Reviews of professor Daniel Stevens

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He was a great professor! I will warn you about his writing assignments, I had a bit of trouble with them and went for help from the online math tutors Valley provides. They are graded for accuracy so keep that in mind. He DOES drop 2 of your lowest scores for them and it goes the same for the mylab homework.

he has prerecorded videos which are as vague as ever. he constantly messes up and confuses me. the notes seem so easy, but homework and quizzes are like three times harder questions. its like he posts the work because he has too, not because he likes what he is doing. i dont feel like im learning, just getting the work done.

Always very helpful. Goes above and beyond to make sure that you understand. If you show up and take notes it should not be a difficult class.

Overall he was a good professor and I liked the online homework site used. He was willing to help and would respond to emails pretty quick if I had questions. One thing that I did not love about his class was that the lecture examples were straight from the book, so the book didn't help with different practice problems if I was stuck on something.

Finite math with Mr. Stevens is an easy A if you show up and follow along. He posts outlines for notes on Moodle to print out before class which makes note taking very straightforward. There are 4 tests and a final with review days before each test. The homework is online on MathLab and you have unlimited trys to get the questions right.

this guy made learning middle school and high school math 10x harder than it needed to be. he makes instructional videos for each lesson, which is meh, until you do the hw or quizzes and realize everything on it isnt covered in his videos! theyre always harder! textbook is also meh, but if you can, get a different teacher.

Mr Stevens managed to turn one of my favorite subjects into a constant source of anxiety. Expectations were unclear and success in this course was determined by your ability to mimic lectures. MathLabs assignments used approaches conflicting with lecture methods adding to confusion. on 3/3 occasions, my questions on course material went unanswered.

The videos he has posted are years old... I don't blame him by reusing his old videos, but it seems lazy. I get it if he wants to spend time with his family and live his summer. Just like the rest of us but we should all put in our effeort. Not a bad professor but would have liked to see my money go to a more present professor...
