometimes are even the same as example problems discussed during class session. If you like getting easy A's or B's this teacher is right for you!
Mr Clark is great! He relates well to his student, he knows how to balance class and humour and he is great at explaining in different ways if you don't get the first way. He will strive for you to do your best and this is great about him! He is always availble if you call/email! Although attendance is not mandatory, make sure you know what you mis
Mr. Clark is the best teacher!!! He is an easy grader and he explains very well. Take this teacher and you will not regret it :)
Mr. Clark is the best teacher. He is an easy grader and he explains very well. Take this teacher and you will not regret it!!! :)
First time I understood anything in math only because he made it interesting and understandable! Amazing teacher! If I need to take more math - the only teacher I would take.
Clark is the best teacher i ever had. i always had problems with math but with him math seems simple. He is a fun teacher, easy going and the class is never boring.He explains everything and makes sure you understand it. I took him already twice and this will be my third time!
Really knows how to teach! gives very good examples. He is always late to class though.DEF TAKE HIM!!!!
He is a great teacher! in math, one of the best! He makes sure you understand, He does not make miracles thought, make sure you are in class, that is the only way to learn. He will take the extra mile to make sure you understand.
A very good math instructor, he clearly explains the problems and shows how to solve them. Homework, quizzes, math lab assignmnts, and study problems are given to assist with exams. Plenty of options for extra credit and is direct in his grading. The downsides are few- does not post grades on blckbrd and delays in returning email/calls.
He is ok, Its either he likes you or he doesn't. He will def. not round your grade up if your border line.
I agree with a person below me. His lectures are long, boring and confusing. He's not a straightforward teacher. No extra credit and always late to class. I think he likes to play favorites and he's to lazy to post grades on the blackboard. Easy grader but won't curve your final grade. I will not take him again.
The class was a joke. The class missed 4 lectures, so it may not have been Clark's fault. The most basic stuff were OK, but the more advanced topics were barely touched. He makes mistakes grading tests, so if you find something wrong then you can argue. As a person, he's great and talking to him after class was fun.
Class was a joke. Overall he explains everything very clear, but you learn the same thing over and over again.
The BESTT!!!!!
At first I thought he was gay because he put in the book that he loves long walks with his dog, but he;s an ok teacher. He repeats himself ALOT, but he makes sure you understand what you're learning. He is ALWAYS late though, so that made me not want to attend, but overall it was a decent class. He doesn't grade well though so that blows.
Does everything he can for everyone to pass.
good teacher but he repeats everything from the class before and with 10 mins left in class he'll try and teach you a new thing. he has been on a role putting me to sleep because hes very monotone but if you want an easy teacher take him
Explains the material very well! And is willing to help you out after class.Only collected a couple of Homework assignments.
I UNDERSTAND MATH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! Mr. Clark is a life saver for me. Yea he's late sometimes...but he drives from the city & whatever!... His love for teaching outweighs that silly fact :) He's very approachable which is important to me. Anyway...LOVE HIM! & he's kinda cute too.
To all those going into teaching: take the basic skills test seriously the first time! Class can feel slow. He is almost always at least 10 minutes late. He expects you to take notes and when the test comes, you are specific with your answers or you will be docked points. But he's still the teacher you want!
Like the other person said, take the basic skills seriously in the beginning! Better to get it out of the way and not stress that you might not pass. Class periods are sooo slow though...not hard at all to catch what he's teaching. He is pretty specific about what he wants you to write as explanations on exams but goes over in class. Take him! A!
This teacher is always late! When explaining things he sometimes gets confused. When asked for help, he does other things and leaves you for last. Test are complicated and because you didn't use the word he wanted, he takes off many points. I do not recommend this teacher at all! Also you never use textbook in his class.
This class was very long and very boring! Lectures were boring because whatever you learned once, he went over, and over and just got very confusing and overall boring. He is always late for class and even cancels on very short notice. He does not give extra credit. Do not recommend taking this teacher!
Mr. Clark is an excellent teacher! He explains everything clearly and in detail. He's also very friendly and approachable. I highly recommend him! A++
great teacher. actually one of the best i've ever had. explains everything so clear cut just make sure you are REALLY attentive. he really likes to make sure you understand so if you have a question dont be afraid. he will address every single one of your issues. id take him for every class if i could!
By far one of the best math professors I have ever taken. His hand writing is so perfect. Class consisted of a few quizzes, a midterm, and a final. The midterm and final were kind of difficult, but not impossible. Overall, the class was amazing. Take HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't regret it.
Best Teacher you can ever ask for. He will help you when you need it, and he makes sure everyone knows what's going on, before continuing. His examples are clear, and his notes are godly!!!
He is one of the best math teachers I have taken. He explains everything well and makes sure you understand it. Just take notes and you will do good in this class.
hes a great teacher! he goes over everything that you don't understand, and we have thee homework quizzes every once in a while and you can honestly look at your homework and get an easy A on the quiz. hes very approachable as well and is passionate about all his students
Clear explanations. Exams are kind of hard, but problems are taken from the book. Try to do all assigned homework and you will get an A.
Mr. Clark is GREAT -he is patient and understanding. If you need help after class he is available for tutoring and he does not make you feel like a dummy if you do not quite grasp it. His lectureteaching style is great except that he tends to talk a bit slow and redundant because I think he wants to make sure the students understand the concept.
He does not give extra credit, or let anything slide
Best math teacher I have ever had hands down!
Clark's lectures are the clearest I've seen. His pace can be slow at times, but he makes sure to relay all the best information. His quizzes can be seen as easy, but his tests can be more difficult. Ask questions because he will make sure you understand what you're doing.
Professor Clark is a great Professor the semester few by very helpful if you come to class you will definitely pass if you have a math class this is the professor to take
A good teacher and a really nice person. Take him if you can
Clark is my teacher for calc 3 and he is hands down the best math teacher I have ever had. If you have the option to take him, do it
It's hard to find a math teacher that really explains things and truly cares about his students, professor Clark hands down is the perfect math teacher!! If the class does bad on a test he will have retakes for it. Theres some extra credit but not until the end of the semester, he's very caring for each student to pass the class! Take him!!!
Mr. Clark is a great teacher, if you need help on a specific topic, he will help you if you ask him for help. His tests are reasonable. His clear teaching method helped me understand the topic.
A very fair professor. He takes the time to explain any issues you might have with a particular topic or a problem. He breaks down the problems and explains in deep detail how to solve it. Tests can be hard, but as long as you study, you will pass. My only complaint would be that he does not offer any tricks or other ways of solving a problem.
Professor Clark is very clear and breaks material down in a way that is easy to understand. Having been out of school for a long time I found him to be exactly what I needed. If you reach out to him and let him know you want more help he is happy to do so after class. Highly recommend him and will be looking to take more classes from him!
The best teacher I have ever had in any subject. Breaks down the material very comprehensibly. It's clear that teaching is what he loves to do because he's just so good at it and caring. I've never seen him even get slightly irritated at a student. I can only dream that I achieve that level of inner peace one day. He looks like a buff Steve Carell
Bill was honestly the best math teacher I ever had. He had a genuine love for math and it was easily seen by the way he lectures. He goes over everything in detail and makes sure everyone understands it. While there is a quiz every friday, they are only 1-3 Q's, he tells you what topic its on, and are right from the HW. Definitely take his class
I love this professor one of the best i have ever had wood recommend anyone to take his course. He is very intelligent and also available outside of class for further assistance. I would suggest him highly.
this teacher is just the best. I took class with another teacher, he made it so hard. Bill explain so nice, never frustrates when you ask him question. He is the man. Very generous marking style. take his class chances of getting a B or A are higher than getting a C in his class
Took his calc2 with him, amazing explainations. Also if you do homework you WILL pass, the course. Because his tests are very similar to homework problems. Also take a very very very careful look at any study guide he posts before any exam, look at it very very very carefully. Follow that and youll pass
he really explains the material and helps you when you need it, towards the end of the semester he even gave us a take-home exam.
I don't like math. However, for the first time ever I was excited to come to class. He made learning fun and simple and I would absolutely recommend taking him if you can.
He's very nice and cares for his students but has limited office hour times which can be hard if you want extra help. Attendance points do not count. You can be there everyday and still fail his class.
Professor Clark is a great math teacher. Very clear, concise, and always willing to go over anything you ask. He prepares the class very well for exams and quizzes. If math is not your strong suit, I would definitely recommend Professor Clark.
He is a good teacher and gives fair questions on tests and quizzes. but he is a tough grader and will take points off for everything and anything.
Great Professor. Takes great care into every part of his classes for the students. Teaches Math in a way that is easy to understand and very fair to his students
I took Calculus II taught by him and he's hands down one of the smartest, approachable, and passionate professors IN Harper. Although he may sometimes go beyond the end of class to finish a concept, it shows that he really wants us to understand what we learn and we don't just jot things down. Also, if you withdraw without notification, it's an F.
I love Bill! He is the man, the myth, the math legend of Harper College. He is without a doubt the best calc 2 teacher you could ever have. His lectures are very clear and easy to understand. DO THE HW - the quizzes and tests that he gives come straight from the HW & will review HW problems in detail (even before a quiz or a test). Amazing.
Professor Clark sets crystal clear expectations for the class criteria, efficiently prepares students for the test material, and simplifies challenging calculus principles in a manner for which students could simply learn and comprehend. Professor Clark is a compassionate, overwhelmingly sharp and brilliant, and incredibly organized individual.
Best calculus professor Ive ever had! There are no homework assignments that are due, but still gives homework to practice the material. Quizzes every week that are consisted of 2 questions from the actual homework! You do the homework, you get an A on the quizzes! No surprise questions on exams, questions are just like the material covered!
He's a great professor who actually cares about his student's academic performance. Very intelligent, yet he is humble and helps break things down to a level that is easier for the student to understand. Hard-working professor and resilient, especially in tough times such as the Spring 2020 semester.
Best professor at Harper hands down. I've been waiting to take him for my next Math course!!!
He truly cares about his job and although some online lectures are really long and tough he is there to help
Took him for Calc II over the Summer. I was so scared it would be difficult, and although it was a tough class, he made it manageable. I wish I could have him for all my math classes because he breaks down EVERYTHING and truly cares about his students. He is inspiring and also a hard worker; would stay overtime to help students in problem sessions.
I took 2, or 3 classes with Professor Clark and everything ended up being great. He is a gentle, amazing, and intellectual Professor. He makes everything feasible to understand. If you give it a try, you will learn a lot and get A.
I loved having Prof Clark for Calc 2. He is very accessible and is very great at explaining complex topics by breaking them down step by step so they make sense. Exams are very similar to the materials given in class for HW, Quizzes, and other practice. I wish I could take him for Calc 3 but he won't be teaching it next semester :( 10/10 professor
Professor Clark is the definition of an amazing professor. He no doubt cares for his students and will make sure you get the grade you deserve. He posts a video for each topic of him thoroughly going through everything. Either way, Calc 2 is not an easy class so make sure you give it your best. Professor Clark will make it a ton easier for you.
Professor Clark is by far the best math professor I have had since beginning college courses. He is EXTREMELY thorough and takes time during lecture to review topics. He does not just assume the student remembers everything they've learned up to his class. His exams are fair and you will be set up for success if you attend lecture & do homework.
He will teach you everything you need to know for this class and takes his time breaking down everything. He goes through the material just enough in dept so you understand everything you need to but not so much that it's useless information at that point. Tough grader, yes. But you'll learn everything you need to know to do whatever he gives you.
Professor Clark is a knowledgeable, kind, and patient instructor who goes above and beyond to help his students succeed. Professor Clark hosts online meetings at all hours of the day, offers helpful review sessions, and answers any inquiries. Professor Clark is a true gem at Harper College and he is one of the best math professors I have taken.
Great teacher!
Prof. Clark is one of the best profs I've taken. Sure, calculus is a hard class, but he teaches it in a way you can really understand, step by step. The grade is made out of quizzes (problems picked from HW) and exams (with additional practice offered). Put in the work, attend his office hours and you're golden. Wish I could take him for Calc 3!
Great professor for Calc 2, I ended up taking him again for Differential Equations because I liked him so much. He explains things clearly, gives fair amount of homework and is very approachable if you do not understand something. Definitely take him if you can!
Professor Clark is a great professor but this course is plain hard. Be on top of your work, study hard and be diligent because if you do not this is going to be a very hard course for you. Clark is great but the content is really hard.
Bill was an all-around solid teacher. Lectures were very personable and easy to follow, and he was always willing to pause to answer questions or explain stuff. Also pretty consistent as far as scheduling hw and tests. Super reasonable guy. Made the material clear and simple. I would have done worse fs if he wasn't my prof. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic Teacher.
He's the best prof I've had!!! Would definitely recommend to everyone.
Best professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about seeing you succeed. He isn't the rush through the lesson type, he wants to make sure you learn. His tests are carbon copy of the homework. If he doesn't get to it in time, it won't be on the test. If you want to learn, take him. Most likely will take him for calculus 3, if he is teaching it!
One of the best math professors I've ever had. Cares about his students and exams are pretty easy. Doesn't assume you remember everything from previous math classes. If you're not great at math, take him.
A great professor that teaches in a clear and comprehensive manner. He really wants students to succeed.
He is a great professor that takes the time to go through all the steps. My only constructive criticism is I felt like at the beginning of the semester we went too slow and then had to speed up to make up for it. As long as you do the homework you will be in good shape. Make sure you do any extra credit if he offers it. I really enjoyed the class!
Professor Clark was one of the best Math teachers I've had in the last few years. He has amazing lectures that are informative and he teaches what's on his tests. If there is a topic he can't get to, it will not show up on the test. His homework is also doable every week and only one problem is collected for grading every Friday.
I took him based on the reviews below. I can confirm that they are all true. Take this professor if you can.
Professor Clark goes above and beyond to accommodate for his students. Despite having a tough semester on his end, he still makes time for guided reviews and has built-in contingencies for when misfortune happens for both ends. He treats all of his students like equal colleagues and shows a passion for teaching the class. Highly recommend.
Perhaps the best mathematics professor at Harper. Professor Clark really does care about students learning the material and will go above-and-beyond to make sure they have everything they need to succeed in the class. Exams are very similar (if not easier) to the review sheets and problem sets. Try to do oral exams with him as he is very helpful.
One of the best professors I've ever had. I took Calc 2 over the summer and Professor Bill turned me from someone who is very apathetic and frankly not very good at math, into someone who genuinely enjoyed every bit of Calc 2. He is an inspiration and should be the model every math teacher strives to be.
If you have to take any math class at Harper, just take him. He is the goat!
Easily one of my favorite professors I've taken at Harper. He's incredibly knowledgeable about Calc 2 and he's a great person as well. Also, his exams are not too difficult at all. If you show up to class and do the homework, you should have no problem with his exams. Definitely take him if you need to take calculus.
Took this guy twice. Best professor ever. If you do the homework, exams are easy. He gives great feedback and knows how to teach. Harper needs to give this guy the highest raise he can get
Best math professor you can take! Take if you are nervous about math.
Best prof ever! His lectures are super concise. His exams are kind of short and use questions that are the same as whats on the homework. If you reach out to him about anything you don't understand, he will help you. Mr Bill is a mathematical weapon.
Took Diff Eq with him over the Summer of 2024. Amazing professor, but somewhat difficult content, however if you attend lectures and do the homeworks you can get an A.
Professor Clark is a great teacher and really knows his stuff. His tests are reasonable for the course load, only containing around 10-12 questions per test. Grading on the test, for me, seemed to get stricter later in the semester when dealing with series, missing notation somewhere could get you docked quite a few points.
Professor Clark is a mathematical wizard! His lectures are super clear, and the exams are fair if you do the homework. I found Unstuckstudy really helpful for studying alongside the textbook. Definitely take his class if you need Calc 2.
I found the lectures to be comprehensive, concise, and engaging; Clark does an excellent job explaining proofs behind mathematical concepts and their applications. The course structure is very fair, and exams are derived from in-class practice as well as homework. If needed, there are extensive review sessions and online resources available.
He teaches well and takes the time so you understand it. Tests are fair and if you can do the homeworks, the tests are basically the same. Not much more to say, he's worth taking.
Content itself can be difficult, but he is very thorough with his explanations and wants you to understand the material. Office hours are very helpful, and he hosts review sessions for all of the exams. If you do the homework you're set, he takes assignments past the due date if you email him. Grading was very very fair in my opinion
He is accessible to reach out for office hours. His study guides are straightforward and similar to tests. He is flexible and works with you on homework and tests. He is easily the best math professor I've had.
Bill is an excellent teacher. Very clear and direct. He will even make time for you after class or before to explain anything you don't understand. He will let you retake tests if you mess up or aren't prepared. He says “FAIL stands for First Attempt In Learning”. He is very thorough! Take his combined class with Prof Cooper!
Bill is the best professor on campus; super kind and provides excellent, comprehensive lectures. The exams are derived from the homework, and there are available exam reviews/preparations. He truly cares about prioritizing student success, and I'd recommend this professor to anyone. Regardless of your background, he guarantees understanding.
Best math professor that Harper has to offer. He is all in for the students rather than just the pay, he actually cares about his students time and efforts.Overall, if you have the option to, please take this professor, miles better than the others in the math department, and it's not even close.
I'm a pre med so math isn't my strong suit but he made Calc 2 very easy to understand. Would def take another class with him.
Can get sassy in his email responses
Sooooo understanding! Study guides were just like the test. Replaced our lowest exam w/ the grade of our final, if we scored higher. Class content was hard, but Clark teaching it made it so much better.
