In person lectures made a lot of simple topics quite confusing than what I was previously taught in school. The exams and quizzes are difficult and you will find that some of them include questions that we never discussed how to solve. Overall, I would never take this class again.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Oakley is a good guy however his quizzes and exams are a lot harder than what is taught in class. He gives us resources to study for like the previous quizzes and exams from last year but those are a lot easier than the exams given this year.Rate My Professors ↗
For what is relatively supposed to be a lower level/"easier" math class, this class was a lot harder than I had expected. Most of the learning you have to do outside of class on your own, because you won't take away much from the in person lectures.Rate My Professors ↗
Great guy and very understanding. The actual material for this class made a lot of sense and was easy but the tests will completely screw you over. It was open note and Im normally an A student but failed the tests. They were NEVER relevant to what you learned. One of our tests had a 52% average. This class is supposed to be low level and is not!!Rate My Professors ↗
