explains math in the simplest way to understand. A TRUE TEACHER

Excellent clarity. Works very hard to be the best teacher he can be.

Is very good at explaining calculus

Draws very nice and neat pictures. Writes clearly. Don't always know what he is talking about. Gives fair tests.

He is good teacher, Explains realy well, test for people who follow his leactures and do all the homework are fair. Good attitude towards students

knows his stuff..explains it well and test are really short.prob 4-6 questions..but you have to pay attention and go to class if u wanna pass

He was good at explaining. Patient and took the time to go over everything. Plus he let us use notes, always a plus. A genuinely good guy. You could totally tell math was his thing.

Moves very fast, a section a day & doesnt really stop to go over homework questions. However he has really nice handwriting, very readable & draws the NEATIEST graphs I have ever seen. Sometimes a little sarcastic & cracks jokes. Class average for the first exam was a F, but went up to a C on the second. Very difficult, but afterall, its calculus.

First,he is totally a nice guy. Always paid attention to his students. Second, his assignments are really effective for learning and for exams. I couldn't even understand what he was saying in the begining of the semester, but I gradually understood what I was doing in the class following homework. It was an awesome semester taking his class.

His was the hardest class I've taken, and not because calculus is hard. He is extremely well organized and has good handwriting/drawing skills. He is very nice but a tough test grader. Although the ult. grade is relative. I probably won't pass but I tried really hard. He was very helpfull. He is genuinely interested in his students.

Good teacher, but here are some tips to getting an A in his calculus class: (1) don't take notes, just pay close attention to his lecture, (2) do all the homework on time, (3) don't be intimidated by him; ask questions right away if there's something about his lecture you don't understand, or at least talk to him after class. He is happy to help.

Prof Wheeler is an interesting teacher. it's almost hard to explain. He takes attendance daily. But teaches straight from the book that it's almost a carbon copy of his lectures and the text. Homework isnt so bad. 3 exams are pretty easy - they're easier than the practice exams. And another good thing is that he tells you what will be on the final.

Mr. Wheeler iz a cool teacher trust me!!!!!!!! I was a C student in basic math and i barely passed my algebra classes. I passed his class with a C. If u just do the homework and show up to class everyday you can pass his class. He drops the lowest test grade. He moves very quickly so just go to class and do the work.

If you're as feeble in math like I am, then BE WARNED! His profound mathematical depth tags alongside his perfect handwriting skills. His writing was so beautiful, it burned my eyeballs. Those lectures and the book are impossible to understand. His direct clarity doesn't make the mind boggling material any simpler to tolerate. MOREOVER, he took attendance at END of class. Pfft.

his tests were fair, but the material is really confusing, and he doesnt help much to make it not confusing and his final is evil, but everything he does is perfectly drawn or written

hates it when people are late and was on/off about taking attendance. amazing writing, very neat. allows a page of notes for midterms. very helpful reviews before midterms, but the final was kinda hard. assigns hw, but gives about a week to finish it. approachable, but does have the occasional bad day.

A very traditional Calculus professor. He does not like it when you are late or when students fall asleep in his class. He really cares about his students learning the material. He is one of the BEST math professors I have had. He will tell a joke from time to time. A really great guy. Very approachable. Great explaining material during office hrs.

Nice old man, perfect handwriting and graphs and very helpful on his subjects. Although, I have to say that if I didn't take calculus before his class I might have been confused as all of my other classmates were who never took it before. But I assure you that the material he teaches is WAAAYYY TOOO EAASSSYY! Just pay attention and you're good.

PROFESSOR WHEELER, IS TOTALLY LAID BACK, AND HAS A MELLOW APPROACH ON TEACHING MATH. HE DOESNT RUSH OVER THE MATERIAL, WHICH IS HELPFUL,HIS CLASS IS STRAIGHT FORWARD, AND ALTHOUGH HE CAN OCCASIONALLY BE MORE CONFUSING THAN HELPFUL, HE TRIES REALLY HARD TO HELP EVERYONE SUCCEED, HE MAKES HIS TESTS MORE THAN FAIR, AND CAN OFTEN BE QUITE A CHARACTER.

Its not that hes easy, its that he structures his courses to best help the needs of his students. Tests usually focus on basic concepts and doesn't believe in tricking students on tests. If you're serious about learning Calculus, he can help. I was bored during only one lecture of his and even he comented on how boring the topic of his lecture was.

He is a really nice teacher.... good if you come to class, be on time....there is homework but not really counted, no quiz only like 3 test which makes them worth alot.... good teacher but very slow and HAS THE MOST BEUTIFUL HANDWRITING IN THE WORLD :)

HW is voluntary. Tests are very straightforward; he doesn't try to trick you, he just wants you to understand the concepts. I felt the class was easy but I know I learned the material as well. Would definitely take him again.

Prof Wheeler has the most wonderful graph and hand writing anyone ever had. His class is pretty straight foward except one day (Monday)he came to class looking high^-^ Anyhow, you are allowed to bring 1 page note for your tests. You can write anything you want on it and he won't collect it.

HE HAS THE BEST HANDWRITING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!..because of the neat handwriting, it makes you want to take notes...the exams are prety hard...he gives you a lot of time to do yr homework...he gives a lot of good examples...MUST HAVE MATH TEACHER!

Do all the homework and study hard for the tests. Math isn't really my forte but I learned a lot from him.

he is the best math teacher , who i have ever met at sfsu. i learned a lot of stuff from him, and his hand writing was clear and direct. he won trick u on the test. 3 midterms and a final (25%) Only if u do well on the test, even if u do not do the hw, u still can get the good grade.

Yes, he had the nicest handwriting and his graphs are oddly perfect. ha Do the Homework and pay attention. EASY and i learned a lot! Exams and final allow a cheat sheet front and back. Cmon! thats the best

i hate going to this class b/c he's so boring, doesn't have a set testing schedule, hw due every friday but you have to go to know what he assigned, tests are only about 5 questions but goes over each questions concept the class before, 1 full page of notes, explains thoroughly but it's hard to pay attention, TAs grade hw very hard, 65% is passing

Professor Wheeler teaches the subject of Calculus very well! He knows what he is talking about and he demonstrates that in lectures and I really feel like I have gotten a lot out of Calculus. HWs are due every friday and altho they dont count torwards your grade, do them anyways!!! He prepares you well for tests and they are more than fair if u stu

i loved this class he makes it sooooo clear. his graphs are the neatest thing anyone will ever see and he is awesome.

Wheeler is a great math teacher, its very possible to get an A, just visit him in office hours, and make sure you study. He is very approachable and his lectures are clear. Def better than the other math teachers at state!

he is probably the best prof alive!!!! his lectures are super easy to understand... his graphs are really neat. go to his office hours you'll not regret it..

Calculus 3 is hard enough, and Mr. Wheeler understands that so he tries his best to clarify all the concepts that we're supposed to learn in class. Just pay close attention (if you can) to his lectures, write good notes, listen to what will be on the tests and write good sheets for the midterms and finals. If you do that, you'll do all right.

I'm not great at math but this class and this teacher was a bit more understandable! I really recommend this class, I failed the first test and was able to pass the class with a B!

Good teacher. He doesn't respond to emails so if you ever need help go to his office hours. He moves slowly so it's pretty easy to follow and he's very nice.

He's very straightforward with his lectures and goes pretty slow so it's easy to catch on. His tests are easy since he goes over exactly which concepts you need to understand.

BORING!!!!!! but he's a cute old man and he's really good and clear when it comes to teaching math. If you want an easy A, take him, if you want excitement, don't take him. simple. :)

Easy easy, just go to class, a bit boring when he teaches but he's very clear and easy.

Wheeler's Business Calculus class is pretty easy when you diligently take notes and frequently ask questions, if you sit at your desk like a lump then this is not the class for you. Wheeler can ramble on form time to time but when it comes to teaching then he definitely knows his stuff, he allows one sheet of notes for exams too! TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!

His lectures are clear and definitely easy to follow, and he lets you use a cheat sheet for every exam. he goes over what's going to be on every exam, and even drops your lowest exam score from your final grade. The only thing that's a pain is the online homework, but it's a really small part of your grade. I recommend him for business Calculus.

Wheeler is a amazing professor, I have always had a hard time understanding math, but his lectures are fairly easy to follow. He TELLS you what will be on the tests and final. HE spends two weeks going over all the material before the tests, to get you the best prepared. The homework and quizzes are not hard, they help you a lot. GREAT professor

This guy is awesome, I literally didn't have to put any effort for this class! Partly because his lectures are really awesome and easy to understand. He goes over what will be on the test and as a freaking bonus allows us to use a little cheat sheet during a test! What more do you want, of and the online HW is a piece of delicious cake! Take IT!!!

Prof. Wheeler is like a friendly old grandfather. He literally tells you what problems will be on the test and he does these problems for you in class. He's also really clear. Homework is online, and attendance is not mandatory, but if want to do well on the tests, go to class. Like I said, he literally explains what problems will be on the tests.

Wheeler (aka Danny DUB) is a friendly old man that wants students to succeed. He allows cheat sheets on tests (2 midterms and 1 final). Homework and quizzes are all online, and if you ever need help you can go to his office and he will go over the exact problems you need. He gives the problems that will be on the test weeks in advance. GREAT!!

Wheeler is a cute old man, very nice and patient. I love his class. The homework and quiz are online. He sometime will change the due day to help us have more time work on it. He will give us hints before midterms and final exam, which are very helpful.

Challenging math class but Wheeler makes it easy. Copy all the notes in class, all notes written on the board. These notes are worth like gold so going to class is a must. In return, all questions on exams and quizzed are based on the notes. 2 Midterms and Final reviewed EACH question in detall. HW & Quizzes online. Quiz Q's one chance only. EASY!!

Hands down, Dan Wheeler is the best Math teacher! Some people might complain and say his class is really boring,but he explains the material perfectly. Go to class because the notes are a key factor when it comes to the tests. There is online hw and quizzes. Two exams one index card for a cheat sheet. Go to his office hours and you'll do fine!

Great teacher, willing to help. The class it's self is boring, lots of material that is covered. He allows note cards for the exams, and homework was all online. Book was hardly used.

Really sweet man. His classes are usually large so it can be hard to pay attention. Be sure to take notes. He usually covers sample problems on what exactly will be on each test. Expect to pay and extra $35+ for online homework/quizzes. Take him if you're decent at math. If not, I suggest switching to an easier major.

Professor Wheeler is an excellent instructor! With him calculus fun to learn. Attending class is mandatory and he goes over EVERYTHING that will be on the test. When you sit in the front it is easier to hear him and easier to stay focused. He loves to answer questions and go over what one did not understand, he definitely loves to teach!

He is a great teacher because he goes over what is important. When you have questions about a problem, he would do the problem in class. He is clear when he explains, and he goes through step by step. Also the online hwk is pretty consistently easy because all you really need to do is follow the examples in the book and during his lectures.

Two midterms and one final. And we're allowed to use an index cards as a "cheat sheet." He goes over the types of questions that will be on the midterms/final. Copy everything he write on the board because he gives really good notes! Attend class. There's online homework at least once a week.

3 tests that you're allowed to have a cheat sheet the size of an index card for. Before an exam, always goes every every problem that is going to be on it. The questions on the test are basically the problems he goes over during review, but its different values. Homework is all online. Sit in front because he uses markers that make it hard to read.

Excellent Calculus teacher. Clearest, cleanest handwriting on the whiteboard I've ever seen from a professor, and he loves drawing pictures to describe problems. Expects you to have a handle on the basics, but also seems to really want his students to understand math. Keep up with the homework, ask lots of questions, and you'll do fine.

Wheeler is the nicest professor ever! You have 3 tests throughout the semester, each for which you can have a cheat sheet and he goes over the problems before the test! Homework is online but hardly counts for anything, go to class though it will help, esp before a test. Easy A

Excellent professor, I never went to the labs and still got a good grade in his class. He explains concepts well, he is not one of those math professors that goes into heavy theortical crap, but that he is that kind of math professor that is straight to the point. Tests are easy so long as you study for what he says will be on thetests, andtheyWILL

Wheeler recently implemented a mandatory attendance for 5% grade. Either way he is very clear in what he wants, tells you what is on the tests, and is there to help. He does forget what he says sometimes, therefore homework dates were a bit messed up, other than that, EzPz.

Great professor. Doesn't drop the lowest grade however, you are allowed to have a cheat sheet one each exam. His teaching philosophy is that exams should never be harder than classworkhomework and he stands by this. His exams are easy if you attend class and ask for help.

Took Dan in the fall 2015 & the class was very easy. He let us have an 8x11 cheat sheet for each test. He goes over all the questions that are going to be on the test. So write down all the steps & equations b/c on the test it is just different numbers. The HW can be kind of annoying though. Dan is like a sweet old grampa.

Doc Wheeler is everything you would want in a math prof. I had him for Diff Eq's over the summer. He's approachable, clear about what he expects, and doesn't hem you up over small calculation errors, as long as your reasoning was on target. If you show up late or don't attend, he's hard on you. Its disrespectful and immature, so I don't blame him.

best calc prof.! mandatory attendance but clearly explains the work and process. allows one sheet of notes for exam so if you follow exactly what he puts as examples you'll be good. he stresses the book like crazy, never picked it up. catty about late students and poor attendance but otherwise an adorbs old man. great at answering questions.

Show that you're willing to put in the effort and it's hard to fail one of his classes. Has the occasional minor slip up with his lectures but never because of lack of understanding. Personable guy.

Took this course and His grading criteria is really clear as your grade is graded off of only several big exams and your attendence. Attendence is part of your grade and I would say he doesn't assign much homework, nor is it graded. But to do well in this class it requires self teaching and asking lots of questions, He is a nice funny cute teacher.

I would definitely take a course with professor Wheeler again. The bottom line for him is this: Show up to class and actually pay attention and you shouldn't have trouble passing. Homework can be hit or miss, but for tests, he usually covers what every question will be and solves example questions during class.

Go to his class. Pay attention and dont skip classes. Easy tests. Similar to practice problems and tests. Long hws

I am not good with Math but i literally do well for his homework and exams. He allows cheat sheet for exams and he put up practice exams which are similar to the exam questions. However, you must show up to every class and you are not allowed to play your phone in class. Homework is assigned basically every class.

he's pretty picky on the formatting on the homework and even the tiniest mistakes on an exam will get some points marked off. fortunately, he allows cheat sheets on the day of the exam and gives a practice exam before each one which is pretty helpful. apply yourself and make an effort to form a study group within the class and you should be fine

He is the legend of sfsu. Best calc teacher with easy assignments and funny lectures. Hes got jokes and cares that you pass. You get one page of notes for the tests except the final. Also if you fail every test you can pass if you do good on the final.

Most of the time, I had no idea what he was saying. I still got A's & B's on exams though. You have to at least grasp the basic concepts of what he is teaching. If you can do that either by practice/do the hw or videos/khan acad, you're likely to pass. Exams are pretty simple because he wants us to pass.

Wheeler cares about what he's teaching & certainly wants his students to pass under one condition: if you show up. Attendance is extremely important as he regularly drops hints as to what's going to be on exams. If you're not there, boo-hoo. Not a class for the irresponsible. If you practice the worksheets, show up, & listen, you will get an A.

Professor Wheeler was a great professor for Calculus 2. He lectures slow and neat. Gives homework for extra practice but doesn't collect or grade it. He gives good study guides and allows cheat sheets for all midterms and the final. I did well on all the tests, and they are most (or all) of your grade.

Okay well professor Wheeler was fine! It was really sad he couldn't teach anymore because of this pandemic, so the TA took over and HE WAS INSANEEE!! Professor Wheeler dropped one midterm out of 2 and the final was decent! I hope he can teach after this pandemic ends, he's very clear!
