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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.
