Collier was one of the easiest and helpful professors I have had. Go to class and keep up with the homework and you will get an A. Tests are the only grades but the tests are exactly like the homework questions he assigned.

Comment:
Clearly compared to others I have not had a good experience in his Class. Homework is fairly easy and material is as well, but test were challenging because he was not straight forward with what he wanted and if you got the question right on the test but did not do it the exact way he wanted he would mark it wrong.

Dr. Collier is the best! He is very clear and thorough in lectures, but he also teaches the "why" behind the math (which not many professors do.) He loves when students ask questions and come to him for help. As for tests, he generally gives the easiest examples for each concept, so they're pretty predictable. Always come to lecture- he's so funny!

Collier is great! A funny guy and also very smart. The class is fairly easy and if you do the homework, you'll do great on the tests. Tests are straightforward which is really nice. Overall, highly recommend!

If you took calculus before, this class will be a breeze. Much easier than high school calculus. Collier is also charming and like to crack the occasional joke making class enjoyable. You don't have to go to class but he does take attendance.

Great teacher. He explains new concepts clearly in class and is more than willing to help students if they come by during his office hours. Best teacher I've had at umw. I signed up for calc 2 with collier after taking calc 1 with him. Would recommend this class to anyone interested in excelling in math.

Tests are consistent with the material covered in class. Homework is optional, but it helps with tests. He grades fairly and is more than willing to help if you ask.

He's so straight forward and will answer any questions clearly and in a different way than how he had already explained it. I was so glad I went with him because I'm not a math major or anything. Great professor!! There's a reason why his classes are always full! He whips out some great jokes if you listen carefully.

Collier is an awesome teacher. The best in our math department as far as I'm concerned. He is crystal clear with his notes. He also loves when you ask questions. All of his homework is optional but I recommended doing it anyways. He pulls a lot of questions from the homework for his tests.

Collier is awesome! I doze off in his lectures at times and his joke attempts are interesting to say the least. But he explains things very well and is very helpful during office hours. Class is based on 4 tests which really arent bad if you study.

Professor Collier is the BEST math instructor I have had in my ENTIRE life. He is SO nice and friendly and adorable and he cracks little jokes all the time. He makes the material super easy to understand and the tests aren't very difficult at all, and often have a curve. You will NOT regret taking his class.

Dr Collier is great! Lectures are REALLY boring but maybe it was because I had learned this stuff in high school. His tests aren't all that bad if you study and your grade is based on 4 tests. Very helpful during office hrs. He is so great that I even chose him as my advisor when I declared my major in math.

Collier is the cutest little man i have ever met in my life. I have never enjoyed a class so much, or been so upset when i had to miss one. He makes everything completely clear and easy to understand, and never makes you simplify complex answers! He's the greatest

I love Collier! He has been my favorite professor! Very clear lectures and examples, reasonable homework, extra credit. He prepares you for the tests well and makes the tests slightly easy because he says he hates grading haha. Very funny and cute for an old guy. Highly recommend!!

Took multivariable calculus with Dr. Collier. Did not like his laid back teaching style. We went agonizingly slowly through the easy material at the beginning of the course. Then at about the 10 week point he sped up and blew through much harder material way too fast. I got all A's on the tests the bombed the final, ended up with a B- I think.

Great class/professor to take if math is not your thing. He is hilarious and kind of adorable, plus he makes sure to explain everything thoroughly and bases grades off three fairly easy tests and every once in a while a homework problem.
