He's pretty good teacher but...A lot of homeworks...TT.. and the exam was so hard. The average grade of our class was 60/100..

Same guy as Andy Geary. Math is a lot of work, he can't help that despite being a great teacher. He is fair, I've got an A and B in his classes. There is lots of HW but it is easy points. He drops your lowest test score, and lowest 2 HW/quiz. Main negative is his tests can be hard and focus on the hardest material and leave off the easy stuff.

He gives SO MUCH HOMEWORK! He is great at teaching, but it was just too much homework. There are a lot of word problems, so if you don't like word problems then I would advise you to not take this. You get quizzes every time the homework is due, 3 exams, & then the final. The exams are okay. The first one is pretty tough, but it gets better after.

THANK YOU GOD, I could never ask for a better instructor other than Geary. He is the best ever. I mean, free points, extra credit, he is available,we understood, we got A's. I don't see the reason why you should fail a class where you are allowed to do corrections on exams, and get half of what you failed back. unless u're dumb for real. am in agai

very very recommended.

Im taking Math 134 (Calculus for social scientists), and I'm doing just great. You do need to make an effort to get a good grade and yeah you will get a lot of hw. However, he is a good teacher, he knows his stuff. Wouldn't recommend him if you struggle with math tho.

Professor Geary was excellent. Calculus is absolutely awful but he does his best to help his students. The ratings on this our coming from people that dont want to do the work or are just too dumb for calc anyway considering it came from people not even in MTH 100. Tons of extra credit quizzes and tests are fair, and you can make up bad test grades

Professor Geary is the best professor at Harper. If you like math I would highly recommend him.

AWESOME TEACHER! He knows his stuff very well, and does a great job explaining things. The only downside is that the homework does not have much similarity to what we learn in class. He drops 2 quizzes and tests, and the final will replace the worst test grade. I recommend him for sure!

I took the 6 week fast paced 103 course. If you don't have the general foundations for Algebra, do not take this course. 25-30 hours a week of your time is mandatory. I was also taking 3 other classes and working and somehow managed to get out with a B, but I worked for it. Need I say it was hell? When Geary says 25-30 hours a week, he means it.

Prof. Geary teaches in a very clear and concise way, the methods and level of difficulty that he teaches in class are comparable to what can be expected on exams and quizzes. Homework is tedious, but also necessary - it isn't unreasonable. He always seemed happy to help anybody who showed enthusiasm and effort. He will prepare you well for Calc etc

Geary is my one and only math teacher I had so far. He's not much of a joker, and as mean as he seems, he is truly sincere. He's the type of person you need to get to know in order for him to feel comfortable acting goofy around you. He doesn't want to fail you, but if you don't work for what you deserve he is not going to pass you.

Pretty helpful but not a fun class. There is tons of homework and lots to remember. It was only college alg, so it wasn't that hard.

Very good teacher. Took him for calc 1 during the summer. First time I ever enjoyed math thanks to him.

Teaches only the basic. Assign tons of homework that don't really prepare you for quizzes.

He is a great math professor. He does give homework due only every two weeks but it truly does help with taking the tests and the final. He is a very thorough teacher and a very nice person. I highly recommend him to any future math students.

The class is fair. It's not hard because he is a phenomenal teacher. His lectures are colorful and easy to understand, which makes the homework manageable (he does collect and grade every week). Tests, again, are fair. If you paid attention and did the homework, you're going to do just fine. Just be wary of the time limit for the tests.

He's incredibly helpful. His class is NOT easy, so don't take it if you're not big on lots of homework. Homework is 20% of the grade. My entire stack of homework over the last semester from his class alone is as thick as a textbook. His tests are easier than the homework, so if you do the homework thoroughly, you're guaranteed a good grade! :)

Clear, on point, and by the book. He explains things very thoroughly and encourages being questioned. Simple analogies for a generally tough topic. Doesn't get sidetracked (rarely like once in the semester). Clearly tells you what you need to know on a test. Writes notes on projector and posts them online. Need book only for homework(in library)

Outlines expectations very clearly in the beginning of the semester. Calc is tough, especially if you plan on learning the material from the book (like I do for most classes myself) but he really dumbs the material down in his lectures so it's easy to understand. Even though he posts notes online, you won't understand them if you don't attend class

I took his online class over the summer, it was really, really tough. I'm horrible at math, so a lecture class would've probably been better suited for me. Regardless, Professor Geary was very approachable and helpful when you e-mail him for help. If you suck at math, don't take his class over the summer, the amount of material is intense.

took his online course, he's very prompt to answer questions and a nice guy but has a hard exterior shell. wants everyone to be successful and gives extra credit opportunities

Calc is tough, but prof geary made it a lot less intimidating. hw due every week, but that's to be expected w a math class. Do all your homework, doesn't really take long and it prepares you well for the tests. Geary is a nice guy, seems a little unapproachable at first but really wants all his students to succeed. highly recommend!

very helpful- there for office hours, takes and explains questions well, lectures weren't bad (example problems and concepts were explained well), grading was understandable, one of the best calculus teachers, some tests were tough but that was ok- he always answered questions and made sure the student understood the material. Thank you!

yeah he is really nice, i definitely do recommend him, he goes really easy on grading, definitely has a clear grading criteria, i just got an A in calc 2 class, hmmmm, well take him, well for the tests he will drop one lowest, and for the homework he will drop 2. Book not required in class, but required for homework. Great Professor.

Taking this class currently over the summer, lots of homework but then again its only 8 weeks. The professor is nice and wants you to understand how to do these problems rather than just getting the answer correct.

One of the best professors/teachers I have ever had. Very detailed in his explanations. A+professor

I took Prof. Geary my freshman year for math 103. I was hesitant to start due to the reviews he has but he actually is a really great teacher. There is for sure lots of homework to be done but it helps a lot for the test. He is open for questions which is great. Not bad at all. If you do the work and go to class you should be fine! Good luck.

Professor Geary is exactly what I hope for in a teacher. He takes the time to explain concepts as best he can in addition to encouraging questions every step of the way. He is very nice and professional. There is a lot of homework but I think that would happen in any math class and it really helps for understanding the material. Highly recommend!

I took Professor Geary for MTH 124. He is honestly such an amazing professor. He is always there for you if you have any questions. He gives a decent amount of homework, which is to be expected for a math class. Make sure to always go to class and do the homework for easy points!! Great professor!!!

He's a pretty good teacher. There is a lot of homework, but it helps you in the long run. He lectures well and tries to make sure everyone understands what he is trying to convey.

I took Prof. Geary, WEB Summer course, MTH 103. I was hesitant to start because an online summer course, but it actually is really good. There is lots of homework, and it takes app. 20 hours per week to be done, but it helps a lot for understanding the materials and good performing on the test. He is open for questions and always answers emails.

Answers all questions. Good teacher. Normal math class.

I needed a lower level math class to complete credits so I took this online class. I've taken AP math level already, so this class was very easy for me. However, its aloooot of online work and if you're not already good at math it may be hard to understand online. But again, I loved taking it online. Depends on what type of student you are.

Business Calc is a hard class no matter what teacher. Geary was an alright teacher, the notes laid out everything you needed to know, except sometimes there would be questions that we didn't take notes on, but if you email him he'll explain it. The tests were similar to the homework but had some tough surprises that I didn't appreciate.

So there is a lot of homework, but it's easy to keep up with if you do it a day or two after he's given the notes for the chapter. The homework is what got me through the class. His lectures are very interactive and steady. He creates the test to appropriately fit within the time frame given. Gives lots of extra credit. Definitely would take again.

He's a great professor. He doesn't mind explaining things again if you need extra help. The homework was a lot harder than the tests, but that's better than the other way around. Would definitely take his class again.

Awesome! There's a ton of homework but he's amazing.

Geary is a great professor. I took him for 2 other classes (MTH103 & MTH 124). He does assign a lot of homework majority of the time, but it really helps with the unit exams (which were extremely similar to the homework and/or class notes). He is very organized and uploads all the notes on Blackboard. He is always there to answer any questions.

This math teacher is amazing! Tests are every other Friday i know it sounds bad but its actually amazing. When in calc 2 having multiple sections on a test is very tough and he has only 3 sections per test making it less stressful. Lots of homework so get ready to work. Best math teacher.

Honestly, i was super lazy. Easy a if you do the homework and take notes. Ask him for questions. You will actually learn a ton. Best of both worlds. If you are lazy, late etc. you will hear it from him.

Prof. Geary gave great lectures, and would always answer your questions with clear explanations. However, he gave a lot of homework--one assignment usually took me one to four hours, and we had two or three each week. This was a very good practice and a large chunk of your grade, but was often overwhelming. You should get an A if you do the work.

Professor Geary is a great professor! He's really good at teaching the material. Gives a lot of partial credit on exams, so it's not wrong or right. You still get points for attempting a problem. A lot of homework from the book. Always odds book problems. He's very nice. Be on time to class. He is picky with that. He is always ready to help.

He's always there for you if you have any questions. He is clear and straight forward, so you exactly know what'll affect your grade. There was a good amount of homework he assigned every day, which should be expected for a math class; though, he would only assign the odd-numbered questions from the book. Good instructor and good lectures!

Professor Geary is awesome if you actually pay attention to class. He will answer any question and won't continue the class if somebody doesn't understand. It is hard and it will require many hours doing homework and doing research at home to finish homework. But if you do it you will pass this class easy without even studying the day before.

If you take good notes in class and study for the tests, you will have no problem passing this class. His explanations are straightforward and the notes are very similar to the tests. Notes are always posted online after class. Homework took about 2 hours to complete, but due a week after the lesson.

Yes, there was a lot of homework, but if you did it yourself, there was no need to study for the tests. That said, some of the homework was just busy work, with too many examples for the easier chapters. He is amazing at lectures and explains things very well. He keeps asking if anyone have questions, so if you didn't ask that's on you.

Professor Geary is a good professor that I would highly recommend. I was surprised to see all these reviews claiming he doesn't help students or answer questions because he would literally have full days of class dedicated to answering questions and helping students with stuff they don't understand.

Online is all self-directed. Do the homework and learn the material and you'll be fine in his class! If taking online he will have random (but mandatory) teleconferences where you might have to explain your work after tests. He responds quickly to emails and was very quick to help me and has a lot of time for those who are really trying to learn!
