Horrible teacher, he moves way too fast and uses ridiculously hard examples in class and expects you to understand everything. His tests are outrageously hard. Studying won't help you. Even his online homework is stupidly hard. My class started with 40+ kids, we're down to 17. Have fun with Maxx.

Maxx always has a solid knowledge and understanding of any of the classes he teaches. His classes can be considered "hard" in a sense that he writes tests and quizzes that you actually have to understand the material. (Imagine that!) He's dedicated to the success of his students and will take the time to explain anything and everything if you ask.

Maxx is a a good guy, but his Math 129 class is the worst. There are so many things wrong with the way the class is ran. He uses the flipped classroom teaching method where the student is expected to learn material before he teaches it. 5 point quiz everyday on the material before he teaches the material. You get 1/2 credit for correct answers.

There is a ton of online homework in this class so stay on top of it. You have to go to class every day since there are clicker points and you miss a lot if information if you arnt there. The notes exercises can be difficult but your lowest 2 are dropped. Only 2 exams and 2 projects. So many bonus points and dropped scores that its easy to do well.

Maxx works hard, cares a lot and inspires. In calculus, he teaches self-discipline & dedicates hours to helping students. He challenges us to solve real world problems and keeps us engaged by being hilarious. He deserves the shiniest of apples! Also, I'm a biology major and would be thrilled if he taught Mathematics of Biological Processes at NDSU.

This class is very well organized. All lectures are online and can be accessed at any time. Some lectures are a little long but Maxx gives plenty of time to watch. Attendance is mandatory but he also has a very forgiving policy. Follow the daily schedule for random bonus points!

I had a great semester in this class with Maxx as my professor. He did a great job at explaining the material, and providing extra help if the you didn't understand what was going on. Maxx also gave us lots of opportunities for extra credit. 100% would recommend again.

The best professor ever! He made it incredibly easy for students to learn the material AND get the grade they want. If you did poorly, then you didn't go to class or watch the videos.

He gives extra credit points on every exam and you can even stockpile them. He sometimes gives extra credit points for showing up on a Friday. Attendance is graded (for a good reason) and some fridays are even 5 points- for just being there. He is a great professor and will help in anyway he can. Do everything he assigns and you won't fail.

Maxx is by far one of the best instructors at NDSU and he truly cares about our success in the class. The workload can be a lot at times, but Maxx is always willing to help out and answer questions. Following the daily schedule and doing the practice exams will help you do well in the class. The extra credit on practice exams can help a lot too.

Maxx is a great teacher. He cares about his students and their success. He gives so much extra credit! You get it by having your homework completed before class, which you should already be doing. The whole class is done with a random group, if you get bad group members class will be less enjoyable. LAs are in 3/4 classes per week. Fairly helpful.

Maxx is hands down the best professor at NDSU. He will go out of his way to make sure you are taken care of if you ask for it. He gives out a staggering amount of extra credit throughout the semester. As long as you show up everyday and stay ahead of your homework there is no reason you shouldn't pass the course. I'm terrible at math and get a B.

Very personable and is a character. He is good at actually teaching and he has his system down to a way that works for almost everyone. If you just put in the time to actually do the homework and practice tests you are almost guaranteed an A in the class. It takes some time but it's not hard work so it is worth it. The course is not very test heavy

I took the online version and it was horrible, extremely fast paced and doesnt give you time to learn anything before the next thing. If you can carve out 3 hours a day 5 days a week you will probably pass, but good luck if you have other classes.

Maxx is not only a great instructor, but he's just a cool guy. This class was very hard at times, but if you put in the effort and apply yourself, Maxx will make sure you find success. Definitely would recommend going to his office hours if you're struggling. Very hard class, but very good instructor.

Very nice. VERY homework heavy. Fast paced. Need to be self-motivated. 10% extra credit curve available on each exam (5% on final). Accessible by email. Follow the guide schedule! Exams strictly proctored by yuja. You can tell he cares, but this is a very difficult class.

Very good at teaching complex topics. He has a flipped lecture style so you watch the lectures outside of class and use the in-class time to go over the problems and ask questions. There is a lot of work but everything has multiple or unlimited attempts. Many opportunities for extra credit. Challenging material but it's easy to get a good grade.
