Comment:

Dr. Macula notices when a student is working hard and genuinely cares about the class. Classes are not mandatory, but I suggest going as well as going to office hours. If you can't go to office hours, Dr. Macula helps find a time that will work also. The textbook was very useful for me for the homework and notes. Class notes are also useful.

Comment:

This was one of the worst math classes Ive taken, to the point where I failed. He didnt explain the homework he gave in class, he just introduced a new topic every meeting; dont skip those. The tests are straight forward, but the software he uses requires explicit typing skills that can mess you up. Be prepared to work hard for the credits.

Horrible! Avoid if you can. I took calc all online and he basically told us to teach it to ourselves from the textbook. He skips over basic concepts and just expects you to understand 300 level calc when it is a 100 level class. Also does not answer emails

Gives a lot of homework but it helps significantly on the tests. Often pulls questions EXACTLY from the homework for the exams. All homework is from the textbook. All the odd answers are in the back, and if you google the even questions you WILL find the answers online.

Comment:

THE WORST MATH PROFESSOR AT GENESEO. The fact that he has not taught Calc 1 in 15 years to freshmen made it hard for him to talk to us as students instead of colleagues. He would also constantly call the class "scientists" in a math class as well as focusing more on physics then calculus itself. Avoid him as a professor at all costs. Trust me!

They say if you cant explain something to your grandmother you dont understand it. By that measure Prof. Macula doesnt understand the material. I dont think thats true as hes obviously smart, but I couldve just read the text and skipped the lectures as they didnt help...

Comment:

So bad. Expected us to teach ourselves complex math ideas. When asked to explain a HW problem he didn't even know how to do the problem he had assigned us, and then would do a different problem... He put in the absolute bare minimum he could and tests on the hardest version of problems and then blamed the class when we all failed. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:

He is a brilliant man, but he has difficulty bringing the information to a learnable level. He hasn't had to do Calc 2 on his own in years; he occasionally confuses you more by taking everything to an unnecessary level of difficulty. But, he loves what he teaches and I think everyone interested in math should take a course with him.

Comment:

Macula seems like a very smart man, but he was not a good Calc 3 teacher at all. He was not prepared at all in class and he hasn't taught it in years, but honestly every thing I learned in this class came from me reading the book. His only grades come from the tests but fortunately they're not bad. I will not be taking a class with him again.
