Mark NEELEY (not Neelay) is the best! But you have to want to learn in his class. It's not a coaster class. You must at least try. But he makes it fun; he has a great sense of humor. He's not like some old decrepit professor. He's cool about helping outside of class. Tests are easy, I've had worse.

You entire grade is based on 4 tests (including the final), all worth equal number of points. On a test, if you do the procedure properly, but mess up on the calculations, he'll give you 70-80% credit. If you pay attention in class every day and do at least some homework, the tests are pretty easy. Skip a class and it gets tough.

Neeley was great for differential equations. The fact that the majority of the grade is based on 4 exams may seem daunting, but the exams themselves are not overwhelmingly difficult. As long as you study and do the practice quizzes he hands out, you will do fine.

I had previously taken MAT122 with Mr. Neeley, and after that I knew I had to take him again. From my experience, he goes at a good pace for the other students and has an abundance of resources to make sure anyone can succeed if they put the work in. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had and by far the best math teacher I've ever had.

Great teacher, fair grader on tests. People complained about him getting annoyed with in class questions, but he has limited time to go over quite a bit of material and keeps regular office hours where he is always more than willing to help you. His tests are more difficult than the review lets on so be sure to go over harder problems. Recommended!

I was worried going into Calculus II because it has a reputation for being difficult. The biggest challenges were memorizing formulas and methods of integration. Prof. Neeley's lectures were very entertaining and he was clear about which topics were important to study for every exam. I'm looking forward to taking another one of of his classes.

I had this teacher during COVID virtually online. It actually wasn't bad. I thought he was a great teachers. retunes emails in a timely manor. Does go online during the day if you have any questions. Very reasonable. Test are all "take home". Not bad at all. I know some people probably think this but the test isnt on the "lock down".

Amazing lectures! Sometimes a tad bit fast-paced. Only graded by the 4 (maybe 3?) test, the final, and an extra credit project. But the tests were fair he never put any trick questions. He didn't give practice tests but always gave us a list from the book to look over, those were usually much harder than the tests ever got.

Class went as follows, he started writing on the board, he never stopped. If you have questions he'll always answer them, his office hours are great if you ever get stuck. The whole semester, you're learning different methods of solving a DE. The final is 8 pages each with 1 DE on it, pick a method and solve. This was my favorite class at MCC.
