What Students Say

Bad Professor, his tests are hard, expects you to do it his way, or else he will take off, and his online hw & quizzes are nothing to what he teaches you in class, so you're basically teaching yourself again, and when he teaches in class, you can't read his handwriting because its all bad, even he confessed it

He gives worksheets for each section, but you should get 100 on everyone cuz he helps you and you can cheat/work in groups. Math XL kinda sucks but isn't a big part of the grade. the tests are the worst part. but if you study thoroughly you'll be fine.

"Master" Sweet is nice. His homework and quizzes are online and they are more difficult than what we do in class. Just do the homework and the study plan online and you will do fine on the quizzes. He grades on a 1000 point scale, so if you are going to miss points, try to miss them on the tests because you can't make those up. 900-1000 points = A

Math was my best subject, and in his class I was failing. His tests and homework are nothing like his lectures. He doesn't teach very well either.

Not very helpful. I asked for help to "bridge the gap" between the math he was teaching and what I learned last semester and he told me "sorry your last professor sucked".

He has a very dry sense of humor. his class is hard and on the test it is his way or the highway because you get points taken off or just get it completely wrong if you do not do it his way or if you do not show one step.

Class is challenging, if only because of the grading policies. He will take points off for every little mistake in notation in your work, even if your answer is 100% correct. For lecture he gives a large math definition and then does about 2 examples before moving on to the next topic. I would recommend him only if you are familiar with calculus.

Everyday take notes. At least once a week there's an in-class pop quiz, but sometimes these quizzes are "participation quizzes" that give you extra credit if you get it right. He's a laid back guy. He has online homework and quizzes and the homework sheets he hands out in class are optional. I would do these though because these are test questions.

Professor Sweet is great. As long as you do the homework and pay attention then it is an easy A. He explains things very well and is very helpful if there is something you don't understand. Homework can be redone until you get an A, and as long as you understand the basics of the material then the tests are a breeze. Great professor.

He leaves time at the end of every class to help any students, will give online homework, but will help with all of it if you ask.

Sweet is a pretty chill prof. There's online homework frequently but if you manage your time well it shouldn't be horrible. He gives attendance quizzes which are an easy 100 if you're there. If you aren't a math person like me, DON'T SKIP. He does post notes online, but it can be difficult if you have to teach it to yourself.

Mr. Sweet was a good teacher, it was just that the course was extremely hard. We started with 30 and finished with 11 people. Mr. Sweet taught the material pretty well, but it was just a lot to cover in a short period of time that made it so fast. When we would finish lecture he would give us a worksheet and help us with it if we needed the help.
