Very unfair with grading. He openly states he will never give students with, for example, 79.5% grades the higher grade (a B in this case). In addition, his lectures are vague and unhelpful, the sample exams are a WASTE, and he isn't very nice.
Downright dreadful. Goes way too fast, and his "sample exams" are no help whatsoever.
hes ok...he cares alot about the students, but he moves kinda fast. willing to give student some slack if he knows youre trying
Brilliant teacher. Fast paced class, best to take MWF. Ask questions, he will answer. He goes above & beyond what most profs would do for their students. Do your HW and you will pass. Levy is awesome. I hope to have Calc w/ him!
Excellent teacher, but HARD.
Forget about the bad reviews. He was professor of the year in 1994 and continues striving for excellence in the classroom.He even gave the class his home number, so we could contact him out of class if we had any questions. Very organized and to the point
the best
Mr. Levy was very helpful and does not mind explaining something from the beginning. He also assigns homework problems that you can turn in for extra credit.
Very specific and precise, good teacher
this guy only gives you 14 question on every test. If you miss one question, your down a letter grade. So do his homework..
Best math teacher I've ever had! Very fair with gradings, First +A in math in my life.
This guy really knows how to teach Math. I have been struggling with math my whole life and he is the only professor who's concepts make any sense. Plus he enjoy's teaching it. He will do anything to help you out. What professor do you know gives out they're home # so if you need help they're there.
I haven't had Mr. Levy since the 90's but he was the best math teacher I have ever had. I planned my math schedule around his classes so I could take him for everything possible. I am now a Math teacher because he made it look so easy. Thanks. Mitchell Levy. You rock!
Very Good at explaining, but if you miss one question on his exams you are doomed to a lower grade, had all A's except for one B in all his test and becuase I missed one question on the final ended up with a B. That sucked !!
Very detailed, very helpful. Can call him at home 24/7 for help. Does not teach you things you don't need. Certificate for h.w. completion. Easy test. A bit of obsessed about organization, otherwise BEST stat teacher ever in all of BCC.
THIS DUDE IS AWESOME, HE WONT FAIL YOU AND HE WILL HELP YOU PASS, HE LOOKS FUNNY BUT HEY THIS GUY KNOW HIS STUFF PAY ATTENTION AND YOU WILL PASS
This man is a great teacher. He will do ANYTHING to help you out. What other teacher gives you his phone number? He can be extremely repetitive at times and a little boring, but his tests are straightforward and he even gives sample exams to show what's on the next test. GREAT TEACHER for anyone!
He is willing to help sooo much. he lets you call him anytime, or you can see him in his office, or go to whichever class he's teaching. if the material is new to you, you should do a little homework so you know it, but its not required. the class was pretty easy to me.
Good professor, willing to help. Sometimes a little boring but he wants his students to learn. He gace us his home oh number...That was just great!
He wont let you fail. If you do, you didn't do your homework. He will make you kick the habit of procrastinating. Number 1 recomended at BCC.
He gives you his home phone number to reach him if you have a question but he is never home to help you when you needed. If you don't do well on the exams you will not earn an A and if you fail to finish your homework just once you will not earn an A either.
GOOD STAT teacher!
Very good professor, and very clear. As long as your do the homework then you should get at least an A or a B in his class. Very precise and direct. Does not teach you anything you do not need to know. One of the best teachers at B.C.C. but I highly recommend you do all the homework!!!
Excellent educator. Will not give anything for free but as long as you do your homework and pay a attention in his classes you will be fine. He gives excellent reviews and also goes way out of his way to help everyone succeed. Highly recommend this professor.
EXCELLENT TEACHER. VERY FAIR AT GRADING. ASSIGNS A LOT HOMEWORK, BUT IF YOU DO IT, YOU'LL HAVE 90% OF THE TEST SAFE. TAKE IT.
You can't hate math when it comes to Mr. Levy. I only had him for stat but I am sure he does a great job at the other math levels. If I knew him earlier I would have taken him for all my math classes. I highly recommend this professor
This professor was perhaps one of the most boring teachers I've come across. Yes, he does know his stuff, but the way he presents the info isn't that good. I had to read the book and "teach" myself, because his explanations didn't make sense. Fair grader though. Is very available and ready to help.
He might not look that interesting, but he is the kindess, nicest, and the best math teacher ever.
The most boring teacher that I have ever had in my entire school career. Goes off topic and makes people look like an idiot when you ask any questions. Goes over 3 problems and expects you to know the material. Always got B's in math and now have a D in his. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU VALUE YOUR GPA!
Do not take him after reading the reviews i thought i would be able to get a good grade in his class, i was rong, i did all the h.w. and paid attention, but the dude is so boaring. I faild the first 2 test and just barely got a C IN THE CLASS @DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING HIS CLASSES PLEASE *PLEASE PICK SOMEONE ELSE*@
He is an excellent teacher and is very thorough in his explanations. The class is really NOT hard. Just listen, do the homework, and study . . . that is how you get an A in any class. He is def. the best math teacher I have ever had.
The tests have the easiest problems from the sections on them - he drops the lowest grade - he teaches exaactly what you need to know - and help is readily available. How could you not get an A people?
He is brilliant, but he can't explain things.He shows how to do something once,and then expects you to understand everything.He is based solely on tests,so your homework has no grade, and the book he uses is the worst EVER!He spends too much time telling you how great a teacher he is and not enought time making sure you know how to do the stuff.
One of the best math tecaher I ever had.
Ok, where to start. He is very boring so bring coffee with you to his class. He counts attendence everyday. He is a good teacher, he gives you a review sheet before every test and drops the lowest test grade. He is overall a good teacher. I would recommend him for a basic class that you need to pass without a problem.
i was a straight a math student before i took him he was the hardest c i ever got ... i would not recommend him ...
Grades based only on tests, but he is a very good math teacher. He will explain everything to you and offers a lot of help if you need it.
Very hard professor. He explains but he doesn't make sure you understand. Never have time in class for any questions. He always says he is the only BCC professor to gives out his phone number to call him if you need help with the class. You can NEVER reach him, so the phone has no purpose at all. If you want to keep your GPA safe don't take him!!!
Sorry to say this, but it seems as if the last 3 comments were left by students who werent dedicated to this class. He is not easy, but very fair, he tells you everything you need to pass the class. Highly recommeneded!!!! if you do your homework and reviews theres no way you cant get an easy A or B
He is a horrible teacher when you are very weak at math! I paid attention like crazy, have a book only for my math work and took extensive notes. Failed miserably. Im usually very good in math. He spends time on talking about him and how great he is, the books he's proofed and also explains why he didnt explain it the "other way" Very confussing!!!
The studets that are giving good reviews for this teacher is because they are very good in math regardless the professor. I had passed all Math classes with an A before, did my homework and was dedicated and I got a C on this class. If you want to pass this class with a good grade don't take Levy, same with Statistics,take a better Professor.
Hardest teacher ever. I just don't recomend him!! That's all!!
I got the highest grade in my last math class ... He was the hardest C I have ever gotten ...I only got it b/c of the hurricane he had to drop a test!!! I would not recommend him ... EVER!!!!
To be honest with you, I was thrown when I first read the comments on here. I even dropped his class for a day! But then I decided to stick with it just to see, and honestly, the guy is a really great teacher. He is kinda quirky and annal but he is really quite a good teacher. He surprised me with his helpfulness and suggetions, I recommend him
He is horrible! Very confusing.. Teaches one way and then teaches it another way as he explains why he didnt teach it that way to bega with. I am not the strongest in math, I dedicate my time to doing homework and studying but this guy sucks! He gives a review that does not match the test. No Partial credit, 14 question so an easy fail <Sara>
Nice guy. But I dropped his class b/c I value my GPA. His tests r 16 q's, no multiple choice. 1st test I got a C b/c he took off points b/c I didn't box in my answer how he wanted. & when I told him I got a C on the 1st test & I was dropping it, he said that its great 2 get C's on his tests. I want a teacher that thinks A's r achievements not C's.
Explains material well, but covers too much at one time. Only does 1 example and expects you to know it. Encourages questions but finds most of them funny and makes you feel uncomfortable. When asked "why".. his response is "just because". He is way too anal and cocky! He says hes "great". Does not let you use calculators!! I dropped his class.
Mr. Levy its a great professor. You have to study ofcourse but it pays off in the end. He gives reviews before anytest, he drops the lowest grade, which hardly any math teacher does. He is also available for questions whenever you need him! You can even call him at home. I got 2 A's on math tests and that has never happened in my life. Take him!
Absolutely Horrible Little Man! A cocky know-it-all! Asked a questions and received a sarcastic insult. Test were hard. He would not explain after one time. Seemed to prefer teaching the boys than girls. Just a horrible expierence in his class. Took the class over with another teacher and received a A.
He is a GREAT teacher. He is not easy, but very fair, he tells you everything you need to pass the class. I'm sorry to say, this but if more teacher in America will be like him, the children would be smarter.
He is so funny, and he has a weird obsession with chalk! He rubs it on his hand haha!
He is a terrible teacher, after test.He does not explain math well. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
Amazing teacher, he does repeat himself alot and i thought it was kind of funny, ive taken him for 3 math courses already and i got As in all of them... he gives you a review before each test and the exams are exactly like the reviews, i got perfect scores in most of them. he is really helpful, you can even call him at home, take him.
He is a very good teacher. His class is easy if you do the homework. Always willing to help. he will not give you a W or an I after the day your supposed to do it. Do the homework and he will bump your grade up if you need it.
I'm sorry, but even though I did not pass his class, Mr. Levy is an amazing instructor! I did not pass because I did not put in the best effort I could. He offers help at all times, the material is quite simple to understand and the HW NEEDS to be done! Simple as that. I recommend him HIGHLY! He knows the material.
I got an A in the class. A lot of stuff he goes over in class are on the test. But you have to make sure you redo and redo the handout he gives before the test. He is a bit tough sometime but for a math teacher he isnt bad. No ****ulative test. Very straight to the point, doesn't like to waste time. He enjoys teaching from the feel i got
Wow! This guy is a drill sergeant! Attention to detail is critical or you die, so to speak. He brags about his 20 years of teaching(dictating)! He checks your homework like he's your dad. Dont take in the summer..ugh! No curve or open book. Take Professor Loschak instead. He gives curve and allows use of notes. I got an A with him! F with Levy:)
IM SORRY I TOOK THIS CLASS... VERY HARD. TOO MANY QUIZZES AND TEST...LOT OF MATERIAL TO REMEMBER
LOT OF MATERIAL TO REMEBER... VERY HARD
HE'S A PRETTY GOOD TEACHER. IF U DO ALL OF UR HW YOU SHOULD DO FINE. HE'S PRETTY GOOFY. 4 TEST AND AN EXIT EXAM, CHECKS HW OCCASIONALLY
SORRY I EVER TOOK THIS CLASS!! DONT TAKE HIM IF U PLAN TO PASS!!... WORK IS CONFUSING. DOESNT TEACH DETAILED ENOUGH!!... DONT TAKE HIM!
Hes ok gives a lot of homework but overall is good. He also has no problem helping you.
He is hard on the grading and expects you to not make mistakes, but the man does give you test review that are very helpful. Homework is not mandatory, but helps a lot. Explains very well. Very good professor.
Great teacher!!! A little goofy and repetitive with his jokes but he tries extremely hard for you to understand. Gives you lots of hw to practice, sample tests and sample final that resemble the real thing. Online tutorials, available for office hours and calling him at home for help. There is no reason you should fail. You have to do your part.
he is the MAN!! the great proffesor i ever had!! it is true that his tests are very hard bt he explain well n' u won't get bore from his jokes.....sometimes its funny. his test review n' notes are extremly helpful to study for the exam. also homework is not mandantory bt one should do it because it really helps.
i think he is a great math teacher, he explains things really clear, willing to answer your questions. overall the class was easy. just do your homework and the handout for tests then you will pass this class. i will highly recomment this teacher.
terrible. didnt answer question. had a bit of tyranny about everything had to be done his way, overall i would never recomend... professor matthews is way better.
belive it or not, this teacher is one of the best @ bcc. he does do more sample problems in class, easy to understand. know your symbols. i personally thought i was going to fail his class, but passed with a C. do your homework it helps and be careful on the test, he is anal about he grades. overall A+ teacher.
Great teacher. He makes everything easy to understand and his tests look exactly like what he does in class. Gives worksheets and review sheets before tests. Tells you exactly what you need to know and how to do it. Gives you helpful hints prior to tests
TAKE HIM! I hate math, and was dreading this class , until I realized what a remarkable teacher he is! I GOT MY FIRST A IN A MATH COURSE! Most important piece of advice: do your homework. He does check to see if you've done it. He is consistent and pretty easy to understand. After that, MATH LAB, MATH LAB, MATH LAB to supplement his lectures!
I am a Math challenged student. I regret taking him for STA 2023. Statistics is a very hard and confusing class, and trust me Professor Michel does not make it any easier. He flies through the material (like he is taking to himself!!!), he is not clear on his explanations. I have to teach myself after class.
Teaches way to fast, do not explain the material. Statics is a difficult subject as it is and this professor does not use a language the students can understand.
god sent him down from heaven to teach algebra.
he a great teacher .. class was hard for me but if i didnt have him as a teatcher it might of been really hard.. he did teach well. and broke things down and answered questions when needed.
He is a great teacher, very helpful and always ready to answer you any question you have. Available to the students in his office hours, and repeats the lesson more than one time if you do not understand it!!!
hes awesome! i'm good at math but it had been years since i had taken a math class so i needed a refreshment. and he deff did a good job at it! he gives about 4 or 5 tests and drops the lowest grade. MUST go to Lab or if you get a 90 or higher on his tests he gives you 4 free lab hours. hes deff worth taking if you have trouble in math.
THIS MAN IS JESUS HIMSELF INCARNATED IN A NERDS BODY. I LOVE THIS DUDE, VERY HELPFUL AND WANTS U TO PASS. GIVES TO MANY OPPURTUNITIES FOR EXTRA HELP. H/W ISNT MANDATORY BUT IT HELPS A LOT TO DO IT. IF U PAY ATTENTION ITS AN EASY A.
I cant tell you how much this man rocks at what he does. I had him for elementary and intermediate algebra and I dont know how im going to survive without him in college algebra!!! MR.LEVY IS AMAZING!!!!!!
THE BEST MATH PROF EVER! If you have to take statistics or college algebra he is the prof to take - just do your homework and make an effort and he will help you. I am about to start my masters degree but I can back to say that of all the math prof I've had, Levy is the best - the only one who was ever able to explain so I could understand.
best math teacher!! he has been teaching this stuff for so long that he knows exactly what mistakes students make so he warns you of them all many times. very clear about what will be on the test and how to study for them all. he is very good at what he does
One of the BEST Math teachers!!! He makes Statistics easy. He reviews for tests, gives very good notes, and gives handouts. Perfect teacher. I wished he taught Bus. Calculus. All Math teachers should be like this professor. His office is open if you need additional tutoring.
I hate math but he makes it easy I was unable to complete this class with a passing grade due to unforeseen circumstances . He is a great professor and willing to give you all the resources you need to pass.
The class is not easy but do your homework and review tests. You will get an "A" Mr. Levy is an excellent teacher. I took his class for Statistic and College Algebra. Highly recommend!
I took this class and the teacher is very hardd, his tests are extremely hard and he is very less helpful
Best math teacher i have ever had...i suck at match and i had him for both elementary and intermediate and he was really good...his grades are fair..helps you out a lot...one of the best teachers..
Easily the best math professor that I have ever had. He goes out of his way to make sure you understand the content 100%.
Prof Levy is the best math teacher I've ever had. He takes time to give multiple examples of every topic to make sure the students know the material. He'll stay after class and answer questions. He's not very easy, but if you STUDY and ask questions you'll be fine. The only downside is he talks a lot. But that's a small price for good teaching.
Great teacher pay attention and do your work and you will be fine he loves to teach and knows what he is doin
amzing teacher. Explains very well and give a lot of examples on each section. You have to go to the lab but he doesn't care what you do in there as long as you get 15 hrs. He drops the lowest math grade and for every A you get on the test he adds 4 hrs to the lab. I am horrible at math and he made it easy. you must go to class though. TAKE HIM !
str8 up!, i hate math . i still hate math to this day but, this teacher made me like it a little more! hes mad cool n teaches you how to do it . hell teach you it until you understand it n offers also, to attend his other class after for more guidence. He drops the lowest test grade too! :) for hating and not being soo good at math i got a B!!!
Wonderful teacher. First test was pretty hard, but he drops your lowest grade. Final was okay...I got a 79 wished I got a B, but overall I got a B+ in the class. He helps you with any and everything and even gives you sample exams to what will be on his tests. Homework doesn't count but its best you do it. I wish he was teaching Intermediate :(
AMAZING TEACHER!im horrible at math & he made it so easy.He gives a lot of examples for each section, drops lowest grade.You need 15 hrs of lab but doesnt care what you do in there.gives sample tests that are REALLY CLOSE to the actual test.Checks HW but doesnt count against u if u dont do it.He'll add it as Extra Credit at the end of the semester
Great professor! He teaches Statistics so clearly! He doesn't mind helping students out and he gives out reviews for tests. He is amazing. I recommend him to all!
AMAZING Teacher. Would not have passed Statistics with a different professor. He has a gift of clarity and an amazing knowledge of Statistics. This class is fail proof granted you do your homework and the practice problems provided.
Excellent professor. If u do your homework u aré more than fine
He is horrible! What nonsense everyone is speaking of. He is ridiculous with his rules on tests, its impossible to pass. If you have nothing but this class then maybe, other than that I reccomend someone else who will actually help you. DO NOT TAKE!
bsolutely Horrible Little Man! A cocky know-it-all! Asked a questions and received a sarcastic insult. Test were hard. He would not explain after one time. Seemed to prefer teaching the boys than girls. Just a horrible expierence in his class.I WARN you if your not that good a math dont take him!!

Worst professor ever, he made the class way more difficult than it need to be. I don't recommend anyone take this professor
Levy is the worst professor ever! DO NOT TAKE HIM if you want to pass statistics! the way he grades exams is terrible and he expects to see ALL of your work to get full credit. (exams are NOT multiple choice either) must do ALL of your homeworks and can only miss 2 classes. He's terrible! He's condescending too! HORRIBLE!
Prof. Levy is one of the best teacher's I have taken in any math course. He is very helpful but does like his students to try and apply themselves instead of just looking to be handed the answers. If you come to class and take notes and study (doing your HW and using the free extra websites he gives) you should be on your way to an "A".Recommend
I am horrible in math but Professor Levy made it extremely easy to learn. He makes sure you understand the material and will give you help if you need after class. He's sarcastic and nerdy but it actually is kind of funny. I really loved him! I would take him again for another math course.
He gives all the tools you need(ie formulas for tests)to get thru the course, will work with you to help you undrstnd. There is more word comprehension than math in stats. Lik anyother math MUST do hw to grasp concepts and pass.If you are lazy don't even bother takin any stats at all! Humorous guy. luvs 2 impruv4 futur stdnts grdA teacher over all!
I got a B. This professor lectures are significantly clear. I will reject any claim that Mr. Levi is a bad professor. He is extremly organize and helpful. Moreover, there is no cumulative final which is always a good thing when the subject is related to math Strongly recomend him if you want to learn statistics.
Excellt.V smart professor.Do your HW.Take notes in class, ask wever u do not undertd.Gives you tips how to pass exams w/ him and other courses.Obssessive w/attendance, order in classSarcastic sense of humor.Study and do HWfrom day 1otherwise you will be behindLearn how to use the calculator befor the tests.Learn how to read formula chart take him
Awesome teacher :)) after a certain point in school I lost my intrest in math entirely but this guy is really something. He does an amazing job at explaining how to do problems clearly and provides other sources of help outside the classroom (sent by email so make sure you check your student email!!)
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. Manages to explain with such clarity such a hard subject to explain like statistics. He also cracks me up because he will often try and make jokes that clearly aren't funny, but that's why hes funny. Great professor, he reminds me of Howard Walowitz from "The Big Bang Theory"
This is not an easy class. Take all your math before you do Stats. Other than that he is a great teacher. I believe this is his only job since he graduated college. He wants you to get an A and gives you the tools to do it. Do all of the HW, take notes, study, LAB etc...
This guy is awesome. He's kind of weird sometimes but hey the guy does like math after-all! He offers plenty of outside resources for extra help and explains all the material quite well. He gives out practice tests as well. I haven't enjoyed math this much since middle school. Take him, you'll learn a lot :))
He's a VERY helpful teacher, gives ALOT of example for you to understand the lesson.. Take him he's great!
This guy is awesome. I've always hated anything to do with math but because of this teacher this is the only class im enjoying this summer. Attend EVERY class, do your homework, and do EVERY test reviews and you'll be fine. He's extremely helpful and will remind you about it everyday. Take it serious and you'll get an A, without a doubt.
This teacher makes Stat's easier to understand. Stat's is hard -- but if you do his test reviews and listen in class an A is definatly possible. Gives extra credit for HW completed. He clear tells you what to expect on his tests.
I am so glad i took professor levy for stats! He explains everything clearly, and you know exactly what to expect, no surprises. I wish I could take him for every subject. The class is challenging- but if you do the work- its not hard to get an A! Good teachers are hard to come by!!
He's a good teacher, but he sometimes tell's you things that you don't need to know. Hw is optional, but highly suggest,It really helps with the test. HIs final is not cumulative. And if you do hw and go to lab, he says he looks at that it you are border line grade. I would only recommend if you are focused. I did everything and i still got a D.
One of the best professors! I got a B but he really knows how to teach and he gives you a lot of help TAKE HIM!
He was ok, he was somewhat difficult but gave alot of extra helping tools although he always repeated the same information but it didnt bother me.
his grades are based :strictly on tests" nothing else. If you don't get at least a B on your test, you will fail the class. He has a thousand rules and sets you up for failure from day one. I regret taking his class. I got a C and I could have gotten an A with anyone else. A lot of students fail his class.
He was okay. Not great, though... I think the lack of help and the load of unnecessary tests really did it in for me.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!
The deal with this teacher is that he's very STRAIGHT FORWARD. In the beginning he comes off a bit weird, but he's a great teacher so stick with him. If you SERIOUSLY do all of his hw and study for the exams you'll do very well. This is an honest review where I had no problems with him and his work. Give him a try :)
professor levy is not the teacher I would choose to take for math. He tells you to always come to his office and get help and do HW for boarder line grades, but its not true. I put in all my time in this class, all my effort, got extra help and i had a boarder line grade and he still didnt pass me. very not understanding teacher. please dont take
He was very good. I took him for the summer course and he didn't give us a cumulative final. The handouts he gave were clear, and the homework wasn't too bad. Reviewing the material before the tests, I found the class quite easy.
Kind of cool guy, explain everything very clear and is really "fair", too much homework tho, if you are going to take his class more than 2 times a week you are not going to have enough time to do all the homework
Excellent professor, very clear and to the point. You must do Homework to pass, but you will know what you need to get to the next level....
Best Math teacher in the whole world. So humble with a great personality. He answers every question no matter how many times you ask. He gives extra helpful tatics if you dont get the work as fast as others. Do whatever he says. He knows his stuff.
I loved Professor Levy. He's one of the best teachers I have had. Homework is not mandatory or graded but he does check if you do it..I recommend that you do the homework because he will give you extra points if you are at a borderline grade. He gives extra credit on tests. Even if you arent good in math..TAKE HIM!
Excellent professor, especially for those not good in math! He goes VERY slowly through material, making it easy to understand. The hw is optional, but it definitely prepares you for exams. He shows a lot of concern for his student's grades. He's been teaching for a while and knows what he's doing. If you're a hard-working student, it's an easy A.
Prof Levy is a genuinely nice man.He wants all of his students to pass,& makes it possible and makes all the resources accessible. I was going to give up and drop b/c i wasnt doing that well.But with his encouragement I listened and passed. DO THE HW,& make use of his office hours.He cares and he will help.If you can afford a graphing calc GET IT!
If you are not good in math, DO NOT TAKE LEVY FOR A 6 WEEK SUMMER COURSE. Doing homework and the math lab will be your savior. It's NOT an easy A.
Worst professor ever, sarcastic, annoying, doesn't help at all! DO NOT TAKE THIS LITTLE GUY!
great teacher. very patience and goes over homework problems or any questions you have about any problem. he is always looking for ways to help students. he really cares about every student. for those that say bad things about him is becasue they want an easy A. theres no such thing as an easy A in college. great great teacher go for it!
To put it simply, put effort into this class and you will pass. If that's not enough, he provides many, many opportunities in order to help you out. He takes his time through lessons as well, and you're able to stop him at any given time for questions. Homework is not mandantory and is optional, but he'll know. Experienced and good teacher overall.
Best math teacher I've ever had. He's so good at teaching and I recommend him to anyone who isn't good at math. He provides so many resources if help is needed. Homework is optional but I strongly recommend doing it because he takes questions from the homework and puts them on the test and it's more practice.
He has helpful resources when it comes to taking tests, but if you ask for help in class he's very sarcastic and always mentions going to the lab or his office hours. Or if you have a different method of solving problems he will take point's off tests for not showing work. If your not the best in math don't take him.
Hard subject to begin with. It can be an easy A, but you can not expect to pass the class if you do not take the time out to study. He gives test reviews that are almost exactly like the test. He does not physically give extra credit but if you are attending class, doing the homework, and going to the math lab he will take that into consideration.

Good professor very clear but has rules and you must work very hard and do all the homework!
OUTSTANDING PROFESSOR
All I have to say is WOW!
This class is okay, the only thing that truly bothers me is the teacher himself. He's very annoying, a lot of little idiosyncrasies that I find extremely annoying. He repeats the same thing and marks up your tests with notes- however he explains things thoroughly and gives sample exams and plenty of practice and he doesn't let you forget it!
The only teacher that could make you feel like crap for getting an 89% on an exam that virtually everyone else failed. You think you did good then you're met with a paper full of scratches, circles and notes to leave you sunk.
best professor ever!!
One of the worst mistakes of my life was taking this professor's class. This was supposed to be my last semester at BC but now I have to send another semester for ONE class. There are only 4 grades for this class and they are all tests. They are not multiple choice and you must show all work. I do not recommend this class at all. (Summer/6 weeks)
(6 week summer class) I took this class expecting to fail but did very well. He's a good professor and very helpful. He doesn't want you to fail. Do the homework, ask questions and show initiative to pass. He will work with you. The only grades are tests, but he makes it clear what you have to study (study hard) and gives you practice problems.
RUN! Don't ruin your GPA! I took this professor for summer 14' sess-2 and it was one of the worst mistakes of my academic career! He is rude old stickler! In order to do well in this course you have to be him! It's his way or no way! Must show all work and if you get the correct answer a different way your wrong! Good Luck!
Let's get this straight. Taking Levy will not guarantee you an A. Only you can do that. He provides so many outlets for success, but very few people take them. I was about to fail his class due to my lack of trying, but he gave me so many chances for redemption and I made it out with a C. I could've gotten an A if i paid attention at first. TRY!!!!
this class is not an easy a. if you want to get an a you have to STUDY! but hes is very helpful and he also tries his hardest to make sure everyone understands the lessons. he also give study guides that are extremely helpful. if you do the study guides and study them then theres no way you cant pass. if you want to learn and pass, TAKE THIS CLASS!
Stickler about certain things, but makes them very clear at the beginning of the semester. Does his best to explain the course front to back. If I had to say anything bad it's that he's very, very obnoxious, like the know it all sci-fi nerds from high school. Other than that, take EXTENSIVE notes and keep all handouts, and you'll be fine.
I've taken Mr Levy for 3 different math courses. He is by far the most helpful and clear math teacher I've ever had. Mr Levy has been doing this for 26 years, therefore he has his courses down to a science. If you follow his strategies for success, an A will not be hard to come by. He embraces questions and strives to make sure everyone understands
Optional homework so if u need t to help u pass don't take this class. Condescending and unhelpful. makes u ask for permission to use a technique other than his and still doesn't let u. Doesn't let u use programable calculators everything is by hand. no extra credit and if anything on ur calculator he will fail u even if u didnt know it was there
this class was so boring i was falling asleep everytime i went in. actually failed someone i know on a test for not asking for premission to use a formula that wasn't his even though she got everything right. you only get four tests for a grade and thats it homework doesn't count at all its just to show your participating. hides markers in walls
I went into Stats worrying that I wasn't going to do well. Professor Levy is on his syllabus to a tee and knows what he is doing. Homework is not mandatory but you need to do it to pass and he gives you that decision. Only 4 tests. I have gotten A's on the first 3 on them by doing his homework and coming to class and taking notes. Great teacherguy
He's very picky on tests if you don't have it in the format he wants he takes points off. Doesn't grade homework and your grade depends on only 4 test. He doesn't give extra credit and doesn't offer any extra help. DO NOT TAKE HIM
He takes off more points on correct answers then he gives partial credit for wrong answers. Half the people failed this class. Hes not a bad teacher, just really strict on his grading style
I took his Algebra class twice, failed at first time, Aced it the second time. Understand nothing in life is easy when you want to do it well, not spending time study and review, you will fail the class. Don't blame the professor for being to tough, blame yourself for didn't work hard enough, math is all about accuracy, nothing more, nothing less.
He's awkward but a good teacher. His class wasn't hard even though a lot of people did not pass but i believe that is because of their laziness. Since homework is not graded, many people don't do the homework. If they did, they would've understood the material better and pass the class. If you're a hard worker, take him and you will pass.
DO NOT TAKE HIM. Does not grade the homework, which he should since it could possibly save your grade. Only give out 4 tests and is extremely picky with the way you write the answers. Not willing to help you out in absolutely anything. Worst teacher ever!!
I got an A from Professor Levy's STA 6 weeks summer class. I want to say thank you, Professor Levy, for everything you did, and i hope you have a long happy life, so one day when I use the knowledge you taught me and become successful, I can come back and thank you again.
He is a great Math professor. His lectures are easy to understand. if you don't get it, he'll explain it to you. He even takes time to explain it to you during office hours. If you failed any of your tests, your homework is your only savior. He doesn't give extra credit. Do all your homework, then you'll be ok. The tests aren't too hard.
Great Professor! Class was very easy as long as you pay attention and the homework is very helpful I got above 100% on every test with the extra credit and passed with an A. He talks a lot but it makes the class go by fast. Very easy to understand, would recommend and take his course again!
Absolutely fantastic professor. Gives extra credit on exams. He always gets students who don't seem to want to work hard, and he warns them that he is one of the best professors that they can get, and when they fail, they retake his class because he really is one of the best. The only way that you won't do well in this class is if you don't try.
I took this class with an accounting class for 6 weeks. I didn't pass due to not studying and having enough time to do so. Statistics is hard to learn, but he is a great professor. I would recommend him, and i will take his class again to get a better grade.
You will only pass this class if you are good at math. Runs through the sections, doesn't like to take time to remind you how to input something into your calculator even though you learned the section the last class. (too bad, ask your neighbor it'll "waste" class time) tests are not multiple choice & he's super picky with how you answer.
He is an OK teacher. He's a bit rude. Don't worry about being late to class because he is always late. He's strict with rounding and attendance. He takes off so many points for the littlest things. He teaches fine but i would recommend someone better. But then again its stats
Just pay attention and do your homework. You will pass. He's very clear, very sweaty, and will always answer your questions.
Prof. Levy is one of a kind. I've never liked math but he makes it so simple. If u do the sample exam you will do great on every test and u might not have to take the final to get an A in the course. For his Algebra course he gives a sample exam and step by step vids that help when ur stuck, in stats he provides everything u need to succeed.
Tests are not multiple choice and he is SUPER picky about the answers. If you don't answer the way he taught it, you will fail regardless of if you had the right answer or not. Make sure you buy the package.
If you are not looking forward to taking a STAT class, you might want to give him a shot. He is very clear and very organized. Always ask for help if something is not clear, he will gladly go over everything you don't understand. There is a homework for every chapter, which gives you a better understanding of in-class problems.
This is the WORST teacher I have ever taken! He literally does NOT care. DO NOT take this professor under any circumstances!!!!!!
He literally goes through every paper in the garbage. He takes them out and reads them. He also goes to every student during the tests and searches and takes apart their calculators. It was like going through a bad break up and constantly thinking your being cheated on. If you don't do his exact formulas and his way of teaching you MUST ask but no.
The best teacher I ever had ! I know nothing of math but Professor Levy made it very clear and loves to answer students questions ! He is available in his office hours if you need help as well ! There is homework for every section and if you don't do it you probably won't pass the class but the homework helps you understand the material better !
he's a really nice guy and gives good lectures but he gets off topic really often. if you have a question, he might give you a sarcastic answer and belittle you in front of the class. workload snowballed for me. lots and lots of homework. the homework helps more than he does sometimes, but he'll give partial credit for answers on exams.
This man confused me the whole semester. I should have bought a tape recorder he says one thing one day and different thing the next. Waits until he gets participation to move on. He even has a seating chart so choose your seat wisely. If you want a good grade do the online homework its the only way to pass if your exam grades are horrible.
At first I didn't think he would be a good teacher but my assumption was wrong, I would definitely recommend taking his class. Do all homework assignments online, take notes and study for test. He also has extra credit.
The thing is he's not a BAD professor. But if you don't learn math quickly I wouldn't recommend taking him. his examples and notes are very unclear. The homework grade doesn't really save you. His tests are a bit challenging, and his reviews are not helpful.
You know that guy that's always trying to convince you that he's not like the other guys. And he's a good guy. This is him as a profesor. He constantly talks about how he's "doing you a favor." And that "it's really for your benefit" he's beyond boring and annoying but just get though and you can easily pass with a C just by doing the hw
4 tests (point system not traditional grade scale) and MyStatLab for homework. 12 points of extra credit for Stat Labs or Practice Problems. I am not a math person at all I managed to get a B, however, I took no other classes. Tests are not multiple choice. I had a hard time with his style of teaching. Not easy.
Even if you pass and get a 100 on the online HW. If you get bad grades on all test you will fail. To pass this class you must study and addition there is no multiple choice questions.
Wonderful professor. He really cares about his students and does so much to help you pass. He is very meticulous but thats how he knows what will help students succeed in the class. Follow his advice, he knows what works! He offers extra credit on every exam as well as for going to reviews and for completing the very helpful study guides.
I am not a math person and I passed with an A. I also went to the extra credit lectures, spent countless hours in the Math Lab and studied every sample exam he gave thoroughly. He gives the tools needed but if you are lazy/not a math wiz you will not pass. I believe he geniuly cares but will not babysit student who do not want to succeed.
Awful. He won't just explicitly give you what you need to pass, you have to transpose his every word to paper. He shoves "homework" in there that is not like the lectures, which further confuse people. Doesn't care to help you if you don't use his 1980s calculator. his class also has about a 20% success rate, so make what you will of that
He's a great teacher that really wants his students to pass. This is a hard course and I believe he tries his hardest to make it easier. He gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. I wish I was better at math so I can get a higher grade.
Prof Levy has been teaching for 28 years, that's why he has the apple! he wants to help students succeed in this course and all his courses. He provides reviews that are just like the test and can answer any question clearly and easily I am not a math person and he helped us all . I wish he taught more classes! his website offers everything EC too!
If you want someone to make math more difficult, feel free to take this guy's courses.
he's a solid choice I would recommend him to any visual learners out there. very easy offers works shops if you don't understand the material. you just have to take good notes and everything is easy from there. gives reviews for tests and has one class before each test for questions on anything. 10/10 WOULD TAKE AGAIN
Levy really is a great professor. He gives you multiple chances to succeed. You're allowed up to 12 extra credit points either attending a review session per the stats department or turning in test reviews. Everything is on MyStatLab and he gives you unlimited chances to receive a 100% by the due date. He really cares about the students success.
Objective review: 4 tests and online HW. HW is worth as much as a test grade which can make the difference in passing the course. LOADS of extra credit, take advantage. Study guides for tests . He even made a packet of notes for students to get, all you do is fill in what he writes. Underrated prof, great guy, great lectures. I'm TERRIBLE at math.
I took him for college algebra and honestly he's kinda funny A lot of people don't seem to like him but I honestly do He's a good professor and gave extra credit You get 4 test & the final(multiple choice) He does grade differently on the 4 test, if you do the work right you'll get points on the test Homework counts as a test grade at the end.
If you show up to class and actually do your work, then you should be fine. I even went to him after class and he helped a lot. He really cares about his students and has extra credit!
Surprisingly, the class wasnt difficult. There were 4 major tests & online homework assignments for each section which you can still receive credit for if it's late. You have to buy a packet which he does his notes with, take good notes & there should be no problem. He gives practice problems for exams which help a lot. Extra credit was given also.
Very tough grader. Provides extra credit for practice problems but if you miss one problem forget about it will not be accepted. Lectures arent very educational for everybody just a few
You must attend class and do your homework. He does give extra credit for each test. I am not the best in math and tried so hard and got a C. You really have to pay attention and ask questions. He is extremely full of himself and has favorites. But he does know what he is talking about. Its an easy class if you pay attention, but still hard!!
Professor Levy is a nice,caring professor that wants to make sure his students pass his class. Never miss one of his lectures cause he literally writes/shows you how to do the problems exactly. The homework/test reviews were all online, make sure to do them. His tests can be difficult but he does give partial credit if you do the work correctly.
Best STAT professor ever! I'm in another stat class now and I'm so thankful I took his class. The tricks with the calculator and all.. I got an A in the class. He's a bit repetitive and will make you roll your eyes a few times but compared to the other stat professors I've met at BC I would definitely take him.
Good feedback, and straight up with what you need to do to pass the class! Very willing to help you succeed! I suck at math but love the way he teaches, he really helped me understand
I've taken and failed MAC1105 twice and now that I'm taking it with this professor I have an A. His biggest thing is making sure his students understand the material and pass. Need extra help? He's there. I highly recommend him if you struggle with math.
Hes really easy to approach and explains everything very well while making sure the class is right with him. The hw can be annoying but is a huge help on his tests! He also offers extra credit for every test off the practice test so you can easily get points every test
While he is pretty nice the way he teaches just didn't fit me quite well
He is by far one of the best math professors you will ever encounter, I was skeptical on him at first but he really knows his stuff. His style of teaching is great, he really prepares everyone, not just math lovers because I suck at math.. he will help you get through this math course as long as you are not lazy you will pass if you TRY.
He's a really caring professor. From the very beginning he tells you when/what to expect. There's a lot of extra credit opportunities and he does test reviews before the test. Take advantage of the office hours! The homework is really easy and very important. easy A tbh
Awesome instructor. Levy wants you to pass and he wants you to understand the material. Its a lot overall but if you go to class, pay attention and follow along, and take good notes you shouldnt have a problem with it. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING, and go over your recent notes at least one a day. Do the homework early, it will help you.
Professor Levy is just great! Its up to you to just do your home work and read your notes. He is very good at explaining and loves to help anyway possible. He really wants you to understand and learn.
Best math teacher i've ever had. Really cares about you succeeding Made the math seem simple and I am terrible at math. If you're actually serious about graduating then I highly recommend this prof.
I just want to say i suck at math and he helped me so much!! Easy homework, study guides for all 4 tests that are given. There's no midterm or final. Gives great examples! If you have a question about your grade he will be more than happy to show it to you.
Hes a great professor and math is not my strong subject. I had a tough time in his class but I passed with a C. I recommend that if you have any issues that you go to his office hours if you have more questions, hes extremely patient and has taught stats for 30+ years. 4 test and a homework grade. Gotta have the HW grade at 95 to help you out.
If I could go back in time and avoid this class, I would've. The textbook wasn't required HOWEVER you had to rely on his notes which weren't the best. If you had to ask a question regarding a problem he showed, he rushes to explain it because he doesn't want to be behind. If math isn't your strong subject, don't take this professor.
Very good teacher, strict grader. Gives you extra credit on each test, assigns homework weekly but lots of questions. Caring, ready to help, and goes at a normal pace. Gives lots of great advice, if taken. Been a teacher at BC for a while, so he knows a lot. Very helpful around Finals, gives you a review identical to the final. All around, great!
Rushes the lectures so he doesn't get behind, Strict attendance policy, if you miss 4 classes you automatically fail, gives homework every class on MyMathLab, tests are not very clear and hard.
Professor Levy is an amazing and super kind professor, he will go out of his way to help you and is one that truly cares for his students success. No midterm or cumulative final, there's 4 tests and homework that counts for 1 test grade. I'm terrible at math but as long as you try, pay attention, and do extra credit you should be okay, take him!
If you're bad at math, take him. He breaks it down to the point where there is no way you won't understand. However, he is repetitive and stubborn. So if you're good at math, you will easily be annoyed.
Stubborn and rushes material, he has all his work already prewritten on slides while he is teaching making it hard to follow along. He is very oraganized and does give tests back the next class but since all the homework is on Pearson and he makes his own tests it makes them difficult.
Truly cares about all his students passing, if you need help with anything, talk to him about it! Gives plenty of extra credit, don't pass up the opportunity. Do all the homework, show up to class, and you will pass the class
took him for both college algebra and stats and cant recommend him enough to those who are bad at math. he explains everything thoroughly and offers so much extra credit. he may seem tough on the outside, but hes actually really supportive and wants his students to pass. 3 tests & 1 final for algebra and 4 tests for stats, no cumulative final
the way he teaches is very easy to understand and thats coming from someone who sucks at math. As long as you pay attention you should be fine, hes a really nice teacher and wants to see his students succeed!
Mr. Levy is amazing! My mom had him when she went to BC, she is terrible at math but he was so amazing she got a high A, and she remembered him and recommended him to me 8 years later. He is an amazing teacher and breaks down the information so anyone can get a good grade. Lots of extra credit and if you do the homework, you'll get a good grade.
I really liked this professor in the sense of teaching math and is very open to helping you but he often went off topic in the middle of the lecture. The times he did this he'd rush information at the end to stay on schedule but very rarely happened. He also doesnt use D2L. Do the homework, go to class and youll pass.
this teacher makes his own book so if you miss one day of class you just messed up huge! he is really annoying always comparing your grades to other classes grades. He gives 4 test and a lot of homework!
he is the best math teacher ever.... wish i had him for mac1105. fill in notes, tons of ec. this guy is a blessing, he talks alot but its for good reason. Bless his heart for having to switch his whole class to online ( covid-19). if u get anything less than a C... thats your fault
Don't even think about skipping or leaving early in his class, he takes points off. Checks calculator, make you put phone watches bags in the back of room. About 30 assignments worth an exam grade on pearson. 4 exams. Make sure you are specific on your answer. He's a tough grader, if you forget to add something on your answer its wrong.
I had to retake Statistics because for me it was not an easy subject. Professor Levy is nothing short of fantastic! He really goes out of his way to thoroughly explain everything and makes sure you truly understand. He is very passionate about his career and is extremely devoted to his students. I wish he could have been my math professor always!
He is very old school and it's either his way or the highway. Super tough grader, if your work is even a little off, he's basically accusing you of cheating. Also not a fan of the way he teaches. And there is a lot of homework on Pearson.
Mr. Levy's goes the extra mile to ensure that everything is thoroughly explained. He is a statistics wizard, and this class is not an easy A. I put in numerous hours studying and still wound up with a B. Normally, I would be upset about it, but in this case I felt proud. He provides every opportunity for success, and you should come ready to work.
GREAT TEACHER. Very knowledgeable about the subject and is very helpful with extra credit. Highly recommend if math is not your thing.
Very passionate about his classes and its mandatory to go to his class in order to pass with a decent grade. Hes test heavy and his homework really do help you get a better understanding of his course and lectures. Take advantage of his short pauses to ask questions because he wont go back. His lectures are amazing and broken down into step by step
Great professor! He gives opportunity for extra credit and he tried his best to help you pass.
Professor Levy really cares about his students and is willing to help you if you don't understand a certain topic. The class is difficult but if you pay attention and do the homework you'll do well. I've never understood math as well as I have with this prof, he truly is one of the best. As long as you put effort into this class, you'll pass.
Great professor. If you attend class and follow his notes, youll do well. He explains everything well and has the easiest way of saying them. Hes been wonderful with this whole remote learning. His practice test are VERY similar to the actual test and he drops the 5 lowest homework grades. Take him!
I had the pleasure of taking Professor. Levy for remote Statistics. I've never had a professor that taught and explained math the way that he does. His lectures were easy to follow and he was extremely nice & you can tell he genuinely cares for his students. I would recommend Mitchel Levy to my friends & family. Take him!
Honestly, there is nothing wrong with Professor Levy, hes a very nice guy and is understanding. The worst part is taking his course on myMathLab, literally the worst thing ever, there so many assignments with 30+ questions I wanted to shoot myself but he pushed me very hard to complete the course. Good luck.
You really need to pay attention in his class. If u come to class and do your work then u should be fine. If u have any questions hell help u. He does give attitude sometimes so bear with him.
Grades are based on (5) tests and homework, if you do the homework your grade should be fine. Online class, he took attendance only when people were not participating. No cumulative final in my course which was really nice. Some of the homeworks are definitely long, but they are all due on the test day so you can spread out when you do them.
I'll be real with you. I had to bust my ass for this class. It took around 77 hours of mymathlab doing homework. BUT! He is a lax grader. Lowest test score gets dropped. He has attitude when it comes to slackers but he really does care if he sees you putting in the work and doing your part. DO NOT MISS CLASS and DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
Honestly, I've always had a tough time with math until I took it with this professor. He explains everything in a way you can understand, gives you the tools you need and has no issue when you need clarity on certain things. It takes a lot of work and participation in lecture but he cares for his students and sets them up for success.
Hes an amazing teacher!! Really enjoyed having him his semester. You need to do your homework and practice tests!! They help so much. Hes very friendly I 100 would take again. By textbook use i mean My Lab on Pearson, super easy to use and actually helpful.
If you had a difficult time learning statistics, this professor is definitely for you. I took William Kunz last semester and it didn't go so well and I barely learned anything. But with Mr. Levy you will learn everything and will pass confidently! I HIGHLY advise you to take this professor before he retires! He's amazing.
Mr.Levy is one of the best professors I have ever had. He gives extra credit every test which really helps. He'd wants everyone to succeed and will give you the one on one time if needed. As long as you study, you'll pass easily. Statistics is hard but he makes it super easy to understand. Take him before he retires!
One of the best professors honestly. I definitely struggled in his class simply because math is not my best subject, but his lectures were very clear, and if you had a question he did his best to explain so that you understand. Homework can be overwhelming but with all the resources you have, it's not impossible to do.
Professor was very sweet and thorough throughout his class. Exams were not bad and he always gave us a few extra points. Honestly, a very sweet and nice teacher. Definitely recommend.
