nice and easy teacher!!! I would recommend him

Extremely helpful! He gives pre-test worksheets that show exactly what is on the upcoming test. He gives homework every night thats worth 4 pts per an assignment. Its usually all the odds in the section and helps with any questions during class and in office. We highly reccomend him, bro has math90.

He's not the best instructor, but he's definately not the worst. Fairly easy class to pass....exams are very much identical to the study guide.

clearly states everything in what we can understand.

He is very strict on grading but his homework schedule is easy. He does go over things and explains them to you. But he teaches on a new section every day.

very strict grading and after a while he gets annoying. Its hard to look forward to his class.

he can be strick and sometimesa bit harsh on students, but I rather have a teacher that cares for about hia job than someone who dosen't. If you want to see a smle evry mornig and sthusiastic teacher I truely recomend this teacher!

He made us turn in homework, which was weird but really cool because that is extra points. He is very clear in his explanation. A GREAT math teacher.

Strict but an all around nice guy. He is good at explaining if you ask for help and there is a lot of homework to prepare you for tests. If you work hard and pay attention, you will really enjoy his class.

Good instructor but the way he grades in no way reflects what you know in the class. It's easy material but is impossible to get an A the way he grades.

pretty strict teacher, but really helpful after class. doing the hw and showing work on tests are key

Great teacher, very clear and helpful.

He is an awesome teacher... he goes through the details really well and is really nice about ppl not being able to show up or make it to class. the hw is due online and there is no way to not get 100% on hw. he gives a study guide b4 tests. really helpful

He was a pretty good teacher. Gives a lot of extra credit and lets you drop some bad tests. If I had to take another math class, I would take his.

So, heres the thing, alot of the work is graphing caculator work, where you dont really understand why things happen the way they do, also most higher college calc classes dont use anything other that a basic calculator for logs and stuff, does not prepare you for higher classes if you intend on moving up.

he is such a geek, and has a great collection of goofy math t-shirts. good teacher, who really knows his stuff. and willing to help if you get lost. the only thing that bothered me about his class was his tone of voice made you feel like he was teaching a kindergarten class.

Great instructor! Makes time in class to allow for students questions. Really wants his students to do well in math. If you show up and study no reason not to get an A in class.

Mr Smith is so cool! I loved him he made math comphrensible! I stink at math and he made it easier for me! I took him over summer and my only complaint is that the test determined your grade to much for example 20 pt questions on test! Over all I enjoyed his happy atttitude and his brilliant teaching skills! I would take him again he is awesome!

Over all I enjoyed his happy atttitude and his brilliant teaching skills! I would take him again he is awesome!

I think professor Adams is an excellent teacher I would recommend him to any one. He explains the material well.

Helpful when you ask, even if you have a question on old material. Makes your questions feel important even if you feel they are easy questions. I highly recomend

Very good teacher i recommend him

He is a great teacher. very very helpful teacher. If you want to pass his class with A then pay real attention to his lecture. exam is not very hard and he review all the problems.

Great teacher! Explains material well and helps with questions. Everyday he gives 30 min to answer questions and he gives a review sheet before all tests and the review sheet is the same as the test!! Very good teacher. Just go everyday and keep up with the work.

AWESOME TEACHER. Takes time to answer questions, explains everything in clear language, even for those of us who do not do well in math. He is easy going and funny. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CAN!

ok so ive taken math with 4 diff prof and hes the best one....for the first time im passing math with a B!!! take him hes awesome

Good teacher. Class is EXTREMELY, although he does not require attendance GO TO CLASS, his lectures are useful and very clear and he is willing to help a student understand anything in the class. Homework is done online and is med. difficulty. Good teacher highly recommend for math!!!

Good teacher. Class is EXTREMELY hard, although he does not require attendance GO TO CLASS, his lectures are useful and very clear and he is willing to help a student understand anything in the class. Homework is done online and is med. difficulty. Good teacher highly recommend for math!!!

this guy was ok. the homework is online. he uses a website, and the homework isnt due until the test date. the final was only 25 problems.

This teacher is the best that i have had in math! He teaches really well, his lectures are clear and understanding he answers all questions during class especially with homework. His class is hard if you are taking Pre-Cal. I thought the class was hard because it's Pre-Cal, but this teacher will make you like it even more (if you hated it)

adams is ok. he teaches well but shows you the wrong way to do things first. he's helpful in that he will help you on the hw and the hw load isnt too bad. kind of hard in that he tricks you on his tests. he likes to be right and he's very annoyingly arrogant..im an A student and i had to work to keep that A

MATH 111 with Adams is a challenging class, and you definitely have to work to get a good grade. Attendance isn't mandatory, but come to class or you'll probably fall behind. Adams is fairly thorough and will answer any questions you ask. Overall he is a good professor and is very helpful, but don't expect this class to be an easy A!!

Prof. Adams is a fantastic teacher.

This is a difficult course, but if you stay on top of the homework, you'll do well. His lectures are pretty good, and if you have questions he'll answers them. I like the class structure and I thought the tests were fair. He gives review sheets before the tests which a really helpful. If you can work hard and you want to learn something, take this!

I found him strange in character, but loved the way the class was structured. He gives study guides for each exam that are nearly identical to what you will see on the exam. In the end, you choose your own combination of homework, exams, and projects to be graded on. Attendance not mandatory, but it definitely reflects on your grade.

Excellent teacher! tough class but lets be honest if youre taking 121 chances are you need to do well in upper math classes. Hell teach you what you need to pass. There is a lot of homework, but it helps a lot. We had quizzes everyday but theyre just for fun and to see how he grades. Overall this guy is a great teacher if you majoring math related

Kind professor. A bit on a power trip at times. Hmwk was easy and he is always willing to help. Asks "brain twister" type math logic questions on his exams that have nothing to do with elementary math. Would take him again, however he is condescending.

He's very nice and promotes asking questions. He explains things so well that I didn't even have purchase a textbook. His study guides are very close to the actual test, so if you go to the test review days you will pass.

I don't see how anyone could fail his class. Great lectures, extremely clear on what he demands from his students. I have nothing bad to say about him. He even lets you chose what you want to count towards your final grade. Probably the best math teacher I ever had.

Great teacher. He really knows his stuff. always willing to help. He will explain everything. The only draw back is his classes tend to be very hard.

Mr. Adams is a great teacher, probably one of the best I've had at MJC. I am not good at math, by any means, so I have to re-take it, but I am retaking it with this guy. He's super helpful, very patient, and extremely good at explaining things in different ways so that an understanding is established. I highly reccommend Mr. Adams.

Took his finite class where hw is online. The hw was easy since you could view an example problem. 90% of your grade relies on the tests and final. He puts the notes online so you dont really have to show up, but he does go over hw questions if you have any during class. You need to purchase MyMathLab which is free with new book which is cheaper.

I loved this professor. I took him for math 20 and math 70. He is very very clear on his instructions. I am horrible at math and I loved this prof.!! Tests are about 25 questions. Homework done all online.

Mr Adams is a great Teacher! It would be really hard to not pass his class because he goes over the homework from the night before every day and he always answers students questions! I would definitely suggest to anyone needing to take a Math class to take Mr Adams!

Outstanding Professor! He gives thorough instruction with ample question opportunity every class, yet still offers challenge along with ease of learning course material!

Mr. Adam's is a classic college professor. If you want to be successful in his class you must read your book the night before each lecture and ask MANy questions. He has ALWAYS been more than welcoming when I've bothered him during office hours EVERY DAY. He will prepare you for the university and you will DEFINITELY know more than most students!

Mr. Adams really is a classic professor. He is very helpful, he gives daily quizzes, usually 1 problem. Starts class right on time! It is important that you show up to class, as you may fall behind because of the new material taught daily. Gives about 3-4 days to complete online homework.

Prof. Adams was great! His teaching style is very easy to understand and if you don't, he will answer all questions thoroughly. He is on time & has plenty of office hours. He quizzed us each class, but typically one or two questions. Homework was online & each test had a review. Best math teacher ever!

Good professor, he's very clear and very patient with students. You don't need the book, but you do need the access code which screws you over in getting a used book. About 90 dollars up front just for that, but it comes with an online version of the book. Math isn't easy, but that's what makes it so rewarding. Keep up with the pace of the class.

He's not a bad teacher, but his lectures aren't really related to the homework - whatsoever - making attendance not really important other than "participation points" that might net you some points at the end of the semester. Don't put emphasis on his review sheets, it's almost totally irrelevant to the exam, study lecture notes.

Professor Adams is a GREAT professor! I never enjoyed math until i took it with him. Adams is passionate about his job. He wants you to pass. If you have a question, he answers it clearly. He is a funny man. I did not skip class at all. If you pay attention during class, do your homework, and study, you will pass the class. Good luck everyone!

Professor Adams understands that some of us are visual while others auditory learners. All his lectures are posted same day so you can look back at them. If you do the homework and actually ask questions, you will do great! He is very patient to people with lots of questions.

I highly recommend taking a Math class with Prof. Adams. He is extremely helpful answering questions before, during, and after class, and meeting during office hours. His lectures are easy to follow AND they cover exactly what is on his tests, so show up to class! He gives review sheetsreview sessions before tests which is extremely helpful.

Professor Adams is easily the best professor I've ever had for any subject. The reason he is such a good professor is because he never condescends to you. He is willing to empathize and understand if you don't remember something from a previous class. You can ask him a question about anything at almost any time; even questions from other classes.

Absolutely despise algebra but on my first test I got a perfect score 200/200 and the second test 196/200. Not trying to toot my own horn but he explains every chapter with great clarity that someone who doesn't enjoy math can pass because of his great teaching methods.

Professor Adams is easily the best math professor at MJC. He's caring, available, and takes the time to make sure you understand what he is teaching. The tests are intimidating but he does his best to give you the best grade he can. (Ex: you can receive 20 out of 30 on a test if you get structure of problem correct but answer wrong) he is awesome

Professor Adams answers any questions that you have before or after class. The lectures were not hard to follow and the homework was all online. Tests were challenging, so studying is key. Very funny man and great person, but his class can be a bit frustrating.

Professor Adams is a really good teacher. Every lesson requires you to do about 5-10 questions online. His notes are very clear and he teaches the subject very well. His review sheets are very detailed about what is going to be on the test. The tests are hard, so study for about two to three hours each test. If you put the work in, you can pass.

Prof. Adams is an excellent math instructor and seems to enjoy his work. Some of the mymathlab hw questions are tough/unexpected, so write them down and ASK to do them in class the next day. Pay attention, and ask questions instead of memorizing. It will help you in the long run. Finish reviews early. His reviews are almost identical to his tests.

Professor Adams is an excellent instructor. He does a great job explaining and wants to help students succeed. He is a hard grader, but if you study and do the homework, then you should be fine. To receive an A you'll have to put in effort.

Adams is very good at teaching and making sure student understand content. If you need help with homework he uses the first half of class to answer questions, so make use of that time. My biggest complaint is that he grades test WAY too harshly. Be prepared to average a high C to low B on tests even if youve taken the class before, like me.

Patient professor and takes the time to explain until you get it. Wish he taught other classes that I need.

Adams is a good professor, yo just need to know his way. He spends 70% of class time answering homework questions and the rest for his lecture. Good grade tests=good class score He's funny in his own way, but he should teach lower levels of math cuz he explains it in the simplest possible terms, as if you knew nothing at all about math,Nice guy tho

Prof. Adams is a brilliant professor, though he gets a bad rep. People complain about the exams, but all you have to do is practice the "Review Sheet". The HW is online and he goes over it in class. He will never hesitate to help in office hours. The class content is by no means easy, but if you actually put in the time, you will succeed.

PLEASE if you are not a good test taker, consider a different teacher. The tests are what make up almost your whole grade. Even if you do all the homework with full credit, there is still huge chance to fail. Show up to class, listen, write notes a LOT of notes. You WILL feel overwhelmed. Overall as a teacher he is okay, he listens & tries to help.

A complete hardass, but cannot help but respect his teaching style, as it feels like the real world. You will find out if you are actually good at math test-taking or not with him. Do not fall behind, have HW Qs ready for him everyday, and expect tests to be trickier than review sheets (office hours highly recommended). Practice... A LOT!

Took him for math 101, he is a really great teacher and cares about his job. Math is not my subject at all, i worked really hard and he acknowledged that i was trying, which is great. I tried getting an A but i couldn't remember all the formulas. Overall, a great teacher

Mr. Adams' style of teaching is superb. He's articulate and enjoys teaching math. There might be times where students feel a little uncomfortable because of his attitude I guess, but if you're in it to learn some math then he's awesome. Don't fall behind on homework and be active in class. Study the review sheets well and you should be fine.

A great professor, his class does heavily rely on homework to teach, so while doing homework theres definitely times you won't understand it, but since his lectures focus on going over homework thats fine and he expects it. I find that he's extremely patient with students. Review sheets were also extremely relevant and tests came with no surprises.

Take this professor for calculus if you want to get an A.

Took him last year in the Spring but after having some more math professors, I realized he really does care about teaching math and I did not appreciate that when I was in his class. If you want someone who really knows what they are talking about when it comes to math, Michael is probably the best you'll get at MJC.

Professor Adams is very knowledgeable about all of the concepts he teaches. Be prepared for several curveballs on tests that require you to critically think about the material. This class is not an easy A. 30% of your grade is the final and 3 tests make up 60% of your final grade. You need to study the textbook thoroughly and ask questions!

Professor Adams class was extremely difficult for me. However, he did a great job of tutoring me and catching me up to speed almost every day after class. He was very clear and precise while explaining to me and helped me wherever I needed it. I will say though, the hw website that he uses is very confusing and it is best to get help from directly

I don't understand all the negative reviews on here, the homework is online and the best way to study is to just go through and reattempt the problems you struggled with in the past, as shown by the amount tried number. If the material is still difficult, his office hours are easy to attend and he is always MORE than willing to help.

I took this professor for Calculus 1 as well and he runs the class very similarly, for lectures he gives a brief 20-30 minute rundown of the material and expects you to learn and struggle with it yourself. The next day he goes over the homework on said topic and answers questions in great detail. Exams are heavily based on the review sheet he gives

The exams were difficult, but he provided review sheets that outlined them well. His office hours were right after class, too, and he was more than willing to help when available. He is definitely passionate about math, and that made the class enjoyable.

Tests are worth almost your entire grade in this class, but he gives a lot of materials to review and prepare. His lectures are pretty good and explain the material well. The homework mostly exists as an extra form of practice, and he's always available to help during office hours.

Attendance isn't mandatory but it is recommended to be able to keep up with every thing going on in the lectures. At the start of every class he would go over homework problems students had, and during lectures he always made sure to go through it simply so everyone could understand. Its a lot of work but if you stay on top of it you'll be fine.
