Comment:

This is the professor to take esp. if you are a math major. He invigorates the subject and makes you think. It's a hard class, but with the amount of enthusiasm Geller has in the subject even after 20 years of teaching, the effort is worth it. At this level of math you need to understand what's going on, not just memorize. He will help you do that.

Comment:

Took Calculus II over the summer with the fear of failing since Calculus has never been a easy subject, especially during summer. Prof Geller is simply amazing, he made difficult concepts easy to understand. He is caring and makes sure everyone is on track. He will answer all your questions, and also tell you exactly what will be on the exams. BEST

Comment:

Geller is great, he makes sure everyone is on board before moving onto the next subject. He will tell you exactly how his test questions will be asked and how to answer them,that is basically the whole lecture, just everything you need to know for the test. Very flexible with due dates, allows you to make them up if missed.

Comment:

hate math & after Geller am considering taking an extra class of his. rare gem of a prof. breaks concepts into bite size pieces. will explain until everyone understands. doesn't rush. no study guides, lays out clearly what to expect. Uses ConnectMath (better than MML). 4 tests plus final. replaces lowest test grade w/ final grade if it helps you.

Comment:

Had him for online pre cal. Gives NO partial credit for computer grading mistakes, and does not provide any help or communication. If you are .0000001 off on an answer, you will get zero credit because he is too lazy to check his own students' tests.

Mr. Geller can be really rude at times. Numerous times he has yelled at me in class and embarrasses me in front of everyone. I feel as if I am unable to ask questions or I will be ridiculed for not understanding.

Comment:

I'm sure he's a great professor for in person/ lecture classes, but for online pre-calculus he is the WORST online professor I have ever had. I've taken online math classes before (and gotten a 99) and the teacher still makes videos/ notes to help teach. He did none of this. All he does is give pre-made assignments that I'm sure he has never seen.

Comment:

Absolutely amazing professor. Geller made the "hardest section of calculus" easy. Sadly I ended up with a B because I missed the first week due to personal reasons, but I believe an A would've been achievable. Do the optional homework if you want a good grade. Geller loves to joke around, but he's very knowledgeable.

Comment:

He was an awesome professor! Clearly loves math and it's evident in his lectures. Very disorganized, but name a mathematics professor who isn't. Assigns homework from the book; not graded, but still do it! No test reviews, so he takes questions based of that assigned homework. There is NO extra credit, so make sure you study well for the tests.

Comment:

I took college math with him, and I was able to understand everything. That's why i decided to take Pre-Cal online. Don't expect reviews for the tests, homework is super essay with videos and examples if you don't understand, test are a kinda though but you have to tries in every answer. The final exam was a blessing, because it was like homework.

I totally share this comment "I took him for online PreCalc. He never gave reviews for exams so I felt like I was going into the exam blind. The actual work itself isn't hard, but you need to memorize every single formula, which there are TONS, in order to pass an exam. He never answers emails or extension requests for homework."

Very direct teaching style. He has a passion for math and helping others understand it. He is patient and works to make sure that every student gets a concept before moving on. That said, he will NOT just hand you an A. No extra credit, and it's math so any mistake makes your answer wrong; attention to detail is a skill honed in this class.

GREAT teacher! The best math prof I've EVER had! Explains everything so well, repeats as many times as you need. I had him for Algebra II and wish I had him for Calc. Textbook not needed but lab access is, that's where the h/w is. There's a link to the textbook as an ebook and it's free with the lab. Go to class, do the h/w, and you'll pass!

Comment:

Geller is an amazing prof, probably the best math professor I have ever had, he explains things very clearly and is more than happy to explain things multiple times if need be. His tests are tough but that is mainly because the material is tough, though he is a very fair grader. Great guy cant recommend enough.

Gives homework on "connect math". The homework does not match the way he teaches it in class and it can be very confusing. He makes math as interesting as it can be. Fair with missing class and missing tests and homework.

Exercises are needed. No due homework, he provides selected questions on the book suggests you to do and you can always ask whenever you don't understand. No note on Exams, but do give reviews. No extra credit.
