This class was rough. The class average on the exams was in the low 60s, meaning the class average was not passing he said he's supposed to curve our exams based on topic mastery but he took forever to explain what the hell that even meant that our entire class was lost on what that meant. He assigns 3 homework assignments each week consisting of 10-15 problems were week that took forever to complete. The pearson website he uses requires an extremely picky format when you type in answer and also gives you really hard problems such as using 4 IBPs and 1 partial fraction that problem alone took the class an average of 5 hours to complete. The quizzes were annoying but fairly predictable and not too hard as long as you studied the worksheets briefly beforehand, just annoying to lose every Tuesday over a diff equ quiz when I could have been studying for my other 2 classes. The exams were unpredictable and were graded very harshly. Good luck getting regrade requests approved there was one question where i asked for a regrade request got it denied because my explanation needed to be word for word like my graph, which was 100% correct nevertheless got 1/8 for that question when any other math teacher at this school would have given me a 6/8 I believe. This class also has pre-lectures videos that are like 90 minutes long with dogs barking and kids screaming. They cover the same material as the lectures and are completely unneccessary to your overall learning in my opinion. He was extremely helpful in office hours but that didn't make up for his insane homework, insane lecture prep, and unfair grading. On top of all of this, professor never had the TA do discussion instead they were tutorial session to help you get points back on quizzes. I would have far preferred actual discussions and homework problems out of the textbook instead of pearson just like every other math class. I am writing this review before grades are posted because he is taking forever and I am an extremely impatient person. Anyhow, do NOT takes this class it will ruin your life and in order to even get a good grade you will need to priortize it meaning your other grades will likely go downhill which is what exactly happened to me.

Class content itself wasn't terrible but Professor Roper was not great. Here is why:

1) Flipped Lecture: You have to watch videos beforehand and come in for questions / review; not bad in itself but I personally prefer learning in person for math classes. He also does not even post the worksheet solutions because "he doesn't have the bandwidth". Really? You're being paid to teach; I think that is the bare minimum. especially if you aren't even teaching live and you're using pre-recorded videos from the past.
2) Weekly Quizzes: not bad either but some quizzes were not given enough time, stressful every Tuesday night.
3) Piazza: Piazza exists for getting quick clarifications but Professor Roper takes ages and sometimes does not even respond. What is the point of this then? This is the worst part. He additionally takes too long to post the lecture notes that include what the quiz content would be.
4) Homework: Workload is a good chunk; homework assigned PER lecture (usually 10 multi-part questions) so we had to like what 10 weeks x 3 homework each week. Not typical of any 31 series or 32 series I have taken.

Overall, he's not a bad person but he is just not organized nor responsible in having the student's learning experience in mind. This class would be bearable if he could just routinely post lecture notes right after class and respond on Piazza.
