The professor is literally perfect. I just wish he taught higher level math like calculus more often. I want to take him for all my math. Teachers take lessons from Quinlan!!!

Comment:

Quinlan is a baller. I loved his 141 class that I took in the 2017-2018 school year. It was a tough transition into college math but he was very fair about giving us chances to make up our scores in the class. He also doesn't use a textbook so if this is the only math class you have to take, you get to save a few bucks.

Comment:

Quinlan is one of the kindest teachers. If you're not a math-brain, don't be afraid to ask him questions during the lecture! If you don't ask, he'll rightfully assume everyone understands the concept and move on. He teaches math differently than other teachers, so take good notes, ask questions and meet him during office hours! It helps a lot.

Comment:

He starts out seeming great. Open notes on test, etc. But then you get daily or ever other day pop quizzes that are 30% of your grade. Each is worth 10 points. So don't plan on skipping. Oh, and then he does not give any partial credit. He'll even mark correct answers wrong if theyre written exactly the way he calls right.

Comment:

I would take any class w Quinlan. Most caring and adaptive teacher I've had at Whatcom. Truly cares and wants to understand the learning styles of his students. And really, if you can't get an A in a class that lets you use your notes on a test, then maybe your own motivation is what's lacking. If you really want to do well in his class you will.

By far the best math teacher I've had. I used to hate math but thanks to him I kind of enjoy it now. He made the material so easy to understand and there was never any surprises on quizzes. If you showed up everyday and did the work it was an easy A.

I have had the pleasure of taking two classes with Mr. Quinlan. All around great math teacher. He keeps things simple and easy to understand without a lot of the complicated mathematical jargon. Also is very humorous and light hearted. He is understanding of students needs. If you regularly attend and do the homework/ quizzes should easily pass.

Comment:

I had Quinlan for pre-calc 1 and I really liked his teaching style. He keeps things light and funny to help you understand the examples in a relaxed environment. He lets you use all of your notes and past quizzes for tests which basically gives you an A. All you need to do as a student is take notes and practice what you have trouble with.

Engaging professor. Teaches math the way he thinks it is the most understandable. Unique class. Fun personality and knows his math. He clearly enjoys teaching. There are lots of tests but he had a flexible grading system that helped your grade reflect your growth in learning.

He is the best teacher I have had. He is so nice and super easy. Although there are a lot of tests and quizzes, they are easy and each test also has extra credit. He teaches so well and I can understand most of the lessons. I highly recommend you to take his class.

Comment:

I was amazed to find that all of our assignments and tests were handwritten and made by Professor Quinlan. This alone shows how much he cares. He gives a lot of information in one class day, so, unless you are willing to go to class EVERYDAY do not take his class. He arrives thirty minutes before every class day to help with homework.

Lots and lots of quizzes. I think 18 all quarter. Just show up and do the homework and ask questions and youll do fine. Pushes tests back if the class as a whole isnt getting something. I would definitely take his class again. Hes a funny dude that enjoys what he does.

Doug is an awesome prof that wants you to succeed in his class and in life. His methods are clear and easy to understand. Not too much homework and if you show up to class and pay attention it shouldn't be hard to pass at all.
