Amadou is very intellegent. He moves VERY fast. Use a dig camera to get notes off the board (no joke). He has high standards and is fair, but by no means a push over. Amadou is very generous with partial credit.

He is one of the best Math instructors there. His speed will catch you off gaurd the first couple of classes but he is always willing to stop, go back, and do it again slower if asked. He is also more than reasonable with homework and exams.

This teacher is a math teacher!!!! He knows his stuff! Take any class from him.

If you like challenge , you will like him

Amadou is one of the best Math instructors I have ever had. He is always willing to clarify topics if asked and is very reasonable when it comes to assignments. Attempt every problem he gives test or homework. You will always get some points if something is written.

Excellent professor, one of the best math professors that i have had. Would take up any class again with him anytime.

Amadou is a great instructor who knows how to explain the material. He is not unreasonable when it comes to homework assignments or tests and always gives partial credit. It was a fairly easy A for me.

Amadou is a wonderful professor. While extremely qualified he permits his students to engage in conversation that promotes clarity in his class. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the process of the Who, What, When, Where & How in this class. Dr. Gaye's explanation is wonderful and he is very intent on his student's comprehension of all aspects.

He is one of the best math professors at MCC. I would encourage anyone to take him. He answers your questions and is very fair at grading. His method of teaching is superby.

Best math teacher I have had

Great teacher, one of the best at MCC. funny, laid back, and he makes sure you understand before he goes on. tests werent too difficult as long as you did the homework (make sure you do the recomended along with the required). he graded on homework, tests and projects.

Dr. Gaye is one of the nicest guy you'll ever met. His teaching method is a bit unorthodox; his homework and project are extremely hard; but he is very laid back and is willing to give a good portion of partial credit. Take his class if you want to learn something have have challange.

I know him about 3 days (Yes! I just had him!) but I can tell he is very easy-going and really loves to teach. As he said, the more you practice, the more you earn. Homework? Yes, a lot. But it has a minimum require. If you are a hard working student, please take his class. If you just want the math credit, skip him and find another easy one.

If you are studying for engineering take Dr. Gaye. He takes a very indepth analysis of the calculus and doesnt skip a thing. However if you are taking calc 1 and thats it i would steer vary clear of him he is TOUGH. His tests can be fairly ridiculous.

just a warning, this guy is a good teacher, but his class is super hard. known for being the guy that wants you to put in 2+ hours a night. tests and HW is crazy hard, takes as much time as a full time job to do hw and pass this class with a decent grade

MAT217 omg. its been 4 years since ive had calc with santilli, i fear no derivative but if you dont have your ducks in a row all semester long you will get burried and fail. I wish I would have been more ontop of this class so much useful math that you can actually use (sorta like calculus is useful i guess its relative). Excellent about his hours.

Expects a lot from his students. "Calc III is hard" he will say if you complain about the work. Gives fair tests; he'll give a practice exam beforehand that is always very close to the real exam. DO ALL THE REQUIRED BUT NOT GRADED PROBLEMS! The final is made up exclusively of these questions. Don't take him if you don't have 2 hours/night to spare.

If you hate to learn and want to be a dispensable employee and citizen in society. Then don't take his class. Don't be upset that the man is obviously capable and will expect you to learn and work. Take this class if you want to do well in upper divisions

i actually liked this class even though it was really difficult and that usually doesn't happen lol. the teacher is cool. only 1 hw assignment per test but the hw is INSANE! only part i didn't like was the difficulty of the assignments but tests are way wayyy easier so don't drop the class after you flip through the first assignment!

Relatively to some other teachers at MCC Gaye is awesome. The class is not easy and takes a lot of work, but he will help you every step of the way. He actually cares that you learn the concept and makes it easy to get help. Much better than my previous math teacher.

Great teacher! His class is very difficult, but he is always willing to help. His homework is an isanely amount of work, but the tests are much easier. He is the best teacher I've ever had. Do the book problems throughout the semester because he uses those for the final. I would've had gotten an A if I did those.

Excellent teacher! One of the best I've had so far. Definitely a very challenging class with him as an instructor and requires a lot of work. The most difficult homework and the easiest tests. I would highly recommend taking MAT218 with Amadou Gaye if you are willing to work diligently.

Tough class. 20 total quizzes (mathzone), 3-5 per test, 5 green packet homeworks (very hard). Can drop worst test. 2 projects which are grade boosters. Tests are easier than HW, gives practice exams, tests usually 4-6 questions. Final was fairly easy, 10 questions. Office is ALWAYS busy.

Honestly, he is a very good teacher. Very smart, and doesn't dumb down the material. If you want to be successful in business you need to master the content and he knows that. Some people said that they couldn't understand his accent, but I disagree. Take this class, but work hard!Its college!

A lot of people did not like his class because it was "hard". obviously, it's math. i liked his course, i got a C but that was my own fault because i never did the homework. the tests are easy and the final is a piece of cake. he's a very smart and helpful teacher and his accent is not even bad.

Amadou is a brilliant, funny and exciting professor. Very fair in grading, makes the class fun and interesting. The only prof. whose door is always open and welcomes any lil question. Not an easy A, but hes the only MAT218 prof worth taking. There are 2/3 projects req'd, each worth as much as 1 exam so do them. Also he drops your lowest Exam Score.

Excellent professor who will push you. Be wary of the word "spicy" because that means the problem will be hard as hell. Difficult class but incredible professor. He will push you and the ones that complain just couldnt hang and that is life. Highly recommend this professor.

Amadou is one the most helpful teachers I have ever had. No need to lie in saying that his class is easy because it's not. However, he will help you always if you ask him. His class was very challenging and required lots of time, but it made me a real critical thinker. Now that I transferred to ASU I'm very thankful for having taken this class!

Amadou is one of the most helpful professors I've ever had. His MAT218 class is by far the hardest class I've ever taken (I already graduated from ASU with two business majors). Nonetheless, it was a class that really made develop great critical thinking skills as well as a strong work ethic that helped throughout college. Greatly recommend him!

Amadou is the best professor to take 218 at MCC. It's a very hard class, but he is very helpful and will meet you where you're at. He is very generous with grading and really shows diligence in making sure his students understand material. He is always in his office and willing to help. He made a very hard subject much more manageable.

He is a great teacher. If you pay attention in his class, it is not too hard for you to understand. He helps you think critically. The final test was easy for students to upgrade the score. He is a nice and talent teacher

Great teacher, goes at a really slow pace and won't move on until everyone understands it. Only has 5 mandatory homeworks in the semester, the rest are for practice. Does a great job!

This course is absurdly difficult if you take it online and don't consistently dedicate a good portion of your week to it. Amadou is extremely helpful, but he definitely takes calculus very seriously. You will get destroyed by the slew of assignments and individual projects unless you start them early and work on them each day.

This class is hard, however, Gaye is willing to help you. Ask questions if you don't understand.

Professor Gaye was very good at explaining the material. All of the homework was online and you get multiple attempts at the problems. Don't leave anything blank on tests or quizzes, he gives alot of partial credit. His test reviews were very hit or miss. Do not miss homework assignments, easy pass if you do them all. And like he stresses, practice

Professor Gaye is the most fair teacher I've had at MCC. The coursework is difficult, but he is generous when grading. Reviews were a hit or miss most of the time with so much material that he could barely give reviews beforehand. Pay attention and always contact him when you need help, you can ALWAYS reach him during office hours or online.

Great teacher! He is very helpful and enthusiastic. Class is hard and a lot of homework but staying focus in class and doing all of the homework will help with your grade and understanding. He is always there for you and replies emails very quick.

There are projects and the guides for completing them are given to you. Online homework and written homework. There are quizzes once a week. He is always available for help during office hours. His motto is to "practice, practice, practice" so you can get the concepts and how to do it. He is a good professor.

Coming from somebody who's failed a math class or two in the past, I've always held a very strong C or low B in this class. He really tries to help his students succeed. Partial credit is given on tests and quizzes as long as you try. One quiz a week and online homework every week with an occasional assignment from the book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This calc 3 class was hard, very hard, but doable. If you've ever taken math online, then you know it's difficult. The teacher gave 5 on campus tests, 5 individual projects, and one final group project. If you can keep up with your homework, then he rewards you with generous grading and open office hours. Very impressive and many thanks.

Professor Gaye is extremely helpful and truly wants his students to succeed. Make sure you stay on top of homework AND the projects he hands out. However he does allow a lot of time for them.

Man, what a math class, Gaye is the man, however he makes you work for that A and then some. He is the most fair teacher/grader I will ever see, he is very objective, almost to the point to perfection. It is a math class so expect to work a ton, however he will help you (most times). Just make sure you "practice your dance moves"

Absolutely the best math teacher I have ever had. Class can be hard but he will work with you outside of the classroom until you understand it. Communicate with him, listen to the lectures, stay on top of assignments, and you should do well. He has wonderful explanations and really knows what he is talking about.

Great teacher. Very clear on what will be on tests. Gives practice tests. Always will help if needed. He is very smart and helps you learn the best way to do something. He realizes that calculators are used in every day life in the career field, and allows calculators on all tests. HW is on web assign, and is a must if you want a good grade

Very clear and *extremely* thorough. Outstanding quality of education, but at the cost of having an insane amount of work. I literally spent more time on this class than on Calc I and II combined. I did well on the tests, but wasn't able to complete all the projects; hence the poor grade. Probably best class for learning; worst class for easy grade

Great professor. He cares about your success, but you need to take the initiative. Nothing will be handed to you, it will be earned. Good lectures which are both entertaining & informative. Replies to emails promptly and his office is open, providing he is not teaching a class. Fair with his grading. On the right track, you'll still earn points.

This was my third time taking, I finally passed and it's only because of Professor Gaye. The material is tough but he's so thorough and if you reach out, he will not let you fall behind. He makes the lessons interesting and relates every math concept to its real world business application. I've always hated math, but Im sad this class is over!

Tough grader, but if you do the work you will pass.

The course subject is hard, but the professors does a good job explaining it. The 1st weeks are the hardest... I was ready to drop the class, but Mr. Gaye told me to hang in there. I'm glad I did, I was able to pass the class.

Very amazing teacher, the homework is a lot, but test is wayyyy easier than the homework. He gives a lot of examples during the class time if you take all of his notes and dont miss a day, do all your homework assignments, you will pass the class with an A. also he gives projects during semester to help understand material better just easy points!

One of the best math teachers Ive ever had! I loved this class the most out of my course load this semester and hope I can take him again in the future. He is hilarious and extremely knowledgeable in his subject/willing to help you succeed. Grades on steps not final outcome so studying they right idea will get you far! Again, loved this class!

Professor Gaye is one of the best math professors I've had in college. He goes over everything that you will learn at the beginning of the semester and follows the syllabus to the T. Lectures take up most of the class and he writes very fast, so take pictures if you can. Homework tends to be harder than the tests. He is also a lenient grader.

The best math professor I ever have.

The class is difficult which includes calculus, permutation and combination, business optimization as well as brief statistics, but he will try his best to explain anything and he did it. Must do the homework, all quizzes and tests will be the same concept along to the homework, but the way much easier. Extra credit is also available.

I took this class 9 years ago before continuing on to earning my BS from ASU. In retrospect, Amadou Gaye stands out as one of the most influential and memorable from the entire academic career. Most importantly you are forced to discover your ability to tackle a challenge head-on when life doesn't offer shortcuts.

Professor Gaye made this class an amazing experience not just for math, but the topic as a whole. His lectures are the clearest and he takes the time to respond any questions and explain every step. Very responsive for online questions and feedback. Expect lots of homework and a specially hard time during the early part of the class. Work pays off.

Amazing teacher! He is very good at understanding questions that people have, and explaining it in a way that is easy to comprehend. I never got an answer to a question that wasn't the exact explanation I was asking for. He is brilliant, funny and very respectable. Don't take his class if you aren't good at math, coursework is incredibly hard.

Eventhough the class was online, he was an excellent professor when I took diferential equations with him. He was always there when I had questions and he always had an answer for them.
