Professor Borque is new this year but overall he is a decent professor. He makes him self available during office hours if you need any help. you have webassign assignments due a week after you learn the new material, 2-3 projects, weekly quizzes, 2 exams + cumulative final. Not bad at all. Just try.

I never went to his office hours, but I heard that he is very helpful if you go. Weekly homework but it is super easy. Paid attention in class, even if sometimes he bores you. I would take him again.

Teaches fast and in depth and sometimes hard to follow. Lots of homework and class keeps you busy and the exams and projects are fairly complicated and not curved. His class is far from hard to pass, but it takes a lot of effort and focus and is easy to fall behind in. Work ethic will determine your grade. Easy to contact and talk to.

He's extremely smart, but doesn't translate his knowledge well during lectures. However, he's amazing one on one, amazing. His tests and quizzes are fairly easy, only if you understand the homework, though. I went into office hours which is why I did well in the course. Don't take this class if you're not willing to study and go in for help.

I was sad about all these bad reviews!!! I mean, he definitely isn't easy but he's a really nice guy. My first test I bombed but then went to go see him and got an A so he will do anything to help if you ask questions. He goes fast in class so if you're confused don't stay silent!!

Professor Bourque does go pretty quick because he assumes you know whats going on, but the point is for you to stop him and ask questions. Gives a fair amount of homework (but yes there is homework and it'll help your grade!) He always makes himself available for office hours, very helpful. Weekly quizzes, 2 exams, cumulative final which are fair.

hilariously awkward, decent but confusing lecturer. only about 2-3 hrs of hw a week which prepares you for the weekly quizzes. 3 exams, no quizzes on exam weeks. lots of helpful office hours. drops 2 lowest hw and quiz grades. cheat sheet on final. super nice guy too. he's confusing but being in class is still beneficial. overall not a hard class.

I'm not sure how he is for calc, but his stats class is a breeze. Weekly homework (unlimited attempts guaranteed 100%) and weekly quizzes that come directly from in class worksheet and homework every week. Definitely there to help whenever needed and is an understanding guy. Overall easy A if you go to class and do homework every week.

Dr. Bourque is an awesome teacher and his assessments are reasonable as long as you keep up with and review the WebAssign homework. He's very good at explaining examples and going through problems step-by-step. If you ever have a question he will go through it with you and never make you feel stupid. I highly recommend!

Dr. Bourque is literally the best math professor I have ever had- I used to be completely horrible at math but he makes it so understandable and he is so quirky and hilarious. I would take any class that he offered- his class is very fair. There are weekly quizzes on Friday which he definitely prepares you for and help very much for the exam.

Love Prof Bourque! His lectures are great, he doesn't test students to trick them, whatever he goes over in class appears on your quiz/exam, always willing to help if you don't understand. He has a great sarcastic sense of humor and if you study the material you can get a good grade.

Dr. Bourque is a great person. Very quirky and awkward, but he is very easy to talk to. Honestly though, he is a confusing professor, goes way too fast for a math class. The only reason I did well in his class is because I had taken calculus in high school, so don't take him if you find math very challenging.

Dr. Bourque can be a bit quirky, but he genuinely loves teaching this class and makes sure that everyone understands the material. His homework may be hard, but his tests are much easier. Go to his office hours if you are struggling! He explains everything every thoroughly. Also, he allows test corrections which can bump up your test grade.

He is very quirky, but honestly he is one of my favorite math professors that i have ever had. Sometimes lectures run a little quickly but if you speak up and ask questions, he answers them thoroughly. Great professor! I hope i have the opportunity to take him for future math courses.

Dr. Bourque is a great math professor. Sometimes he goes fast over the material, but will always take time to answer everybody's questions and is always available outside of class. He drops a couple quizzes, and allowed our class to do exam corrections to bring our grades up. He also allows some quizzes to be take home. WebAssign homework isn't bad

Oh, Matthew. A great guy. People call him quirky- its accurate- but he's genuinely kind. He's not quirky in an unrelateable way- he's excited about his work, and sometimes gets a little fast because of it. However, he always takes questions, pushes back tests if needed, and is helpful during office hours. From someone that hates math, he's not bad.

Prof Bourque is a bit quirky, but not in a bad way at all. He's passionate about the material and really wants you to succeed. Very accessible and has no problem pushing back tests or homework if he feels like the class needs more time with the material. Online homework is super easy.

I've taken him for both calc 1 and stats 103 and personally loved him. He's definitely quirky, but does want you to do well. The class is comprised of homework (80% or better is 100% in the grade book), quizzes (top 7 count), exams, and a cumulative final. The final closely resembles previous class problems and exams. Just be sure to review!

If I can take him again I totally will. He can be disorganized with lectures but he's super helpful in office hours and he'll will always help you. Exam study guides are super similar to the actual exam. 3 exams, weekly quizzes, and cumulative final

Prof Bourque is by far the best math professor I have taken, I strongly recommend him. You take 8 quizzes and he drops your lowest score, and his exams always have 5 extra credit points you can earn. He provides study guides and answer keys, and if you go to his office hours he will do whatever he can to help you succeed. He's also super funny!

I liked Dr. Bourque! He's pretty quirky and throws in some good jokes here and there. He's VERY accessible outside of class and always makes time for students which was really helpful. He can be jumbled during lectures, but he's extremely helpful during office hours or if you ask questions after class. I would def recommend him for Calc 1.

Matty B is the way to go. He is very caring and wants to help his students as much as possible. Exams are always easier than the review guides and the quizzes are very fair. Overall a great guy and I would definitely take him again.

Professor Bourque's class was fairly easy, especially since it was statistics. All homework was Web Assign, and corresponded to a specific chapter in the online textbook. About one homework assignment per week if that, not time consuming at all. He is a good teacher, and is very clear about tests and quizzes. About three tests, 10 quizzes, final.

Great teacher! Easy to lose track of what is happening. I was lost because he teaches to you in very quickly in Office Hours. Confusing but very clear once you ask questions. Do hw labs, study classworks, and previous quizzes, I have an A right but , i dont know how the rest of the class will end up

Amazing professor, tests were easy and reasonable , quizzes were fine as well, study for a reasonable amount of time and you should be fine

Certainly easier than many other professors, just give an appropriate effort and youll be fine

Matty B is a great math teacher! Hes a little awkward during lecture but he is beyond helpful during office hours and makes everything crystal clear. Gives us practice quizzes and tests with answer keys and the quizzes and tests are easy and reasonable. Hes also super approachable and understanding. He really listens to his students feedback.

He is confusing and all over the place but this class is pretty straightforward. The quiz questions come from notes and classwork sheets. The exams are very similar to the quizzes and the review he posts. His quiz/exam questions for the most part are very fair. Overall, a good class and a decent professor.

Prof Bourque's class is very interesting to say the least. He had a lot of typos in his answer keys & stuff but ultimately he is a really good guy. He doesn't take attendance but he does use WileyPlus for homework and as long as you do 75%, you get full credit. You get quizzed every week, but he gives a practice quizzes. Exams are straightforward!

Professor Bourque is a really funny and awkward guy. He has a few typos here and there and you can see that teaching online isnt really his specialty. A lot of group work but quizzes and exams are just like the practice ones he gives. Amazing guy but if you dont want to risk sitting in a quiet breakout room maybe take someone else.

Dr. Bourque genuinely cares about his students, he's kind and he's really smart. While he may not be the best public speaker, his charisma and passion for maths makes sitting in his lectures actually quite enjoyable. Don't be afraid to ask for help, he'll be more than willing to assist in any way possible.

Its very clear he cares about his students! Theres multiple weekly Wiley assignments due with a quiz on the homework. The work load is semi heavy but manageable! 3 exams and he gives great feedback! Ask questions and go to office hours!! The class is goes at a steady pace, if you put in the work, youre sure to pass.

Professor Bourque is a great professor. He sets up one on one meetings for credit to see how you are doing, credit is received on whether you show up or not. (Summer 2022) He was clear and understanding. Be aware the final exam is a lot of your grade though.

He's really kind and helpful with questions.

He is the best professor here. He is so nice and understanding and cares for his student's well-being, which is hard to find here. Please, I would recommend him so much

Professor Bourque was super nice and I really liked him. Read off PowerPoints and sometimes messed up his practice problems but could still get his points across. Be prepared to go back over his slides multiple times to understand the concepts. Homework can sometimes be really hard but only had to do 80% to get 100% participation on homework.

Prof Bourque's class is easy to manage if you do the homework before quizzes, go to office hours with questions, and review using department website's practice questions. Lots of homework but if you score 80% or higher overall he gives you full points. Cool guy overall

This man is great. I recommend him, I think the bad reviews are because math is just a hard subject. He's good at making sure you understand the topics. He's also really funny and cracks a lot of dad jokes. honestly do not listen to the reviews and take him. He's great!

I would take Dr. Bourque for any math class in a heartbeat. Personally, I found his lecture style engaging and easy to understand. Calc 131 is a hard subject, but Dr. Bourque was dedicated to us understanding the material and made himself available very frequently outside of class. You can just tell he's passionate about math.

Good lectures and utilization of class time. He is very helpful during office hours, he makes sure to explain every point in a way that YOU understand. Quizzes every week but they're very easy and the SI sessions cover what you need to know. Im taking him again for as long as I can. Would recommend.

Dr. Bourque is a great professor! His assignments and lectures are very straightforward and he is always willing to help. I took him for MATH 117 as well and never had any issues with his teaching style. I don't know why his reviews are so low as he is a really good professor and cracks some funny jokes. Take him!!

Dr. Bourque is a good guy & makes me laugh sometimes! He is a bit disorganized, He doesn't lecture a lot and relies on group work. HIs HW are difficult, and his quizzes sometimes don't match up w what's done in class. But, he drops the lowest ones. His exams are pretty easy. He is super helpful in answering questions too! Take him, if you can!

Honestly, he is not the best professor because things tend to be all over the place and you have to do the majority of the learning on your own but he is caring and will help you if you reach out to him. He is also a bit funny. Class tends to be a little boring sometimes but overall he is a good professor. The SI on the other hand wasn't the best.

Genuinely, the people that left bad reviews for this class are just not trying. This class is not hard at all. Bourque is quirky, yes, but he clearly explains everything and is very helpful and kind. If you put in a little work, you'll get an A. It's a stats class...you can't do nothing and expect an A haha

I genuinely don't know why Prof. Bourque doesn't have a higher rating. He's awkward and his lectures can go a little quickly, but if you participate in class and ask questions, you can get a lot of good information. His tests are fair and he is willing to admit when he makes a mistake. His class is a very nice introduction to statistics.

Professor Bourque is really nice and always willing to help out. His tests are really straightforward if you keep up with the homework and attend lectures. His grading is fair and I also learnt a lot during this course because of the amount of material he covers. I would definitely recommend him for STAT 103!

Each test there is extra credit, there will be 100 points on the test but only 95 needed for a 100 (just an example). If you already don't know the basics of stats it will be somewhat hard. He does not give many examples and sometimes his answer keys are wrong. He means well and is avaliable outside of class. u take him if you need a core credit.

Although the math is hard and there is a lot of homework he is good at teaching and one of the funniest professors you'll encounter. there is a quiz every week and packets but if you show up to class you are almost guaranteed a good grade.

Prof. Bourque is a chill professor, very articulate and his lectures are straightforward. He assigns a few online homework assignments per week online and gives quizzes almost every week, although they're short and incredibly easy. The only downfall is the extra cost of buying the online platform (around 60 bucks) and a calculator (around 150).

Calculus is a tough subject regardless of which professor you end up with, but Dr. Bourque is very enthusiastic when it comes to teaching it! as long as you show up, genuinely pay attention, and do the practice quizzes/ exams, you'll be fine.

quizzes every week but they're short and only take 15 mins, lowest 3 scores dropped. 4 tests including final and they can be hard but make sure you actually study and go to his office hours to ask questions. he can go quickly through things in class so usually I did my notes before class just so I know what is going on. textbook is expensive

Calculus is hard no matter what professor you end up with, but Dr. Bourque was a good professor that cares about his students. 4 tests, including the final and weekly quizzes, all of which were fine if you put in the work to learn the material. He can be unorganized but is a nice guy and will help if you just ask.

This class required a lot of work because it's math after all, but the study guide he gives out for exams and quizzes are almost identical(with diff numbers) to the actual quiz. There is A LOT of homework which is very time consuming but overall one of the easiest math classes at Loyola(you're still gonna have to work hard tho).

Such a sweet and caring guy, but very confusing at times especially during lectures. Also if you take him DONT forget about your homework on Wiley because you will get no reminders. I think he is a great person and will work with you if you need the help, but just be warned he can be a bit silly sometimes.

TAKE HIM! He's welcoming, funny, and easily accessible outside of class. Attendance is mandatory but he's very understanding if something arises. Weekly quizzes with lowest 3 graded dropped. 3 unit exams, 1 final exam. He can be a bit disorganized, but don't be afraid to ask for clarification. Practice material is always posted before a quiz/exam.

He is an amazing teacher and tries his hardest to help you understand the material. In class he can be a bit disorganized but you can always ask questions and he tries to help you understand. He makes time for each student especially at office hours. That is the best time to get clarity on what you struggle with before quizzes and exams.
