Comment:

Take him if you have an interest in learning how you learn. Don't take him if youre used to having someone teach you how to learn. He is worth it if you know what you dont know. Heleads u towards an answer that u realize on ur own. He wont tell you. USE THE BOOK. do everything as he says and read everything. Hes only hard if u want it easy.

Comment:

He doesn't assign homework but he expects you to read and understand the materals before class.If you plan to take his class, be ready to put in the effort to learn the materials.He doesn't give you the solution to solve a problem b/c there are too many solutions out there.It's up to YOU to find the solution that works for you.GREAT TEACHER!

Comment:

The absolute worst person to be labeled as a teacher. He does not teach. He doesn't even know how to figure a problem. A 3rd grader can do his job. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS AT ALL! Only take his class if you are prepared to do everything yourself and teach yourself because this guy is completely useless.

This teacher doesnt teach anything i recommend not taking his class because you dont learn anything in his class because he wants you to learn. We had about 60 people in the class and at the end only three peopel stayed who barely passed so DONT TAKE HIS CLASS

Comment:

Wow. Mr. Mclaurin is ten-yeared, which means he can not be fired from his job. However, he is not the best teacher to take when doing higher math. Mr. Mclaurin could definitely benefit from some college math courses himself. Its amazing how the state of California could hire someone like this when there are other highly qualified teachers.

Comment:

He just tells you to do practice problems, afterward he just takes a vote on the answers and move on. He doesn't even tell you which one is right or wrong. I can't learn anything at all in here. "Exact answer in the simplest mathematical form" Thats ALL he says in that class. And "Do practice number "A"" WTHCK!

Comment:

There are many teachers out there who aren't meant to be teachers. Mr. McLaurin is one of them. He does not belong in a classroom. He never addresses questions, and he doesn't teach at all. He expects students to know everything the moment they walk in his door. Which makes me wonder if he understands math himself at all.

Comment:

Horrible teacher, he refuses to actually teach you. If you ask a question he asks you a question in return instead of answering your original question. I tried to make it the whole way through, but he made me miserable. If you asked if you got a question right during class examples his answer is "i don't know did you". Do NOT take this teacher!

Comment:

waste of time.. only exams make up your grade.. doesn't teach at all.. he will ask for any questions and once you ask he will ask you a question about why you do not know how to do the problem.. what!!?? four seconds before class ends he will make a dead bolt toward the door so when class is done he is the first one out of the room.. do not take!!

Comment:

You will not pass this class if you do not attend. He expects you to read the book and understand with no help. He will go over subjects he feels needs more explanation or the way he wants to see the answer. Hence, you have to come to class. Don't ask any questions he will not answer. If you do not learn from reading textbooks, do not attend.

Comment:

DR. (he likes to be called "DR") McLaurin is stil livin' military life! He references his "past life" all too often stating, "that's YOUR world, not MY world." What the hell? Aren't we all part of the same world? Not in HIS world. This man needs to live in the REAL world! Loves the sound of his own voice! Teaching definitely NOT his calling!

Comment:

I wish I had known about this site before I had enrolled in his class. Please, listen to the previous raters. He is NOT a teacher that will help, nor support, you. If you ask a question, you will not get an answer; only a story that applies to nothing. His teaching-style is unsupportive and out-dated. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.
