  This class was great when he was there. Left for most of the semester due to surgery so wasn't super available while away. Loved the Aleks program and the lectures he posted were helpful.

  Absolutely horrible. Refuses to explain when you have questions and will just send you to tutoring. The exams are easy, but he does not know how to teach. The only reason I am passing the class is that I am retaking the class so I already know the material and how to teach it to myself since he won't teach, even though we pay him to teach us.

  Super easy class, everything is pretty much self paced, only 3 major exams (notes & graphing calculator allowed) & 2 projects/assignments. Only thing you have to worry about is meeting the hours on aleks. I didn't use the text book at all (even though it was "required", I did perfectly without it).

  Was confusing at times. ie. I didn't know if we finished the course already but hadn't reached the minimum time, we either had to completely finish all exams before mid-semester or figure out a way to get the time up lol. As long as you kept up as suggested (1hr per day), you'll do fine. Review tests are way harder than the real ones, take notes!

  If you need help in anything he will teach you in a way that sticks. I dont know why any past student gave a bad review. Maybe cause two other students in his math class that were also in another class of mine didnt care about passing or even applying their self. He gives you more then enough time to complete. 100% recommend.

  This semester was definitely changed because of the virus so I understand if that was the reason that I found this teacher so hard. But the class is self teach, So if you have problems learning without much help form the professor, this is not the class for you. He provides a lot of opportunity to fix your grades but I went to this class to learn.

  Easy to pass. As long as you actually do the homework you will pass his class. He also gives test hints in class that are exactly like the tests. If you dont do good on a test he gives you a bunch of extra credit opportunities. Overall hes a great professor!

  LOTS of outside work! You watch all lectures at home. During class you turn in lecture notes & homework & he answers questions. If one empty space on homework, you get zero credit. You have to explain what you tried & where you got stuck. He gives second chances but you have to work for it. He's a nice person but I only passed by going to tutoring.

  This professor will go out of his way to fail you so make sure that you can teach the material to yourself because he is not clear what so ever. He loosely connects the answer from the work he shows. Make sure you do all of the homework and it is correct because one fine tune error and you get a 0. Its his way or the high way buddy.

  I was forced to take his class because of time. I read his reviews and was really worried. It turns out he is great! You get a 100% on homework even if you have wrong answers as long as you check them in the back and say they are wrong. If you forget to turn something in there is always a second chance. He always answers any questions.

  Professor Lambert's MATH126 class is held in a lecture hall. Meaning there will be up to 50 students in his classes so he wont be able to help individual students that often unless you ask after class hours. His textbook is quite helpful in understanding the concepts, but you will spend alot of your own time learning the material.

  Great class for an easy credit IF you can self teach. You have to teach yourself or find help outside of class. The class was in a large auditorium with 40+ students. Homework is due before, and lecture notes are stamped before class. To turn in makeup work, you must do 2 HOURS of tutoring from the tutoring center or go one of his favorite restaura

  Terrible teacher. You basically take the course to teach yourself, and you get a load of homework every night. Youre lectures are on a stupid flash drive that you watch at home plus text book reading. So basically he doesnt teach you anything, you do everything from home.

  I have finally known much more about him after I took that class. He wasn't very helpful all the way and pushed too much his student on a different way to earn their credit. I just wanna say I will be extra careful next time to study in one of the toughest and very picky professors. I will need my advisor to look for me the better professors.

  Don't take this class. you get a flash drive with the lectures that don't make sense, you do problems out of a textbook he wrote (that sucks) , and gives zeros on homework if there's ONE problem wrong. He is the worst professor I have ever taken to the point where I had to drop the class because there was no way i was going to pass.

  He is caring and wants to see his students pass, but it's a lot of work on the students part. It's confusing how he teaches a lot of the content. Plus, all of the homework that the students are doing is in his words, so the students can't hear something being taught in other words unless they go to tutoring.
