Good teacher, class well paced, makes you work a bit— he's fond of quizzes

Good instructor. Easy class if you follow along.

great teacher, always asked how we were doing and for questions

At first I didn't like him because he is tough, but he is a good teacher.

Tests are very hard. His teaching is alright, needs more people skills.

Let me work at my own pace so I wasn't sitting around waiting for slow people.

very nice guy and extremely patient and helpful. highly recommended!!

Very nice guy! Helps students with any problems. Take his class...a really good and helpful teacher.

Really nice guy. Will bend over backwards to help you but tends to teach over your head and goes too fast.

He was very helpful and really made me understand the material. If you're willing to do the work and put forth an effort, you will do fine.

Very Helpful. He made sure you understood the material

Mr. Steinfort was extremely helpful and approachable. He does have a dry sense of humor, but is a nice guy who will help you out whenever you need it.

If you are a student who takes learning seriously, Steinfort is a godsend. He truly wants every student in his classes to learn the material. He loves to teach.If you are a dull-witted latchkey kid, & need infotainment 24/7 in order to learn,go elsewhere.

Serious students should take him. He is willing to go the extra mile if you don't understand something. He expects respect from the students and also will give you respect. Keeps his classroom under quiet control. Great guy.

If you want to learn, he is the teacher for you. IF you want to goof off and just slide by, you better find another teacher. He appreciates serious students and will help them get ahead to understand the material. Has no patience for the goof off student.

If you follow syllabus & are a serious student, Steinfort is very easy & answers emails w/ in a couple of days.

I learned a lot and the expectations for the class are clear. I took the computer class and enjoyed it immensely. He took time to make sure everyone understood the subject and repeatedly went over the homework. If you keep up with the homework and don't get behind, you will do fine.

Very helpful if you show initiative. He respects students who are serious in there studies. He isn't the quickest to respond or post grades. If you email him directly rather than on the discussion board he seems to get back you quicker. If you are independant & don't procrastinate this is the class to take. An A is possible w/ a little effort.

In his defense, I liked him alot, he was really funny after you got to know him it just takes him to open up. When you show interest in learning he will show interest in teaching you! I took his summer class and thought it was great, could not have learned it any better from anyone else!

I took the computer-mediated model, and it's a huge pain. Liked Steinfort though. He was always willing to explain a prob, and would help you after class if you needed it. I don't ever remeber him being arrogant...

WOW! WOW! WOW! The best math teacher I have ever had!!! I always hated math and now I love it. He totally goes over everything and over it if need be. If he would "get frusted at a student for not getting it," then it would be because he already explained it 3-5 times and your not getting a part that you should have learned high school. I used

He's a great professor, always willing to help, but don't get me wrong...he's not just an easy A. You have to learn to succeed with this guy! But that's what college is for.

Thought he was a pretty good teacher. He would always try his best to answer any questions. He stayed after class to help with problems. Overall he helped me understand math, and thats not easy for me to do!

I absolutely loved Mr. Steinfort. He was so nice, and so enthusiastic about teaching...you could tell that he really, genuinely cared about us, and wanted us to learn. He encourages questions, and does his best in making sure that everyone understands the material completely. He will care if you do.

Professor Steinfort was a great teacher. He is always willing to work with you.

Mr. Steinfort is a good teacher. He cares about his students, and is willing to give his time to help you understand it better. I have never done good in algebra, and I managed an A in this class. I'd recommend taking the PLATO learning method if you have trouble with algebra.

He's a decent caring helpfull teacher however the entire class is pretty much taught to you by a computer program. He is there to assist if you don't understand the program but i dont understand why attendance is mandatory.

Professor Steinfort was really a great teacher. I made sure that I kept up with my assignments and got an A in the class. If you really give an effort, he will definitely see that and be all the more willing to help you out. He is genuinely a very nice guy. As long as you keep up with your work, you will be just fine!!

Had his hybrid class. He's not too bad. Just do the work and the quizzes and you'll be okay.

Excellent teacher. Makes sure that people understand. I am finally understanding math. He has to be good to teach me so well in my worst subject.

Great professor. Class is interesting. Must have internet access at home for the class-or you will forever be in a computer lab. Internet software is used for about 80% of class. Several offline lessons. If you keep up with your work, you will have no problem with class. Graphing Calculator is needed.

Great prof. teaches well and does an excellent job with presenting the info. Easy Class

I thought that he was a really good teacher. He explained everything well. I took a hybrid class with him, if you don't go to class it is easy to fall behind. I didn't like the internet assingments but they were fairly easy. His tests were pretty hard, he definetly chose the harder problems to test on.

Excellent professor! He really worked with each of us to ensure that we understood the material. If you don't understand something that he's going over, don't be afraid to ask. He really knows the matierial, and will help you understand it, too. I would highly reccomend him.

He was a frendly teacher. He used both computer assisted learning and in class explaination to get the subject across.

He teaches math better than any teacher I've had in the past! I actually get it, which is amazing to me. Take notes and go to class and you'll succeed. He's very helpful when you don't understand something and has a fun sense of humor. I enjoyed his class very much.

Helpfull

Don't come to class and not expect to work. If you think you'll skate by with minimal effort, you're sorely mistaken. Clear teacher, very positive attitude, helpful and structured. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed Prof. Steinfort's classes, I had him for 097 & 098. He made sure we understood the concepts of the mathematics he was teaching.

I enjoyed Taking 097 with Prof. Steinfort and plan to take 098 with him as well. He was slightly late for class often, but understood as he teaches several classes. Great instructor, but will not baby you along.

I learned a lot from Steinfort, he is a good professor.

I just got done taking MA098 and yes the class was tougher than MA097 but what would you expect. Mr Steinfort is an excellent teacher. If he was teaching any other math classes i would take him in a heartbeat.

He was a GREAT professor!! I made sure to have him for both math courses I needed. He has cheesy jokes, but I got a kick out of them! If you show you participate and are trying he is more than willing to help you out and give extra time. The tests are long but study and ask questions you will do fine. Ask ?s if you don't understand he'll help!

Mr. Steinfort is a very helpful teacher. He's also hilarious. Most days I'm excited to come to class and I HATE math.

He loves what he teaches and seems to really enjoy doing it. The only part I disliked about his class is the online section of it.

great prof... helpful teacher... good guy

I enjoyed Professor Steinfort's class. He is an instructor that really cares about his students and wants to see them through the whole semester. I took him from MA 098 and 107 because he did the impossible: made math understandable. If you show up to class and are engaged, you should pass. Nonetheless, he is ready to offer additional help.

I really struggle with math already but taking it with Mr. Steinfort helped a lot! Lots of homework but the practice prepares you for test. Don't fall behind because he does teach 2 lessons each night. Ask questions and participate and he will go over the problem until you understand. Bad thing is your grade is only based on Test! Great professor!

Great teacher whos willing to help you make it

My whole life i thought i couldnt math. I took steinfort for 98+107 and absolutely loved it. I built history with him and look forward to his class. I sit front row and always ask question. With math, you have to put the time in to get good results. I see it inspires him when i understand new material. He wants his students to succeed. PRACTICE

Has office hours, used text book, gives homework every night and make sure you do it because it does prepare you for tests. He does teach different and faster than other professors but he makes sure you understand it. If you ask questions he knows youre trying to learn so he always makes sure you personally understand it.

Great teacher, really cares about how students are perceiving and taking in the knowledge and core of the course.

Really solid choice. Kinda awkward but hes passionate. No (mandatory) homework and doesnt care if youre late.

Mr. Steinfort can be a little hard to read and a little intimidating at first. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he will try to answer your questions. I appreciate the fact that makes time during class to go over the homework given. He is engaging so be ready to answer questions in class. I would take him again.

He is very fair and moves slowly through the material. I always felt like I could ask questions and would explain the answer until I understood. You must attend this class each time or you will fall behind. It's a math class, so each lesson builds on its self. Only 4 tests and the final. The home is not checked but I would recommend doing it.

Professor Steinfort is a great professor; he explains the material well, willing to help when asked, is respectful, and grades quicker than any professor I've ever had. He has four tests and one exam as part of the grade, so make sure you do well on all of them. A good indication that you'll ace a test is if you've mastered all the homework.

Awesome, awesome teacher! Uses his time wisely and explains subjects you dont understand! He doesnt grade homework but you have to do the homework to understand whats going on in class. Other than that, hes great! He does only grade by quizzes and tests but he grades fairly. He can be monotone but he makes sure you understand and doesnt rush!

His lecture's tend to be dry/monotone for the first few weeks but once he warms up he's a really nice guy. Lots of homework, but you get some time each class to work on it and get help from him if needed. Always willing to help, but if you don't understand something, he isnt great at explaining it another way. Homework not graded, just 7 tests.

Just finished MA97 with him. Though he's a bit dry & quirky, he's humble, kind, and fair. Passionate about math, he will go out of his way to help you. Grades solely on tests; suggests you do homework (so do I!) in order to be prepared for the tests. Makes himself available during class, inviting you to "put him to work." I will take 98 with him.

He is a nice person and he teaches very clear, however, his voice is very monotone and calming so you need to make sure to stay awake which can be very hard. He is a traditional (no technology) teacher, but he is fair with grading and he will always help you if you need tutoring or more resources to succeed.

I took this class online and I would not recommend it, Michael Steinfort is an amazing teacher but if you are a question asker please do not take this class online. I had to because of COVID and it's been extremely stressful and I am a student who likes to be on top of things and I put the work in. It's so hard to remember when it's spread out

Professor Steinfort is great. We only did tests for our class and they were not that bad. There are lots of videos to help you through the class. Overall pretty good class and professor.

Professor Steinfort was an awesome teacher, he works with his students if you make the effort to communicate. Learning math online is already extremely difficult but he helps at trying to make it easier! Would take this class again but in person because I like to ask lots of questions and online doesn't help with that.

As an online math professor, he is very helpful with questions and explains in detail. He is patient and is good for slow paced students. He does not put in homework grades until the end, so if that's a deal breaker, don't take. Overall no complaints, good professor.

He was a great professor. His personality is dull, but you'll survive. He went over the class material well and was very lenient with homework and objectives. The entire course was used from Aleks. He really cares for his students and want us to succeed. Overall I would take this course again. He's great!

Class is entirely on ALEKS, which means tests are difficult to study for. You can work ahead easily, and homework assignments have unlimited attempts. Grading is also entirely through ALEKS, he just enters the grades into Blackboard after tests. Review videos are long but only necessary if you're really struggling with a concept.

I have taken two of Professor Steinfort's classes. He gives good lectures and explains well. He uses Aleks site, as it was an online course. The Aleks site was very easy to use and navigate. Do your homework, take notes and you should do well on the tests. He responds pretty quickly to emails as well.

Professor Steinfort was amazing- he was quick with responses, and helpful on tricky tips. I received a B for a grade because I did minimum work and did not study. Everything is through Aleks which is relatively easy, and fun to study. His lectures are very long and boring, but are helpful for hard problems. I would definitely advise him!!!!

great teacher worked very well with my accessability needs

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. Very skilled with his subject. I struggle HARD with math, and he gave me confidence in my math skills. I actually ENJOY math now?! Everyone here is complaining about test heavy, but I don't think that grading system is up to the professor 🤷‍♀️. Very caring, wears fun Hawaiian shirts.
