for the first time i understand math and i realize it isnt THAT bad. i really am not fustrated anymore, and i dont mind taking a higher level this coming semester.
Great teacher makes everything clear. Do the HW to get a good grade
Great teacher. The best in the department. He is the ONLY one in the department that speaks clear english and helps you out
Easily the best math teacher I have ever had. Makes it easy to understand and teaches in the simplest way.
Good teacher makes some funny jokes, nice. He teaches pretty well and his course was easy i got an A.
gotta be the best math teacher i've ever had. he explained everything crystal clear and he doesn't drag on and on. he gets straight to the point. no homework in his class but i definitely recommend you do it
The class is very hard and he's not that helpful. He needs to improve his helpfulness. I don't want to fail the class
This guy is a GREAT teacher. He actually made Mathmatics elegant and interesting. He didn't make it more complicated than it needed to be, and explained it very clearly. He actually also is exceptionally helpful if you ask for help. AWESOME!!
He is a great teacher, made math easy and understandable. he gets to the point, make sure do to the hmwrk it will help you out. plus he has no accents so you can understand him
three words: do the homework
this teacher is the best math teacher i ever had, he breaks it down, and makes math easy to do, he is very good at explaining step by step, and will answer every question.he is an easy a if you do your homework
This teacher tops every math teacher.. i had him over the summer in 8 weeks and i earned a B. If i only applied myself in the beginning i would of received an A. If you dont like math take him if you do like math take him.... But do your homework... for your sake not his
I'm horrible in math. So I got a C, but for me thats good. He tells you homework is a choice. DO IT! DO IT, DO IT. It will help a lot. He is young ... so obviously he likes everyday stuff. He is funny and easy to get along with.
he is pretty tight. He just flys through chapters though and his tests are pretty hard.

I really enjoyed this teacher. He was understanding, and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he's willing to answer them
The best teacher that i have had yet...
AWESOME! One of the most OUTSTANDING on campus. Homework is not graded, short quiz after every lecture (helped me accumulate pts easily), in-class tests are easy, take-home testS a bit more challenging. Is exceptionally clear, has fun teaching, will answer questions, American accent. I would take another class from this instructor in a heartbeat.
SPEAKS CLEAR ENGLISH!!! !MUY EXCELLENTE!

This teacher is very good at making algebra easy for students. I am taking him again next semester.
Yeah I came to this class not knowing how to do anything in math. He taught me everything in the book really good and honestly a teacher should come in one day and learn from this teacher on how to teach. He's funny and energetic. So if you had trouble in math in High School I highly recommend him. I had him for the summer and he cares for his stud
Awsome teacher. He loves to teach and really cares about his students. He's clear and gets into it so class is fun. Loved him!! I'm taking him for Math 102 next semester.
He will destroy you like an academic ninja. haha. im kidding! he was awesome! i wish he was my dad!
No, do not take him, just look at the other students comment bellow "Ill try him again next semester" like because your repeating the class? Cause I know I am, this is the only class I have ever Failed, math student + poor math teacher= fail hows them apples?
lectures very clear, goes through everything. tests seem easy, but he grades kind of hard. make sure your problems are PERFECT, otherwise you only get 3 pts (ea problem worth 7). no accent problems, he's also a math teacher at a high school, so he's only there during his class time.
Mr. McMillan is a great teacher. I am afraid of math and he made it all good. Anyone who recommends you not too take his class are the people who didn't study, didn't show up everyday and didn't go the extra mile to speak to him to get extra help. I think it is impossible to fail his class. He is too helpful and smart.
Cool guy. He is always ready to re-explain or clarify something if you want, and doesn't use that crazy arithmatic jargon. Instead he calls things "guy." Don't worry about clarity; or grading for that matter. If he can tell that you understood the concept but had a stupid math mistake in the middle, he gives you as many points as he can justify.
Mr.McMillan is one of the best math teachers ive ever had. WILLING TO HELP HIS STUDENTS. lets you use note cards for exams and work in groups for quizes.
Great teacher, moves really fast unless you speak up. If I had to take any more math I'd absolutely take him again.
Class was in the Summer session, so it was pretty fast paced. He was willing to slow it down if anyone had questions. Good teacher.
Unbelievably amazing teacher- incredibly organized and tells you exactly what he wants you to know. Goes over chapters quickly and is very eager to answer questions- I hate math but I would take any math again with this guy- I promise you'll breeze through any of his classes!
Great man, Great teacher. One of the best. Cream of the crop mathmatician. He made math fun for me.
He's a good teacher, but doesn't show up very often. He teaches full time a high school, then at AVC after, so I think he skips class if he's tired. He missed probably 1/4 of the classes, which caused the material to stack up sometimes. Homework wasn't mandatory, but there were (almost) daily quizzes, where we got to work in groups.
Great math teacher! Lectures are crystal clear but, you need to do the homework because he really makes it look so easy in class. Make sure to speak up if you didn't get something because he is more than willing to go over it again or he'll give you example test problems if you ask him!
McMillan rules!
Best Math Teacher I've ever had. He teaches high school too, so he really helps you if you need help. You get a 3*5 note card for every test. Homework is optional although to do well in any math class you need practice. We got out early almost every class, The only bad thing is he missed about 8 classes. Check myAVC every class. Got an A.
Great teacher he just has a busy life that causes him to miss class frequently
Excellent math teacher. Makes everything crystal clear
If you're not a math person, take McMillan! Lectures are easy to follow and very clear, homework is optional, and some tests are takehome. He does miss class quite a bit, but if he hasn't gone over the material, he doesn't expect you to know it. Very helpful. He makes things as simple and easy as he can. And he's easy on the eyes!
great teacher! i had him in high school as well. explains the material very good. homework is optional, but practice is necessary to pass his tests.
McMillan is the teacher to take when it comes to MATH! His lectures are easy to understand and is very helpful. He answers every question crystal clear! His classes don't go the full length of time, u get 3*5 cards for tests, we had a take home final, and is by far the best math teacher i've had!
GREAT teacher! Definitely take McMillan at least once. Super helpful, he always made class interesting by cracking the occasional joke. He definitely knows his stuff. I took him in high school and I definitely will take McMillan again! ü
Mr. McMillian is a great teacher! He's probably the best professor I've had so far. I took his math class for the summer and the work load wasn't overwhelming and he cut us a lot of slack when it came to exams, he's just an awesome professor.
one of the best math teachers ever, ectremely clear on what he is teaching, gives you mathmatical definitions so that you can understand them, test are only 15 questions, quizzes are in a group, homework is due at every test, really cool guy and straight forward, lectures and examples during class and get to go home early
Best math teacher ever. Explains math so so well. Everything is made simple because of his incredible teaching methods. Take him TAKE HIM!!!
He is not boring and is able to explain things if needed.
Seriously, a fantastic math teacher! I really struggle with math and he made it fun and easy to learn. First A I ever got in a higher math class :) Take his class, I'm telling you that you won't regret it!
WOW. I HATED math before taking 70 with McMillan, I kid you NOT I LOVE math now. Being able to understand homework and test with little to no tutoring is so liberating. I took McMillan for 70 (B) and 102 (B) and I tried to take him for 115..but apparently he's not teaching it =[ Anyways if you hate, and don't understand math PLEASE LET THIS MAN SAV
He's easy to understand and not boring at all. Definitely recommend him, he's awesome.
he was such a great fun teacher. the class was not boring at all. he is very helpful and hw is not due until test day. i would recommend him 100%..
Excellent professor, If you have trouble with math he is an excellent choice. You can learn to love math really fast.
Excellent professor!!, explain what is necessary in a crystal manner, Straight to the point, but if you need help he will explain in different ways. He is a real math teacher.
Excellent teacher! I absolutely loved him! Before his class I was so lost in math, he was so helpful! Being that hes also a high school teacher he really knows how to help the students "get it" in his goofy, funny way!! Take home midterm!! Totally understanding!! Would absolutely reccommend him for students that aren't good in math!
Mr. Mcmillan is the best teacher to take for any math class!completely reccommend him he makes math easy for anyone and very funny too,not to mention pretty easy on the eyes=)totally takin him for math 130!!!if you want to learn math take him!He really is a true teacher!
I took McMillan for 102 and 130 and I am really glad I did. I have never had a math instructor who can so easily make you understand the concepts being displayed on the chalkboard. His teaching approach seems almost effortless at times, but you will understand every word of his lectures. He doesn't over complicate the subject at hand.
I have never been able to understand math quite so well before! The way he teaches is as if he's been taught by the teacher gods! Definitely, absolutely, positively must take him. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! He makes jokes and uses stories to help teach the subject. Also, his voice cracks every now and then. Makes class interesting.
He's really hot and make class very interesting. He makes Math exciting and very easy to learn. If you need Math 102, this is the guy to take. Just remember that while attendance is not mandatory, there is a pop up quiz at the begining of the class. Oh yeah, there is a lot of homework too but that isnt due til test day. GOOD LUCK!!!
I did drop this class because I got behind. He is a very nice teacher and does have a sense of humor. There is homework for every section and he allows a 3x5 card for the (most)tests. The only issue I had was his examples on the board we very very simple compared to the book work and tests He also moves very fast and he only teaches for an hour.
Amazing math teacher! I have learned so much in this class since the beginning of the semester. He breaks down everything so much it's difficult not to understand (unless you weren't paying attention). Never keeps class until the end, is always very willing to answer questions. Homework is time consuming but it isn't due until test day. Great class
Professor McMillan is an excellent teacher! He's funny, explains things very well, and even though the tests are hard he allows you to use a note card. I would recommend him to anyone!!
If you want to skate by and barely pass, he's a good teacher for you. But those who want to learn or get an A, STAY AWAY!! His explanations are clear, but he only explains once very quickly, then he goes home an hour early! He misses a lot of classes too. You are basically on your own, and the book is TERRIBLE. Better off w/ a different teacher.
I've always heard great things about him, even in high school. He WANTS to help you. He WANTS you to understand, perfect for those who struggle with math. Got an A in his class because I did all the homework and asked questions. Take him if you're struggling with math, he's calm, sweet, positive and little silly. Oh, you can also understand him.
wonderful teacher he really wants to help you understand math he well help you in anyway he can and he lets you use a note card to put notes on for the test great class!!!
Loved this class. I'm horrible at math.Took math 60 the semester before w/ prof. Marder & had to drop because I didn't understand. McMillan was awesome! He's so laid back and puts no pressure on the students. I have math anxiety and I was able to learn math for the first time, in a long time. Wish he was teaching 70! I look forward to 102 though!
Math is not my subject and I always had a hard time understanding the concept until I took McMillan he explained everything in a way I could understand. Made math practical, love him and would advice anyone to take him if you struggle to understand math.
Best math professor I've had!
If math is not your subject and you struggle to understand, then take it with McMillan. He explains each problem in a way you will understand. Guaranteed to pass as long as you study.
He is probably the best math teacher I've ever had. He is clear and helpful. Makes sure you only study what you need to. I'm not good at math but I passed 102 with a B. Great guy. Funny. Great class. I Recommend this teacher 100%!!
Do yourself a favor and take his class. Very down to Earth and helpful. Lets you use a 3x5 note card and calculator on tests. There are group quizzes almost every class. Lets class out early every session.
this guy is a all around good instructor. He is straight forward and if you think this class is hard its probably do to the fact that you lack study skills.His lecture are crisp and clear. homework is given only to help you on the test. tons of points to get with all the quizzes and homework points he gives out.
This man needs a raise, and more classes to teach! He's very helpful, lets you use a note card on tests. Just make sure to do the homework before the next class date, in order to do well on the quiz! It is possible to pass a math class! For those who struggle with math like me, take him! Don't even second guess it!
Great teacher who obviously has passion for both teaching and math. He explains things clearly and makes heavy use of the white board, so taking notes is a breeze.
He is very helpful and nice. He is clear in his lectures and answers all questions students have. I've gotten A's on all of his tests. I will be taking him for 102, best math teacher I have taken at AVC.
This professor is one of the best I have ever had. He is so helpful and explains everything very clearly. Lets class out early but you can stay the whole time if you would like. He is very understanding if you cannot attend classes. Highly recommend this Professor!
Honestly, if not for him, I probably would have failed this class already. He's incredibly helpful, very fair, funny, & makes things crystal clear. He stays on a topic until everyone understands. He does let out early every week; a few classes were cancelled too. Quizzes at beginning of class almost every week; don't skip class! Highly recommended.
Professor McMillan is very easy going. He explains the material easily and explains it several different ways to ensure understanding. The book was so confusing! I tried not to read it because it didn't make any sense!!! Professor McMillan's teaching was the only reason I passed. Great teacher!
Absolutely the best mathematics teacher at AVC. He totally brings the cookies to the lower shelf so that anyone can understand him. I completely recommend him for anyone, especially those anxious about math.
He can be intimidating at first but he's an amazing professor. He makes you work for your grade but also gives you credit for trying. Always answered questions and even gave some useful life advice. Take him!
I suck at math and I took him during summer and I got a B in his class. He is a wonderful person and has many years of experience. If he can teach me (I normally fail math) during a summer class well enough that I got a B then he can teach anyone. Just pay attention, do your work and study and you'll be fine. Do yourself a huge favor and take him.
I took him over the summer and I passed with a B. I am awful at math and I normally fail math classes but he is a fantastic teacher and because of that I was able to do very well in his class. I wish all teachers were like him, do yourself a favor and take him for Math! You will not regret taking him, he's a wonderful teacher and person.
If you suck at math like me then do yourself a favor and take Mr. McMillan! He is a wonderful person and a fantastic instructor. I normally fail math classes but I took him over summer and I passed with a B. As long as you put in effort you will pass his class easy. He is the best math instructor ever and no one can convince me otherwise!
Best math class I've taken. I'm am absolutely horrid when it comes to math, but Mike's class was my savior for the semester. Highly recommended you take him if you just need to pass math classes.
Very easy class. Ask lots of questions if you don't understand. He is a great guy and I hope to have more classes with him in the future. Very helpful
Teaches math in a way you will easily understand it and will go over anything u need again & again. WARNING if u are taking higher math after don't take misses class a lot and skips a lot of the books sections and chapters so you wont get your moneys worth
I previously took McMillan for Math 70 and am currently taking him for summer, and may I just say how incredibly grateful I am for finding such a wonderful Math Professor who is caring, down to earth, and handsome. His method of teaching works because he keeps it simple enough to understand, organizes his lecture, and breaks down the detail.
He explains things in a way that anyone can understand and will go over it as many times as needed. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Tests are easy as long as you make sure you understand the problems and do your homework. Great teacher! Would take him again in a heartbeat. Funny too.
Mr. McMillan is a very caring teacher he really wants you to succeed in math. Is one of the easiest teachers you could take he's kind, and he really knows how to make math something you will like after you take the class even when you came in not liking it. He wants you to succeed and he wants you to take something away from his class.
Took him for intersession and was super easy. Had 3 test, quizzes daily, and a take home final. Class got out early each day but keep up with the hw but overal his class was great! I truly recommend him
have a bad time at math? take him. he makes you understand much more clearer.
Take him! Mr. McMillan is incredible! He's really funny and pretty patient while explaining things. His tests aren't too bad, just do your homework! The homework creeps up on you because it's due on test day so you figure you don't need to do it until test day, DON'T do that! Either way he's such an amazing professor, take him!
Would take his class again in a heart beat! Easy A if you go to lecture. Quiz everyday that helps with final grades.
I took him for 102 and 135 and he made it absolutely easy. I have always struggled in math but taking his class really helped me understand the material way better. Highly recommend him.
He's such a great teacher, he explains everything so well and even explains most things in a visual way. If he sees the class is struggling as a whole he spends more time on the topic. If you study and take notes and do the homework it will be an easy pass. He makes math easy and is always willing to help and answer questions when needed !!
McMillan is a great teacher. Even with canceled classes in summer school, he never rushed through material. I would petition for him to teacher higher level maths he was that good! Do homework everyday! The homework problems usually show up on the daily quizzes!
Took over intersession which is feared immensely but he is a wonderful professor, teaches VERY well and doesn't make his class seem rushed or overwhelming, which is what you'd expect from an intersession course. Do your homework and don't miss class because he explains the math the way it should be known how to do.
the most amazing math professor on earth. took him for intersession and luckily i passed. i am terrible at math but he taught me a lot. i would highly recommend him.
He's probably the best math teacher i've had. He's a funny guy and he is always willing to help on the criteria. Just pay attention, take notes on everything important on the board, and ask questions and you'll be fine. He has all the homework due the day of the test so if you didn't have the chance to do it before, you're fine!
Great guy, very friendly. Makes you genuinely interested in the material. Understands that a student must understand the important underlying ideas to succeed. Leaves you with a solid building block.
McMillian is a caring, thorough and knowledgeable teacher. I am a right brain thinker and as challenging as Algebra 2 is I finally get it. McMillians explanations are simple and thorough. Make sure you show up for lecture and study for the quizzes and test. One of the best classes.
He is a great teacher he help you understand your work more. Take him he will help you get better with math.
Was way easier than I though it was going to be with this teacher. He was understanding and far when teaching. gives credit on problems you got wrong if you show your work. I will be taking this teacher again
Professor McMillan is an excellent teacher ! I took his class during summer and we got out early mostly every class but although thats the case, we covered everything we needed to cover and you actually learn very well in his class! Theres quizzes everyday but its open notes and you can work with 2-3 other people. also you use 1 flashcard for tests
Mr. McMillan is the best math teacher! Ive always had trouble in math. I took Mr. McMillan for Math 102 and I was blown away with how easy he would explain math. He would take the time to explain a problem and show you all the work step by step. Just pay attention, take lots of notes and dont be scared to ask a question, hes really nice.
McMillan is an excellent professor! I've always had trouble with math. This was my third time taking math 102 and the way that he taught helped me understand everything so clearly. He does give quite a bit of homework, but he also gives partial credit on test and sometimes allows a 3.5 Index card which were both a big help.
Awesome teacher!
Took trig with him during summer session and he is hands down the best professor. Does homework packets and his test are simple. Take this professor immediately!
Cancels class a lot. He teaches a bit too fast for me. i got lost so many times and i'm good at algebra; his examples are one thing then the homework is a whole other planet and then the tests are a whole other universe. He basically gives one or two examples of each subject and then we leave. tests are NOT multiple choice except for final.
He teaches very fast but dont be shy to ask cause he will go back where you lost. Hes clear with explaining everything. Allows to have a cheat sheet so make sure you write every examples in there. I dont have issues about going 1 hour early. But he does cancel 30 mins before class. Lol
Fact is I have always sucked at math guys. truthfully. Just show up and take notes and do the homework get on khan academy online and listen to what this guy is trying to say and you should be solid. Great guy. I thought i would fail apparently I didn't. If you have issues please ask him he will hook you up with the knowledge you seek. take him.
In all honesty this dude is the BEST teacher for algebra if youre attending AVC. Super chill and explains everything in full detail. He also doesnt mind answering any questions you have for him. Really all you have to do is pay attention, do the homework, and pass the tests to get an A
he was a nice professor the only problem I had with him was that he consistently would skip class and tell us to watch the videos from web assign.
Prof. McMillan was a great teacher and I don't like math so that's saying a lot. But so much hw & test probs on web assign -_- He does make sure you understand the assignments. The only problem is he cancels class quite a few times on short notices. I took him Fall 2020
Very chill teacher. Allowed us to use notecards on tests which made them very manageable. Held office hours each week to discuss questions. Lectures can be a bit bland at first but they are simple to understand.
Explained concepts and definitions very well, and worked through plenty of examples. Lectures were very easy to follow along with. Permitted plenty of time during class for students to ask questions and gave thorough answers. Allowed the use of a note card to write down anything you needed to be used on tests.
Professor McMillan made math not totally miserable, and I actually understood something for once!
He was my high school teacher :D
Absolutely amazing professor he understands student struggles and explain math like it is easy as 2+2. He offered multiple extra credit opportunities to the whole class and gave me with video lectures when I told him I would be unable to make it to class. tests are easy if you study and the final was a breeze, just make sure you study what he says.
Pretty chill guy. Really good at lecturing and explaining. No extra stuff just notes, hw, quizzes, and tests Class was hard but not his fault lol.
P. McMillan was a great teacher super easy to understand, only reason way my grade was so low was my own time management. If attending make sure to pay attention he explains the work very easily, 100% would recommend professor McMillan.
He was probably the best math professor I've ever had. I genuinely enjoyed attending his class and wanting to learn. His teaching style made it easy to understand the material, the quizzes were okay, and the tests were fair as long as you study. My grade was because of my own mistakes, not his. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Professor McMillan makes math not too painful. His lectures are easy to follow, and he's great at explaining concepts. The tests are manageable, especially with the allowed note card. I found Unstuckstudy really helpful for quick study prep too.
awesome professor great lectures just write notes and homework will be easy as well as tests he also has integrated tutor in the class that helps a lot with any question but professor is very helpful with any questions
If you love math, you'll love him, and if you hate math, you'll love him. Knows exactly what he's talking about and exactly how to articulate it all. Always quick to provide clarity and kindness and so accessible in and outside of class, whether it's for extra help or a great conversation. The most genuine and effective professor I've come across.
Professor McMillan is a chill/funny guy! His lectures are based off the book (which you have to buy). He has an exam after every 2 chapters with the HW as the "cheat sheet". He assigns a packet every class but it's easy with the book and lecture. He makes his classes work with their elbow partners so do not sit alone! Encourages u to ask questions.
