Comment:
I loved this class because he teaches it well and the material is interesting. It's not hard but it can get tricky if you don't thoroughly understand everything he teaches in lecture. Each time you skip a class you risk missing an important concept because the text only covers the theory which is difficult to apply to test problems without example.

Comment:
Awful prof. For one of the midterms he said coverage ended at "chapter 7.6" and then on the midterm, he asked us about something from "7.7" (which he specifically said and wrote down would NOT be covered). I ended up with an 8 in the course, but this guy is just awful.

Comment:
Honestly one of the worst professors I've had at Mac. He gave no indication of what to expect on the exam and midterms, and expected unrealistically specific answers for them. He also does not seem to care about his students. The lecture notes are not posted online, and if you miss one lecture and don't get the notes, it's extremely detrimental.

Comment:
This guy is honestly one of the worst profs Mac has to offer. He's not helpful, he gives no specifics as to what will be on a final or midterm and he lectures as if he is explaining a documentary to you (ie: he doesnt stop). Avoid any class with him if possible, you'll be happy if you do

Terrible prof. Really does not care about the students and does not bother to be helpful at all. Confuses himself plenty of times during lecture and simply does not care about his job. Makes the class so much worse.

Comment:
This guy is the most bitter, meanest prof I have ever encountered in my entire career at mac. This guy leading up to the exam was not approachable, never smiled, and did NOT want to answer students questions that were relevant to the exam. His classic response would be "it's in the book" or "we did this in class, it should be in your notes"...

Comment:
Don't listen to the other comments, this class is terrible. The lectures are boring, and the examples are terrible from (surprise,surprise) a book he wrote. He basically expects you to know advanced algebra. There's rampant cheating on assignments as a lot of people pass around their work. Lousy!

Have to go to his lectures, otherwise sends out threatening emails :). Otherwise, he covers little material in the class and explains it in great detail, so not a very difficult class.

hard tests, no assignments to pull up the grade. And while you spend all your time to copy the notes, you can't listen effectively to him and analyze what he's saying.
