Reviews of professor Donald Hatori

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are succinct and thorough. I hardly ever felt ill-prepared going into homework & he gives partial credit on tests if you're headed in the right direction. He's down to discuss problems if you have questions, though brush up on your algebra because he will skip steps when working out problems, assuming you know how he got there. 10/10

Homework is long and usually never helpful. Lectures are quick and information heavy. Missing a class would leave you lost and behind on homework automatically. Terrible teaching and literally does not give a sh*t about your grade at all. Avoid this professor!

If you get the concept, then you pass. Nothing good or bad about him. Go to class, get a tutor, study, you'll do fine. All these other commenters are being irrational. Professor literally teaches the basics classes (College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Precalculus Math). If you can't wrap your brain around those simple classes, feel sorry for you

Structured lectures in ways that are predictable and well supported with the assigned book so if one needs enrichment then it is easy to know where to begin. Hw was assigned via canvas in partnership with Pearson (?) online modules. No notes were allowed on tests and no curve but test usually has an EC Q. Lowest grade is dropped. Final is mandatory

Professor Don was a really great Math 50 teacher. I took his class during the summer, but he really prepared me for my high school AP Calculus class. Even though the homework stressed me out, it really prepares you for your future classes. Totally would take this class again.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
The only students who should take any of his courses are students who excel in math. If your math skills are not at ninja level, he will make you regret it every day you are there. If you are looking for a good math teacher, look else where. If you can get by with little instruction, you will fit right in. Not his calling.

Coming into this class as a freshman, in the first semester of college, I was absolutely not prepared for one of the most difficult class professors. Lectures are heavy with copying piles of notes, exams are uncomfortable and strict, camera always on. Keep in mind, I took this class BEHIND all of the average college level math classes. Beware!

When going to MSC, Aviod TAKING HIM AT ALL COSTS IN WORKSHOPS His ways of teaching is so stubborn, unhelpful and confusing. he refuses to sign( even if this is a workshop!)in completion worksheet if you don't finish. Usually no matter if you finish or not they will help you on the way and have it sign. But this guy doesn't, he expects you to know
