Prof. McCartin is the best professor at Kettering University. He gives nightly homework which is all you need to prepare for an exam. He grades based on 3 exams and the final. He provides a practice exam which is EXACTLY the same as the exam you will get, simply with different numbers substituted in. Do the practice exams and get easy A. :)

He knows what he is talking, however I had some family problems at the beginning so the first test was a bust. So I worked my butt off and did all the homework, but when I took the second test I mixed up inches and feet. He marked me down 20% for it, which brought from a 98% to a 78%. About a third of my class had to drop it including me.

McCartin is a fantastic teacher. Is hilarious but can be very very intimidating. He students in his course a signed book for each of the top test grades. The tests are VERY hard, but they are just like the crib. Attempt the homework nightly, study the crib with friends the weekend before the test religiously (15 hrs) and you will do very well.

Best Math professor I've had at Kettering. He is hilarious and charismatic but knows how to be serious and stern when needed. Make sure to study or you will fail. Material isn't even that hard and he shows that in his lecture. Highly suggest, you won't regret it.

Awesome professor who is really passionate about the class. Very real life example based questions. The tests can be a little scary, and the cribs tended to be easier than our tests. Tough grader on certain aspects but gives partial credit generously.

He is very brilliant. He is a tough but fair grader. He is very intimidating at first, but if you do your work and make good grades he becomes less scary. Homework is not mandatory but highly recommended.

Overall decent professor, he does well communicating the course material and answering questions in class, but if you fall into trouble with your grade he is very sarcastic and rather unapproachable, he does not enjoy working with struggling students

Awesome Diff Eq professor and by easily the best professor I've had at Kettering. Make the subject interesting by relating it to real people and real life problems and he had a very light hearted vocab. Smartest man I have met.

Best prof I've had in the math department. Actually, makes you understand the material is very helpful. Great being in his class and he does not over exhaust you with homework problems he gives you enough to be able to understand the material.

Awesome professor. Lectures are never dull and you leave understanding what you just learned (if you payed attention). Very cribbable, in fact he'll provide you with them even. Always shows real life examples too. He understands we're not math majors which is huge. Take if you can for anything

This professor is the cream of the crop. If you want to learn, and love math then this is the Professor to take. He knows his stuff, and use real world applications. Clear, concise, logical deductions on all processes. Goes over a test extremely similar to the real test a day beforehand. Excellent Course. Going to take him again.

He is one of the best professors I have had at this school. He knows the material and knows how to teach it to every type of student. He is extremely helpful and you will learn what you need to learn and you won't be bored to death. Take him if you can!

Comment:
I previously took a calculus course. I was able to obtain a tenuous grasp of what I had previously learned. It seems like the professor is a bit too qualified for the position of teaching such a relatively bottom-level course. He surprised me at his understanding and extreme knowledge of mathematics in general.
