He is a smart teacher and he knows his math BUT this guy can not teach! I do not recommend him. There is so much to complain about.

First two weeks says he will not pick up hw in syllabus, 4 days before its due he changes his mind but says he will only count it as a completion. Upon hw turn in if u skipped one problem he didn't give u a completion grade, he gave a 0. So out of 50 questions if u skip one or two he gives u a zero instead of 98 or 96. Avoid this professor!!!

So unorganized! Seems like he did not prepare anything before class. Does not explain the material well. Does not give good notes to refer to. Very messy. Doesn't answer questions in a helpful manner. Doesnt use the book to explain but assigns homework from it. Gives unneeded info and then says there is not time for questions. Very frustrating!

My classmate asked EVERY question you could imagine, & we still did not understand it. He seems to try showing off what he knows, despite it NOT being relevant to the class. His test are VERY hard.He doesn't keep you updated about grade progress. He doesNOT permit graphing calculators. Thought I had passed the class until I checked my grade on ASAP

STAY FAR AWAY. His quizzes are 2-3 questions & very hard. Test are not multiple choice. Having to retake this class, despite studying hard and having a tutor.

VERY CONFUSING. Stay awaay.. his test were multiple choice & he used mymathlab & those two things saved me but i'm pretty sure i still failed. He's smart, you can tell. But he can NOT teach to save his life:/ He seems like a real nice guy but as a professor, no no.

He is literally the worst teacher I have ever had. He does not deserve to be called a Professor of a college level course because he honestly could not teach kindergarten. He is smart, but CANNOT teach. His quizzes are online and are only 4-5 questions, his tests are short as well. STAY AWAY. If you don't know how to do algebra already, dont take.

I am going to make an A or a B in his Business Calc with Algebra course only because I already know how to do most of the stuff. I feel terrible for the people who don't know how to do it, because he can't teach. AT ALL. Don't take this class unless you want to lower your GPA. Everything is on mymathlab, which sucks.

DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! He should not be a college professor. He doesn't review before an exam just gives you a review. Doesn't give enough examples of the material so when it's time to do the homework your lost. The homework is online and so are the quizzes, which are only like 4 questions. You have a to get at least a 85 on each hmwk to contin

All I have to say is that he obviously does not read the reviews on this website unfortunately. If he did, maybe he wouldn't be as terrible as he is.

WAY TOO MUCH HOMEWORK. YOU WILL WASTE YOUR LIFE ON HOMEWORK IN THIS CLASS

If your already weak in math as it is dont take this professor .. Talks vaguely on the information and just confusing .. Wish he would just get straight to the point .. Make class more interesting and teach what is necessary . I basically Had to teach my own self math.. Does mymathlab. I do not recommend this professor.

Worst math professor ever! DO NOT TAKE HIM!

He takes really easy concepts and makes them extremely confusing. He assigns impossible amounts of homework. His tests are next to impossible (on our first test the highest grade in the class of over 100 kids was a 73). The tests don't match the homework and he doesn't give a review. Don't waste your time.

His lectures are confusing and he makes way to many mistakes. At first, gave him the benefit of the doubt because he said he just became a teacher, but that was a huge mistake. Here is one example of how big of an asshat he is: He frequently gives examples that are incorrect called "non examples" while barely explaining what the correct way is

Stay away from him. Please he is the worst math teacher ever. If possible choose someone else, or take math at nvc. He can't teach to save his life. So confusing, always makes mistakes, uses his computer to lecture. Its bad almost everyone dropped his class, I stayed and i regretted that decision.

He makes a lot of mistakes while doing the lecture which makes you more confused. Assigns a LOT of homework A LOT! He doesn't explain well when you have a question, usually making it worse and more complicated. Whenever a class is behind he rushes the notes to get ahead and back on pace and doesn't allow questions. Don't take his class.

Not a good professor at all! He always explained examples incorrectly and then had to be corrected by his students, and this wasn't just once in a while. it was routine. He doesn't explain things with very much clarity. He definitely is NOT a good cal professor.

The only thing I can say is DO NOT TAKE HIM, YOU WILL REGRET

For the love of God don't take him. I dont even know how he got hired. Out of all my years in school he takes the cake for worst teacher.

Worse teacher ever, I have no idea how he got hired. If you want to fail and be stressed out all semester than go ahead and take this guy.

Horrible professor. He expects everyone to already know what he knows then skips sections to teach us and puts it in test. He is also not flexible or supportive with students. I would go in for tutoring and he presented the attitude that I was dumb. Also does not take into consideration that students take other classes also. AVOID AT ALL COST!!

This is the worst professor ever! Whatever you do, do not take him!!! This class was so stressful!!!!

Beware. Like everyone else is saying, I have no clue how he got hired. He takes simple algebra and turns it into a different language that no one can understand. When you ask questions, he dismisses you as if you're dumb. He is always making mistakes on his lectures, he speaks too quickly and skips steps so you can't even follow along, etc.

Reply confusing professor. He has a lot of "non examples" which doesn't make sense as to why he would show those. He gives so much homework on mymathlab, and his tests are nothing like the reviews he gives out.

If you are bad at math, I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this professor. His lectures are not well organized and his teaching style is very confusing. His grading changes ALL the times. He has many errors on his test as well as the FINAL. If you are excellent at mathematics, go for him if you want to risk your time and money. No idea how he was hired..

His lectures seldom reflect his homeworks, projects, and/or tests. He is seldom helpful. He comes into class complaining of the hours he works and fails to provide you with a good foundation of math. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH HIM AS A PROFESSOR. He should still not even be working here, he makes UTSA look bad.

If you have a hard time in math, do not take this professor. His tests are very hard, and he won't give you full credit unless you do the problem exactly how he wants you to. He doesn't give reviews, just long packets over the entire chapter. He also doesn't give extra days for homework assignments.

Really rude professor, if you're stuck or don't understand something don't bother asking because he'll make you look/feel dumb and not even answer you're question. He gets irritated if you don't understand too. Theres alot of hw/quizes on my mathlab. Spoke to others in other classes averages were all 40% and under. DON'T TAKE HIM!!

He is not a good professor at all. He is very rude when you ask questions in class. He does give extra credit when the majority of class doesn't show up, but that doesn't really help much. The exams are extremely hard and are nothing like the examples he teaches. Save yourself and do not take his class!

Always makes sarcastic comments that make no sense. Does not give clear instructions, treats students like five year olds. If you can take a more accesible and easygoing professor, do it.

if you have a hard time in math, then DO NOT take his class. The exams are hard and gives to much homework to do in a short time.

Hardest math class I have taken. Calculus is a hard subject to begin with, but he made it impossible. Class attendance is optional, but with someone with perfect attendance like me and still failing the exams even after studying for hours? Lectures have nothing to do with the online homework, or the tests. Refuses to give a final review guide AWFUL

Worst professor I've ever had! I have not come across a person that has made higher than a C in his class. He examples and homework are not helpful at all on the tests. He should have been fired.

Sharon is a peculiar old fellow, who gives tests that will have you wondering when he taught the content. The MML hw has no relevancy half the time to his tests. And will insult you after a question unless you sit in the front two rows. Make sure to read the textbook because his test questions are almost the same thing, and attend his office hours.

Doesnt go over examples well. Simply doesnt know how to teach. When you ask him something he acts like an ass.

Does not teach very well. Gives only examples without teaching actual material. Tests are nothing like the reviews.

I'm tearing up as I write this. This class has been the WORST experience ever. Zachary gives not only impossible assignments, but he also makes snappy comments when you ask about the content. His lessons are lengthy, and he literally makes you cram information to very last minute of class, with zero consideration of whether or not you understood.

You'll walk out with the same confused understanding of the subject. He's sarcastic & rude to the students for asking questions. He compares the class to dogs for being unresponsive when he asks questions directly. HW is noting like the lectures or exams. Continues to lecture if there are 2 sec left of class. Not a math person? Dont take his class!

Professor Sharon has to be the worst math professor that I have ever taken. Zachery has this rude quality whenever he speaks. He answers with "What?, I do not follow" or "Rephrase the question". He wastes time when he could actually be teaching. HW is nothing like the test. Get ready to rely heavily on the Calc lab or study sessions to help you

Tests are worth way too much in the grading average. Does not take time to go over student questions in class. Homework is completely unrelated to in class examples and tests. Makes examples very confusing. Does give extra credit, and dropped a test at least, BUT GIVES FINAL REVIEW 24 HOURS BEFORE FINAL EXAM.

ok so, DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is very rude, he doesn't give good examples, he goes off talking about random stuff that has nothing to do with the subject. He has been one of the worst professors i've ever had. Would i recommend him? never. In my opinion, he doesn't know how to teach.

Class confused me more than helped me and when students tried to ask questions he would make them feel stupid. I struggled BIG TIME in this class no matter how hard I studied or even went to tutoring sessions. I would feel like I had mastered the subject and still get 50's on the tests. I don't know why I didn't drop.

If you like teaching yourself, putting in heavy hours after class, and getting tested on some unrelated subjects, take this guy!

Professor Sharon has his own textbook, with only Cal 2 standard questions & definitions. So, if you have taken calculus before I think you can be successful in this class, otherwise this class is extremely difficult. He lacks communication skills and is determined to belittle you when asking a question in class. I have no idea why he is teaching.

Pros: sometimes extends hw deadlines, can give helpful study tips, explains better during office hours, extended time for exam review. Cons: very rude, sarcastic, lies about grades, doesn't curve, belittles you when you ask questions, confusing lectures, final is insanely hard and no studying can help. In conclusion, try to avoid as much as you can

Does not really review what going to be on the test hardest professor I have ever taken

Awful

I've taken tough prof before but non like him. He is honestly rude to some students in my class that answered or asked a wrong question. At the time of registration I didn't know about choosing prof, if I did I for sure wouldn't take his class. Literally anyone else but him unless you already have knowledge of cal.

He belittles students who have questions, he's a very tough grader. Not a nice guy. Also if you go to his office hours just know he's very awkward. Take anyone else but this guy.

Think twice before getting this class if you're okay or bad at math. Hwk questions are really different compared to lectures . Reviews are not similar to test, and get ready for a killer final. If you stink at math and hvn't taken a math class recently, rip. Lectures just felt like they dragged and not the best to teach calc to business students.

Prof Sharon never responds to emails and never answers GroupMe. There are A LOT of assignments and he doesn't really tell you when they're due. If you miss an assignment he doesn't let you make it up. The homeworks are long and the tests have very short time limits for the amount of material you need to solve out.

Prof. Sharon is the rudest professor i have had. he belittles anyone who ask him questions, and does not care if you are confused. he is a hard grader and does not give good feedback. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

SO. MUCH. HOMEWORK. YET SO LITTLE ACTUAL TEACHING. He gives retries on tests but that doesn't really matter when he gives an insane amount of homework. He gives more homework in 1 week than my other 4 classes combined.

class literally just started and he gave us homework without explaining anything basically "you should know that " gtfo

If there is another option, take it. I hardly ever leave reviews, but this warrants one Tests are 55% of your grade, if you don't pass them you cannot pass the class. He gives zero partial credit on tests. Only about 20% of the homework was covered in class. It was a 80% self taught class pretty much He is a very smart man, but not a good teacher

I wouldn't recommend this professor. His class alone made me re-consider my choice of going to UTSA.

This professor is by far the worst professor they have at UTSA! He takes months to grade exams and lies about them. I even reported him to the department chair and they just took his side. Do not take him ever find anyone else to take him don't make the same mistake I did.
