Comment:

Worst professor ever. Never responds to emails, gives a lot of hw and when you handed to him, never reads your paper or correct you if youre wrong. Didnt allow me to take the second test and gave me a 0 for it even though I had an emergency. Terrible professor AVOID AT ALL COST.

Comment:

Worst math professor I ever had. Took him for Calc 1. He came late on the first day and asked "Is this math class?" Didn't introduce or define new topics properly, just called them "theories" and based the next exam on them. Only taught 1/2 of what he was supposed to; terrible exams. He's funny, but a terrible professor.

He is one of the worst professors I have ever taken. He isn't straight forward at all and doesn't like to explain the material. He is lazy and sits down the entire class. If you want to pass a class, DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!

Comment:

Professor Mcgill is the reason I am graduating in the Spring instead of Fall. His class is very hard, he is very bad at explaining things and doesn't write on the board, just dictates from the desk. He 's a nice guy and a funny joke but he can't explain anything. He is the worst professor for Math at JJay. Avoid like the plaque.

I feel like he only graded us based on some homework assignments and the tests. He dropped the lowest grade for my class. Stopped collecting homework after like a month. Still, make sure you do your homework. -Gives review sheets, sometimes they may have a mistake -Makes some mistakes you will have to point out to him -Study HARD. It's calculus.

He's a horrible professor! It must be a family thing because I took his wife and she's just as bad! Everyone makes mistakes, but he makes mistakes every single class and it confuses you. He's a funny guy, but that's not gonna help you pass the class. He gave a review once and made the test even harder. He also doesn't explain well. DO NOT TAKE!

Very Disrespectful. Do not take his class if you want to maintain your GPA. Complains if you ask questions, and if you try to stay on top of him concerning a test or your grade, he will be rude and inconsistent. I honestly wish I never took his class.

Comment:

Very bad teacher. He does not teach according to the math department ways so whats done in class is nothing like the test. Gets angry when students ask questions and completely disrespects students. If you're lucky you might be able to understand his methods but even tutors said his answer keys were wrong.

Comment:

This is the worst math teacher I've ever had. He hands out review sheets covers some of the material and expects you to know it all for the test. If you tell him you don't understand something he completely ignores you and keeps on talking. I have to get outside help if I'm to pass this class.

He definitely knows everything, but he does not know how to teach them through a proper way so students could learn. If you are really struggling with math, I wouldn't recommend taking him.

Comment:

Horrible teacher, doesn't know how to teach. Gives review sheet with questions that can not be solved and realizes it later. The only reason I ended up in his class is because another prof dropped the class, and no one notified the students. So we got stuck with him.

He was a good professor. Attendance is mandatory when your first begin the semester but towards the end it doesnt really matter. Try to make it to every class because he raises a whole letter grade for example u get a C and u have perfect attendance he gives your a B for the class. there are about 3 test and a final. hes very amusing at times.

Comment:

This prof was great! I still use the math tricks he taught me. He's the first Prof. to put things in a way I could understand it. Plus his jokes are so corny, you can't help but laugh. I don't know why he doesn't have a higher rating, he's a great asset to the school. It worries me people can't see how good he is.
