The most laid back teacher EVER! Attendance isnt mandatory. Class is boring but he takes his time with EVERY topic regardless of how much time is left in class. He's willing to help out with anything. He lets you turn in things late. Test are the same lay out as the hw. He even allows a note card of notes for the test which is great for formulas!!

Comment:
He is the most laid-back teacher ever. The course outline gives you the due dates for every assignment but he accepts them after the fact. Class can be boring & bit slow. This class is great if you're not good in math because he takes his time for every topic. He's very helpful with any math problem you have. He indeed loves math himself very much.

He is one of the most relaxed teachers I have come across. He himself loves math. But this is the class to take if math is not your best subject. Attendance policy is not strictly enforced like many teachers at occc. Homework is listed in advance and tests are also. He class can sometimes be dull, but if you do your work you will not fail.

Very leniant teacher, and his teaching pace is not fast at all which is a plus if Math isn't your thing. It is rather boring esp having him at 8am Its challenging to keep your eyes open =(

This class is kind of boring...but he is a good person and if you need help you have to ask him. I hate math and I still do but he was the easiest teacher for me beacuse he explained S l O W L Y but I needed that.

You really need to teach yourself the stuff and listen to him when he goes over it to make sure you're doing it right because his teaching style kinda drags on. You can use index cards on your tests though!

Very nice, but VERY boring. Be prepared to teach yourself, because you will either fall asleep in class or be totally lost - he is very bad at explaining things, he rushed through the material and is sometimes hard to understand. The first and only class I've ever failed in my life.

Very Boring, But extremely easy. His tests are cake and he gives you take home quizes. The syllabus has the math assignment on it so you can do your homework weeks in advance. Only take him, if you are already smart and you can teach yourself, because you fall asleep listening to him.

great guy and does live up to his last name. VERY helpful and accomodating, much better then Moody. He does accept late assignments and wants to teach. The only downside is that he teaches from the book(+ maybe?) and it can get a little boring,but

Is a cross between Bill Cosby and Ben Stein. Alright class but I have had better professors. Is almost always 5-10 minutes late in Newburgh.

Very kind and flexible professor. He will go out of his way to help a student pass. He accepts late homework and will let a student take a test long after the test has been given. He does teach from the book but explains everything in detail.

He really does live up to his last name--you *can* always find a smile on his face. However, his classes are rather boring as he tends to teach directly from the book. I wouldn't recommend taking his classes unless you are really good at focusing.

Yes thats right, he is smiling at you. Have never seened his face without one. He was extremely boring, but you can work together to get your programs done. You have to teach yourself the lessons. Lectures are the worst.
