I've taken three math classes from Michael McAfee.(math 60,95,243)I feel like I have to defend him. I found him to be extremely competent,professional and always willing to help. As for him pushing his religion,if you don't like it...push back.

My first math teacher at mt. hood. Has no problems as long as you show up everyday and do your homework. This is an easy A.

The best math class I have ever taken! I loved how much we went over the previous homework, it really helped me learn from my mistakes.

There is a lot of homework, but that was expected from a 5 credit class. Michael did a fine job at addressing student's questions. I would take another class of his.

I've never had a better time in math; he explains math concepts very well and throws in jokes now and then. There's quite a bit of homework, but that comes with a 5 credit class. I plan on taking my next math class with him!

Very clear instructions. Easy if you attend class. He offers alternative methods of teaching not avaliable in the book.

Mr. McAfee requires a lot of daily homework and has strict formatting rules. This was great for-it kept me on track. It was not an easy course but I learned alot. He was very clear about expectations on eveerything. Plus, he drops the scores on quizzes, homework and participation. Very fair/organized. I hope to take all my math from him.

The thing that was great about his class was that we went over everything so many times. The bad thing about this class was that we went over everything SOOOO many times (once I got it, I sometimes stopped trying to finish the homework). There is homework every night but it's not excessive. Hotness would go up if he didn't dress so frumpy.

The Silver Fox thing is a plus. But seriously - he's a good teacher. I have a hard time with math, but he makes it interesting. Lots of positive reinforcement. Makes you work harder!!!

Good teacher. Patient and kind. Not rude - don't know what you former raters are talking about. He's pretty hot too - in a let's do math and then make out kinda way...

Fair teacher. Easy A.

Does a good job explaining the concepts, as well as choosing problems that reinforce the explanations. Two exams and a final where worth about 80% of the grade, however, so be prepared to work your ass off.

He is great at explaining the information, but you have to ask him to explain it if you don't understand it.

Overall, a good instructor, sometimes seems to not keep the class attention, and gets frustrated when that happens.

Good professor. I took this class in 5 weeks instead of 10. Do your homework and you'll get an A.

He is a good teacher. He can move a bit quickly at times but is very helpful if you ask for it. Overall a very enjoyable class. Has a quirky sense of humor, entertaining.

I really liked Mike. He was clear when giving examples and always gave enough examples that I could always figure out the homework with a little effort. Much better than my calculus teacher that I had in high school. Highly recommend Mike.

THIS CLASS IS FOR MATH MAJORS!!! who don't want to get taught to, who only want to show up, turn in a butt-load of home work (EVERY night), and fall asleep in class, THIS IS CLASS IS NOT FOR NON-MATH MAJORS! If you struggle with math, don't expect much help with your algebra - & it's pretty much ALL algebra- & prepare to be buried in homework ;-)

I have no problems with this teacher. He is clear and has a very definite pattern of what he wants you to do. He's doing a great job.

You rock McAfee! Thanks for one of the best math classes ever! You're spirit and sense of humor made having to take Math fun! :)

Mr. McAfee is a MATH instructor teaching MATH to adults. All you have to do is follow the format in the syllabus, and believe me he will mark you down for not following it. He gives a lot of homework because most students need it. He only grades certain problems on the homework, so if you do the homework you will pass the class. A great teacher.

This instructor requires you to work. But if you come to class and do the work you will make a good grade. He explains things very clearly and is very thorough. If you don't get it just ask him he is very patient. I enjoyed the class.

Mr. McAfee is an A+ teacher. Very helpful, has a great way of teaching and he is beyond hilarious. He breaks every thing down and makes it very easy to understand. He takes the time to explain the work, And he is always available to help out after class

Im currently finishing up his class with my final tmrw. hands down probably one of the best math professors MHCC has. He makes math some what enjoyable. I had a lot of things come up this term and was unable to make it to a good portion of class yet with his grading options i still have a fair chance of passing, which is uncommon for a math class.

Great teacher. I'd take all my math from him. Do the homework study for tests and you'll get a good grade. I don't remember him talking about religion. If he did that must have been the day I missed.

I liked the consistency. You always knew what was expected and there were no surprises. I will take his class again.

I took him for MTH 65. I thought he did a great job so I took him for MTH 95. There were quite a few of us from MTH 65 that took his MTH 95. I signed up for his MTH 111 in the Fall. Looking forward to it.

I literally just finished Mcafee's Mth 65 class yesterday. I think he's a phenomenal teacher. Shows interest in the students learning. Granted, he is a little unclear at times, but speak up if you're confused! He taught math very well, was humorous, made a couple VERY subtle references to conservatismreligion but never anything unreasonable!

He was an outstanding instructor. If students were not getting the material he was very patient and willing to re-explain and help. I will take him for MTH 95.

Michael McAfee is very nice/helpful. If you are slow at math, get ready for a lot of at home studying; the pace of the class is very fast. He deploys what's called "collected sets" of homework and only a few of the problems are graded. Follow the hw guidelines EXACTLY and you wont have a problem. Ask for extra test study materials if you need them.

He jokes a lot and he will never let you out early. He is clear when teaching math and he is there for you before and after class for questions and tutoring.

Mr. McAfee is a great teacher. He is not a teacher for those who want to be spoon fed and come to class to mess around. If you do not do the assigned homework, you will be lost. He teaches how a college professor should teach; provide guidance but the student has to participate in their own learning. He answers as many questions as you ask.

Pretty straight forward instructor, show up to class and do you work and you'll pass. He is kind of unclear and goes fast through some sections fast but he is always willing to help during his office hours.

Super easygoing guy, really understands the subject. He does give a lot of homework, but it's worth it because it helps on the tests. His teaching style is pretty laid-back, and he doesn't mind taking time to help people understand a difficult topic. Would definitely take his class again!

He cares about his students, and is available if you have math questions during office hours. Responds to emails quickly to answer concerns. I would take Mr. McAfee again!

I had no issues with him, he was very nice and very helpful if he was later in the day I would be taking him for my future courses.

He's very quiet! Sometimes it's hard to tell he is even talking. Other than that he was pretty standard, other than his weird... obsession over detail in the homework. It had to follow an incredibly specific format, to the point of having to buy a special (expensive) kind of paper. Over you learn what he wants though, it's easier to get good marks.

Took 95 in the summer for 5 weeks. Overall it was an easy class. I liked how he taught. He teaches more by examples than lecture. Im taking him again for 111

I found his class to be very fun and well put together. I enjoyed is sense of humor and how he taught the class. I have always enjoyed math and found it to be easy so that might be skewing my feelings about the class.

Awesome MTH065 teacher. Gives clear direction about the math problems. I took him twice, once for MTH065 and once for MTH095. Personally, he wasn't a good teacher for MTH095, but for MTH065, excellent.

5 cr classes should be 3 days a week. This one wasn't, and it felt like a lot was crammed into not enough time. I barely got a grasp on one thing before we had to move onto the next. He explains everything thoroughly, I don't think anyone else could have done better in the time we had available. I won't take a 5 cr class twice a week again though.

I took Mr. McAfee a few years back and I thought he did a fantastic job of teaching the fundamentals. I went on to take the entire calculus sequence, differential equations, and linear algebra. I feel he taught me the solid foundation in order to succeed in my later math courses. Great guy.

Very good instructor. He provides clear instructions and prompt feedback on math related course work. The assigned reading/video lectures and course work is straight forward and are very helpful. This course has really good resources such as etutor, group discussion, and flexible office hours for help on assignments.

Very good if you're an independent learner! I had Mr. McAfee for both MTH111 and MTH95, and I loved it. Easy to follow agenda, only a few assignments had due dates (good for working around your schedule). Gives good feedback on written assignments. Friendly (at least through the screen haha).

Math in general is just difficult for me, but his videos helped me a ton!

Took this course online, and for a math class it was quite simple! He gave video explanations if you needed help, and responded very fast. There are some group projects, but if you get the math it's no big deal. Just make sure that you give and discuss ALL that he is asking for, even if your group members don't respond.

Michael was actually a pretty good professor IMO, he gave good feedback and was very flexible on when to work, but just make sure to do it so you dont fall behind,not super easy but not super hard,I once embarrasingly missed a final exam in his class and he was very understanding about it and did cut me some slack, overall i would take him again
