Comment:
Mr. Chesla was awesome. I have always struggled with math but through his group projects I found what we were learning to be tangible to the world around me. He gives partial credit on tests and quizzes which is great because in some classes one small error can ruin points on an entire problem. He makes trigonometry as interesting as it can be.

Very nice guy, funny too. Cares about students and is willing to help you if you need it (office hours) and if you don't score well on tests, there are other things to bring up your grade like lesson plans and explorations.

Comment:
Mrs. Chesla was a good teacher. I should have studied more though. Math for Elementary isn't an easy class, but if you're willing to put forth the effort you make it. Just remember, a profession like teaching isn't going to be easy, so don't expect the classes that prepare you for such a field to be easy! Teaching must come from the heart!

He's good to have if you catch on fast. He does assign a lot of homework. I liked him, but it seemed as though the other students in the class struggled a lot and gave up. Final exam was very easy. He does keep in touch with his students and help out the dedicated ones. He even suggested nominating me for the Teachers of Tomorrow Scholarship.

He is hard but he wants you to really understand and be able to explain your own process. You will need to do that for elementary kids--so you should start now! I thought he was hard but got 100% on the final exam so obviously he taught me something!

He is ruthless in grading sometimes but he wants you to really grasp the material and be able to explain your processes. He is willing to help if you ask him for help, that's what office hours are for you know.
