"Outstanding Calculus professor. Been at SFA for ever. Works hard with his students to get them to understand the limits. Need solid background in trig, analytic geometry, and algebra to survive this class." --MTH

"Easy going but you better have the basics down in algebra when you get there, grades are strictly from tests and homework.  Doesn't like to work the homework problems to show examples if someone is having a problem.  If you get behind, you are in trouble.  Good teacher but pretty advanced for freshman algebra, I wouldn't really recommend him for a first math course."  --MTH 138

"Seems like a nice guy, but kind of jumped around the textbook in the beginning of the course. That, plus the fact he shared teaching time with Dr. Clark pretty much lost me. Thinking about dropping the course despite a friend's claim he's the best Calculus teacher ever." --MTH 234

"He is such a sweet man - I still keep in touch with him. Calculus is difficult, but he will help you in any way. He is willing to give study sessions before a test." --MTH 233, 234

"Outstanding Trig teacher, too bad he is only working half-time. Need solid basis in algebra. Fair tests. Likes to say Eh a lot. Be ready, he will call on you in class." --MTH

"He doesn't teach the material well. Everything's on overheads and he flips through them quickly. He does have a very good curve though." --MTH 220

"Teaches pretty well at the beginning. After the first few weeks, though, he just flies through the overhead not really teaching anything. We always do computer work, which gives us easy points, but none of us have a clue what is going on with this computer stuff!" --MTH 220

"Quite possibly the best math teacher I've ever had. Her main goal is to get you to understand the basic concepts of Calculus rather than to beat you down with problems that are 100 times harder than what you did for homework. She gives out handouts throughout the course that usually demand you not only answer a question, but explain why your answer is right...which helps you understand the material. Grade is made of homework (25%), two exams (25% each) and the final (25%, comprehensive). Don't let the homework slip, or you'll kill an otherwise decent test average." --MTH 233

"She is a good teacher. She knows her stuff. However sometimes she can make you feel as if you are stupid. She expects alot out of students and ASSUMES that you know something when perhaps you do not. I would reccomend her but DO NOT GET BEHIND ON THE HOMEWORK!!! IT WILL SHOW UP ON EXAMS. She gives daily assignments out sometimes that you will not understand unless you ask which is very upsetting. TAKE HER IF YOU ARE PRETTY GOOD AT MATH." ---MTH 138

"Don't expect to learn very much from this guy. He does the examples on the board wrong, puts the wrong questions on the test, and then makes mistakes grading your test. Ask the 15% of his Finite Math Class that stayed after the first exam...they'll tell you." --MTH 143

"Great professor in MBA program for Stats. Really knows his stuff. Tests are hard, but are exactly\par like the homework. Do your homework and you will have no problem. Ask tons of questions. Open book and open note tests." --MTH

"McCune is the best stats teacher, and he also teaches you how to gamble like a pro." --MTH 220

"Easy on all 3 exams. The final is hard. 25 question multiple choice and counts 40% of your grade. It is extremely hard. Everyone I know who took him loved his class an also dropped a letter grade after the final. I do know 1 person who has made an A." --MTH 220"

"He expects you to know the stuff inside and out. He is interesting but he has no mercy for students who don't study." -MTH 220

"Very much above your head if you are taking him for Algebra. Expect to get help outside of class along with keeping up with the homework." MTH 138

"Good Business Calculus professor. Hard, but he will work with you until you understand the problem. Need outstanding basis in algebra skills. Watch out for his tests, they are some what like the home work, but he likes to toss in tons of "weird" algebra involving logs, natural logs, weird exponents, square roots, negative powers, etc. Fortunately, no imaginary numbers. Do your homework and study the algebra, no sweat. Open book and note tests." MTH

"A lot of information. She is very fair. VERY helpful. If you need this class I would recommend her." --MTH 220
