Do not take him! He uses symbols and phrases that are more geared towards calculus. Avoid him at all costs. This is an elementary math course and he selects questions that are extremely advanced. The helpline tutors even said that his questions were very hard for a beginning algebra course. DO NOT TAKE!

Take it with a different teacher. This teacher gives a lot of online HW that you MUST do (you have up to 80 problems). He is responsive to emails. HW/Quizzes=done on CourseCompass. Very nitpicky on the midterm/final. If you memorized a formula/function that CourseCompass didnt cover and you use it, he will deduct points-even if answer is correct

There are only 2 major tests where we all have to meet in class to take. It is the midterm and final. Dont forget your calculator PLEASE. Quiz and homework every week. If you dont understand go to the student success center. Up to 3 tries for quiz. Exams are much more than a quiz. So do the exam review and get at least an 80-90 on the exam.

By far the hardest class I have taken online at any school, anytime. Be prepared to spend 20-30+ hours per week on the massive amount of homework assignments/tests. Teacher often ambiguous on how to solve problems. Mid term and final study guides have little relevance to the actual material on the mid/final. No formulas page allowed during exams.

I was sick of this class. Tons of weekly homework which is due on Wednesday every week, and quizzes are due on Thursday. His reviews are extreme long and mostly from homework and quizzes. There is no formula sheets giving on the texts, which means you have to memorize bunch of formulas. It will be super hard to get A if you have a packed scheduale

This professor buries you with loads of homework in a short amount of time to learn so much information that you cannot keep up. I don't understand how anyone would be able to keep up with this class unless they have nothing else to do. That being said, he is very responsive to e-mails as an online professor. However, he comes off as heartless.

Great teacher, for those saying there is a ton of homework, did you read his syllabus? Did you listen to him on the discussion board? You do not have to do all of the homework, only about 15-20 questions per week. Study his quizzes and his review sheets and the two exams are straight forward, no surprises.

I feel deceived by the ratings on here. Homework and quizzes are super easy. However, his midterm and final do NOT reflect the study guides at all. I was studying stuff I didn't need because of this guide. I also have never seen some of the questions on the exam on hw/quizzes. This is unfair, tests are super hard compared to what is given to us.

If you take this class online be prepared to teach yourself as there are no lectures and he doesn't offer suggestions for learning. He is not clear in answering student questions or simply ignores them if you ask more than one at a time.

Mike Everett is the worst professor I've ever had. He literally does not teach at all, but relies on you to learn on your own from the (terrible) textbook, or find videos on YouTube. When students ask questions, he gives one line vague answers. The tests were difficult and very different then the review. Be prepared to teach yourself Calculus.
