Comment:
As an online math professor, he is very helpful with questions and explains in detail. He is patient and is good for slow paced students. He does not put in homework grades until the end, so if that's a deal breaker, don't take. Overall no complaints, good professor.

Tests were the only grades. Monotone voice when teaching but does well to explain concepts. Doesn't like it when students don't comment or ask questions, he wants active participation. I'd say he grades a little easier, distributes points separately for shown work and answers allowing leeway. He'll be there if you need help.

Comment:
Professor Steinfort was an awesome teacher, he works with his students if you make the effort to communicate. Learning math online is already extremely difficult but he helps at trying to make it easier! Would take this class again but in person because I like to ask lots of questions and online doesn't help with that.

Professor Steinfort is great. We only did tests for our class and they were not that bad. There are lots of videos to help you through the class. Overall pretty good class and professor.

Comment:
Mr. Steinfort is the worst and the toughest math teacher I have ever had! He only grades test not the assignments. If your are beginner like me, you are going to have hard time (Especially ESL students). HE expect you to know all before you enrolled in one of his class. DO NOT TAKE CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR ONLINE IN PERSON CLASS!

I took this class online and I would not recommend it, Michael Steinfort is an amazing teacher but if you are a question asker please do not take this class online. I had to because of COVID and it's been extremely stressful and I am a student who likes to be on top of things and I put the work in. It's so hard to remember when it's spread out

Comment:
He only grades tests. Professor Steinfort seems like he doesn't care. I tried many times speaking up asking for help but he makes you feel dumb after asking and puts students on the spot. Also he gives long lectures and moves too fast. I was always good in math but he made class hard. I had to drop it to not ruin my GPA. Do not take him.

Comment:
He is a nice person and he teaches very clear, however, his voice is very monotone and calming so you need to make sure to stay awake which can be very hard. He is a traditional (no technology) teacher, but he is fair with grading and he will always help you if you need tutoring or more resources to succeed.

Comment:
Just finished MA97 with him. Though he's a bit dry & quirky, he's humble, kind, and fair. Passionate about math, he will go out of his way to help you. Grades solely on tests; suggests you do homework (so do I!) in order to be prepared for the tests. Makes himself available during class, inviting you to "put him to work." I will take 98 with him.

Comment:
His lecture's tend to be dry/monotone for the first few weeks but once he warms up he's a really nice guy. Lots of homework, but you get some time each class to work on it and get help from him if needed. Always willing to help, but if you don't understand something, he isnt great at explaining it another way. Homework not graded, just 7 tests.

Awesome, awesome teacher! Uses his time wisely and explains subjects you dont understand! He doesnt grade homework but you have to do the homework to understand whats going on in class. Other than that, hes great! He does only grade by quizzes and tests but he grades fairly. He can be monotone but he makes sure you understand and doesnt rush!

Professor Steinfort is a great professor; he explains the material well, willing to help when asked, is respectful, and grades quicker than any professor I've ever had. He has four tests and one exam as part of the grade, so make sure you do well on all of them. A good indication that you'll ace a test is if you've mastered all the homework.

He is very fair and moves slowly through the material. I always felt like I could ask questions and would explain the answer until I understood. You must attend this class each time or you will fall behind. It's a math class, so each lesson builds on its self. Only 4 tests and the final. The home is not checked but I would recommend doing it.

Comment:
Not my favorite professor. I'm great at math when I have a decent teacher but I struggled here. He caused asking questions in his class to be a spotlight on students. At points, I would make minor mistakes on tests and he'd take away 5 points even if I showed that I understood it. Don't take this unless you want to get a tutor. (only grades tests)

Mr. Steinfort can be a little hard to read and a little intimidating at first. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he will try to answer your questions. I appreciate the fact that makes time during class to go over the homework given. He is engaging so be ready to answer questions in class. I would take him again.

Has office hours, used text book, gives homework every night and make sure you do it because it does prepare you for tests. He does teach different and faster than other professors but he makes sure you understand it. If you ask questions he knows youre trying to learn so he always makes sure you personally understand it.

My whole life i thought i couldnt math. I took steinfort for 98+107 and absolutely loved it. I built history with him and look forward to his class. I sit front row and always ask question. With math, you have to put the time in to get good results. I see it inspires him when i understand new material. He wants his students to succeed. PRACTICE

He is a terrible professor. He flies through the material. His book & teaching style is different from every other math professor. Which confuses tutors when they try to help you. By the end of year, he gives up on his students. He also has terrible office hours. I dont recommend him at all.
