Reviews of professor Thomas Bell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Overall nice guy, quizzes and tests are identical to homework and he lets us use desmos during them. Do your homework and study the homework and you will do well. Also if you can learn how to use the calculator well it will come in handy. He also curves the tests and I was able to pass the class with 102%, because of this.

He lets you use a online calculator the whole semester. If you figure out how to use that in all ability easiest A. All hw test and final are online but in person. If your grade is above like a B he doesnt care too much if you miss class. Attendance not mandtory but hes gunna track you down if your grade low.

Professor Bell was an overall nice guy and teacher. He's somewhat helpful when you ask him questions. Most of his lectures consist of doing the homework that is due for the next class. Some work at the end of semester is kind of thrown at you and not really taught. Tests are easy if you the assignments.

I'm two weeks into the course all we have done was 12 different homework assignments on WebAssign, 4 of which were quizzes. Only positive is they can all be done at home and you are given alot of class time since Mr.Bell DOES NOT TEACH. Once per class he picks a random question and teaches the basic solving method. Tests are in person & $111 ebook

Mr. Bell is not a bad teacher. He gives lots of extra credit and is pretty understanding. For each section, he gives a homework, quiz and a pre-lecture as he expects us to know some of the material before the next class. Didn't really need to use the textbook but I did have to pay to do my hw. Also, this class is very dependent on desmos.

Mr. Bell is a nice professor but he does not teach AT ALL. you are teaching yourself ( chegg & mathway help a lot)  but its easy to get a good grade if you do all homework's and quizzes. We did about 100 assignments this spring semester.  he drops your lowest test, quiz, and homework grade which helps at the end. All quiz and test are open books.

He doesn't actually teach, posts videos of other teachers instructing. Passive aggressive and easily offended by little things. Overall OK guy but you're moreso teaching yourself. Assigns homework and pre-lecture hw for the next class both due the same day. Quizzes are 1-2 times a week. Occasional extra credit.

He cares for your grade, and will give extensions but doesn't really teach. So if you don't have prior knowledge might have to do a lot of youtube video searching. Quizzes are fairly easy. Tests aren't too bad either.
