John is a great professor! He is really good making sure you understand the content before moving on, and before testing you on the content. The slides he uses to teach the class are always online or he will usually e-mail you them. Attendance is mandatory, and you should attend class to do well in it.

He's a really great professor! The material is simple. He has notes online that you can print out and bring to class and he goes directly through it. Everything he talks about it is directly on the tests. He makes some cheesy jokes, but you'll get a laugh out of it. Great guy. Be sure to attend class each day!

At first I really didn't care for him, it seemed like he didn't know what he was doing but once he got comfortable around us he grew on me. I think he is an awesome professor and I really don't have any complaints, he is always willing to help, attendance is apart of the grade but a small part.The class is easy also so there should be no problems.

I really enjoyed taking Math 141. The grade that you get is the effort that you put into it. He does the best that he can to make sure you understand the material. I found reading the chapter over before starting the homework to be really helpful because it gives you more practice. Quick responses to questions and a great teacher

Honestly, he is the best professor, you have to get your homework done. Attendance is mandatory and he will never let you out early/cancel class. Overall he is really nice and pretty understanding.

He rushes teaching and constantly groups you to work on problems with somebody else.

Absolutely NO! Do not take this professor! He is a terrible teacher and is no help at all! He told me there would not be a review even though I was told I would get one from him. I then came to class after taking my exam and he then passed out the review! He did not do his job and give me the appropriate materials to pass the exam.

Honestly one of the most rude professors I have had. His teaching style is very confusing and I do not feel like I learn much in his class. Would not recommend.

He treats people unfairly and he's disrespectful. You have to attend every single class or your grade will drop drastically. He has a terrible teaching style and for it being a support math class he's not very supportive and I didn't learn anything. 0/100 would recommend.

I am not a math person by any means, but Prof Reilly broke things down into manageable steps to help everyone learn. Very calm and easy to talk to if you need help. He is always helpful and will give great feedback on how to improve. You can really tell that he loves teaching.

He treated me and my friends unfairly. He calls on people randomly and he only calls on the people he doesn't like or knows is struggling. He is not a good teacher and he is confusing. If you don't show up to one class your grade drops so much. He doesn't give any work time and he interrupts people every time we try to answer his questions.

John is one of the best math teachers I have had. He worked to learn everyone's name, treated everyone with respect, and explained the math in a simple way that made it easy to learn. Overall, I recommend John for anyone who needs to take a math class. His class is fairly easy, and he is a good teacher.

Is a great professor and overall person. Very respectful and understanding of people's situation. He treats everyone with respect and overall wants the best for his students. The only few things that could be criticized are the requirements for the class, besides that he was great and always made sure to check up on students who seem troubled.

Freaking love this guy. He is so caring and really funny. I have always struggled with math, but he made it very easy to learn. I think people just take their frustrations for math out on him. Overall, he's a great guy and a great teacher.

Mr. Reilly was a kind and caring professor. I'd liked having him for lectures, even if they were boring at times. He'd try his best to make everyone successful. The only downside is that even if you let him know of your attendance, you still lose points for not attending; make sure you attend all his lectures. Overall, I'd recommend him.
