he is a hard teacher, but he will help you if you ask.

He sort of has an odd sense of humor, but as a teacher, he knows what he's talking about and is always willing to help you through. He won't baby you though and if your really want to learn, you really need to put in the effort and try to keep up in clas

it's a tough class, but if you're willing to work, you can do well. he knows what he's talking about and will help you if you go to him. it's a challenge, but i don't think any other math professor would be easier.

Awsome teacher.I took this class in high school and this was at the same level.He treats it as a weed out class so stick through the first 2 weeks and you will be fine.Good teaching style, always willing to help and explain.Go for it.

I love this teacher! Only stupid people think he's hard bc he tries to get you to understand the material and use your understanding as opposed to teaching you ways to memorize methods to solve problems.

He knows his math and really enjoys teaching. He will help you if you want it. If you take him be prepared to do your homework. He is a good teacher but his tests are killer, dont expect to get easy grades on the tests.

Does examples on the board but doesn't explain especially well. Lots of homework given but doesn't need to be turned in...quizzes every Friday and tests. The tests are DIFFICULT. Not a fan of this class at all!

Although the class is really difficult, he makes you laugh everyday in class with his terrible jokes and nerdly enthusiasm. He really wants to help you! Don't equate the difficulty of the class with his effectiveness as a teacher!

HARD. But helpful. Go in for help. DO THE WORK AND STUDY!

I've had him for MTH 121 and 122 as well, and even though he is difficult he teaches very well. You are guaranteed a thorough understanding of Calculus. Do the homework, and study!. He also helps on the final. If you have a C and you get a B on the final He'll give you a B in the class.

If you are afraid of a little hard work, avoid this teacher. However, if you want to learn calculus, take this teacher because he is the best. I had him for Calc I,II, and III and in each class had a B going into the final. I got an A on the final and he gave me an A. It rewards you if you really nail the final. Tough teacher, but great teachr

when he's writing on the board, he often stands in front of what he's writing, so you can't see it until he's onto the next point.

He was one of the most helpful teachers i have ever met. His tests are only REALLY hard if you don't study.The only bad thing is that the online h.w. can get annoying.

If one wishes to earn an A or B in this class then one must do just that, earn it. Mcasey is a brilliant and demanding professor. One must make sure to attend class for valuable notes as well as understand the daily online quiz questions. His exams are very hard but he is very helpful and if you do good on the finak he will bump your grade up.

Calc is really hard but I loved Mr McAsey! He is one of the best teachers I've ever had--always willing to help and the nicest guy you'll ever meet. If you need to take math and hate it, take him! If you love math, defs take him.

Exams are very hard, hes a good teacher and very helpful but that doesnt make up for his exams.

He is the best math teacher you can ask for. He is always available to help. You will really learn in his class but you have to do all your homework and attend all classes. Just an awesome math teacher!

He is one of the most caring teachers I've ever had. This class is a big time commitment between going to class, homework, and studying, but he is willing to help you. I ended up dropping because I didn't have the time... but he told me that he will still help me next semester when I retake it with a different teacher. Hard class, but great guy!

This class is quite difficult to start with, but he does a great job of explaining things. When he teaches you a new concept, he draws a picture, relates it to Calc I, and goes through the derivation. If you don't understand something, just interrupt him, because he rarely turns around. I only wish he would give us more time on quizzes and tests.

Very hard class with him. You have a quiz every Friday, which you def need to study for & do the problems he assigns. The tests are very hard. However, he kept the 8am class awake with lighthearted jokes,& he's always willing to answer questions. Def go to office hours. He wants you to do well! Make sure you go to class for notes AND read the book!

The most amazing math teacher I've ever had. He truly knows his material. He teaches you the philosophy behind the mathematics so that you know where it comes from. He is answer to quickly and accurately answer any questions that you may have. With this said, be prepared to study a lot for this class! It's difficult, but fair.

He is surely one of the toughest teachers.He covers all of the materials in the book! So make sure to study harder at the end of the semester. His teaching style is great, just make sure you review right after class, do the homeworks, and study for the Friday quizzes.Stop looking for easy teachers who gives easy A's because there aren't any.

He is a very difficult professor, but he teaches math very well. He also treats classes as other professors should: where the professor is a resource that students pay to use, so he expects the students to ask questions and get help from him. He always says he is here for your benefit.

He wants you to learn the material. If you are having troubles, go to his office hours. He is always more than willing to help you until you understand it. He will never give you answers, instead he will have to get to them yourself.

Great teacher. Really funny and goofy. Learn the material from the ground up if you want to do well on his tests. relying on memorization and pattern finding will get you a C.

Math has never been my best strength, and to sum it up, this class did not do to much for me, i still hate math and will never be doing anything we did in class in my career. But with that said Michael is definitely a hard professor, he really knows his stuff and will answer any question with great detail, helpful in office hours as well.

He wants you to learn the material. If you ask a question, he answers with another question to get you to think and find the answer yourself. While there may not be any homework, you need to work problems he gives to fully understand the material. He is also very helpful in his office hours and is quite funny in class.

I guarantee that anyone who's rated this professor less than a 3 or a 4 is just lazy and has never actually had to work for a grade before. McAsey is a tough teacher but also a fair one. He makes what you have to know very clear & will make sure you understand how to do a problem and WHY you're doing certain things. do the HW and you'll get a B ez

This teacher was probably the best math teacher I've ever had in college and high school. He was always extremely energetic in class and would stop whenever to explain something to you. Office hours were the best I've ever had. He would go thru problems slowly so I could understand better. Homework is alot, but it really prepares you for the tests.

While this course was difficult, I felt that I have gotten a lot out of it. The tests are fair and cover the material that was lectured. The homework does not take too long to complete. He stops to answer questions that are asked by the students. I never even bought the textbook for this class, but an access code for online homework is required.

He's a real fungi and is very easy to talk to. Helpful and relaxed in office hours. I had trouble at the beginning because he doesn't explain things from the bottom up very well - it seems he has a disconnect from what the common student understands. Read the book section before he lectures on it, and what he says will make sense. Homework is fine

McAsey is a very good professor if you actually want to learn something. There is daily online homework, but it isn't too bad and it keeps you on top of the subjects. However, this means you really don't have to use the book that much. If you fall behind, it is very hard to catch up. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and him as a professor.

Just the right mix of goofy, caring, and knowing his stuff. Great professor always slows down to answer students questions. Make sure to do the practice problems if its a semester that he doesnt give online assignments. Clear on what material you need to study. Tough but fair grader. Very helpful in class and outside of class. Very accessible.

Dr. McAsey is the best math instructor I have ever had. He loves mathematics, and he shows it in his unique fun personality. McAsey is not the professor to take if you want to "learn" math, as in memorizing equations and plugging in numbers. He really wants you to learn the theory, which is what a mathematics education should be.

Calc 3 was my first college math class, and wow he goes fast. However, he was very available outside of class, and teaches in a style that makes sense and helps students understand the material better than most. He's quirky and cracks jokes a lot, which helps break the stress. Gives quizzes weekly, so you can't slack at all.

Professor McAsey remains my favorite professor at Bradley! His classes are really easy if you do the homework and go to class. The lectures are very interesting and engaging as well. He also is very available during his office hours and gives good homework tips!
