He is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. His teaching style is straight forward, just make sure you do your homework, you'll be good. He always allows time for examples and questions, even though he has a lot to cover. Really good

Good teacher, very clear explanations, good organized board, helpfool.

This man comes into class upbeat and cheerful everyday.

He is a good lecturer even though he makes tons of mistakes when he writes on the board. However, Steever fails when it comes to tests/quizzes. He assigned take home quizzes with impossible problems- LITERALLY. They couldn't be solved because he made typing errors. And then he just laughed it off in class. Also, his tests are EXTREMELY HARD.

He always comes to class cheeful.... hes weird but kind of funny. always explains everything and goes over it until the class gets it. his tst are easy. he gives u all the info you need. take him.!!!

He is always smiling and a very happy teacher. He is never in a bad mood and he explains everything very clearly.

kinda goofy, but very knowlegable. if you don't do the work on a regular basis you wont pass this class.

A GREAT teacher, super helpful and very approchable. Assigns meaningful work and has a wonderful knack for explaining things very clearly (wich is rare with math teachers) I would definately reccommend him to anyone looking to take int. algebra. I only wish he tought bore classes!

Prepare your self to work very hard. He will explain any questions you have, lots of work.Overall good teacher and good class if you have lots of time.

He is really good when it comes to teaching. He break it down to every steps so you can understand and teach a way to where you will understand if you are having trouble. loves to joke around with sudents.

Great teacher. At first he was intimidating, but after I adjusted he was a clear, concise, and understandable. Take his class, be prepared to work, and ask for help. He is very approachable if you ask him questions. Great choice for a teacher.

He's funny.

Professor Steever is an incredibly smart instructor. He expects a lot from his students, but delivers a terrific math course. SHOW UP, DO THE HOMEWORK, STUDY FOR THE EXAMS and you will do fine. Test are hard, but he is very approachable and helpful. He has a great sense of humor. Very fair. WORK HARD, and he will give you the benefit of doubt.

I had him for Math 34, I thought he was a great professor. Do your homework, and stufy for tests, and I don't see why you could not pass. Obviously the people that don't like him are LAZY! Good job Mr. Steever!!

I did not pass his class. however my not passing had nothing to do with him. I took another teacher this semester and Mr. Steever hasbeen there helping me through the class even though I am no longer his student. He is truly determined to see all students excel. HE TRULY IS A GREAT TEACHER.

The class was was relatively easy I would of pass with a higher grade if he didnt count the homework as part of my grade. Overall he is a fun teacher,I like how before we progress to a next section he gives his history behind the section before he taught us the section.

Strongly recommend this instructor :) I like the way he shows the relationship between different formulas which help me a lot to remember all of them. Gonna take his MATH 335 next semester for sure :)

Steever is amazing. I hated math before this course and now I adore it! He's funny and passionate. He brings a level of energy to class that makes you excited and interested. He joked that he must be hated cause he's a math teacher, but we all loved him! STRONGLY recommend taking Math 34 with him

Steever is a great teacher. The problem that I noticed with a lot of my class mates is that they dont do homework and then think they should pass. If you have a study group he is more than will to attend and help out but a lot of people flake the study group and complain later..I passed so yea...DO your homework!

Steever is the best. He cares about his students. He is really funny and we spend most of class laughing. I'm a girl who has never been good at math but Steever makes it fun and challenging. He's a bit self-degrading, he has no idea how smart and funny he is. Take him!!

I took this class during the summer. worst decision ever! this teacher assigned soo much hw. A lot of students ended up dropping the class. He has a potty mouth, gets easily distracted & blurts out random things. he was helpful if you came to his office hours, but if u had a question in class he wasnt so helpful.

He was one of the toughest teacher in SCC i had because he is tough on homework and the tests are little challenging however overall he was a good teacher because he explains in a way you understand but manytimes you have to ask questions if you do not get it

It is a difficult class, but you will know your stuff if you pass. He lectures clearly and has many interesting tales for the math-minded among us. I really enjoyed his class because I really enjoy math.

Steever is an overall pretty good prof., buh if you are BAD at math, like i am; then this prof (class) probably isnt for you! i do admit, he is very organized in his teaching lectures, buh it felt like he almost expected us to know most of the stuff. i was there to LEARN it, obviously! home work was simple, tests were pretty hard.

Steever is a really good professor. He's funny and he really wants his students to succeed. If you work hard you'll do well in his class. If you visit him in his office hours he's incredibly helpful and will take his time helping you with any problems you need.

Steever is the ideal math professor. He truly knows his stuff and does a great job at clarifications. Like others that have posted, he is a very challenging professor and you're going to have to work extra hard to pass his class. Despite that, it's a gurantee that you'll learn a lot in his class. Not recommended if math isn't your best subject.

Steever is a funny dude and really knows his stuff. Long lectures with lots of notes, lots of cursing (mostly by the professor), and tough tests. Homework is not graded, but essential for success. Generally, passing the final will earn you a passing grade in the class. Still not an easy class or professor, but definitely worth taking.

Great Teacher, Helps you learn your algebra roots all over again, and he's sarcastic and funny professor and his teaching wakes you up. Great Math Teacher, one of favorite math professors here at city.

In my opinion he makes math fun because of his personality. He can come off as condescending. 5 problems on each chapter is graded out of like 30 problems, which makes it tough to get a good grade on HW. The test are similar to the reviews he provides. Overall he is a good teacher, he makes sure you understand. This class is not an easy A.

Joseph Steever was a tough professor, grades very hard, but he was also an amazing teacher in Math. He is funny and crude, but also gives very clear lectures! I never have been good at Math but he was the first professor that lectured until it made sense to the whole class. Great Professor but be ready to work hard.

Professor Steever was the best math teacher I ever have had. He broke down basic concepts so it was easy to understand and each week we would build on those skills. Before this class fractions were a nightmare for me, after I had them mastered. He also offered on many occasions to go over a test a didn't do well on, or would offer a time to review

I have severe math anxiety. Math and I have a long turbulent history, but taking math with Professor Steever helped so much. It made all the difference for me. He's very patient, gives tons of clear examples, and even spends the first 10 minutes of class going over homework problems that we didnt understand. I LOVE his teaching style! Take him!

One of the most hilarious professors Ive had. He makes fun of things to lighten to stress of the complexity of math. He takes time to answer questions and stops to ask student questions when we get stumped. Informative lectures and he provides office hours which are extremely helpful. Hes tough but if you apply yourself you can learn a lot!

Took him for 2 classes because he was pretty good the first time around; both during summer. Math is hard for me and he made it as simple as it could get. SCC math professors aren't the best but he's the most helpful of the ones I've had. He's funny and energetic, which made math less of a drag.

STUDY GROUP! Don't be afraid ask questions & go to office hours. GET THE BOOK. Take away: Hes here to help! Talk to him if you dont get something, slow him down to understand Classstressful/frustrating. Lectures different than homework Exams different than homework, 3 out of 5 were different formats. He used excel a lot, but we can't on exams.

I suggest meeting during office hours to get explanations of test results and homework questions. There are unlimited chances to get 100% on the homework assignments, which will help at the end of the semester. Steever replaces your lowest test score with your homework average. He's a funny guy, too.

The exams are very straightforward as long as you do your homework (very lenient with), study guide and follow his instructions. His teaching style has definitely changed. Looking to pass the course without stress I would definitely take his class. Also, he provides prerecorded lectures to watch. Good luck!

Funny Professor, Has lots of fun in this class! I would definitely take his classes again! He makes math fun and understandable in class, Goofs off with his class and doesn't mind being corrected in class. I don't understand the bad reviews. I highly enjoyed his class!

A difficult professor, but one worth taking, as you will learn the material thoroughly. Visit him in office hours if you need help! He will be very happy to help you; he really does care about his students. He also is an interesting person; he possesses voluminous knowledge on almost every subject you can think of. Work hard, and you will do well.

Professor Steever is undoubtedly one of the finest professors I've encountered at Sac City. He genuinely cares about his students, consistently trying to infuse humor and practicality into his lessons.

The final grade is determined by a breakdown of 65% for homework assignments with no strict deadlines and 35% for the final exam. This structure is particularly beneficial for those seeking a more flexible learning experience. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend his class to anyone aiming for a high grade.

In Fall 2022, I enrolled in Professor Sreever's Math 400 and earned an A. However, in Spring 2023, I took his Math 401 and received a D due to inadequate preparation for the final exam. During Summer 2023, I retook Math 401 and got a B. I would gladly recommend Professor Sreever's classes to anyone seeking guidance in the subject.

I took Prof Steever's summer calc II class. He made what is a difficult class for many fun and easier to follow. He made many jokes and gave us breaks mid lecture, as they were 3 hours long. He set aside personal time for us to stay after lecture and study for the final, because he really wanted everyone to pass. I would take him again.

He was an entertaining professor; his lectures were fun. HW could be time-consuming because some problems were never discussed in class. But the way that Professor Steever taught is that he aims toward students "understanding math" and not just being able to do the HW. But he was making the class possible to pass; you just have to do your part.

Seems to care about calculus and teaching it to those who want to learn. A bit abrasive and very sarcastic at times but never offensive and always answers any question thoroughly. Not going to hold your hand though and expects you to very much put in your own work or at the very least attend office hours if struggling. Is sometimes unresponsive.

Lectures went at a good pace, and he responds well to questions or concerns. As long as you communicate with him there shouldn't be any struggles to pass his class.

If i had to choose between a mr steever cup and World Peace, Tranquility, Absolute Totality, And Humanity's Eternal Renaissance i would choose the c Do your homework, but remember the final could have impossible questions so study for twice as long as you do homework
