Mac's class is super easy, but keep up on notes. Has his own website in case his lectures are confusing. No quizzes, homework optional but highly suggested. Print HW solutions for your midterm/final!! Open book/binder/notes on MT/Final. Graphing calculator recommended, not required. Book&online is optional. Mac's sense of humor made the class.

Makes learning fun. He loves teaching and interacting with his students. He has a unique sense of humor that will put a smile on your face every class. Great energy, especially for an older professor. Attendance was not mandatory for this class, but I wouldn't miss too many unless you are able to catch up on your own. MyStatLab was used only for HW

Whether you're good at math or not, take this teacher. I was good at math so it was an easy pass for me, but even the students who weren't good at math were getting decent grades and the teacher was always willing to help and the students definitely respected him

One of the greatest math teachers I have ever had. He makes the class fun and reviews any homework you need any help on. His exams are pretty easy if you do a little studying. Such a great guy!

Had to have been the easiest math class I have ever taken. He had these short simple explanations that you actually understood. He actually made class enjoyable, which most teachers can't do at 7:40 in the morning. I think that was the only bad part of the class, it was so early.

Is easily the greatest professor that I have ever had. He transformed me from being someone who HATED math into someone who enjoyed it thoroughly, and made solving calculus problems feel like I was playing a game. He was an inspiration, and will be missed. Hopefully retirement is treating him well!
