Was definitely scared going into this course because of the countless other Gaels that I know that withdrew from the course but this professor makes it a breeze. 5 question quiz to start class everyday on what you learned in the last class. Always easy and he drops lowest 4. Cant recommend it enough after failing my first math course here.
I have been alive for 20 years and so far Professor Beran is the only Math professor that I have believed cares about his own students. If you're ever worried about a math class that needs to be taken for core or for your major, Professor Beran is most definitely your best and safest choice.
He is incredibly hilarious and quirky I definitely recommend him for any math class. He teaches everything clearly, slowly, and guides you through every step.
Professor Beran is an excellent professor and an easy A. He drops the 4 or 5 lowest quiz grades during the Business For Calculus course. If you screw up on one of the quizzes during the whole semester, you can still get an A. He is caring to his students, has great sense of humor, and very organized. Quizzes are fairly easy. Highly recommended.
AWESOME. Not only is he an amazing professor, He is so nice. He truly wants all his students to suceed. All professors should have this mindset. He explains material extremly well. If you are struggling he is always willing to explain and help you out. I actually love going to a "math class" because of Andrew Beran. If you want to suceed take him..
Awesome , Awesome AWESOME. He is the best professor at Iona college. Every student should take him. You need to be in class to pass but if you are struggling hes always willing to help. He truly is amazing.....
awesome guy , very good math teacher. Except he is not funny at all. the jokes are very dry. very repetitive but easy to pass.
Andrew Beran is awesome! Hes the best professor at Iona. Take him for math, you will understand everything because he teaches at a great pace. I definitely recommend him.
Professor Beran is great. I enjoy going to his class. His lectures are great and makes it easy to particpate. His jokes makes the class intresting. Highly think if you have to take math, you should take professor beran. Hes caring and the best professor overal at iona college. Every class starts with a quiz which is great to remember the material.
Professor Beran is a great professor, his teachings are super thorough.. He gives quizzes every class meeting so attendance is mandatory, but that's the point. The quizzes are super easy. If you take this class you WONT FAIL, if you do you just didn't care. Oh and there aren't any textbooks, so you can save money
Professor Beran is by far the best math professor I have ever had. He truly cares about his students grades and makes everything clear. If you are worried about business calculus don't be with this professor. He also tells the best jokes
Professor beran is AWESOME... he teaches business calculus In such an amazing way that he involves all the students and makes sure we understand the material clearly
Take Professor beran if you struggle in business calc . He will make you understand it better. He is a great professor who truly cares for his students. His lectures are absolutely amazing. He really wants everyone to get an A. The only thing you have to do on your part is pay attention and attend the classes. We have a quiz every class period.....
Amazing personality and attitude towards students. Also easy to have an A, regardless of level of maths you were having in high school.
Quiz every class, but you literally know all the questions before taking them. I hate math with a passion. Take this class if you have the chance. Professor Beran is awesome and hilarious. For all people who are required to take math that are not math majors, this is your guy.
The reason everyone is saying it is an easy grade is because he actually knows how to teach, and you learn more in this math class, which actually sticks with you. He has superpowers when it comes to getting you to understand things, that's why he has his own tutor business too.
Makes class fun, and informative. I actually learned a lot in this class, and it is clear that he really cares for his students, and math in general. Daily quizzes so don't miss class, but he goes over problems well and if you take notes it is easy to get A's on all of them.
Professor Beran is my favorite math teacher I have ever had. He is very thorough with his explanations. There is a quiz every class, but they are straight from the previous class' notes. Every student pretty much gets an A in the class, and Professor Beran truly cares about his students. 100% recommend you take his class if you can.
This guy is a diamond in the rough. He goes through problems multiple times so you understand what is going on and tells exactly what is needed. Creates a relaxed atmosphere so I was never anxious in the class, has some great stories to tell, really funny. Take his class, you won't regret it.
I have always struggled with math but I had to take this class because it was required. Professor Beran made this class enjoyable. He gives a quiz every day at the beginning of class, the questions on the quiz are from the class before so all you need to do is pay attention a little and youll do great in the class. Best professor hands down!!
The best math teacher at Iona by far. This is the only math class I have ever received an A. He always has a joke for each class. His test are very easy. He tells you when and when not to take notes and I would recommend everybody to take him as a teacher.
Professor Beran is the only teacher that has ever been able to make me understand MATH. As an international student I was scared I wasn't going to do well in this class, but he made me understand and I got straight A's. Professor Beran is on elf the view teacher that genuinely cares about his students. He is a real Math hero and a funny teacher.
Great professor, i am absolutely terrible at any type of math. I finished this business calc class with an A. there is a quiz at the beginning of every class, only 5 questions and he goes over those questions prior in the previous class.
Professor Beran is an amazing professor. He sets his students up for success and makes the class enjoyable. The quizzes are very fair and if you put in the time to study, you will do well in his class. I would definitely take another class with this professor again! He rocks!
I have nothing to say about this professor but Wow! This professor is the best math teacher on this planet. We are given a quiz every class which is only 5 questions which helps review the previous lessons. He is the most organized and funny teacher I know. Every math question is taken slowly and well explained. If you want to have fun... TAKE HIM.
Professor Beran is one of the best professors I've had so far. His class is very straight forward and he is a funny guy. He gives quizzes at the beginning of every class but he takes the questions from our notes, so it is not difficult at all. If you have to take business calc, he is the only professor you would want to take, trust me.
For business calc, there cannot be a better professor than him. In this class, you will not only learn but also understand each problem. You need to pay attention in class and you will end up getting a good grade in this class. Quizzes are based on the class lessons so pay attention. Also, if you struggle in maths then do take him.
Best math professor hands down! I would definitely take him again and recommend everyone to take any math course with Professor Beran. The course is very easy, the Professor is Hilarious with his jokes. He makes sure you understand whats going on and is very straight forward. You just have to be engaged and your guaranteed an A+ without a doubt.
Just take Prof. Beran for MTH 134. That is the only professor you might want. You will love his class and it is not hard maths. Everything is taught in class you just need to focus.
prof. beran teaches the topics very throughly leaves students with little to no questions. while there is a 5 question quiz everyday if you pay attention to the previous class your guaranteed an A. he makes learning math fun and not challenging at all. he is a funny professor and wants to see his students do well. i 100 % recommend taking his class
Beran is the only prof you should consider taking Business Calc with. He really cares about his students and loves to teach. Every class we have a 5 question quiz based off of what we did last class. As long as you stay engaged during class and pay attention you will be more than fine. Very reasonable prof. TAKE HIM
If you have to take business calc. Take it with this professor. You will pass as long as you pay attention, theres a quiz everyday but its on what we do in class, word for word. Hes also pretty funny.
TAKE PROFESSOR BERAN!!!!Best teacher I've had so far. If you have the opportunity to take him please do, trust me you will not regret it! He is very straight forward with the material, very patient, and cares about his students. he is also very funny and makes class enjoyable. His 5 question quizzes come straight for your notes too!
When i wanted a good teacher to teach me calculus, i got more then lucky to have a professor that covered everything and went over it more then once so that every kid in the class got it.
Best prof at iona. The man knows HIS MATH! Absolute hilarious, let students out early, best prof at Iona hands down! TAKE HIS CLASS!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Definitely knows his math and tries to baby feed it to you. Im highly thankful for this. At times he even makes the lessons seem too easy. Would definitely take him again. He's figured out that if he gives 0 HW and only grades you on quizes given every class period, you're likely to never miss class. Daily quizzes are made of exact examples given.
professor beran is a great person and an even better teacher. I love how he repeats things and he makes sure you understand it. the daily quizzes sound like a lot but the quizzes are the exact same thing that we did in class the class before the quiz same numbers and everything. he makes the class very easy to pass. he is also very funny. 10/10
Im not great at Math and this class is the easiest class ever. Andrew is very repetitive to ensure you understand what he is saying. He is funny, mostly corny but it is what it is. 10000% take this class, show up and it's probably the easiest teacher who truly cares about you. Profesor when you read this, just know your a very HOT man
Where do I even start... Prof Beran IS the best math professor out there, not only because his classes are 'easy', but because he knows exactly how to get students' attention. He repeats himself several times to make sure everyone in the class is grasping and learning the material. I never thought I would say this but... he makes math FUN!!!!!!
Professor Beran is THE BEST. He explains everything so clearly and repeats himself to help make sure all the students understand. The only homework he gives is to study for the quizzes and they come straight from the notes. Best class I have EVER taken!
Professor Andrew Beran is a great professor. He makes the lessons easy to learn and the quizzes are very easy to pass, and he tries to get you out the class as early as possible everyday. I 100% recommend prof. Beran. He be capping about his funny announcements tho��
Alright, it is time. You're going to hear Prof. Beran say that a lot, but Prof. Beran is by far THE BEST professor at Iona! If you have the option to take his course, do yourself a favor, and take his class!!! He is a blessing from the math gods and for once, I can actually say this in my life, I'm actually enjoying math! The Beranster is a 10/10!
He is probably the most understanding professors at Iona college and truly wants you to succeed. Attendance is mandatory because there is a quiz at the start of every class, but they are easy as long as you pay attention to the class. He literally makes it so easy so everyone in the class can get an A. You wont regret it !!!!
By far the best professor I've ever had. He is super caring for his students, gives very easy quizzes, attendance matters, he tells jokes and funny stories which makes the lectures more laid back. Also, if he gets a haircut, make sure you notice it, he will be very upset if you don't.
Professor Beran is easily one of the best teachers at Iona. His business calculus class is easy, as it is very easy to grasp concepts quickly if you pay attention. He is a very understanding professor & explains everything in depth to make sure you understand the material. Attendance matters because there’s a quiz every class. Easy A.
If your looking to take Business Calc , this is the best teacher for you. He breaks down the most complicated concepts and makes them easy. Definitely an easy A if you pay attention and make sure you show up to class!
Professor Beran truly cares about his students and wants them all to pass, breaking down the most complex lessons which helps us understand it more. Couldn’t see me learning this information other than the Beran way. he gives a quiz everyday so attend his class, quizzes aren’t hard! Also can’t forget him for being the best looking professor
Professor Beran is a really great teacher, he somehow managed to make math understandable and easy. If you take his class, all you have to do is put in effort and youll get an A.
Beran is best professor at Iona. He makes math actually make sense and he is very funny with his stories and lectures. He gives a quiz every class but as long as u copy the notes you will pass because they come straight from them.

He gives quizzes every class but they are super easy. if you thought math was hard, take his class!!!!!!
Prof. Beran is a great professor that only cares that you get an A and understand math. There is a quiz every week, but he literally gives you everything you need to know. He explains math pretty clearly. Just show up and study for 10 minutes for the quizzes and you will get an A. Are his announcements true, the world may never know.
Professor Beran is the best professor I have ever taken I took. He is amazing, funny, extremely good looking and a smart guy. He always tells us his stories that are so funny. ( he "goes out" alot) He is excellent teacher makes the class very easy. He gives no homework besides review, and his quizzes are super easy.Professor Beran is the GOAT
If u are looking for a class to show up once a month too don't choose this one . choose this and come on time and class and u will pass
Professor Beran is one of the best teachers at Iona University and 100% the best professor in the math department. If you can take him for a math class or pre req, you would be crazy not to! In addition to teaching at an ideal pace, he is very funny, intelligent, and kind. I don't think anyone could ever say a bad thing abut this professor.
Prof. Beran has to be the best math professor at Iona. Everything you need to know is given to you at the end of each class for the quiz next class. He's a funny guy & keeps you entertained throughout the entire class, even if it's a three hour class. The class is an easy A & he knows it. Your two lowest grades will be dropped. Def take him!!
Great professor, really funny. Makes class fun and thoroughly explains everything. Does a quiz every class so that students get to class on time but they are really easy. I recommend taking professor Beran, he is great.
Professor Beran is one of the best Professor that I have had, his attitude is amazing, the class is very easy. Professor Beran also tells a lot of funny jokes.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. First time I have had an A in Math. Hilarious and caring professor, and inures you understand everything before he moves on.
Professor Beran is one of the best professors I have ever taken. Business Calc is not easy to understand, but he makes sure that everyone understands it. There is a quiz every class but he gives you all the materials you need to know for them. He wants you to do well and cares for you. I would definitely recommend taking him for any math class!
Professor Beran is a very charismatic person and has an apparent gift for teaching. The guy gives no homework, but gives a quiz everyday based on the notes you take. The quizzes are easy as long as you actively pay attention to the class. I recommend him whether you are a math major or not.
TAKE HIS CLASS NO MATTER WHICH ONE!!!!!!! You will never be confused with him as your teacher, he explains everything so well. If you do get confused, he would love to answer your question or explain further. He never makes anyone feel dumb. Its so great having a teacher as passionate about teaching as him. I love Professor Beran.
THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. He makes math so easy. Im gonna miss him when the semester ends. Also, he is funny.
Prof. Beran is the funniest professor I've had. Has a lot of corny jokes but they're funny. There's an easy quiz every class- he goes over every question the class before. Great guy and should definitely go out of your way to take him. He teaches in a way that makes math easy for those who are slower to pick it up like myself. Easy A.
Easy class for people who want to finish their career in math. Professor Beran is really funny and an easy grader. There is a quiz at the beginning of every class but it is always very easy and the questions are reviewed in class before the one where you take the quiz. If you need to take math 123 for credit then take professor Beran.
Easy A
Every time I stepped into this class I was happy to see the best looking man on campus. I was sad to have only had him for one semester as he had me In love with the way he made me laugh and learn. Take his class to get math over with in a breeze and as well as learn business and finance problems!!
Great teacher and very cute!
Easy A. Great teacher and makes math easy.
Makes math easy and explains everything well
He's hilarious and his speed is unmatched. He is VERY clear with exactly what you need to learn and when, you are never left confused unless you don't pay attention at all. He gets us out early every day because we all understand it all very quickly
Very clear repeats anything you need to be repeated
Best professor at Iona. He makes sure everything is very clear for his students and is willing to repeat anything whenever a student is unsure of something. He gives one quiz at the beginning of every class to make sure you attend, and he goes over multiple questions very similar to the quiz questions the class before to make sure you're all set.
Bro is a life saver i hate math
The best professor at Iona. Is very good at teaching the material and makes sure you understand before continuing to next subject.
such a good professor!! he makes math so much easier to learn than any other prof i've ever had. there is a quiz at the beginning of every class but if you take notes from the previous lesson, you'll be more than fine.
Beran gives no homework and explains things so clearly, he makes the class as easy as he can. Would definetly take him again if I could. Just come to class on time and take notes when he says to and you'll be more then fine. I always giggle in class when he tells stories about his love life/life in general.
Prof. Beran is a wonderful professor. There's a quiz each class but it's super easy and he helps you prepare for it. He's a professor that actually helps you understand the material. If you participate, the classes go by super quickly. His announcements are absolutely hilarious and you can tell that he's a teacher that really cares for his students
BERAN is THE BEST. If you suck at math do not worry Beran could probably teach algebra to my dog and he would understand DEF RECOMMEND TAKING HIM
He's the only math teacher I ever had good grades for. Breaks down the math easily and is always open to answering any questions you have. Quizzes are time you meet but it's not hard. Take his class it's an easy A, if you have him you're guaranteed to pass.
Professor Beran is, simply put, the man. I am getting chills at the thought that he is reading this right now. He is the Michael Jordan of math professors, the Muhammad Ali, the goat. Explains concepts extremely clearly, lays out expectations, and is always prepared for class. His teaching style is very intentional and amazing, just take him!
This man is the greatest teacher i've ever had
He gives a quiz at the beginning of class every class that's 5 questions.
Professor Beran is amazing
Great Professor. Definitely recommended!
best professor i have ever had in my life
He absolutely fantastic! If you need extra credit or are in need of taking 123 or 132 he's the one. Don't be discouraged by the attendance and the Quizzes, as long as you show up and put in a little bit of effort in studying you'll honestly be all set. Personally I now wish I had him more often the just once a week on Thursday
Take Math123 with him. He's such a good professor, making the class easy to handle. The 630-930 is the way to go, so it's worth it!
prof.Beran is best professor you can get for math. He is capable of teaching a toddler math. very funny and makes the class very smooth. cool guy also
great guy
Great Professor, very funny, and an amazing class overall. He can literally teach math to anything!
Beranimal is the best teacher at Iona hands down! His class is supper easy and he makes you laugh a few times every class. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Professor Beran is the best teacher I've had so far at Iona and I think it will forever stay like that. He gives a quiz every class the second it starts but they're really easy if you pay attention. Not only do you actually learn from his teaching, he's an easy A as long as you come to class. Would 100% recommend him and take him again.
Oh boy oh boy where do I even begin? I am a Beranimal fan till the day I die. My glorious king. My BePookie bear. If there are a million Beran fans, I am one of them. If there are a hundred Beran fans, I am one of them. If there is one Beran fan, I am that fan. If there are no Beran fans, I have died.
Very easy A, but classes get repetitive. Entire semester was review.
Professor Beran for MTH 132 is amazing! He genuinely cares about each student and clarifies complex topics. His engaging teaching style and positive attitude create a supportive learning environment. I highly recommend taking his class for a rewarding experience!
Professor Beran is one of my favorite teachers. Hes very funny which kept me engaged during class and the material is fairly easy. Hes very clear on what you're being tested on vs what is just useful information.
If Beran is an option take him! 5 question quiz weekly and gives us similar answers the week prior. Easiest A you can get.
Professor Beran is an amazing professor, and I would absolutely take him again. If you do not like doing math, this class is perfect for you. He assigns a weekly 5-question quiz to which he gives the answers to at the end of the previous class. Easiest A you could ever get. And he lets you out early every class.
if you have an opportunity to take this professor, do not hesitate. Free-est A+ I've ever seen. 5 year old could get an A in this class. Professor is really cool as well.
This absolute beast of a professor makes math so easy that I feel like I'm in 1st grade again. His jokes are hilarious most of the time and he is a man for the people. He is a ladies man so please be warned. Take this class if you want a guaranteed A and some laughs.
Extremely easy class, you would have to do more work to fail his class than to pass it. Quiz before every class but he shows you the material if not the exact same material of the quiz the class before. I don't think I would want to be friends with someone who couldn't pass Prof. Berans class.
Professor Beran is hilarious. Your grade is made up of a 10-minute quiz before each class which he gives you the problems before hand and just changes the numbers. Would 110% recommend taking this class. Easy A and funny jokes.
Professor Beran is probably the easiest professor you can take. He is absolutely hilarious and is very relaxed with work. As long as you do the quizzes every class you are guaranteed an A. Come and go as you please in that class but always be prepared for a funny, out of pocket announcement.
Professor Beran is NO jive turkey he's is a cool cat !
BEST PROFESSOR AT IONA! Literally, his MTH123 class was so easy that a baby could pass it! Every single class has a quiz at the beginning (5 questions), and the class before, he gives you the questions for the quiz, the exact questions. It's so easy. and plus hes a really nice professor. classes are always so short, you end getting out super early.
Best class I've taken so far at Iona. Professor Beran is so funny and understanding. The class is so easy and he will always explain everything clearly
Prof. Beran is a really great professor and also really funny. Sometimes can repeat himself a lot every class but overall the best math teacher. He makes it so easy to get an A in this class and never keeps you the full 3 hours. There's a test at the beginning of each class thats only 5 questions but he prepares you the class before. Amazing prof
Professor Beran is an absolute gem! His engaging and humorous teaching style makes even the toughest math concepts a breeze. Utilize unstuck study alongside the free textbook for a rewarding learning experience. Highly recommend taking his class!
the best professor at iona no doubt. took this class last semester and loved it. not only does he make it easy but he actually cares about the wellbeing of his students. take him any time you can. 10/10
super funny and nice teacher , math was super easy to learn with him he got right to the point and then your let go so tests are super easy to do , easy class to pass
this man is so funny. quiz every class but the content is given the class before. very easy grader. no hw. there's literally never a dull moment. ill miss that class fr.
