He tries too hard to be funny and occasionally makes weird comments out of the blue, like the flavor of a tootsie-pop I was eating once. He can be kinda boring sometimes and my friend and I had problems staying awake sometimes. He always gave quizzes in the last 10 minutes or so of class so we were rushing to get them done.

He's not good at all, constantly during class he makes errors and the students have to correct him. He can't even do simple addition, he couldn't even add 28+9. Unless you know what you're doing you're going to get lost and confused, you'd probably be better off teaching yourself the math course.

It is a very picky Professor. He gives out 4 points problems and mark the whole problem wrond if you forget to put in a little thing like what x and y represents or a negative sign. Out of the 30 students in my class... all but 10 drop.
