Good teacher, explains things really well. For a math teacher he has a good sense of humor too, which is refreshing. He isn't afraid to make subtle jokes about his colluges and higher ups as well as share some funny personal stories. He doesn't really follow the book, and creates his own worksheet packets, but you'll learn the same material.

Trunks is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. I took AP Stats in highschool and a lot of it was way over my head, but those same concepts seemed as clear as day when he explained them! Doing your homework is important for this class! It can make or break your grade, and it's all pretty easy. Don't slack on it like I did!!!

Not only does he teach the material well, he also give real world examples that show how and when the math is used. He tells great stories during his lectures that somehow relate to the topics, but also are a refreshing break. 10/10!!

I would recommend this professor, he gives a lot of example when teaching which is very helpful and very clear. instead of giving out study guide for the test he will exaplain and write it all down on the board. He also provide a sheet with all the formula use in the class all the homework are printed out and easy to access. hw & notes are helpful.

While it's true that he's a good teacher I was disappointed to discover that unfortunately he isn't a very nice person. He once said to me, "Usually it's my class that puts people to sleep." Not a very humble attitude to have and frankly it's a little offensive like he thinks he's somehow more cognitive or more human than his students.

He makes things so easy to understand, and he does an awesome job of explaining how the stuff you learn is relevant in the real world. Hes really funny, tells great stories, and really prepares you well for Calc 2.

He was a bright spot during this pandemic semester. His all online class was extremely organized and clear, which I appreciated during the confusion of having 5 online formats that were not always the clearest. Each week includes 2 ten minute videos that show you clear ways to solve problems. Homework not graded. Great online teacher

There are a lot of real life problems that you solve which made it easy for me to comprehend & maintain the material.

Took his Calc 1 class fully in person. Amazing teacher! Class lectures are example driven which were easy to follow. It also follows what's on the HW and tests. There's no quizzes and tests were take-home (he wanted it to be in-person but it couldn't work). Homework is not on Pearson and he provides the answers for the problems. Loved his class! :)
