I had him for both 0306 and 0308. He is very good at explaining it so that you will not feel lost and confused. He is wonderful at teaching and tutoring. He does believe in and is serious about no cell phones or pagers on in class (which I totally agree with). I believe he is very fair and professional. He made me view math in a better perspective.
he was good teacher. test is very easy
He is good teacher.He very easy.You don't worried about the test because he make test very easier.
Mr. Maurer is an awesome math teacher!! He explains things very well, and his tests are exactly what he gives you on the review just different numbers. I would definetly recommend taking this teacher!
Great prof, explains things perfectly and doesnt leave anyone behind.
What is all the hype about? The guy is a SNOB and he is ARROGANT. He DOES NOT help you succeed whatsoever. He gives you these lame review sheets at the beginning of the semester and expects you to do them like a religion. Also, when he assigns HW, he tells you to do every 4th problem and if you don't like doing HW, don't sign up for him.
Genuine guy, and genuinely interested in math. He answers all your questions and he gives a review sheet that almost exactly matches the tests. I made a high A without too much strain. I would recommend him.
Awesome teacher. review sheet just like test.
he is good math teacher and he is nice guy, don't orried about the test because his test so easy
Fantastic math teacher. He made math interesting for two semesters (and I used to hate math because I was bad at it). Never felt stupid asking a question in his classes. Practise tests are fabulous, loved the structure of his classes.
1 IN 10 PROFESSOR
Great Teacher. I have been out of school for years and I have always been terrible in algebra. Mr. Maurer is a fantastic teacher. He as patience, understanding and will take the time to go over problems in different ways until you get the "Ah Ha!" My only regret is he does not teach College Algebra.
Professor Maurer is a good teacher overall, but he gives wayyy to much homework. I took him for a mini mester and didn't take the fact that the class is only 3 weeks into consideration at all. If you have a job and do not have the wholee day to do his homework, keep looking.
The best Beginning and intermediate teacher ever!!! Take him if you need a super refreshment in Math. He is very professional, cares about all his students and sometimes his analogies are funny. He is a wize man, he can tell right away if you are having trouble and tries to help you.. Take him, take him!!!!!
Smart guy, seems to know every mistake we can come up with, and tell you why and how to avoid it. Lots of HW, which actually helps you. He gives you guides for the tests and they are very helpful. He likes his students to participate and go to the board to get rid of any unclear aspect, which I appreciated it. I absolutely recommend him!!!
The guy knows his math, but is a complete jerk and DOES NOT HELP YOU AT ALL.... TEACHES YOU 4 SUB-CHAPTERS IN ONE CLASS AND YOU HAVE A TEST THE NEXT CLASS. Total BS!! Do NOT recommend him... Seems to like to drop and fail people. If you get him DON"T MISS CLASS or you are screwed! And he does not care what it is for!!! Real Jerk!
Great teacher knows his math. I totally recommend him, take him!
Wish he taught college algebra, but I had him for 0310 and 0308. The best teacher I have ever had. I was out of school for 15 years and he made it seem so simple. But you must study to pass. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER HE IS SO USESLESS and btw he makes you feel so stupid though you know your not. HE dosent like people to begin with. Make sure your not late or tardy as he says it, make sure you attend his class or he will screw you over!!! Just dont take him, listen to me dont listen to all of those other stupid people that say take him
I had him for 0306, and he was wonderful then. But in 0308, he was not good. His teaching was hard to understand, he is hard to get a hold of when you need help, and his dry sense of humor towards students got very old, very fast. He knows Math, but fails to teach it. I would not recommend this professor to my worst enemy. Do NOT take him, please.
very helpful..
I took Mr. Maurer before I took College Algebra and he completely eased all my fears of math! He was very easy to understand and a great teacher if you need a refresher course! All the work is laid out for you and he can't possibly make it any easier. Just do you work and you'll be okay!
He's a HORRIBLE teacher! Gives waaaaaay to much home work, and his lectures are awful. Very dull and boring. DO NOT TAKE HIM!
This guy is an ASS. He looks like Barts Principal Skinner. He thinks everyone is stupid. You can tell he thinks that he's Gods gift to Math. I'm taking his class now and if I drop it I will not get any money back. If you sign up for this class make sure you drop. Run like hell when you see his name come up.
I was worried to take him becuase of his reviews but he was a great teacher i had no complaints and very helpful:)I also love how all the homework is do all at the same time at the end of the semester.
GREEEAT TEACHER.
Wosrt Professor ever! Only cares about himself not the students
He is very strict on attendance.People might think he is rude but overall he is a really nice guy.Just respect him and you'll be respected.You can turn in homework at the end of semester. And you don't have to purchase Mathlab. He goes through every problem step by step to help you learn it.The only thing is that I hated was coming up to the board.
He is awesome. He will make sure you know the material before he moves on. Also explains in a way that you can actually understand
Honestly im ok with him except being called out like evryday to come to the board. he teaches good butt look if your looking for an easy teacher he's not one of them he expects you to be in class everyday and work hard! Being his student is no joke! so if you prefer nicer and easier teacher pleas keep looking dont bother messing up ur grade.
He was very helpful and just a great professor in general. I plan on taking him again.
Remember your Squares and Cubes, your formulas like Y-Intercept, Slope, etc. He likes having you do problems on the Chalkboard and he likes to talk about his PetHelp club...he gives a bonus point for not missing too many class days. (like 2 or less)...GOOD LUCK!
great great greeat! i had him for 0306 and im taking him for 0308 right now he's very helpful and gives tons of extra cred. just pay attention and try to learn and you'll pass! do the my math lab (crazy bonus points towards your average however its not required) i suck at math and i passed with a 97!
I have always struggled in math and for the first time, I am actually walking away confident with the material. He does require a formula chart every class but it is extremely helpful. Since its due each class, you memorize the chart-which only helps you! I have a 102 average & this is coming from someone who made F's & D's in math! HE IS AWESOME!
Mr. Maurer is an excellent teacher. I took him for mini-mester, and I must say, it is A LOT of work. However, he makes it very easy to understand, and he will go over, and over the problems until everyone gets it. He gives you hw and test prep. packets that cover every chapter. The questions on the exams are similar to those in the test prep.
Extremly helpful, and clear. Follow his rules in class though(ie. no phones/internet shopping. I've had trouble with math ever since 3rd grade, and he taught it to me in a new light. Do the class work, homework, and test reviews(which sounds like a lot, but is easy), and youll pass easily!!
Awesome teaching style. Great way of explaining math.
Mr. Maurer is absolutely awesome. We're at the end of the course now and loved every minute of his class. He is very persistant, helpful, and honest. Pay attention, be respectful, follow rules and you'll be good
he explains really good, you just need to pay attention and attend class, i recommend him
Mr. Maurer is the best MATH teacher ever. I am not really math savvy, but he really helps, makes sure EVERYONE understands. MUSTS: No cell phones, or laptops, or CALCULATORS. You will not use your calculator until the end of the semester. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS. It is HARD to FAIL this class!
He is a great teacher I would reccommend him to anyone not that great in math. I graduated high school ten years ago with a D in math I passed his class with a A. That should show you how good he is as a teacher.
Mr. Maurer is one of those teacher who is interested in your well being. He makes sure you're doing well in all your classes and does everything so you can be successful. Few teachers do that. His class is simple but you do have to pay attention. Don't ever doubt taking him :)
Mr Maurer is a very good teacher. He is helpful and doesn't make anyone feel dumb about asking questions. Do your daily reviews and practice tests and show up for class and there isn't any reason that you won't pass.
its an easy class, he does a good job on explaining but he is so harsh on grading.His extra credit is 1 point. He give so much work and yet so stingy on scores. If ur a math nerd take him, if ur not take someone else.
I took the minimester and it was a lot of work. But, I made an A. I am not that great at algebra but with a tutor I made it through. I recommend his class.
He is a really great teacher! He teaches each section very well, and stops to make sure everyone is on page. No hw. It's on you if you do your chapter reviews. Just study and pay attention and you should be able to make a good grade.
Amazing professor, remarkable human being, easy grader, and very very kind! He will make sure that you know the material and will see that you succeed if you give him respect, do your work and show up for class. For the first time in my life I became good at math and have completed up to Calculus with all A's because of this great man!
Amazing teacher, always made sure everyone understood the material. Lots of extra credit, just show, do your daily reviews and pay attention in class. hard to fail
He is awesome all I can say, he is willing to go over and over until you catch the concept he is the teacher that you do not come across often he is very unique and is very understanding to circumstances and makes his curriculum interesting so easier to understand. He is awesome a must take if you have to.
Mr.Maurer, is a really nice man. Will go out of his way to help you so you can understand.Just don't forget your daily review so that you don't loose bonus points and marker. He gives you chances for extra credit take him for all math classes if possible his the Best!!
Mr. M is a very good teacher, he is patient and will help you in any way that he can!
he was okay..not an easy class if students arent cocky trying to answer ever question. He is very help full gives TONS of extra credit. He has theses daily reviews that are a must of you get points taken away. you do not need a math book. Hes a good professor just wish some of the students would shu up when another student does not understand,
Mr. David is a really good teacher. He is strict about phones and attendance. If you miss a day you cant make up anything but all in all hes really nice and makes everything clear & hes fun to talk to. I recommend him
Mr. Maurer is very helpful. Do not be absent more than 2 times or he wont drop your lowest test score. Do the math lab that will boost your grade by 25 to 30 points.
was a good teacher, but he lacks very much so in character. He does not like being defied very strict on grading, really surprised by the good ratings. personally don't recommend him. he is a perv.if the class is rowdy he just goes the material not much explaining. set aside his bad character he was a good teacher. personally wouldnt take him again
Great teacher. Explains things multiple ways. Breaks it down so it's very easy to understand. Would definitely pick him again if I could. Little strict but it should be that way.
very good teacher, patient and explains well, strict but its needed.
You need to take this professor. He is very patient, the class will end early than the time is given and he will always stay until the remainder time to help you one on one with any problems you may not understand. He does not give any homework but highly encourage you to use the math lab for extra credit to use on your average. Trust me it helps.
Mr. Maurer is by far one of two best math instructors I have had. He is really good at teaching and will do all his best to ensure one learns. His way of teaching actually makes you learn. he has daily reviews which help learn the basics of math. If you attend every class and pay are a focused you will learn. Also he is very kind and understanding.
One of the best professor I have had. His way of teaching is very clear and he gives all the basics of the problem so you can easly keep up. Homework is optional and his reviews are exactly as the test. Great teacher easy A
I'm actually surprised by the good reviews he has. I've never been good at math & I'm still not. He is a tough grader, he'll take off for the smallest thing. He also doesn't give homework, which I thought was great in the beginning but come to find out it's not because you have no practice. With his grading, tests will kill you. He's also boring.
He's not an easy nor a hard professor. He does make you work for your grade. Hes lectures are long because at the end of the lecture he talks about other things in the class and expects you to stay and listen to him. Hes cool and all but very boring.
Mr. Maurer gets often the "you are the best math teacher I've ever had, I never understood anyone else." In my opinion this is true for sure. Don't skip class because there's a lot of content you don't want to miss on. If you struggle with math, take him.
If your not good at math you need to take Mr. Maurer. I thought I would never get to Algebra but his teaching method just works. Goes over basically every problem on reviews that are exactly like test. Doesnt give homework so you actually have time to study review and work on hard problems on your own to prepare for test. Drops lowest test grade.
He is very boring and a hard grader. I would not recommend.
He is a tough grader.i wouldn't recommend him to anyone .
He teaches well, step by step. But, he takes too long and ends up taking the first hour talking about nonsense. You cannot use your cellphone in his class of have it on your desk. If so, you will be written up in his binder and he will deduct points from your grade.
He is a nice person. He always make sure that you understand and answer your questions. One thing that you should not do in his class is playing with your cell phone. He takes it seriously. All homework and extra credit are online.
An excellent professor when it comes to breaking a certain problem down to get the student to understand the problem and how to solve the problem correctly and efficiently. A very nice guy, can be boring at times, but it is math so yeah. Do not have your cell phone out you will get called out for it! Highly recommend him though!
He is a wonderful professor if you just come to class and pay attention then you will sure to pass the class. I love his style of teaching and he allows students to participate which makes the class more fun I would recommend him to any one.
He is so good i'll defiantly recommend this professor to all. He never let you do makeups but he will give you allot of extra credit. He helps everyone.
A really great professor. I personally have lots of trouble with math but Mr. Maurer elaborates on material very well and makes sure no one gets left behind. Tests are exactly like the review which helped out tons! He sometimes asks students to work problems out on the board but it's helpful. Overall was very satisfied in this class
He's a good teacher however he makes you get up so if shy not recommended
GREAT TEACHER!
Professor Maurer is really good at what he does. If you are having a difficult time in math i would recommend taking him, im not the type to go online and write a review but i really feel that i need to get the word out that people who are having a hard time passing math really need to consider taking him. His tests are exactly like the review.
LOVE LOVE LOVE him. Mr Maurer is one of the best teacher i have. He knows his material and go step by step to teach you. I read some bad reviews about bout him and I can say that there are false. Homework and extra credits are done online. There are exam reviews before each tests and there are pretty similar. I would highly recommend
HORRIBLE! If you aren't a math person I don't recommend him at all he is terrible! His explanations are not very clear and he moves on without going into depth of the ways to solve etc.
He is a great teacher, he full explains his lectures. He doesn't move on if the whole class isn't ready. He also does tutoring in the tutoring center if you need extra help. It is impossible to fail his class. Just show up, be prepared and attentive. He gives practice test that reviews everything and he goes over every question which help on tst
He is a great teacher. At the first day of class I thought he was strict, but it is needed sometimes. No cell phone in class! Practice tests every chapter. Homework due at the day of the test. He is very patient. He wants to make sure that you understand everything he said before moving on the new section. If you are not good at math, then TAKE HIM
Such a good professor, Im the worst in math and I passed his class easily. Practice test are the same as the test, if you study the practice test, you will pass the class at least with B
I LOVE this prof. He is such a caring person on top of an amazing teacher! He really makes sure each person understands. GO TO CLASS! It will help tremendously! Only thing that some people may not like is that he has a NO PHONE policy! I wish he taught all maths at Lone Star! I would take him every course.
A little strict when you are not ready when class begins he will ask you to step out until you are finished getting what you need. If you miss class you can go to any of his other class times. Test are exactly like the reviews. He will go through each problem on the review and will not move on until everyone gets it.
Decent teacher but wouldnt take him again. He goes fairly fast. Offers a bunch of extra credit.
Professor Maurer is caring about his students and whether they pass his class or not. His class is pretty simple as long as you study for the tests.
I wish I could take him for every math class. The way he explains math is wonderful!!!! I actually understand it!!! You can tell he really wants you to get it! He is patient. But not for nonsense-no phones out. Be prepared to go up to the board and be called on. Tests are like reviews. So if you practice youll pass. No math lab!!! I love that!
TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH MATH!!! He is so patient and really explains everything well. If you ask He will kindly go over and over it until you get it! He is strict and expects you to listen!!! But its because he wants you to learn!!! everyone at one point will go up to the board. I wish I could take him again! NO need to buy mathlab.:)
If you suck at math, take him. I took him for a summer course and was impressed. No homework ever, MML is optional for extra credit, no book. You don't need to buy a calculator though it helps. He has a strict no phone policy. The reviews are exactly like the test. Definitely take him if you struggle.
I took him twice, one for math 0308 and then math 0310. HE WAS GREAT PROFESSOR!!!! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
think about it very good before taking him hes nothing like you ever had he doesnt give out homework or online stuff but he also sucks at teaching he seems he hates his job and is very antiquated. He moves on too fast and doesnt care he is very prejudice and assumes alot tough grader and isnt very helpful you learn on your own get ready

I took Professor Maurer for Math 0308. I really enjoyed his class! he focuses his teaching style around class participation. Show up to class and the exams will not surprise you.
Great teacher
Professor Mauer was the best math professor I have ever had. He teaches you more than one way to solve a math problem, gives reviews to study a couple days before the exam and hes always there to answer all questions you may have. He loves what he does and it shows in the way he teaches his classroom. I would definitely recommend him.
took him for fall semester an was a big mistake. in class its just him talking and him picking kids to go up to the board which i hated since im already bad in math to begin with so going up to the board was just embarassing. his quizes in class are easy but the test are much harder and one little mistake he counts the whole answer wrong nd no help
Fast pace, refresher type course, and tends to review problems once and moves on. This is not a good class for those that are returning to school and have a hard time with math.
Mr. Maurer is very stern you will not pass if you dont show up and put forth effort. The way he teaches math makes you like math if you ever thought you suck at math. He is one of a kind. I will take all my math classes with him if I could.
Great professor. Takes time to talk to you on on one if necessary. Test are clear and the reviews are perfect
I had him as my first math teacher here and i would really take his class if i could but hes really nice and he tells u to practice practice practice because hes not wrong you only get better and better , take his class he is the most bestt math teacher i know it almost feels like your in elemantary asking for help when u have a problem with work
Honestly you have to try to fail this class. He's really cool and understanding when he explains things he doesn't move on until he knows everyone in the class understands.10/10
He expects you do your work. Don't come to class trying to play around. Focus take notes. I'm not a math person but doing the short homework, creating groups and putting in an effort will help you get through it. He's an older guy but that doesn't mean that he is mean and inflexible.
I ended up dropping his class halfway through the semester because it was just to hard for me. He goes way to fast and is honestly very rude to students. Makes you feel belittled. If you have social anxiety dont take his class. I wish I would of read some of the comments before taking his class. Wasted a whole semester.
Awesome and caring professor, drops lowest test grade if you have good attendance, keep your phones put away, explains things differently so everyone gets it. doesn't move on until everyone gets it. participation is a must. No homework, study on your time, no text books required, goes off practice tests
Professor Maurer moves along quickly, so if you aren't paying attention you could miss something important; however, he gives you tips and tricks to solve faster and drops your lowest lab score if attendance is good. Overall, very thorough and makes sure everyone understands before moving on and is a very appreciable professor.
This professor is the kindest professor at LSC. He wants you to learn and will help in any way he can. I was accepted into some of the best engineering schools because he helped me build the proper math foundation. TAKE HIM! Pay attention, do your homework, and study. That is what you are there to do!
The best math professor ever! he explains everything well and if you have questions you can stay after class and he will re explain everything to you. The class is very easy as long as you pay attention and show up you will pass!
He was the best math professor. He is really kind and cares about his students. He teaches kind of fast but if you pay attention, you will understand it. He drops the lowest grade if you don't miss a class. He gives out plenty of review guides to help you pass his exams.
Great Professor for the first time in my life I had a good understanding of Math, he gives extra credit for completing reviews. The reviews are exactly like the test, so if you do the review you will do good! We didn't need the textbooks at all. Be sure to be on time and don't miss class.
Easiest class ever! Great teacher.
I took 0308 for the summer. His explanations were clear. If you don't understand any of the problems he is going over, please ask as much as possible because he will explain it. Sometimes classes will finish early, but he stays for all the students who want to work on the extra credits or study guides. Pay attention and do the xtra credits.
This professor was by far one of my favorite math teachers as a college freshman. He goes over any misunderstandings that the class may have. I highly recommend him as a freshman math class or any classes.
He is willing to answer any questions you have over the material, however if you don't put effort he is not going to work with you. Make sure to attend all the classes so you won't get behind on anything. They are tests every 2 weeks ,so do your best on those.
Very good at explaining. Only thing required is a graphing calculator + dry erase marker. Might make you do a problem on board, but he'll help you if you can't do it. The only grades are tests + labs. He gives 2-3 practice tests per chapt
Mr Maurer, was a very great professor online. He responded to emails quickly, he allowed me an extension after a terrible circumstance, and sent a email for the next test deadlines. You could complete majority of the work in a few days. There are no constant emails or reminders. Would recommend
