HONESTLY, HE IS ONE OF THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR AT BARUCH. HE KNOWS HOW TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE FINAL SINCE HE IS PART OF THE COMMITTEE. HE IS VERY LAID BACK.

This professor knows what he's talking about, but he spends half the class talking about his pet rabbit and then rushes all the more difficult information at the end of the term. If you take this professor, expect to be at the SACC center quite often.

Spends his time talking about his high school days and mumbles facing the board. He likes to rush through the material so you have to be quick in his class. There are better professors, dont pick him.

Prof Buckley, is very funny well his jokes are sometimes corny but he tries, he gives real life examples to try to make u understand the material, he goes all out, he'll go over the material to make u understand. I took it in the summer and with lots of help from sacc i was able to get B. He gives review sheets before the exam so all u have to do i

one of the best math teachers i have ever had! very explanatory and goes through every step and makes sure everyone is on the same page. also goes over any homework questions you have. 3 tests and a final, homework every night but he doesn't check it and webwork probably twice a week or so. makes calc very unintimidating

baruch has its share of BAD math professors, but he really isnt in that group, hes really good at explaining, the material is very hard though, and you must do the webworks + hw to do well, but he does his part very well in the classroom highly reccomend!

The subject not matter, is not easy, but I think he's rather clear. He also gives great notes. He's corny, but his anecdotes are relevant. Would take it again

He teaches, but at a very fast pace. Must have good notes & remember to write down the side notes that he mumbles to himself. Doesn't check HW, but Webwork is required. He's just too smart for students and teaches like everything is common sense, and practically teaches himself rather than students. 3 main tests and final.STUDY HARD if you have him

I will be taking his for calculus as well he is very sweet man and teaches to his best ability in order for you to understand...I hate math with a passion and always will but he makes it a little less intimidating.its better to have an easy going professor for extreme subjects like math. 3 exams and always gives sample exams for each

I actually think he's a pretty good teacher. He has three tests and the department final. He doesnt check homework but does make webwork mandatory and it's 7 percent of your grade. The first test is the toughest and then you get better. Good class.

This Professor is extremely boring. He speaks really low and can put you to sleep. I love calculus, and he killed it for me. He makes it more difficult than it actually is. He does not teach well.

Horrible, whenever you try to meet with himhe always claims he has to go one in Statem Island and feed his rabbit. Never available to answer questions, late with emails, and suspects everyone in his class is cheating. Does not prepare you for final either

It's probably best not to take him if you have better options. He's not bad, but he's far from good. He is the perfect description of a mediocre professor. Doesn't prepare you well for the final and barely prepares you for his exams. He cares more about getting the material done than actually teaching. He does not care, that much is clear.

Great math professor. Passionate about his lectures. He will make calculus relatively easy to understand. If it wasn't for the hard ass departmental final which I bombed I would've gotten an B+ or A- in his class.

Pretty okay professor and his exams are not hard, but you do have to study for them. He prepares you with a review sheet and he allows students to ask him questions on webwork, review sheet etc. He's a good man, but the final is soooooo hard and it's not his fault. He tries his best to help you whoever dislikes him are lazy.

He is a great professor. If you attend class and PAID ATTENTION, there is no way you will not understand and pass the class. He emphasizes the important points and teaches well. People can easily pass. He is very friendly which makes the class very relaxing.

The only reason I passed precalculus and calculus is because of the great professor buckley. He is truly one of the better math professors at Baruch and will help you succeed in one of the most competitive math departments in CUNY. Do his homework, test reviews religiously and you will pass. I am forever grateful to Prof. Buckley!

Hated this class. He could care less if you show up at all and it doesn't go into your grade so you're better off using that time to study on your own, he's a terrible teacher. Boring and a good amount of people don't do well by him. Not recommended. Grade is only 4 tests and a final and the webworks but still, no.

One of the best Math professor I have ever had. First of all, he is very funny. But most importantly, he teaches a hard subject, calculus, and makes it easy to understand (compared to other professors who make it way harder than it should be). The exams reviews are helpful with full details of the answers. He will answer questions and do exercises

i think he prepares you for the final pretty well. This class is tough, you really have to put in some work on the side in order to do well. I can say he doesnt make you do alot of "busy" or "extra" work, and lets you focus on the three tests and the final.

good professor. prepares you for the final well because his tests all resemble the final. webwork an easy boost to your grade. his tests are not hard if you do the webwork and sample final questions. its very important to attend class, he works out any webwork problem at the beginning for you. good professor. will get you past calculus.
