I had Cherveny for statistics at UW-L. This guy is super funny and makes math interesting! It is so obvious that he as a passion for math, which makes class enjoyable too. He even gives out packets for class so you don't take your own notes. And the tests are exactly like those packets. Just pay attention and do the homework and you will be fine!

George is an awesome guy who tries his best to keep you interested, while also going slow enough so you are not overwhelmed by the coursework. He prints out packets for you to follow along and take notes on. For the most part, the homework is all straight out of the packets. We did not use webwork at all. I highly recommend taking George!

He's happy to help you understand but the exams are difficult to adjust to. The hardest part is that he doesn't give partial points so if you miscalculate something in one of the first steps, the entire problem is then wrong, which can mean an automatic 20 points off.

I'm telling you now, do not take him. Your only grades are tests and quizzes. Makes so many mistakes in class but is completely unforgiving on tests. Expects you to be a genius on a subject after only one day of learning it. I've never hated math so much.

At the beginning of the semester I enjoyed Professor Cherveny, but as the semester went on, he became my least favorite. He takes off points on tests for "showing too much work" or writing down the original equation. Will not answer questions that he thinks are "too easy". Of course they are going to be easy for him, he went to school for this.

I enjoyed being in professor Cherveny's class. Your grade is based upon only quizzes and tests. He expects you to have a good grasp of the information being covered in class. Moves at a fast pace. As long as you do the homework and study, you'll be just fine.

Very good professor! Cares a lot about the subject he is teaching and about his students. One of the only professors that know all of his students in the class by name. Genuinely a great guy!

He expects you to understand the material at his level when it is your first time learning. He also doesn't explain questions when he thinks they are "too easy". Would not recommend unless you are good at learning material on your own.

Professor Cherveny was by far the best professor I have ever had. He truly wants his students to succeed and is happy to help if needed. He provides many examples in class and the exams are mirror images of the homework/quizzes. He is very well prepared each day. Overall, I highly recommend taking Math 150 with him as he was a phenomenal teacher.

Professor Cherveny was a great professor who truly cares about his student's success. I had great conversations about math, travels, and sports. There are weekly quizzes (10) and a test (4 total) that each cover about 2/3 quizzes. If you participate in class, do the homework, and study your quizzes, then the tests will be exactly what you studied.

Had Prof Cherveny for MTH 150 (got an A) and currently for MTH 151. Never been good at math but he is outstanding. Attendance required, a quiz or test every week. If you go to class and do the homework every night you be fine. If you only cram the night before a test/quiz would not recommend. He expects you to learn and use the material.

Heres the thing with Professor Cherveny, he is a great teacher and is very helpful during his office hours. I am someone who is not good at math so I didn't like his class at first. It took some getting used to his teaching style. If you struggle at math like me attend all the lectures and go into office hours and you will be fine.

For the most part is a good and fair professor. However, makes a LOT of mistakes while teaching and is very unforgiving on tests with mistakes. At the end of the semester he put problems on the tests and quizzes that none of the students knew how to do and neither did the tutors for a lot of points which was annoying.

Does NOT care about the students in his class. When you have questions he dismisses them because "they're too easy". After 2 absences it is a whole % off your grade for every absence after that. Expects you to know the topics and speeds through material.Assigns homework but only tests and quizzes count for your grade. Would not recommend to anyone.

Prof Cherveny is one of my favs. He rly cared about my grade. I struggled in the beginning of the sem but, I got an AB on the last 2 tests. He is an "old school" teacher and gives a lot of work sheets. Do the hw each night (abt 15-30 mins) and study HARD for the 4 tests and you will do good. He goes over questions in class. Very knowledgable prof.

George is the best math professor I've ever had. He goes over every topic thoroughly and provides a lot of examples. He also makes the problems very simple and easy to work out. He does assign homework everyday but it is not graded, but I recommend doing all of the assignments. The quizzes he assigns are mirror examples of problems on the exams.

I SUCK at math but George made it easy to pass. Before every quiz he would quite literally tell you everything on it or even what the first problems would be in exact. literally always told you what to study for the quiz. If you had an A you don't have to take the final. Just try a little and put time in studying and you'll pass.
