I have always believed that teaching is a partnership between professor and student. A huge part of that for me as an educator is reacting to the mood of the class and possibly changing the way one explains the topic. What I enjoy most about this is I get to build and expand my repertoire of different ways to teach a concept. This is part of a much bigger goal of mine to make all my students feel more confident in their mathematical abilities.

Student's Comments:

• "All around, I appreciated this class and what it had to offer me. Whenever I was confused, this class has ALWAYS helped me understand what we learned. Thanks Manny"

• "Manny was one of the best math teachers I've ever had."

• "I appreciate how available Manny was for extra help and how willing he was to answer questions during class. The class was a good learning environment. I appreciated the time and effort he put into teaching the discussion section."

• "I just wanted to say, math is not my favorite subject and I give credit to you for making the topics seem less challenging. You really helped my understanding, and I hope you keep helping other students as much as you did to me."
