Comment:
Mr. C is a good guy, and he can be fun to listen to in lectures. The work outside of class? I pretty much had to teach myself. He's not the best at getting information to stick with you. I would, however, like to give him the benefit of the doubt as COVID pushed the class online, which made things harder for everyone.

Wonderful and understanding professor. He went out of his way to make math as fun as he could for everyone. I appreciate the work he put into teaching and how understanding he was.

Comment:
While he was a fun professor, he was one of the hardest Ive ever had. Homework wasnt bad, but was nothing like the tests. Sometimes the tests had material that we hadnt studied in class. Often gets his own problems wrong, we had to correct him a lot. No partial credit and no explanation as to why something was wrong. Will NOT accept late work.

Comment:
I am a 4.0 student who struggled in this course not because of my attendance or effort (which were average), but his disorganization and lack of teaching ability. I doubt his credibility as a professor as he did not work with students or give us any tools to succeed. Students would consistently ask him questions to which he had no answer.

Pretty great guy in person, but as a prof he's a little tough. I didn't have any major issues with him and his grading, but a lot of the people in my class did. Be careful when taking him. Be very careful. Definitely passable, but you will have to work and be almost perfect.

Mr. C is a great guy, but the worst prof. His grading criteria is unknowable, he gives no feedback, and is incapable of answering questions. He gives no extra credit and gives NO PARTIAL CREDIT. If the answer has anything wrong with it, no points. I made the mistake of not listening to people here. Don't make that mistake. You've been forewarned...

He is a fantastic guy to talk with but that doesn't mean he's a good professor. I've read and done every single assignment and done pretty well on them too but when it came to the exam, it was nothing like anything we've ever done. Retaking with a different professor and I have at least 6 people that failed his class retaking it again with me.

If youd like to actually understand statistics, Id suggest choosing someone besides Mr.C. He uses the book for hw but doesnt teach the same way the book does, so if you try to consult your book for help it wont be of any use. Also, he doesnt give feedback on hw, its either a check mark or an x without an explanation as to why you got it wrong

Just read the book at the end of each chapter and it shows you how to do every problem on your calculator. Funny Guy and if you do well in his class he really likes you.

Comment:
He is a good person, but as a teacher not the best. He is unable to explain problems in detail, or step by step in order for the students to fully understand. His wording in class does not match the way things are asked on the tests or on homework. Class notes are not detailed enough to help with homework. He is very vague. Students self-teach.

Very difficult for me to pass this class, not being one that is good with math. He does a good job of explaining things in class, and a lot of the test questions come directly from homework and notes, so make sure that you have both to look over before the test. Do well on the tests and do all of the homework, because that is your whole grade.

Mr Cunningham is a good teacher. He tries to make everyone feel comfortable and will answer your questions. It is obvious that he really enjoys teaching. His academics standards are higher than some teachers but his tests are fair. I would take him for another class.

Comment:
Dr. Cunningham was very funny and made my 8am class worth going to. Some people think he's confusing because he teaches differently from what the book says but his style is "easier". Grades homework on accuracy. Doesnt give partial credit. Definitely a cool teacher!

Gives multiple chances for students to ask questions if they are uncertain during class. Has a light-hearted, joking personality. Made waking up for an 8am math class enjoyable.

Regardless of what anyone else says, Mr. Cunningham is an excellent professor! He does not hand over a good grade like many other professors do and because of this a lot of students dislike him and post awful things on this site. Mr. Cunningham upholds a standard above the average community college professor and I admire him for that.

Comment:
Though Mr. C had a fun personality, engaged the class, and taught the material quite well, his grading system sets you up for failure. Partial credit was not given on homework questions, even if you have work shown. Also, 60% of the final grade was based off of 5 test scores throughout the semester, which is unfortunate for bad test takers.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! He is a horrible instructor. I am a 4.0 student and i barely slid by with a 3.0 in his class. he thinks he is funny but he is NOT funny. His tests are way harder than what he teaches. Forget about partial credit for any problem. by the end of the of the semester a third had dropped because they were failing. He is rude too

Dan is a good professor. Many students attribute their lack of success to be a result of his instructing method, which is far from the truth. If you show up to class, take notes, and do your homework, you will do well. If you want to ensure a 4.0 than consider reading the book's chapter prior to the lecture.

Comment:
I've never submitted a review before because I assume if you put forth the effort you can do well. His grading technique is absurd, making it near impossible to do well. Even with a strong understanding of subject matter and being a confident test taker expect to receive 10% (at least) lower on any test you take. Out of 30 people, only a few passed
