great guy and very helpful. would give extra opportunity for improving grade if you show effort in the class. usually finishes his lesson early and assignments asked are fairly low. if you have a decent understanding of geom. than you will def get an A in his class

Comment:
Although he makes a few mistakes sometimes, he does try his best to make sure each and every student understands the material. He's easily approachable and very helpful. Statistics exams were multiple choice which was the best part. :)

Comment:
Knows his stuff but not always clear in communicating it. Very helpful during office hours, but does expect some material to be learned as homework. Snap if you're math oriented / indy learner, but prob not your best bet if you need more assistance, have problems keeping up, or scheduling issues as attendnce is key.

Comment:
He doesn't seem to know what he is doing. Goes against his syllabus and seems to just dislike teaching. The feeling of "us Against Him" really weighed on the class. He was confused a lot and mumbled insults under his breath.

Comment:
He might teach lower level math well, but in Mathematical Theory he was horrible. He hadn't taught this subject before and his whole thing was he was learning with us. He didn't explain things very well, was overall really lazy, and towards the end he just read from the chapter. It was an easy A but if you are majoring in math I wouldn't recommend.

Great teacher, if you pay attention and attend each class. His pace is brisk, but just right for students who are committed. Highly recommended for diligent students!

Comment:
This teacher struggled at first because he hadn't taught 300 before, but after the 2nd week he got into it. He's pretty good, sometimes has more faith in the class than he should, doesn't have a great command of the class. The tests are pretty easy, all multiple choice. He also keeps a careful eye on attendance.

Comment:
He's a nice enough guy, and I'm sure he knows his math, but when it comes to the class Math Discovery, it seemed like he didn't even read the book. You would be better off reading the book on your own. Even if you don't, it's a pretty easy A. If you want the A, take this class, if you want a challenge, take another.

I'm sure he's a great normal teacher but his "fast-track" 16 week course was horrible and moved way to fast. He did not help at all.

Very fast paced and hard class (16 week course). Mr. Phelan moved too fast and did not explain a lot of material. Not reccomended.

This guy is the best and coolest math teacher by far at ARC. He makes the subject seem really easy and simple the way he explains the material. If you have a phobia of math, I guarantee when your finished with his class your going to love math and have a new found appreciation for it. He's the Man!!

Mr. Phelan was amazing. He went at the pace of the students, and was still able to completely teaches us the subject. Even for a summer class..he made the time.
