Helpful if you ask

Helpful if you ask after class or during office hours.

Great class and great instructor. He gives a lot of in-class quizzes, but you can work with others and he will help if you ask him. He teaches very clearly, and homework is never collected!! He also sometimes does a magic trick...very fun class!

sometimes not very clear but explains very well when you ask questions. always be prepared for quizzes! tries to pick who is having difficulty and give them the help they need in class.

Good at getting concepts across. Is also very helpful if you actually try to get help. His tests are a bit difficult, not allowing a lot of time- he likes to combine what he's taught you to see if you know your stuff. The final was forgiving.

Good lecturer but gives tests that are way too long. If you have to stop and think about something on the test, even for 2 minutes, you will not finish the test. He is yet another crappy EWU math program. It has got to be one of the worse math departments in the country.

This guy is a great instructor with great magic tricks. He gives a lot of in class quizes which are damn easy, its like handing out a free 10 pts every time. Tests are overall not to bad. I would definetly take him again.

I really enjoyed this class-but it was a challenge!!!! He expects students to do the homework, understand it, and come to class regularly- he gives hard tests also. But he does challenge students to do more than go through the motions of math and actually think about it.

his class was easy if you go to class

Mike is a great math teacher, but damn his tests are long. I need more time to complete the required problems. Always ready to give help, and he really wants to see all of his students succed. If you want to take math, any teacher will do. If you want to learn math, take Grahm.

Really nice guy with a fun attitude towards math. Just do all of the homework and go to class everyday for his pop quizes (which are fairly easy because you can ask your classmates) and he will help you get through the class!

Mike is a good instrutor. He explains calculus well and is easy to listen too. He does not take homework, but he does do a quiz, usually once a week. His tests are fair as is his grading.

Great teacher. Makes it fun to learn.

Great teacher, funny, easy to understand, and he makes everything clear. He draws pictures to help you visualize what you are trying to do. Really great. No homework but group quizes about once a week. Tests are easy if you practice suggested problems from the book. He will stay and help if you have questions or you can stop by his office anytime.

He is a very nice man with a fun personality. He gives out quizzes frequently but you get to work with group members and he will help out if you ask. Very easy. Learn the material because he will not grade on a curve, but the material is easy to understand.

very nice fun personality. fair grader.

Assigns homework but does not collect it, but it a good idea to do it anyway. There is usually a quiz once a week that you can work with a partner on, and he will help you out a ton if you ask. I found the tests the hardest part of the class and often did not do very well. Course material is helpful to everyday life.

Be sure to take your math classes from Graham! He is super nice and very helpful, more than willing to explain things after class, in his office, or by email. He's not easy, but only because he wants you to know the math. He enjoys math and always talks about the poetry of it. His subtle, but ROFL kind of humor is great. Take his class!!! :)

Mike is awesome. He is clear and concise. Very helpful and extremely fair. He will work problem after problem in order to help students understand what is going on. I should have studied more so I got a lower grade-not his fault-mine alone. Take his class as I passed it on the first try.

Fantastic instructor!!! His sense of humor's hilarious an that helps to make class fun. Class isn't mandatory, but go to it, he has pop quizzes that are great learning experiences. No homework, but the problems are very useful. He'll answer all of your questions and even stay after class to do so. If you have to take calc, take it from Graham! :)

Good Professor! Can tell he really enjoys what he does and his jokes lighten up class. The class was hard, but it's Calc 3, so that's expected. Go to class and do the suggested problems! The pop quizes really do help you learn the matierial too so make sure you're there for them!

Great teacher! Wouldnt take another math class from anybody else. You have to go to class to pass.

Very helpful, made me interested in what I learned. I could go to him for help anytime.

Great teacher, he is witty and very funny, he is very kind and willing to help anyone wh asks for help. He is great at explaining and able to apply the work to real world stuff so it makes more sense. All around great Prof. made math less scary :) this is his calling for sure!!

Pretty good overall class

funny

Good teacher, his tests are near impossible though.

Graham is awesome! He is the best math professor I have ever had. Though we cover the material at a quick speed, Graham does a really good job at helping students gain a deep understanding of important concepts. You have to work hard to get a good grade, but the time is worth it.

Best teacher, best math class, he was great!

By far one of my favorite teachers ever. Really great sense of humor and really enjoys the subject and cares about students learning. Quizzes are very helpful. He gives you the whole class, lets you work with others, and walks around and gives help. Tests aren't overly challenging if you understand the material. Highly recommend him. Great person.

My favorite math professor by far. Really helpful and has a great sense of humor. If I needed more math classes, I would only take them from him.

Very great teacher!! he is very kind and has a dry humor. His quizzes are easy bc he lets you partner up, but you really got to know your material. the tests can be difficult.

Great teacher with a good sense of humor, sometimes gets lost within his own examples, but generally he always gets back on track. You can work with other people on his quizzes and he walks around and answers questions. quizzes are more or less same as tests, fair. NO assigned homework just practice problems no reason not to get an A if you work.

Very helpful teacher he really explains math concepts in every way possible so you can get the most out of your learning. loves his subject. Always willing to help and explain things in other ways, math is a hard subject but he makes it clear and simple as long as you put in your work

Do the suggested HW and you cant fail.

Graham's tests are short and to the point, covering the core topics of each chapter. He grades and returns almost every test and quiz within a day, including some feedback. He will answer questions every day at the start of class if a homework problem does not make sense. I highly recommended him if you get the chance.

He's not the easiest, there's no doubt that you have to put in some substantial hours of studying to get a good grade. He is a good teacher, though. His test are just a little bit too long.

Never assigns homework, but you better do it if you want to be able to pass the tests.

THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. So clear and straight forward in lecture, Hilarious and loves to work with you one on one. Group quizzes! Grades on a slight curve. Study and you will do fine!

He is a tough grader that is not lenient if you make a mistake. He gives twelve pop quizzes and drops the two lowest scores. His tests are very hard but he does good lectures. He gives suggested problems... Do them! You will most definitely need the book for this class.

He does give hard tests and grades more harshly on tests than on quizzes. His lectures are really good and he tries to explain when you might actually use the concepts you are learning which is nice. Very helpful on quizzes and willing to answer any questions you might have. Overall really enjoyed the class.

Great guy. Gives very detailed lectures and will answer any questions if you are confused. Has a tendency to get distracted. Study and do suggested problems to get a good grade. Harsh grader, but totally worth it. I really enjoyed this class. Random quizzes so go to class, but on all quizzes you are allowed to work together & ask him questions.

Doesn't use web assign and doesn't grade hw, but it played a big part in doing well on quizzes and exams. He drops 2 lowest quiz scores out of 12 which helps and his lectures were generally clear. He tells you exactly what to study and expect for exams. He's very passionate about math and answers questions. Like any math class it requires effort.

Hard to be accurate on this. He will kill your gpa if you take the class casually. But if you come to the class willing to put in LOTS of time studying, he is a good as you'll get. The feedback and help he gives is amazing. He really cares, but he can't help a person who doesn't study. I took him in calc 2, it was tough. Oh, also, he's hilarious.

There are many negative comments about Professor Graham's class. However, after taking his class I disagree. He won't give you an easy A and makes you work for your grade but he has a really good handle on the material, explains clearly and thoroughly, and is more than willing to meet after class. I wish I could take him again for Calc 4.

Dr. Graham is one of the best teachers I've had. He explains things in a clear fashion, often explaining in a " how I would do it" fashion. Never shoots down students ideas or questions, but explores them. Lots of pop quizzes, but you are able to opt out of them if you want. He does not assign homework either. I highly recommend that you take him.

Graham is Graham. He is a very good teacher and extremely thorough if you show up every day, which is awesome. He assigns homework, but you don't have to do it (I recommend you do) and he's a very rough grader on the test. He wants you to know the subject, but I also am not sure if he really cares if you don't.

Graham is a really nice guy and you can tell he actually wants to be there. The class mainly consisted of quizzes, 4 big exams, and the Final. The quizzes, however, were more like in class assignments, because you can work together and even ask him for help. If you miss a quiz day, you receive a 0, but he dropped the 2 lowest quiz scores.

Compared to other math professors, Graham is pretty good. His lectures are pretty easy to follow, and he explains things better than most. He does not grade on a curve however, and will be pretty tough on grading. He does 4 exams, a final and 10 quizzes for credit. Quizzes can be done as a group. He also assigns homework, but it's optional.

His class was thorough and very easy to follow he explained everything perfectly and answered all questions when asked. He does have random quizzes Which threw me off at first and he won't announce test so check the syllabus in advance also on the Note of quizzes he allows you to partner quiz almost the entire quarter.

He teaches in a way that is easy to understand and will answer any question you have. He always has exams and quizzes graded by the next class day. He has an exam about every two weeks but he lets you know every concept you need to for the exam the day before so you can prepare. He never has anything in the exam that he didn't focus on.

He is a good teacher and an entertaining lecturer, but he gives you a list of problems and does not assign graded home work. the only things that count towards your grade are tests and quizzes. You have to really put in the effort and take it upon yourself to practice the material.

He gives a lot of tests, non mandatory homeworks and is a tough grader but he is a great teacher and is always willing to work with you

Great teacher that runs a no BS class. Grades are calculated entirely off of tests/quizzes, which he will prepare you well for. Homework is optional, allowing you the freedom to let yourself fail if you don't take the class seriously and practice, but also allows for more flexibility in your studies. Your grade will be a reflection of your effort

You will never fall asleep in Graham's lectures. He keeps them very interesting and rarely goes on tangents. The course work was difficult as expected, but whatever you do, do not get behind on homework. All in all a great professor who loves what he does, answering questions, and has a deep understanding of math.

Professor Graham provided immediate feedback on homework and exams. Very well organized! There were almost daily webassign homework assignments, 11 or 12 written assignments, 4 exams and a final. This is a lot of work, but getting a poor score on one exam won't tank your grade. Note: this class was taken online during COVID lockdown

Took it online. Was available, had everything ready on time and split it into digestible chunks. Took an online teaching course beforehand and it showed. Really tried hard to help us succeed in the pandemic. Hilarious dry humor.

I have taken about 6 classes with Professor Graham. While the material assigned is somewhat time consuming, the lectures are straightforward and Professor Graham is very good at responding to emails and providing help. I feel like he cares about his students and I'm sad that this is my last math class as I'd gladly take him again.

I don't understand the bad ratings. It's necessary to keep up with lectures and homework to do well, which isn't too much time. He is always willing to meet to go over tests/homework to help and has an awesome dry sense of humor. Doesn't try trick you on tests and they are very fairly graded. I highly recommend him as a math professor.

Good but tough professor. Our entire grade was based off of 4 exams, final, and 10 pop quizzes to encourage attendance. (there are 12 quizzes but the lowest 2 get dropped). If you can't make it to class, at least get notes from a friend. He does a good job teaching and explaining material, and he doesn't try to trick you on exams.

Graham is a great teacher, lectures are interesting and engaging, quizzes and tests are exactly what he teaches and are easy to expect what will be on them. The class is hard, because the material is hard, but he makes it easier

Follow the calendar. He warns you there are pop quizzes, but it's easy to predict when they are. If you stay up on the reading/homework and ask questions you will do fine in his class. Easy grader on the quizzes but a bit stricter on the exams. Very helpful in office hours, and answers questions thoroughly and patiently. I hope to take him again.

Great professor overall. Yeah, he has pop quizzes but you can work with classmates and use notes, so it's really more like an in-class assignment. Just show up to class, do your work, and you'll be fine. He's really funny and helpful when you have questions.

Helpful when you have questions and sneaks in a joke or two during a lecture. Really all you could want in a professor.

I would hear a lot of people hating on this particular class but if you show up and put the work in you will be 100% be fine. He gives quizzes but he walks around helping people and you get to use your notes and work with others. Quizzes also help you with the tests because the questions on the quizzes are literally on the test. Recommend.

You can tell he enjoys being a professor. I liked his lecture style. Only thing I have to say is If you don't show up for class you won't pass, he doesn't take attendance but there are random quizzes/group projects. Nothing on the quizzes is a surprise, nothing outside of what he has lectured on.
