Comment:
This class was not easy but, it was manageable. I really don't know why people are complaining about him using the book he wrote. The tests are similar to the exercises in the book so if you do the work in the book you'll do well on the tests. Studying is the key to this class.

He is literally the worst teacher I have ever witnessed. Not only does he not teach anything, but very rarely does he even leave his chair. Take any other teacher than him. Literally ANYONE ELSE!!!

Comment:
Boring,Useless, and doesn't give a flip how you learn. He encourages students to sleep in class if they so choose to. He spends over half the class explaining 1 problem and the rest of it getting up and down from his chair.

Comment:
As a senior who has experienced my ups & downs at Pace, I can easily say that he is the worst teacher I have ever had. Math for Life:You don't learn ANYTHING. But that doesn't mean it's an easy A. If you do not regurgitate LITERALLY word for word his "answers" you will receive no credit for a question. He's stubborn & unfair. You'll regret it.

Comment:
Though classes are not mandatory, I strongly recommend students to attend his classes to create the impression that you are curious and studious. No homework means all grades come from Tests. His test are not hard, but required preparation from his own textbook. if you are not math genius or self-motivated. Avoid Prof. Adams at all cost.

Whoever claims that Professor Adams is a bad professor is simply lazy. He is an adorable old man who really tries to help his students, and his exams are his review sheets with different numbers. I've taken him for more than one course, and with a decent amount of effort, received A's in both classes. TAKE HIM. JUST LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAYS!

Comment:
definitely the worst teacher at Pace. he wrote his own book and teaches his own version of Finite Mathematics. None of my friends that took 104 with a different teacher could help me because they had no idea what was in my book. Even the tutoring center can't help you. Avoid this dude at all costs

I got a 98 on the final and he gave me a D. His grading is based on if he likes you or not - HORRIBLE, ruined my GPA completely. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Comment:
Somebody needs to take this guy's tenor away. He is old, dry and boring. Teaches from his own textbook, which is boring, and does it without any enthusiasm. No office hours, no e-mail. Students can't sleep in his class, and the tutoring center can't understand his material. IF YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT MATH - STAY AWAY!

He is alright.classes are not mandatory but if you want to do good go to them.he gives 2 quizzes and a final that is not mandatory. i got a 90 and an 84 on his two quizzes. they were easy but he takes off points off random things but overall he is not bad. I would take him if you have a hard schedule because the only work you have to do is study

awful. writes his own textbook. lethargic, awful posture, doesnt really care about much unfortunately. i would advise against taking him. final was optional, tests are difficult, granted i failed the course, but i studied for hours for it and bombed the final. proceed with caution.

RULE FOR ADAMS: Go to class on occasion, stay after a few times to show him you are interested, teach yourself by doing problems. Tests are the same as practice tests.Easy A,-although I**** the bed and didn't study for the 1st test so I had to take the final. Final is not mandatory- only if you want a better grade. If you are self-starter easy A.

Cutest old man ever. Will like you if you laugh at his jokes. Material really is not that hard. His review sheets are pretty much the exam with different numbers. I took him for two semesters and got an A for both Stat and Finite. Good grading system and doesn't care about homework.
