Comment:
Mr. Ottensoser speaks very, very fast that would be my input for him, to slow down. He engages the class while explaining problems in detail and he makes it fun meanwhile, I thoroughly enjoyed having him as a teacher. He is very prepared and has a full understanding of what we need to do as students to succeed.

He is an extremely nice guy. Really tried to help me when I wasn't doing well in his class. I fell asleep probably every day because it was very boring, but he made sure I passed with a B which was awesome.

Comment:
You need a book, he collects homework from it. It's a hard class if you aren't too good in math but he's extremely nice and will round your grade even if you don't particularly deserve it. Almost everyone in my class should've failed but got Cs. I got a C+ - I asked him to curve me up.

Comment:
It's a really hard class, he's not that comprehensive about the material so I ended up teaching myself and going to the tutoring center. Has to curve everything because the class fails. He curved my grade up after I asked. I still think I should've gotten higher though with the curve. I would try to take someone else unless you're good at math

I loved this guy! If you go to class and do the homework even though it is NOT mandatory you will get a good grade. He gives you practice exams before every test including the finial. He does drop your lowest test score. I would take him again. Great teacher, Great class!

Super nice guy, horrible teacher. He understands the material but can't teach it well. There are 4 multiple choice tests and a final, takes attendance through daily quizzes.

He's a really nice guy and doesn't ask for much, but he simply does not know how to teach. I was better off teaching myself. I recommend taking someone else.

I ended up teaching myself this course straight from the textbook every night since I could not understand what the heck he was teaching in class. Half the class dropped the course the first week. Goes over material TOO fast. Curves exam scores, though.

the worst teacher ever, the man doesn't know how to teach, he could not factor numbers. The average grade on all the tests was below a 50, and half the class dropped. Students were teaching him.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER. the class started with 40 students and by the end of the drop/add schedule about 15 were left. The first average score for a test was a 60. the highest score a 79. Otto just dosnt know how to teach and makes math unbearable.

I wrong about this class- The teacher knows SQUAT about how to teach. Half the class dropped. Out of 15 students left about 8 fail. The teacher dosnt really curve-if your classmate does well then no curve. He dosnt know how to teach & makes math PAINFUL. DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS CLASS. SERIOUSLY!

A HORRIBLE TEACHER. One day the class was full the next day it was half empty. He curves his exams and final grades. He dosnt explain math at all. Just stands for 40 min and talks jibberish.
