Reviews of professor Joshua Davis

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
professor is excellent at explaining however is terribly slow at covering lecture material. You will be left with loads of free time in which you won't be able to do anything as he has a no phone policy. Availability 10/10, Explanations 10/10, Speed 3/10. Recommend to just watch the online lectures at your own pace and email questions to prof.

He doesnt give any curve anymore so u get what u get, test and quiz is completely different from what u learn in class

Doesn't really teach just reinforces. Uses class time to solve a few problems and posts lessons online that you have to watch outside of class so be ready to put in an extra 3 hours of study time per lesson outside of class. His lessons are alright but could definitely be better. If u have option not to take him take a different professor.

Wish there were more professors like Davis at NJIT. He deliberately takes time on material to make sure that all students get a good understanding, which was essential to passing the course. He is one of the most encouraging and supportive professors. He never makes you feel bad for trying and will always help you with material you don't understand

he doesnt really teach, just reinforces. lots of quizzes and if you didnt do it the way he wants you get a 0 and cant change your grade. he gives "pep talks" during the lectures and also pressures everyone to participate and turn on their cameras otherwise he threatens to take off points. he is an ok guy, but if you are bad at math, DONT TAKE HIM!!

Lots of talk about resources and help etc. but doesn't deliver. Requires a strong background in math. Lectures and review sessions are different than his quizzes/exams. Required to have camera on, otherwise will take points off. Not tech savy, homework on multiple websites-hard to keep track of. The test questions must be completed how HE wants...

Nice guy, talks too much about his personal life. Overloads on the inspirational stuff a bit. Theres online hw and hand-ins for recitation days. Be on time for them ad on time for class. I was alright bc I knew Calc a bit but others who had no experience struggled badly and are retaking Calc this sem. Lectures arent that great and loses himself.

In-class lectures would often only cover extremely basic principles of the material. Has the tendency to go off on tangents about all sorts of stuff, so lectures hardly ever stayed totally on track. Provides videos of him solving textbook problems, and also posts video exam reviews, which were extremely helpful. Gave quizzes once a week.

While he is a nice professor, his material is absolutely useless and he has some material that is straight up has the answers to the problem wrong.
