He is a nice professor!! He makes you like MATH if you don't like it!!! he is nice person!!
No Comments
I honestly think that Professor Saltsman is a very hard working teacher who helps students understand math in a way that you could not believe how easy math could be. So if you dont understand math take Prof.Saltsman he is great honestly he is. Sincerly D.W
this is a very good teacher he drops your lowest grade and replaces your lowest score with the final if its better so it counts twice and he is always there for help! bad thing is he keeps you in class the whole time. Otherwise he's good and understandable i failed his class though because of laziness. professor Saltman you rock.
His tests come directly from the hmwk, however he does not teach the material. If you can't teach yourself fm the bk, then I do not recommend taking him. He is a bit boring but really nice. Keep up with the hmwk and you should be ok. It isn't easy but isn't hard.
Extremely nice guy, tests are right from the homework, always willing to help his students, great math teacher, i would recommend him to anyone.
This professor teaches opposite to what the norm is.First the homework is done,then where you have difficulties,you ask questions in the next class. Prof will then go over every questionable problem. He explains thoroughly and patiently. His exams are very fair and he grades accordingly.I really enjoyed his southern laid back approach to teaching.
He is a very good teacher. He makes math very approachable. If you attend class and listen, you can pass his class with ease. He's very realistic and objective with the grades. I enjoyed his class very much.
Just do your homework to get an A on tests. First, study homework. Then ask questions about it. It is very easy to pass that course. Tests are so easy yo won't believe it. Highly recommended.
very nice personality. he is not a "TEACHER". he dosent teach at at all. justs assigns homework. the next class(for the entire class) is spent reviewing homework questions. review for tests(dont count on it) would not recommend
Wonderful man great teacher. No tricks on tests no games no family talks just pure mathematics. If you study the homework he gives you there is no way you can fail. With him no stress just smiles.
NO TEACHING WHAT SO EVER!!!!!! Only assigns homework!! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.
Prof. Saltsman obviously understands math very well but the way he teaches so slowly it makes you lose track of what is going on. He does drop your lowest test grade tho and lets the final take place of another test grade if it will help you. Easy class if you know what your doing already.
He is boring but its easy to get an A in his class! He doesn't really teach that much, you have to use the book to learn! However, he doesn't take attendance, doesn't check homework, and all grades come from the tests. But he drops your lowest test score, and gives partial credit on tests if you rewrite the problem. ITS HARD TO FAIL HIS CLASS!
He doesn't teach! If you are bad in math, don't take this class! Soooo confusing! He talks so slow, you're lucky you get through 3 problems within 1 1/2 hours!
BORING!!! he takes the whole hour to do 4 examples... 5 if ur lucky. when he explains the problems he goes over EVERY step... which is very helpfull if ur terrible at math. i personaly would finish the problem b4 he was a quarter of the way thru n took a nap n still woke up b4 he was done...
Very slow but easy to pass.
He doesnt take att. and has no max absence. Don't go and teach yourself or go and teach yourself. I chose the former after attending two weeks every day and not learning a thing. So I just spent my time in the tutor lab read the book and took his tests.But if you need a math prof that holds yourhand he is not for u. I finished with an A. EZ TESTS!
45 minutes to go over 2 homework problems! That's all he does is assign homework and then the next day he reviews maybe 3 problems if he is moving fast. He starts examples on one side of the board then draws a line to the opposite side of the board to continue, then draws a line to the next portions next to the first.... etc. F-
He looks and talks like a fat Napoleon Dynamite. He spends an hour on one HW question from the night before! So, technically he does'nt lecture what's on the HW and teaches it the next day! He is slow, impossible to understand, BORING!! And he wonders why people get up and leave in the middle of class! If you are retarded then, take him!!
boring!!! but will answer all your questions no matter how many times u ask. tests are easy. bring something to do during his class they are long and boring. if u can stay half awake u will pass, but if not dont take him
Be concerned about the way at which he approaches the subjects we need to learn for the class. He mainly provides each class with a new homework assignment each class, and for the following class u are allowed to ask questions if any. I find that he has no planed curriculum or lesson for each day. The worst part to all this is he gives no basis for
Boring class! I didn't show up for almost a week and I still did well (I'm lucky like that) but the rest of the class didn't do as hot without trying. You'll have to teach yourself and try not to fall asleep in class. Tests are easy (10 questions from the homework) and final is 10 questions from the other tests. Take if you don't mind being bored.
It takes him 20-30 mins to do one problem. You will not go over any new information on the day he assigns it because he does not leave himself any time. So you get to teach yourself and you better hope you are good at it because when he does finally get to the information he will only have time to do 2 or 3 problems. He is boring and terrible!!!
the sweetest person ever easy class and easy test b/s they all come from the exercises we do in class yes he is boring but come on this class is so easy and im so bad at math i got an A and i even miss one of the test and in the others i got like 75 and 80 but he drop the lowest score of the 4 tests,he is easy grading
takes forever to do a single problem that at times becomes annoying but his thouroghness pays off on test days. also gives partial credit
He was one of the most helpful professors and he conveys his knowledge well.
Professor is extremely talkative, but teaching methods work.
He rambled alot. was not clear. I went to the mathlab almost every time it was open and still on test day would look at his tests and be like what is this? I showed the lab tutors his test and they said even they would have gotten confused. He hand writes in his tests in big handwriting and in cursive. He does not teach, instead he wants you t
Mr Saltsman is a great teacher; well spoken and precise. He explains everything thoroughly and his tests are a breeze. Highly recommended!
vERY GOOD TEACHER. IF YOU ATTEND CLASS THERE IS NO WAY TO FAIL. I WISH I COULD HAVE TAKEN ALL MY CLASSES WITH HIM.
He was my savior in exempting the Math CLAST Part. I needed a B average to exempt the Math Part. I got an A average in his Math class. I wished he taught STA2023 & College Algebra. Very Good teacher I recommend him to anyone.
He's a great professor. He lets you know what is going to be covered on the test. The test is only ten questions. He makes sure you understand the material before he moves on. He really cares about the students. If you need an easy A take him.
The teacher is easy but sometimes its hard to understand him it takes him a while to explain one problem but he is thourgh this is my second time taking him. he is good for people who is not to strong in math.
He only assigned 3-6 easy problems for each section and the tests were even easier. Even then it took him half an hour to solve each problem. Take him for an easy A or if you need someone to hold you hand while he shows you what (-1)*(-1) is. No kidding.
I recommend him to anyone who's not a math person. Trust me I hate math. I don't pass my math classes I always withdrawl. At 1st I was, I am so glad I didnt, I got a B in his 1107 class. Now I dont have to take the clast.
Very confusing and unorganized teaching style. He confused me about concepts I had previously learned in previous math courses and made learing new concepts even more confusing. He takes the most simple concept and over explains it to the point to where he leaves the class feeling confused. I do not recommend!
I do so horrible in math. This was my First A ever! Only take him if you are bad at math like me. The ppl who don't need the extra help got frustrated in class. IF you need help please take him & you can't fail.
easy a! must do all homework which is not a problem b/c he doesn't assign very much. tests are directly from homework and classwork.
He is an intelligent person, calculus is a very difficult subject. He spends an excessive amount of time on each proof. But if you pay attention and follow you'll understand. I would RECOMMEND him to anyone who needs calculus.
Excellent teaching ability. Will take again if he teaches higher math courses!
Cool professor and takes time to explain the problem. Th tests are easy as long as you do the problems for the homework. The professor is willing to help after class if you have any math problems you do not understand. I never thought I would say this but I am going to miss this math class.
THIS TEACHER IS BORING BUT ITS MATH WAT CAN U EXPECT. PUT HE IS SO HELPFUL ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK..VERY FLEXIBLE ABOUT MISSING DAYS JUST HAVE A REALLY GOOD EXCUSE. RECOMMENED TO EVERYONE
very helpful teacher! knows his stuff. he is very nice and isn't strict about attendance but as long as you go everyday and do homework you should be in good shape. he goes over homework daily and tests are not multiple choice. i recommend him to anyone who struggles with math!
OMG! He is great. I have never been good when it cmes to math and he makes me feel brillant. I have never had a math class that I got an easy A in. I do admit that he is a bit repetitve but it helps. If you go toclass and do the homework its an easy A.
Math class was soooo boring sometimes because he is repetitive, but it is good practice for the tests. He is a very nice guy and is willing to give extra help to all that need it and ask. I recommend him.
Professor saltsman is a great professor his is very helpful and amkes sure everybody would understand the material. This class is not a easy class, you have to do HW to pass his test, all the test is base on the HW. So study and you should get a A or B in this class.
The professor is very clear and takes his time explaining the material. He gives 4 test and 1 final. out of the 4 test he drops the lowest and also drops the lowest out of the 3 test and doubles the final exams test if it help. i would recommend this professor, especially for math.
Such a sweet heart...He truly cares about his students and wants them to pass. Will go out of his way to help if you need it. Very repetitive and that helps retain the information. A++++ teacher.
Very nice teacher, I don't like math at all since its my worse subject but if you try hard he sees that you are trying your best he will give you a decent grade. Very repetitive but he wants to make sure you understand. Do your homework b/c its actually going to be on the test and the final is actually the tests that you have done. Good Professor!
Highly recommended!!! He actually makes one enjoy math. Never imagined I could pass Calulus. Prof. Saltsman made that possible.
Great reviews, and might be a good teacher, but HORRIBLE FOR TRIGONOMETRY.. PLEASE DONT TAKE TRIGONOMETRY with him. It's been 4 days since class started and from 40 we are down to 25.. Im dropping/withdrawing as we speak!!He takes 1h 45min explaining 1 problem, then in 5min teach the next section.. like wth?? when asked Qs, he replies"sorry" 4days.
He is very nice professor and cares alot for his students but he spends alot of time going over homework problems rather than covering new material, those students can get help elsewhere instead of using up the classtime.. he drops a test grade and allows a final to replace one and the test cant get any easier STRAIGHT out of the HW Easy A if u try
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I was HORRIBLE in math and I passed with a B!! He is an amazing teacher and actually LOVES what he does! Would totally Recommend!
Really slow teacher, spends way too much time on a single problem. I am excellent at math, and on days when I did go to class, he totally confused me. If your retarded at math then take this professor, if your average or above DO NOT!! He drops the lowest test grade, but he DOES NOT GIVE OUT STUDY GUIDES FOR THE TESTS which makes them really hard.
No multiple choice here. You must show your work on the tests. He drops lowest grade. Spends all his time going over homework problems. Do your homework and you will do fine. Good over all and very clear
I took this class because to prepare myself for college algebra. This professor is sweet he really cares about the students but in all honesty he shouldn't be teaching college students. I think he may be autistic. He got really angry at most of the students. Very unprofessional. I took him because of the ratings from here. Did not like him at all.
I've never been a math person. I thought that by having a professor who takes you step by step would help, but it was too slow. Math doesn't always click, but even I know some basics. A lot of time was spent on one problem, and I learn by seeing multiple examples. Nice guy, just went too slow.
VERY easy only five test of only ten questions. he drops the lowest test grade and he doesn't take attendance
Other than teaching a bit slow and going over EVERY single step to a problem, you have to appreciate the fact that he teaches ALL THE STEPS so for a person who sucks at math, all A's on his tests are possible :). 10 question tests that come from homework assignments so get the gist of what you learned from each chapter. A's in math are possible wit
He is an EXCELLENT professor!!! I've waited 2 years just to take him bc his classes were always fulled, thats how good and great of a teacher he is!!! Do yourself a favor and take the Saltman!!
EASY!! He is the best! If you want to get an A you have to take his class. He is very clear and explains everything if we dont understand something! Tests are super easy!!! Best math teacher ever!!!!
I took him for summer. teacher is extremely easy. do the hw and the tests are easy. multiple choice in fact. He talks like Ben Stein, very monotone but is helpful. Takes forever on 1 problem. wouldn't recommend him if you fall asleep easily.
he is very easy and teachers so slow but he DOES NOT prepare you for the final at all!!!! this was my second time taking this class and now i have to take it again! thanks to not being prepared
Professor Saltsman is a very nice guy.His teaching method is so clear.One of the best math teachers. He's kind of slow but worth it.
take him he is the best teacher. pre calc is not an easy class but i was lazy hardley did any homework and still pulled of a B in his class. all his exams are 10 questions and he tells u exactly what will be on the test there are no surpurises.....take him and u can fail
i meant take him and u cant fail the class. also attendance is not mandatory which is a plus
He's a good person at heart ,but he is too slow. He takes forever on one problem and rushes through the last 10-15 minutes to teach the new lesson. Some of the test problem seems like something you was not prepared for because he doesn't give study sheet. You must do the homework and know it 100% so you won't have to guest (A-b-OR C). Good luck.
he's HORRIBLE! Doesn't teach so ur on ur own. Does not give lesson, only shows how to work a few problems. The test are only 10 questions and they are DIFFICULT! I'm an A student but this is the only C I've ever gotten! Worst teacher ever!
not an easy A, you either the material or do a educated guess. I'm sure there are worse teachers than him.
He's a good professor. Goes step by step with problems. A tad boring, but when you go to him for help or pay attention, you can do well on his tests. Tests usually 10-12 questions, if you go to him before the test he'll tell you exactly what's on the test.
He is sooooo boring he can't teach don't take him. He takes forever on one problem and his tests are multiple choice but only 10 questions. I'm taking him for summer A and he sucks. I ADVISE YOU DON'T TAKE HIM
Great teacher!
He takes a while to explain a problem, do homework or teach but when he gets there he's clear on his explanations. I took him over the summer for 6 weeks and got an A, and i'm terrible at Math! Take him if you're patient!
Take him if you can't stand math and are just trying to get the required credits. All classwork is directly relevant to the tests. 12 questions, 3 choices each. Easy. Boring, monotonous, and redundant, but it's an easy A if you just sit and take notes.
This is an easy A. All you have to do is go to class, take notes and do the homework. He gets questions from the homework and uses them on the tests. I hate studying and I loved his class. He explains everything clearly and takes his time. He can be boring but he's a good professor. Easy A!
GREAT TEACHER!!! EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND VERY NICE AND UNDERSTANDING. ATTENDANCE HE DOESNT TAKE AND UR GRADES ARE BASED ON HIS 4 TESTS AND THE FINAL. HE DOES NOT GIVE HONMEWORK BUT HE SENDS YOU HOME WITH PRACTICE AND HE IS VERY PATIENCE AND MAKES U UNDERSTAND THE WORK.
easy to learn but beware have to be very patient with him. he tend to repeat everything atleast 5 times but other then that he is easy going
He is a good professor explaining things as many times as needed. In comparison with other professors he is straight forward with assignments letting you know what you suppose to learn. His tests are very easy just do the homework. Also, do not miss the classes before the tests because he is going to tell what you are going to be tested on.
Easy teacher, easy class. Never did my homework or studied for a test and I passed with a B.
He's an excellent professor. He is patient and takes his time to go over every single question. All you need to do is go to class and do the homework and you'll have an A.
YOU HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF the only good thing is that homework and labs are not mandatory
he is amazing, slow, repetitive but all to your advantage. He tells you exactly what to study.
Hwe is patient,slow, repetitive but all to your advantage. He tells you exactly what to study and he goes over every thing. He teaches in his own way there is no short cut to the promblem he does it the long way, but you will pass. If you don't get an A something is wrong with you.
He is such a sweetheart. He repeats himself alot but other than that he is a awesome teacher
Incredibly boring. Doesn't explain the problems; he only works them out. I got more help and interest out of Youtube videos. I don't recommend him at all.
This Professor is nice but horrible at teaching! He was late to every class. I had to teach myself by reading from the book. I definitely did NOT get my monies worth .... If I could fire him I would! He repeats himself OVER and OVER and OVER,and kind of has a stutter.He spends the entire class going over the homework from the prior class.Got an A+
This guy is something else.His tests are multiple choice,12 questions,only three options for answers:A,B,or C.No idea what he is doing.He spent two classes talking about the syllabus.TWO CLASSES. Super easy A.Learn Nothing.100 on first test.Swaps highest test for lowest score.Left halfway through semester.Guild became new professor.(He's Awesome)
