Mr. Lane is a great math prof. I'm terrible at math and he definitely helped me through it. He gives an average amount of online and book homework. Tests aren't incredibly long, but they aren't incredibly hard either. Problems you see on the tests are the same questions you see in homework and in class notes except different numbers.

Terrible excuse of a teacher. Not helpful or clear on concepts during class or office hours what so ever. Rushes through material, and forces tests when class isn't readily prepared. Always late to class. Keeps you after class almost every day to make up for him being late. Doesn't answer questions clearly. Definitely wouldn't suggest this prof.

Mr. Lane is such a sweet teacher. He gives a few quizzes (not difficult), so make sure you go to class. If you struggle in math, ASK QUESTIONS. he will help you; some online homework which is fairly easy. he will give you credit if you work out problems/show work. knows what he is talking about. also post notes online. also drops lowest test grade!

Professor Lane is a decent calc professor. His in class examples aren't as hard as the mylabsplus or reviews. However, his reviews are pretty close to the test and he gives tons of bonus points! He could work on explaining things better, for some things I had to teach myself, but overall he isn't awful.

TAKE THIS MAN! He is a saint! I was nervous taking this class, but he did an amazing job of breaking down the material. Be respectful and go to class and ask questions! its only to benefit you. It does go fast because it is an 8-week course, but he does a great job of getting you prepared. Thank you so much Mr. Lane

Prof Lane is a solid teacher. He does put you in groups, and has an expectation for participation. Do your homework, and go to office hours if you need anything. He really appreciates it if you do. The homework and the test are very similar, do the test reviews they are also helpful. He's pretty chill, but don't leave your homework for the weekend!

I very much recommend to take him for any course. There is about 3-4 hw assignments per week which I didn't like. But you can answer them as much as you like until you get the grade you want. He posted the lectures online in case you miss a day. He also emails back very quickly. The material wasn't too tricky, and he did a great job of explaining.

I knew that an 8-week calc was going to be difficult. However, Prof Lane is always willing to help you understand the material leading up to each test. The class moves very fast, usually a test every week in a half, lots of homework, classwork, and a final that can replace the lowest test grade. Mr Lane will quickly respond to your emails.

Mr. Lane is such a good teacher !! He is always willing to help you, and responds quickly to emails. He replaces your lowest test grade with the final (if you scored higher). The final is multiple choice, and cumulative(other tests aren't). The only thing I did not like is that the review key only provides the answer, not how to get the answer.

IGNORE THE GOOD RATINGS!! They tricked me!! Don't rely on office hours for help bc he makes you feel dumb for asking questions. Have a full time tutor if you plan on making a A in this class. If you miss a class, you miss 2-4 lessons, so good luck. If you HAVE to take this course, the second you get confused figure it out bc everything stacks!

Mr. Lane fails to teach the material in a way that translates effectively to the homework or tests. The test reviews were absolutely useless; the keys to the review don't show any work at all, which would have helped a lot.

While Professor Lane was a good professor, he grades very harshly on tests and takes off points for very minor things. None of the tests were multiple choice. Tests also made up a large percentage of your overall grade, so you really need to do well on them even if you do the rest of the assignments. The material was easy though.

Having a wife and husband teaching the same math courses is a conflict of interest. Both weight tests at 50%,cover for each other's classes, and influence each other's teaching, leaving students unsure who's really in charge. Just like couples in offices,restaurants,or retail,it's a conflict here too.Professors should teach and grade independently.
