Worst professors I've ever had!
Although I do not know how he is in his other classes (I've heard he's better in the lower levels), for Math Modeling he was flat out awful. He graded very difficult and very slowly. We didn't get our first test back until the Friday before finals week. He came right out and said that he was not a teacher; he was a mathematician. He was definitely right. He is not consistant in his teaching methods (using different methods than what he showed us initially to answer questions later). He seemed to have either very poor time management or a severe lack of interest in teaching his classes. All in all, this class was a very disappointing experience. And for those he think I'm so negative about him and the class because of my grade, let it be known that I expect to get at worst a B in the class. He may be better for lower level classes (no knowledge to judge), but I do not recommend him for any upper level course.

I gave him an F for the F he gave me ha. Avoid this professor at all costs, unless you have a deep understanding of the subject. Very hard grader, the most boring class I ever took. I did not miss a single class did all the work and still didn’t pass the class, I did every thing he told me. I didn’t know what else to do. I am now retaking the course with a different professor and am now receiving an A in the class ha. DO NOT TAKE THIS PERSON!

At first I didn't mind the guy. I mean giveing pop quizzes once a week a bad enough. Then at the end of the semester he decides that since we are a little behind so cram THREE MONTHS worth of stuff into two weeks. Seriously he went so fast that none of the class could understand half of the stuff. Wait none of the class was ever there anyways. Put it this way... I was doing fine.. going to class everyday and understanding the material... but then he went off the deep end and was going way to fast for anyone to even understand anything! Plus when it did come to the final he didnt even give us a good idea on what it was going to be about. I studied my ass off, and half the the stuff I was studying wasn't even on the final! The lease he could of did was narrow it down a little! SO "take everything off you desk... and have a good day! DOING MATH OF COURSE!" seriously I am so happy I dont have to hear that again!
