Lectures are extremely detailed and very helpful if you go, but you dont HAVE TO. Very accessible outside of class. Helpful during office hours. Sometimes gives extra credit during lectures, so you should probably go.

Gives extra cred on random lecture dates. Often will not be able to cover all material within the period, but always uploads his slides after. If you're confused, he'll pause lecture to go back and explain stuff. Exams are tricky, so make sure to pay attention, do tb hw, WA, and watch Teaching Center practice exam vids to get an idea of test q's.

Professor Carmichael is a solid teacher. I already knew the material but didnt score high enough on the ALEKs test so I had to take it. If you prepare for the exams it will not be too hard.

Lectures aren't mandatory, but if you don't go, you probably won't do well. The tests and quizzes aren't too hard if you study and go to discussions. Weekly homework is assigned, which pretty accurately reflects the test material.

I didn't go to lecture after the first week and just copied notes from the uploaded slides and did the homework (I did go to discussion periods though- that's necessary). I already knew the material from high school so it wasn't that hard. If you don't know the material, go to lecture. And use Broward's resources to help study for exams!

Learned a lot and he is good at explaining things clearly. Tons of homework but its very helpful to prepare for exams. Discussion period is very helpful but lecture attendance is not super important. Sometimes gives extra credit for showing up to lecture so it never hurts. Hes a very chill guy and this was an easy A.

MAC 1147 is a very fast paced course due to its nature, so ignore anyone saying he goes too fast. Prof. Carmichael is an amazing teacher who explains things in a way that is super easy to understand, and if you have any problems he will help you after class or in office hours. The exams he helps make are very fair. Highly recommend him.

Prof. Carmichael is an amazing professor who clearly cares for his students and for math. He explains everything in detail and is always accessible at any hour and usually responds in 30 minutes. His quizzes are very similar to the exams, and he gives us plenty of resources to prepare for the exam.

Lectures and homework sometimes take a lot of time to complete, and you do 3 modules a week. Carmichael is amazing though, really cares about his students and explains concepts well and is always there to help. Quizzes are open note, just pretty frequent. Exams are like the quizzes, but doable if you study for them. Made me like math more.

Very detailed lectures with plenty of examples. Responds to emails very quickly and will offer any help you might need. Cares about your grade in the course and offers extra-credit for each lecture. Actually sent me an email reminding me to take the first exam after I had forgotten about it.

Prof Carmichael is an amazing professor. The class moves fast. I definitely felt like I was drowning, but that was completely my fault. Everything makes sense, but I procrastinated A LOT. If you have an asynchronous section, keep yourself on track, and you'll be fine. Super great and helpful guy.

Carmichael is a great professor; you simply just have to work a lot in his class which is expected. Be dubious of other reviews saying this class is extremely hard - it's not and Carmichael is super reasonable and generous. I had great TA's and a great time in the class.

Hes a good professor. He answered my emails quickly and answered all of my questions. He tries to make it fun and it is. Very fair professor.

Carmichael is super cool and really funny. He is fair and answers questions quickly. However, the homeworks are very time consuming and difficult compared to the lecturers. For a UF math professor, this guy is amazing.

Super funny guy, I find math incredibly boring but he made it interesting in the lectures. Class moves very fast (60ish homework problems a week on about 12 lecture videos with a weekly quiz and a progress exam every two weeks). Definitely feel more prepared going into calc 1.

Made online math bearable throughout the semester. There was definitely a sh*t ton of content that was reviewed, (it's trig and precalc) but I think I can survive calc now because I had Prof. Carmichael. I wish I had his class in-person.

His class was extremely organized. The prerecorded lectures were detailed and helpful. The class is pretty straightforward if you put effort into learning the material in the lectures. Professor Carmichael also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

It's math so of course it's going to be difficult, but Mr. Carmichael is a very funny, understanding, and enjoyable teacher. He tries to make learning fun, and gives you lots of late passes. His exams are the same as the practice tests, and he's very easy to get in touch with outside of class.

You could tell he put a lot of effort into the online course. It was a lot of material but I felt that his lecture videos were extremely helpful. Its is definitely a difficult course and you have to constantly be on top of the work because it adds up and it is a lot. Also dont leave studying for the last minute like I did and you should be fine!

Online lectures were really funny and very informative; Carmichael was very kind and very responsive to emails. Workload is heavy but manageable since this is basically 2 classes in 1, stay on top of it and you'll be fine. Gave 20 late passes, unlimited attempts on quizzes, and 2 tries on all exams except final. Lots of extra credit.

Professor Carmichael gives many lectures throughout the course, but if you pay attention and take notes you will learn a lot from them and do well on quizzes and exams. To prepare for exams I would recommend doing the review quizzes he posts before each one and watching the teaching center reviews.

Great in detail descriptions of everything and did a great job of breaking things down.

Professor Carmichael is easily one of the best if not THE best math teacher I have ever had. His lectures are entertaining and he cracks little jokes to make them bearable. He understands that the class has a lot of work and is very fast paced so he tries to help his students as much as he can. He makes math a lot easier!

It is very important that you stay up to date with the lectures on the homework in this class or you will definitely fall behind. He does lectures and TAs work with you for the rest of the stuff. The material is not too hard but there is a lot of it and you will have to make sure you are accumulating knowledge and not just studying for exams.

Great professor! Offers a ton of extra credit opportunities to post grades. Tests are fine since you have access to previous quizzes to review. Lectures have little funny sayings in them.

king.

He was very helpful during office hours and always kind to students. He seemed very knowledgeable on what we were being taught and was always prepared for class. Just do the practice quizzes and reviews before exams and pay attention during lecture and everything is pretty easy.

Reviews before every test which helps a lot. Pay attention in class especially on zoom or not you will be lost. Get study edge if you can helps a lot.

I had the luck of having Professor Carmichael for my first math class, MAC1147. His lectures were really good at hitting at both common cases and edge cases for math. It is thanks in large part to him that I had a solid base for upper-division classes.

The course's content is difficult, but Prof. Carmichael made it easy to understand. His lectures are thorough and hilarious. There is a lot of HW - the problems on the HW can also be a bit challenging, but I found they helped me better understand the material. I also had a great TA, but I know others who've had bad ones.

Prof. Carmichael is extremely respectable and a very good teacher. There was so much homework that it was hard to keep up sometimes but he offers 20 late passes on both the homeworks and the quizzes, which each have unlimited tries. The exams are super difficult though, with super low averages and no curving. Hardest math/precalc class i've taken

Carmichael is a good prof but the course itself is just a lot. The exams are hard, his quizzes to review for the exam are nothing like it. The exams are more about applying what you learned. It also really depends on which TA you have, some suck and others actually give you real exam practice problems. This class is hard but Carmichael teaches well

There is homework on every lecture that is due 2 days after the lecture. You will have 3 lectures and homework assignments every week and quiz at the beginning of each week, it's not too bad though because you get 20 late passes to use on homework and quizzes. He has 4 exams and a final exam, his review quizzes tend to be harder than his exams.

Study for his exams, they're a lot harder than the homework. Otherwise, he's kind and tries to connect with his students despite the large size. He explains things well and gives passes for homework. Probably better to take it in person than online though.

Great professor who teaches well and really cares about his students! His tests are much more difficult than anything you see in class or on the homework, so make sure you practice with more difficult problems and go to the teaching center for tutoring. Gives lots of opportunity to succeed (EC, drops lowest exam score, drops quizzes/hw). 10/10 prof

He is so sweet and so funny BUT this is quite literally the hardest math class Ive ever taken. Only passed b/c drops lowest exam score and pulled a B on final. I put HOURS on end into studying/going to tutoring for each exam and still did poorly due to how different his exams were from the resources he gave us to study with. So hard.

As a student with a disability being away this prof mad emy life very easy. He was always prompt in emailing my advanced lecture slides (he wont do it for everyone but he posts the slides after class) the exams are tough but he was always available for questions. Go to office hours and do the homework without cheating and you will do great.

I took him because I didn't feel confident enough to take Calc 1 at the time. If you are thinking of the same make sure to really pay attention to the parts of MAC1147 about logs and trig.

One of the hardest precalc classes ive seen. Tons of homework and lectures although they only count for a small portion of your grade.The exams are a majority of the grade and are difficult. Best way to review is to study the review quizzes as much as possible. And if you are taking online do your first take of the exam and study it.

Great professor for this class! Very helpful.

Took diff eq with him over the summer, pretty good prof overall for this class. Super fast paced but he did a good job with uploading lectures + notes and being accessible for questions. Funny guy and good at explaining difficult math concepts

There is lots of homework but it is pretty straight forward if you pay attention to the lectures. He explains the topics very well and always sends the recording after if you need to go back. Lots of studying for the exams but there are no suprises.

He is a good prof but there is a large amount of homework which is doable if you manage your time. Recommend going to office hours and tutoring more often for trig portion of the class because that's when it gets more difficult. He is good at explaining things though and very helpful and kind in office hours

Prof. Carmichael was a great professor during the lectures. He always seemed to have his information prepared and rehearsed which made the topics easy to understand during class time. However, the exams were always a struggle. I only managed to get an A on one exam throughout the whole term, even though I spent hours each day studying. Be prepared.

I enjoyed his humor and lectures and discussions are mandatory to attend. As far as the course goes, it is hard. There are 2-3 HWs due each week along with a quiz. There are 4 exams that are 50% of your grade and the lowest one gets dropped. I recommend studying past exams rather than just the material. The material gets harder throughout the semes

Prof. Carmichael is a pretty likable teacher, although this class can be a lot of work. Three homework assignments a week which can be lengthy, as well as a quiz once a week. There are four exams and the lowest score gets dropped. He also gives 20 late passes to use on homework. Overall, this class isn't too bad, but it does take a lot of work.

Dr. Carmichael was a great professor and really boosted my confidence as a student who struggles with math. I felt I got a better grasp from his teaching than ever before on trig and precalc concepts. There is a lot of homework but I found it helpful. Quizzes may be retaken many times and the lowest test score is dropped.

He did a great job of being there for you even in a huge lecture class. The class was difficult (very easy at first) and there is a lot of homework and quizzes (that you can retake 20 times) so there is a lot of outside work. The exams were hard but he puts up past exams which definitely help. He was great but I didn't love the class.

Great professor! It is a fast paste class but he did a good job of teaching. Seems like he actually enjoys his job. Exams can get a little tricky but using past exams to help study works well. You can take the quizzes online up to 20 times and you get a good amount of late passes for hw (I forgot how many). Discussions are mandatory attendance.

I really appreciate how he tried to make this course as fun as possible through the lectures. I have never liked math, but this course made it somewhat enjoyable. The coursework is pretty easy if you watch the lectures, and if not the videos on Canvas cover almost everything regardless. Would definitely take another one of his classes.

Carmichael is a very good professor but you will need to be ready to put some work in for this class. There are three lectures a week and a homework after each lecture and a quiz once a week. Attendance is not mandatory but I would highly recommend going. This was a good class and I learned a lot.

EXTREMELY hard class if you aren't good at math. Difficulty ramps up rapidly throughout the semester. However, Carmichael is an extremely clear and good lecturer and cares about students. The tests are fair but very difficult. As everyone has said, study previous years' exams. Do not skip lectures. Very long but useful homework, do it all and try.

His lectures were really good at explaining the material. If I ever got confused at one topic it would be fine because he uploads his lectures after class. He was very nice and approachable, and really seemed to be passionate about the lecture material.

Good lecturer, and fair professor. Practice exams are very similar to the real exams. The majority of the course is fairly simple algebra.

he offers zoom and recordings so lectures (3x a week) aren't mandatory. homework after every lecture and sometimes the questions aren't really covered in the lectures but he has a discussion open for students to ask and answer questions which was super helpful (and sometimes there are videos attached to the questions that are also helpful).

Professor Carmichael is a very understanding individual, and I can tell he is passionate in teaching. However, I would not take another class with him because of how difficult his exams are compared to homework material (which there is a lot of). I do not feel like my grade reflects my understanding of the content within this course.

I am naturally pretty good at math and have always gotten high exam grades, but this class taught me something different. I feel like the professor makes the exams harder than they need to be. He lectures SUPER FAST. I stopped attending class because he would over the material too fast. I watched the lecture videos he posted. Be prepared to study.

Class was pretty easy and lectures went over everything you needed to know. Did the homework and did the past exams before each one. Lowest of the four midterms gets dropped. Decent amount of extra credit offered.

I would highly recommend him. Go to class, you'll understand a lot more that way. He is nice and does his best to help students understand. Uses a lot of memes in his lectures, and will talk with you about things besides math. He is a great choice. Class will be a bit tough if you didn't do well in math in high school, but it's like that for anyone

The professor was really great but this course is very intense in the amount of work it requires each week. I think the structure and organization of the course is all really good but just be ready for the effort it requires. Lectures were helpful as well.

very time consuming class; about 3 hw assignments due per week (20-45 questions each). fast paced covering over 34 topics, and 4 exams as well as a final. however, chances for EC, lowest exam, quiz, and homework assignments dropped. this class required a lot of self teaching and looking for resources outside notes. very passionate professor though.

Professor Carmichael has a challenging course, but he is kind and gives good tools to help study. Exams can be kind of tricky and are sometimes a little bit different from the review, but this is coming from someone that struggled with math. There are quite a few lectures and homework assignments, but he gives out lots of late passes and attempts.

If you watch the lectures you will do good in the class. He gives examples and the homework is very manageable in regards to feedback. This was my heaviest class workload-wise but it's expected when taking pre-calc. He gives a lot of leniency with turning in assignments. He gives two attempts per exam, unlimited attempts for everything else.

Professor Carmichael is one of the best math teachers I've had. Has a lot of extra credit opportunities (DO THEM ALL!) and uploads lectures online. Difficult because of its nature, insanely fast and you will rely on self-re-teaching for exams. TAs were super helpful. For those not confident in math: I feared this class and got an A-, you got this.

3 days to finish hw & 20+ late passes for the semester. quizzes on mondays based on last week's content, but u have the entire day to do it online & questions come straight from the hw just diff numbers. exams are harder than hw but thats a given in any class. review past exams & you'll be good. this class shouldnt be your most difficult one at all

If you struggle with math, this class may be difficult; however, Dr. Carmicheal is rather considerate. There is pretty much HW every other day and you need to either attend the lectures, or watch the recordings to complete them.

TAKE PROFESSOR CARMICHAEL!! I liked precalculus in high school when I took it, and this class, although it was a lot harder, was still a fantastic class to take. There were about 34 lectures and a quiz every four lectures, five exams, and the last was a cumulative exam. There were discussion posts as extra credit. Overall a great professor!

Prof is nice, but the amount of work either forces you to understand the material fully or use artificial intelligence to complete it. LIT215/Office Hours were probably most helpful way to get problems explained. The main pro of having so much homework was that it acted as a much-needed balance to exam grades, which had low averages and no curve

Great prof but the class was hard. 3 lectures per week, 1 homework per lecture (25-35 questions each), and one quiz a week (10 questions). Lots of extra credit. 4 exams plus a final. Lowest exam, quizzes, and homeworks dropped. Study past exams, not the quizzes. Quizzes are way more difficult. Discussion attendance is graded. My TA was terrible.

Class moves at a very fast pace. Each week there are 2-3 hw that are 15-40 questions. There are many opportuities to use "late passes" though. Exams are heavily weighted and questions can be "different" from hws. Quizzes every Monday are based on hws. Cumulative final. Look at previous exams+do practice questions from them to review for exams!

He's a great teacher who likes his job. He often goes into WHY the concepts are the way they are and their importance. Every lecture has homework of 20-40 questions but is relatively easy to do. I didn't do very well on any of the tests but scored highly on homework and quizzes and ended up with a B+ so an A should be achievable with more effort.

Professor Carmichael was very fun to learn under. His lectures were thorough and explained concepts in their entirety. Not only did I learn how to utilize new concepts, but I also learned how and why they work. Although a lot of work, effort, and time management were required, his class was pleasant and straightforward.

Carmichael's MAC1147 is challenging but rewarding. The course covers a lot of ground quickly, so active participation and resourceful study habits, like using unstuck study, are key. Exams can be tricky, but his teaching style and available support make the effort worthwhile.

I absolutely loved Professor Carmichael and I think he's a great professor. He is intelligent, caring, funny, fair, and humble (not pretentious). The exams were very similar to the practice exams/exams from previous semesters, which he readily provides. He is the only math professor I've ever had who records and posts every lecture he gives.

Carmichael is a great professor, but the class is naturally hard (and I mean it is TERRIBLE). He had generous late passes and drop grades. If you show up to class you should be fine (I never did). I mostly got high D's and low C's on the exams, but for the final I locked in and got an 88% so I ended with a B.

I absolutely loved Professor Carmichael and I think he's a great professor. He is intelligent, caring, funny, fair, and humble (not pretentious). The exams were very similar to the practice exams/exams from previous semesters, which he readily provides. He is the only math professor I've ever had who records and posts all of his lectures.

Carmichael reminded that I actually like math. One of the best professors and lecturers I have ever had. He explains topics in depth and never shys away from a question. The class is very clearly laid out no surprises, EXTREMELY fair has extra credit and dropping of an exam. HW heavy and a decent amount of work not a snooze class, work is required!

Carmichael is stellar professor, BUT this class requires a LOT of work. It is precalc and trig, which is offered as 2 separate courses at UF, but MAC1147 are both smashed into one. Ended up using Teachmezach to help solidify the content, really affordable tutoring service.

He was such an incredible professor. I love him. Yes the class is hard, but if you show up you will be fine. Do your homework don't use AI and study.

Do NOT use AI to do your homework. Actually study and do all the HW assignments (even if they're a lot). He's a great professor if you go to his office hours and utilize all the resources you are provided. It's a harder class, but attend lecture and don't cheat. Also, his exams are almost identical to the practice exams he publishes!

I cannot gas up this man enough, his lectures are the only ones I've ever understood so easily (even though you might have to go back in the recording if you miss something, but the explanation is really good). If you do your homework and the practice quizzes & past years tests, the tests are easy and are pretty much the same.

Lots of homework and quizzes, but very good instruction overall and always willing to help students understand

If Professor Carmichael didn't teach this class, I definitely would've done horrible. His lectures are actually amazing and very informative. I've never been a math person, but I enjoyed learning from him. As long as you follow the lectures and make an effort to do the homework on your own, you'll go great!

Professor is chill and good at explaining the content and expectations. Homework 3x a week but definitely manageable if you stay on top of it. Provides past exams that are exactly like the ones he gives and he drops your lowest exam. You can redo quizzes and hw questions until you get a 100 plus extra credit every class. Overall great professor!

Professor Carmichael is an amazing lecturer who explains concepts clearly and thoroughly. There are 3 HWs a week with around 30 questions each, long but great practice. Exams are almost identical to the past exams he posts, so use them to study. Extra credit for attending class and answering a live question can add up to 2% to your final grade.

LOVE CARMICHAEL!! Make sure to actually use the past exams he provides and STUDY ON YOUR OWN TIME! Study these exams over the homeworks/quizzes because those aren't as accurate (learned that the hard way...). Make sure to make it to your discussions because that's the only attendance that's actually mandatory :)

Professor Carmichael did a great job lecturing and making the class feel personal even though it was online. Although the class can be difficult at times he explains topics well and has an easy to follow system for homework, quizzes, tests, and extra credit. I would easily recommend taking his course.
