He did not seem like a good professor. He explained concepts very well. This class is tough, since it's college. However, just before the tests he is not available in his office for questions.

This professor is absolutely horrible. He is rude to his students and yelled at my class many times. He gave homework assignments that were ridiculously long. I do NOT recommend taking this teacher unless you absolutely have to.

He cannot and should not be teaching. Worst professor, goes over irrevelant material, doesnt go over homework, very negative, not helpful at all. Good luck if you get him. Try to avoid him at all costs.

Great teacher after you figure out how he teaches. difficult grading system, but drops lowest test grades and homework grades. You will teach yourself in this class. Doesn't go over homework. Isn't very clear in his lecturing, but he gives you all the notes on handouts. If you take him, definitely go to math tutoring for the homework. not that bad.

Nice guy. He's really sweet and genuine, but just not the best at explaining things. I don't reccomend taking his class. I've basically had to teach myself everything.

He's a crazy guy, a lot of people find him rude and often puts down students. But i feel for the guy because he has to teach an elementary math class and no-one gets it, people ask questions that he's already explained. Smart guy, people just have to know about math to take this class.

Very weird teacher. I am very good at math and he is confusing me so much. He is a very big spaz. If you love to work alone and don't like teachers bothering you...take this class..he doesn't teach anything just mumbles on and on then assigns HW.

Comment:
Dr. Cathcart expects a lot from his students but for those who are willing to put in the effort he can be a great resource. A prior comment said he is "the soul reason i dropped my math major." Well he is virtually the soul reason I will attend gradschool. In summary Take the class and stop whining!

WORST teacher ever. Very unfair grader. Yells at you if you don't know the answer. He is the sole reason why I dropped my math major. Most arrogant person I've ever had to deal with. The exams are insane.

HORRIBLE, THE MOST WROST TEACHER EVER IN THE WORLD. DONT TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WILL FAIL FOR SURE. HE DOES NOT ACT FRIENDLY TOWARDS STUDENTS, AND DOES NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS. HE EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING. IF YOU WANT AN EASY F, THEN TAKE HIS COURSE. AGAIN...I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. DON'T DO IT, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Hard class until you figure out his style, write up the homework the way he likes it and you will do good, the tests are easy and he has a portfolio due at the end of the semester which is graded easy if effort is put into it.

Just...don't do it! Even if you're desperate, wait to get someone better. It's just not worth the agaony you'll go through just so you can barely pass the class.

Worst teacher i have ever had!! I took 130 with quillen and got an A. took 230 with cathcart and got a C. He never gives full credit on homework, and will make excuses not to meet with you outside of class. He even told a student he would come an hour early for the final so she could get out early for an appt, and he never showed! DON'T take!!

Comment:
Horrible teacher. Condescending and not very willing to answer questions. In fact, he's been very rude every time I've witnessed someone ask questions in class. Also VERY picky about work...and it's hard to get full credit on homework. I'd stay away if at all possible.
