Comment:
I go to North Central College and he teaches Math 118 as a part time professor. He is the worst math teacher I have ever had. His notes don't go with any questions from the book and he puts questions on the test and homework that are harder than what he taught us. 118 is supposed to be the easiest math class offered at NCC

I love Mr. Asta. He's a great teacher, helpful, funny, nice, and knows his material. I wish he teaches calc 2 so I can take it with him. He's tests aren't that hard but there's always quizes almost 12 for the whole semester but they help a lot. TAKE HIM if you're taking calc.Calc's normally hard the teacher just helps understand it

Comment:
He is an awsome teacher who knows his math!! He does tend to do into math history and stuff but it can be sort of entertaining at times. If you want a good grade in his class do the homework or else you will fail!!! He gives a lot of extra credit opportunites so do all of them. This class is not for slackers, just saying...

I actually liked this guy a lot. He made the class pretty easy. The material isn't hard and he made the quizs as easy as possible. He gives tons of chances for extra credit... He gives you the chance to good in the class but in the end you still have to study on your own.

Comment:
He is a very nice guy, but he talks more about calculus than pre calc, a lot of times he goes off topic, i did not do the homework, but still ended up with a C, but if i did my homework i would have done better, his tests are somewhat hard plus most of the time what he says it is not on the test, all in all if u want a good grade do not take him, b

Very good teacher I had problems with precalc 4 a while and passed it with him. Don't need to do homework every night, just study before tests.

Run away! This man may know math but he couldn't teach it to save his life. He makes so many mistakes during his sordid attempts at teaching the material that I couldn't follow him at all. Look for a better professor unless you have a good grasp on the material before taking the course.

He came out of retirement to teach our class. Only available right after class for help-thats it! Tests are rediculous, and makes a ton of mistakes on board. Don't take! Everyone dropped our class pretty much...he's that bad!

Alot of people kept psychin me out to take this class because they dont understand the subject matter. As a teacher he is awesome. But if you dont get the subject, its not his fault and you should drop out. His tests are very basic, only the stuff you need to know. Remember that he does make you think sometimes on tests. I recommend him highly.

He told me I was expecting a miracle to even pass the class. So... he's not a very encouraging guy. BUT I did pass, so there.

engineering students: take this guy for calc. his tests are tough, but he really knows the material and can relate it to physics and just about everything else. most calc teachers i have had cant tell you anything more than whats in the textbook, but Asta can really explain. go to class every day. do the homework. you'll do well. GREAT teacher.

I love this teacher. I took his class a few years ago and this spring I am taking Math 1218. He let us use calculators and he had a lot of quizzes but he dropped the ones with the lower grades. Definitely the best math teacher I have ever had. I don't know why everyone else seems to not like him.

AHHHH! Bad teacher, super hard, too smart for his own good, doesn't get that we aren't all math geniuses. I'm doing all the homework and am doing great on all the quizes but his tests are impossible! Take a different teacher. He has pop quizes weekly which is the only thing that'll help you. he doesn't explain things clearly and goes off topic.
