Comment:
This instructor used the divide and conquer method of teaching. Be would select one student to bully always a female. Other students in the class noticed his abuse too. When I left, he began to bully Claire. He swore at me when I asked a question. He was a nightmare to the person he decided to bully. Everyone else just felt lucky.

This man is fantastic! I don't know how Cabrillo manages to nab these great professors. I took precalc in the summer just to see if I could and thanks to this man I stayed interested the entire time. He was easy in that you didn't have to work that hard to pass but if you wanted to learn and/or get a good grade, he certainly gave you the challenge

Excellent Teacher. He is retired now and too bad for Cabrillo. Students would sit on the floor to learn from him. Some of the CC staff did not like his style but he gave it to the students like it was no tricks bells or BS he was for real. No text$book to buy. Open notes test. Wish more teachers were like him. He taught real life stuff.

He is very easy, however for someone like me who is very bad in math it was a god send. If you are not a math person I would had recomended him, but he is not going to be teaching next semester. :(

Do not take this teacher if you really need to learn math to go on in your studies! He's a great teacher just way too easy and doesn't prepare you for calculus. I warn anyone who needs to take calculus to not take Davidson for Math if they want to go on later. You will only be shooting yourself in the foot and then having to rely on crutches later

He is so entertaining! But I enjoyed his class because he explained all the things I didn't understand from high school in like five mins as opposed to the days it took to learn it in h.s. I definitley recommend him!

No doubt the best math teacher i've ever had!!! Very good at explaining. I'm horrible at math and he really explained everything in a comprehensible way. Important to go to class to get a good grade (homework is not required. take home quiz's). Best teacher ever. Take him spring 09' because then he's retiring!!

Very nice professor, but math is hard for me, a textbook would have been helpful. I attended all classes, did all homework, but got a D and three other classmates failed even though they did all work too. Just because he's nice doesn't mean he'll pass you.

You don't need a book! So awesome. Davidson makes math about as interesting and easy as anyone can, and he really wants you to succeed. Open notes on tests and quizzes, and his website is definitely helpful. Do the homework, it will benefit you later on. Take this class before he retires this year!

Great teacher! Very funny, and makes math simple and understandable, even for someone who is not very strong in math. As long as you take notes and do the work, it's very hard not to get an A, or at least pass. His website (has preview quizzes and tests) is very useful, and he allows for test corrections, so you shouldn't have a problem.

Great Teacher!!! Too bad he is retiring in his prime. Stay organized!.. Do extra credit on quizes and tests and you'll get an A. Only 1 negative, College is meant for people to think on there own, not for teachers to tell students what they should think politically. If it weren't for his political rants he'd be FREAKIN AWESOME!
