What a great teacher!! If you have trouble in this subject he's the guy to see. suoer nice and very patient.
Wonderful teacher, he really helps you out when ever you need it. He treats you like your a real person. He is really fun and he really likes what he does. Most important when he teaches, you can understand him and actually complete your homework. :)
the best math teacher at coc. no doubt
He is a really nice guy and seems like he likes to teach but I thknk that this is his first time teaching an upper level class and he just basically reads the book to us. He doesnt really elaborate and give more examples.
He explains the material very clear. If anyone were to get lower than a B, then I would feel sorry for that person! =)
matt is the friendliest teacher you will ever meet. he is a cool guy, his test come right off the homework, the hwk is long but if you do it youll be fine. he is very helpful, he will explain until you understand and not get mad or anything.
The best math teacher, i failed it once before and he made the math so easy. He is a great teacher, if you want to pass and learn something take him!
best math teacher ive had. doesnt move on until u kno what is going on. tests are easy and doesnt waste time talking on other issues. loves the subject and will always be there to help you out. regular HW assignments which is normal and u leave his class knowing something!!!
Hes really nice, and really helpful, if you take notes and do your homework, you are sure to pass. But make sure you do ALL of your homework because it counts towards your grade!
Matt Teachout is an excellent math teacher. I was completely freaked out about having to take math 27 years after I graduated from high school, but he got me through it with no problems. He's kind and patient, and if you want to work, you'll get an A.
TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!! IF YOU ARE BAD AT MATH AND WANT TO PASS HE TEACHES GREAT. YOU MUST PUT EFFORT INTO THE CLASS BUT IF YOU STUDY YOU WILL PASS!!! EXCELLENT!
Very good teacher. I'm not in favor of cloning but it would be a good idea in this case. He is very good at explaining the material and then gives great examples. Confident enough to answer even esoteric math questions. His earnestness and caring come through in his lectures. A teacher's teacher.
He was very patient,very helpful and explained things simply so it was easy to understand.
good teacher!! Helps a lot!!! He is really chill too
Great teacher. I had to take 060 TWICE so I was dreading 070 but with this instructor he made the material very easy to understand and came across as someone who is actually interested in helping the students. I highly reccomend him.
He's the best teacher I've had so far. He's cool. Lessons are clear, he gives a lot of examples. His tests are easy as long as you do your homework and classwork. He's really helpful, if you're having trouble with something, just ask him, he'll help you out. I loved his class. If you're dreading math, take him, he'll make it easy for you.
Matt is the best teacher I have ever taken. He is trustworthy and grades correctly. You can tell he loves teaching. Explains everything step by step and gives lots of time for homework. Very patient and clear. I usually am horrible at math and hate it, but taking him has changed my perspective. If you get the chance I strongly advice taking him.
he is a wonderful teacher. He actually enjoys teaching his subject and he's very patient with students like me who can't grasp math concepts very quickly.
Patient man. He is GREAT!!!
I've taken 060, 070, and 140 with him. He is a really great math teacher and he's super nice. He gives you all the equations that you're going to need so that you have them with you for the exam, and never need to memorize them. You only need to know how to use them which is great for people like me who struggle at math. He really is the best!
Such a good teacher laid back and a really nice person, i recomend taking him he's challenging but fair so you earn you grade but he makes you want a good grade.
Great teacher! Very helpful & willing to clarify and make things more clear. Fair tests--takes problems directly from hw. Definitely recommend this teacher!
He is very patient and helpful. He will explain a problem until you understand it, and has no problem answer any amount of hw questions. There are no dumb questions in his class, and he won't make you feel dumb if you forget what 2+2 is. There is hw questions assigned nightly, but you start them in class as class work. Overall easy teacher!
He is very helpful&makes sure he answers your question completely. Winter classes are fast-paced, but easy to get through. He gives hw&classwork points that could bring your grade down if you don't turn in or attend class regularly. Very good teacher.
Good teacher, explains things pretty well. Does A LOT of review before the tests, but doesn't really answer questions while lecturing
Mr. Teachout is the best Math instructor. Great experience Explains hard concepts well. If you want a good foundation in math this is the instructor to select.
I dont care for math and he made it very simple to pass the tests. Take notes and its easy
hes amazing! i had a lot of hard times in this class because the material is tough itself but teachout helpes SO MUCH. i highly advise to take him for any math class available
He is probably one of the best teachers... If you dont understand he will go over it as many times for you to understand. He's really clear on what he wants on the test which is usually all the examples in the notes you take. Love him he's a sweetheart.
Probably one of the best math teachers that I have ever had. He is very patient and clear when he teaches. He gives great examples and makes sure you understand before moving on. would highly recommend!!!!!
Best teacher ever. I didn't like math before I took him and now I do. He explains things clearly, goes over it and always asks if anyone has questions. Very eager to help anyone. Had him in Summer, next semester I waited outside his door for twenty minutes so I could add him because his class was already full. Wish I could take him for every class!
Great teacher. I actually got an A in math for the first time in my life because of him. VERY PATIENT&HELPFUL. I took him for Winter 07. It's tough taking a math class during Winter, but it didn't turn out bad at all, as I thought it would be. Got through it with an A.
Prof. Teachout has got to be the most sincere professor that walks around the COC campus. He strives to help his students. He spends a lot of time reviewing before the tests and he grades fairly too! Math 103 is generally a hard class but if you take it with this professor and you come to class, you'll do just fine.
I was dreading statistics, but prof. teachout made it very tolerable. He goes over everything very clearly, step by step. There are no surprises on his and he is a very fair grader. He is willing to meet outside of class to give extra help and he is an all around great teacher. I highly recommend him, especially if math is not really your thing.
Mr Teachout is a great teacher. I was nervous about taking math but he made the class so easy to understand. HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!! He cares about his students and is very helpful
Mr. Teachout is an amazing teacher. His lectures and tests are easy. He tells you what will be on every test. He's super nice and always offering his help. I missed alot of class and still managed to get a B as long as I turned in my homework and took the tests. Take him, he's awesome!!!
Prof. Teachout is GREAT for math! He explains things so clearly and is really nice. Tests are fair, and he is a more than fair grader - he'll give you partial credit if you get part of a problem right. Take him!!
I took his class for 058 and am taking his summer 060 class. I plan on taking 070 and 140 from him as well because I dread having to take math from anyone other than Professor Teachout. He is the kindest man and I understand how much his faith impacts his life and all those around him. He is an example to the other COC Professors and all students!
I have taken Mr Teachout for 2 semesters now. He is a great teacher. I am very disappointed that he will not be teaching 070 in the fall.
He is, without a doubt, the best math professor I?ve ever had. He is patient, clear with his lectures, fair, sweet and a wonderful personality. I enjoyed the class and highly recommend him!!! I?ve never written a review for any professor but he is worth every minute of my time. If you are bad in math or want to overcome a fear of math he is the pro
He is wonderful! He is one very patient and understanding man. We should all protest that he's not able to teach 070 in fall 08. If you struggle in Math, but are determined to get a passing grade, TAKE TEACHOUT! He will do anything to help you understand the material.
Very good teacher. I took him for 058 and 060. Very good at returning e-mails. Very patient and fair with grading and testing. He was the first teacher to make me understand word problems!
He is the best math teacher. He tells you from the start what you need to pass his class and he explains everything until everyone is clear. Take this teacher if you've failed algebra in the past. If you don't complete assigned homework you will NOT pass.
This guy really knows his math. He teaches almost every math subject there is. Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Calculus...etc. He is amazing. He is clear with his lectures/examples. He really wants you to pass. He will answer questions during breaks or will probably cram that question you have during lectures. H/W is alot/tedious, but thats how it.
This guy knows what he's doing and every minute if his class is fair game so don't leave early! He makes use of his time well so that even when he finished early you get class time to do homework!
HES GREAT TEACHER AND REALLY CARES FOR EVERYONE. HOMEWORK IS A MUST ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE END IT CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE FROM A OR B. AS LONG AS YOU TAKE NOTES YOU SHOULD DO PRETTY WELL ON THE EXAMS. HE IS A FAIR GRADER.HES ALSO VERY SWEET AND LOVES MATH. HE HAS A REAL GIFT FOR TEACHING
Great teacher! Really likes and know what he is teaching. He's very helpful and he actually cares how the students are doing. His test are straight forward, just review the notes and you'll be fine. The final was extremely easy. Best math teacher I've ever had.
He is the best math teacher alive. He is so helpful and he REALLY does want you to understand the material. Even though there is a lot of HW it will help you and if you do well on the tests then the final is a breeze.
Great teacher. He is totally willing to go over all homework in class and explains formulas and directions so it is actually understandable.
PROFESSOR TEACHOUT IS THE BEST PROFESSOR ALIVE! It doesn't matter if you are good or aren't good at math, you'll pass his class! I've taken 060, 070, and 140 with him and gotten A's in all of them! He knows his math and has a great way of explaining concepts to students. He also won't move on unless everyone understands, which is nice!
This man is just wonderful. I took 070 and 103 with him, and he's the only reason I didn't fail both of them. He's kind, clear and helpful, and he is such a fair grader. He gives partial credit for wrong answers. He clearly loves what he's doing and cares so much about his students.
Really great teacher and the best math teather ive ever had. He really makes it seem easy and is super nice!
He is such a helpful teacher and will go to extremes to help you learn. He is also very organized and clear in his teaching.
awesome teacher.. he was extremely clear throughout the entire semester. TAKE HIM
Very helpful, cares deeply about student's success. Goes over problems as many times as needed. The class was not easy but he really worked with students to make sure they got it. I definitely recommend him.
Prof Teachout is amazing, not only is he the best math teach at COC he isnt half bad to stare at for 2 hours. I failed math 060 a year ago and was dreading my second try...and without a doubt Matt teaches math clear because he KNOWS his stuff..if you dont understand he finds a million ways to exaplin it and he genuwinely cared about his students.
This is a the best Math teacher you will ever have. He is kind, helpful, repectful, and patient. He deserves to be treated the same. And I'm not even done with the class yet. You will walk out of his class understanding what was taught, one teacher that wants you to learn and not try to make you mess up.
Hes by far the best teacher ive ever had. hHes very clear and goes over everything more then once so you wont get lost.Homework is very easy and if you need help he has very good office hours.I hate math and i actually got was he was trying to teach. He made me like math.
I took matt for a pal class which is both math 60 and 70. He is the GREATEST teacher I have ever had. He really cares and tries his best to make you understand. Do your homework and go to class everyday it counts as points towards your grade! Tests are easy if you do the homework. RECOMMENDED math teacher forsure
Although the 060/070 pace class is a lot of work, I owe my success to Mr. T's great teaching style. There is a great deal of homework, but it really prepares you for his exams. Mr. T offers a great deal of out of class office hours. I would suggest this teacher for anyone who struggles with math!
Yea math 25 was simple but teachout knew what to teach and how to teach it. I mean the man knows his stuff really well... HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. IF HE TEACHES THE SAME WAY HE TEACHES MATH 25...YOU WILL PASS WITH AN A OR B in the class....gauranteed unless u dont do ur work of course.
Very professional, always available for office hours. Polite and respectful. Very thorough and incredibly organized. Superior, not easy though. Tests really count for entire grade, homework counted for very little.
Very good teacher. Clear and helpful. His tests tend to be tough. Especially the final.
Teachout is a really good math teacher. I would recommend attending every class because I missed one day and that put me behind on the whole chapter. But he is good and will always answer any questions clearly. He will always go over the hw just incase you have questions and he will go over whatever question you ask him too. Overall, good teacher.
I had Mr. Teachout for Stats. and he is the best math teacher I have had by far. He is clear, helpful, and so nice! I'm not great at math but Mr. Teachout is so helpful and I had a high B throughout the whole semester. This is my first time writing a rating for a teach since that is how good he really is! TAKE HIM
I hate math & he made this Stats class very easy to understand. I even shocked myself with how much improvement I had week to week. I would recommend him to everyone, especially if you find math difficult.
Do not expect does not do the homework and pass his class. His test is based on his lectures, take good notes will help you a lot. also do the homework will give you the general idea for the general statistic theories. If you have any questions, Please asking him, he will help you. Good luck!
he is a great teacher. he will stop the class ad make sure you understand.i would recommend doing the homework be cause it can make or break your grade and going to class is very important.he reminds me of Billy Mays(oxyclean guy) with out the shouting when he lectures.he is overall a great teacher
This teacher is awesome he Teaches clearly, always there to help you with a question or concern, very friendly and explains everything clearly and goes over the same question as many time until you get it. He grades fair and even if you try a problem on a test he will give you credit based on the work you show.
Mr. Teachout is the PERFECT definition of a PERFECT teacher. He is VERY fair with tests, he doesn't surprise you with some random crap out of no where(as do ALL math teachers). If u do not understand anything he is so helpful and doesn't make you feel degraded or anything! I hate math but the way he teaches, he makes everything very clear!
Fabulous class/professor. He is very helpful, and has great office hours. Willing to help you on a daily basis. Tests are very straight to the point, teaching is clear!!! Take this professor if you want to pass the class, and be willing to do your best! I loved this class!! Highly recommended professor!!!
Mr. Teachout is a GREAT teacher!! He makes math seem super easy!! The first time ive understand everything in math! he uses the book alot and he does give alot of homework everyday but its not that many problems! you do have to attend class most of the time because the classwork counts alot in your grade. test are easy if you study. super chill!
Best teacher ever! Math is my worst subject, but he made me want to succeed in the class and made math super easy! You have to attend every class and complete homework to pass! Loved him!
NICE TEACHER
Very helpful professor who really cares about the success - and also intelligence - of his students. I took a 5-week summer course, but I still think I have a strong grasp of trigonometry after taking his class. Answers any homework questions the following day of their being assigned, and if you do the homework (correctly), you'll pass the test.
Doesn't try to trick you on the test like some math teachers. Tests were just like the HW. Awesome Math Teacher.
He is the best math teacher at C.O.C. So helpful in class and is a very kind person. He made everything crystal clear. I cant express how much he helped me. Tests are fairly easy and gives homework but its not excessive. you will be very lucky to have him as a teacher
Great teacher, connects with you on a personal level. Teachout makes math simple, and his tests are based on the H.W.I took him over winter and he managed to still dedicate a review day before the test. Altough, getting him as a professor is tough.
SUPER NICE! SUPER HELPFUL! I absolutely hate math, and he really gave me a better understanding of math in general! He's awesome!
Best math teacher! He is VERY clear and extremely efficient. I was blessed to have him in Math 025 and Math 058. I got an A. All you have to do is get the homework done and keep up attendance. Exams are exactly like the homework and not tricky. Definitely recommend him.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! He is super nice, helpful, and fun. Answers every question. lucky to have him as a teacher.
I absolutely love Professor Teachout! He is the BEST math teacher I have had while attending COC, he's very clear, helpful, and really nice, very approachable. I highly recommend taking him, I dont think I would have passed stats if I had another teacher!the hmwk is manageable and the test are very much like the hmwk. TAKE HIM!u wont regret it!
This guy was a sweetheart. His teaching style was awesome. Ifyou take his PAL course make sure you show up everyday, and he'll pass you. You really have to try to fail this class.
This guy was a sweetheart. His teaching style was awesome. Ifyou take his PAL course make sure you show up everyday, and he'll pass you. You really have to try to fail this class.
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. I high recommend him. He is the sweetest man ever and truly cares about his students. He is amazing at teaching and is very well organized for PAL courses. His reviews are perfect for test and homework is not too much and not too little. You will pass this class, make sure you show up everyday and put effort :)
He is a kind and caring teacher who is always willing to help. Do not take advantage of his good nature! As long as you show up for class all the time and show effort you will do well. Text book is online and FREE! He makes algebra and statistics easy; which is mind blowing. Best math professor you can take hands down! Worth doing the PAL program!
the best teacher on planet earth!he is not a disappointment!!! take his class!!! with him it is really easy!!!
I would highly recommend Professor Teachout. He was very helpful and was just a very cool, down to earth guy. He gives you a lot of opportunities to improve your grade. I struggled throughout the class and wasn't even sure I'd make it, but I did. He really wants you to sucheed and is willing to help in any way he can.
Great Professor! Goes slow and explains things really well. he answers all questions with patience. If you come to class and do the homework and come to class its and easy A. Test are really straight forward and he reviews right before the test. Book is free, online! took him over summer and did not struggle at all, great professor!
Awesome Teacher. Very Straightforward. Took him over summer and got an A. Amazing Teacher and tests are easy ony if you pay attention in calss and do the classwork. Its lot of work but rewarding
PAL class. At first, you'll be overwhelmed by the amount of work and "omg, the projects are going to be hard!" No. They're all easy once you go through it with him. He's obsessed with statistics -- even the history of math wtf. I love his style of teaching...he makes everything EASY. Take him, you won't regret a PAL class with him.
This teacher is very caring and will help you in what ever math problem you need, so patient, made me feel very confident. Best teacher I have had.
He is a Great Teacher! Super nice and very efficient. I was very nervous to take a PAL class but with him as a teacher I dont know why I should have been worried. Describes everything very well plus he's very easy to talk to if you need extra help. Very sweet and really cares about his students. Its a lot of work but with Teachout, its all good!
Having introductory stats (5 week winter sesh) w/ Prof. Teachout was a gift from the math gods! He explains things REALLY well the first time, & if you need help, he is patient & kind about it. He takes the time to connect w/ you on a student-teacher level. He's a very knowledgable professor and if you have the opportunity to take him, DO IT!!!!!!!
Having Mr.Teachout as my teacher for math was an absolute joy! He was always willing to help you when you needed it, funny and taught in a way that was actually easy to understand and grasp, Im def. looking forward to his next classes. I highly suggest taking him if you can.
Matt Teachout (too-show) is a master teacher. He'll make stats interesting and help you every step of the way. He teaches short term classes, which are never easy, but he makes them worth it. TAKE HIM.
Teachout is an awesome Professor!! He explains everything and answers every single question even if hes repeated it a million times. He also says everything that will be on the test and really teaches Stats wonderfully.. plus hes hot!
He is the best math professor I have ever had. He is so patient and makes sure everyone understands before moving forward. Can't wait to take his other PAL classes!
Professor Teachout (too-show) was a wonderful professor! He took away the fear of math and fractions. There was a lot of homework/classwork (it was a short session class) and attendance was a MUST. He is VERY informative and made sure to take the time after class to explain the material (if you needed it). I HIGHLY recommend taking him if you can.
The absolute best math professor. I have never understood math so well until now. I took his PAL classes and I though they would be hard but he made them quite easy. I highly suggest you take him.
I was super nervous about taking math especially with it being a pal class. Mr.Teachout was awesome very patient and doesn't mind helping you in class and after class.He gives plenty of points for attending class so try not to miss a day. I recommend him and will be taking his next pal class??????
Comments below, for the most part, are accurate. You don't have to be "into" math to enjoy this PAL class. His teaching method is seamless. He enjoys what he does, and that is a huge plus for students who fear math. I for one, thought this class was going to be unbearable. However, he made it enjoyable and I have learned so much thus far.
You would be a fool NOT to take his class. Crystal clear, passionate, more than fair, and truly invested in his students. Don't be fooled, it is a heavy work load, and studying outside of class is a must, but he gives you every tool to be successful. The semester will fly by and you will be so proud of yourself for what you accomplished
Great at explaining, and takes his time for any questions! Always willing to help out the students!
Professor Teachout is amazing! I wish he could teach every subject. I was very nervous going into the 025058 PAL, but his style of teaching is absolutely seamless. He explains things very well and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. If you are stuck, do not hesitate to ask for help, he will be glad to help you. TAKE HIM if you can!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Professor Teachout. I really enjoyed his 075140 PAL class. He really knows his stuff and is very passionate about teaching statistics. His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. Lots of test, but he really prepares you for them. We had an online book, which was a plus. You will love him!
I have never gotten better than a C in all of my mathematical career in school. But I came out with an A! I was so happy, because I worked my butt off in this class. This professor is the best teacher; he is clear, gives great lectures, and uses all forms of media to help you out. Just ask questions through email or in person and understand all hw.
Had him for the PAL program and he is the best. Goes through everything with the class to make sure you understand it. Writes the formulas needed for the test on the board with what questions they go with. Is very easy to talk to and ask for help. Very clear with each of his lessons. Goes over HW & test questions every class.
Teachout is one of the nicest and most inspirational professors I've had. Truly has a passion for teaching. Be appreciative of all the hard work he puts into teaching you lessons. Lots of homework but really prepares you for the tests. Very clear lessons IF YOU PAY ATTENTION ask questions, and participate. Study guides EXTREMELY helpful & he's hot.
He's pretty young for a professor and it shows in his class. His lectures are unorganized and kind of all over the place. "Group work" is every day after lecture and it is 15% of your grade so if you miss class you miss points and it starts to add up. He is very monotone so if you don't like that you will most likely go insane. Homework is big too.
One of the best professors i've ever had. Went into the PAL expecting it to be tough, but he made it easy and relatable. he gives plenty of examples and goes over every test and homework assignment you have questions on. very clear in grading criteria as well. accepted late work up until the day of the final. he is passionate about his job!!
Best math teacher ever loved his notes and his character. easy going understanding, not a harsh grader. you will learn math easily.
A great teacher who will go the extra mile to help you out, for as long as you seek it. I am going to take again for pal in the spring.
Great teacher! I use to barely pass my math classes, but I passed both 075 and 140 with an A! Class attendance is required so you don't fall behind. He reviews the day before the test and even day of if necessary. Will except late work, sometimes for half credit though, you get points for showing up each day. His test aren't super hard.
Great teacher my man
My math skills were in serious need of brushing up; Professor Teachout was an amazing teacher, and cared about his students understanding the material. I've never before had a math professor I would recommend so highly. Classwork is on the heavy side, but whatever you do not finish just becomes homework. Finish it daily, and get an easy A.
Great professor, have never been great at math but this class was very understandable and he explains everything in lots of detail and in various ways so you can understand it. I was not a huge fan of the homework due for the online textbook.
If you want to pass Statistics, enroll with Teachout. He is able to break down the material in a way that is understandable. The class has 4 exams, 1 project, and a final. There isn't too much homework. He will answer questions in the beginning of each class, and even review on the day of each exam. One of the best math professors at COC!
He really cares for his students and how well they do. Teachout has a lot of notes online that are useful, he goes over the information that will be on his tests. The tests are mostly multiple choice.
Great professor. Honestly the best math professor I've ever had. I have never been a math person and I passed this class with a solid A. Show up, pay attention and do the OLI assignments. My. Teachout wants you to learn and do well. Ask if you need help, he really wants to see his students succeed.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Teachout makes Statistics so easy to understand as long as you show up to class. He also gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit and will make sure you understand the topic if you have any questions
Why didn't I take Statistics earlier? Professor Teachout is the greatest professor ever. I took his 8 week course : oli asssignments, affective domain activities, 1 presentation(you present to your classmates not in front of class) 4 exams, and 1 final. TAKE HIM! He makes stats fun and understanding. Enjoyed this class. STUDYING IS A MUST!
Highly recommended. Professor M. Teachout is very familiar with the topics discussed in any of his classes. He actually teaches Math in an environment that the student learns and desires to learn. Every students well-earned points in quizzes, or written assignments, or exams is an opportunity to learn at the same pace with Matt's lectures.
I took his course and I was so inspired. He has homework, classwork, one presentation, four exams and one final exam. You have to show to class to get participation points. He has all his lectures online. He has study guides for exams. The homework online is multiple choice. Gives out articles. He is understanding if you communicate with him.
I took Prof Teachout over a year ago. I'm currently in a stats class at UCLA with 250 students. I'm soo glad that Teachout gave me a good foundation about stats and I'm currently ahead of my peers because of his class. I now have a true appreciation for his style of teaching compared to my current UCLA professor who isn't very good at it.
Matt Teachout is hands down the best math teacher/professor I've ever had. He really cares about the students and makes sure every single one of us understands the material. He simplifies the material so that it is easy to understand. A book was not necessary which saves money and posts the notes online for review.
Hands down the greatest teacher ever. This guy knows his stuff and he really makes sure his students understand it too. I wish this guy would train all the other teachers on how to do their jobs. We get teachers now a days that just don't care about their students or there success, so its a real treat to get him as a teacher.
AMAZING TEACHER 100% Wants all his students to understand the lectures. All questions are answered in a clear and very understanding way. Group PROJECTS ARE FUN AND EASY. Very patient, confident, caring, informative, funny, soft spoken. This teacher knows his stuff, Looking forward to Stats 140!
If I was able to tag all the amazing things about him, I would. If I was able to write an essay about him, I would! He is the best professor I have taken. He went above and beyond for the class. He respected every single person. He truly cared. He returned tests on the next day. He made a 4/5 week class thats 3 hours M-F FLLLYY by!
Professor Teachout is a wonderful teacher, he's caring and inspirational. He is adamant about attendance. Therefore, if you attend class regularly and take notes, you will absolutely pass his class. Also, you don't have to purchase a book for his class which is a plus. It was an honor to be his student.
Mr. Teachout really knows how "to show". He is the kindest teacher I've ever had. I've never had a teacher who cared as much as he does. I love his philosophy of the "growth mindset". He believes that all his students are capable of doing well in mathematics if they apply their energy to adapting to change.
THIS MAN SETS YOU UP FOR SUCCESS. His class is structured so well! He makes concepts easy to understand. His homework isn't bad at all. He provides study guides for exams and he collects late assignments! I think he only does short-term now, but it's so worth it. We need more professors like him! YOU ROCK TEACHOUT.
Such a nice, patient, and caring professor. He wants to see his students do well, so if you are actually looking to pass, you can be sure that you will. Show up, and the concepts are all pretty easy - he makes the uncomplicated, clear, and as easy to remember as possible. His tests are mainly vocabulary and really easy. Mainly study in-class notes!
I took Prof Teachouts 8 week class Math 140. Math is my weakest subject but his lectures made me understand the material. Enthusiastic voice, helpful, and accessible outside of class. He wants you to pass the class, all you have to do pay attention in class. Whatever is on the study guides, are on the tests, nothing is a surprise. Great Teacher!
I took his accelerated class and I was able to get an A in both classes! This man is the definition of a perfect teacher, he makes everything clear and is willing to help every student who wants to learn. He is the easiest teacher to get a hold of as well! I use to hate math but he made me love it!
I had Teachout for my Math 075/140 PAL class and he was amazing! He was encouraging all throughout the semester and made sure that every single person was able to understand what was being taught. He always goes over test material before exams which is extremely helpful! Very caring, accessible, and kind! An all around amazing professor and person!
Best Math Professor I ever had in my life! I suck at math and Prof. Teachout guides you step by step to actually understand it and make it easy! He really cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. Just show up to class and you'll pass with an A! (I even made this account just to rate him specifically thats how good he is)
Hes patient & makes sure you leave with clarity & understanding. I dont think Ill be lucky enough to have another professor like that during my college experience. Make sure you go to class as much as possible. The books free and he wrote it! If you put even half the effort into being a good student as he does an amazing professor. Youll pass.
Professor Teachout is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I am not good at math but I took his PAL 75/140 and he is super helpful and helps you out a lot. I definitely recommend taking him!
I loved taking this class with Teachout. Stats is not at easy course, but the way he taught it made it easy. As long as you study, turn in all your work before the semester ends, and show up to class everyday, youll be fine. i missed class about 4 times, and i regret it because i missed so much information, but i studied and made up for it.
I have never passed a math class i only tested into stats because of my major. hands down best teacher. ever. I finally passed a math class.
By far, the best professor I've taken! Lots of busy work but that it what makes you learn the material. He is very caring and understanding. Show up to class and you'll pass no problem. He allows late work, allows you to redo projects for a better grade. An overall laid back professor. I cant say enough good things about him. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
If you show up to class and do all the homework, you will get an A in this class. Prof. Teachout allows you to turn in late work whenever you want and get full credit. There is a lot of work in this class, but he's the best.
Matt is a wonderful professor. He's incredibly helpful and he wants students to understand the material. Just be careful if you're taking the short term class, it flies by incredibly fast and he covers anywhere between 1-4 units every day, so if you miss class, you'll definitely be lost.
All-around great guy and teacher
I loved taking math 140 with him. I took the 8 week accelerated course. He helps you out whenever you are in need and has a very clear teaching style. There is a group project that is split up in to three parts and I had a difficult time with it, but he took time out of his day to help me out and make sure I received a good grade on it.
Took Professor Teachout during winter, 5 week class. Very intense and fast paced learning, but his lectures are understandable and the way he conducts his assignments allows you to actual learn the material and understand. Very great on feedback & hw. He wants you to learn not just pass! Recommend 10/10!!!
He is one of a kind! Super easy to follow his lectures. Hes very clear and helpful when youre stuck. He is a true caring professor whom I recommend to anyone taking stats. The exams arent bad at all. If I could pass with an A while going through a crisis during the winter then so can you!
Matt Teachout is the best math instructor I've ever had. I never thought in a million years I would ever enjoy a math class but he makes it interesting and easy to understand. He genuinely wants his students to succeed. He responds very quickly to emails and he was always available outside of lecture hours. He is the best!
Great professor. He really cares about his students and wants you to understand the material. Well organized lectures and super helpful.
He literally sets you up to succeed. Class/homework and participation points are given as long as you don't come late or leave early. If so, you have to make up the activities you missed during that timeframe. Extra credit is given through unlimited chances of fixing mistakes on the group project. The only thing that really sucks is the stairs!!!
Professor Teachout is an incredible stats professor. If you show up to class and pay attention youll do well on the tests and get an A. Since the class was 2.5 hours I got my hw done in class every day. Theres three parts to a project you do over the semester and theyre not difficult if you follow the directions. Overall I had a great experience
I get why people like him but he isn't the be all end all. His approach didn't work for me. Luckily, there are other professors so when I have to retake I can find someone else. He's okay but test it out for yourself and drop before the deadline so its not too late!
He is literally the BEST professor here at COC! Just take him you won't regret it. He will make you work for your grade and will help if you're stuck in a problem. Also, Professor Teachout is very nice!
Very stressful to take for short term class. Teachout knows how to teach but does not know how to translate it to an accelerated class. TWO exams in one week people. TWO. Right before spring break so it's also when all your full term classes have midterms. He was clueless that this may stress us out. Tests DO NOT equal teaching. Please change it
Literally the best math teacher I've ever had. He has a huge review the day before tests and tells you exactly what to expect. He really cares and wants everyone to do well and focuses on making sure everyone understands the concept. He even lets you turn in late work and has extra credit. Best grade I've ever gotten in a math class at COC!
Math is not my strong suit. I am also a part of the DSPS program because learning is quite difficult for me. I asked my councilor about professors that would be a good fit and recommended him. You will pass if you try. If you forget to turn your hw in, no worries because you can turn them in anytime. Easy pass if you pay attention and don't slack.
I'm not good at math but had mr. teachout for stattistics and he made it more clear than my HS teachers did. I really enjoyed it more than expected. Not gonna change my major or anything but he changed my mind on what was my least fave subject. Thanks mr T :)
There was a lack of respect I noticed for students that were struggling. He was nice to me until I asked a couple questions and after I noticed he became frustrated with my questions. I shouldn't feel scared to ask the teacher to help which is his job. The tests aren't even about the math learned in class, but the history of it. Don't risk this!!!
I took this class math has always been the least of my favorites. This class was great the teacher is amazing well prepared. Helps you as much as he can. If you try u will pass. Dont think he deserves the bad reviews he has dont seem true to me. Take his class!!
I took him for a short term Math 140. He is very helpful. You only have to turn in homework if you don't go to class so I recommend going because the homework is pretty hard. He helps you if you have questions and really wants you to do well.
The material for the class is not hard, but if you are confused, he will become frustrated and rude if you ask more than one question. The tests have 25% math and 75% useless history info questions. He has an attitude with people that are lost and thats not a good teacher. Try anther teacher that will care about and motivate you to get a good grade
I've never gotten higher than a C in a COC math class, but I breezed by with an A in a subject I really struggle with. Teachout does an AMAZING job of explaining concepts clearly and ensures you understand. Dude just cares about students learning and doesn't expect everyone to be a math expert so he breaks down concepts to build your knowledge.
He was not helpful or a good teacher AT ALL! He was so rude and condescending when you would ask for his help. He encourages you to ask questions but don't because he will make you feel bad for even wasting his time. Most of your grade comes from tests, and most of the lecture material isn't even on it other than random historical facts.
as long as you do not skip class and do your homework you will do well in the class. he was not condescending to me when i would ask him questions, he genuinely cared and wanted us to understand the topic. do not, i repeat, do not wait until last minute to turn anything in. you will be behind and it will be hard to catch up. do not miss class eithe
He gave us one group project (3 parts), 4 tests, and no homework unless you skipped class but he did have journals almost every class. You could really turn in your work whenever before the semester ended, it didn't really matter. He's really good at explaining things and the tests were pretty easy, just don't ask too many questions & you'll b fine
Prof. Teachout is honestly a nice guy & all he wants to do is to make you understand the topics hes talking about. Even tho I passed with a C & this is coming from someone whos not even good in math all you have to do is study, do your work, & participate. Do all that & youll be fine.
He's really mellow and wants the class to be easy for his students. He takes a ton of time to help his students and gives lots of time for tests. He reviews the prior chapters for a while before the test and is very lenient on when you turn in homework. The homework is just a few sentences summarizing what you learned.
Teachout is a great professor for Statistics. He will answer any questions you have and will make sure you succeed in this class. Consists of 4 exams and 1 final, with 1 group project. As long as you show up to every class possible, he gives you classwork and homework points in class. He does give you journal assignments that are very easy.
If you think you're bad at math and you think you're gonna fail, then you should definitely take him. I was so worried walking into this math class that I was gonna fail, but he made everything really clear. I f you have any questions, he won't make you feel bad like other professors. Best professor for stats hands down! take him:)
So fare everything, been going well in his class. Now it's only halfway through the course, but I can say he really does care about his students. His online website helps a lot. Even though COVID- 19 has shut everything down he still working hard posting videos and asking if you need help. He keeps everything nice, and organized, and understand.
He is so sweet and will answer any and all questions you have! You need to study to do well on tests, but he tells you what you need to know before hand. Great teacher and great class!
Truly one of the best professors/teachers I've ever had. If you have questions he really helps make sure you understand and breaks it down. He made the transition from an in person class to online really smooth. He was very attentive and got back to you asap. Overall just a great professor.
Teachout takes the difficulty of statistics and simplifies it for the common man. He is a skilled teacher who will work with you to ensure comprehension. Great guy. Fantastic teacher. Highly reccommend
I only get Cs in math but I finsihed this class with an A, 10/10 recommend
I took his class as an online summer class There was a lot of homework and a test for each week. He gives full credit for the homework as long as it is completed but grades really tough on the tests. Overall he is pretty good and his website is set up perfectly so you know where to find everything. Math is not my thing but I did pretty well.
I took intro stats as an online 5 week class. It was super manageable and Prof Teachout was very organized. The lectures were Youtube videos he posted and the homework was from his textbook online (free). 3 tests, a final, and a project. The tests were easy and were short answer. The project was simple and straightforward. Would recommend 100%!!!
Amazing class. Super straightforward. He sets you up for success. Listen to the other reviews for July 2020 if youre taking online. Seriously take this class, no regrets. I sent him so many emails and questions and he always had a helpful reply.
Aside from being a kind and caring person, Professor Teachout truly wants to help you learn. Yes, this is a required class. And yes, a lot of people do not like math. But TAKE MATT! If you care enough to try, you will do well.
Took him during quarantine of Spring 2020, he's a very nice professor and helped us adjust to online learning. Before we went remote, he always let us do homework in class, and made Stats very understandable. He put up video lectures that were very helpful when we went remote, and there was a bit of homework but it was doable. Take him!
Took professor Teachout during the summer/ COVID he was amazing. He lectures through YouTube videos and the book used is his own. He is super caring, patient, and understanding. Math isn't my favorite but he made it worth taking. Offers examples for the homework and tests. He gives you plenty of information to do well. Take him you won't regret it!
Mr. Teachout is a great stats teacher to take. I took his course during quarantine and all of his online lectures are clear and easy to understand. He is homework heavy, but understanding if you could not complete 1-2 problems. Project is easy, tests are easy as long as you take good notes. Wish I could have had him in person.
For all my covid folks, there are no mandatory zoom meetings!! The lectures are all on youtube, which are very short and straightforward. The homework and tests are pretty simple for the most part as long as you watch the lectures. He is a very nice and helpful teacher, and so I don't see how you cannot get an A.
Great teacher. He provides great notes and lectures that are easy to understand. There are Unit tests that you should have no problem passing if you watch the lectures and do the work. His grading is easy, as long as you try the work, you'll get full credit. There's a project that's super easy to do as well.
Took him during COVID over the fall, he is truly the best professor I have ever had. His lecture videos were easy to understand. He even provides add. youtube vid's to guide you through h.w problems. So kind and understanding. Tests are not difficult as long as you study his practice guides provided. I hate math but didn't hate this class. Take him
Professor Matt Teachout is the best professor! Lectures are amazing and can be found on his youtube channel. Textbook is free and supplements the video lectures. He responds quickly to emails. HW is not a lot and gets done quickly. Tests are not difficult as long as you study the lecture videos/notes & TB. Understanding vocab & theory is crucial!!
I highly recommend taking this professor, you won't regret it. Your grade mostly consists of 3 exams, a project, and a final. The hw is just plain work, you'll get full credit if you do it, however, it is great practice. The exams are fairly easy, as it is mostly on vocab. His lectures are very clear and understanding, and they are all on youtube.
I don't think I'll ever have a better math professor than this one, and this is the first math class I have taken so far. I don't know if it is me, but he makes stats look so much easier, even though this is an Intro to Stats class. He also gives good feedbacks on every assignment you turn in and he encourages you to do well.
Teachout is one of the most amazing professors you could have to teach you statistics! He has lecture videos for you to watch and follow along with notes that are very clear and concise to understand! He made this course feel so easy; I found that I did really well on every test because of him. You won't regret it, take him!!
Prof. Teachout is GOATed! I suck at Math but I passed his statistic class with an A and that was the best grade I ever received in a math class. His YouTube lectures are so clear & easy to understand it literally carry u through the class.
All you need to know is to watch the lectures!! They're well constructed and easy to understand. Tip: Print the blackboard notes and take notes from it from the lecture! It really does help visually when you try to understand the topic. The homework has some work involved, but the exams will be easy, easier than the hw. Just do your usual work.
Watch notes and listen to the lectures. Print the Blackboard notes because it really does help!! Just be consistent with the notes and do the work!! There will be 4 exams. Final and midterm and just chapter overview exams. The exams are easier than the homework. The homework might have some work involved, but just do it and you'll pass the exam.
COVID-19. Wow, what a wonderful experience taking his course. As previously mentioned, do the HW, and youll be just fine. The material itself can be challenging, but the prof. does an AMAZING job at walking you through everything to set you up for success as exams are easier than hw. Really wish I couldve taken him in person, hes amazing.
He gives lot of assignments. Basically do the assignment and correct with red pen to get full credit. However, it not that bad. His exams are really easy compare to the homework and his project was very easy. I like how he had video of him teaching the lesson. I took the short term and dont regret it. Take him!!!:) amazing professor
Professor Teachout is the best! I took his class in 8 weeks and although it was a lot of homework, he allows late work without penalty. His review sheets are so helpful for the exams and if you need help, he is very accessible. He makes stats super easy to understand. Overall, his class is well organized and he is a great professor :)
The best professor you can take for an online stats class. The lectures and homework are straightforward and he lets you go at your own pace without taking points off. You can submit anything late until the last day of class and he will take it and give you full credit. He guides you through test reviews, hw questions and even a whole project.
The best sats professor there is, there's four chapter and each chapter has about 6 section, each sections has lectures videos and hw, one project but very easy, ended with a 98 in the class and I just did all the work. tests area also pretty easy.
Professor Teachout filled our online session with incredibly informative and energetic lectures. They were a pleasure to watch and made the content easy to understand. He was very kind when leaving comments on assignments and was VERY lenient when it came to late work. I highly recommend taking him for any of his classes if you can!
I really enjoyed taking this class during the summer. Professor Teachout provided lots of lecture videos for homework, review sheets for the tests, and no textbook was required. Highly recommend this Professor!
I took stats during the summer, and I can't believe I learned so much. I am not good at math at all, but Professor Teachout had such great lecture videos. Super energetic, and made learning enjoyable. I would definitely recommend taking his class! Also responds to emails fairly quickly, and was always really helpful. You won't regret it!
Provides free online textbook, chapter by chapter. Highly recommend!
Do yourself a favor and take Professor Teachout's Intro to Stats class! I can't stress enough just how amazing Prof. Teachout is. I suck at math and yet I took his accelerated 8-week class. He explains things in a way that is easy for me to understand. During your hw you are graded on your effort, not how correct you are.
Great and Helpful Professor. Thank you.
I took the 8-week course and it was am easy A if you put in the time to get it done. flexible due dates on major projects and hw. Exams are 90% vocab and 10% math. Sign up for him at all costs.
Mr. Teachout was such a good teacher, accepts late work for no penalties, 1 major project that has VERY clear instructions so it's soooo easy to pass. I took the 8 week accelerated class and had 0 issues if you need to take stats take it with Teachout. also its was a ZTC class
Professor Teachout's Math140 class is pretty easy. He allows you to have extensions on the homework assignments, but encourages that you keep up and turn in assignments sooner rather than later so you won't fall behind. The test focus on mainly vocab and math problems. He's very easy and flexible to work with so don't hesitate to reach out to him!
Professor Teachout's Math140 class is easy as long as you don't fall behind on homework assignments, discussions, and exams. There's one project due towards the end of the course. The guidelines are fairly understandable. Don't hesitate to ask for help from Mr. Teachout because he is a very flexible professor! Good luck!
I had this professor in the last spring and I really enjoyed this class. There is about 2-3 homework assignments due per week and his lectures are very helpful. The homework isn't too difficult and the exams aren't too hard as well. I would take a class with this professor again if I could. :)
Take statistics with Teachout! He is caring and his assignments are straightforward and relatively easy. There are projects that you have to do, but he gives you direct examples so there is no way to get things wrong. The final was incredibly easy, I got a 94% on it and I didn't even study. Just watch the lectures and take notes. Highly recommend!
Responds to emails super quickly, gives you above and beyond responses and feedback if you ask for help, his lectures are super concise but helpful, and compared to my calc classes the homework took about 1/4 the time. highly recommend if you're taking him for math 140
Great professor. Points are pretty much given and for completing notes and work in class. Only exam was final exam and not to hard, the rest is based on class assignments and group projects.
No need to buy a textbook because he has everything you need on Canvas and his website. He is a great teacher that is easy to reach if you have trouble with understanding an assignment. The classwork is easy and would definitely take his class again. Don't procrastinate or wait last minute to do work because notes and homework is handwritten.
Professor Teachout's intro stats class is a must-take. Engaging lectures, helpful feedback, and minimal textbook use make this an easy A. Unstuckstudy and other study tools like ChatGPT were lifesavers for exam prep. Highly recommend this class!
I highly recommend Professor Teachout. I took the fully online intro to stats and it was a breeze. The due dates for hw are every couple of days but you can submit late for full credit. He leaves a comment on every assignment. Overall a really caring guy and a great teacher.
I loved this easy class; the teacher was very nice and understanding 5 stars! please take it
one of the best professors ive ever had! very detailed with his teaching but always is accepting of mistakes, all homework and assignments (except for tests) you're able to turn in late for full credit; 1-2 sections assigned per week for 16 week; sends reminders ab assingments for the week which was really helpful! would 100% take this class again!
Amazing class! you can have an ass due in august and you have up to december to submit it, otherwise it gets marked missing. this was such a relief for me and i could balance this class successfuly with other stressful coursework (luis lara spanish :/). amazing lectures and you can tell hes passionate about his work!
He's the best. OMG he has helped me a lot. I wish I could take him everyday, he is such a gem and a sweetheart. PLEASE TAKE HIM!!!
taking his winter course right now and i think he's actually fire. goated prof please take him if you wanna get a good grade, learn the important points of the whole subject and he is nice genuine so you can be open to him if you are struggling. TRUST the REVIEWS.
I really don't like math but this professor made it very easy. Just follow the lecture videos he provides and you won't be stressed. He leaves feedback and cares about his students. Exams were so easy and organized. Lectures and hw help with exams! I suggest doing the hw asap because often times I felt overwhelmed waiting until the last minute.
Professor Teachout is such an engaging professor who wants to see you succeed in his class. He has a website with all the necessary information, including YouTube videos of him teaching the entire course. Try not to miss class because participation matters, and you will be overwhelmed. If you're constantly engaged in class, this class is passable.
One of the best professors I've had at COC. He is very caring for students and always there to help. It was a very easy class and projects were simple (they have great and detailed instructions). I would definitely recommend to those struggling with Stats.
Professor Teachout is really amazing! I always had difficulty with Math, but this particular professor has changed my mind about the subject. If you want a caring professor who provides a textbook free of charge (we know they can be pricey) and one who will help you really learn the material this is a great course. Please be prepared to learn!
This was one of the most amazing professors I have ever had! Just show up to class and I guarantee you will pass, plus he makes all of his lectures super enjoyably and very easy to follow along and read! Would highly recommend anyone who struggles with math and needs extra help.
A lot of notes this class is math but to me this was more writing than an English class. there will be five notes assignments and each of has about 4 videos you need to watch and hand write the notes and send them to him.
I took this class over the summer and while there is a lot to complete it's explained thoroughly and homework and exams are not difficult if you watch the lectures and take notes. He also has a website with more information should you need it and is very encouraging. Overall a great professor and made the class easier to finish.
Great easy class! Quite a bit of notes but its on his video lectures so its easy. His test are easy too and there was only one project which was easy to do. By far the best math class and I have never been good at math.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! i had his class about 4 years ago & im coming back to write this review. i am now at a UC school and the math professors suck. Enjoyed Teachout's class so much I am now a stats major. don't remember much about the class format but professor is super caring and wants his students to succeed ! easy class, u won't regret it
