class comments :If you went to class each week, you could get the webassign done in class. He basically did the assignment for you, as long as you came to class. Not much outside work required.
instructor :Perry
instructor rating :4 - Awesome
instructor comments :Definitely wanted to see his students be successful in the class. He responded to emails very promptly and explained assignments clearly. Math classes don't get any better than this...and I'm NOT a math person!

course comments :I don't remember one THING I learned in this class. Its just one of those classes you have to do I guess. Follow the instructions, do the math, fill in the blanks, go home.
class :Sum II 2003 section 002
grade received :A+
class rating :2 - Average
class comments :Attendance taken. Class is somewhat easy, its strictly a webassign course, where you do online homework, kinda like a lab. Excel and Maple are the two applications you'll use alot. Personally I don't know what the point of this class is.
instructor :
instructor rating :4 - Awesome
instructor comments :Extremely nice teacher! You can do the assignments from any computer with maple and excel which is what I did, so I only came to class to sign in for attendance points. I hardly ever stayed.

course rating :1 - Bad
course comments :This class sucks. I'm in COM and don't know why we all have to take it. Its all using maple and making graphs and shit. Worthless material that I will never use. I also don't have maple at home so I had to do homework in the labs at school.
class :Fall 2003 section 001
grade received :A+
class rating :1 - Bad
class comments :The material is presented pretty well. He basically worked the homework problems in class, but it was hard to keep up and the class was rushed to cram into a 50 minute period. Students would always complain about computer problems which would waste more class time.
instructor :Culp
instructor rating :2 - Average
instructor comments :He was okay. The class is made up of 11 homeworks, one due each week, where he only takes the highest 9. That means you finish the semester a couple weeks early if you do well on all the homeworks. The TA was really helpful outside of class, but I don't remember what his name was.

course comments :Material was VERY easy to understand & was somewhat interesting for me b/c there was computing on laptops in class (which are provided for you). Not alot of material. This course was required for my major.
class :Fall 2003 section 003
grade received :A+
class rating :4 - Awesome
class comments :Not alot of material. Everything was word-for-word, I don't think you could get a bad grade unless you tried really hard to. You could finish your webassigns right in class after class ended b/c they usually let out early. No book required. Attendance was taken when you sign-in to webassign every class.
instructor :Culp
instructor rating :4 - Awesome
instructor comments :Dr. Culp is a nice guy, he would stay after class & help out whichever students needed it. Assignments were graded promptly b/c it was webassign. Not funny but a cool guy if you spoke to him.

class comments :Class was easy. Grade based solely on your best 11 of 14 webassigns. I got 100 on all of them and stopped going after #11. You can leave when you finish the webassign which he walks you through. Attendace is highly suggested.
