Professor Mess is simply a great teacher. He definatly takes an interest in how well his students are doing in class. He is a posative person who never makes you feel your questions are stupid. He will go over everything you need to know in order to do well on his quizzes and tests. Do the homework to learn but you don't have to hand it in.

Prof Mess is an excellent teacher. Absolutly helpful to everyone. I could have done better in the class (no fault of his), but he was there every step of the way when I needed help. Alowed me to make up a test I missed *after* the final. I think he just wants us to learn the material any way we could. Thanks professor for seeing the BIG picture!

He has a real talent for teaching, connecting well with students and always willing to help. Also, he's a very down to Earth guy and pleasant to talk to.

He is the best math teacher! I'm upset b/c I cant get him this fall. He is like a very smart college kid! He is very laid back. The tests are easy (as easy as a math test can get). He let me make up tests after I took the final so that I could pass. He is very helpful. A couple times he stayed up to 45 min after class answering questions.

Take him if you want a better time in math!

I was scared to take an online math course because it isn't my strongest subject but he made learning super easy with the videos he provides. The 15 week online course doesn't have homework due every week, instead a big mylabmath homework once a month. It helps with focusing on the modules for the week. Definitely recommend him!

Professor messenger is the best math teacher! His lectures are clear, hardly ever boring, and the homework is the perfect amount to understand but not get burnt out. He is aware of who is struggling in his class and constantly makes sure everyone understands. Quick to grade and return emails and he makes you feel welcomed. 100% would take again!

Professor messenger is amazing. I took his online college algebra course. I was so nervous because Im so bad at math but if you utilize his resources like his lectures and worksheets youll do fine. He also answers e mails very quickly if you are stuck on a problem. I was able to send pics of my work and he could tell me exactly what I did wrong.

ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS IVE EVER HAD, I RECOMMEND HIM. I was doing so bad in the beginning of his class and I sent him an email, he was kind enough to schedule a zoom meeting (one on one) we spent two hours going over homework and quiz questions I struggled with; I ended up getting a B on the test. All in all I totally advise you to take the class

As someone with ADHD, Mr. Messenger is the best professor I have ever had. He pays so much attention to everyone's success and is so kind and patient, and he structures his lessons around the most strange and difficult problems, and walks you every step of the way through so that you'll have an even easier time with the easy ones.
