I didn't take him on purpose. Somehow the staff had some changed so I accidentally had him for my Math class. A new teacher, young, and cute (handsome) lol. Really clear and funny, gave out funny random questions about life to take attendance. I hate Math, but he made it so much fun and easy to understand. Tests are not really hard, TAKE HIM guys

Mr. Cao is a great professor. His lectures are clear and he gives example problems in class to make sure you understand. There are 3 tests, a final and a quiz every week. He's really nice and helpful.

Notes from Mr. Cao's class is clear and precise. The examples from class are similar to the ones in homework, quizzes, and tests. Work hard and do ask questions because he answers.

Mr. Cao is easy and helpful. His class is not fast. His teaching skill is good. You should be good at algebra to perform well in any Calculus class. If you truly understand the materials clearly, it doesn't matter how hard the tests are. I find this course interesting and very helpful. Keep in mind that hard work pays off.

He does a thorough job of teaching the material but grades very harshly which can be discouraging. Quiz every week, lowest score is dropped, 3 midterms + final. Hw is due every week as well. Wish he did more to encourage students, I worked really hard and class average for midterm was 60% and he did not curve!! brought my grade down a lot.

Mr. Cao is clear and helpful. But his class is not easy, you need to work hard. Quiz every other week, lowest score is dropped, 3 midterms and final. Homework is due on the quiz/test day. HW all from the text book, need to write on the paper, no online hw. If you want to learn math, take his class. If you want an easy A, it's not for you.

Mr. Cao is great. I feel comfortable sitting in his class; it is the atmosphere which is hardly found in any other classes. He does a good job preparing his students for Math 3B. Take him, you won't regret.

Mr. Cao is a great teacher and very polite. He gives excellent lecture. Exams and quizzes from the lecture and homework. He is very young and organized. Attendance mandatory. If you work hard it is easy to get an A.

He was very encouraging, easy to talk to and ask for help, but sometimes it was hard to get him to understand what you were asking or understand his answer. But, unlike every other male math teacher I have ever had, instead of patronizing, he works to make sure you are both understanding each other and answers you without making you feel stupid.

I liked professor Cao. He's very passionate about teaching Math but still doesn't know how to explain to the students in simple ways. He gives a lot of homework and it's all part of your total score. Overall, he was a very good professor and I'm sure he'll only get better in the future.

Mr. Cao is one of the best professors I've had so far. He's young, good-looking, kind, and his lectures aren't boring at all (he jokes around a lot). He makes lectures very clear and easy to understand. There is quite a bit of homework, but it's all worth doing when it comes to taking the exams. No textbook needed. Definitely recommend him!

Most classes I've taken seem to be serious and dull , except for this one. I think he needs to be a little more informative when he teaches, but the good thing is goes around to help afterwards. Quizzes are easy, midterms are fair and finals is difficult. Overall he's a cool professor.

Michael Cao is the best math teacher ever! He's such a caring teacher and will dedicate time to you if your struggling. He gives good lectures and hands out worksheets which i found very helpful. Also gives extra credit midterm review packets. That helps to prepare and do well on midterms. Overall, great teacher and would definitely take again.

Professor Cao is the best math teacher I had at mission college. He really cares about his students and will do everything in his power to help you understand the concepts and material.

One of the coolest math teachers at mission college!

Professor Cao is the BEST maths professor I have ever had. He really listens and take time to help you understand the material. It's a hard class, but I really came away understanding the material and feeling like I learned the subject. It was a year of hard work, but well worth it.

Professor Cao is very clear and organized. He goes over the material thoroughly. Took his class two years ago, now I have transferred to a university. What I learned in his class helps me a lot in my future studies. He has his own sense of humor and makes his class kind of fun. Highly recommended for students who want to learn and succeed.

Do's: - Always do the hw (helps w/ points). -go to his office hours as mush as possible. - study guides are literally are what is going to be on the test. Don'ts - try not to miss a lot of classes or you'll fall behind. Overall Mr. Cao is super nice and helpful!(also I'm a slow learner & still passed his class while doing 2 jobs and 4 classes)

Michael is a cool guy. He makes you work for your grade. Lets face it, it's better leaving class successful. Just do all the work and don't slack off.

Mr. Cao is a good teacher. He gives clear lecture which is very easy to understand. As long as you work hard and finish the homework, you'll be fine with the exam. If you can't devote enough time on it, then don't take his class. If you really want to learn something about math, take him! He is also nice and funny. Highly recommend!

Mr. Cao's tests are based off of notes and homework. Sometimes, he posts an extra credit problem on Canvas so that students can get +2% on their tests if they do it correctly. Mr. Cao gives partial credit on test problems. Thank goodness for that b/c tests are a big chunk of your grade. Tests are NOT multiple choice; they're free-response.

Mr. Cao is a really good teacher. He makes you work for your grade rather than an easy A. He teaches Calculus really well. I felt like I'm prepared for Calc 2. I recommend his class because you definitely learn a lot.

Mr. Cao is a a really good teacher. He is definitely a tough grader but the tests are based on the lectures. He explains each and every concept really well. He cares about every student in the class. Not an easy A but you'll definitely take his class again!

The best math prof!

This Professor is super awesome!Yea, there's always an upcoming quiz or midterm every other week or two, but I think those are very helpful because you get to study and solidify what you've learned. The homework assignments also help understand a lot. Professor Cao is humorous and being in his class is fun, and that's usually hard to say about math

Best math prof! You definitely learn a lot in his class. He is not an easy teacher, but I think you'd better not take class from an "easy" teacher if you really want to be successful in future. Would take again.

Professor Cao is extremely caring and attentive! Always say that his office hours are open when a midterm is coming up. Really humorous and cute.. For homework, its all on mathlab; he provides notes/worksheets for you to do homework. For tests, there will always be a review sheet for you. The test is exactly like the review sheets that he gives you

Taking him for Math C right now. He is a great teacher for math. He is helpful no matter if it's an easy or hard math question. Gives a good review session to help you for your exams. Taking his math class will leave you with full knowledge unlike people who want an easy A.

Michael Cao is the best math teacher at Mission College. He knows the material and takes it easy for people to understand math especially for slow learners like me. I like his class and would take him again for future classes.

He's a great teacher. I'm a slow learner but he makes the concepts clear and easy to understand. You may have a lot of homework, but it keeps you well prepared for the exams. I would take him again for math.

He's a phenomenal teacher. He will make you work for your grade but in the end it's rewarding. Concepts are clear and will work with you to make sure you understand what he's teaching. Definitely would take any of his math classes again.

This class is easy going but very difficult. Cao explains the material very firm and clear. I would say attendance is mandatory because if you miss one day you miss a lot. Something i disliked was quizzed every other week. Most were based off 10points and each problem was 3points so if you miss 2 problems you failed. STUDY HARD btw I hate math.

Having bad experiences with math teachers over the years, Professor Cao is definitely the best math teacher I've ever had. Excellent teacher, just gets boring at times. As long as you come to class, participate and take notes, you should be fine. Lastly, do not procrastinate on homework assignments.

He talks very calmly, so if you get tired easily, dont take him. Although his explanations were very simple for you to understand unless you need more info. He has a very fixed schedule, so if class ends at 3:10, it will always end at that time. Tests are do-able!! One question usually summarizes one method or lesson

I don't know why people think his class is difficult, to me it's moderate. He explained everything clearly. Attend class, do all the homework and you will be fine.

Prof Cao is by far the best instructor Ive had. Funny and easy to talk to. I highly recommend, he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed

Beyond exceptional instructor!!! He is always willing to help during office hours or email, so if you have questions make sure you ask them. His class is moderate, lots of homework and you get quizzes and exams every other week.

Professor Cao is an amazing teacher. He is very accessible and good at explaining concepts and solving exercises together with lots of patience. Although there were plenty amount of homeworks and quizzes, it was pretty doable because Prof. Cao was always willing to help through office hours and emails. I would definitely take his class again.

One of the best math teachers I've had!! Professor Cao makes even the toughest concepts understandable and tries to keep classes interesting by cracking jokes. Test questions are similar to homework problems and lecture examples, so it is essential to keep up with assignments.

Prof. Cao is overall a pretty good professor. His exams might be challenging (avg 70-80%) but he does give extra credit on the exams + a midterm replace policy. There are usually 3 exams, but as long as you prepare well and do all the homework (which is a good portion of your grade), you'll be fine. He also does occasionally joke in class too.

I'm glad I took his class. His lectures are fluid and easy to follow, but you have to take diligent notes. I still keep my old notes for reference. Make sure you understand the homework before attempting exams; he's happy to answer questions As a person he's amicable and easy to approach. Would take another of his classes in an instant.

Fun lectures and good use of technology in his online course. Professor Cao made the course less stressful than other professors and engaged each student during the lectures.

I took Prof. Cao for Algebra. Great professor. He is also hilarious in class. Would definitely recommend him for anyone who is unsure whether or not to take him. As long as you focus in class, you should have no problems with tests or homework. Again, if you are unsure about which professor to take, just go for him. You will have no regrets.

Professor Cao clarifies vague concepts using good concrete examples. He has a clear head and gives great explanations. I have been to his office hours several times throughout the past semester and have learned a lot from him. Go to his office hours, talk to him, and you will realize what an intelletual and wise instructor you've got for yourself!

Probably one of my favorite math teachers! He's always willing to explain things if you don't understand the content. However, be ready for online homework assignments each class. There are about 3-4 exams throughout the course, with mandatory (ungraded) quizzes for each. Review sheets are optional and can be done for a few extra credit points!

Professor Cao created a rigorous but enjoyable learning environment. If you enjoy math, you will enjoy the class greatly. If you're just taking it as a requirement for another class, it may be too fast-paced and/or in-depth for you.

I took Professor Cao in my first year of college. Overall, math is a very tough subject for me. At first, I was intimidated, but when I took his class, it was very easy to understand the information. He speaks clearly and uses examples to explain tough concepts and is very friendly. He even offers office hours. Overall, very great professor.

I think Mr. Cao is a cool dude and a good teacher. He always answers questions and helps when you need it. The only issue I have with the class is how fast paced it is. But that's not his fault, I didn't really understand what I was signing up for with a 5 unit summer class that only runs for 5 weeks. It's insane.

Your grade will entirely depend on three tests, one of which being the final. If you want to do well, you have to apply yourself and try to understand the content, as memorizing the information temporarily with not help you succeed, mastery of the information is required. I liked Professor Cao, but some of my classmates didn't share that sentiment.

Took him for intro to stats w additional support. A LOT of hw. Use chatgpt to save time. Sometimes a bit robotic. Plenty of examples in class and a in-class review for final . 2 projects that are pretty simple but time consuming. 3 take home quizzes graded by effort not accuracy. 2 midterms+non-cumulative final. notes on 3x5 card allowed for all 3.

He is a great professor. He cares about students. He is nice and hilarious, not a tough grader. The exams are not hard, but the Calculus is hard though.

Very comprehensive lectures and test heavy. However, the homework prepares you well for his tests and the exams are easy.
