Comment:

I am a math major and thought this class would be no problem. He based our grade solely off of a few tests and quizzes and as a result we had little room for mistakes. Our tests and quizzes were also taken with lockdown browser which completely defeats the incentives for online tests.

If i'm taking time out of my day to do this that means he was really bad. Took college precalc in high school with high 90's and got a D+ in this class. He makes you feel dumb for asking questions so don't even bother. He also doesn't get up out of his chair in the corner so when he writes on the board its hard to follow.

Comment:

York disrespected every one of the 11 students in my Precalc class. I took this class, like many, in HS and got high marks. All of a sudden I end up with this guy and I feel like a moron bc of how he talks back to you. The tests were a nightmare, those were rly the only things he graded us on. Just get a tutor if you are somehow stuck in his class.

Worst teacher I've ever had! Teaches by giving lectures, never gets up from his chair, rarely made eye contact with students, spoke very fast and low; very unorganized (see his office); he never responds back to any emails - I wanted to schedule an appt with him because could not keep up in his class, very unresponsive, highly would NOT recommend!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR! This is the worse professor I have ever had. He sits behind the computer and writes in the same 2x2 section of the board. When he erases the equation he barley erases it and then writes write over it . Very unorganized. his office looks like a hurricane went through it.

Professor York is a pretty good math teacher! He's pretty boring to listen to, and he doesn't make it easier that he sits the whole class. All the homework is optional, and the material is pretty simple.

Comment:

He mumbles, does not actually get up to teach the class, gives very confusing lectures and moves on too quickly to process what he is saying. If you ask questions, he gets visibly frustrated and says it's your fault that you aren't understanding. Tests and quizzes are extremely difficult and he doesnt respond to emails. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR.

The worst professor, DO NOT TAKE HIM. There are other teachers that teach math, go with them. I was in his class for 2 weeks realized I would fail if i stayed, switched to a different section of math and got an A+. Do not go near this bozo

He is quite possibly the worst teacher I have ever been taught by. I met with him once during office hours and he answered my questions but was highly disorganized. During class doesnt move from seat and talks fast while taking notes and by the time you look up from finishing writing notes hes already moved on to the next section. Very lazy.

Worst professor I've ever had. Went to every class & still had no idea what was going on. He teaches as though this is a review session, not an actual class, and doesn't move from his seat in the corner. When students address their problems in class, they are told that he doesn't know what to tell them and basically that it's their problem.

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. If you like to fail, take a class with him! Although every single person in the class fails, he still believes its us not him. Doesnt teach or explain any of his lectures. Doesnt move from his seat. Hes rude and unfair. Worst professor ever!

I never thought I would actually rate a professor but I just could not possibly live with myself letting other people take his class, I am not exaggerating unless you are already extremely good at math you are going to fail. Math has always been my favorite subject, he ruined that for me. He makes the tests impossible and is extremely rude.

By far the worst professor I have ever come across. Absolutely terrible. He's the sole reason I am on academic probation. Even if you put in you're best efforts in, his teaching ways are so bad you won't pass. Never take him.

Comment:

I was always good at math, so I expected Math 101 to be relatively easy for me. However, Professor York explained every single math procedure in the most difficult and confusing way. He puts material on exams that is not covered in lecture OR the optional homework assignments he provides. You'll pass and do well if you read the textbook's lessons.

James York is the worst! He never leaves his chair, doesn't talk at a volume you can hear, is nasty when you ask him questions, and puts material on the tests that he never covered. In my class he lost all of our tests and quizzes so we basically had nothing to study from for the final. If you are bad at math do not take his class.

It's been a while since I've taken classes math has always been my strongest subject. This class? Impossible. He was only available T,TH and would not make any other time to meet. I had a tutor and still struggled. I had to withdrawal from the class, but need it for my degree so I have to take it again. I would not recommend. SUNY Cortland

I was Valedictorian in HS, now I'm getting a C in his intro math course. He clearly shows he doesnt respect students, he wrongly marked 1 of my test answers incorrect then when I showed it to him again he claimed I changed my answer after he handed it back to try to cheat. He cant admit when hes wrong & our grades suffer for his ego.

Horrible, not only is he a terrible teacher, but he also is rude. Even if you have a serious excuse(funeral to attend, sick family member, etc.) he won't allow you to retake a test. THAT ISN'T A JOKE. Horrible professor, seriously do not take his class. It is a surprise that he is even an educator.

I would never come on this site, but this guy is horrible. Literally the worst at teaching out of any teacher I have had in any class. Gives hard tests, you can't hear him speak. Gives an extra credit assignment that does so little for your grade you might as well not do it. DONT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!
