Comment:

Gross is an awful professor. I was taking his math class when COVID hit. Even before then, he would come to class expecting you to know everything beforehand. Does not explain or actually teach anything. Hard to understand and get help from. Told me to "get a tutor" when I asked for help. If math isn't your thing, DO NOT take class with him!

Comment:

I didn't really click with Gross' lecture style--he tends to give example problems more than actually explaining the mathematical concepts--but I was astounded by his outside-of-class support. Especially when Covid-19 struck, he made every effort to help his students learn. Online lectures, Bb discussions, email support... You name it, he did it.

Mumbles throughout the entire class and is terrible at teaching. If I could give him a 0, I would. An extremely tough grader/nit picky which is rich considering if we presented the material like he does hed fail us. Only take him if youre out of options.

Lot's of webwork assignments which are great for boosting your grade, because his paper assignments are terrible, he grades very picky. This class is very unorganized, and a lot of the stuff he assigns you don't go over in class. If you can, try your best to avoid him if you're not the best at math, otherwise you should be fine for the most part.

Terrible! won't help you. nasty to talk to. goes way too fast. assigns work before he has ever mentioned anything about how to do it or what it means but expects you to know how to do it. should no longer be employed. Wish I could give him a zero.

I knew going into his class that I wasnt good at algebra, and had to put in a lot of work either way. He assigns very frustrating webwork that count as quizzes, which I find very unfair. It was very hard to keep track of due dates and homework because there was so much and it was so disorganized. Try to avoid if you can, but if not, youll be ok.

He was a good prof.. I had a lot of fun in the class and he made it enjoyable. If you needed help in the class or you didn't understand something he was always able to adress that and explain it in different ways you could understand. There was a decent amount of homeowork and it was always important to check your blackboard and webassign.

Mr. Gross is a great teacher. He gives lots of assignments & homework so as long as you do them all you will pass. Just show up, pay attention, & definitely do homework. He gives pop quizzes but they are not very difficult. I would recommend him as a teacher - I actually signed up for one of his classes next semester.

He was one of the worst teachers I have ever had. I had taken algebra as a junior in high school and got an A. I am struggling to keep my C-. I have taught myself ALL of the content. He also will assign homework or assignments very last minute and you wouldn't know unless you check blackboard 4 hours before class. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Professor Gross was very nice but a little quiet. He was funny though. His quizzes and tests werent bad, but know what we covered in class. Lots of group work was done in class to turn in. WebWork is annoying but can be a grade booster if you just do it! I would recommend him for sure!

he is a really tough grader, but hes a nice guy and pretty funny. he makes you think and at sometimes that may be challenging. If you actually try on the homework and study for the tests, its a super easy course. on the last exam you get a notecard for formulas

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Toughest grader I have ever had in my life. I consider myself to be good at algebra. Normally I get test grades of 85 or higher. In this class I have not gotten over a 70. He does NOT reward you for what you do right, he punishes you for what you do wrong. Be prepared to teach yourself all of the content.

He is by far the worst professor I have had at GVSU. He assigns these preview activities on material we haven't even learned and grades it based on accuracy. He gives a lot of busy work and then does not really help when people ask questions. He is also a really tough grader. If you made a tiny mistake, he would mark the whole question wrong.

He is the worst professor I have had at GV. He made me feel dumb when I asked questions and did not help me at all. I ended up having to teach myself. He does not teach and gives worksheets on material we don't know and then grades it on accuracy.

He is not a good teacher. He doesn't know how to express what he wants to teach. Whenever someone gives a wrong answer he just kinda scoffs at the student and he brings the down them down for giving a wrong answer. All of his homework is for accuracy so if you don't understand it in class your basically screwed. One of the worst teachers at GV.

Not a fan, I have an A- but I have never worked so hard for an A in an intro-level class in my lifetime and I am well schooled. Poor quality explanations with little to no lecture/teaching. MAKE SURE YOU CAN TEACH YOURSELF! Otherwise, you will be in hot water.

He doesn't make sense at all when he teaches and don't expect to get help if you have a question because he will just get upset with you for not knowing what he doesn't even teach. Also, I hope you know how to teach yourself otherwise this class is going to make you learn how to real fast.
