CollegeThere was no point in going to lectures because he did not teach anything. My friends and I had to teach everything ourselves, and even when you asked for help, he was extremely unhelpful. He showed up late to class, and I know many people that sruggled in his class.
When going to office hours he helps decently. I will say though Academically I went to CLAS (Which honestly without that I would not have passed) everyday for 2 hrs to help me study and do the homework. Overall sweet guy but not the best teacher.
Look, will he be late to your 8 am, Yes. Will you not understand what's going on, Yes. Will you learn from lecture, maybe? Will lecture be a good use of time, probably not. But the guy is very nice and tries to be funny. He brought our whole class donuts to apologize for being late one time, and played his guitar for us when we do well on tests.
Nice guy, not a great professor. He spends way too much time focusing on simple problems we learned in kindergarten and skips over things we actually need to know. He shows up late and then goes on random tangents completely unrelated to math. If you have to take this class, get a different professor or wait until next quarter.
shows up 10 minuites late and doesnt get through most the topics
His math website is more about self-serving gimmick rather than a sincere, student-centered effort, because we don't see values in doing the online practice(handouts are better), there aren't many helpful problems, it appears he just wants to show off he can make the basic website rather than providing comprehensive review prep for the students.
