Nice, experienced teacher, doesn't make math any more complicated than it needs to be. If you have to take math anyway, try to get him as your teacher!

I had taken mth 1050 earlier with Lynn Turnquist and had a D- after first test. With McMaster I had A's on my first two tests, and got away with a B for the entire course. He is a great teacher, kind grader and very helpful.

One of the better teachers in the math department. I know that is not saying much, but he is a good teacher. Very helpful. I really struggle with math and his grading is fair.

I really liked Bruce and for me he made trig very understandabel. He used to teach high school and I think he teaches with the mentality that you don't already know everything.

He is a great teacher. Makes it very clear and breaks it down so that you can understand. I really enjoyed his class.

Super nice guy, awesome dry sense of humor for those who like that. He knows his trig, and cares about the students. His test are very fair. Math is Math and is not a class to breeze or sleep through, know this before you pick a major that requires much math. Just study, go to the Math Lab, and all will be well. I suggest Bruce if ya can.

He is a great teacher, and if you like things being explained, he is your guy. It can be a little boring, but math isn't the most exciting thing anyway. He is understanding and will always help you out.

Nicest teacher!! A little boring, but very helpful and willing to explain a concept until you understand. Tests weren't too bad, homework was graded fairly. I was DREADING taking Calc, but he made it managable. I loved going to his class just because he was such a nice person!

I really loved this teacher. I'm not a Math person, but the way he taught, I understood so much! HW is due every day. He drops the lowest test and the 4 lowest HW scores. The tests weren't that bad either as long as you did the HW. I would definately recommend him!

the material he tests on and the homework should are easy to comprehend, but he marks the work off on your tests. for instance, if you get the answer right but you miss a step or two you ultimately just missed the whole question. hes a high shool teacher and it shows big time! he cant really teach calc, which is ironic because hes a calc teacher. u

I thought he was a really good teacher. He really cares about his students and does what he can to help. The tests weren't too difficult. If you did the homework and review everything on the study guide you'll score one of the high grades on the tests. He does drop the 5 lowest test/quiz scores and lowest test score, so everyone grade does up!

Professor McMaster is probably one of the sweetest old guys ever. His class wasn't too difficult, as long as you go every time and do your homework you'll be just fine. McMaster made class fun to go to. His favorite words in our class were bingo and yippie. He was very entertaining and willing to help. I definetly recommend him as a teacher!

He is really good at teaching the material and takes it slowly so you can understand. But he is ridiculous when it comes to grading tests. you never know what you need to write on problems.

He is more like a high school teacher then college teacher homework is easy tests are ok if right out all steps otherwise lose points even if have right answer. Is kind of slow and seems to get annoyed if question him at all. As far as UVU profesers go he is better then most but compared to and other school very sub par.

Great teacher. he knows math

Bruce is a good teacher. If you keep up on homework you'll have no problems. He is strict about showing all your work on tests.

Bruce, was a good teacher. the last math class I've taken was from Bruce. I've sat in on a few of his courses at UVU. In all honesty I think he was harder on us kids, than on the college students. I hope to take his Trig. class spring2010, He is willing to help explain concepts after class. Which is great for a my learning difficulties.

Any student that is willing to simply take the homework seriously will ace the class. That's how he's designed it. Not the most entertaining man ever, but I never have understood my least favorite subject better than I do now. I have an A in this class, and if I can get an A in a math class from him, anyone can--as long as you know how to work.

He isn't entertaining in the least, but gives very good test review notes, and his tests are EXACTLY like the homework and in-class lectures. If you go to class and do the homework you will ace the class. He doesn't know his stuff as well as other professors I've had, but his abilities are sufficient.

I was so scared to take this class. I didn't do so well in MATH 1010 so I was terrified to take 1050. But Bruce was so helpful. He was always willing to answer questions. Very patient with students. He is very willing to work with you. I also suggest getting the solutions manual. If you get stuck, it helps alot. Friendly and funny guy. Take Bruce

I loved having Mr. McMaster as a teacher. He was very explanatory, and was always willing to help everyone out. If you pay attention, and do the homework, then you'll pass guaranteed. Sure, he talks very queitly, but it's not his fault. If you can't hear him, just simply migrate to the front of the room.

If you really want to learn College algebra take his class. he explains the material very well, he makes minor mistake sometimes just to see whose paying attention.He drops the lowest test and the lowest 5 homework. If you have any disability; he will give you the accommodation you need to learn the material like everyone else.

I really enjoyed this math class! I had to take it for my major and math isn't my thing but...I did well, the teacher was easy to understand and willing to help me. If you take notes, do your homework and show up to class you will do fine! Great guy! Wish he taught 2020 too!

Good old guy. He drops the lowest test score and 5 quizzes/assignments. Other than that, the only thing you have to be careful about is that if you want him to make exceptions beyond those dropped scores, he shows no mercy. He gets behind sometimes, which then only benefits you because then you skip assignments. I would recommend him! :D

He explained everything we needed to know and everything was really easy if you did your homework. Show all your work

He is a fairly easy teacher and goes through the material nice and slow. He sometimes doesn't know how to answer questions, but tries to help to the best of his ability. His quizzes are easy and if you do the assignments on time, you'll get a good grade.

Very good teacher. He will provide the entire semester homework in a page protector. He gives a quiz every couple of weeks. His test are not multiple choice.

Prof. McMaster is a very good professor. Make sure that you do all of the homework, and go to class because he does a lot of the homework problems in class. Very good teacher. Warning: he does not let you use calculators at all. However, this has made me better at math! He's a great teacher, do the homework, pay attention, and you'll pass.

McMaster is a great professor to teach you Math 1050. He's an old school teacher, and makes sure you know how to do the arithmetic (he doesn't let you use calculators on tests or quizzes, only hw). If you actually want to learn your stuff instead of just showing up for a grade, he's the professor you want. Very helpful, teaches you thoroughly.

Tests are NOT multiple choice. He is a pretty good teacher, but there isn't a ton of room for mistakes. I did super well in my 1011 Math, but ended up with a B in his class. If you're good at math, take the class.

He is literally the best teacher ever. I barely passed 1010 but I was able to get an A in this class. He starts with chapter 1 which reviews the foundations instead of jumping straight into chapter 2 so if you don't have a great foundation take the class with him and as long as you put in effort you will do great!

Professor McMaster is a really good teacher. He makes sure that you understand the fundamentals, and doesn't go way over your head. He teaches simply, and really is grounded in what is important. I love how short his tests are. This is a math class, so you will have homework regularly.

great math teacher. quick pace class due to time block. assignments are all laid out clearly at the beginning of the semester. funny at times, dry at others. great professor.

Can be dry at times, but he is passionate about math. The way he grades homework can be frustrating at times but it's pretty clear and fair. He knows the subject, just runs out of class time sometimes.

McMaster was a great professor! Homework every night, but it was nothing extreme. This was helpful to fully understand the material and gain a lot of practice. He does have a quiet voice so make sure to sit close to the front of the classroom. If you pay attention and do the homework, the class isn't bad. Take it from him!!!

Lots of homework(its a math class) but its easy. Sometimes I think the textbook teaches better than him but his class was honestly great and Ive heard hes better to take than other teachers. Tests arent bad and theres extra credit! Sweetest man.

Really sweet guy, very clear about the subject and all the necessary steps you need to take in each problem. He is a bit soft spoken, so try and get a seat at the front of the class. Legend has it, the m used to notate slopes in linear equations was named after him. M ... McMaster? Com'on you guys! lol Really great professor, do take from him!

Great professor! He is very soft spoken so sit in the front of class! He cares about his students and is clear on expectations for homework and tests. If you complete the homework you'll do fine on the tests. He sometimes gives study guides that are helpful. Very easy if you pay attention and don't fall asleep!

He is really kind and teach very well. He always reminds us of test that is coming up and quiz. He always say, make show you prepared for the test because you will need to pass the class. You can asked him questions right after class and he will help you to understand or solve a problem in the board with you before you leave. He is super cool.

There's pretty much a homework assignment every night, but that is to be expected with math. None of the assignments are very long. He does a very good job of making the material understandable, and gives you plenty of information about quizzes and tests coming up. Great teacher.
