LB 119 - Calculus II

Dr. Bell.....my friends and I have a theory...he is a computer. Computers do not make good professors. Dr. Bell is probably the smartest math nerd I know...but horrible at spreading his knowledge...if fact, he tends to suck away any knowledge of math you had when entering the class. I only had pre-calc in high school, which really hurts with this prof.--he has very high expectations of students right from the get-go. He taught my freshmen level calc class like a graduate class. He talks in monotone about 90% of the time, with an occasional smirk or the rare descent joke.
His ideal for math relies on two methods. First, the bag o' tricks. You will learn of these techniques progressively throughout the year...but dont plan on using them, the problems on the homework, quizzes and exams are all to tricky and get around the short cuts. The second method is to stare at the problem and guess the answer. This is of course what he does in class...so he stares at for 3 seconds, asks the class what the answer is, receives the confunded mass stare from the students, and writes the answer on the board like we should have been able to come up with that in our head 2 seconds ago.
Now, the structure of his class. Absolutely no forgiveness. Homework every week adds up to 12% of your total grade. These homework assignments are rediculously difficult most of the time, and Dr. Bell admits this. He says that HW questions are too difficult for exams and quizzes, but in reality he makes the quizzes and exams even more difficult and time consuming. There is one quiz before each of the three midterm exams. Quizzes are 5% each, for a total of 15% of your final grade. As I said, quizzes are difficult, and he is very strict on the LA's not to cover what is on the Quiz right before the Quiz, so...if you dont know what you dont know a week beforehand, you are screwed. Each exam is 15% for a total of 45%. Study for these if you are unfortunate enough to have Dr. Bell. There is a group project, which is not too difficult but comes at a bad time in the semester, which is worth 3% of your total grade. This leaves 25% for the final. Having two hours on the final helps a lot, but the difficulty is still insane.
For some specific examples, the last quiz and last exam in my class were horrible. Dr. Bell admitted that he didnt spend enough time writing them and inadvertently made them way too difficult. He told the class that he would grade accordingly because of his mistake. This "accordingly" amounted to a 25% curve up on the quiz (YAY)....and nothing on the exam (WTF).
Overall, Bell is not a professor to teach the foundations of a course. In my opinion he would be suited for a graduate prof, or perhaps some askew very specific course in mathmatics or computer science/engineering. (By the way, he relates everything to computers, logarithms, algorithms, and of course, Calc 2 and 3...which he covers better than Calc 1)
If you do not have a strong base in calculus before taking calc through briggs, dont take it with professor Bell. Try like hell to get Hanni Nichols or Professor Zeleke. If you happen to fall victim and cant get out, go to class until the drop/refund date or the drop/no grade reported date and if you have not learned anything or just dont like his style.....I strongly advise you to drop. Good Luck.

He's an excellent lecturer, but if you miss something, he's extremely helpful in his office hours.
\Unlike university and other briggs calc II classes, he teaches you more of the theory (which I liked). This does indeed make the class harder, but imo it's easily worth it. Recommended to everyone.

Very hard teacher. If you want to learn, take this class, but do not expect an easy 4.0. In fact, at most expect a 3.5. My buddy that is a Jr now, has 4.0 every class he has taken, minus this one. It is hard.

Calculus I
I'm writing this a year after I took his course, but bear with me because these opinions are extremely valid, to say the least. I am minoring in Mathematics (currently not officially), and I would say that you need to have a love of mathematics to enjoy/get through his course. It is difficult, but if you're in Briggs, get used to it. Bell teaches his course like he should; he expects you to know the information, and you will need to study for the exams and quizzes to do well.
For those of you reading the other reviews, the structure of his class has been changed because it was too hard. I got a 4.0 in his class (and did the Honors option for it), but it was still challenging. You need to know your stuff, make use of office hours (both of Bell's and the LAs), spend time reading the material and doing the homework, go to class, and everything expected of you as a college student.
I work for Bell as one of his LAs, and I personally don't think that he is a bad professor. He teaches you the information, relates it to other concepts in mathematics, and wants you to know the information. Is that too much to ask? Personally, I don't think so, and you must be pretty naive if you think that a COLLEGE course should be a cake-walk. That's what ISS/ISP/etc. course are for, not a Lyman Briggs course.
I do think that sometimes he can be a little tough for a Calculus I professor, but that is mostly due to the students not understanding that not everything a professor says can be meaningful. If Bell starts on a tangent about computer programming, you will almost definitely NOT need to know it, so save yourself the headache and stop worrying about understanding everything he says. That being said, if you do the H-Option, you probably should listen to everything he says, but you like Calculus and doing work, so that shouldn't be a problem for you.
So, if you aren't ready to do the work, then switch out. It will hurt you if you are taking LB 220 and higher, but if you're looking for an easy calc grade, you probably don't care. If you are taking LB 220 and higher, stay in his class; you won't regret it.

First of all, I never ever post so this is a rare, one-time, WARNING. Bell was a great guy, I'll give him that (only reason I'm giving him a 0.5 instead of a 0.0). But for the material that he was supposedly teaching, I think I would prefer to shoot myself in the foot than take him again. He should really be teaching a higher level math class, which is pretty much what this class in disguise. NOT an easy 4.0... whatever crazy person thinks that..
I ended up with a 1.5 (lowest grade I have ever gotten, yeah..) and I had taken calc in high school already, which I got an A in. It wasn't that I didn't try, because I did, but it was just way too hard. I took a homework assignment to the math help center once and the tutor there thought I was in calc 4. Hence, the homework was way too hard for calc 1, even for briggs.
So pretty much if you are unfortunate enough to be stuck in his class, get away as fast as you can, or grit your teeth and hope you don't go beserk/awol/induce post-traumatic stress disorder. If you end up like me, I would recommend retaking it and not keeping a sucky grade.. I'm retaking it with Hanni this summer and am 99.99% sure i'll 4.0 it. What a waste of credit money. And as for Bell's exams, the questions will pretty much never fail to awe you.. they can be HARD. There was one question regarding the cross section of a pyramidal right isoceles triangle.. umm yeah I drew a picture and wrote TOO HARD!.. got a couple points but thats pretty much how I felt about the majority of his questions. Nearly fell asleep during one of the exams actually.. due to lack of any clue as to what was going on.
The only thing that kept me from gloriously burning all of my stuff from Bell's class was that I need it to show to anyone who doesn't understand how I could fail a class that they 4.0ed with Hanni.. really now.. think again.

First the pros: Dr. Bell is super nice and personable and will ALWAYS be willing to take your questions. He doesn't have that intimidating feel like a lot of professors. He'll take questions via e-mail with quick response time. He occasionally curves exams (though not nearly as much as the 25 point one last semester) and he drops 3 quizzes. I found the lectures to really be quite interesting most of the time and he can really get on a roll sometimes explaining things where it seems he doesn't miss a beat. Do the homework and you should probably get at least a 3.0 (regretfully what I got).
The cons: His exams can sometimes totally sneak attack you when he puts questions on them that consume way too much time or have material that would've been appropriate on the LAST exam so you didn't look over it (annoying as hell). His final had some pretty random problems in it too that you would NEVER think were THAT important. But, I think the most annoying thing was the fact that he was poor at managing time so we covered two MAJOR topics in the last two days. Stuff that some of the other classes finished a week or two before so they would be ready for it for the exam. NO ONE should have to do homework during finals week to catch up and learn stuff. However, I think he may just be adjusting to the speed of Briggs calc and I expect that he will be doing better in the future. Honestly, overall, I liked the class.

Unlike the last reviewer, I don't think the class is an easy 4 at all. Basically, if you only took Pre-calc in high school, Calc I with Bell will most likely be VERY challenging (sometimes even unfairly so). Bell's lectures are typically great, but he tends to go on tangents and try to apply the content to other situations, which only got me more confused. His "bag of tricks" did little to help me, and I found myself falling quickly behind as Integrals began. Usually, book problems weren't that difficult, but when time came for an exam, I simply couldn't grasp how to solve his problems. His 5 question, 15% semester grade exams start out easy, just as he claims, but they then evolve into questions that compare little to those given as examples through lecture or readings. If you took calculus in high school, sure, it may be easy to apply skills to these questions and solve his riddles, but otherwise, you may find yourself crippled in frustration.
If you get Bell and have no previous history with Calculus, I suggest doing the homework like he tells you and also getting a tutor. Looking back, I think a tutor would have helped me tremendously, but I didn't realize it soon enough. Professor Bell is a great man, and he really enjoys teaching: his goals and aspirations in life are uncommon in most teachers. However, the appreciation of his style and difficult will likely fester the majority.

Bell is a very nice guy however he is a terrible teacher. He is soooo boring you can't stand to even sit in class. He makes the 50 short minutes feel like 3 hours. He does care how you do, go to office hours and make a point. He is very fair also and will give you the grade you deserve. if you ask a question though, many times it felt like it was worthless asking him since he'd reply with barely looking at it "yah that looks right" and then two seconds later you rephrase the question or ask it again since it really doesnt make sense and he says "oh, yeah you may need to change this slightly" but not tell you where. He's hard to listen to and understand, but he does care and is a good guy. If you didn't have Calc I in highschool (or got lower than a B in highschool Calc I) then i would definitely get a different prof. I loved calculus in highschool even though it was very difficult there too i got A's all year. In Bell's calc class i also got a 4.0 but he made it so i never want to look at another calc problem in my life again. He is one of the worst teachers (or profs) i had. The only reason he gets a 3.0 as opposed to a 0.0 or at least a 0.5 since he's a nice guy, is because i got a 4 in the class. do your selves a huge favor and SWITCH OUT!!!!!!!!

Hated him.
I only had pre-calc in high school and thought that I would be okay in calc. Within my first week, I was having second thoughts, but decided to be stubborn and stick with it.
Let me tell you, that was my first huge mistake. I didn't understand half of what he taught and often found myself completely bewildered by the random tangents he was prone to go on about. I even did my homework, but still didn't understand it (to be fair, my LA sucked too, so I didn't have much help there either).
So my advice: if you're feeling uncomfortable by the end of that first week, drop. If you're stubborn like me, then do the homework, ask lots of questions, and go to his office hours. The last is something that I didn't do but, in hind-sight, wish I did. Perhaps it would have made some difference to my barely-passing grade in the class and I wouldn't have to be playing "catch-up" for the rest of my life...
Overall: avoid at all costs.

Dr. Robert Bell is obviously smart, we can tell this. However, he teaches at a level that's WAY above a freshman Calc I course, and his was the first class I ever failed. According to him, the HW (which is already ridiculously difficult and sometimes even delves into things like number theory and the like) is supposed to be harder than the exams, but this is just not true. If anything, the exams are far more difficult, and on top of that, they are too long to finish in a mere class period of just under 50 minutes. Again, he's obviously smart, but he just doesn't get that some of us are not as good at math as he is, and I could not keep up with his 15 minute tangents about stuff that even Calculus III students might find difficult. All in all, this class was a nightmare.

Dr. Bell is probably one of the nicest professors I've ever met and he wants his students to learn. I went to him during his office hours several times and I was the only person there almost every time. He made several comments to me that he can't stand when students complain about the difficulty of a course and then they don't show up for help. If you go some him, your grade will improve, I'll guarantee it. You won't get an easy 4.0; I had to work decently hard for a 4.0 after taking calc in highschool, but that is LB college for ya. If you can manage an 80 cumulative on your tests, than you can get a 4.0 because he drops the two lowest quizes, homeworks, and groupworks. I loved Dr. Bell!! Good luck!

Dr. Bell is a very intelligent man, but he is not a very good teacher in lecture. I was very bored during lecture because he would explain different concepts, but not specific examples. I would have to go to office hours to figure out the homework, but I should be able to figure out homework by just attending lecture. I never sleep through class but I really struggled to pay attention in this class. He is confusing in explaining problems in class unless you stop him and make him take time to work out examples more so that you can actually follow along with what is going on. Only take him if you have to, and make sure you form a study group to figure out homework.

Goes way too in depth in some of his lectures. I took calc in high school, but not AP, and I had never done some of the things we did in class, so even with going to class and reading the book, I was a little lost. His homework is pretty difficult unless you've already seen some of the stuff before (a lot of "show that this is true for all real values", etc). He is also a hard grader... I do have to say though, he is available and will answer questions (though some of his hints leave you more confused than before).
Try to get another teacher if you are not really comfortable with math, or if you do get him, make sure to read the book and do the practice problems.

Pros: Bell is knowledgeable and can explain things in multiple ways. Bell is personable and really funny, if you listen to what he's saying.
Cons: Sometimes Bell will go off on tangents about something that has nothing to do with what you're learning. And sometimes he explains things rather confusingly.
Bell is a great professor. He makes you work. He doesn't hand out grades. This isn't high school, so if you're expecting to just get an A because you're awesome, no. It doesn't work like that. Do your homework for Bell and ask questions. Go to his office hours. He's much more likely to know you by your name that way and he loves when you ask questions.

Dr. Bell is a new professor at LBS. He teaches some calc and a few higher level math classes. A few kids in my class thought he moved to fast and was too detailed, but I thrived from it. I feel like Bell's teaching style really set me up to do well in higher math classes. Though he is kinda tough, if you actually take the initiative to do the ungraded homework, it's an easy 4. class. I would recommend Bell over Hanni if you plan on going on to higher math classes because Professor Bell really wants you to understand everything and be inspired by it. He is a great lecturer and is helpful in person as well.

I before, that she was at a sever disadvantage for the course. isn't it supposed to be a calc I course though? ya i don't get how that works. Bell also teaches higher level math courses and tends to teach this course the same way he would teach his upper level math courses. If you have Bell in the future i feel sorry for you and if you can get out of it... DO IT!!!

Pros: He really is just too smart to teach this class.
Cons: Difficult homework and exams. Professor expects a lot from students who have never had calc before even.
This class is fast paced and he expects a lot of the students when there's no possible way someone who hasn't taken calc before would know. I suggest switching to any other teacher if you care about your GPA and not killing yourself during exam week. All the exams are rough and include very difficult questions for the amount of time given to do the exam. I do not recommend this class at all.

Pros: Is really good at making abstract ideas seem very understandable. Spent a lot of time making sure we knew how to do proofs. I see a lot of comments on here are complaining about calc classes and I'm assuming thats a bunch of whiny bitches in Lyman Briggs, but for real math classes he is an amazing professor. If you kindof try he will do everything to make sure you know it, he doesn't grade that hard at all.
The best professor I have had so far at MSU.
This is also for MTH 310 but this website is too stupid to let me add a class

Dr. Bell is an extremely intelligent man. He will not treat you like a child, and will expect college-level work from you from day one. He's generally good at answering questions and seems to have your best interests in mind. The course material is extremely difficult, but under those conditions, he did a great job teaching! Also, partial credit on exams is extremely helpful! If you can show him that you understood the material, but just couldn't do the specific problem, you'll get a lot of the points. So helpful!

I enjoyed the class, but I had already taken Calc in high school, so nothing was too bad. The tests are meant to challenge you to think quickly and clearly. For example, you could spend 20 min on one problem or use a trick and do it in 2 min. So depending on how you think, you may not have enough time to finish the exams. If you are really interested in math Dr. Bell is the right prof for this class. However, if you're just looking for an easy 4.0 in calc take one of the other professors.
