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.

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 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).

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 :(

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
