Nice guy. Good at "teaching by example". Good class if trying to meet a math requirement! Not the best class if majoring in a science and need to take lots of math later! He lectures on what you need to pass the tests and final exam; but doesn't focus on creating a solid foundation for higher level math classes. But you'll still learn a lot!
I don't know what the last person was talking about as far as teaching to the test. He focuses on what is important for us to learn, both for tests and for the future. Talks about math careers a lot which I like. Very funny, which is hard to be in a math class. I didn't like math very much, but I love this class.
He's a nice guy, but he's a little boring. He has a very dry sense of humor, but he can be genuinely hillarious at times.
Real nice and real funny, but can be a bit boring at times. He kinda reminds youu of Owen Wilson (you will see what I mean if you ever have him). I enjoyed his class and I recommend him.
good teacher. super hot haha made learning fun and the tests were pretty much spoon fed to the class. I definitely recommend taking one of the classes that he teaches.
His notes were complicated and unclear, I had to relearn the material with a tutor in the MLC after every class. I feel unprepared to move on to the next course.
Great teacher! I liked him so much I had him 3X for the same course, but that was my own fault! Recomend, very good sense of humor.
Hes the best math teacher I have ever had!! he makes everything very clear, and will practically give you a good grade, if you do your part!!! Very nice and funny guy!!! I would take every math class with him if I could!!
this class is very easy if you pay attention. the homework is optional, math test every week or 2 weeks. he is very clear and too the point and accepts any questions you have. oh yea and hes cute..
Really nice guy, very easy class
great teacher. makes learning easy. optional hw, open note quizzes, tests easy. dont have to take exam if you have an A.
This guy is the greatest. He's clear, helpful and makes sure that you know the material. He even kind of gets to be more your friend than a teacher.
Easy to talk to, fun classes, easy going, very helpful, funny, and cute as a button.
Mr. Cater is great. Awesome sense of humor and effective ways of teaching so that no one is left behind. If you need extra help (which you probably won't), he'll always stay after class and work it out with you. I'd reccomend him very highly if you are interested in taking math here.
He is so nice, deff makes class fun. Just a nice way to start out my day.
He is a really helpful teacher.
I love him i love him i loooooove him.
I love this teacher! I have him for 098, and I cant wait to take 150 with him. He's very helpful and always there for his students. He makes the funniest jokes and isnt afraid to tell us some stories from his past, that will just get us enjoying class. And ladies hes not bad at all on the eyes..prolly why i am doing so well.
Awesome teacher! Great sense of humor, very helpful, and I think everyone can agree he is prolly one of the cutest teachers they have had at MCC! =) Notes are very clear, optional hw, open note quizzes and tests are not hard at all. There was no final exam and your lowest test grade is dropped! GREAT CLASS! Highly recomemd him!!!
He's great!! I actually like coming to class because he's so funny. He genuinely cares about how his students do i his class. If You need any help he's willing to stay after class with you. And he is really hot!!!
Wow! He is so much fun, I hate math but I love going to his class. He makes it so understandable and easy. Plus he's reallllly cute!
best math teacher i've ever had. if you're not that great at math. take a class with him. he's very helpful.
If i could, i would marry him. Definitely one of the best teachers i ever had. Everything is very easy to comprehend and he is extremely helpful. I love his personality the most.
He's a wonderful teacher. He makes everything clear. Also goes through problems step by step. There's no reason why anyone should fail his class.(I did though). But guess what I decided I'm going to retake it because he is the best teacher I had this semester (this was my first semester).
He is a great teacher i hated math all my life. i have had him every semester and he has made math fun and so much easier by the way he explains it. he will also sit there with you forever just to make sure you understand. great teacher i suggest if you hate math... take his class and it will be so much easier.
Mr. Cater is a wonderful teacher who obviously loves his job. He is funny, patient and makes math easy. Anyone who previously struggled with math or hated it should take his class.
Cater is the bomb! He is one of the great math instructor. Really helpful when needed. I will recommend him to everybody. There is only one minitab project and one extra credit minitab extra credit to boost your grade up. Other then that tests are straight forward.
Great teacher.
I have never, ever, understood math as clearly as I did with Professor Cater. He is the nicest guy in the world and will go out of his way to help you if you need it. Very genuine. If you do all of the homework and pay attention, I don't see how anyone would fail this class. Definitely an amazing teacher, especially if math is not your strong suit.
Professor Cater is extremely helpful and laidback in his teaching style. It would be hard not to get along with him
best teacher ever, don is easy to understand, very likeable, test are based on class work and homework,
he always started class by talking and joking with his students, and made it an easy going environment to learn math. not only was he fun but he made sure everyone in the room understood the material, if they didn't he was flexible meeting after class or before for any questions. one of the best teachers at MCC.
I like math classes, but he made math fun for math haters. Homework is optional, but obviously doing the homework will give you a better understanding of the material. Gives 5 extra points on exams if you get an 80 or above on a 10 question quiz on course compass. You can take the course compass quiz as many times as you need which is really nice.
I loved him. He was amazing!!! I really enjoyed being in your class.
really good prof..easy going, and his grading is relaxed..not uptight about anything...i advise taking the clas over summer if you can...tends to be a bit easier!
He is a grate tecacher, his notes very helpfull and easy to understand. very nice sir. if you want to get A, take his class.
He lets you use note cards for tests. HW isn't graded and I never did it since I caught on so quick. Its real hard not to get a good grade since you can use a note card for tests. Take him!!
Professor Cater was sweet and honestly the best professor I have ever had. very helpful and approachable and I love him to death (as a teacher lol)
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!
Loving his class! explains everything in detal. Loves anyone who asks questions. Liked him so much I signed up for his class next semester!
Very easy going guy. Not strict on attendance or promptness. Easy class-only use book for homework (if you do it). For chapters with a lot of formulas he gave index card to use on test. Highly recommended.
lets you use index card for exams for formulas, helpful and great dimples!
Excellent professor! Explains everything in detail. Super easygoing and funny. Always look forward to his class. Also very, VERY attractive!
GREAT PROFESSOR! Very knowledgeable and very clear with explanations. EVERYONE should take this class with him. 100% recommended.
An amazing professor!! He's so helpful and made math easy for once! Easily the best professor at MCC, and he's super good looking!!!
He is the best professor i have had at MCC yet! He explains everything so well and is funny and nice. You wont regret taking his class! =)
Great teacher! explains everything in detail, allows notecards on tests. Final grade is based on 4 tests, the final, graded worksheets, and 1 minitab project. Hes pretty funny and easy going. SO CUTE!!! most of his tests have atleast one extra credit question as well.
awesome professor!!! cute and funny. very understanding! easy class if u attend and follow up with the notes.!!
I have always failed math when I have taken it before but, I decided to give it a try and he was amazing. He is very clear in explaining and his tests are easy as long as you do the practice problems from the book. He is really nice and has a good sense of humor in a nerdy kind of way. I am horrible at math and I got an A in his class! Thank You!!
Class is so clear and easy. If you take the notes and study before a test then there is no reason why it should be hard.
He is a really nice guy. This class is pretty easy. He makes everything very clear with alot of examples. I would def reccomend him.
I loved this man!! I wanted to marry him and i almost took stats 2 just to have a class again with him...Like the best teacher i've ever had
I got an A :)
He is a really sweet guy! He is such a dork, I just loved it. I am awful at math and I hate it but Professor Cater made it very easy and straight forward. He offers extra credit and note cards on tests so it is a very easy A if you put some time into it.
HE is great to get along with funny as hell. HOT as hell, and an overall great professor deff recommend taking him and for the females he is very easy to look at
awesome teacher, and so hot. This is my second class with him. Gives great notes, loves when students ask questions, great sense of humor. Gives graded assignments that can be kind of hard but if you can make it through them you are solid for the tests and they aren't worth a huge part of your overall grade. Tells you what will be on every test.
Just simply the best! :) Hes funny, tests are easy, you can use a flashcard with notes!
Very nice guy. Funny and loves teaching. Does not use mymathlab in MTH 104, which is either good or bad depending on preference. Overall a great teacher.
I had multiple math classes with Prof. Cater. He was so much enthusiastic and passionate about Math that he passed it on to his students. He was always interested and helpful to all of his students. He would stay after class to answer or explain a problem in addition to class time. He was understanding and also had a great sense of humor.
I've never met a math teacher that LOVED math so much! He's awesome and hilarious. Easy A if you do your hw/assigments!
Excellent Professor-"Stand And Deliver"Quality.I took Statistics with him. He made a very challenging course manageable and interesting with his teaching strategies.
AWESOME dude. So pumped to do math problems.. its hilarious. Cares about students learning and understanding more than about doing the work. verynice
Professor Cater is such a cutie 3.14.
Professor Cater is the best math teacher I've ever had.
so funny, he loves math so much. he gets all excited about a certain kind of problem. awesome teacher. easy A especially if you took precalc in high school
Gorgeous! And a great teacher. He really cares about his students, and is flexible to help you get a good grade. Lets you use note cards on the tests, so there's really no reason to do badly on them. Take him! Easy A
One of the best professors I have ever met. Loves math, has a great sense of humor, always ready to help and explain any questions, loves teaching and respects his students. Math may sound to someone boring; however, it is not about him and the way he is teaching. It is fun, and you will enjoy being in his class and studying the math. He is AWSOME!
I took math 104 3 times before and the highest grade I got was a D. I got a B- in his class and that was my fault not his, I just needed to study more. He makes math intresting and fun. If you need help he is there. Good teacher if you can take a class with him I would recommend him.
DC is the man. Very clear about what he expects out of you and for the most part, sticks to the course schedule. Tests are a cinch if you do the practice work. The last test of the semester is a take-home exam. Take him, very funny guy
1st off - this man is GORGEOUS!! lol I sat up front everyday and laughed at all of his jokes. But he is an AMAZING teacher. He always offers help, encourages asking questions, and there was never a time he explained something to me; and I didn't comprehend what he said. I strongly encourage doing the Suggested Problems. You wont regret it!
Cater is the man, he is extremely helpful and down to earth. It's nice to see a younger professor who is really good at his job.
I don't suggest taking this online unless you are good at math (which, the point of taking this is for a make-up course, so most of us probably aren't). The textbook problems are OK, but don't show all of the answers worked out. The lessons are next to impossible; companion videos don't match the problems we did. Itd be SO worth the trip to campus.
Took online. He was as helpful as a professor can be over the internet regarding math problems that are more helpful seen in person, but I didn't ask much. Difficult to take an online math class but it is doable if you are extremely dedicated. Focus throughout the semester, study the final exam review well, and it is possible to get an A!
He is seriously one of the best teachers at Monroe Community College. I have never met a better Math teacher than him!
Is it even possible to have a awesome math professor? This guy's outstanding. He gave us two take home exams and two exams in class, no homework, no quizes. Summer class and it's amazing. I wish I could have taken 104 with him and get to know him better because this summer is flying by. Take him, he's funny and helpful!!
I am currently finishing up math 104 with this professor. I feel that by me rating him now, without receiving a final grade, my opinion can be taken serious. Professor Cater is amazing and he truly allows you to study and learn independently. He opens all the homework and test. He divides sections evenly and gives you 6 weeks for each. Awesome!
I cannot express my hatred for math. He's really great with clarity. Shows you step by step process, gives you a lot of exs, & help if you ask. Not too many assignment or tests. Has a great sense of humor & gets excited about math/shows that he loves it. His face was carved by the gods = more motivation to attend class. My favorite math profressor.
Mr. Cater is an awesome teacher! He writes all the notes out on a white board, and gives plenty of time to get them down. He does not give assigned hw every class, and the tests are really easy. I DEFINATELY recommend him!!
seem like nice guy but he spent a lot of time talking about himself instead of going over material. If your fast pace you'll do fine if you need extra help I probably wouldnt take him. Also can be moody or irratable at times.
On top of being a great professor, he is SMOKING HOT! If that doesn't get you to pay attention, I don't know what will. He makes material very easy to understand, is fair on his grading and helps whenever you need.
Took Math 104 online with him! Great teacher, and the program was pretty easy to use too! :) He kept in communication with me and anytime you need him, you got a quick response back!! DEF A GREAT TEACHER!! :)
He would be a great professor if he would actually take the time out to help people that need it. I always emailed him and all he would say is go to the learnng center. I went to the center, but i still wanted help from himbecause he teach in a different way. I would not refer someone to him, but only if you was already exposed to stats.
He opens the entire course the first day of class! As an adult student with other things to do this was great. I was done with the course within a few weeks. There was only homework and a few tests. Final was in person
Don Cater is amazing! I hate math, but Cater made it easy and entertaining to learn it. On top of that he's adorable and totally down to earth. Take a class with him you won't regret it.
Lectures directly from book. Doesn't use any outside notes. AVOID IF POSSIBLE!
This is the first Math class where i've been beyond successful! Took this last semester and got a D+, this semester was a B+. He is a great help and I learned so well from him! Taking him again next semester. He does have a sarcastic part about him though, I think to try & lighten the mood. :)
Professor Cater clearly explains concepts, does several examples on the board and if you listen closely will tell you exactly what you should expect to see on the tests. Example problems are just like test questions, no surprises. I thought he was genuinely amusing, he tried to make it interesting. He is not at all unpleasant to look at.
HANDSOME.... very helpful
Professor Cater is unhelpful please try to avoid if you aren't a math wiz!!!!!
Run for the hills You will get no help from professor Cater. He expects you to know the material and will make you feel horrible if you don't!!
I loved his class, and math is NOT my subject. Copying his examples off the chalkboard makes doing the homework and understanding the material a breeze. He gives you all the information you could need to do well, it's just a matter of putting in the effort. He is a great professor.
Very funny and nice. He is very clear with notes.
Due the suggested problems, they will be essential to passing. Flexible office hours. There to help and kinder than the tutors in the tutoring lab.
Easy to learn
First off, he is very pleasant to look at. Secondly, he really LOVES math, therefore, he knows really well what he is talking about. He makes his lectures really easy to follow and is willing to answer questions.
Cater is a great explainer; he takes the time to make sure he is explaining everything in a way that everyone will understand. He always does a lot of examples on new concepts. That being said, if you're struggling with something, Cater is more than willing to help you figure it out. He really cares about his students. Not much homework, either.
He is a GREAT professor!! Very easy class, and you dont get that much homework. He explains topics very well, and has review days before tests so if you have any questions he'll be sure to answer them and clarify. Very good professor!!!
His passion for math is what interested me in learning it. He would get so excited when someone would ask a question related to the problem we were working on. He really loves math and will make the class more enjoyable ith his enthusiasm.
Professor Cater was amazing. I took him over the summer in Mth 104 after getting a D when I took Mth 104 online the previous semester. WELL WORTH IT. The homework/practice problems really helped, he's funny, and knows the material. Getting up early in the summer was not bad at all with him. and get this I ended up with a 100 on the final :)
I wish I could write a whole page on Professor Cater. By the end of MCC I will have taken him for 3 classes. From 104 to 165 it's like you never left one class. He picks up right where he left off and you can expect the same amazing teaching from him every time. When he get's excited about doing a problem it makes me excited. WONDERFUL!
Professor Cater does NOT set you up for failure. You can expect the tests to be easier than the homework and lists the types of questions that will be on the test during review. Make sure you do the graded assignments! They significantly affect your grade!
This man is an amazing teacher. He loves math and that helps. He really wants you to succeed. No question is a dumb question- he really makes you feel that way. His tests are EXACTLY like the homework he assigns. He makes sure each type of question is covered, so there are no surprises. Take him, you will NOT regret it. Wish he taught Precalc :(
Simply put - professor Cater is the best! His lectures are amazing, and he explains everything in a very straight forward manner. He has a great sense of humor and really cares about the students!
He's one of the best math professors at MCC. He cares about his students and you can tell he's very passionate in what he does. I took him for mth104 and yet again, he hasn't disappointed. His tests are clear and you have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I would HIGHLY recommend taking math with him!
I took MTH 104 flexible pace online with him and it was very well organized. I have never met him in person but I have spoken to him through email and he is always eager to help and very nice.
Math 165. Very easy going and realistic, only a few assignments. He makes the material very easy to learn. Also funny!
He was the best math professor I have ever had. He's a sweet, helpful guy and makes things simple. He teach right out of the book, so you will you need to buy the book. He's a bit goofy, but it adds to the atmosphere. Just do the practice problems and try and you can pass the class.
I wish I could take Professor Cater for every math course. I usually really struggle with math, but Cater teaches in a way that's really easy to understand. He's super funny, and even with my dislike of math, I found each class interesting enough to pay attention the entire time!
I took MTH 104 with Cater. Although there was not face to face interaction, when ever I emailed him a question he was always happy to help. As long as you do you work, the tests are easy and the class can be an easy A.
Very nice and straightforward professor. Bulk due dates. All homework is on MySTATLab with unlimited attempts, except for some easy data analysis reports and the final exam that must be taken on campus. Not necessary to memorize any formulas. If you can perform a hypothesis test by hand you are good.
Best math teacher. Took summer class and was sorry it ended so fast. He is smart, funny, young and understands that students have off vinous life
I was really incompetent with this class at the beginning, but the bulkiness of the coursework even though it was online, coupled with the leniency of this professor made me get back on track. I've never known math learning at one's own pace to be this effective. Great professor
Cater is a good professor, but he is a hard grader, he takes off too much unnecessary points, i think he expect us to think like him. We did a project, based on a survey we did, he took off so much points for one thing, and he didn't even give any feedback on it.
Cater's explanations are clear and concise, he makes sure you understand how to do everything and wants you to succeed, I just wish every prof at MCC was like him.
great teacher
Professor Cater is an amazing teacher. He really strives to teach the material in a way thats accessible for everyone no matter the level youre at personally. Work load is very manageable, quizzes are about 1 per unit, so 4 total. All in all, a very easy class to take as long as you show up and put effort in. Would take any class with him again
I have always been a horrible math student in high school, but this professor's lectures and assignments give such amazing step-by-step explanations for the questions and all questions on homework appear on test, no tricks. If you take the time to study a little, it's very easy to do great because of the the professor's lectures and assignments.
Class was not too difficult even though I suck at math entirely. Just make sure you do the assignments and understand. Simple. If there's a class in the future, I'd definitely choose him.
The MATH is boring and took a lot of time to master. This semester a final exam was imposed by the college. The online format makes him a little less accessible than in person. I didn't understand what he was saying half of the time but the zoom recording helps a lot.
Good class but its hard taking it online bc hes notes arent always clear and there are no lecture video of himself explaining his own notes that are posted either so u just gotta figure it out.
Makes this course harder than it needs to be. I had several friends taking the same course and I could do their assignments with ease. The only good thing about this prof. is that his homework assignments are short. He takes off petty points on exams if you do too well. Had to get to know him a bit more before he started grading me less harsh.
Professor Cater the best professors I've ever had at MCC. I LOVE the way he teaches, he gets straight to the point and his tests are perfect because it actually goes along with what you learn. Not too much homework either. He is so caring too and gave help when needed. B/c of him I actually love stats and its prob one of my favorite math classes.
I took this class over the summer and it was terrible. I'm not very good at math to begin with and this professor did not make it any easier. I didn't like the set-up of the class and it was not taught well. No extra credit available. And it didn't seem like the professor really cared about his students.
Makes class fun and throughly explains things. Very helpful when you don't understand something, and will stay after class to help you one on one!
This professor can be tough, but if you put in the work, the class is manageable. The assignments are straightforward, and going to office hours helps a lot. Consider using Unstuck ai - it's a great study aid alongside the textbook.
I wish that this class wasn't taught through Pearson, because I personally hated the Pearson videos. They did not help me at all. However, he was very considerate and willing to help me out when I was confused or behind. I wish I got to experience him in person, because he was wonderful online.
Great professor. The format remains the same each week, and tests consist of homework answers with changed numbers. He makes it very easy to review homework the next day to ensure everyone understands. Great professor.
