Mr. Bennett is the nicest teacher. He explains everything carefully and you actually learn all the steps and concepts. The trick is though to remember how to apply them during the exams. The exams are pretty tough. The quizzes are fairly easy and the grading is simple. If you have this teacher, you will be fine. Just come to class and take notes.

Prof Bennett is a super nice man. Hes willing to help anyone with anything. He is a little scatter brained, but it kept the class a bit interesting. I wouldn't recommend him to another student, but if you end up in his class, you will be fine. Just make sure to study the practice problems on the sides of the pages and attend exam/test reviews. Good luck!

He was a very nice teacher who presented all the material clearly. All you have to do is show up and you will be fine. My only complaint was that the hardest questions always showed up on the tests and quizzes.

If you did well in math in 8th grade, you will do well in this class. All you have to do is pay attention, and there will be no problems. Bennett is a very nice teacher who makes everyone feel really comfortable, cuz trust me some people ask some STUPID questions, and he never makes them look dumb. He is a very good teacher and explains everything really well.

He is a very nice guy and makes you feel comfortable right at the beginning. Although he is so nice that he does the easy problems in class and on the quizzes but would put the hardest problems on the test. He would also put problems that he mentioned once in class on the test. I got twenty out of twenty on all my quizzes but couldn't manage to get above a 70% on any of the tests. I studied hard for this class and it was a severe disappoinment.

Somewhat funny guy... terrible teacher. I studied my butt off for the tests and never got over a 75%. The tests were really freakin' hard. What he told us to review was never on it. It was always the hard stuff he showed us one time in class. Avoid if possible.

I dropped this class after the 3rd test because i didnt want to have a 0.0 on my gpa. i hate to give him a low score, because hes a really nice guy, but hes a horrible teacher. i sat thru his lectures, and barely had time to write down notes. he would explain something as i was busy writing down what he said right before it, so i wouldnt understand what was going on when i looked up. and no im not a slow writer. he is left handed and writes on an overhead, which the 2 dont mix very well because he covers up what he writes, and he has to stand on the right side of the overhead so hes in the way of the projection. ugh. i went to his office hours to try to salvage what was left of my grade and he pretty much rushed me through it, told me to go to MLC, which i did, and i didnt get anyone to help me. so i dropped it. just do urself a favor and try this class with a diff. professor. im going into stats instead.

Bennettt is HORRIBLE, worst math prof ever, doesn't explain anything the way it is supposed to be taught, and messes up while teaching. Don't take this class with Bennett

This class was great with him as the professor, he's so nice and really fun so he keeps you interested. He's great at going through examples everyday in class just follow along by taking notes, and do the homework, it's a great class to take with him.... Great Professor!

This class was sooo easy. If you are decent at math it will be a breeze. If you arent so good at math (like i was) just make sure you do the homework, ask questions, and study for the exams and you will get an easy 4.0

he's really good at explanations, and I'm awful at math. The exams are a lot harder than quizzes though, make sure you do the homework!

Best math teacher I've ever had. Explains the material well...and he's just, well...his mannerisms are unique. Tells jokes, and if you're easily amused like I am, you'll laugh throughout his class. Not a hard class to 4.0 in.

i dont know what you guys are talking about, this guy was horrible. he graded 3 of my 4 tests wrong by an average of 10-15 points and he was hard to get a hold of. he even messed up my final grade, he said i had a 0.0 and i really had a 2.0. doesnt offer any tips, just does problems from the book without explaining very well. overall, hes just real bad.

Best math teacher I've ever had. I went to class 2 days out of the week and got a 4.0. Do your homework and pay attention when you're there and you'll be fine. His quizzes are multiple choice and he's always willing to help. He cracks jokes and even gave an annoucement about a movie audition once. The class is early but it's worth it....

This professor was so nice and even cracked a few jokes that were decent. I think he is like a normal math prof. and his quizzes were multiple choice, yay! None of my other friends had multiple choice quizzes in 1825, so it helped out a lot. Make sure you go to class, take notes, get help when needed, and try hard. This class wasn't easy, but I'm not good in math.

Looks like Coloneal Sandars though from KFC this guy is really funny he'll be in a great mood and start cracking off hand jokes about food etc. overall really nice guy.
