Comment:

Professor Meyers is always serious and it makes it seem like he does not care (not true). He can come off as rude and it can make you feel stupid, but it is not intentional. Overall he does explain things well and is helpful during office hours. He lets you have reference sheets on every test.

Would not take his class again, write a word down incorrectly in a math class he will doc you the whole question. Hard to understand and lectures barely made any sense.

Comment:

I have taken AP stats in high school and passed all my BC math classes with A's, but this class was awful. Meyers is extremely condescending with the way he talks to his students, and is a very tough grader with very little room to makeup grades because it is based off of quizzes and tests only.

Comment:

I for one am someone who doesnt do well with math ever. He really helped me understand math. He assigns homework but doesnt collect it because as he says it reflects on the tests. For exams he does let you have a reference sheet out so that way you dont have to have so many symbols and equations memorized. Overall a great professor.

Comment:

The class material was actually enjoyable and even fun, but his personality made class difficult to tolerate. He is rude and condescending when speaking to students and answering questions. His arrogance made lectures dreadful. I have always taken great joy from math, and it's sad that he made this class so intolerable. I do NOT recommend him.

Comment:

I'm currently taking Prof. Meyers and I don't agree with the people on here saying he's a bad Professor. Every Math is a DIY! You have to sit and review with the material. This is college and the Professors won't hold your hand all the way. Go to SI if you're really struggling. He really explains Stats with a passion! 10/10 would recommend him!!

I took the online hybrid where you met once a week. First, he is the writer of his own book and the only way you can get it is if it is brand new. The book itself wasn't helpful it lacked clear examples. Also a different prof does the online lecture. The curriculum felt rushed I had to rush to finish multiple chapters and the final is cumulative

Comment:

I took the hybrid class (lectures online, meeting once a week). There was either a quiz or a chapter exam when you meet for class. He answers any questions that you might have when you meet for class and then you take the quiz or the exam. I would not recommend this if you do not learn well by yourself.

Comment:

Must purchase a new book, not a surprise he wrote the book. Doesn't care about student concerns. Tons of homework, all or none grading scheme. Don't do a single problem out of the 35-40 questions (with four and five parts to some questions), the whole homework is an F. Self-taught class; hope you understand enough to pass his grading.

Comment:

Too HARD. No extra credit. Double-size preference sheet and no preference sheet are the same. He will take your credit on your exam without caring your effort to prepare that preference sheet. If you do not have enough time to complete all homework and you just complete a half of homework, he will give ZERO without caring for what you completed.

You can pass this class no doubt, but this class is not enjoyable simply because of his personality. He is rude and doesn't offer any help. Think of it as a DIY math class

Comment:

Great lectures, make sure to pay attention, attend everyday, and take plenty of notes. He assigns homework everyday, but he doesn't require you to turn it in. My advise... DO THE HOMEWORK! It helps a lot. Plus much of the homework problems are quiz problems.

Comment:

After failing Calc 1 TWO times before, I was able to pass with a B because of Meyers. He is the best math professor at BC, hands down. If you struggle understanding math, take him. He is a fair grader and gives partial credit. He doesn't give loads of homework either. TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO PASS.
