Mathematics
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
He has a funny quirky sense of humor, I think he assumes we are retarded so does simple examples over and over, but overall, not a bad prof. His class can be entertaining, and hey, about showing our work, you can still get a good grade even if you get all the answers wrong! That's not a bad thing.
Positive:
Has enthusiasm in the classroom
Comes to class organized
Negative:
Expectations are unclear or lofty
This guy failed me on a math quiz because I "did not show enough work." He basically told me I cheated on my test, because what I did was not possible. I then proved him wrong, right in front of him, with the same question, and he said "Well now you know for next time." It did not even say show your work, for basic algebra type stuff. So he fails me for something that is very possible to actually do, yet, if you show work and get the wrong answer, you can get up to 80%ish partial credit. Wow, I thought this was math, not english.
