Great professor! Very intelectual and made precalculus easy to understand and follow. My class ended up scoring the highest out of all the precalc classes and it was all thanks to Mr. Forrest. Highly Recommend!!!

He's super thorough with his lectures and makes learning new material a walk in the park. He's makes a lot of quirky jokes but you can tell he genuinely enjoys teaching and cares about being a good professor. Used iclicker in class so I always attended class.

Mr. Forrest is such a great math professor. As someone who is not a fan of math, I genuinely enjoyed his class. I would recommend this professor to anyone! Definitely take him if he is an option.

I had a great time with Professor Forrest. His classes tend to be more full, so you don't really get individual time and participation is not mandatory. You just have to show up to his Blackboard lectures and do the homework.

Absolute icon. His video lectures helped me a lot and his black board collaborations were just to discuss questions people had about problems. I learned more math in this class than I have in high school.

One of the best professors I have ever had. He makes you want to come to class and the lectures give you everything you need to succeed and pass the class

Math isn't my strong suit but I've learned probably much more on MLP (mostly because our tests are on that platform). Such a cool professor though! Makes you want to go to class -- would've loved to have him in person. 4 tests and 1 final (one gets dropped). Video quizzes and MLP HW and quizzes mostly due twice a week - not too bad. Great course!

he really is just a good man. i really liked him. he does assign a good deal of homework but it is necessary for you to understand the material. hes patient, calm, understanding, & drops A LOT. he wants you to learn & succeed.

Professor Forrest is a really calm and composed man and answers questions with patience. He made sure that none of his students had to receive a lesser grade in the class due to glitch in the university grading system. He's a good man and laid back person.

Great teacher. The grading just got to be very complicated and had lots of students worried because of the constant grade changes in the last week. Not his fault just wish it was more organized. Go to class bc of the clickers! And do mlp!

Professor Forrest is understanding and is always willing to clarify questions in the online lectures and by email. Pre-calc itself is something you shouldnt get behind in but Forrest assists in ensuring you do well. He was the best professor I had. Make sure you stay up to date with MLP (online homework and quizzes) and lowest exam is dropped.

So I previously stated the "AWFUL NEVER ANSWERS EMAILS". To clarify, I am writing this after the semester and a lot has changed since then. He does not respond to every single email if he clarified it in some way through an announcement. He really cares about his students and really does want to see them succeed in this class if you're willing to.

Toom him for Precalc and wish I could take for every single math after that. He tries his hardest to reach everyone and if you have questions about anything feel free to ask him in class when not lecture and he's always more than happy to answer. Funny guy who loves math

Very kind professor. The whole class loved him and rightfully so. If you have the opportunity, take him. He drops a lot. We mostly learned material from prerecorded youtube videos he provided. The live classes were more of working out problems people needed help with but they were fun.

Math is not going to be a big part of my career, so I wanted the easiest math class I could find. Professor Forrest is hands-down the best math instructor I've ever had! He makes the content so easy to understand. Last semester, he put lectures in quizzes to ensure we watched them, and online class times were for our q's. He's better than cool-ish!

This dude is such a gem. He is extremely accessible and friendly, he really cares about making sure you understand the content. Since I'm taking this course online, I was a bit hesitant at first, especially considering I'm not usually the best at math. But I was pleasantly surprised with this course. He's also pretty witty. Definitely recommend.

This guy is hilarious and such a great professor! I hate math but he made it way more understandable and enjoyable. The content is very easy and hes a good explainer if youre confused, the homework and quizzes are also pretty easy. I highly recommend.

He's such a fun professor, I usually hate precalc but I ended up looking forward to this class

He goes out of his way to provide multiple ways for students to reach him outside of class to make sure if you have a question you can always ask it before the test. The work is dull but he tries to make it fun and is always cracking jokes in class. He works fast but if you ask him a question he is more than happy to help.

The guy is so chill and gives us so many opportunities to fix our grades with makeup points if the class does badly on an exam. You can see he truly cares for the work he does and he is one of the best professors I have seen in my college experience so far. Junior retaking precalc.

During lectures, he tends to over complicate things, but he is also very good at reading the room and telling when no one understands what he is saying. Livens up class with jokes and stories, and is always offering opportunities to get extra credit and understanding the material.

He's a pretty fair professor but if you take him, be prepared to teach yourself the material. He goes over the basic principles and lectures about theory instead of teaching you how to actually do the problems. He assigns a ton of work on mymathlabs due every Friday and Sunday so don't fall behind on those. I do like that the final is optional.

Very chill. Kind of like if a dad and a dog got combined into one person. Teaches a lot of theory behind concepts, which can either be very helpful or just confusing. Uses MyMathLab, so make good usage of that, study and practice and you'll do fine. Notes are given to you.

I loved him as a professor he was very understanding and drops our lowest test and homework grade at the end of the semester. only issue I had was that he never finished his lectures and relied YouTube videos, and my lab homework assignments to teach us.

This teacher has a very good personality in my opinion, he is very goofy and entertaining. The class was obviously not that easy, but I honestly learned the majority of my information on MML in their Multimedia Library. The class was more of an introduction to the topics and we have to figure out the rest on our own. Which is college :(

loved him as a person but absolutely hated precalc. the assignments were difficult and my roommate who was in the class with me taught me almost of the info, but professor forrest was a great guy

Dr Forrest as a person is great. He's a really chill, funny dude. However, the flipped nature of this classroom is the downfall. Not his choice, but it makes the class as a whole a nightmare. I like him as a person, but the class is just terrible.

Professor Forrest is a really good professor 4 exams (one dropped) just go to class and do the in class activities and pay close attention the syllabus and smart lab schedule and you'll be fine.

Honestly, MAC1147 with him is not as bad as people say. Just stay on top of things like SmartLab Assignments, and lecture activities. It is a lot of self teaching, but the resources are there for you. This is my 2nd time taking precalc for bettering my GPA, luckily it went very well.

Took in summer, not a hard class but the flipped learning can be hard if your not used to teaching yourself. Hes a good teacher and if talk to him, hell help you with the questions. A lot of stuff gets dropped( save ur grade) and the study guide are the questions on the test. Got a A+ and I did 6 weeks. Definitely a full time job.

Precalc would be wonderful if Forrest was allowed to teach. The flipped classroom style is terrible, I learned more by practicing on MyMathLab than i did from Prof Cs youtube videos. Lots of dropped grades allow for a decent grade in this class, but be prepared to teach yourself nearly everything. extra credit is offered if you miss 5 classes.

This class isn't easy by any means but I think he does a pretty decent job of explaining. (when he actually does) His lectures are only about 15 minutes long then the rest was working on worksheets with partners. They grade notes for completion which is easy. Tests aren't easy but if you study the material it isn't impossible to get a good grade.

With other comments the teaching style is confusing, but if you ask question and go to office hours it shouldn't be a problem. Attendance is mandatory through class activities, but 10 are dropped through the semester. Lectures are helpful and he is very caring outside of class. This course does have a lot of mandatory SMART lab work.

If you're diligent in attending the Smart Labs, doing notes, and completing the lecture quizzes on Canvas then this class is good. There is a lot of room for error in the sense that he waives a certain amount of the lecture quizzes, Smart Lab attendances (etc.). Attend and complete the packets with your group, do the assignments, you'll be golden.

Overall, he doesn't lecture too much in person and he tries to make sense of everything for people. You are responsible for watching the lectures on YouTube by Mr. C before attending class. Attendance is graded and participation on in class group packets are also a major grade factor. He is a sweet and funny person with a passion for math.

Professor Forrest somehow actually made me enjoy coming to math classes this semester. The inverted lecture style works perfectly with how I learn. The only complaint I have with this class is the way that Smart Lab is done, but that's a subject-wide issue, not anything to do directly with professor Forrest.

Go to ALL the lectures! He will answer all your questions, I recommend the 2-3pm slot. Its later in the day but its right before his office hours if you have even more questions. If you want to bond with him make math jokes. On paper attendance isn't mandatory, but the HW you do in class is graded so it technically is counted.

I'm gonna be straightforward. IF YOU WANT AN A IN THE CLASS YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK HARD. That being said. Prepare to treat this class like a part-time job. There is a LOT of coursework (I think in the semester there were about 150 assignments.) Exams are 60% of your entire grade. Pros: each midterm you get 2 takes. 1/5 exams can be dropped.

This class is genuinely extremely difficult and you will HAVE to pay attention if you want to end up with anything higher than a B. that being said you can get away with not having to study too hard to the exams since you have 2 takes for each one. something that really helped me throughout the course was reviewing the tests after each first try.

Attendance at Smart Lab mandatory every week. Flipped classroom so you learn outside and practice in the classroom. He drops A LOT of grades at the end though (quizzes, hw, attendance, 1 exam, this could be the final). If you miss less than 4 classes, 4% IS ADDED TO YOUR FINAL GRADE !!

The flipped class method sucks, but it's not him its course wide so I can't even blame him. He's a smart professor, really into mathematics and if you ask questions you will definitely get answers. The class requires a lot of effort but if you put in the effort you will do well- and im not even good at math. 4% extra credit for good attendance.

This class is one of the hardest. There are TONS of homework and your grade is mostly based on the exams you will be taking during the semester. The professor is always there to help, he is very nice and understandable. The good thing about his class is that at the end of the semester, you get to drop some of your lowest grades and one exam.

The class is really tough itself, the professor is nice and he makes the class a bit easier, however, the class is based on you learning with videos and going to the SmartLab. The professor is only there to give you the daily group assignment and answer any questions anyone has. I'd say he doesn't really teach, he is just a very nice professor.

zach himself is a super chill guy who completely understands the student life.lots of opportunity's to save your grade. He sometimes explains things way too complicated when they don't need to be also hated the flipped lecture but heard it going away starting fall 2024 idk.

Dr. Forrest is super funny and likeable. He tries his best to make sure every student understands the material. He doesn't go too fast and drives home important points rather than assuming you know it like many other professors. Wish I could have him for all math classes.

2 hws and 2 quizzes due every week,1 exam every few weeks. Quizzes must be taken in the smart lab which is a pain but it's not really the professor's fault. He doesn't do the flipped classroom method anymore, so all the learning is in the classroom. Answers questions and explains thoroughly, but sometimes overcomplicates things. Not hard to pass.

Very passionate about math and it shows in his lectures!! Sometimes he overcomplicated the material, but he did a good job explaining how to do things. Sometimes the way he explained it didn't match up with the Pearson way of doing things, but he was still very helpful and answered questions before and after class. Some extra credit available too

Professor Zach is a super chill guy who really understands the student struggle. His class has a unique flipped format, but with the help of unstuck ai and the textbook, you can navigate it well. Lots of chances to boost your grade - just stay engaged!

Incredible professor. I am not mathematically inclined but this professor helped me to get through this course. Genuine dude, and always willing to clarify information.
