He left our class two weeks in and we ended up with a student for a prof all semester. It was terrible.

Useless, less than useless if thats possible. Something is wrong with him. If he did anything else this poorly for a living he would have been fired long ago.

I only took it with him cause i had too. He complicates simple things and doesnt spend enough time on harder stuff.

A great guy, nice to talk to, keeps a good pace, which makes you pay attention, and has a good sense of humour. (that is as far as mathematicians go at least)

Comment:

He's so monotone, its impossible to stay with him. Personally to do well in a course, the prof needs to grab my interest in the subject, McKeller definitly doesn't do that for. With him as a prof you'll spend hours in the math help centre!

Comment:

I can understand some of the comments because he does move fairly quickly, but that's the same for all classes. He gives really good examples and if you pay attention it's really easy. I really enjoyed the class.

Comment:

This 4' tall man teaches pretty fast, has a Monotone voice, and is not helpful at all. Most of us had never been taught linear algebra before and not much has changed since taking his course. Keep up, he moves quickly.

Very fast with notes. This is to be expected in University (you're not children anymore). At least this professor gives good examples for you to learn from. Voice is monotone and hard to stay with him sometimes.

Comment:

I have been going to university for 4 years, and he DEFINITELY is one of the worst professors I've ever had. In fact, I had to drop the class. Dont worry, there are better teachers out there. He goes TREMENDOUSLY too fast. You ask where he got something and he looks at you like a child and says "wel

Horrible prof!! I love math but he went so fast I had to drop the course. I even asked him to slow down but he said all the other courses were going the same speed so I asked someone in one of the other courses and they were way behind us!!!

Comment:

Teaches way too fast. At least two of us pointed this out to him and he indicated there was a lot of material to cover. But, in the end, taught material that we didn't need to cover so frankly I think it's an excuse. This is the only Math professor I'v
