Comment:
This class material was challenging. Professor Houston has a decent sense of humor, but the lectures can be difficult to follow. There is a good amount of hw and you can redo problems, but it doesn't count enough towards your grade to make a big impact. Quizzes and exams are difficult and have free-response questions that aren't always clear.

Best math teacher I ever had. I wish he could have taught all of my math courses. He explains things thoroughly. His pace isn't too fast or too slow. And he adds a touch of humor to lectures. Also his voice is very calm and soothing. He make himself accessible outside of class. Only con is that he doesn't give great feedback online. go to office hr

Exams are pretty much exactly like the study guides. For each of the normal exams just review your notes, but mostly the study guides. For the final review all of your exams and study guides and you'll be fine.

Comment:
Dr. Houston was a great Linear Algebra professor. He made a class that is often extremely dry fun. There is homework due on MyLab before every class, but nothing unreasonable. His tests are much easier than the homework and almost directly follow the study guides he provides. However, classes are very theory-heavy and lack practical examples

LOVE this man. Wants all of his students to pass, he will give you extra point on quizzes and tests just to boost everyones grades. Attendance isn't mandatory but extra credit for extra points on your final grade if you only miss a few classes. Teaches well and two homework assignments a week. Study guides/homework prepare you for exams.

Comment:
Attendance is not mandatory and its extra credit, but I would recommend going because his lectures are much more helpful than self-learning. There's a lot of homework but is helpful and the tests are topics that were all covered in lectures, textbooks, and study guides. He does care about student's success and will answer any questions in class.

Comment:
Nice man but the way he teaches is very annoying. Linear Algebra is already hard enough without the professor jumping from topic to topic like he has ADD then messing up after you've written and listened to everything so now you erase all the incorrect information he just gave. Doesn't really explain many things. Just talks at you.

Comment:
An outright amazing professor. I have absolutely no idea what linear algebra is, but my man has managed to get give me an A in the class and the majority of the class is based off of exams. Evan Houston is the funniest teacher I've ever had and he makes a boring class/subject entertaining.

A nice old man, that has years of experience with calc. The lectures are super boring so make sure you come to class wide awake. However he does care about students success and will answer any questions in class.

Such a good professor, if majority of the class doesn't do well on a test/quiz he will do a retest and also grades stuff in the students favor. Does do mandatory attendance quizzes but only can help you by giving you up to 3 extra points on your final grade. Homework isn't mandatory, but suggested to do it. Teaches course very well and funny man

Be prepared to teach yourself out of the text book. Only goes over the lessons once. Plenty of homework, but it is not mandatory nor helpful. Try your best and you might pass. Professor hisself is very nice and humorous. Has an odd way of explaining things. Gives extra credit for attendance.

Not a good professor in my opinion. Was unclear in his methods of teaching and was rude when you asked questions. His tests aren't hard but his quizzes are and the homework is always on the lesson you're going over that day so you don't know how to do it. Also, he doesn't let you use a calculator on the final when he let you use one all year.

There is online homework due before every class. He is a nice guy and cracks jokes in class trying to make it a little more fun. The tests are not that hard if you know what you're doing in class. Does not allow calculators on the final exam, but lets you use them all throughout the semester. "Attendance quizzes" are your extra credit

Couldn't see anything he wrote on the board and neither could the rest of the class. First used chalkboard then projector but the glare from the lights washed it all out. Could never follow his work. Quizzes every 1-2 weeks homework due every class. Gives extra credit for attendance. Sometimes sits us alphabetically for exams. Would not recommend.

He is a sweet guy. He cracks jokes on tries his best to make learning as enjoyable as possible. I don't really pay attention in class. Just study the day before the tests by watching YouTube videos and you should be fine. Sitting at a 95 and I use my laptop all of class. Homework due online every day you have class, just use Mathway.

Dr. Houston is engaging, funny and very intelligent. He also explains things clearly and at an unhurried pace. Unless you are a genius, you will probably have to try hard in his classes. A's do not come for free. But that is part of the fun.

Dr. Houston is exactly the kind of professor you want for a course such as MATH 4163; funny, nice, smart, and highly intelligent. He's respectable and friendly, also extremely funny. Course is challenging of course by its nature, but he gives reasonable and doable homeworks and tests. Would take again.
