class comments :Eh, Fauntleroy was kinda worthless, but the TA was helpful. Fauntleroy was always late for class, especially on test days, and we had a short class period anyway. People often didn't get to finish tests, even though they were only 5 or 6 problems. The book was worth buying. You can teach yourself the course from the book. You can buy it from me and I'll give you all of his tests too.
instructor :Fauntleroy
instructor rating :1 - Bad
instructor comments :He was late for class all the time. Doesn't talk very loud so it's hard to hear unless you are right up front. He is NEVER wrong, or so he claims even though he is really often wrong. Not the type of professor you'd go to for extra help.

instructor comments :He's a friendly guy and all, but his lectures get boring and he doesn't explain the complex concepts very well. He will say "You see" about 1000 times a class. I am not joking. I heard this class was easier online, so you might wanna try that.

class comments :worst teacher I've ever had. does not explain material well. doesn't even finish an example within the class time allotted. TA unavailable and hostile toward students. should have been a fairly easy course, given its low level of math involved, but he made it hard. extremely stressful. don't have to go to class, however, and I almost felt that going was detrimental to my understanding of the subject matter, he was that bad.
instructor :Peterson
instructor rating :0 - Horrible
instructor comments :most thoroughly awful teacher I've ever had. soft-spoken, rather large man, slow moving, you can't see around him when he writes an example on the board, and then he erases and writes over top of the prior step in a multi-step problem, so you can't refer back to the previous step when trying to figure out what part of it you didn't understand. not helpful at all. his class was so terrible it negatively impacted my grade just by going. time better spent reading the text yourself than going to

His grading is lenient, each test is out of about 120% and he drops the lowest.

class comments :the videos are great, they explain things way better than the book. most of the webassigns are cake, you get ten days to do them and they're not due until eleven at night, usually about every 3-4 days, 50 submissions means half the time you can guess until you get it right. only 5 submissions on the test though, and that makes it tight, i always found myself running out of time (and i'm usually the type to finish first). not having notes kind of makes it hard to study, so try and make sure you u

class comments :The class was easy but requires effort. The online TAs are very helpful. You could probably get by without the book since everything is explained in the videos for the online class. Material was presented well enough to understand the assignments but usually required some clarification from the TAs. All the assignments were via webassign and if you got 90% on each webassign or overall you'd get 100 for your webassign grade. Also the tests are taken on webassign and you get 5 submissions on each

instructor comments :Woman is psycho. At least once per class she would get an example completely wrong and end up in an argument with the class. Not at all helpful outside of class, and has an attitude whenever you speak with her. Thick accent combined with being unable to work out problems makes going to class torture. I would not take a class with her again.

instructor comments :To put it lightly, she's a bitch. No only was I stuck in a stupid math class, but I was stuck with a stupid teacher. Half the time her examples would be wrong. She lacks common sense. She has no respect for any student. Don't say a word in that class or you will be put on her bad list. She doesn't speak english. There was a terrible language barrier in this class. Whatever you do, take the online class. Save yourself.

class comments :As with all online classes, webassigns are your life in this class. The online lessions are helpful. Don't buy the book. You get to use your notes on tests which is helpful so write out your steps as you do the webassigns. Many of the questions are the same, but with different numbers. On webassign there's a communication link where u can talk to classmates and get answers for questions you don't understand. Bonus points for helping others out.

class comments :Class was fairly easy...most of the stuff I had in high school. No attendance policy but if you miss 5 or fewer days then your lowest test grade only counts as half a test grade, that probably helped me out.

instructor comments :She was nice, a little kooky, but overall I liked her. Sometimes took a while to get things back, but it wasn't a large issue.

class comments :Class was easy, but don't miss a day cuz you could get lost quickly. There was suggested homework but was very helpful. Webassigns weren't hard at all. Attendance was taken periodically; she would give bonus points for people who showed up on certain days. Class never let out early but there were times where class was cancelled w/o notice..grrr..TAs did the grading & I always needed corrections done on my tests.. Book is worth buying.

instructor comments :She can be a little scatterbrain at times but overall ok personality, tried to be funny at times but ppl just weren't amused at 8 in da morn. But I think alot of people learned alot in the class. There were times when would be cancelled without any notice from her GRRR Got our tests back at a reasonable time... NOT good at calculating your final grade, I had to email her *alot* of times about it..

course comments :How could you complain about him no grading homework?! This course rocks in every way...no homework is ever graded, and if you attend you won't even need to do it. It's a step-by-step class, couldn't get much easier as far as a math class goes, and the curves on tests are awesome.

class comments :Very sweet class...highly recommended. This course was not a problem to attend b/c it wasn't stressful at all and you learned stuff every class. His notes are very good as well.
instructor :Mcrae
instructor rating :4 - Awesome
instructor comments :Such a cool guy...he's quite old but he's really smart and sometimes makes humerous comments that he doesn't mean to be funny. Very kind and helpful guy, he'll always hang after to help you with a problem and will repeat/go over things as long as you ask. He doesn't rush the class at all and keeps a nice, slow pace.

class comments :Here's the rundown, Homework doesn't count for credit, Attending the class no credit, Webassign credit for a test IF you do it and that is IF you get it right and IF you understand it. Tests are all WORD PROBLEMS, some curves but really not much to help.

instructor comments :He is A VERY NICE guy, boring, but nice. He however doesn't help me in understanding the material. He uses the book extensively and the book is a piece of crock, they need a new book to use.

class comments :the online setup made it fairly easy, you get 50 submissions for each webassign. however, this class seemed to be setup to help those who didn't do as well, (you can have a 100% webassign grade with only a 90, but you can't get 110 if you have a 100)

instructor comments :Does not come across as friendly in e-mails, was completely unwilling to help me out. His voice becomes so grating during those movies that halfway though the semester you will find yourself watching the movies with the speakers off.

class comments :I was able to work at my own pace with the online format...I'd just watch the class videos and go by the examples in the textbook. Tests were in the ground labs of Harrelson in a 5 hour block of which you had to be there for at the longest 75 minutes. Homework assignments and tests done via WebAssign.

class comments :The webassigns were due pretty often and they can really help your grade, the quizes werent too hard but it helped a lot if you studied for them. The tests were fair and if you stuided then you would do well on them. Homework was more like suggested problems but they def. helped me understand better and helped me do better in the class over all.

instructor comments :This woman was awesome! If she didn't think you knew something then she would help you understand, if you needed help she could help you. She was sweet, kinda funny, and just an ovr all good teacher. Her TAs were awesome too and they were very quick with grading and helping with questions as well
