Does not realize that his old tests circulate the e-school.

He found out and changed all the test

Assigned problems completely worthless, even if you've taken the time to teach them to yourself. Uncaring and harsh regardless of effort put in. Exams not even close to the review guide. All in all a terrible teacher. Retaking it with another professor (A fresh TA) garnered a MUCH higher grade/confidence of subject matter.

He is a horrible professor. He does not teach very well. At times, it seems like he is talking to himself. Unless you have a good base in Calculus, I do not suggest taking this class.

HORRIBLE TEACHER!! Run while you can. He lectures straight to the projector and nobody in the class understands him. The average day we do maybe 2 example problems, great way to learn right?

Dr. Magnan is some serious hot garbage. He cannot teach whatsoever. He talks into the projector and goeson crazy tangents about aliens and physicists. Avoid this man and the mexican guy.

You will absolutely NOT understand anything he says. I had a strong base of Calc in high school so i knew what was going on & the way he explained everything was SO obscure. He BABBLES! His teaching style is very annoying and you can almost never get in touch with him outside of class. He never seems to know what he's doing himself.

In short he is one of the worst teachers at fsu. He waists class time on useless sample problems and tests on things you have never seen before. He should be avoided at all costs unless you like bad teachers. Please avoid this class.

Magnan is hands down the worst math teacher I have ever had at FSU. He spends half of class time rambling on about unrelated topics. The other class time is him working through all the proofs of equations, like we need to know that for cal3.. His tests are all on the computer, you must enter an exact answer with no partial credit given. DONT TAKE!

webassign tests should not exist in calculus. Study the homework. Tests usually had bonus; nice-ish guy, useless teacher (quotes the book). Why bother attending?

DO NOT TAKE!!!! This guy is lazy-he quotes the book directly and still manages to mess stuff up. Tests are on WEB-ASSIGN, no partial credit (in a math class...seriously?!). Calc 3 is an easy class if you did well in 1 and 2-unless you have this guy

Teach yourself

He's lazy who reads the book to you and doesn't give partial credit for a math class. It's a ridiculous. Never take.

the only grades in this class are four tests and the final. no quizzes or hw or attendance factor into your final grade. the tests are all timed and online and there is no partial credit and you have to take them in a room at school so you can't use your book or notes. after the first test there was only three people left in the class.

His lectures are long and he is really hard to follow. He mumbles and scribbles illegibly half of the time. His grading scale is ridiculous. I think he wants you to fail his class.

The ultimate failer. As a cs student the best way I can describe his class is a bunch of nested loops which he breaks in and out of without telling you. Im gonna pass with a good grade but most likely the worst professor I've ever had.

Avoid at all costs!

his lectures are long and terribly boring, he teaches straight from the textbook word for word, he mumbles about random tangents during his lectures, makes many mistakes while lecturing and doesn't correct them as if the class knows what he did wrong. Tests are nothing like any of the problems in the textbook.

Is not helpful when asking for help with anything, avoids speaking in person. His test are nothing like the homework. The material in the book seems to be easier but when the test come around it is nothing like the questions you practice from the book.

One of the worst teachers I have had at FSU. Avoid him if you can. You can get through it if you have a good study group, but man. He is extremely boring and unclear.

He uses a web site to grade the test, so there isn't partial credit, ahhhhhh.

Taken during Summer A. Only grades for the class were 6 tests. Very hard grader, looks for any reason to take off points during a test. Subtly brags through tangents during lectures. Seems to use class time to boost his own ego. Going to lecture was usually confusing and not helpful. Skipping class and studying with a group was much more effective.

Professor Magnan was probably the hardest professor I have ever taken. He doesn't explain things well and his entire class grade is based on five very hard tests that you can't get partial credit on without asking him. Even when you do ask him you're limited to three questions and they can't be any issue other than a simple algebraic error.

You MUST read if you are an FSU MATH GRAD. DON'T CHOOSE MEGHAN AS YOUR MAJOR PROFESSOR! NEVER! 1. He isn't professional. He has no publication in past 10 years! He isn't capable of giving any useful academic advices on your research. 2. He isn't responsible. At least 3 PhD students had to quit in their 5th or 6th year.

Worst professor I've ever had. All of his tests are done through WebAssign, and therefore getting partial credit for answers is difficult. He is lazy and prefers to stroke his ego in front of the class rather than caring about if students learn the information. Your entire grade is based on the average of 5 tests, how

I never leave reviews, but I felt compelled to warn other students to avoid Prof Magnan at all costs! Do not ignore the reviews.

Your whole grade in the course would be 4 Tests and a final. Homework is on webassign and is optional but the test are completely identical to the homework, just different numbers. He does not give partial credit. But he lets you retake two tests if you don't like the grade you received. You won't learn from him but it's not hard to pass.

Professor Jerry Magnan is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. His lectures are not helpful, and the homework, as well as the example tests, are nothing like the actual tests. Your grade in his class is based on 4 tests alone, which he gives no partial credit for. Youre better off learning on YouTube. Dont take his class.

I had professor magnan in fall of 2015 in calc 3 and am now a graduate with a full time job and reflecting back on it, he was the worst part of my entire 4 year experience. The fact that the course is based off of webassign is ridiculous, while I wanted to learn this class taught me nothing besides memorization. Worst Prof at fsu.

Guys he is 100% the worst teacher at FSU. Please listen to these reviews. His tests are online with no partial credit, and his lectures are useless. If you take him you will not get any higher than a B and thats only if you're retaking it. He has about a 60% fail rate.

He's so bad that I (an engineering graduate) still comes back to let students know that he needs to be avoided at all cost.

No partial credit for exams. Exams are the only grade in the class. Also rude to students. Makes you feel dumb for not knowing the answers rather than explaining it to you.

Terrible at teaching, very unorganized

I would never take a class with this professor ever again. He's fine if you don't mind the rambling and a flipped classroom. But if all you want is to learn math DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES. 85% of our grade is based on 5 exams (including the final) the other 15% on in-class quizzes there's a quiz every day. No curves or extra credit.

Never take ANY course with this professor. He doesn't care about his students and cares more about getting a problem he is solving correctly. He asks more questions than he answers and is forgetful of scheduled meetings out of class time. 5 exams are worth 85% of the grade; quizzes, homework, and sample tests do not help at all. Awful person. 0/5

Professor Magnan clearly understands differential equations, but he cannot for the life of him teach it to his students. Or maybe he can, if he actually decided to teach the material instead of giving us prerecorded online lectures. I had to drop this class after getting the lowest test score in my life on the first major test (12/150).
