Comment:
Mr. Read is retiring after our class but he was a pretty great teacher for our pre-cal class. Some people struggled but I think it was mostly because they expected to be handed a grade and he will not do that.

You have to try in his class and he will help. He takes breaks to give your brain time to refresh since it is a lot to take in. He goes over what is on the test the day before. If you pay attention in each class and take notes you can do well. If you struggle, go see him during office hours. He is great at helping.

Comment:
Mr. Read is not a very good teacher. About 75% of the class of 30 students are failing. He gets off subject, expects you to do every question on the homework syllabus, but then tells you we arent learning that. He works problems from his head and is not clear. He is too smart to dumb it down for you. He does not give you a break, ya get what ya get

Attendance is mandatory. He is a pretty funny guy but you won't learn anything in his class. If you aren't good in Math I suggest not to take him.

He is very funny and alot of time will be off subject from the material so the best bet is to read the book and do the homework because you wont learn much in class

Prof. Read is a superb teacher! He explains things well and has a sense of humor that keeps tension down. He is so funny but still maintains control of his class and covers the material in ways that make it easier to understand and recall. If at all possible, take him, you will be glad you did!
