Reviews of professor William Butler

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I personally found his teaching style to be similar to a middle school math teacher. Which didn't quite work for me. He tries to joke around and will go off on random tangents about his personal life. Class time was only 50 minutes and I'm not paying for course on the life of Mr. Butler, I'm paying for math... so teach us the math.

Pros: fairly easy class and low amount of homework (only 5 questions per section of the book) Professor Butler cares a lot about his students and makes some funny dad jokes during lectures. Cons: doesnt prepare you that much for the final because of how easy the class is. Hes kind of vague when answering questions and hasnt adapted to covid.

Not that it matters but Mr. Butler is probably 75 years old. He says "mmmmmmk" after each sentence which gets old really fast. He is lazy when it comes to getting to know students. Doesn't prepare you for the departmental final. Doesn't present material well at all then acts astonished when students aren't able to answer his questions during class.

Not helpful or lenient at all, docks points for not showing work or not doing the problem in the right way although the answer is right. Not easy to communicate with. Sweet guy, and sweet heart, but not a good teacher.

Mr Butler should not be teaching at a University. The homework was easy, only 5 problems, and the tests were relatively easy; but he did not prepare us for the department given final. The high on the final was 75% and the average was a crazy low 33%. He went off topic most of the 50 min of class. He is a terrible educator.

Professor is an akward guy that will treat you like a high schooler. Calls on you randomly and only explains problems very high level. He fails to explain the problems deeply and just assumes that you have already read the textbook chapter when teaching. Class scored an average of 45 on the first test and only curved grade after someone reportedhim

This class was a joke. He doesn't know how to use Canvas. He writes his own test and many students go up to him multiple times to ask what numbers are because his handwriting is no good. Every time someone asked a question, he could not answer it and usually made everyone more confused. He will treat you like a junior high kid. Nice guy, but wow.

He is an okay professor. Homework is relatively easy. If you have trouble understanding math before this class, Mr. Butler could be confusing. He also does go off topic sometimes. Class time could have been spent more wisely, but he isn't super hard with test or homework. However the final was much harder than anticipated and didn't feel prepared.
