Great teacher who explains everything very well. He cares about the students success and has accessible office hours. I'm not sure if he is returning next semester, but if he does, I would recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

If you have the chance to take Teague do it. I don't care if it is at 10pm on a Friday night. Just do it. He is the best math teacher for higher level maths at Santa Fe. He makes whatever he teaches easy to grasp and learn. Sadly, I think this may be his last semester. But if its not, it would be a mistake to not take him.

Comment:

Professor Teague was great and you can tell he knows his material extremely well. He explains things in great detail to make sure you understand the underlying concept. MAC1147 is an intense class with 5 tests, and a final, but he made it more bearable. The only drawback is he would often teach a few minutes past the end of class. Highly recommend!

Comment:

Professor Teague was wonderful! He is caring, hilarious, and gives great lectures. His MAC1147 class is intense and test heavy, and he gives almost no extra credit. Thus, a student must pour time into this class in order to do well. Professor Teague is very accessible outside of class though, and makes student success his top priority.

Comment:

When I took Teague for trig the experience was a complete nightmare. He was rude, condescending, and unwilling to help explain things outside of class. I thought I was just horrible at trig, until I ended up retaking the class with another professor and getting an A. Unless you're extremely good at math and can do all the work alone, stay away.

Comment:

Bruce was an excellent conveyer of knowledge. He explains mathematical concepts with absolute clarity and is willing to explain anything that you do not understand if you ask him. He even makes jokes every once in a while. Always gives partial credit on tests if you show work as well. He is an overall great person. Take him period.

No curves. 2.5pts extra credit on homework if you do it 24hrs BEFORE the actual due date. Homework is on Webassign. Gives you 3 free absences and then starts to lower your participation grade. No excuses valid for missing- doctor's notes don't count. Gives feedback on errors. Quizzes are take home. Good at answering emails. Notes are on worksheets.

Comment:

This class was extremely hard for me b/c I tend to struggle with math and this course req. a lot of memorization of formulas and techniques. Also, Teague is a tough grader. However, he is the most clear and organized professor I have ever had. He tells you exactly what he wants and how he wants it. It's up to you to do the work. Glad I took him.

Comment:

Bruce Teague is kind, fair, fascinating, funny, and a great teacher. Unfortunately he's also retired. He did hint at coming back part-time though, so if you have the chance to be one of his lucky students, take his class. You won't regret it. He makes math simple and interesting even when dealing with complex theories. Take his class. Period.

Comment:

Professor Teague is retiring after the Fall D term of 2016, but he is still dedicated to his classes and expects his students to work hard. WebAssign for homework and quizzes, but all of the problems listed match closely to the examples done in class. Attendance is a grade. If you have a question, he will make you wait until until office hours.

Professor Teague was great to have for Trig. He covers everything in class at slow pace. 8 quizzes two parts on 7 with take home portion and online portion. 3 tests then final exam. two part test one w/calculator and one w/o calculator. He uses Webassign so easier to buy straight from the website. Check your email everyday. Overall good class.

Teague is the best prof. I have taken. I can say that I am heavily prepared for what UF has in store for me after taking him.. He is extremely thorough in his teaching and focuses on students understanding concepts of the material being taught. His office hours are life savers as well if you don't understand a topic he went over. Thank you Teague!

This class was extremely hard for me (math does not come naturally to me), but Teague is a very good professor. He explains things thoroughly and if you go to his office hours or email him he WILL help you. This class is not an easy A, you have to work for it, but you will know your stuff when you're done.

Comment:

He treats his Honors students like grown ups and expects us to reach out to him when we are struggling. His explanations are very clear. If you attend class and study the mini grades you should have no problem getting an A in his standard course or his honors course. Only difference is that honors has an easy semester project.

Comment:

Professor Teague was an exceptional teacher. He is very straightforward with what he wants from you. The only negative feedback I can give is that the final covers trig & precal so things can get tricky (Should have been split up into a midterm for precal and final for trig). Took chem 1 w chamusco at the same time so I was more focused on that.

Comment:

Professor teague is the best math professor i have ever taken. His pace is perfect and doesn't expect you to remember everything from your past math class so he will teach from zero. his test are very fair he will tell you exactly what he will be expecting. if i could take my entire calculus series with him i would. I RECOMMEND HIM LIKE NO OTHER.
