I don't think Todd actually taught the class, I think he just used some other guy's pre recorded lectures. Whoever the other guy was is a good teacher though lol. Todd accidently had the online homework to close an hour early for the first few weeks and didn't believe me when I told him, so I had to use my one extension and he never apologized.

in order to take this class you need a mymathlab acsess code, its about $100 asside from this program this teacher offers nothing in terms of lectures homework and quizzes that he actually made. this course is a waste of money and you will have to teach yourself based on pages of reading online. i would recomend taking this class elsewhere.

Comment:

Mr. Zoroyas class was harder than I expected, but not impossible. The way he has class set up is just him briefly explaining something while you sit in a group and try to work out the problem, usually something that youve never seen before. Getting an A isnt hard though! His tests arent hard, plus he gives points for showing up every day.

I did online winter session. The class was super easy, he opened everything early (and I finished the class in two weeks). The material is easy, and you can redo HW until you get a 100. Use Quizlet to help you study, many questions are online for that! Great course, easy course, nice professor. Watch the interactive videos, trust me!

Overall good teacher. I do agree you may have to teach yourself at some points. His MLA did a lot of the work while most days he kind of skimmed through the lecture. Put in a little extra effort and he definitely notices

This course was difficult for me as it was calculus, which calculus is difficult to me anyway. But the professor really cares and wants you to be successful. He makes students go to the math den 3 hours a week which at first thought was awful, but once I went it helped me so much. I was able to get my homework done and get help if needed.

Lectures don't include enough examples to properly do the homework but the required hours in the Math Den can fill in those blanks. Overall a good teacher who is straightforward and fair. Make use of the den and you'll be fine.

I have taken STS 232 and MAT 122 with Todd. He is an amazing man who instilled confidence in me in regards to math. He tells everyone exactly what he expects of them, the tests pertain to the homework material, and he is completely fair and understanding. He offers his own personal help as well as other resources to help you succeed. No trickery.

I took Todd's online class and found it to be one of my easiest math classes of all time. You can use your calculator, excel, whatever. My suggestion is that even though it's an online class and it feels tedious, take notes!!! You will want your notes when you are mid exam and can't remember the rule for finding smallest sample population.

I'm one of those people who loves math but when taking precalc in high school I failed. But taking it with Todd made it so much more enjoyable. I was interested in learning and his lectures weren't all that bad. He let us use reference sheets on all exams, and even let us out of class early some days. Overall my favorite professor by far.

I took Zoroya's winter STS 232 course and he was really helpful and kind. Responded to emails super quickly and even gave me an extension despite the fact that there was already a makeup policy in the syllabus. Helpful professor!

I took his Den class for stats and pre-calc. I loved it, if you watch the videos before hand, class is soo easy. Make a good cheat sheet and keep it for the final. He also posts all pre and post class notes so if you miss class you can see exactly what was done for the day. He's really personable and makes a huge lecture hall seem like a small room

Todd was a great professor. I am absolutely terrible at math and received an A in this class. He curves test grades and made stats seem like a breeze. Definitely would take another math class with him if I have to. Best math teacher at UMaine.

Zoroya made learning statistics easy. His tests are good too; which is hard to say about math. Thanks Mr. Zoroya!
