Dr. Neal, is a good person, but likes word problems to much. I feel like i wasnt being taught algebra, but i was in a basic/intro Physic's class. He talked more about gravity, velocity, and weight functions more than we talk about algebra.
The class is OK, no book is needed, because Dr neal gives you packets each week, that go over how to do certain problems, and also gives you answers to those problems and shows how to solve them. There is no Homework to turn in, not even the problems you can chose to work on the packets (they are just for your own practice purposes).
There are a handful of quizzes just about every friday, which are pretty easy, and helpful since some of them offer extra credit.
There are 4 test, all of which contain word problems (they suck!!) If you dont understand the material on the test fully, dont expect to 'wing' it.
Attendence is a MUST, just because its a basic math class, and attendence is a must in all of them. You can miss up to 3 (i think) and thats the most, without dropping a full letter grade.
Overall: I would take this class...
1) if you had no other choice
2) like words problems
or..
3) like recieving bad grades because in some weird way, you like D's and F's. :)
