Awesome!Awesome!Awesome!!

He wants you to understand everything. The math lab is very helpful and the stat modules help 100%. The tests are very clear with no trick questions.

Very good teacher

I loved this class! Great explanations.

I wish I could take more classes with him .. he is a great teacher just don't get on his bad side. show him that u care about learning. stay away if u hate math or if u thing that math is too much for u ...

He teaches very clearly.

He tends to go a little fast and gets ahead of us, but you just have to tell him to slow down. He's very patient one on one and also kind of sexy.

A GREAT TEACHER EVER!!!

He is a little fast at times, just take notes, pay attention and do the home work and you will do well in the class. he never gives alot of homework.

great teacher. he knows his matterial well and works hard towards teaching them. tests are easier than homeworks so if you can do the homeworks you can ace the tests. He is fair and understanding. if you are a transfer student he is highly recommended

Ok. Be prepared to memorize, and drink lots of coffee before class.

He does a great job helping his students when they need help. For this class his test did reflect what he went over in class. Just make sure you do your homework.

Very helpful. I hate math, but he made it OK.

Good teacher! More than willing to help. Will entertain questions that are on topic and pertinent. He doesn't make way for stupid questions though so if you are stupid and afraid of being told that you are don't sign up.

took in the winter session. got an A. excellent instructor, however, seems to get annoyed when you don't get the concept right away even when he knows your one of his A students. very useful and interesting info learned.

Mike Lines is a great person, but maybe not the greatest teacher. He gets a tad impatient and doesn't deal well with a slower class. Though he will help you outside as much as possible. He's also cute and flirtatious. Always fun.

A wonderful teacher, just show him that you care to learn and he'll help you to get there. Make a use of his office hours, he is very helpful when you visit him. You're at a college level not at a high school level!!! YOU LEARN GOOD MATH WITH LINES!!!

EXCELLENT TEACHER, ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEACHERS. VERY HELPFUL, VERY EASY GOING....I HATE MATH, BUT LINES MADE IT VERY ENJOYABLE

He is very helpful and understanding with students diverse situations. Easy Going teacher! you learn every thing you need in class!

i really enjoyed his class because he is very entertaining. some people said that he is hard but i did not think so. however his tests are sometimes kind of hard. he never gave us quizes.

Mike Lines is the best math teacher I have ever had. He acually cares if the student does well in class ( only if the student tries to do well). Focus more on the concepts that he says in class rather than the text book and passing shouldn't be a problem.

even the class' "combined intellect" could not impress this man. Don't take for summer, unless you want a challenge. Teacher is fair and teaches well. Gets you ready for the next math class.

it is a hard course for the summer, but you can still get an A. never did homework, but asked for help during office hours and got an A.

I learned alot in his class, use office hrs if u need. dont get behind

lines is a great teacher. he is very helpful- but his class is hard. he wants to make sure you know your stuff. if you stick it out- you'll be fine. he goes out of his way to help students sometimes. if you don't mind studying, take him.

He is a good teacher, speaks a little fast and doesn't remember the class is composed of undergrads. It sucks that he doesn't grade on a curve but he almost makes up for it in partial credit. If you go to his butt crack of dawn office hours you will do fine.

Ask questions!!! he gives a lot of handouts that are really hard but he goes over them in class. My only complaint is he didn't tell us where we were in the book too, so it was hard later. He only gives about a weeks notice for the test so keep up.

This guy will help you but only if you want help. SO if you planto do well he will assist you like no other math teacher will but he must see you putting effort forth to at least try. If you dont ask questions you will fail.

Prof Lines is a great teacher. I recomend his calss to anyone who is concerned with actualy LEARNING the material. Four stars

Great teacher, really knows what he's talking about and explains it very well. Anyone with problems in the math field should enroll in his class asap..

i took this class in Jan. session... and it was sooo good.. he is very lienent..explains things over and over until you get it.. Def take this class during jan, and you will be so glad u did.. everyone in his class says the same... really good teacher!!!! take him and u will actually "get it"..

found him to be a great teacher. did a good job explaining things the first time. was available to answer questions after class if needed. hand outs were great. for intersession class it was pretty easy.

Will help you through intersession. Makes class entertaining and can teach anyone stats. Goes the extra mile to help you understand and do well. Ask him ?'s, he'd love to explain. Intersession great thing to do, you'll be glad you did! Ultra-lovable too!

He wants you to understand the material, applies it to real situations in life. He will help you and will go out of his way till you understand! It is important to read and practice before lecture. He is real smart and very interested in questions, so do not be shy, ask questions he will explain.

MIKE DA BOMB!!!

take him during intersession... really good teacher.. and fun!! helped us all out alloott.. very clear and straight forward.quizzes and tests not hard

he's an okay teacher so far, he gets frustrated when students don't ask questions, but he means well. He has a nice body too!:)

I took his class in last Spring Intersection, and I love him!

This class is simply difficult. He covers everything he expects you to know and answers lots of questions in class. His teaching style isn't as interesting as some, but its adequate to pass the class if you put in effort. You will likely need to do all homework, read the book, and ask lots of questions if you want to get a great grade.

Mike is an excellent teacher, but don't expect to just sit in the class and pass. He cares about his students so he gets frustrated when he finds that people dont care and are not doing their homework. Dont be affraid to ask him a question, he will explain it until you get it. Awesome teacher.

No Comments

He knows what he is talking about, and he will answer as many questions as there are asked. He will go over the same problem as many times as you need and he doesnt make you feel like an idiot for saying you dont understand. He is a hard teacher and he knows what he expects from you but he is a good teacher.

i had him for math 180... he was kinda tough.. but i think he's hot!

Mike was an excellent instructor. No, he isn't easy, but if you put in the study time and do the homework, you should have no problems. By the time you leave his class you are well prepared for math 110.

I had this teacher several times and I love his teaching style. If you are planning on transferring to a university then he is the teacher you want so you can be prepared.. There is a HUGE difference between a JC and a University!!! Lines is definitely for people who want to learn.

good teacher. sometimes moody & frustrated with class. sometimes if you ask a question he makes you try it on the board, so if your shy like me... you don't ask!

very intimidating in the beginning, but very helpful and clear on the subject half-way thru the semester.some may find his way of teaching difficult, but if u atempt the homework, the class will seem fairly easy.tests are moderate.makes u think and work hard to do well in the class.i definitely recommend him if u're plannign to transfer

fun class

Makes a very complicated subject tolerable. Will go over everything again and agin until he is sure everyone understands it. Kind of looks like hes either really tired or realy depressed all the time but it doesnt interfere with his teaching.

Mr. Lines is either really good or really bad at teaching...it just depends on who you are. I personally really enjoy the class, and he's very helpful and friendly. He's one of the best math teachers I've ever had. I recommend him to anyone willing to learn.

By far the best math teacher I've ever had. I wish all teachers taught like him. He is VERY Clear and exact in his teaching. He really prepares you for higher level math and makes sure you understand the basics. Don't take him if you want an easy A. Take him if you want to actually learn the material.

Mr Lines is a good teacher!!! math is a hard subject and one that not many want to take. He tries to give you the keys and tools that you will need and take with you as you continue math.. He is a wonderful teacher if you really want to learn, he cant make the plays he can only teach them to you and hope you run with the ball!!!!

mike doesn't have a lot of energy, but he's a good teacher. he likes if you ask a lot of questions. i would recommend, just do the homework.

I am really, really bad at math but Mike was great at explaining I didn't understand. Willing to go over formulas multiple times. He really wants you to do well in his class. Put in some effort and he will notice.

Mr.Lines is the best professor! I would go to his class if I was dying! He is a cutie, and he makes learning fun!!! I am doing very well in his class and he has helped me sooo many times, I dont need anymore math classes but I am probably going to take him just to have some fun in school!

I liked him cuz i was able to ask questions and if i didn't want to do the problem i would tell him NO. if you don't do the homework and have a question he definitely won't answer your question. I really never went to class and he still passed me. If you get good grades on the tests, he really won't get on ur case about ur absences. has favorites!!

mike was a great teacher, if you work ard and pay attention in class youll do just fine.

he his the coolest teacher!!!

Is a great teacher. does have favorites though...but very helpful if you are struggling and are trying hard to pass. Not very patient with boys who think they know what they are talking about. hes also funny..which was nice.

Excellent teacher!! would highly recomend his class, he is funny and very helpful and will take the time to make sure each student understands the work. There is lots of quizes and a test each week,but if you study and do the home work you'll pass..just like any other college course.

Hes good.. I think this class is basically a ****ulative concepts from all the previous math classes- mainly algebra and calculus.U have to do the practice problems or homework a few time and youll get it. I never had the time so I had to drop but looking back now this class should be cake if you TRY to do the homework problems a few time. stupid me

Loved him, however he is more helpful if you show effort ask questions and can prove that you are trying such as showing homework even if its not complete. If he feels you aren't making an honest attempt he won't waste his time which I think is fair.

I took a few calc classes from Mike (Calc1 Calc2 DiffEq). He is extremely helpful if you show that you're trying, and anyone who puts in the effort required in any math class will pass his class. I went on to get a bachelor's degree in math and I must say that his classes helped me the most. I found Mike inspirational.

Mike teaches you to prepare for the next level. His concepts and techniques are effective in all levels of math. Without self-motivation and effort, you will struggle. Mike is more than happy to help you if you put forth the effort. He is a great teacher who seperates the students from the slackers...

i took stats from someone else and failed. although this class was still difficult the second time, lines made it easier for me to understand, if i can do it with lines, u can too :)

Mike Lines is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Algeba is very hard for me and he takes the extra time to help me understand the steps.Anyone that says he doesn't help or doesn't explain things must be sitting in a different class or to buisy text messaging friends. At no time has Mike made people feel stupid in his class.

Mike is a nice guy, but moves fast and does alot in head while working on board. He shows short cuts and multiple ways to do things that sometimes just confuses most of us.. I would not recommend him to those who are weak in math/algebra. And get the solutions book - it's worth the extra bucks when you're at home trying to figure things out!

Great teacher, I loved having him. He went out of his way to help me. I had a lot of trouble out of school that semester, and he did so much that he did not need to do for me. He explained things to those who were struggling, made jokes. He was great. I will take his class again sometime soon. Thank you Mr. Lines!!!

Best math teacher ever. He will teach you above and beyond the course requirements and is willing to help if your willing to try. Slackers need not apply, He will have no patients for people who don't try. Sometimes it is hard to concentrate on math b/c he's hot!

Best sumer stat. class ever Michael.. You are one of my favorite profeesor at grossmont...He's very nice guy and helpful.. Take him

Calc 2 is a very hard class, but he does a GREAT JOB teaching. He is a very VERY good teacher. Even though the grade in the summer was based off of 1 quiz and 3 tests (due to time) if you really study you will do good. His tests are VERY fair, just do the homework and STUDY and you can easily get a passing grade. It is a very hard subject though.

I've taken two math classes with prof. Lines and enjoyed each of them. If you pay attention in class, and do your homework you will do well in his class.

Best Teacher Everrrrrrr!!!!!

fair and helpful and understanding. he cant do the work for you, he recognises a students efforts even if they are struggling. He is in math study center to help 2 days a week. if you dont pass its your fault!

Best Teacher EVER in Math. Willing to take time to go over anything. He made class entertaining. I've tried to take Math90 4X and dropped 4X. He made it easy. It would have been nice if he taught Math110 next semester cause I would defintely take him again. He really wants you to learn and understand Math. I'll be taking him for Statistic for sure!

The guy is a genius. He definitely knows waaayyy more than the course requires. I took him for Calc II and Linear Algebra and I would recommend him for either class. He expects you to keep up but recognizes real effort and is ALWAYS willing to help you understand. Great teacher...and pretty funny too

Really good teacher. Knows what exactly what he is talking about and I wish he taught all the math classes. People says he moves quick but I think its a good speed and he also covers some difficult material but if you enjoy math and need many more math courses for your major this is definitely a class you should take.

Lines is a great teacher for serious students. He always took time to work through problems that students needed help with, and sometimes spent the majority of class answering questions. He collects HW every week and doesn't allow notes on tests or quizzes. I really liked his straight forward teaching style, has a good sense of humor too.Great prof

Mr. Lines is a really good teacher. His lectures are very clear and I managed to pass without too much effort, but still understanding the material.

Great Professor, I had to drop Linear Algebra last semester b/c the professor was useless. I'm glad i took it with Professor lines he is great. All the post below are true.

always willing to help and there for you when have questions in or out of the classroom. he builds your confidence by assigning work that you can do at your level and gradually increase the level of difficulty so come test time, you enough knowledge, confidence and skills not just to pass but get high scores.

Great professor and probably the best for math. Explains everything clearly and makes sure that you understand the material.

He is a great teacher who genuinly wants you to succeed, in the way where you deserve to succeed by understanding the math, not just succeeding through extra credit or something like that. He is ALWAYS willing to help. I asked about literally 15 questions per class and he took every one of them. He is very patient and reasonable.

VERY good teacher. His understanding of math is truly profound, yet he has the ability to relate the material quite easily to students. His pace in class is quick, so dont drift off even for a sec or you will be lost. His quizzes are pretty easy, basically just to make sure you have been doing the hw. tests are moderately hard in difficulty

breaksdown problems and helps student indivudal

One of the best math teachers i have had. takes time to teach everyone. kind of went slow most days because of this, but very helpful if you understand things a little slower than most

He is a professor that actually cares about his students' success. He is willing to do just about anything to help. He assigns a good amount of homework and expects that you will try to complete it. Don't miss class or not pay attention because that's really important. It was a hard class for me but I enjoyed it because of him.

Lines is a great teacher that genuinely cares and wants his students to succeed. He spends a portion of the class reviewing hw and then moves onto the day's cha. I suck at math, but with Lines, I actually understand the material. He takes the time to help everyone individually and is willing to explain things thorougly. Plus, he's quite cute.

Professor Lines was amazing! i had dropped Math 175 twice because of other professors. But Professor Lines was so different, patient, thorough, and extremely helpful. Make sure you do your homework when it's due because he will give you surprise quizzes. I highly recommed him!

Mr. Lines is a great professor. He geniunely wants you to succeed if you want to. Yes, there is always homework but that's how you learn math. He always reviews the homework at the beginning of class and doesn't care if he takes up half the class answering questions. I would definitely recommend taking him!

I took Math 90 with Mr. Lines two years ago and I failed the class because I spent less time studying the material. Then I took his Math 90 class again...yes again and passed. He's an awesome teacher, very helpful if you have any problems. Just study, do the homework and you'll do fine.

He is a laid back teacher who makes sure that everyone understands everything. Explains in an easy way. Has a great sense of humor. -Shalina C.

Does go a little fast sometimes, but overall he's very laid back, occasionally joking around with students, but doesn't get too off-track. Willing to help if you're willing to ask, goes over material very thoroughly. Great teacher!

He moves very fast. he's brilliant.You can tell he knows what he's talking about because he uses alot of math terminology. I almost wished he had dumbed things down, only because there are ALOT of calculus rules that I didn't quite pick up or learn. Overall he's a good teacher who will be available to you during office hours.

Michael Lines is the Michael Jordan of math! He is good, but you have to keep up. If you are taking him for any higher math courses, don't expect him to spend time explicating on the basic math stuff, like factoring or why matrices don't commute; he expects you to know all that if you are in a higher math class. Overall, a good teacher!

Funny, laid back, guy, who puts up with A LOT of unruly students and still not only keeps his cool, but turns the tide of inappropriateness into fun learning. WAY smart. Super helpful.

Best Teacher Ever.

Took him for a summer Stats class. Very fast paced+difficult material. Using MathXL was VERY helpul! He was always willing to help Students. He's a fair grader and let us use handwritten notes for his tests (which are difficult but manageable). Class consisted of 3 tests, final, and a quiz each week. Lowest quiz score dropped. I recommend him!! :)

I had Lines for Calc 180, and he doesn't mess around. It's a fast paced class and if you get left in the dirt, there's no chance you'll come back. DO TONS OF PROBLEMS FROM THE BOOK. He takes pretty basic problems from the book and puts them on the tests, but they're still difficult. Not an easy class by an definition, but the teacher is great.

Lines demonstrates ideas starting with proofs and later moves to intuition. He explains things well and vigorously, but will slow down if you have questions. His grading is fairly lax, you can do well if you study.

Mr. Lines is a great teacher who can be amusing and considerate at times. He expects students to be on track; therefore, one needs to come prepared to class for he progresses at a fast pace when students don't imply. Overall, he's a very helpful and lenient teacher. I'm happy to be in his class.

You can see Prof. Lines brilliance at math during his lectures for Linear Algebra. By far, this is the hardest, most challenging, math subject this student has ever taken. The best thing about Lines' Linear Algebra is that he studied the esoteric and verbose textbook from MIT, and interpreted it for the class in ways that is more understandable.

I took this class last semester, this teacher is funny.you need to read every chapter before the class and buy Mathxl code. His tests are hard, but the tests' problems are the same questions in the book. I ended up this class with B.

Mr. Lines is great. If you do all the homework and study your notes you will do well. Lines explains the material in a very understandable way, but this is not an easy class. I would not recommend taking it over summer as I did, since there is so much material to cover, but I definitely enjoyed being in this class.

Mr. Lines is great, anyone that posts negative comments on here was most likely lazy and looking for another easy A. If you are any form of Computer science/ engineering/econ major and truly want to learn the subject and be best prepared for future classes Lines is the man. With that, he isn't the easiest but he is very knowledgeable and a cool guy

By far the best teacher I've ever had. I REALLY struggle in math and he was really helpful. Gives Practice tests almost identical to the real tests. Goes over homework in class. Really cares about the class and their understanding of material. Easy to approach and ask questions over email, office hrs, and in class. I would take his class again!

I took Mr. Lines for Math 170, Math 175, and Calculus 1 (I forget what number that is). Mr. Lines is a phenomenal teacher. He lectures every class but sets his expectations clearly. Before every test he writes out a list of things to review on the board. Class participation will sometimes result in extra credit. Definitely my favorite professor

Mr. Lines is the man! Very well-organized, very smart, and very good at communicating the material. Personally, I thought he was an excellent teacher. Also outright hilarious. Can't get enough of Lines' wit and charm!

Calc 2 itself is a hard subject so if you're not going to put in the time you probably won't do well, regardless of teacher. He's a funny guy as well as a great teacher. He teaches conceptually first and then gets into the details of the problems. Is also flexible and will help the class out. There are easier teachers, but there aren't better.

He is a good and smart professor. The material is tough by itself, but he will answer all your questions. Just don't be shy to ask questions. Try not to skip classes. Missing one class can make you very confused afterwards. I enjoyed his class. He does give a lot of homework, but if you do all the homework, you will do great at his tests.

If you like math, Lines is an awesome professor. You can tell he is passionate about the subject and he prepares you for future math classes. He is very personable and easy to talk to for asking questions. He is also very organized and was really good about grading and returning assignments. I would definitely take him again.

challenging class, needed tutoring for this class. quizzes every thursday and the material was tough to understand. Mr. lines was super helpful with questions and made sure we understood what was going on all the time.

hes so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes also really nice you just have to pay attention. Its not hard but if you don't show up to class then you won't pass just like any other class. One of the Best math teachers.

Professor Lines is a very intelligent and kind teacher. His classes are meant for hardworking students, the more effort you put in the better you'll do in his class. His class will transform you into a well disciplined and focused student. Highly recommend him for anyone who wants a challenge, especially if your a math/engineering/science major.

great teacher and so helpful. I like stat just because of him. he put a lot of efforts inside and outside the class.

BEST TEACHER ever!! very helpfulllll

I took Lines for 281 and now 284 and he is the math teacher I have ever had. He explains everything in detail and will answer any question that comes up in the class. What else could you ask for

Difficult class (calculus 3), but Lines made the material understandable. Homework is a must, office hours are a good idea if you have questions, and outside tutoring isn't a bad idea. Great prof, would definitely take again.

He is the best math professor I have ever taken. Very clear, gives a practice test the day before every test, and have the questions in the test so similar to the ones in the practice test.

This Professor is amazing! Hes wonderful at teaching math and helps each student as much as they need. The test are a little difficult because the question require a lot of outside the box thinking, but other than that the class is fairly easy. I would definitely recommend him and will be taking another class by him next semester.

He genuinely cares for the student's well being and tries to lighten the mood as much as possible with corny and sarcastic jokes. A lot of online homework but, everything in the class is very straight forward. You won't learn the material with his lectures on their own and you need to be proactive but, do what is asked of you and you will do fine.

Definitely the best math professor I have had. He is willing to work with you outside of class, and explain things multiple times in multiple different ways until you get it. Also provides study guides which closely resemble the exams.

Hands down all-time fav math professor. Don't take him if you are trying to get an easy grade. On the other hand if you want to take your higher math classes and feel like you are learning something and not simply pulling your hair out because the basics weren't prev explained, because you didn't take a class from a GREAT prof, then this is yours!!

Favorite math professor I've had. He is tough, and makes you work for your grade. But if you're looking for a future with anything math related, take his class. It will be tough but you will have an extremely solid foundation in Calculus. He is very engaging, nice, and flexible.

Fantastic professor. Very tough class with lots of homework, so be prepared to work. In the end, you'll learn a ton. He's very nice and organized with clear notes and practice exams. Heads up though, there were 4 exams PLUS a cumulative final. He's accommodating too. I rescheduled 2 exams to take during his office hours which he was nice about.

Recommended for STEM majors. Challenging exams. Feedback is easy to understand, quickly resolves your block. One-on-one with him is highly effective. Flexible and WILL work with you. Requires much out of class time to do well. Fair grader. Can be inconsistent providing his resource material to you. Excellent at working your ?'s out on the board.

As someone who is not that great at math, I found this course to be helpful. No it's not going to be an easy A, yes you do have to pay attention. If you feel lost then speak up and he's more than ready to help. In the end your success in the class like any other will be based on the true effort you put in.

Fair teacher! You really have to work your butt off, but he definitely gives you the tools to succeed!

Professor Lines is by far THE BEST math teacher you can ever have! He is easy to talk to and listens to his students! This is such a great quality because he modifies the learning plan based on his student's understanding and makes sure that you leave his class with a SOLID foundation of Calculus. He is by far my favorite and I HIGHLYYYY RECOMMEND!

Professor Lines writes his quizzes and exams straight from his notes. He makes time for any questions before class and takes the time needed to really get it down. Prof Lines really cares more about you understanding the material than memorizing a few formulas. Don't take this class during the Summer!

He is one of my favorite math teacher. He is smart, caring and passionate. The exam is challenging but an A is possible if you are willing to learn and do homework. I would take him for all of my math class if i can.

I took Math 160 with My Lines last Spring. He is my favorite professor at Grossmont so far. I do agree that his class is somewhat fast paced.. He post notes and in class practices before class each time, so I'd suggest you watch all the videos and try to do the homework before class. Ask if you don't understand, he is always willing to help.

Michael Lines is an exquisite teacher. I had him for Calc 2 and,due to a vacation by my Linear Algebra teacher, was able to learn a few sections from him on that topic as well. Let there be no confusion: Lines is a challenging professor, but his grasp of the material and his ability communicate it with subtle humor is a worthy experience.

Great Professor, hybrid class so homework and quizzes are online and tests are in class. study guides given before the tests. 10/10 would recommend. Really cares about his students and is a really cool guy

Mr. Lines is very knowledgable and organized. I liked his lectures and he does not assign a lot of homework like other teachers. He gives multiple attempts on quizzes and exams and he gives a couple of days to complete them. When I saw the other reviews of Mr. Lines I could not believe them. You would have to be so lazy to not do well in his class

Mr. Lines is a good teacher. His lectures are easy to follow and his class is well organized in Canvas. He gives practice exams with solutions and allows multiple attempts on the quizzes and examinations. He also doesn't overwhelm you with too much homework. If you keep pace with the course, you will do fine.

This class was hard, you have to put in work and I took this class 100 percent online and some of the home homework is easy but then gets harder.

Very organized and easy to follow. Allows multiple attempts on quizzes and exams. You can turn in work late with a penalty. If you put the time in, you will do well. Great class.

Thoroughly enjoyed Professor Lines. Like all math, it requires significant work outside the class, but he communicates the needs very well. Takes a different approach where he allows multiple attempts on tests and quizzes, so you can see where you made mistakes and correct your thinking. Uses technology well and plans well, stays on track.

One of the best teachers I ever had. He is enthusiastic about math and cares about his students. He will spend extra time helping you and adjust due dates if personal issues arise. If you pay attention, do the homework, and ask questions, you will succeed in his class. I definitely recommend him if you want a better understanding of math.

Mr. Lines is an incredible Math Teacher. He really knows his stuff and cares about his students success after they leave his class. I would definitely take him again.

Mr. Lines is a great Math Teacher. He really knows math better than any instructor I have had before and I have learned so much in his class. One thing that sets him apart is that he truly cares about his students success after they leave his class. I would take him again.

I took Math 280 from Mr. Lines are few semesters ago. Looking back after taking the next math classes, I am so grateful I took Mr. Lines. His knowledge, experience, teaching style, and test preparation techniques thoroughly set me up for success in the future. He really cares about his students. Thank you Mr. Lines

Wow, I just saw a poor rating from December 20th and I cannot believe it, must be sour grapes from a lazy student. I was in this Linear algebra class and I found Mr. Lines to be so knowledgeable and helpful. I did well in his class getting an A- and I am no math genius. He explains everything so well so that you truly understand.

Mr. Lines is very laid back and easy going. I did not feel stressed out during the entire class, even when it got a little difficult. He helps a lot and wants everyone to pass. I am so glad I took his class.

I took Calc 2 a previous semester and struggled so hard I had to drop. I took Mr. Lines this semester and passed with an A. He is so generous with exams and his lectures are engaging. I cannot say enough good things about him. Take him you wont regret it!

He is a great teacher and I learned a lot from him.

The bad reviews he has are for people that are lazy. If you really want to work and learn to be better you should definitely take this class.

I learned so much from Professor Lines, I took this class before from another instructor and I couldn't get any of it. He really knows the material and that is what makes his class understandable. You should take him if you want to learn.

Mr. Lines explains things very thoroughly. His class is well organized and he gives lots of help.

He is a great teacher, he knows the material and explains it really well.

Had him last semester, and he's one of the more enjoyable math professors I've had. Having a laid-back personality, his teaching style may not be for everyone as it's more or less just him explaining the concepts and then doing the proofs behind them along with a few practice problems. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and would recommend it.

I took Linear from another instructor and couldn't understand any of it. Professor Lines explains it so well and really knows his stuff. Now I understand how it all fits together. I saw an awful review, must be looking for a free ride. Linear algebra is a high level course and it takes some work. If you want to learn it you should take Lines.

This was a great class because Mr. Lines gives so much resources to help you get the concepts. He is very helpful, he really wants you to understand the material. His tests were challenging but very doable.

You don't have to know anything. You should know this is the right professor for any type of students!

Mr. Lines is a very organized teacher and an expert on the topic. I strongly recommend you take him.

This was the easiest class I ever took, and I learned a lot. Mr. Lines makes it easy to understand.

I went into this class thinking it might be difficult but his course was so easy to follow.

I have never had a better teacher for math, Mr. Lines is incredibly smart and explains things perfectly!

I took Calc I at Cuyamaca College and learned nothing. Mr. Lines made me fill in those holes, and I was able to do great in his class. He really knows the material and I would take him again. I strongly recommend him to others as well.

Had about 10 HW & 1 quiz each week for 6 weeks course in summer. Used Pearson MyLab, be prepared to drop 100$ (mandatory for hw/quiz). You can retry infinitely on HW to get 100% till due and retry 2-3 times for quiz/exam. He's a kind professor and responds quickly. Don't take this class for an easy A, you gotta put effort into it, but its worth it.

Mr. Lines is a great teacher, I really learned a lot from him class.

His class was so easy to follow. This class is not easy but he made it so much easier to understand with all of his lecture notes.

The class is a bit hard, but you can tell he really cares about students. Constantly wants to make sure that everyone is following along and that everyone understands exactly what's going on on a fundamental level.

Uses the Pearson application for hw/exam/book. Lines is a fair professor who responds quickly to Canvas messages. You're responsible for all reading and hw/exams, Lines will offer specific info as needed but generally you lead yourself and take responsibility in knowing what to do and when it's due! I adored this course and highly recommend M.Lines

Used Pearson for all hw and tests ($100). Each week there were typically 2 diff sections of hw with around 10-15 questions, a written assignment (not weekly), & then a quiz all due on sundays. Tests were identical to hw questions but since online he had us turn in all work for every problem which was very time consuming (avg 3-5 hrs per test).

Professor Lines is my favorite professor at Grossmont. His class isn't the easiest, but you learn a lot by taking his courses. He could skim quickly over basic mathematical operations like algebra, but this is a 285 course so he expects you to know this stuff already. Overall, take him if you want to challenge yourself. If not, find someone else.

Although the class is quite tough, I do not take that as a reflection on the professor. He can be quite tough on his students if they are not putting in some sort of effort and if they are being lazy, which is fair. Despite that, he is a very caring professor who wants to see students succeed especially if they put attention to the class.

Extremely helpful, caring, and funny. He extends homework essentially until the end of the semester. He genuinely wants you to succeed, but his class was the hardest one I have taken yet and will push you to your limits depending on your level of competence leading up to the course. Take him if you want a challenge from a caring and kind professor.

Professor Lines is a fantastic math instructor. He's patient, kind, and supportive. He explains complex concepts clearly and goes deep into math proofs, which really helped me understand the material. He creates a great learning environment and truly cares about his students. I'm looking forward to taking another class with him. Highly recommend!

He does proofs for fun and knows his stuff EXTREMELY well. He'll make you work but you'll definitely learn the material. This is the most educational class I've taken at Grossmont, but be sure to make the time, or you'll fail. Can be very rewarding when you do well, though.

I took Prof. Lines for Calc 2 and Calc 3 and he is an great pillar of support. He believes in his students and is always willing to help. He typically spends the first part of class on hw then moves on to a lesson. He is proof heavy and there's hw for every section of notes. I really like him overall and am planning to take him for differentials.

If you are looking for a real education in preparation for your STEM major/career, Michael Lines is your go-to Professor. That being said, if you are looking for an easy A, don't take his class. He's also very accommodating (he should be stricter in my opinion). Be ready to study a lot, but once you pass his class you'll be goated at math!

Overall, he is a fantastic teacher but I will say he's not for everyone. He is a brilliant man and does things his own way that can be hard for some ppl to follow. But if you put in effort, he will work with you. He has plenty of office hours and you can always ask questions. For this class, you will have to study, it is a very hard subject.

Professor Lines is great. His lectures are pretty straightforward and it's obvious he cares about students' success. He will hold you to a very high standard and test/quiz you on everything. However, he provides ample resources. Be prepared to put a lot of time towards this class. He wants you to attend office hours for detailed feedback on tests.

This is my second class with Professor Lines, and I highly recommend him! Multivariable Calculus is a heavy class with a lot to cover, be ready, but he explains everything clearly. He's patient, kind, and truly cares about his students. The class is challenging but rewarding. Looking forward to taking more of his classes!

Good professor but you pretty much have to teach the material to yourself. His class' dynamics is to answer questions from homework. Homework is due by the end of the semester but make sure you do the corresponding chapter every week, if not you're going to get behind and be lost completely. He truly cares about students and explains lots of things

Prof Lines is a genuinely caring professor who will work with you to get you where you want to go. He has plenty of accommodations and offers office hours daily. He provides ample resources, but does expect you to come to class having already watched the videos, but IMO made the class SO much easier! Definitely recommend, but don't expect an easy A

This is probably the most university-like math experience you'll get. He does the proofs, he works through problems, and goes into a bit too much depth sometimes (stuff higher level courses talk about). But his exams are all fair. They are all based on the homework he gives you and sometimes he'll give very simple questions. Funny guy too

Very good professor, this class is the best experience at a small community college since it is the most university like in terms of material. He lectures well, dont be like me and procrastinate but stick with the class and you will be fine
