Maxwell lectures off the top of his head, which is pretty amazing. His lectures are at times a little confusing, but he explains and sometimes over explains. As long as you take good notes and do your homework, the class is easy.

Maxwell gets very excited about statistics. He kind of jumps around when he gets to the important parts- very helpful because it helps you stay focused. He is more interested that you understand statistics than in having you do tons of busywork. If you don't understand something, he will take the time to help you out. Great professor.

what everyone else is saying is complete bull. maxwell knows exactly what he's talking about, just take notes and u should do fine. very clear with everything.assigns hw, but never is collected, and the excel project is an easy A.

I don't like Math, so the topic was a 'bit confusing. STUDY the midterm review sheet with practice problems. Quizes are every weeek and some are confusing. His lectures are confusing, because the material is confusing. I learned most of the material by myself with the book and the Study Guide Solutions, which came with the book (new/not used). =)

Ok, I had no problem in his class. If you had a question, he would always answer it. Midterm and final were hard, but he did curve somewhat, plus he also drops your lowest quiz total. This is a class that if you dont go to, you will get a bad grade, so go to class!

This guy is awesome. His love for the material is inspiring. When he gets excited about a point, his eyes get crazy and his voice cracks. He tried to teach out of the book, but I think we learned more when he gave us his own handwritten assignment(s). Exams were fair and reasonable. DO NOT MISS CLASS! You'll be lost immediately.

good math teacher. Makes the class interesting. Fair grader. No surprises on test.

he is an nice teacher, the stuff he talk about is understandable. If you try to follow what he say, you would be fine

He's a fun teacher. He's really energetic so it's easy to stay interested in what he's doing. I learned a lot in his class and would definitely take him again.

He's a very nice guy. He's fair and he's always willing to answer questions or ask anyone who needs it. sometimes his lectures can drag on, but he's pretty clear. he knows what he's talking about. he's probably one of the most passionate teachers i've had. if you take this class, attendance is totally encouraged. one day can throw you off.

He's an OK teacher. he will answer your questions when you ask. 1 mid-term and 1 final. a few excel projects and homework is worth a big chunk of your grade. if you actually try, you can get a good grade. class was boring sometimes but bearable. not a bad class.

Yells out certain phrases lol. Very enthusiastic. Doesn't get back to you thru email so just talk to him in person. Allows notes for 1 midterm and 1 final. Online homework. Pop quizzes once a week so come to class and copy notes while you're at it. Class is easy if you really do try.

TAKE HIM. TAKE HIM. ONCE AGAIN TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT AN EASY A. NO JOKE. JUST DO THE ONLINE HW. RANDOM QUIZZES TAKEN TO PROVE UR ATTENDING CLASS EACH QUIZ 4 EASY QUESTIONS. ONE MIDTERM--16 QUESTIONS HELLA EASY. THEN YOU GET THE FINAL. JUST DO THE HOMEWORK CUZ, CAN BE UNCLEAR AT TIMES BUT EASY A. TRUSTT MEE.

Excellent lecturer, but lazy teacher. All multiple choice until the final, which had open questions (I think the dept. head told him he couldn't do just multiple choice). Most homework had two tries, so very easy.

Mr. Maxwell is really smart. He knows his stuff and keeps the class engaged. He makes statistics easier to understand and he gives really easy four point quizzes. Great Class!!!

oh yeah.

He tries very hard to be helpful and is very excited about his subject. And he's not too bad on the eyes either ;)

Maxwell I must admit is pretty lazy. Doesnt reply back to emails. It is just best to talk to him after class. Hw is online and you get two tries to submit. 4 point quizzes about one a week. Easy class but don't slack b/c of the midterm and the final. His examples in class is pretty clear but doesnt match the book. He definitely isn't bad to look at

I on average probably went to this class one out of the three days I had this class and still ended up with an A-. If you don't really need math 60 but were forced into it like I was, take Maxwell. You don't have to go, his hw is all online and not super long. Just go on the days you have tests and you'll be fine. :]

SUPER EASY CLASS. Never went to class and got a good grade, its remedial, but its still easy. He explains things good.

This class is easy if you get the material. He moves to fasts but there is barely any homework, one midterm and weekly or bi- weekly quizzes they have four question and he gives you the answer to the last one and there are three excel projects which are given at the end of the semester.

He's a great teacher, in terms of explaining the material. He's very funny and enthusiastic in the morning. Quizzes are quite easy, with excel projects. There was a midterm which was fine. But the final is quite hard. Know the material, and trust me you'll do fine.

Great teacher. I'm terrible at math, but i understand it thanks to him. If you go to class, you will pass because he explains things well.

I found this class very easy. Basically his class is made up of short pop quizzes (4qs) for each chapter, 3 easy excel projects, homework, and a midterm and a final which he allows you to use a single sheet of paper (double sided) for notes. Just go to class and take notes.

The subject was a bit hard but the professor did a good job of thoroughly explaining the material;broke every little thing down.He happily answered any question we gave him, even if someone had JUST asked it.VERY HELPFUL if you ask questions. ifyou do the sample problems on the study guide and make a cheatsheet you should be good on the exams

The online HW really has nothing to do with the POP ZEUS quizzes we have in class, he does teach well and clear

Awesome teacher, made sure you knew the concepts and made HW a no-brainer. Quizzes were a joke that consisted of 3 questions and then him giving you a letter to mark for the 4th answer. Take his class!

Just do all the online homwork and as long as you put in the effort you will pass the class. He teaching style is helpful because the notes in class are actually relevant to the homework and I think he is a fair grader. Study the study guide for midterm and finals. Students do admit that he is pretty hot.

Great teacher. Spent a lot of time out side of class helping me. His lectures were great and he kept to the book for about 90%. My advice take maxwell over any of the others teaching his sections.

Maxwell is an excellent professor, but he will emphasize concepts. If you're not too good with concepts, this will prove to be a frustrating class. That said, he is honestly one of the best math professors I've had at State, and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a strong understanding of math.

No textbook, so your understanding of the material depends on attendance. If you like to skip classes, don't take this class. He's very informative and makes things clear and easy to understand. The pop quizzes are usually questions from the homework with an extra credit.

He is a good stats prof. He has a lot of high energy & you can tell that he is passionate about stats. There is very little derivation of stats formulas. You are expected to know how to apply certain unexplained formulas in various situations. A TI cal is needed. Definitely possible to pass if you study & care about stats. I earned a B- for trying

He's a pretty decent teacher he makes everything sensible enough for those who no nothing about stats. I skipped a lot of classes because I took the course in High school so I already new a lot of the material. I wouldnt say that you have to go to every class but as long as your there for the 2nd day of every new lesson you'll be ok.

He's a pretty good professor. It's basically a lecture class, so if you need a more interactive professor he's not the one for you. He's a really nice guy and genuinely wants his students to do well in his class. The homework is kind of a pain.

Awesome professor! He is attentive to student needs with the course material and answers all questions. He is very passionate and without a doubt is very knowledgeable about the subject matter.

I enjoyed Maxwell's class. Stats is not a very easy topic to start off with but if you go to class, take notes, do your hw, and ask questions, you can get a passing grade in the class. Maxwell is a helpful prof. I definitely recommend him for math. Def will miss his class.

I got an A in this class without reading the textbook. You don't really have to as long as you write down everything on the board. Some of the HW are a pain and very long. Exams are not curved but they look similar to the practice exams. Oh and he's quite attractive for his age ;-)

Teacher is really easy, and okay midterm. Surprisingly the final was way easier than the midterm even though it was cumulative. Got a 100% on the final.

A very smart and clear teacher who knows his stuff. But be warned a very tough grader when it comes to hand written HW and midterm exams. Be careful! He is a complete Bad-A$$ at lecturing Calulus III. He is the boss at this stuff. To be safe you rather have him as your lab guy not the teacher who gives you an official grade if you care about an A.

Easy teacher. Gives a lot of examples to back up his lecture, and he lectures very slowly, sometimes too slow that the class got boring. But because of this, it makes it easier for other people I guess. Midterm is super easy, final is cumulative, but it's easy since he gives out a study guide which says everything that's going to on on the test.

Calculus III is not easy...at all, but Maxwell is a great teacher. Very helpful and is clearly a Calculus God. Very passionate about math and actually makes it somewhat fun to learn. Hard grader on written hw, tests are not as intricate as online hw, and he'll always answer your questions.

He goes over everything you need to know in class and does example problems exactly the same as the homework and repeated on tests as well, so GO TO CLASS. There's little time for individual attention or asking questions in class so if you need help/are struggling ask him after class or go to office hours. Not too hard!

Not hard,easy to get A

Maxwell is hands down one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He is really passionate and energetic in the class, which really helps you stay focused on such topics. He knows his stuff really well, and he is very helpful when you ask him questions, even if they were very basic. He made me enjoy the class and sparked my interest in math. + Easy

you definitely have to work for your grade and understand the material in order to pass. He's more than willing to help if you go to his office hours.

Professor Maxwell blew my socks off.... What a fantastic insightful mind. So helpful and knowledgeable. I don't think I could have asked for more. Super cute too!!!

Go to his lectures because he takes roll call by iClicker, if you're not there, he takes points off. Weekly online homework. One midterm (one page of notes), one final (one flashcard of notes), 1 excel project (EASY). Always go to his class or else you'll miss lots of notes. Without notes, you're screwed. His class wasn't as hard as I thought.

1 iclicker question per class for attendance. HW online, no limit on attempts.

If any one want to understand math, he will be the best. I recommended for everyone want to learn. maybe he is tough, but I will take all classes with him

Explains the material very thoroughly and makes it easy to understand. There's one midterm and one final and homework is assigned through WebAssign about once a week. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory seeing as it's such a low percentage of your grade, but you'll get lost really fast if you don't show up. Would definitely recommend.

I took professor Maxwell Fall semester of '16. His lectures are pretty straight forward. I was scared of this class but he made the information clear and easy to understand as long as you take good notes and do the homework. Weekly homework,but they are not too hard since it's all done online. SHOW UP to class! Tests are easy as long as you study.

Dr. Maxwell was one of the best professors I have ever taken at SFSU. He goes extra lengths to make sure you understand the homework/projects in his classes. If you did not understand something in class, HIGHLY suggest you go to his office hours as he will help you. DO NOT SKIP classes, the semester is not over yet but I am satisfied thus far.

I didn't ask questions in person or through email, I only wrote down 98% of what he wrote during his lectures (his practice problems are very similar to the homework and exams). When someone did ask a question, he would reexplain and it helped. He allows one sheet of notes for all tests and takes attendance by iclicker. I would recommend him!

Professor Maxwell is a very straightforward lecturer. If you write down all his notes and use them for the online hw and to study you will grasp concepts and pass easily. He also gives great help if youre stuck on a problem. Gives reviews for exams to print out w answers which was very helpful aswell.

His lessons are done at a good pace, and he makes it easy to understand. He showed enough examples to make sure you understood the concepts well. Online homework heavy, but he lets you have infinite tries. As for tests, they can be difficult, but at least he posts the answers after so you can understand where you made mistakes.

Great Guy! Professor Maxwell was a really cool teacher for my Business Calculus class. If you do your homework and just look over his lecture notes you will have no problem getting a good grade. He records all his zoom lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I highly recommend it since there are participation quizzes.

Attendance isn't mandatory so it's easy to push off preparation and studying when it comes to exams (which are open note). The workload seemed higher than average but nothing too hard to manage. He's very nice and willing to accommodate students if they're struggling or unhappy with their grades (if they can demonstrate progression).

Maxwell is the best math professor at SFSU. His notes are well written and prepare for his exams. Don't know why some people didn't attend his lectures he helps every person get the best grade possible. 3 exams(too easy), 24 Homeworks, quizzes every week. Just too easy, just do the work that's all he has everything for you :)

Phenomenal professor, he really cares about math and he is absolutely a statistics nut, which makes the lectures more enjoyable because he's so passionate about it. This class is pretty tough though, there is a big use of R, if you make a cheat sheet with all the functions in R, you shouldn't have a problem passing. But a lot of quizzes and exams.

His lecture is super clear and interesting. In addition, he gives a homework assignment once a week. Lectures are recorded. He made online class fun and exciting. The only thing is that exams are challenging. Most of the time, not enough time to finish all eight questions.

I'm not someone who is good at math, but I really enjoyed this class. Yes the actual content can be hard, but he's pretty thorough with his lectures (just remember to take notes). The homework was all on webassign and we did group work often. I got a pretty good grade considering I did meh on all the tests.

His class is hard because the time limit is too short, but he has an amazing lecture.

The professor provides a lot of useful materials online and you can expect to get at least 1 homework assignment each week. He shows a lot of useful and easy ways to understand math and also lectures normally go by quickly.

He's passionate about the subject but his lectures are dry and heavy. The assignments are easy if you follow the notes he has and the quizzes are just the most important part of the assignments (Don't miss any of them). He lets you use as many notes as you think you need for the midterms and final exams.

He was very kind and so patient and he really helped me understand math (which I struggle with), I really recommend him!!!

Great professor, good at keeping students engaged, repeats key points over several lectures, great with questions, uses R for pretty much everything, allows cheat sheets for exams and answers can be left as R commands/unexpanded, gives lots of credit for trying on exams even if you're wrong, I don't like stats but I'd do it again with him

Dr. Mike is an absolute gem. He is very sincere and always encourages students to ask questions. Lots of HW but that's how you will learn the material. He uses R to simplify complex distributions. get advantage of the office hours he is very helpful and approachable. On a side note the way he plays with Desmos is insane.

I don't know why someone hate this professor, he is one of the smart professor in SFSU. In the test we only have to write down the formula and put the number in. You don't even need the calculator. Just pay attention to the class. You can even bring a A4 not with you during test. What can I say. Overall, great professor.

Professor Maxwell's class is challenging but rewarding. The lectures are informative, and he's great at keeping students engaged. To succeed, attend class, read the textbook, and utilize resources like Unstuckstudy for study prep. Overall, a worthwhile experience.

Don't be intimidated by his 3/5 rating, watch the videos he posts and do the homework beforehand. His lectures aren't mandatory past the first few weeks, and all of the content he covers is found in the videos he provides. His exams are almost the same as his practice exams, so you're golden as long as you understand how to do the practice exams.

Mr. Maxwell taught Math for Liberal Arts Majors (Math 70), Fall 2024 at CCSF. The professor broke everything down into logical steps. His integration of online and in-class material was seamless. He was available for students needing extra explanation. The exams were a true reflection of taught concepts (no surprises.)

Prof. Maxwell is a true gem, he is very knowledgeable and his lectures are very informative. Although attendance isn't mandatory, I highly recommend going to class cause his lectures are amazing. I will also say the content taught is very heavy and dense so prepare to spend lots of time studying too.

Dude, this guy is fantastic. He is very good at breaking down complex topics in an easy-to-understand way. He also loves to make little jokes to himself. He is super lenient on test grading, understands you are trying your best, and rewards you. He is also just a tremendous dude. Love talking to him right after class about whatever. Very Funny!!!!!

My fav. He does weekly homework on myopenmath, which is not bad. He makes math interesting and simple. I highly recommend taking him! He is energetic and can be seen drinking coke cola. The only issue was that other students were half asleep, so he would keep asking easy questions to engage the students. (My grade was due to no hw turned in, oops).

Loved the class, the professor is a great guy who spends a long time going through each new problem in front of the class and is still available to walk around and answer questions when we're doing our solo/group in class work. We were reminded before every exam and given good resources for studying to make sure we did well. Overall good experience

This class was pretty easy and well organized. All of our assignments, class work, and quizzes were on my open math and graded as you complete the work. We had 4 in person exams in total including the final. He would give us practice exams to prepare and would use the similar questions on the real exam which made studying easier.
