Reviews of professor Skyler Simmons

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Math 1050 from Prof Simmons and enjoyed it. Obviously, it's a math class so there is homework every night. Homework is done from the textbook and is turned in at the beginning of class. Homework usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes. He lets you use a calculator during test. Show up, pay attention, do the homework and you'll pass no problem.

Prof. Simmons is one of the best math professors I've ever had. He teaches in multiple different ways so everyone can understand. He is funny, kind, and willing to help if you need it. The most important thing for his class is to take detailed notes. Also, study hard so you don't bomb the final like I did :(.

MATH 1220 - CALC2
Skyler is a little awkward, but you can easily understand what is happening. Grades are fair but can be long winded. If you get a problem wrong, you have to rewrite the whole equation. There are ways to shortcut that system, but you still have to show your work. Other than that, everything is on canvas, he keeps to the schedule.

If you show up it defs helps to take notes. He makes math fun when most people don't want to be there. He is very helpful after class if you have any questions on the homework. Assignments assigned every day online and one written problem to turn in. Wasn't to hard as long as you pay attention and do the work.

I hardly ever attended classes, but when I did, he was very funny. He posts his lecture notes, has the homework solutions to check your work against, and offers tons of extra credit. All of these allowed me to get a really great grade with only showing up to about 4 lectures. I highly recommend him!

I loved taking this class! Yes you have to work hard, but his lectures are awesome! He does tons of example problems and is happy to answer any questions that you have regarding the section. The class is set up where you take a test after each chapter, but he always gives a chapter study guide at least a week in advance.

If you are looking for a Ferris Bulers day off kinda professor, you have found the right one. Will not teach the why behind anything. He is not very interactive and doen't really care. Lectures went like this, "Ok, this is how you do it , blah blah blah, any questions?" Went way over my head no matter how hard I studied. Calulators are not allowed.

Skyler is very good at teaching trig. He is concise and engaging. Very forgiving on tests. Even if you get a question wrong you still get partial credit if you show your work and use the correct methods. Homework is very manageable. I would recommend.

I took 2280 with Dr. Simmons. He's a great professor - clear lectures, reasonable homework, and tests that feel very representative of the work we do in class. He is willing to work with students for special situations. Highly recommend.
