Great professor! Made math fun. Enjoyed coming to class everyday.

very funny teacher who loves math!! i love those cheesy jokes!

he is one of the best teachers in the university. he makes class very fun and i love his great jokes. he is the best.

It wasn't the easiest class, but it wasn't too hard either. He can be a little corny sometimes, but that's what made the class more fun. You could really tell that he loved teaching math.

He may not be the easiest professor in the world, but he's definatly one of the smartest. If you are having problems and willing to admit it he will help you how ever he can.

He goes extremely fast, so you kind of have to already know what you're doing to do well in the class. He'll help you if you need it though, and has pretty easy tests. Also has a good sense of humor.

I think he is a good teacher, if you know what you are doing. I haven't had any troubles with the class, but I have never had a hard time with math. I think he would be hard if you had no idea how to do any math at all.

you can always expect to take notes everyday then do an assignment online. pretty easy to follow, and he is an interesting man. he always sings "any other questions"

pretty good job, if you go to class everyday

This class was awesome. Just go to class and you will do okay. all assignments are online and there are like 10 problems they arent even due unitl the test. I would take him any day

Good class, not too hard. I loved the on-line assignments. He gave reviews for the test. Often the same questions from the review or homework would be on the test. He was a good guy, but kinda creepy, like wanted to be your friend. But knowning what i know now, i still would have taken his class.

He is a great teacher. He looks serious and hard but hes funny and cool. Sit up front, follow along, don't get distracted, copy everything and you'll do great. He is pretty helpful and easy to understand. Study for the tests.

HE IS AWESOME!!! I got an A in that class. He wants you to understand the material! He knows how to teach and knows his stuff. TAKE HIM!!!

His class was hard and learning how to use the calculator along side the problems wasnt fun either. But he is VERY helpful, VERY encouraging and will work with you till you get it. He has a nice sense of humor and quite intelligent. Do his homework and follow his instruction, you can get an A.

I HATE math and even had to take zero level classes. He really helped me out in this class. I understood it and ended up making a B. I always saw him and his daughter at the grocery store I worked at too. For people that struggle in math, I think he is a good teacher.

I thought the way he tought was an effective way. He has a great and humurous attitude and he is very helpful.

he is best....of all classes i am taking...he is he most easy one....

He is soooo smart! his homework assignments usually consist of about 12 problems and the class is very easy...he is extremely clear and very helpful. good guy, he'll make you laugh

Great guy! To give you an idea of how easy the class is, I missed two days and when I got back, I learned we had a test, which I took COLD, without knowing what was on it! Made an A! Is very helpful and easy to talk to. If you know your way around a graphing calculator, you will be FINE! Trust me!

I took the new computer version of the class. I took algebra the 1st semester of college and failed despite all efforts. I made an A this time round. The professors are happy to help and you have every oppertunity to do well. TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HATE MATH! TRUST ME! Even the "math retarded" like me can make an A. McClendon is also really awesome

I took the computer lab class & surprisingly got an "A"! I never even made As in highschool math. He's a really good teacher. He's smart... and just be cool with him bc he'll definitely help you out :]

He is the best math teacher I ever had.

He is a really good teacher! Very helpful! Easy A if you try. Definitely get him!

Great class. Very easy.

take the computer algebra class Strongly Recommended. God so stupid and easy. just study the study guide for the test and u'll get a very easy A. Mclendon is awesome a very nice guy i really liked him

Professor McClendon is extremely helpful. All you have to do is put forth the effort. He has a way of explaining so that you understand a little better. This is my worst subject, but as long as you are willing to ask for help when you need it and do the work you should have no problem.

Calc + Stat Class really nice and super easy....Show up to class take a lot of notes and your work will show for itself...Im generally lazy in math no h/w etc average C's in classes like this but made an "A" nice guy test study sheets are pratically TEST!

There was a lot of homework, butthe online site is very userfriendly and helpful. My class was only online and I did well. Dr. McClendon was very helpful and always returned emails. A great online class!

Took the online course. Missed two the deadline for 2 assignments and couldn't take the 3rd test because you have to make at least 60% on the previous assignment before you can move on. Emailed him about it and he extended my deadline. Online course isn't hard as long as you do the work.

I had him for Calculus 1. Graded homework is essentially extra credit. In fact, he states in the syllabus that the HW could raise your grade by 2 letter grades! He lets you use a notecard on all the exams, and his tests are similar to the practice tests. Honestly, if you do all the homework, and got C's on all the tests, you'll still get an A!

Dr. McClendon is a really cool guy. He can often get off topic talking about the movie "Avatar" (he loves it) or about what we did over the weekend though. He didn't use the time in class quite efficiently as he could have so therefore, he had to cram everything in really fast before our final. Lectures go really fast so PAY ATTENTION!

His class is easy overall but his teaching style is hard for most people.I personally loved it because it was challenging and made you think outside the box instead of memorizing fifty equations.To most of the slower more tunnel visioned population,I do not recommend him but he's wonderful for people who love math or are good at it.Lots of homework

He's challenging but helpful and available during office hours and at other times. I would recommend this professor. It's challenging and also possible to get an A in his class.

I took the online course and it was great. I didn't need a book because all the material is on MY Math Lab online. You have three chances on each test.You must make above a 60% on each homework assignment to move on.I would recommend this class.

Took him for Plan Trig freshman year, very smart, funny makes class interesting; grades homework on a curve and only assigns like 7 problems at a time! Never doesn't more than an hour on homework and made a B! :) tests can be difficult but or the most part you learn a lot and it's not a total bore!

Brilliant mind, good sense of humor, and a real passion. He is not easy, but he IS fair. And by challenging you, he does a fantastic job of helping you to understand. I highly recommend him but only if you're serious about math. He eats the lazy kids alive.

Class is hard, but I love him! He is sarcastic, so if you don't have a sense of humor you probably don't want to take him, but if you actually try and pay attention he is great! He is challenging, but you learn a lot. He won't just give you a grade, but you will know what you are doing when you are done with his class.

He wants you to succeed, and he is available and willing to help you. He is brilliant, and sometimes forgets that not everyone is as well. However, I had no problems in this class, but I showed up every day, took notes, and when I was not 100% clear on something, I asked him questions after class, and he fixed that right up. Best professor I've had

I took Dr. McClendon class online, he was a great help, responded to my emails the same day. I recommend him

I'm taking his online class and I really like it! He responds to emails quickly and is more than willing to extend deadlines for you. The class is entirely through My Math Lab, which has tons of examples and is really great to learn from. The assignments are due in bulk, so you're not stressing all the time about getting stuff done. Great class!!

Took for calc 3 and 4... Gives a quiz over the hw every class- they are open notes/hw so if you do the hw, you can ace every quiz. Grades easily on tests and gives a similar study guide. If you don't go to class, you won't pass because of the quizzes, but it's not necessary to pay attention. Gives answers and shows work in office hours.

Much easier than the regular College Algebra class. Everything is through MyMathLab and you are able to improve your homework grade until you are satisfied with the grade. You have 3 attempts for the 3 exams except for the final. Absolutely recommend this online class.

He could be tough in the beginning but if you would ask him for help in anything he won't let you go without satisfying your question. Also he gives lots of Extra Credit which in the end is good for your grade. I would say he is one of the best professors i had. Thanks Professor McClendon.

He assigns homework almost every class period. He grades tough, but don't be afraid because there will be a curve. He gives out exam reviews that are very similar to his exams. Do the review and you can do well on the test.

This is the most understanding professor I have literally ever had. My points online were not counting, literally, none. He not only opened everything back up for me to catch up but opened the exam up (without having to get points) so I could take it and not make a 0. If I ever see his name on another math course I will be the 1st to sign up for it

I took his class and he told us what we needed to know for exams. His study guides for the exams were very similar, if not identical to the exams. If you had any question, he would answer it and not make you feel stupid. He is a great teacher and I would certainly take him again!!!!!

I took Dr. McClendon for my calculus 4- class. He teaches stuff and makes you understand it. If you are ready to learn he will help you. If you are not ready to learn, even god cannot help you. LOL!

I had this professor for applied algebra. I'm not gifted in math but he finds multiple ways to make you understand the material. Always available on email. Let's you take exams another day if not prepared. His grading system is where the homework and exams are the same percentage. One bad test won't make you fail. Overall really nice guy.

Dr. McClendon is a nice professor, although I would say this class was hard compared to Calculus 1, 2, 3, and his grading was a bit tough compared to some other professors. So if you don't work hard, you may fail his class. However, if you wish to work hard for the course, you can ask him questions after class, he will help students to learn.

Compared to the other reviews, this semester for Applied Algebra he had a note guide so we'd know what he's talking about. Regarding homework, it was average, I had classes MWF and we'd just get homework for those days. One thing I'd recommend is always asking questions because the material can be confusing, but he's good at clearing up issues.

He's unintentionally funny and a likable guy. He works with his students and explains things well. He's very particular about which methods u use, but it's for good reason as his methods shown in class are far easier. He assigns a relatively large amount of homework and is a tough grader. He sometimes gets an attitude and may be an ass at times.

Makes it very easy to make stuff up including tests and sees us as humans, not just as students. He understands when life happens and will let students redeem their grades. As long as you do the homework and study guides the test comes very easily. At the moment the method he teaches may be confusing but in time will work for you in the long run.

You are responsible for everything he writes on the chalkboard, everything he says, and everything he thinks. Ha ha. One of the best professors I've ever had

He's a lot better than many other professors in the department. Gives lots of homework, but that also means a lot of feedback on where you can improve. Drops the lowest two exam scores. Provides a study guide for exams with questions that are very similar to the test. Very kind professor and sees his students as human beings with feelings.

Absolutely incredible professor. I'm not the greatest at math, however Dr. McClendon's lessons provided clear and easy to understand methods. Outside of class he is very accessible and very understanding on personal issues that may cause absence during tests. Has a great sense of humor and gets to know his students very well!

Dr. McClendon is my favorite teacher so far at UCO. I wish I could take other classes with him!

Professor McClendon can be confusing at times, but if you put in the work, he's helpful and cares about students' learning. The class is challenging, but Unstuck study and the free textbook are great study aids.
