Very helpful. Will explain himself over and over until you understand. Highly recommended for Stats.
Very nice and helpful. Lots of analogies and he reviews for all tests and his office is open to students needing help. No homework either. He posts tons of youtube videos for extra help too. Great math teacher. I'll take him again for Stats.
I have struggled with math many years and failed math 083 before and this teacher is amazing.. he has patience and takes the time to teach each indiviual and i have never had an A in math ever! i recommend this teacher to everyone who struggles in math.. he really works very hard and you can tell he just enjoys his job :)
Very helpful and willing to make sure students comprehend the material by showing different examples or scenarios.
Amazing professor, he explained things so well and related all the topics I had no interest in to things that everyone understood. His ability to make the class fun (4hour lecture class) was amazing.
Amazing teacher always explains things clearly and is also easy on he eyes ;-)
Great professor, offered tons of extra help and provided great detail when explaining each topic. Was very patient and you can tell he enjoyed teaching.
Very helpful and he provided numerous examples as to why what we were learning was important. He related the class to tons of interesting topics and always made you feel comfortable asking questions.
Amazing!!! That eally sums it up, but I will add that he is super helpful and is very patient with his students. He makes each and every class interesting and relates the material to things that are interesting to the class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
For me this was a hard class because I HATE math, but Mr. Calise was amazing. He made it fun and interesting you hardly knew you were doing math. If it wasn't for him I probably would have gotten a 30% in this class. If you need Math 153 he is the professor you need.
Amazing professor, if you would like to take math 153, please i would advise you to take his class but you have to do all the assignment he gives you are definitely going to pass the class.
Very Funny and very informative. This was the most interesting course I have taken so far. Very helpful and personable. Do not take Math 153 with anyone else.
This was a short 5 week summer class and class was 3 hours long. He made the class very fun and informative. The best professor I have had in my two years of college.
Past math teachers: irrational yet smug Mr. Spocks who used as many words as possible to obfuscate the point to better dazzle you with symbols and formulas. Mr. Calise shuts that game down. I have deployed to war zones 4 times yet never felt the nerves I feel before a math exam. Now I have a renewed interest in math and science. Greatful.
Mr. Calise is a great teacher. He is really helpful and he teaches his course in a way that'll be easier on the student.I tried to get him to teach some of my other required math courses. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has had trouble with math.If you work with him, you will pass
This class was as good as a College Algebra class could get. The material was not the most exciting but he made it easy to understand and at least explained why it was useful and important. The tests were very fair and he did a great job of making sure the class was ready for an exam. Great Professor and a very down to earth guy.
I am glad I stayed in this class even though I suck at math, he made it easy to understand and broke it down to my level. You could tell he was very smart but he did not try over complicate things. He was funny and made class fun, and always challenged you to think with puzzles as extra credit, I will be taking his class again for Math 153!
Amazing teacher, sometimes he took awhile to respond to e-mails, then again I should have been in class more often. I do not know if I would have passed or learned with anyone else. He made the material relevant and explained it in a way that made sense. I already signed up for his Math 153 class.
Amazing professor, a must have if you are taking Math 153. He could be a little better at responding to e-mails but overall he was very helpful, gave excellent reviews and offered a lot of opportunity to show what you learned.
He needs to clone himself, so everyone who needs a math class could take it with him. The best professor I have ever had at CCBC or UMD. He breaks everything down to the point where you think everything is easy, though he will constantly try and challenge you to think. Highly recommended for any Math class. (Also very funny and down to earth)
Amazing experience, he is funny and smart and really knows how to explain things. I am not very good at math but this professor made me feel like I was. You must take Math 132 with him.
This was a self paced class but he was so helpful, the textbook did not explain things that well at all, but Prof. Calise simplified things to the point it seemed so easy. I would have done better if I came to class more often since it was a self paced class I fell behind and if it wasn't for this professor I would have failed.
He is fantastic. I literally cannot say enough good things about him. Doesn't make you buy the book (it's a waste of money). Teaches you interesting things! Lots of real world applications for statistics. I adored this class, and if I could take every math class I ever needed with him, I would. Do yourself a favor and take his class!!
Amazing professor let us leave early many days, but covered all material and made it seem so easy. Also explained how to teach the topics to elementary school kids which was very helpful. BEST PROFESSOR AT CCBC!!!
Best Ever!
Awesome class and even better professor. I left every single class feeling like I knew the material but actually understood why it is important, which never has happened before in a math class. Funny and easy to talk to, DO NOT take this class with anyone else.
This professor was very helpful, he made the class seem very easy and his reviews covered all the material on the exams. No surprises well except for the extra credit question, but I would not recommend taking the class with anyone else. Awesome!
Awesome professor, best I have had. He made learning interesting and fun. Awesome at explaining things in a simple way. You must take his class!
Awesome professor!!!! You must take his class. Made everything seem very easy, even if it was difficult at first.
He is an awesome professor that is passionate, helpful and patient. Hopefully he will be teaching 082/083 in the Fall
Awesome professor, he is so down to earth and is able to make everything seem simple. I wish I had him for all of my math classes. Make sure you complete all the practice exams and you will do well on the actual tests.
Very easy course thanks to Mr. Calise, he broke things down so you understood why you were learning and how it was going to be used later one, now that I have graduated with my AA I know he was right. He also posts tons of practice and resources on his website which is awesome.
Very good at what he does, the class was interesting even though I really am not a big fan of math. I finally realized why half this stuff was important. He is funny and makes the time go by quickly. I definitely would take any class he was taching.
Mr. Calise puts other professors to shame, I mean there are probably some good professors out there, but I know I havent met one remotely close to his talent. I am not a very good math student but he made me feel like I could do just about anything in this course, I flew threw Math 082 the following semester thanks to what he taught me. Awesome!
This class was the most FUN I have ever had in any class I have ever taken. It was very informative and I learned so much, Mr. Calise did an amazing job explaining things and breaking them down for the whole class. He might be the most patient person on the planet, I suggest you take this class regardless of if you need it or not!
This was a difficult class, it was my 3rd time taking it. I will say I would have probably only have taken it once if I had Mr. Calise first he made the class seem so easy compared to the other professors I had. Taking his class is the only smart choice if you need Math 083.
Very easy to understand, explains the material very clearly, awesome professor. He was very helpful during class and if you struggle take advantage of his office hours. Best math teacher I have ever had!
Very fun class, I was actually upset when I missed the class. He was an amazing instructor and posted so much material for you to use as a resource. You can tell he loves teaching and it shows. You can not take this class with anyone else.
Awesome Teacher... He made class easy and fun.
Great class, I suck at math but he made it easy enough for me to understand. Funny and down to earth really explains why things are important. This was an awesome experience and I would highly recommend taking his class.
Very excellent professor, he was very patient and had lots of materials for you to use in and outside of class. You have to take him for whatever class you need. I wish he was teaching Math 082 in the Fall. Awesome guy
He was a very good teacher, and tried very hard to make sure I understood the material. I just didn't put any effort into the class which is why I did not do well. I am taking his class again next semester, he was very good.
Mr. Calise is a great teacher for anyone who is scared of math. He takes time to make sure you understand the material and is always available after class for additional help. He's AWESOME!!!!!!
Awesome professor!! Does an excellent job explaining information. Will spend extra time with you if you need it before, and after class. We didn't need to buy the textbook.
You have to take his class, awesome professor. Best you will ever have!
Very interesting and fun professor, made the time fly and really explained the importance of the material. Awesome experience, highly recommended.
You will learn a lot if you pay attention and come to class, he is funny and very helpful. His practice exams let you know what is going to be on the test.
Best professor you can have, makes class go by quickly and will teach you a lot. He offers many extra resources for you to practice and is very funny!
This was my second time taking the course but I would have probably passed the first time if he was teaching. Awesome professor who gives lots of helps and truly cares about you learning and passing the course, do not take anyone else!
Super sweet, and ridiculously smart. The difference is he does not act as if he is better then you, he teaches you in a way where you leave class being very confident in your abilities. I also love the way he erases the board!
Best class I have ever taken, thanks to Mr. Calise. He made class interesting and really explained why the material was important. I left class everyday feeling like I can take something I learned and actually use it in my everday life. Awesome Experience!
Best professor I wish he was teaching Physics next semester, but he said he was only teaching Math. Website was a lot of help and he was very patient and really brokew things down so you could understand. Very helpful with practice tests and extra practice problems. You can tell he works very hard and cares that you learn.
He was very helpful and sweet, I couldn't have gotten the grade I received without his help. I would recommend taking any class he teaches. Mr. Calise Rocks!
Awesome professor I can not wait to take his class for math 083, I was afraid of math until I met him. I wish I had him in HS or sooner it could have changed a lot. Anyway you should never take any math class with anyone else if he is teaching it...I love this professor!!!!
Amazing professor, he really cares about how you do and how much you learn. I loved his class plus he is very funny and makes everyone feel comfortable in class. Definitely recommend him.
Very good professor, we need more professors like him. Made class fun and really drove home all the important information. He really made you feel a sense of accomplishment. Love his class, thanks!
Mr.Calise is the best Teacher I have ever had!! He prepares his students well for the tests and really shows that he cares about our success! If I could, I would take him for the rest of my college courses!!! If you get the chance to take his class, DO IT!!! he is awesome, in every single way possible!!! thank you so much Mr. Calise!!!
Best professor I have ever had, I know I am not the only one who thinks this either. I never felt so comfortable in a math class, he was awesome. Definitely take his class if you can!
Best professor ever, he was super nice and very helpful. He explained things so clearly and really made you actually enjoy math. You must take his class. Thanks again Mr. Calise.
Mr Calise is the best teacher I have ever had. He teaches everything thoroughly and clearly. I believe the only way you will fail this class is if you are lazy. If you feel lost he also has a website with a ton of power points and practice worksheets. He also offers extra credit and dropped our lowest homework grade. DON'T buy the book.
Awesome professor, was really helpful and always made the material make sense. You should definitely take his class!
Great class was self paced, but Mr. Calise really helped me get through the material. HE gave me lots of practice worksheets and videos to watch outside of class and in class he always was able to explain things way better then the book. Taking a self paced class with him was a very good move for me. Thank You!
I came into this class confused, but actually understood much more by the end. He explains things until you understand them.
Self paced class, amazing professor who was the best thing to happen to me. He really cares if you do well and learn the material, I definitely recommend him
This professor was very helpful and patient, I haven't been in school for 15 years but he worked with me and helped each me easier ways of understanding the material. He was very helpful, thank you.
Super professor, ccbc is lucky to have him here and I was lucky I took his class. Amazing experience
Self paced class but he was really helpful and made it feel like a lecture class in the sense you could always ask him questions and he would explain any mistakes you made very clearly. Super nice and I really enjoyed going to class. Take his class if you need a self paced course or a lecture.
Super smart and very helpful, he really made me understand everything we did in class. Definitely gave him a hot pepper as well, hehe
This was a self paced course and with mr. calise helping me I was able to finish the class in under 4 weeks. I am now enrolled in math 083 and I wish he was teaching it. He is Awesome! LOVE THIS GUY!
Amazing professor was very helpful and gave you lots of attention if you were struggling. We had some really slow students in the class but he always was patient and explained things very clearly. You always know what he is looking for in an answer and definitely prepares you for all the exams.
Very helpful professor this was a self paced class, and he helped me breeze right through it. Awesome experience, do not take a class with anyone else if you can help it.
This was a very good class, Mr. Calise helped me finish 081 in a matter of weeks. He definitely cares about you learning the material and really gives you a lot of support and resources to make sure that happens. I definitely want to take his lecture class for 083 if he is teaching it. TEACH 083
Great class, I don not know what I am going to do if he doesn't teach Math 083. He is so easy to understand and really knows how to break things down and explain them step by step. He gives great reviews and gives you tons of materials to use to get extra practice. You can definitely tell he cares about you learning the material. Awesome class!
Awesome professor really helped me get through the course. Highly recommend
Self paced Math 081 class, was rather easy but Mr. Calise really helped by giving me extra practice and help show me better ways of solving problems then the book said. Recommend his class.
Excellent guy, really made the class worthwhile I would really recommend taking his class if you can.
Professor Calise was easy to understand, and a good mix of tough but understanding when it came to tests. My only complaint is that he didn't stick to self-stated grading deadlines. If you're not going to make your own deadlines, don't tell students you will. Great class, great experience - definitely learned a lot! Keep up the great work.
Amazing professor, he really took the time to try and help you understand the material. Take advantage of his office hours and he will definitely help you do well.
He was a great professor, he made things very simple and broke down all the hard material very well. He went out of his way to give you lots of feedback and provide a lot of practice material to prepare for the exams. Cute and funny is a plus!
was not the most exciting material, but he made it a lot more interesting than most professors probably would. A lot of real world explantions and examples which made it easier to understand, very funny and very approachable. It was almost like having your own private tutor even in a big class.
I have to say that he is the best professor I have ever had. He made a 4.5 hour lecture class not seem that bad. The tests are fair and he gives a lot of review materials. His website and extra resources are perfect for extra help. He also was always available for office hours and was very helpful during that time. Highly recommend! Chili Pep
Mr Calise is amazing, he truly cares about your success in this class. He doesn't waste time on unimportant material, gives tons of broken down examples so you can understand. 4.5 hour lecture? piece of cake with him! I was scared to death of taking this class he showed me statistics isnt so bad. TAKE HIM!!!
This was a 3 hour lecture for 083 which I think would have sucked if it wasn't for Prof. Calise, he was very understanding and helpful and really broke things down in a way that it was easy to understand. I highly recommend him! chili pepper ;-)
Professor Calise was very helpful and made himself available for numerous office hours to review and go over the material. He made the class seem relevant to what I was doing in work and was fun to talk to in and outside of the class. I would recommend you take his class if you need statistics.
Anthony was a great teacher! He was also nice to talk to. Statistics was NOT easy, but he really was there to help. I went to him very often before class would start to go over a bunch of questions, etc and he was always willing to help. He is very patient and explains things well. If you have to take statistics I would highly recommend Anthony.
Professor Calise was my professor for a Pre-Algebra course. The course was taken as a refresher course before I was to begin my major math course for my intended major. His teaching style is so versatile I love it. He taught you how to understand the math and not just complete the problem and taught you different ways to get the answer.
Prof. Calise was very helpful during his office hours and put in a lot of time to make sure I understood the material. He is super nice and very easy to talk to. I definitely wish I had more professors like him. (Anthony if you read this, I want to say THANK YOU!!!)
Not the easiest class but this professor really cared about what you learned and made the class a lot more interesting than probably would have been with someone else. I hope to have him again for math 165
I do not like statistics and don't really see why I need it for my major, but Professor Calise made the class interesting and at least taught me some things I will probably use outside of my job. If anyone else was teaching this class I think I would have dropped.
Professor Calise really made this class a lot easier than when I last took it . I wish I had him the first time I took this class I probably would not have needed to retake it definitely take his class .
Intro stat was the best math course I have ever taken thanks to Professor Calise. He made a lot of what we did seem very relevant and broke it down so it was easy to follow. Great experience!
I hate math and this was my third time taking 083, I wish I had professor calise the first time. I still do not like math but he taught it in a way that was easy to understand and his website it awesome, super helpful. It was a fun semester, hope to have him again for Math 153.
Amazing job once again this was my third class I took with him and I will wait until he teaches 165 before I take it.
CCBC needs more professors like him, he made things so much clearer then ever before. He really needs to teach more classes so I can take his class again!
Very Long class it was almost 5 hours but Professor Calise definitely made it seem a lot less painful. He did have a lot of interesting stories and examples that seem to definitely help.
I took this class last semester and failed but I think it's because it was a 3 1/2 hour class and I couldn't stay focused that long. Otherwise he explains everything clearly and gives you the opportunity to ask questions. I'd take his class again for sure.
This was a very fun class that I recommend even if you do not need Statistics. You will learn a lot of useful things. Prof Calise is brilliant but explains things as if he was just one of the students which really helped me learn.
Mr. Anthony was AMAZING, he was very approachable and easy to talk to. He made everything seem relevant and broke things down to the most basic form. I would recommend you only take Math 153 with him and no one else. You will not regret it, even the students that struggled a bit said they wanted to take his class again. Great guy Thank you!
This was a very good class, I completed the class in half of a semester, (with special permission). Professor Calise made things seem very simple and did not try to confuse anyone. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand. I am not sure why I needed this class for my major but I can not have imagined taking it with anyone else.
Mr. Calise was the BEST professor I have ever had. He explained things so clearly and really took the time to help you if you were struggling. Make sure to go to his office hours if you are a little lost and he will help you. His practice exams are very similar to the actual exams so you will know what is going to be on the test. Awesome Guy!
I took this class last semester and it wasn't that bad, I was alright in Algebra in high school so it was very similar to a lot of stuff I did in Algebra 2. But Mr. Calise was very helpful in explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. I am glad I had his class and look forward to taking his Math153 class next semester.
This was my favorite class I have taken at CCBC and I do not usually like math, this professor is great.
It was a long Saturday class almost 4.5 hours, but It didn't always feel that bad. He was kind of funny and broke up the lesson with a lot of short videos and stories relevant to the material. Overall I wish I took the shorter class two days a week but Calise was really good.
This class was very hard for me it was my 3rd time taking 083, but I finally passed it and I have Mr. C for that. He was very helpful and offered a lot of tutoring during his office hours. I don't know why I needed this class for my major but I wish I had Mr. Calise the first time I took it. If he got me to pass he can get you to pass.
Was very helpful and patient, he explained things very clearly in class and also during his office hour before class. The course covered a lot of material but that doesn't have anything to do with the professor. Mr. Calise was very good and definitely made it easier for me to get an "A".
Very fun class, he gave a lot of interesting insight as to why this class was important.
Best class I have taken at CCBC, he is funny and made the 4-hour lecture class go by a lot faster then I would have imagined.
Professor Calise was a really great teacher, he explained things very clearly and was always trying to explain things in different ways if you were confused. I wish I purchased MiniTab to use at home because we didn't have a lot of in class practice with it, but he was funny and very easy to talk to. I highly reccomend his class!
Very fun class and he made it interesting each and every time. Take this class!
Super class, with lots of extra help and credit. He really cared if you understood what you were doing and made the material seem interesting because he always explains why it is useful and how it is used in real life. Funny guy with a lot of interesting stories! He could be the new Dos Equis Guy!
If you don't really like math that much take Mr. Calise's class, he explains thins better then anyone I have ever met. He is also the most patient person I have met teacher or not. If you struggle take advantage of his office hours. Best Professor at CCBC!
I really like this professor, he is so kind and willing to help his students. Just focus u will pass. He is there to walk you through everything. His exams are the same as his practice worksheet. Just study and ask him questions if you don't know.
He's great. *thumbs up*
Honestly, Mr Calise is the best teacher I have ever seen. He is knowledgeable. He is very kind and patient with his student and funny too. He is a fair grader. He gives some extra credit. study the practice worksheet because the tests will be just like it. Please take his class, you will not regret because you did. Trust me. This is not a joke.
Anthony Calise is an excellent math instructor! Math has always been some what of a challenge for me and he made it easy! I would highly recommend taking him for any math course. And by the way, he is easy on the eyes:)
This was a long 4 hour class but Prof. Calise made the class interesting and broke up the class with short videos and good stories related to what we were learning about. He is very easy to talk to and is available before class if you are struggling. I would definitely reccomend this class if you need statistics.
Statistics was a lot of fun, Mr. C gave you lots of examples as to why it is used and really made you understand the material. It was not the easiest class, but I can not imagine what it would have been like without him.
He really cares about you learning, does not just give you a grade. He was really helpful and gave numerous examples of how and why what we were doing was important and relevant. I did fail the class the first time I took it with him, but then took it again with him and got a B. It definitely was not his fault I failed the first time.
Not a lot of graded assignments which I liked but make sure you pay attention and asked questions if you are lost or stuck. He is really patient and always tries to explain things in a different way if you are lost. Also take advantage of his office hour if you need help. Great all around professor.
It was a good class, he broke things down to make them easy to understand. It is not a very exciting class, I had this professor for Math 153 as well and that was way more fun. I think that is just the material though. Prof. Calise is a great guy and really knows how to talk to students and get them to understand.
Great class funny and down to earth. Really knows how to connect the material and made true exams very similar to the review material. Good class if you want to learn and do well.
Mr. Calise is an awesome professor. I took him for Math 163. Everything went perfect. He explains everything VERY WELL. He makes sure that you are understanding. I really wish i could take him again for Math 165. If you have an opportunity to take his class, DON'T MISS IT.
This was a great class thanks to the professor, highly recommended!
Mr. Calise is clear and concise. What he lectures on is what you need to know and he relates material to everyday life to increase understanding and retention. HIGHLY recommended. Can't imagine taking Statistics with another prof.
Mr. Calise is a very good teacher. He is able to break problems in so many ways that you can't help but understand. He has a very good supplemental website that he uses. The website alone can help you pass, but actually getting the live teaching would definitely help you get an A.
Amazing professor, the content was fairly easy mainly due to him breaking it down and repeating many steps until you understood. Funny and very personable this was a great class.
Took all three math courses with him. Great instructor, and I would recommend
i must say i've never understood math as much as i did in his class. he makes math simple, fun and easy. he does not focus on quizzes and homeworks much as long as students understand everything. you only need to put your efforts in the tests in order to pass the class.
Amazing professor, really made the math relevant. I never thought I would use statistics now I find myself thinking about stuff we did in class all the time. Take this class.
Great class very relevant conversation and lectures. Definitely wouldn't have enjoyed the class with a different professor.
Really great teacher, pay attention and you'll get a good grade. he makes great study guides to help with the test and you have a ton of opportunities to bring your grade up
Very good professor, he does cover a lot of material but I think that is just the course. If you are in class and asking questions you should be fine, because he breaks things down very well. He's very approachable and has a good sense of humor which made the 3 1/2 hour lecture class go much faster.
Professor Calise teaches stat so good that it's impossible to get sleepy because there is so much to remember but he does VERY well at explaining ; the first 2 tests are easy the last 2 can be challenging if you're not paying attention ; there are 3 HW assignments & you should get an A on the 2 projects Show up on time & pay attention easy A or B
There is a reason he is ranked #1 in the country for Community Colleges, and he lived up to it. This class was very dry content wise but he somehow managed to make each and every lecture interesting. He is very funny and will answer all of your questions. Gives great resources to prepare you for the exams, I would take anything he teaches!
The best professor I have had at CCBC. All of his lectures were interesting and he made a point to make sure the class was prepared for Calculus. He is very funny and will answer all of your questions, and never makes you feel inadequate for having questions! Gives great resources to prepare you for the exams, I would take anything he teaches!
One of the best professors I've ever had. He was incredibly funny and always knew the best way to keep the class light, regardless of the content he was teaching. He also knew how to describe the work so it was understandable. I would easily take his course again if I needed another math credit and I would recommend him a thousand times over.
Best professor at CCBC, wish I new about him earlier. He breaks things down so well, if you can not learn the math with him you are doomed. Breaks up a long lecture class with magic tricks and funny jokes/stories but they are all about the course material so easy to understand why you are learning the material.
Made the class very interesting and provided a lot of examples and feedback. Very good test reviews and practice problems. Always willing to stick around and answer questions in class and after class.
Very helpful and made things very simple to understand, I do not understand maths that well and Mr. C explains things very clearly. So friendly and down to earth, and is like a super genius that makes you feel like one as well! LOVE LOVE LOVE this professor!
By far one of the best professors I have had for a math course. He explains everything very clearly and makes it easy to understand. He will take extra time with a student if needed to make sure they understand what he is saying. 100% would recommend his course. He makes it fun and bearable!!!
Great easy going professor, very approachable and willing to help. Pay attention and ask questions and you will do well. Gives a lot of practice and reviews that prepare you for all the exams. Also very funny which made the 2+ hour lecture almost fun. AMAZING!
This was my second time taking 082, but I know I would have easily passed if I took Mr. C's class the first time. I didn't want to take a night class the first time but it was definitely worth it. He is the greatest professor Ive ever had. Good lectures/stories and really explains everything in a way that is easy to understand! BEST!!!!
Very good professor, easy to understand and explains things very clearly. Hard not to pass this class.
Awesome class he really explained things clearly and had lots of practice before the exams. It was a class that really made sense which I never have happen in a math class. He is very nice and will work hard to get you to be successful. Really is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing class, I would recoomend this class even if you don't need statistics it will teach you a lot of useful information that will help you in everyday life. I wish I took this course 20 years ago, then again I don't think Mr.C was teaching that long ago. Maybe??? haha Best professor at CCBC hands down!
Best professor I ever had, he really explains things so clearly and also tells you why its important so you know the answer to that question when will I ever use this. Funny jokes and stories made the almost 4 hour lecture go by pretty quickly. Loved this class and loved the professor even more!
Best professor I have ever had, Mr. Anthony really cared about what we learned and made sure we knew the material and also knew why we were learning it. MANY MANY real world applications used in class which I loved because it actually made sense, he is funny and I can't wait to take another class with him soon.
Mr Calise is hands down THE BEST math teacher Ive ever had. I am a retunring adult student and did not remember anything from 16 years ago when I took alegrba. By the time I finished Mr. Calise class I was an A student was able to help others. He allows extra credit and explains things so easily that you catch on more quickly than usual.
Mr. Anthony is absolutely the best professor there is. He makes things so easy to understand and always explains why it is or isnt that important. He gave many real world example and is very funny and approachable. Wish he was teaching another section of 153 his classes fill up quick. Please let someone drop.
This was a very good lecture class, Professor Calise was very relateable and made the learning straightforward and easy to understand. He is really amazing and offers so many extra resources to help you learn the material. I would definitely take his class again!
This was my favorite class taken at CCBC Mr.C definitely made this class interesting and made me realize why I needed Statistics. Who would have known I've been mislead by consumers my whole life. This class will help you understand the world around you.
Very interesting class, the content was a little difficult but Profesor Calise made it easier to understand. He was very funny and knew how to break down the topics so they were easy to understand. The exams were all very similar to the practice exams he gave out and reviewed. I would definitely take another class with him.
This was an amazing class and even a better professor Professor Calise was very funny and always made the material seem relevant even if it didn't directly apply to my major. This was definitely the class where I learned the most and really will help me understand and make better decision in the future. HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!
Mr. Calise is a straight forward teacher. Pay attention and you will pass with an A. Everything is simplified so you shouldn't have to decipher the things you need to know from what you don't.
Professor Anthony was the besrt, he gave great practice and reviews and was always available for office hours and help. He knew how to explain things so you could understand, if you cant pass his class there probably isnt much hope (haha) looking forward to taking his Math 153 class and learn to count cards, he does magic too , loved this guy!!
So lets get one thing straight, I HATE MATH. I think I'm pretty smart, but when it comes to math I have always struggled. Prof. Calise is smart, funny, and always willing to answer questions and go over material until you get it. If you go to class and put in the work in you can make it through the class. He is by far the best college math prof.
This was a very interesting class and Prof. C made it even more interesting. I am not a big fan of math but this wasn't really a math class. He explained things so well and really broke down the information with some great relateable analogies. Loved this class thanks to Prof. C!!!!!!
THis was my favorite class at CCBC he really made the material fun and relevant to what my major was. Very approachable and very helpful. I definitely would take any of his classes in the future!
This professor broke things down so well, he was funny, and made every single lesson relatable to LIFE! He was so helpful and was willing to put in so much extra work and time to help me understand what was going on. I hate math but I am pretty sure if Mr. Calise was my teacher things would have been different!! LOVED his class and him
This guy is hands down the BEST statistics professor in the entire universe. He makes a difficult subject EASY! He is funny and so caring! Dont let others scare you away with claims like, all statistics classes are impossible to pass because, seriously, with this professor not only will you pass but you will learn so much w/o even realizing it!
AMAZING!!!!!! Wish I could take more of his classes, I haven't been in school for a few (many) years and more people like Mr. Calise would have really made a difference in what I did earlier in my career. Really explains the importance of everything and breaks things down so well, even I understood. Funny and Caring, you have to take his class.
Best professor at the college hands down!
Can't say enough good things. He has truly mastered his craft and knows exactly how to present the material so that it's understandable. He has tons of experience in so many different classrooms that he has really honed in on what works. REALLY nice, funny, approachable. Makes it very clear what content to know for tests. Great pace, fair workload!
Amazing, class really broke things down so they were easy to understand. I wish I had him earlier in my life. Funny and really cares if you learn, not just pass.
Very great professor. He explains things until you get it and gives lots of resources to practice and videos to watch outside of class. Funny and cares if you learn not just pass. Am taking his 153 class next semester!
Awesome Awesome Awesome Professor!!! Would recommend him to everyone. I am taking him next semester as well.
A very good professor, make sure to ask questions if you are lost and go to his office hour for help. He was very willing to help and made the material relevant.
CCBC is the luckiest school ever for having this guy! He is the best professor Ive ever had. He is so good at explaining the material and wont leave it until everyone understands. The homework & projects are easy, the tests are easy as well. Only negative is night class, but take what you can get with a gem like this!!
Best Math Professor ! If you hate math or aren't good at it, this is your guy. Professor Calise, gives great lectures. He breaks everything down for you. I always felt prepared for the exams. He gives feedback and comes to class early and stays after if anyone has questions. I highly recommend. He makes Math interesting.
Easiest math class you will ever take. Seems to be slow to grade due to his extremely busy worklife (80+ hours/wk).
Third time taking Statistics, I wish i had him the first time everything we did made sense and he actually explains why it is useful with many great and sometimes funny examples(stories). Clear expectations and tons of practice, he is how all professors should be. THANK YOU!!!!!
Lectures were awesome ever day in class, everything thing we did made sense and was explained why it was useful and how it could benefit you. I literally would take any class he was teaching if I had the time, I wish he was teaching something next semester that I didn't already take. Prof. Calise is without question the best professor at CCBC.
This was a tough class for me & I am not sure I would've made it without professor Calise. He broke things down so well and really made the material interesting and easy to understand. I never thought I would have to use any of this stuff in life but I now think about statistics almost everyday and now better understand data I see. He's the best
Mr. Calise did a great job explaining the problems and why it was important to know how to do it. He also explained many basic concepts in a very simple way to understand, I am now able to help my 4th grader with math, hah!
I really wish he was teaching math082 he is super, I always hated math but he made me understand things I struggled with for years. I actually understand why I need to know this stuff and I can see how it is all just the same with more steps. Funny stories helped make connections with math steps and memorizing facts. He is the best!
I have struggled with math forever but prof calise made this class interesting and much easier to understand then when I took it a long time ago. I really think every single class had something relatable in it and that really helped me understand how to explain my answers. If you need math 153 you have to take his class.
Proffesor Calise is the best I would higly recomend him, it is an easy A and he gives very good review for the exams and he will help you anytime if you need some help and he makes you love the math if you are not good with math.
Best professor I have ever had at ccbc. Thanks so much professor Calise !! You are amazing and awesome �� I wish I had you for my other math classes. I highly recommend him for each one of you
Great and fun lectures, he really made me enjoy statistics. Was readily available outside of class to offer help and guidance, he really cared about what you learned and not just a grade.
I love his class, if I could, I would take this class again. Professor Calise explains its so clear. I could believe that I understand and learn so much from his class. He is very nice too. He responds to emails in 1-2 days!
I took professor Cailse many semesters ago and always meant to do this rating. He is an amazing professor, he knows his stuff and he is so helpful. He is kind and willing to help you do your best, his lectures are amazing. If you show up, pay attention, and do the work you will succeed in this class.
Prof Calise was terrific, he was very easy to talk to and made things easy to understand. He was also very patient and explained things a few times when many people were having a hard time. Funny stories and made a 4 hour lecture much more "fun" (as fun as a 4 hour lecture can be hah)
Professor Calise was amazing, I wish all professors were like him. He was very approachable and available for help regularly. I am not quite sure how he does it. He works non-stop and you can tell he loves it, which makes things so much easier to understand and follow along. A++++++ wish I could take his class again.
He make sure everyone understands the concepts . He doesn't assign homework like that and he doesn't call on people to answer problems unless they volunteer.The practice exams are harder than the actual exams so that helps greatly! He's easy going and really love teaching please take his course if you struggle with math!the other reviews are right
There are no words to sum up how GREAT this Professor is! I developed a phobia about math and had severe anxiety going into 082. I had previously failed 081,3X'S until I met another professor who was good but did not teach 082 that semester. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND PROFESSOR CALISE! He made me fall in love with math again. DONT HESISTATE TAKE HIM NOW!
I took him my first semester at ccbc and loved him. He made math 081 seem like a breeze. Its not like most teachers that teach from a book, he make it make sense in seem interesting. This by far my favorite math teacher.
Best professor I have ever had, can't wait to take your next class next semester. THANK YOU!
Professor Calise makes math seem easy. He explains concepts clearly and makes the class engaging. Using Unstuck AI and the free textbook helped me prepare for tests.
First off, I absolutely hate math. It took me years to go back to school because I dreaded the math classes. Professor Calise changed that for me. Not only did I succeed and actually UNDERSTAND math, but he was encouraging to all of us and always available if we needed him. If possible, I would take him for every Math class I have to take. 100%
Professor Calise cares and tries to help as much as possible. Makes time to come in early when he can for extra help, if you need it. Gives lots of resources to help you succeed. Would Definitely take again.
Professor Calise was amazing, he was funny, smart and really knew how to explain things in a way that made it easy to follow. I loved coming to his class which I haven't felt since elementary school. Wish he was teaching math 083 next semester. I know I will be using his website and keeping in touch. Thank you, professor.
Take him if you're not math inclined, he is a generous grader that will do everything he can to help you pass. He explains topics well in class and I cannot recommend him enough.
Take this professor. He is easily the best math professor I have taken. He grades fairly well, is funny, and makes math understandable and fun. I'm not just recommending, I'm telling you to take him if you haven't yet!
I mean I am not sure what I can say that isn't in already in the comments lol. Just read the rest, Mr. Calise is simply amazing. I can not put into words how much I hated math and was scared to try this course again (failed before). He really cares about his students as people, it makes me emotional just thinking about it. Take his class....
If I could choose him to be my teacher every time I would. he's very understanding, and he genuinely cares about his students. when he teaches even if you don't understand it he will stay after and go over it with you. one of the BEST TEACHERS. I suck at math, and he made it so easy. wish all teachers was like him. he put himself in our shoes
Professor calise was amazing. This is the first time I actually understood math in my life. He explains things so that they are easy and I love all the different colored chalk he uses it makes it easy to follow along and take notes. Good stories and connections to why we actually need to know this stuff. Don't take the class with anyone else.
