Reviews of professor John Cummings

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He was a little awkward to listen to on some levels, but he still taught the class pretty clearly. A lot of the time, I found myself learning the majority of the content through WebAssign, which is needed to pass the class. You dont really learn the material unless you watch the videos and study before the tests.

Professor Cummings gave a TON of homework. He gives all instruction through videos so if you are a in person learner, take another teacher. Very strict about the test you take and is vague about material on them.

He knows his stuff. Homework was hard, and mandatory. Tests were hard & you need to include every detail of your answer.

Spent hour studying, asking questions, and going to tutoring for help only to still struggle. Don't recommend him anymore. There are better professors who will do more and put fourth the same effort as you do. Test heavy,every 2 weeks there's an exam,less than that since new material is taught before the previous exam. Hw problems diff. from tests

Had him for MATH1113 and it was okay. Lectures are unlike any other classes. Caring, reliable, respected, and sincere professor. He cares about the success of all his students. Ask questions if needed

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots of note taking. Not enough information to help you understand. Monotone. Boring. Comdescending.

This is my favorite professor. He always makes himself available to help and he really cares about his students. He makes an effort to get to know all of his student. I've had the pleasure of taking calculus with him and it's the best decision I have ever made. Advice: be ready to do work outside of class, but don't feel helpless.

He's a good teacher but can present the material in a confusing way at times. The Webassigns (there are tons) will help you understand the material better and they really helped when preparing for the test. He's a good grader and helps you out where points are earned even if you do not get the whole question correct.

Professor Cummings is a great math teacher. You can tell he is passionate about it and really wants the best for his students and to prepare them for harder math courses. With that being said, there is a lot of work to do if you want to get a good grade. Studying and working problems out is a must. Know the math VERY WELL to finish tests on time.

He is a great guy who has a passion for mathematics, with that said it will get difficult because it is a math class. He does a great job at teaching complex calculations, while also helping everyone who needs it. I would take him for all of my math classes.
