he is a really good teacher who takes the time to make sure the student understands the concept and he has a great personality.

Great teacher. Tells goofy jokes that you just can't help but laugh at. He's a really nice guy as long as you follow the rules... which are not demanding at all (you can live without text messaging for an hour!). He keeps his class in line while maintaining a laid-back atmosphere.

Nice teacher willing answer questions

he is super nice and will help you if you are confused. He gives an extra credit question with every test and has a website with previous years tests to help you study for upcoming test.

He is a very good math teacher, straight to the point but in a very clear and helpful manner. Its also nice when he jokes around so you have a little time to relax. overall I support him

Overall a great professor! Always available and willing to help! At first comes off as really anal and annoying but I think he just wants everyone to do good. I stuggle with math and I got an A in this class.

I need to stress that I am horrible at math, however I can solve any problem with assistance. Mike, the instructor, is by far my best math instructor. He will try to see that everyone understands the concepts and opens his office for anyone who may need additional help. He keeps the class interested with real life examples that help u understand.

He was a great teacher. I absolutely loved him. He is really smart because if you need another example he will make up right off the top of his head and solve it for you. Really helpful and funny you should take him whenever possible.

Kind of friendly, kind of annoying. Easy to understand. On quizes, the questions are "what's the answer to question 1 on the homework?" so he makes you take out the homework and write the answer down. His way of making you do the homework.

Mike is kind of the best thing ever. His lectures are all meticulously planned, so your notes (if you take them) will be great. He also posts practice tests online that are very nearly identical to the actual tests. Class is always a riot. Occasionally, the jokes are hilarious. Great guy, obviously loves what he teaches. Highly recommended.

Great Teacher! Organized and keeps his class interersting and pushes students to learn the material!

the best math teacher i ever had. very clear, funny, and patient. helps every student understand the material. very understable and enjoyable

He's very good professor. He will help you understand the material if you do not understand it.You have to ATTEND his class if you don't want to miss anything..THANKS...very good professor..

Mike really is a great teacher. I didn't do all that well on my first exam and he encouraged me to use his office hours and helped me understand the work. Well organized and clear lectures. Really fun environment in class. More people would like math if there was more Mikes to teach them. Take it if you want to learn and have fun doing it!

Mike was not easy but he was really helpful and made me feel like i could learn the material I am not a big fan of math but he always had office time and one time i missed lecture i went to his office and he gave me a short overview of what i missed. I would recommend mike to anyone

He is really helpful and wants everyone to do their best. You do need to try however you can't expect him to do it all for you. He was one of the best professors I have had at Tri-c.

Best Math teacher i have ever had. he makes class very enjoyable and you will learn aot from this class. however youwill need to do thework which is not that much but if u do the work and attend class everyday you will get a good grade like i di and i hate math

He is a awesome teacher. Must do lots of homework but it is pretty easy and it makes it easier when you have tests. He makes class very enjoyable and I would diffinitely recommend him. I received a "A" in his class. I am not the best in math so if can do it you can too.

McCraith is great! His quizes are the homework. So show up and do your homework and the class is easy. He offers online web videos explaining math rules and concepts, he offers many office hours for help, and is available for email, and skype. I had his for 3 classes and wished he taught higher level math so I could continue with his classes.

The best teacher I have had.

he was descent at teaching the material but he gave way too much homework. majority of the class had trouble doing all the work.

Best teacher I have ever had. He makes sure every student understands the material and is ready for the tests. Great extra credit opportunities. Engaging and very funny too (in a corny way)! I LOVED THE CLASS and I am not a math major! Took him for two classes he is so fun.

Seriously THE BEST. You won't regret taking his class.

This teacher is just awesome! He loves what he does and is full of positive energy that makes you happy to be there! Don't miss class as you will miss a lot! But if you do he is always there to help you out. Wish I could take him for every math class!!!

Awesome math teacher and pleasant in general. Offers clear instruction and extra help during office hours. Quizzes are from homework. Distributes great practice tests before each exam. Explains how to use high tech calculators. All around good guy.

He is an outstanding teacher. He gives amazing lectures that are easy to follow. He has a website with videos of each thing he teaches. He offers help all the time. Homework and quizzes are online. Don't take the class unless you're going to do all the work. You should most definitely take his class. He loves what he does.

I took his trig course. I like his teaching style. He would explain things again if you don't understand it. Class consists of exams, quizzes, and homework. Quizzes are from the homework so if you do your homework you can pass them easily. He posts videos online to help and previous exams as well.

Very nice Professor!! I recommend!

Mike is a kick ass professor! I took his class in the summer of 2012 for college algebra and he changed my prospective on math. He moves very quick in the summer, but go to class and office hours and he will help you through. Overall as a transit KSU student i think he was the best professor i ever had. Thanks mike for the awesome job you do!

Doesn't grade the homework before the test!! Rather hard to study for because of that. Other than that, I love it. Funny, clear, inventive teacher.

As a math challenged student, Mike went above and beyond in helping me understand the material. If you are struggling with concepts, he is more than happy to help! The material is challenging and fast-paced, but if taking a higher level math, he's the professor for you. Funny and charismatic. Stop by his office and talk to him! He's always there.

The best math teacher ever! However, you MUST do all your work, watch his helpful videos if taking an accelerated semester. He is strict but entertaining. Best advice is to go to his office regularly to check all your homework with teacher's book. He is very helpful, just ask!

Great personality, but very finicky, checks calculators before a test for cheating, wants everyone to come to him for help instead of using the solution guide, will punish you if copy from it. I took his course on recommendation, but had to drop it, he moves to dam fast and even though he told me the trig honor class was not hard, it was. :(

His exams and quizzes are extremely hard. If you dont do well on your homework, you won't pass your quizzes.

Mike is fair. I'm fairly certain he can teach this material in his sleep. This course is set up in a way that students are given the tools they need to not only pass, but also learn the material. Be prepared to work. You must complete homework, and there are projects. Don't skip class. Expectations are clear. Mike is always available to help.

He really knows his stuff. He's willing to answer any questions you have, and go over it until you understand it. But only if you ask! If students don't ask questions, he will not stop teaching until the class is over. We've gone through whole chapters in one class. He's willing to even Skype with you if you need help. DON'T MISS ANY CLASSES

Awesome teacher but he will make you earn that A. Really funny and easy to talk to. Expect homework after each class. He's really helpful with problems but you have to ask. He doesn't go over homework unless you ask. Otherwise he's easy to follow and has pretty clear expectations. If he teaches any other math classes I need I'll take them with him.

He's is very smart and knows his stuff. He was a very tough grader but you have to work for it. Alot of homework but he gives plenty of time to finish. Homework is very important towards your grade and quizzes. I would take him again

I actually took 1510 and 1521 online. He is one of the most helpful and nicest persons I have ever seen. He will help you in everything. I found his grading really difficult in the beginning but in the end I figured out his way of teaching. Make sure you read his instructions properly. I hope to take my next Maths class in the future for sure.

I personally think that this is the greatest math teacher I have ever had. He explains the theory behind every kind of problem before going over an example problem, making it so much easier to learn the problems. He is happy to answer any question you have for him. I wish all my teachers were just like him.

Great guy; great at explaining material. He does not except late hw. Emergencies are not excuses, and a min late is still late. However, he is open to sending hw via email, text, or turning it in early so you don't miss deadlines. Also, he is open to working one on one. His syllabus is clear and he's a lot of fun. Do your work and you'll be fine.

Absolutely amazing teacher. On,y reason I got a B instead of A was I myself wasn't truly focused. Great, entertaining lectures. You will pay attention just off the strength of his energy.

This one had me torn. I took a blended learning class which I absolutely did enjoy. I liked that his lectures were all online on his award winning website. You'll do very well in his class if you show up and watch the videos before. To be honest he doesn't assign too much outside of class homework. My table always had no homework to do at home.

Can be a bit vague at times and his sense of humor, though usually entertaining, can become infuriating. But hes great about responding to emails if you need help at home and explains things pretty well. I was surprised that Ive actually been using this math in my everyday life. Not the waist of time I was expecting. (I hate math)

I am typically awful at math and have been trying to find a teacher at CCC that I could truly learn from. Mike is just that! His teaching method is different, you watch videos at home and then do homework in class but he makes critical thinking fun. If you ask questions he is more than willing to walk you through the material. Definitely recommend!

I took this class over the summer. I hated it at first, especially because of all the videos. But it grew on me and I ended up liking the class.

Trig is tough. Professor McCraith is a tough grader so don't expect easy points. But if you work at it and use the practice tests to study by (beginning with the first section of the chapter... not waiting til the day before the test) you'll do fine. Be sure to understand why things work the way they do, so that you'll remember the concepts.

I took the online version of this course, so there was a lot of videos and online work to do. He really doesn't use the formulas in the book, which I feel like I wasted money purchasing it and I really only needed the online access code. The first chapter is very difficult but if you study his previous chapter tests, you will do fine.

McCraith is a great teacher if you're self disciplined. I took the online class so you need to watch his videos and take notes every week. You watch videos, take notes, do homework, take quizzes, and tests. He is very helpful when you're stuck and is very responsive to emails. The course says you need the text book but just use his videos.

Prof. Mike is amn AWESOME math teacher. Math 1470 contains somewhat difficult material (matrices, some stats ect.) but he makes learning fun! He's very funny! He gives LOTS of extra credit opportunities and makes himself available via skype as well. All homework & quizzes are on-line, a project per chapter, and you turn in your pp slides for ec.

He is the best!!!!!!!!!

I found Mike to be fun and a good teacher. You have to do the work but he makes it possible to understand the concepts well. He has videos if you miss a class which can be helpful but they are not needed if you attend. He also has good office hours and we spent the first 10-20 minutes of each class going over HW problems we had questions about.

I took him for 1240 & 1470. His videos are very helpful, go along with the PP fill-in notes. For 1470 you cover 5 chapters, 1-3 HW assignments through Pearson each week. A total of 5 quizes, one over each chapter and questions come straight off the HW assignments. Print HW! Midterm and final exam through zoom since Covid. Best Math Teacher!

He gives 2-3 homeworks a week plus a quiz after every chapter. You need to put in a lot of work in order to pass. His videos were very helpful to understand the topics. It's a hard class but if you're willing to learn and do the work, then you'll be fine.

Mr. McCraith is a fun and responsive professor that makes you work for your answers because HE WANTS YOU TO LEARN. His tests are challenging and make you apply what you have learned to the outside world.

He has some really dry humor, which I found was funny most of the time cause it was just so bad. Goes over the basics. My class is this semester class in 8 weeks so its hard in general and expects you to work on it every day, which is easy and fair if you keep yourself disciplined. Were adults now, its never going to be straight forward like hs.

3-9 hws a week depending on what sec. not a bad professor, I honestly love his jokes. His responding wasnt the fastest, but was very helpful. I got to draw a turkey from the practice tests. DO THEM. They r helpful and the exams are VERY similar. Take ur time, use the textbook, watch the example problems, do the practice tests, and youll be fine.

Look, I get it. You thought that this was gonna be an easy class which you could just do half the work and get an A. No. Mike is an excellent teacher who knows the material by heart, he has the entire semester planned out. However he requires that YOU SHOW THE WORK. I got so many points deducted from my tests because of that. DO THE HW!

do what's expected of you and you will pass this course.

This class is hard but he makes it straightforward if you are willing to put in the work. Do your homework on schedule . Ask lots of questions - he always takes time to make sure you understand. Study from the practice tests because the real tests are almost identical. Funny, caring, smart and wants his students to succeed.

Math1240 with this prof is challenging, but he wants you to learn. The textbook and videos aren't always enough - use Unstuck ai and ask lots of questions. Put in the work and you'll succeed.
