Comment:

Prob-Stat was terrible with him. He went way to fast through everything and assumed students understood as easily/quickly as he does. Very little help in office hours. His examples are the super-easy kind, such that when you try doing a real problem (HW) you can't find any similarities and apply the methods.

Excellent professor. Well organized and prepared. He's sort of soft-spoken and can be boring at times, but he's great. His tests are hard though and he gives weekly quizzes.

Comment:

John Maybee is simply the best professor in the engineering school, and perhaps the best mathematics professor at the university. You have to be very ignorant to miss an opportunity to be in his class. He is extremely well organized and his method of teaching is wonderful.

Good teacher, very clear. I'd recommend him over most of the other APMA teachers. Plus, no mandatory homework is a huge plus.

Comment:

He is extremely organized and genuinely wants his students to learn. He does tons of example problems and that's pretty much all you need to study. He takes attendance, but I don't think it really affects your grade unless you miss a ridiculous amount of classes. Take his class!

YOU WANT MAYBEE! He is AWESOME! One of the best prof. I've ever had. I love calc so I'm biased, but his teaching style is very organized and well thought out. He's very willing to help.

Prof. Maybee is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes a fairly difficult subject understandable and interesting. He believes in teaching students to learn, not to intimidate. Overall a great teacher and person.

If you take a long time to complete tests, don't take this class with Maybee. His tests were incredibly long....I never finished a test. However, his notes are clear and well organized. Will def help you learn.

Comment:

Most helpful professor Ive had in college probably by a long shot- he really cares about his students and works hard to prepare lessons that make the material understandable. I had him for 212 also which is a lot harder than 311 but I would try to take any class he teaches he is very good

Comment:

The best math professor I've ever had. He made Prob/Stat easier to get through. He is an excellent teacher who has developed a methodology for teaching and learning. I don't know how he does it. He makes difficult material easy, and he knows exactly how hard to push you. The homework and tests are all reasonable. The quizzes can get you though.

Comment:

One of the few genuinely good people I know ... actually cares about teaching the subject and the people he's teaching. Makes himself available for extra office hours when asked and near tests. One of the few teachers who actually gives a damn about his students. Really Nice guy. Frame Game Rules!

Maybee is a great teacher. He really wants everyone to understand what it is he's teaching. He offered to hold special problem sessions for people who were behind in the class.

Very unhelpful for those who were unfamiliar with Calculus--actually suggested that they consider leaving the engineering major in class.

Comment:

Nice guy, explains well, and has good notes. it doesn't even seem like a labor to goto class. The class schedule is really structured so you always know what you getting into, quizes are at the end of every fourth hour, very straight forward, and the material is the stuff you had just gone over during the fourth hour homework review session
