He is a good teacher, don't be afraid to ask questions, he will help you. Do the examples because they are similar to the questions that might be in the test. Pay attention, don't be afraid to participate in class, and don't be afraid to reach out to your classmates. Make sure you show your work for test.

I suck at stats! He tried his best to provide every resource out there to help us. He will tell you where to borrow a calculator instead of buying one. The textbooks came with the access code online. So no need to purchase a book unless you dont like ebooks. He did tried his best, it was our job to grab the informations provided. No extra credit!

Professor Macfarlane takes the time out to explain the material to students in order to ensure that they learn and understand, be prepared to read and practice often, and you will be given MyLabsPlus homework and tests that's due weekly.

Barry was a great professor, took him for calc 1 four days a week. The first day would be consist of us going over the theorems and the second day would be examples. He was clear about what would be on tests so there weren't any surprises. The test questions were usually similar to the examples done in class, so make sure to understand the ex.

Professor Macfarlane can seem a bit eccentric at first, but is very bright and cares deeply about his students. He was always available outside of class to explain problems that where giving me issues. He uses mymathlabs, but he modifies the homework regimen to cut out some of the over the top problems that you won't see on the tests.

He is the nicest most caring profesor I have had yet, he opened up all my labs assignments at the end of the course to help bump your grade and drops your lowest test grade!! Honestly if you go to class, take notes, and do the homework his class should be a breeze

You have to be really good at calculus to be in his class and he skips some steps to find answers and no reviews especially on final. Teaches calculus like it is an advance class. Good luck trying to pass his class he marks the littlest thing wrong.

I did not like this professor teaching skills he does not care about your grade all he does is crack jokes all day do your job instead of trying to be a comedian. He does not teach well at all only thing he go by is his PowerPoint. Most math teachers I had well teach step by step on the board. I will give this professor an F.

Amazing teacher, he really cares about his students. You are graded on 3 tests (lowest is dropped), a final and homework. Each weighing 100pts. Attendance is not mandatory, but don't skip too many classes or you wont be able to grasp the material. If there are math events he will give extra credit for participating. Take him!

Graded on 3 tests, a final, and the homework - all equally weighted. Showing up is super important and the more you participate in class the better off you'll be. Doing the homework helps prepare you for the test but he gives an opportunity to polish up the homework at the end of the semester. He is a solid choice, as he knows his material.
