Reviews of professor Skyler Simmons

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Skyler expects you to teach the material to yourself and then class is just to go over any questions - he doesn't do his job and actually give lectures. He also doesn't let you use a calculator on the tests "because he doesn't want to take the time to figure out which one to allow." He's also has wandering eyes and made me feel very uncomfortable.

He is one of the best math professors I have ever had. Math classes are test heavy so that is to be expected, but he has clear exam reviews that accurately reflect the exam. His homework policies are great. Lectures are clear and recorded. If you can take a class from him, take a class from him!

Homework was very fair and straight forward to do. You can correct your homework before handing it in as long as you show your work. And he addresses any difficult problems at the beginning of the next class. He explains math super clearly and his notes while lecturing are very easy to follow. On top of that he's hilarious and good human being.

He explains things clearly And takes time to make sure everyone understands. He is tough on grading and this class is mostly exam based. Homework doesnt count a lot towards your grade.

I loved Skyler's hybrid class. He uploads a schedule for the semester on Canvas so you know when everything is due. He's very aware of student's needs and keeps track of which units we are struggling on most. There's at least one in-class review session before every mid-term. Homework took at most 1 hour per unit. Funny, likable, willing to help.

I think he is funny and easy to talk to so you aren't intimidated to ask questions in class. Does a great job of explaining things. Occasionally I'll see something in the HW that he never mentioned in class, but usually it isn't far off from the material he taught (vocab from the book or notation). A quick google search or tutor can clear that up.

Took Math 1090 and the class was alright. Professor Simmons isn't a terrible teacher. He's not outstanding but a good teacher. Math 1090 is suppose to be Business Algebra but we didn't do anything business related all semester. It was just regular math, all of which I did in 1010 the semester before. If you have taken 1010 or 1050, try to test out.

This class was great. Skyler is a great teacher and explains problems very clearly. Nothing about this class is hard if you attend class (not required) and do the homework on ALEKS. Practice tests are exactly like the tests, with unlimited retakes.

You CAN'T use calculators on test. He was confusing when he taught, so I had to go to get help outside of class to know how to do homework. On homework there is usually 10 to 15 problems, but inside of those problems there are more math problems. Tests are NOT multiple choice, you have to know how to do the problem. He DIDN'T allow extra credit.
