Comment:
MATH 1242 is a hard class. John and Desire Taylor more or less run the department: They make the notes, they make the tests. Take one of them if at all possible. I took Dr. Taylor by proxy, as I took MATH 1242 online and watched recordings of his lectures. Still, they made sense, and were very well explained. I was never left with any questions.

Take John or Desire Taylor if you must take Calculus at UNCC. These are the ONLY good teachers. John is slightly better. Both structure the class the same way and give extra credit, curves, and drop lowest tests. They could teach Calculus to anyone.

Professor Taylor is a very clear and precise professor. He gives specific instructions as to how he wants you to format answers - follow them. Print off his notes and bring them to class. The test reviews he gives are exactly like the exams. He forms his material for engineering students, which is great for prepping for physics and engr 1202.

Professor Taylor knows what he's talking about when it comes to math. He's very lecture heavy, the entire class is him reading the notes and doing practice problems. He's one of the most respected calc teachers at UNCC. Bonus: If you miss two or less classes he'll take your lowest test grade and replace it with your final grade.

Comment:
Everybody loves this guy but I don't really see why. I'd only recommend him if you already know what you're doing. I was lost at the beginning and never caught up. He goes at a very fast pace which isn't my style. He's a nice guy and is extremely smart, but I wouldn't recommend him if you're struggling with Calculus.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! You think Calculus is hard, take John Taylor he is a miracle worker in education! You do NOT even need the textbook his lectures are so good with his notes, the tests are basically exactly identical to class notes and study guides. He is THE BEST TEACHER at UNCC! I love his teaching styles! GO JOHN TAYLOR!

Dr. Taylor was outstanding in Modern Algebra! I had another professor and had to drop because the other professor was awful. Dr. Taylor very clear and awesome! He made this material very clear and taught through patterns. Also, I took this course over the summer which makes it even more difficult, but not with Dr. Taylor. Taylor is simply the best!

Dr. Taylor is awesome. He is great at explaining hard concepts and will gladly help you after class or in office hours as needed. He wants his students to succeed and gives you all the resources you need. Test grading is a bit unfair, however, because a simple mistake can cost you almost half a letter grade on your test. Be careful.

Dr. Taylor is the best calculus teacher at UNCC. With his printed notes and excellent teaching skills, you will know calculus like the back of your hand. I took him for calculus I and II and I can say that he is the best math teacher I have ever had. Also, do not skip class because he gives extra credit at the end of the semester.

John Taylor is the best calc prof hands down. Not only does he methodically go through examples for you to study, but his notes are organized, his practice tests give you the best study material possible, and the homework is hard, but makes the tests easy. I had a 94% average on tests, but I got an 83% on the final and BARELY got an A.

Great professor! Yes, Calculus II is tough. There is a lot of homework and the tests are difficult. However, test reviews prepare you for the unit tests, which prepare you for the final. Good at showing all steps and explaining theories. Highly recommend Dr. Taylor. Anyone who reviews him poorly is delusional and should be ignored. (See ex. below)

If you can, take Dr. Taylor for Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. He works through problems step by step and explains very clearly. Go to class and do the test reviews (which look identical to the actual test) and you'll get a good grade. Try in Calc 1 and its an easy A. Calc 2 is more difficult, but is an easy B if you really memorize the formulas.

This class is hard as heck, but Dr. Taylor sure makes it worth it. The man is a legend. A true god among men. I've never met a man who is so confident that he does math with a bullet shell pen that he ordered from the NRA magazine. He looks like he should be over a construction site, but here he is teaching you advance math. A true baller.

An amazing professor. Makes everything clear and understandable. Can only have 3 absences before it starts affecting your grade. Never used the textbook so I don't recommend buying unless you need extra practice. Taylor cares for the students a lot and will help you whenever needed.

Amazing professor. Seriously. Calc2 is incredibly challenging but Dr. Taylor makes it easy to understand and find patterns. He prepares us well for exams, gives thorough notes, and records his lectures so we can use them to study later. He is a fantastic teacher, very patient, and quite funny. I cannot recommend him highly enough. 11 out of 10!

Best math teacher hands down. Calc 2 is not that hard. You just have to memorize and recognize patterns. Print out his notes (188 pages) and dont miss class. You can do well.
