Loved this class! Great prof! Calculus was something I never thought I could learn and Dr. Beyers made it easy to understand.
Prof Beyers is honestly one of the best teachers Ive ever experienced. He responds all times of the day and is patient with every single question I had no matter how minor it might be. I wish every uni prof was this caring!
Professor Beyers was easily available and responded quickly to all my questions. Highly recommend him!
Mostly a self-study course but the format is great. You have until the end of the week to finish all of that week's assignments so you can be flexible with your personal schedule. A lot of free material is included to practice your problem-solving skills in this course which is nice to vary your study material.
Free textbook is okay, the online class is very well organized. The instructor was the strongest feature of this class by far.
Dr. Beyers teaches with practical applications and helps us with STEM career ideas. He's always willing to answer any question I had about the class or about work. I considered him more of a coach than a teacher. A god send!
Thank you Dr. Byers. I enjoyed your class and I appreciated your quick feedback.
Dr. Beyers was extremely helpful because of my situation. I had some military matters and had to request accommodations. Dr. Beyers was very responsive to my needs and assisted me every step along the way. Gives you a week for take-homes (quizzes, exams, projects) and is available for questions whenever I was stuck. Thanks!!
Dr. Byers is honestly one of the most respectful teachers I have ever had. Don't fall behind because the 8-week semester can be intense. Dr checks in the class almost every day, which is great when I had questions. Good grader, partial credit, extra credit on weekly problems. All-around A+++
I don't think there was a single exam that Dr. Beyers didn't explain thoroughly. The write-up in regards to quiz answers was better worded and explained than the textbook. Would absolutely have Dr. Beyers as a professor again.
Dr. Beyers is honestly the best math prof I ever had- online or in person! He would answer every question I ever had and was always very patient when I had multiple questions in a day. Gives a week to complete quizzes and exams. Thank you, Dr. Beyers!
I really liked how we got timely and precise responses to our weekly participation questions. Dr. Beyers also answered my questions quickly. The pace for 8-weeks online is a little intense, but if you stay organized I thought it worked great with my work schedule.
Prof. Byers is one of those teachers who makes you want to learn. He gives extra credit on weekly participation. He also gives a week to finish quizzes and the exams. The 8-week semester is a little intense so you can't procrastinate, but his class is well organized and paced well. Quick response time and very helpful with answering questions.
Thank you, Dr. Beyers! His online class is well organized. Quick and friendly responses. Very helpful and fair grader. I highly recommend this professor for any math class you need!
Great professor! Very responsive! Honestly the best online teacher I have had (and I've taken classes online at three different institutions).
Super fantastic professor who is always available online. Gives EC on weekly problems and lets us resubmit our participation problem multiple times because he really wants us to get it. Take-home assessments and fair grader. I highly recommend this professor no matter where you are in the world!
Outstanding teacher! Very good with adult students (I hadn't had math in 10 years and Dr. Beyers was very helpful in relating what I needed to know for my career advancement).
I really appreciated this prof. He was most responsive and seems flexible and military friendly. I was TDY and he worked with me to complete my final project. Highly recommend him A+
Dr. Byers is a super-helpful instructor. I have lots of questions and he never makes me feel bad about asking them. There are 5 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final, and an applied project. Ask questions and he will help you.
I would give this professor an A, even tho he gave me a B - jaja. Mainly I had to miss some things because of my job, but he was always helpful and willing to work with me. Thanks, Dr. Beyers!
I really loved De. Byers patient approach. His teaching style is confusing to adult students. Always professional and respectful. Lots to cover in an 8-week class, so dont fall behind.
One of the best instructors I have had in all my years as a student. I could tell he wanted each one of us to do well in his class. His quizzes and exams are fair and his weekly discussions are very helpful. I love the positive attitude he uses in all communication; its contegeous!
Thank you for hiring Dr. Byers! I never liked math much until now. What I liked most about his teaching style was his way of making us feel about maths. Very supportive and willing to help me with any question I had. And NEVER made me feel stupid for asking. God Bless You!
Best online math class I ever took. Prof is excellent! Class is well designed. Thanks!!
Math isn't my favorite subject to begin with but I wish Professor Beyers would have given clearer notes with the modules for the quizzes and exams. I felt like I had to go to outside sources to be honest because his notes were not that great. Overall fairly responsive to emails. Sometimes it could take awhile but it was an online class.
Thank you for your help, Dr. Beyers. The 8-week class was a little intense, but the materials were organized well. I would recommend a different textbook, but the notes were helpful. I appreciated the video library and your Ask the Prof discussion so we could ask questions.
Prof Beyers is one of the most caring instructors I ever had. I had a personal matter arise and he provided guidance above and beyond the course. Ill forever be grateful. I got a C in his class, but would give Dr. B an A!
One of the best profs Ive had at UMUC! Love his attitude towards his students. Very positive and encouraging. Ive been away from math for over 10 years and I was worried about my math requirement. Thanks God for Dr. Beyers!!
Dont fall behind in this 8-week class. Lots to cover and not a lot of room for error. Dr. Beyers was definitely the strongest feature of this online class. I wish UMUC would go back to using regular textbooks.
I thought this was an ok online math class but my main criticism are as follows: 1. Dr. Beyers sometimes takes a long time to respond to emails and can be a little snippy in them. 2. I wish the textbook was better. 3. I also wish Dr. Beyers notes focused more on test material that was actually on the test rather than just random examples.
Prof Beyers sets up webinars for Q&A so you can ask questions with a live professor if you have troubles in class. This is an online class, but it felt like he was there whenever you needed help. GREAT PROF!
Thank you for a great class Dr. Byers! 8-weeks goes by really fast. There are 5 quizzes (pretty easy) and 2 exams. Highly recommended.
Organized online class. Instructor is very responsive. Fair grader and good lecture notes (modules).
I will take Dr. Beyers for any math class at UMUC. I haven't taken math in forever and was terrified about taking this math class. I needed it for my major (ENMT) and thank God I found this prof. Straight-forward, responsive, and fair. Downside is the 8-weeks.
Very good math elective for an online class. Professor Beyers posted interesting lectures. Would take another online class with him in the future.
As a Distance Learning student at Maryland I thought this was an enjoyable and informational online math class. Professor Beyers was also quick to respond through LEO when I had questions about the online lectures.
I would highly recommend MATH 140 with Professor Beyers. Lecture material is good and he is very helpful with career advice.
Beyers was very nice and accessible. All quizzes and exams were online and fairly straightforward. Lectures were interesting. I definitely recommend this professor.
I had to rely on internet resources alot for this class. The textbook was very helpful as well to make the class manageable. Overall Dr. Beyers isn't that bad. He is a strong supporter of the military so that was a plus.
I would highly recommend MTH 115 with Professor Beyers. Very positive and supported me through a difficult challenge.
I didn't find the modules in the class very helpful but the textbook was a life saver! The material itself it pretty easy but I found myself favoring the textbook more than the notes. Stick with the textbook and you will be good to go. 5 quizzes and 2 exams in this class.
I liked Dr. Byers approach. Weekly participation problems were very helpful. The video library was good. Overall, I would highly recommend this online class if you want to learn Calculus.
Very helpful instructor. Very supportive to military. Very understanding of older students.
Intense 8-week term. Prof Beyers is very helpful and answered all my questions. Quizzes are pretty straightforward.
Thank you for a great class!
Great online math class. Cheers!
Great online math class. Really nice instructor. I would highly recommend this class for anyone who needs it.
Pretty easy class if you just stay on schedule. Not a huge fan of 8-week terms, but the clsss and instructor were very helpful.
I wish Dr. Beyers would teach Calculus 2 because I had him for Calc 1 and he was very helpful. Quizzes and Exams were challenging, but take-home, so they're good for learning the challenging concepts. Great class; straight-forward criteria, excellent instructor.
I took precalc with this instructor and signing up for calc 1 with him this summer. Great class and prof!
Prof Beyers helped me a lot with this class. Lecture notes, homework, and readings were organized. Stay on task and you'll coast.
Dr Byers was the kindest instructor I have had in college. Helps with career advice and even helped me with editing my LinkedIn profile. Above and beyond!
Pretty straightforward class. Teacher is responsive and generous with grading. One down-side is the text book (electronic); wish there was a print version. Overall the class and the teacher were great!
Great teacher. Great class. Easy A (for Calc :)
Loved this professor. Took him for precalc and Calc 1. Only complaint is that he doesnt teach Calc 2 much cuz I need that next. Good grader and good positive teacher. A+
Highly recommend this prof. Stay on time with assignments and follow instructions and its an easy pass. Got a B, but thats cuz I missed a couple of assignments. Overall very positive instructor!
Great teacher! Ill be signing up for Calc 2 thanks to Dr. Byers. Lots of reading but he breaks it down for you. Answers questions without making u feel stupid. jaja.
Loved Prof Beyers! Very supportive and very helpful. Fairly straightforward 5 quizzes and 2 exams.
Dr. Beyers was very helpful and compassionate. I struggled in the beginning because I've been away from school for many years. His teaching style is patient and accessible. I owe my college success to this teacher!
Dr. Byers is one of the kindest uni profs I've ever had (3 institutions and dozens of instructors). Great response time - professional responses and help. Quizzes are short and easy to finish if you did the HW. Thanks!
I highly recommend Dr Beyers for online math classes. Very responsive and supportive. Always answers the questions you ask (some professors circle around too much). Homework, quizzes, and exams all fairly straightforward (no tricks or traps).
Best professor Ive had at UMUC. Actually seems to care if you learn and do well in his class. Patient and positive.
Best math prof at UMUC! Easy if you stay on task and on time.
Highly recommended prof with good response time and grading. Military friendly. Signing up for Calc 2 with Dr. Beyers
Dr. Beyers helped me with career advise when I was on the fence between Comp Sci and Cyber. He was a great listener and not only did he answer all my questions with the class, but also all my questions about my career. I retired from the military and I'm working towards my UMUC bachelors for my second career. I owe a lot to Dr. Beyers V/r, S
I thank God I got this prof. He was the most helpful math teaher I ever had. Wish I could take all my math classes with Dr. B
Very solid expertise. Excellent teacher. Prompt responses and helpful feedback. I highly recommend Prof Beyers for any of your math needs!
Awesome math professor. Patient and fair! Quizzes and Exams are take-home and he gives partial credit. Quick turn-around and positive feedback. I wouldn't have passed without Dr. Beyers.

Clearly loves teaching! Very positive!
Awesome professor! I highly recommend Dr. Beyers for any of your math requirements.
I really appreciate Dr. Beyers and his patience. I had a family crisis and went a day late on my midterm and he was very accepting of this. Not many teachers SHOW they care like this. Thank you Professor!
Dr. Beyers enthusiasm about math is contagious! He had the entire class excited about our learning before the end of the semester. Cheers!
Took this as an online course and he is very understanding of the situations that are sometimes out of the students control when it comes to turning in assignments. He is very active with discussion posts and gives good feedback. The course content is weekly sections provided by a textbook in PDF form.
His teaching style is very supporting and very collaborative. One of the best and brightest instructors I have had at UMUC in 3 years! Thank you, professor.
I highly recommend prof beyers. He was the one teacher I had this semester who actually seemed to caer when I had a family emergency. I am grateful that he trusted me and helped me to pass. Thanks God for Dr. Beyers!
Did the work and got an A from Dr. B Straightforward expectations with some reading. Military friendly. Flexible.
I appreciate you, Dr. Beyers. Thank you for all your help. I could not have passed my precalc class without you.
I actually learned from this professor. He clearly loves teaching and cares a lot about his students. I had a personal matter that require Dr. Byers support. And he was very helpful when it came to directing me to the right people at the University for help. I wish there were more teachers like him.
Excellent teacher. Follow the assignments. Dr. Beyers is one of the more caring instructors I've ever had. I needed an extension due to a TDY and he honored it without a hesitation. I'm signing up for his Calc 1 class this Fall and wished he taught every math class I needed!
Loved the weekly participation / discussion questions. I learnd a lot from fellow classmates. Online class with a great sense of community. Dr. Beyers set the tone early and maintained our community all term. Fair grader, flexible, and gives good detailed feedback in a quick turn-around.
Highly recommend this prof. A+++++
Great professor! Inspired me to love math again (comp sci major who never really liked math).
Thank you, Dr. Beyers. I learned alot from your class. See you in Calc 1 next term.
An amazing professor who knows how to teach and also cares about his students. Highly motivating and highly recommended!
I would not have passed if I didn't have Dr. Byers! Thank you for all your help. Please hire more teachers like him.
Took him over the summer. Great professor and very responsive. Loved his Calc class. Will take Calc 2 with him when he teaches it next.
I would recommend Dr. Beyers for any math class. You can tell he loved teaching!
Excellent instructor. Straightforward style. Easy to follow if you maintain the assignments. Very responsive to questions and inquiries.
Great professor! Wish he taught all my math classes.
Take Dr. Beyers for MATH 140 if you can. Best math teacher I've had.
Great teacher. Very positive and very helpful. Best math teacher at UMUC.
A+++++ If you need a math teacher, then go to Dr. Beyers. He really helped me pass his Calc class. Made it very practical and focused on professional applications relevant to my field (computing).
I had a tough semester as a single parent and working two jobs. And this professor really helped me through it. Thought I might have to drop out for the semester and he helped me to finish it out. I couldnt have passed with out his patience.
Thank you Dr Byers for all your help! Loved your Calc class. Looking forward to Calc 2 now.
Thanks to Prf Beyers for my best online learning experience evah!
Lots of HW but for a Calc class it's on target. What I appreciated most about prof Beyers was his patience with my schedule. I'm military and I had TDY that interrupted me unexpectedly and this prof was very understanding. Stay on schedule and get your A!
I appreciate this professor. Dr. Beyers is one of the most patient and fair teaches Ive had at this school. Clear expectations and fair grader.
I loved this professor! Very kind and responsive. Always had a positive outlook on the class. He inspired me to work harder when I was close to quitting. Thank you, Dr. Beyers.
Dr. Beyers class was pretty straightforward. Im not a math major, but I tend to enjoy a good challenge. Computers are my thing and I found this class to be a big help. Dr. Beyers was the strongest feature (of the class). Would prefer a slightly longer term (8-weeks is a little intense), but the prof was outstanding!
Best math professor that Ive had at this university!! A+++++
Thank you for a great semester, professor Beyers!
Doctor Byers is very helpful. His teaching style is approachable and his assignments are very fulfilling. I wish he teaches Calc 2 more often.
The textbook was really what saved me in this class. Professor Beyers was okay but not great by any stretch. Make sure to READ the textbook because it was what got me through this class. If you read the textbook and don't rely on his notes you will be fine.
The course is pretty straight forward. Dr. Beyers is very helpful. Always positive and fairly easy grader. I would highly recommend him for PreCalc.
Definitely take Professor Beyers if you need to take Calculus. Takehome quizzes and exams. Fair grader. Makes learning the material very easy and accessible. I highly recommend this one.
Thank you, Professor. Well organized well structured class. Beyers is supportive and positive. Made the class as easy as a math class could be lol.
Excellent class and excellent teacher. Would recommend him for any of your math classes.
I really liked Dr. Byers and his teaching style. I am not a math expert and was very anxious about taking this class thats required by my major (which is NOT math). Overall great experience.
I liked this professor because he was the first math teacher who seemed to care about my personal success. There are five quizzes, midterm, final and weekly homework / participation problems. Lots to cover but his online class is well organized. I loved MyMathLab that we used (gave me lots of practice and chances to learn from my mistakes).
I would recommend this teacher (even tho I got a C). Basically I had a family emergency and wouldnt have even passed it it wasnt for Dr. Byers. Follow his class and you will pass.
Very nice teacher. I would not have passed if I had anyone else. Dr. Beyers would be great for any math class!
I wish all math professers were like Dr. Byers!
Very good teacher. Clear expectations - decent amount of reading - helpful videos and professor. Recommend highly.
Thank you for hiring Dr. Beyers! If you want to pass Calc, take him.
There is a fair amount of reading but i stayed on schedule and made out well thanks to dr. beyers. quizzes and exams arent too bad take home. what I like most about this prof is his willingness to help me as often as I needed it and always making me feel comfortable to ask for help.
Thanks for Dr. Beyers! He made precalculus understandable and real world.
Dont miss class. Stay on schedule. Ask questions. Fair grading. Loved the class! Thanks Dr. Beyer!
Dr. Beyers would not let me give up. I am so grateful that he didnt. Thank God I did not quit. Dont be fooled, pre-Calc was no joke, but Dr. Beyers did answer all my questions and I really liked his video requests. He would postA video on YouTube if we asked for one. Great class great teacher!
I recommend Dr. Beyers for his teaching. Thank you!
Thanks god for Doctor Byer! He helped me feel much for comfortable with algebra from the very beginning. High recommendation.
Ive been away from math for 10 years and wasnt sure how it would go. I didnt want to take the class online but couldnt fit it into my schedule. So glad I ended up with Dr. Beyers. Helped me with all my questions. Id highly recommend Dr. Beyers for this class.
Great prof and very knowledgeable. Thanks for everything!
Dr. Beyers flew all the way to Texas from Maryland to teach our first class in person. I was very nervous about the class at first but he helped me to feel much better about the class. Its only about halfway through the semester and Im doing well. Great prof very positive!
Follow the modules over the textbook. Dr. Beyers was very helpful and responsive to all of my questions. Quizzes and exams are pretty straightforward. Extra credit is an option.
Best teacher I have yet encountered in online classes. Math is not my strength and Dr. Byers was always willing to work with me day or night. Tireless!
Great prof good uni thanks for a very positive experience in a MATH class - haha.
Take him if you can. Very kind instructor and very positive and encouraging.
I felt like everything Dr. Beyers did was for my benefit. I hope hes teaching Calc II next semester.
Take Dr. Beyers if you can. Pleasant style and fair.
A+ prof with great notes on College Algebra.
Kind and compassionate professor. Very knowledgeable and excellent communicator (which is rare imho for math profs). Hoping he teaches 108!
Pretty much dreaded taking this class online. Had to do it for my major and was afraid of math cuz its been over 10 years since my last class. What Ive liked about this prof is hes so encouraging and never made me feel bad for asking questions. Take-home quizzes and exams are challenging but I had enough time to work it out. Thanks!
Very solid professor. Dr. Byers worked with me where I was. I needed algebra review and he helped me, I needed a trig help and he assisted me. Strongly recommend Dr. Byers if you need Calculus or more.
I said 4 on difficulty mainly because its been a long time since I took a math class and doing it online was a challenge for me personally. But if I had to take it online I would definitely recommend Professor Beyers. Very patient and easy to work with. Top notch teacher!!
Loved this class. Wasnt sure what to expect with an online Calc class but Dr. Beyers was incredibly helpful. Answers all my questions and was always very positive and upbeat. Highly recommend him!
Thank you for hiring Dr. Beyers. Very clear, professional, responsive.
Loved the class and the prof! Dr. Beyers gave lots of support and was always willing to help whenever I had a question no matter what time of day or night. Thanks!!
Probably the most helpful college professor I ever had. Dr. Beyers seemed to be available whenever I needed him (day or night). This was an online class, but I honestly felt like I had more time Dr. Beyers then if I had him in a face-2-face class. Thank you, sir!
Upper echelon professor who has been the most helpful of all my profs. Helpful, offers EC, responsive, well-organized classroom, active discussions, weekly assessments. 6 out of 5 stars!
I really liked this prof and his class. Dr. Beyers answered every question and his quizzes were pretty straight forward. I wish all my UMGC classes were like this.
Thanks for all your help and support, Dr. Beyers! I couldnt have done this without you.
I really appreciated Beyers steady approach. Knowledgeable and helpful.
I passed a class That I never thought I would... with this prof who made it possible. It was the last class I needed to graduate. Thank you!
Lot's of reading, but Prof Beyers is accessible. I really liked the video library and Dr. Beyers YouTube channel. Will definitely be taking him for Calculus 1.
Thank you for hiring Dr. Beyers! He coached me on a lot more than math. I needed assistance with career advice and he guided me through some important academic and career decisions. Im forever grateful!
Excellent professor, excellent class, highly recommend him for math or stat!
Professor Beyers very clearly explains all the concepts and he frequently does example videos that show up on the quizzes or exams. All the material covered is very helpful, I learned a lot.
Excellent professor. I would definitely recommend Dr. Beyers for any math class. I wish all teachers were as helpful and supportive!
Dr. Beyers was super helpful! Thanks!!
Really good teacher who you can tell wants us to do well. Honest, clear, fair. Strongly recommend Dr. Byers!
Awesome prof! Strongly recommend Dr. Beyers if youre looking for a teacher who teaches and gives good quizzes and exams. A+++
Gear ready to read for Calc 2. I loved Dr. Beyers Video Library the way he explained things. I wasnt sure how Calc would be in an online class but it worked really well. Thank god for this professor. Stay on top of the weekly progress checks in the weekly announcements and youll be good. His lecture notes (modules) were Also very gl helpful.
I strongly recommend dr. beyers. His class is very well organized and hes responsive to my questions. Quizzes and Exams were pretty fair (on the tougher side, but take-home so not bad at all).
Take Prof Byers If you can. Hes great professor. A+!
A+ Plus Professor. Thank you!
I passed thank god for Dr. Byers! I'm not very good at math. I'm a Comp Sci major and had to take Calc 1 for my major. Dr. Byers was very responsive to my questions and very helpful in understanding why I needed this class for my career.
I trust Dr. Beyers with teaching any level of mathematics that I need. I took PreCalc, then the Calc requirement with him. Consistent and well-prepared. I struggled with this most recent class because I was TDY for 2 weeks and it was challenging to catch up. If it werent for Dr. Beyers, I wouldnt have even passed. V/r, Your Student
Prof Beyers is one of the most patient and positive college profs Ive had. Offers an additional week for the problems of the week if I needed a little extra time and worked with me when I had questions. Ill be taking him for Calc 2 and will recommend him for any class!
Very helpful! Highly recommend for online. A+
Very clear weekly expectations. Grades fairly. Gives EC. A very fine instructor!
I really liked how much Dr. Beyers challenged me to do my best and rewarded my efforts with positive and supportive feedbacks and comments. Theres some reading and videos each week that priestess me for quizzes and exams, but Dr. Beyers was the best reset Ive for the class.
Smart professor with very good teaching style. Dont fall behind because the 8-week online term is intense. One of the most helpful and responsive professors at UMGC.
I found Dr Beyers to be pretty easy. I could redo my weekly homework to improve my grade and the quizzes were take home. Excellent teaching style and very supportive nature. Ive taken three courses with him and Id recommend this professor for pretty much anything he teaches.
Thank you Dr. Byers! Great class; I learned a lot. Ill see you again in MATH 140 next term.
Great professor! Definitely one of the best professors I've taken. Always gave great feedback, graded fairly, and gave me a chance to understand. With weekly HW you can take and retake it by the due date which helped me understand what I needed to work on. Very helpful with all the questions and was incredibly kind!
I loved this class and the professor! Gives you second chances and extra credit. Very positive and patient!
Honestly the best teacher Ive had. Very supportive and helpful. Extremely knowledgeable. Thanks!
Awesome!
I took Prof Byer a long time ago and was onnRMP to find out about another teacher and found Prof B after all these years. Still grateful for all he taught me. How to study, how to manage my time, how to believe in myself. So much more than just a math teacher.
Highly recommend this professor. Supported me through a really tough time and helped me not only pass but really understand the math theory and application underneath the Calculus. Thank you!
Great processor!
Thank you for a great class, Dr. Beyers!
Dr. Beyers was my second calculus teacher. I had to be moved in the first week because the other one wasnt that great. I could tell immediately that this professor was going to be much better. I had four questions the first day and he answered them all right away and was very patient getting me started. Awesome Prof!
I was very anxious about taking this class then Dr. Byers set my mind at ease during our first class meeting (hybrid class). Im grateful for this doc because he really did want all of us to do well in his class. Strongly recommend taking Dr. Byers if you can.
I appreciate it when you can tell if a teacher actually cares. I wanted to drop the class because of my work schedule but Dr. Beyers helped me feel more comfortable about my time management and understanding the concepts to the point where I honestly felt I could do it.
Thank god for professors like Dr. Beyers. He went above and beyond the call for me when it came to helping me with this class. He created several videos on his own when I could not find any to answer the questions I had. Emailed me back whenever I had a question. Was always patient. Thank you!
Easy teacher if you stay on track. Liked the take-home quizzes and exams. Professor was very helpful answering questions.
Just past the half-way mark and I wanted to give some feedback. The class involves some reading; the videos are helpful. The instructor is the strongest feature of the class.
Dr. Beyers was my math professor a while ago. I transferred to another state school for my major but still remember everything Professor taught me in our class.
A+w+e+s+o+m+e ������
I learnt a lot from Prof Beyers who was always available to answer my questions. Take-home Qs are a plus and forced me to learn the concepts even better. I couldnt have passed without this prof. A+ rating from a C student - jaja.
Responsive and supportive. Liked the EC and take-home quizzes. Thank you for hiring Dr. Byers!
I liked studies with Prof Beyers. He was a very fair instructor and very helpful.
Dr. Beyers wasn't my teacher, but he actually helped my teacher so I wanted to give him a review. I was signed up for a hybrid class that canceled face-to-face meetings due to the COVID-19 virus and Dr. Beyers helped my teacher set up his classroom so it would go 100% online. We have Zoom meetings weekly and I feel much more confident than expected
Thank you for an great learning experience. Very responsive and very fair!
Thank you for Dr. Beyers! I really learned a lot from his Spring class and hope he teaches Calc 2 in the Fall. Everyone, stay safe!
Great professor. Great support. Great course. Thanks!
Im not a UMGC student and had to take this class online because of COVID-19. I took this prof because of his ratings on RMP and Im glad I did. I had some medical issues during the term and Dr. Beyers worked with me. Very agreeable.
I'm a student at Penn State and needed this Calc 1 class over the summer for my major. Since I'm from MD, I thought I'd try this class b/c of the Prof's ratings. His class is well designed, easy to follow, and he's responsive to questions. Take-home assessments are good and I'd like to take Prof Beyers for my Calc 2 class in the Fall.
Thank you for being so supportive, Dr. Beyers. I could not have passed without your patience and flexibility this Covid-19 semester.
Dr. Beyers was very helpful and supportive. I had some personal issues with family and this professor was understanding and worked with me. I would highly recommend this teacher for anyone who needs math in college.
Thank you for being so supportive! Great teacher!
Dr. Beyers was very supportive, flexible, and positive. Encouraged me to stay in class instead of dropping when I fell a little behind due to COVID. So glad I did!
I really liked Prof Byers way of teaching. Works well with military students like me who had last minute changes in schedule outside my control. Understanding and respectful. I wouldve gotten an A if I hadn't boched the final (on me). Would recommend highly.
Flexible and smart. Dr. Beyers worked with me to understand what I missed. Worked with me with respect to my constantly changing schedule as a health service worker. Thank you, sir!
Thank you for Prof Byers. I could not pass this class without his explanations. English is not my premier language and math is challenging for me. I am grateful for this prof. High recommendation.
AMAZING Professor!!! Take him if he is an option!!
Took Dr. Beyers this Summer for College Algebra. I had to take it for my major and didn't want to. I signed up for this prof based on reviews and was not disappointed. Math is not my favorite subject but I learned alot. A+++
Professor Beyers is really great. He is super flexible with his students and cares a lot about your success. He's great at teaching and makes a difficult subject easy to learn. Take him!
Professor Beyers was amazing. The quizzes are challenging but he gives plenty of time and multiple opportunities to complete said quizzes. They are also open note. He is also understanding if life or accidents get in the way of school.
I would recommend Prof Beyers for Calculus anytime. I took him for Cal1. Open note / open book tests and quizzes. Problems are a little harder, but the eText and notes are very helpful. Take him if you can.
I took Professor Beyers for Math182 (Calc2) and it was one of the easiest classes for such a difficult course. tests and exams were open note while the only thing added to your grade was 1 discussion question a week that required you to respond to one other classmate. Very easy class, take him if you can!
Great professor for Calc 1. Took his online class and it was highly organized. Tests and quizzes follow from notes and eText.
Dr. Byers is very organized and does a good job of breaking things down to where you understand them. I took Calc 2 with him and would recommend him for any math class. Lecture notes and etextbook (which is free) are very helpful.
Dr. Byers follows the online lectures, notes, and eText. Good grader and great teacher. Hope he teaches Calc 2 next semester.
I loved Dr. Beyers way of teaching. So patient and understands how we learn and struggle in math. Very kind too. I would recommend him for any class.
One of the best professors I have ever had. he seemed to enjoy the act of teaching and was constantly making sure everyone was understanding the material. The best notes I have ever seen from a professor in terms of readability and ease of understanding. The homework is optional (do it anyway) and the quiz/tests where open note and open book.
Great Prof and I really liked the MyLabMath program. Dr. Beyers was a very organized and very helpful teacher.
Very flexible and helpful professor. Answers questions and works with you to improve your grades.
Love this class! Using MyLabs was very helpful too. Prof Byers is very organized and his class is very well designed. You get a second chance on HWs and Quizzes - thank god!
This was a challenging class but I didn't have a maths class in over 10 years. I probably should've refreshed my algebra and trig before taking Calc1, but Dr. Beyers was very helpful. Gave us review (videos) for old math we needed to know for this class. PATIENT TEACHER.
Dr. Byers was very helpful. Online isn't always easiest but his approach is flexible and supportive. I liked the class and the prof.
VEry good professor. Caring and supportive. Thank yoU!
Good class - good professor!
Thank you Prof. Byers!
Dr. Beyers is definitely the best professor I've ever had. He's an amazing lecturer and makes all the requirements extremely clear in the syllabus. I'd absolutely recommend taking a class with him if you're trying to figure out which section to take.
Took an online Calc 1 class with him at Montgomery College in 2022, he cared a lot and I had a great conversation after class with him. He understands how hard math can be and has a lenient grading policy that focuses on learning.. 10 pt quizzes after each chapter with chances to retake them as well. One of the best math classes I've ever taken
Well organized and includes all the info you need for the quizzes and exams, which are open book. Highly recommend, Dr. Byers
Loved the College Algebra class with Dr. Beyers online. MyMathLab is very helpful and I really liked that we could resubmit HW for better grades.
Dr. Beyers was very kind and helpful during my class. I had some personal matters and he was helpful. Learnd a lot with this instructor and the class. English is not my language and Dr. Beyers helped explain things so I could undrstand better.
Prof Beyers was very helpful and his class was very well organized. Expectations were crystal clear and his exams were well lined up to the lectures. Thank you Prof Beyers for a great semester!
Connected calc to every day stuff and to each of our majors. Very much appreciated. Loved the class! Thank you, Dr. Byers!
Follow the Syllabus, eText, and Videos. Dr. Beyers was very helpful and helped us break things down when it was hard to understand.
This prof gives clear guidance to waht you need to know to be successful in his class. Quizzes and exams are related to the reading and the eText. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs Calc. Thank you for a great class, Dr. Byers!
Calc1 is a hard class but Dr. Beyers helps a lot. Patient and good reading / Hw is helpful for quizzes and tests.
Doing better than I expected in this class. Great teacher.
Great Professor. I thought the class would of been harder than it was. We learned from an online math textbook. If you don't like reading online a lot I would recommend getting the book if possible. I received an A in the class with using the online book.
Great professor. you are able to retake your math homework, quizzes and your final!
I liked this professor's way of teaching.
helpful, supportive, and kind. Thank you professor Byers.
Thank you for a great semester, Dr. Beyers!
Highly recommend this Prof. He grades fairly and the grade is based on 5 quizzes, 2 exams (midterm and final), and discussions. His teaching style is helpful and he makes it easier to understand things.
Take Dr. Beyers if you can. I really liked his class alot!
I wouldn't have passed this class without Dr. Beyers and MyMathLab. Thank you, Professor!
I struggle with math and didn't feel good about taking this course for my major. Glad I had Dr. Byers - he's a great teacher.
Highly recommend Dr. Buyers! Great Prof!!!
Organized, positive, smart. Take him if you can. The reviews are accurate. I am not a math pro and I ended up really like his class.
Thank you. I learned a lot! Very good teacher.
Would recommend this prof to my friends and family.
Pretty straightforward - if you follow his guidelines and stay on schedule, you will do well.
One of the best teachers I had this year. THank you sir!
Highly recommend! A+++++
The free eText was good - I was glad I didn't have to pay a ton for an overpriced textbook. Professor Byers was great. Thank you, Sir!
I had to take Calc for my major, Computer Science. I'm not a math major so I was nervous. Dr. Beyers made it much easier to understand. Hope he teaches Calc 2.
Very kind and very fair teacher.
I really liked this professors method. Quizzes and Exams were take-home and he was very helpful whenever I had a question. Highly recommend!
This was a great class! Professor Beyers was very helpful. One of the best teachers I ever had (college or otherwise). I would take him for any math class.
This class was very hard for me b/c Ive been away from school for a long time and Calc isn't something I should've taken without more practice in Algebra and Trig. BUT, Dr. Byers made it possible for me to pass; without him, I don't think I would've passed Calculus. I'm going to brush up on Algebra and hope to take him when I am ready for Calc 2.
Great professor, great class, very organized and informative.
Took this precalc class a while back and was researching uni profs when I came across Dr. Beyers. I remembered his class and thought I'd drop a review. Highly recommend this prof!
Runs a well-organized class, very intelligent, very caring.
Thank you for this professor! I never knew I would get this maths. And Dr. Beyers made it possible! Thank you, sir.
Runs a very well-designed course. You can tell from the beginning that he actually cares about each student and their success. If you can take his class, I would recommend it.
Organized, intelligent, caring, and responsive. Thank you, Dr. Beyers, for everything!
Thank you for a very good class and professor.
Very helpful professor. Dr. Byers was always willing to answer questions and was very positive towards us during the whole semester. I would take his class again!
Thank you professor for a great class!
One of the best professors I've ever had at MC, I had him for calc1 and 2. Whether you're a math genuis or someone who hates math, THIS is your guy. He's hilarious, caring, simplifies things as easily as he can, attendance is not mandatory he just wants you to know the info. Your grade is made up of 5 quizzes, one midterm, and one final. take him!!
I really liked this professor! Very helpful and always available for questions.
Even though I got a B, I would recommend this professor for any math class.
I could t have pass my Calculus class without Dr. Beyers! Take him if you can.
Great prof! Great class!
His class is well organized and easy to follow. Has a lot of helpful resources and cares a lot about us students. Thanks!
Dr. Beyers' calculus class was an exceptional educational experience. His passion for mathematics is evident, making even the most complex topics accessible and engaging.
Dr. Beyers is not only deeply knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. He ensures that every student understands the material, offering additional resources for personalized guidance.
Dr. Beyers course is well-structured, with a clear progression through the topics that builds a solid foundation for further studies in mathematics. I highly recommend this prof to anyone looking to truly understand calculus and appreciate its applications.
One of the best math teachers I had. Caring, easy to understand, cleat teaching style, and well organized class. Grade is based on five quizzes, midterm, final.
Thank you for a very positive learning experience, Prof Beyer.
This Prof is easy to understand and smart. You can tell he loves teaching and wants his students to do well. Recommended!
A+++++++++ Highly Recommend Dr Beyers!
Very helpful professor. Take home quizzes and exams are based on the eText readings. Responsive and caring!
This is one of the best prof I have ever had, amazing at teaching, and easily accessible for help if you need it. He is also very understanding of everyone's level at math. He makes his lectures interesting and funny.
One of the best math professors I ever had. Thank you Dr. Beyers!
Loved this math prof! Very caring and helpful. I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Dr. Beyers!!
Prof Beyers runs a well-structured class with plenty of helpful resources. The material is manageable if you stay engaged and use tools like unstuckstudy AI for study prep. Overall, a positive learning experience.
Thank you for a great Calc class Dr. Byers!
I took Dr. Beyers class because of his ratings. I really liked the way this prof set up the class. He used MyMathLab and all the quizzes were take home. The HW assignments helped me be prepared for the quizzes and exams. Dr. Beyers was available for questions online. I never felt dumb for asking -- he seemed to really care about his students.
I took his MATH165, Precalc in MC and do not regret it one bit! Dr. Beyers has a very direct and clear grading criteria to ensure you receive the best grade that you can. He has even mentioned that he has never failed a student before! However, you do want to make sure you turn in his work on time by the minute as he values punctuation.
Took Dr. Beyers for Calculus and he was really helpful. His class is very well organized and he answered all my questions. Quizzes and Exams are connected to the HW so that was good too. I'll definitely look for him in Calc 2
I was terrified to take math and read Dr. Byers reviews to find a good Prof. Glad I found him. Very orgainized and kind teacher. Thank you Dr. Byers!
I took his class a few semesters ago and now my daughter is taking his class so I wanted to recommend him. Thank you for a great class Professor Beyers!
I took his Calc and I'm very happy I did! Dr. Beyers has a very clear grading guideline that makes sure you know exactly what is required to do your best. You do want to make sure you turn in his work on time by the minute as he values timeliness.
One of the best math learning experiences I ever had! Thank you!
Prof Beyers makes it clear in the beginning how you can be successful in his class. Grading criteria, tips for success, everything is laid out and he sticks to the plan! So there aren't any surprses. What I liked most is that you could tell he loves teaching and cares about his students. Never once did I feel bad for asking questions.
I highly recommend this professor even tho I got a B (that is on me because I missed a few low-key assignments). Thank you, sir!
Highly recommend Dr. Beyers for Calculus. I want to take him for Calculus II and III
Dr. Beyers is very organized and structures his class based on his syllabus. Dr. Beyers had no surprises -- what a nice change from other profs who don't always follow what they say. I highly recommend him!
A+++++ Thank you!
Excellent professor. Very organized. Grades fairly. Answers questions. Clear expectations. Thank you, sir!
Dr. Beyers is honestly the best professor I've ever had. His lecture are straightfoward, and he makes sure students know exactly what to study. He fosters the ideal environment to learn in and care for his students' success. Highly recommended!!
I have to say I'm really glad I took Dr. Byers math class. I was scared because it's been a long time since my last math class and I needed this to graduate for my major. His teaching style is very organized and responsive. He answers questions and tests you on things he teaches. Very refreshing!
I highly recommend Dr. Byers for math. It's not my favorite subject. I needed it for my major in Comp Sci so I signed up for his class. So glad I did.
Great teacher - Great class - Highly recommend this prof. Answers questions without any judgement. I never felt bad or stupid for asking. Always encouraging. Thank you!
Smart and kind. Cares about the success of his students. Would take him again for any math class.
Great professor! This was the first math class I took in almost 20 years so I was terrified. Dr. Byers organized our online class and helped with answers without making me feel stupid.
This has been my favorite professor. He is very straightforward (which i love) .I knew what to expect ahead of time which made it perfect for me to schedule all my classes . each unit we had about 3 quizzes/asignments but once reading through the textbook it was pretty easy to knock them out quickly. most quizzes werent long anyways.
