Makes math enjoyable
He is the best math teacher that I have had in all of my schooling from elementary to college. He explains the material very well. I am a non-traditional student and he made it very easy for me. I received an A in his class.
He is a fun loving guy and all but I wish that he would have made everything easier to understand. He was kind of fast pace. Not good for students who have trouble with math.

very good exelent teacher wish all teachers were like him
An honest Professor that taught you everything you needed to know in a way everyone could understand. Unlike some.... he KNOWS what he's talking about and doesn't need to teach from a piece of paper.
He make the process of learning math fun! I really enjoy his teaching style and enthusiasm over his topic. His "private conversations" and car/hot-air balloon examples allowed for easy swallowing of concepts and a deeper understanding of Stats.
Don't be afraid of his survey of math class, even if you hate math. It's a straight forward class and when I took this class he didn't expect you to hand in homework. Wish high school was like that.
There was nothing I didn't enjoy about his class. He made math interesting. He explained concepts thoroughly and presented the material in a way that I could understand. I never wanted to miss a class. I recommend him to anyone who is apprehensive about taking a math class.

Brilliant explanations of difficult concepts. Best math teacher I've ever had. Fantastic classroom presence. If you can get him for math, do so. Made Calculus easy!
awsome teacher, great guy, standup comedy and math class all in one. All teachers should learn from this guy!
Great guy you have to have him to believe it.
Very easy to understand and genuinly concerned. Recommended to anybody!
Great teacher. Never fell asleep because he was an interesting and hilarious teacher! I learned alot. But you really have to do the homework to do well. But gotta say one of the best teacher's at MCC very personable and loved all his stories!
I took Calc with Zwick a few times (yes a few), and he was a great teacher. Always went the extra mile to help his students.
very good teacher. made calc easy to understand and genuinely fun. very interesting and intriguing person to be around, highly recommended.
I took calculus 1 with him. Makes everything very clear and understandable. Homework load was tolerable and applied to all the tests. Great guy, just dont get on his bad side. If you are scared of taking calculus take him.

This is the best teacher I've ever had! He made Calculus easy and I liked class so much I didn't miss one. DO NOT TAKE ANYONE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN CALCULUS. He is the best.
he is an awesome teacher and i would recommend him to anybody!!!!
He was very VERY cool. He didn't check homework, so I never really did it. Thats the only reason I got a D. I know I would've gotten an A if I tried.
He is an amazing teacher, everybody in our class like his and likes to joke around which makes life easier in that class. Very nice guy and a great outgoing attitude
This professor is the best I ever had. He really enjoys his job and will make it fun for the class. His exams are esay...but you must keep up with your work (which is not too hard). I really enjoyed this class and will continue with this professor in calc 2._
Best professor EVER!
Mr. Zwick's great. He may come off as being a mean guy, but he's got a heart of gold. His classes can be a bit exasperating if you are a dedicated student, as he has issues controlling the troublemakers, but he is skilled in what he teaches.
So far he is by the best teacher ive ever had. He makes class fun rather than just coming in and teaching. If you have a chance to get him, definately take advantage of it.
Best professor ever! He is very down to earth and interesting. the only class i wouldnt end up skipping was calc with this guy he is awesome!
Definitely one of the best professors I've had. Does notes on the board, goes over material enough that the class understands it but not so much that it becomes redundant. Usually nice, though he can be kind of funny about people joking around with him, even though he jokes around a lot himself. Engaging and makes material interesting.
I am now 34 years old returning to college in NC. I attended MCC over ten years ago and the only professor that I remember was Mr. Zwick. Professors just don't get any better than that! He's definately one of the best!
Zwick is the man. He makes the most boring subject in the world actually interesting. Highly recommended professor.
awesome teacher, fantastic help, will be seeing him in calc 1 this coming semester!
Incredibly entertaining teacher. Funny funny man, take his classes because he won't be around much longer.
Great Professor and would definitly recommend him as a math teacher. He teaches where you understand. Very smart man. Love his jokes. Mr. Zwick you rock. Makes you WANT to learn math.
He was the best math teacher I ever had. If you have a chance to take one of his classes do it.
Mr. Zwick is consistent and expectations are met, he will let you know what to expect on exams and helpful in preparing for the final. He teaches in a way that is thorough and easy to understand. He is very funn, you'll have a blast in his class. He's also a good man. It was an honor to have him as a teacher.
He was an ok teacher, for me there was not alot of clarity. Got off on a lot of tangents that were very confusing. If you do yoru work and pay attention you will most likely do ok. Can be pretty funny at times though
awesome teacher, he keeps everyone interested and cares if you understand the material or not, as long as you go to class and pay attention you will be fine, homework isn't a must, but if you are not good in math you should do it. He gives practice take home tests and the test in class is the same but diff numbers!! very funny! you will like him!!
This guy is the best! If you get a chance to take him - do it!
He was very good, But don't you fall aslep in his class or yawn, or have you phone ring or leave class in the middle. If you can keep to this he is the best teacher in the world
He's really good. You'll really learn a lot more than just math in class!
AMAZING TEACHER! Best teacher I've ever had in math. Not only does he know what he's talking about, he's hilarious at the same time! I will definitely be taking Calc II with him next semester. If you pay attention in class, don't fall asleep, take notes, and try to learn, he will show you his knowledge and help you understand as best as you can.
Fantastic teacher. He's everything that you'd want in a professor. I highly recommend his class!
ONE of the worst math teachers I've ever had. I was in his class for about 3 weeks and dropped. I didn't learn anything. He is quirky and weird- I am very good at math, I plan to take it again with someone else, but I didn't enjoy his teaching style at all. Not recommended, although he was funny sometimes.
he is awesome
He is an absolutely wonderful professor. I hate Math and have never been good at it. He makes it fun!!! He is so funny too...very refreshing class. He is very helpful and the clarity of the class is great. I'm taking him again next semester and i would reccomend him to anyone
Best Teacher Ever! Awesome Professor! Do your homework and you'll be okay. Very funny and keeps class interesting, can't wait to take Calc II with him.
He's the only reason I get up and go to a 9:00 class... he's awesome and cracks everyone up constantly... GREAT TEACHER
LoVE hIM
Prof Zwick is the kind of teacher you want for math. Very knowledgeable, helpful, interesting. I loved going to MATH class
I hold a previous bachelor's degree and this is the best professor I have ever had! A man who doesn't take life too seriously. Actually cares about his students and makes learning fun, all the time you are laughing. If you do the practice exams he gives out you will get an A on the exam, I promise! I will be taking calc. with him!
good teacher very funny
This teacher showed me how fun math can be! Even if you don't like math and never will, he makes it easy to understand the problems. Plus he's so funny! Take this professor!
Professor Zwick's lectures are invigorating! I'm sure he could teach any subject and make it great. He presents a workman's approach to calculus; only a few proofs, and then at every step in solving a problem he gives you insight into the thinking that lead you there, so he makes his years of experience yours! Highly recommended and fun. Ooh! ooh!
This teacher is the best math teacher that I have ever had. He talks to you as if you are an intellectual adult. His teaching style is flawless. I actually was a failing math student in High School...not anymore. I have aced every test he gave. Watch out for his early dismissal tricks. haha. Ooh! Ooh!...hahaha
GREATEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER! calc 2 is supposed to be the hardest of the calcs but he made is easy and understandable. Jokes around and makes class fun but you learn all at the same time. Always there to help you and if you can take every math class possible with him!
Best Math teacher I've ever had. I was coming off a year of getting little to no instruction from my teacher and he had me up to speed with calculus within a few weeks. Go to class, do the homework.
One of the best math teachers, extremely funny, fair and this guy is a genius. Will help you in any way you need. I didn't do homework so I did poorly.
I am a guy and I wish I looked like him in his age. He is the God of math, has been teaching for ever. Take him and be greatful for the A you earned!
greatest math teacher ever first time i took this course i failed it. When i took it with him i ace it
Great teacher, easy to understand, funny
I took calc II over the summer. He made the class interesting and it was a breeze. Nevertheless calc II is hard in general so be prepared to do a LOT of practice questions if you want to do good in class. I think he is the best calc professor out there! if you have a chance get him!!!
I took this class before with other teachers but he is by far the most helpful. He's great I would recommend him to all.he is not hard plus he has a wonderful teaching method
Professor Zwick is a wonderful person! I wish I had him for other classes in the past. It seems he is getting grumpy as he nears retirement, however that does not change my overall impression of him. Very fun! Extremely clear lecture. Wonderful testing strategy. I would and have recommend him to any student.
A great teacher, funny, helpful and FAIR. Always willing to answer questions. hCant ask more from a teacher
I am a Zwickster from 15 yrs ago. I still remember what a great teacher he was. I recommend him very highly- he puts things in understandable terms. Just awesome and passionate about math!
Sitting in class with him right now on the first day. He was a little long winded on college mandated statements, rightfully so, but an easy to understand and follow professor. I like him.
One of the best professors you will ever have. Sincere, knows his stuff, funny and wants you to succed. Highly highly reccomended! Get in his class before he retiers.
AMAZING. My mom had his class, and now I have had him for Mth 104 & 165. I HATE algebra and never thought anyone could make that class so interesting I wish I had a prof. like him for all of my classes. Not only is he a great prof. & knows what he is talking about but he is a great person and you should be honored to be able to be in his class!!!!
Was a very interesting professor to listen to and was able to keep student focus. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had in math. He wont make the class easy for you but there's no reason anyone can't do well in his class. I would highly recommend him if you can get him.
Prof. Zwick is the best math theacher I have ever had. He makes the class interesting, he's helpfull, funny. I can go on and on about all his qualities. He's retiring soon, so take his class while you can. I just love his class. I'll miss him very much
Professor Zwick was the best professor ever!
Loved his class
Best calc teacher ive ever had. Funny and interesting. Ver helpful if you put work in.
Yes Prof Zwick is a funny, but he doesn't give step-by-step processes to help solve hard equations, and the tests look nothing like the examples he gives in class and the final is like a bomb in your face. I'm taking precalc now and reviewing everything from his class and actually understand it now. do not recommend if you really struggle with math
Best prof. ever. Will be very sad when he retires, he will be missed! If you have the chance to take a class with him do it, you'll be glad you did!
Long live the king! The greatest professor I have had yet. Zwick will be missed when he is gone.
I love zwick's class he is such a sweet person probably one of the nicest person i ever met in my life. he is very funny and i enjoy being in his class. he is truly a very happy person, he loves life as well as his self ms. Bev(his wife) and his students.
He is unorganized and doesn't care about teaching the right material. He is constantly making mistakes and when a student points it out he says their wrong, checks his notes, and realizes that they're right. He should have retired last year and he agrees. He only stayed for the benefits. If you plan to take calc, find a different precalc teacher.
BEST TEACHER EVER! Never checks homework and every test we took was either take home or he gave us a sheet to study from and the test was the exact same questions from the study sheet, even for the final! If he ever comes back take him. He's sarcastic but a great guy!!
Amazing teacher! My 2nd fav teacher besides prof striebich. Gave a lot of examples for notes, study guides for tests that had the same problems on the test! Gave example problems that would be on the final. Fair, hilarious, nice, easy. I have no idea how so many people in my class were failing.
Really a great professor! He was exceptional at explaining math and concepts of the course. About 1/2 of 175 is review of 165 but Zwick was actually able to explain a lot of the things that my prior math teacher said "it just because that's how you do it." Would definitely take him again and again!
PROF. ZWICK was my most FAVORITE teacher i have ever had. HALARIOUS!!!!!!! so down to earth great teacher. i hope he gets to read all his comments on this thing some day because im sure probably 95% of them are about how he is a favorite to many students. hes the bestttt!!!!!!!!!!
Zwick is beyond the best math teacher I have ever had. "no...yes...no...um well sort of yeah actually no." it's love.
Lectures are worth going to and he keeps you entertained. Can be very unclear at times.
Zwick is a great teacher and so far my favorite math teacher. he does examples in class to show you how to do problems, but you have to take your own time to practice the material with the suggested problems he gives you otherwise this class will be disastrous. If you are struggling or don't understand he will try his best to clarify. Great Profs!
Zwick is easily the best math professor I have ever had. His lectures are very clear, and he always adds a bit of humor. Definitely take a class with him if you have the chance.
He is a wonderful Professor.
Great teacher! Got a C last year. Took it at school with Zwick and got an A. The hw is not graded or handed in. I strongly suggest taking serious notes in class. There was a lot of work on the final which we never went over in class. However, I studied the final review packet in depth and aced the final! Zwick and Kilner are the best.
Prof. Zwick was one of my favorite professor's at MCC. I found his lectures to be entertaining and helpful. As long as you take good notes during the lectures you will do well on the tests. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to take MTH 165.
Professor Zwick teaches with such clarity, he could teach calc to a fifth grade student.
This guy! He cares about his students and made me feel respected, something I find lacking in many professors. He has methods of shocking your system randomly with shouts or odd questions about saying things in spanish. Very entertaining and will attempt to take calc 2 with him if possible.
Will go above and beyond to make sure you understand. Genuinely a good person who wants his students to do well.
