The absolute WORST and I mean WORST teacher I've had up IUP or any school for that matter. He is overly strict. He encourages students to drop out because of it. We spent the first day of class not talking bout what the class would be about but about cellphones. He fails you if he sees your cell phone or if you or late. He locks the door soon as class starts. You have to use a calculator approved by him not one you spent your own money on. He's more worried about students cheating other than passing. He doesn't care about your opinions becuz then you would be going against the syllabus. Tried dropping his class because that's what he told us to do but surprisingly he's the only professor that teaches math 115. I 100% would not be surprised if he wrote all these reviews himself because he brought these websites up in a discussion in class. Save your money do not take him.

Pros: Uses many examples to ensure students understand. Makes sure that all students do well.
Cons: Texting Nazi
If you don't use your cell phone or any electronic you should get an A in his class.
