another good professor, be on top of your algebra and you'll get a definite A

He is a very good professor. If you do the homework, you deffinately get an A. Some students say he is hard, but that is because they didn't do the homework. Grow up.

He can't teach at all? He's great. You're just an idiot.

Before taking this class I was told by another teacher that Churchillw as the best math teacher at the school, and I completely agree. He manages to make the material funny which is to say that he makes the material very comfortable. Not very difficult to learn in this class if you want to.

do all hand in and do not hand in homeworks and u can get an easy A or B. he's capable to answer all type of questions.THHEEE best

i minored in Math. he is very helpful--i.e., spending time answering questions from homework. he is very patient and polite. if you do the assigned homework and take note from his classes, you can get a B. honestly, he seemingly is the best prof. in the department.

He is a very helpful teacher, explain every difficult Cal. 3 thing base on Cal. 1. Easy to understand. I think he is one of the best math teacher for the math classes that are 200 and above. But that is not a easy class, have to do every homework and work hard to earn a good grade.

For all of those mindless infidels that claimed Churchill was "the worst," you are mindless indeed. Churchill puts the whole course in perspectives that you can understand. He is patient, intelligent, wise, kind-hearted, helpful, and possibley the best math professor I know. Hands-down A+.

Great professor.

he is da man!

The best professor i ever had. He makes connection to linear algebra and geometry and really shows the beauty in math. He is fascinating and patient. It's good to know there are still teachers like this. Listen the class and do the HM and you'll learn a lot and pass the class.

The best math professor at Hunter. Patient, clear, great sense of humor. He's been doing this a long time, and he knows what he's doing. A fair grader, and if you try at all you will do well.

He is very strict but he can teach well. You just gotta show some effort. He's very well prepared and will not tolerate laziness. If you;re a good student you have nothing to worry about. if you're a lazy bum, you might not do well.

He's the best math professor I've ever had. Very knowledgeable and clear. His drawings really help you understand the math in a ``real-world'' sort of way. He does expect a lot from students, but you will come away with so much from his class. I'd definitely take any class with him.

Simply the best :) This kind of professors is almost impossible to find these days. His knowledge is matched by the passion for the subject and love of teaching... Look no further :)

I have to agree with the previous comments here. He is the best no doubt about it. He is very patient and wants to make sure that the topics are explained as much as possible. However do not take him if you are a lazy bum or do not like maths.

Best prof, what a mathematician Hunter's having. You gotta take this guy and ace.

with prof. churchil the hardest part will be to understand his hand writing ( it is horrible ...). other than that he is great. you have to : 1. do your h.w 2. attend to class 3. ask questions and show your presence - it is good if he knows your name. the best thing about him - he is a fair grader. if you are lasy - you're going down ...

The best prof I've had at Hunter so far. He teaches so that you can actually see where the concepts are coming from, and yes this involves some long equations, but it's worth it if you take the time to understand. Totally a fair grader, and comepletly approachable. I decided to major in math after taking his class!!

Yes,it's true that his handwriting is not the best, but if you ask to have him reread what he wrote, he will be more than happy to read it to you. His office hours are extremely helpful. He understands that students do not get what sometimes is going on in class, so he expects people to go and ask him questions. I would definitely recommed him.

The absolute BEST. Brilliant & dedicated. My absolute favorite. All the math majors adore him. He's the man if you want to learn math. You will really learn and enjoy math. He makes it fun.

Churchill is an excellent professor. If you are considering taking his class it is a VERY GOOD IDEA to be very familiar with integration and differentiation BEFORE you step into MATH 150. The class hits the ground running, but if you have the kind of general overview that I mentioned you will be fine. He has a creative way of looking at things.

great teacher, hard tests which is good if you want the knowledge. very funny!! and really nice. Has a little trouble reading his own handwriting.

great professor. the class would be a lot easier if you are really familiar with algebra, which you shud be. not too harsh. he reviews the test a class before and basically tells you whats on it. if u go to class and study, you will do fine. attendance is not mandatory, but the more u put into this class, the higher ur grade, no tricks

He looks like one of the nerds from "Revenge of the Nerds." He even comes equipped with a pocket protector...lol. However he's a very good professor. This class is really abstract, so you must put in extra work (i.e. read the text). His tests are structured so that you walk away with atleast a c. If you get below a c you pretty much suck...

Be honest, he is a very good professor who really wants to help you to understand this course. He tries to make the exams easier. You have to memorize all proofs that he gives you in the class. Some of them will be on the exam. I also recommend you to take Math 160 first. The textbook that he uses is unuseful. Taking his class is not a bad choose.

Absolutely the best. If you like math & want to learn more, take his classes as often as possible. He is dedicated, enthusiastic, & excited about math and his students. If you intend to be successful, then you want Professor Churchill in your life. If you are not enthusiastic about learning and growing, stay away so you don't drag us down with you.

Obviously understands the material very well. Has a sense of humor and interprets difficult concepts. However, his notation is so precise that it can be confusing (you'll see...) and he isn't that great at answering questions clearly. His actual lectures are great, though.

Excellent and entertaining teacher. He teaches higher level math with the intentions of helping yuo achieve at even higher levels. This does not work well for all, but it is effective for those already interested in doing even more advanced math. His lectures are funny, even if we did not all get the joke!

He's good, but pushes you to really understand the material. Studying for his class takes time, but you'll have a good foundation for future classes.

The posters below are pretty on point but don't listen to the whiners from Precalc and other introductory classes who get easily frustrated by math. I've found that whether or not you're interested in a topic before you enter a class barely matters and having a good teacher is everything. Calc 3 was one of the best experiences I've had at Hunter. P

He is a good professor. He's pretty clear and wants you to really understand the material and concepts. Take good notes, not just what he writes down, but what he says. You need to study a lot for his 3 tests and final (lowest dropped) and do lots of practice probs. Overall if you do all the studying and homework it wont be that hard. Got an A.

after this class i really understand calc 3 and previous calc courses. he wants you to really understand the material and you probably wont until the end but he helps you alot. You should definately read ALL the notes he gives you because its how youll undertsand and get through the class. do ALL the homework, STUDY, pay attention. great professor.

I am math major and almost graduate,what I can tell you about him is:if you can't take him,then there is no great math prof for you in Hunter!He is very nice,knowledge,concerned about what you understand.He makes everything interesting & easy,grading is on students' side,gives you some knowledge for future class;such as, 255, 260, very..recommend!

He has his own way of explaining material that can be very difficult to digest at first, however, keep on solving many-many problems and eventually, you'll get over that stagnating point. Love this class b/c of great grading system, no web assignements, just do what he asks you for and do it timely! He'll see the effort and will work with you!

Calc 1 was easy with him but Calc 2 is a little more intense, so do your homework and make sure to hand-in all the assigned problems (of course, with the right solutions). He knows people who work their brains off! You'll be surprised with the easiness of his exams if you do all assigned problems MANY times! This professor rocks!

Best Prof I've ever had. Hands-down.

This class was easy if you were familiar with the basic premise of calculus. And a great review if you already took calculus 2. He also brings in many interesting topics. HW counts and he takes many of the problems straight out of the HW. He is also very helpful durring class and in the office. He goes through material quickly.

You should be so lucky to have a teacher like Churchill in the math department of a college like Hunter. This man is the real deal. People that think his classes are tough do *not* enjoy mathematics. Churchill FTW.

He is the best math teacher I've had so far. He uses the first half of the class to answer questions and actually go over homework problems, unlike most professors, then uses the other half to lecture. Homework and tests are always graded and handed back the next class, and tests are always curved; he's really fair.

He's a great professor who knows what he is talking about. Just do the "do not hand in problems" and the hand in problems and you will do great on the exams which are curved. Some of the problems on exams come straight from the homework.

this linear algebra class was very hard. the most difficult in my entire college career but was worth it. Churchill is very knowledgeable and a great professor. he grades his tests in a way that it is hard to fail. just memorize the proofs and the definitions and you are guaranteed a 70 on the test. test based on do not hand in and homeworks

Ok so churchill is a great professor. Although his book for linear algebra is TERRIBLE. The text is not for first semester linear algebra students. For some reason he likes it.Do your homework. and to do well on tests study his notes, homework, and the textbook. You can get a C alone on tests just by memorizing proofs and definitions.

Churchill connects with the students and constantly engages with his students. He always gives an opperunity for student to ask question, so take advantage of it, if you are lost. He is also much easier to understand if you go to his office hours. You need a strong will and not be scared off before the midterm. Everything is easier afterward.

Professor Churchill is the best mathematics professor i have ever had. You will be doing yourself a favor if you take his course and are interested in understanding mathematics on a deeper, theoretical level.

I hated calculus before this course because my previous teachers didn't teach. Churchill actually explains everything properly and thoroughly. You can tell he has a strong passion for math because occasionally he gets excited about the topics and rambles but those moments only help clarify the problems you're doing. Highly recommend him.

He OVER- explained if a few students voiced that they were lost. He kept his office hours and welcomed any silly mathematical questions (I asked a few). If you do his homework assignments (he will explained the answers in class) and if you memorize some proofs, you will be fine

Very nice professor. I took him for both calc 150 and 155, and he'd be my first choice for any math course. There's three midterms and one final, he drops the lowest grade. No web-assign, just some do not hand in and hand in problems. Exams are based on the homework he gives. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to actually learn math.

Great professor. Doesn't do a lot of problems,instead he explains the concepts in such a manner that you could solve any problem. There's three midterms and a final. He drops the lowest grade. No web assign,but there are homeworks and they count. The exams are largely based on the homeworks he assigns. Take him if you actually want to learn math.

He is a very generous grader. If you show him signs that you have understood the underlining concept and show some effort regarding the HW and the test he will give you a grade that is even higher than what you deserve.

Churchill is one of the best linear professors out there. He is really respected by students. Be prepared to work hard for this class.

Churchill has to be the best math professor at hunter especially for linear algebra. Linear algebra is very complex and most students have never been introduced to this way of thinking, but churchill breaks down the subject very well and gives clear examples, that make the concepts understandable. Do all the DNHI and all the hand-ins. Ask questions

Professor Churchill didn't just teach me Linear Algebra, he taught me how to do higher mathematics. Because of the foundation Churchill helped me lay in Linear Algebra, I was able to navigate through the rigorous proofs of Analysis and Abstract Algebra with ease. If you're really serious about mathematics, you'll start with Churchill.

Ive had good math professors, Prof. Churchill is the best there is! Ask a lot of questions in the class, participate a lot. Do all the DNHI and homework. His exams are mostly problems he covered in class or from the DNHI. The exams are hard and vector calculus is a very hard subject. You dont need to read the textbook, he explains everything

I love Professor Churchill so much!! It's incredible how much he knows and how easy he makes it all seem. His tests are fair if you listen and do hw. He is always willing to answer questions. He's a very nice man and the little doodles that he draws on the board to accompany his lectures are adorable. Far from impossible to get an A!

Churchill teaches Calculus 3 in great generality and theorems. This can make it harder to follow things since they can be so abstract. He writes his own text (given to us for free) and basically has everything you need. He goes over examples in more detail, so if you are a genius you can get away with not going to class. Would recommend.

Well He says he doesnt curve , but if the class average is low he curves quite a lot and he is inspirational , smart old man. He's humorous and as long as you do the homework and attend lectures you should be fine because atleast 1 problem comes from the Hw problems he gave.

Professor Churchill is a very solid choice for Calculus 2. To do well in the class, complete all the do not hand in homework assignments and hand in homework assignments and understand how to do those problems. Practice additional problems from the textbook, its a good book to study from. Also, he grades in a liberal way that benefits students.

Curved a lot , Very helpful if you stay true towards the course.

Curved a lot. I wish I reviewed more on the topics and did more of the DNHI assignments to properly prepare me for the tests but Oh WeLl.. Honestly though, take this class seriously.. 150 was a Cake-Walk.

Genuinely wants to help you. Will answer questions briefly after class and has office hours - go if you need help. Occasionally humorous. Come to class. Do all the hand-ins and do-not-hand-ins for homework and do them again before exams. If you don't understand, ask and he'll explain. Curves a lot. Definitely passable if you put in the effort.

This prof is by far the most awesome MATH professor I've had in CUNY (MIT material), a real gem at hunter. He's good humored, loves maths, gives you lots of real life examples and brings abstract concept into comprehension. Definitely recommend him for anyone who is willing to learn and also put in the work!!

In my opinion, to get in A in this class, you have to be willing to study as much as possible. Each chapter in the textbook requires about a week of study and his notes are helpful, yet different from the textbook. If you do manage to study 30-40 hours a week, then you will see why Churchill loves this course.

He is the best professor I have ever met ;) Stick to what he says, notes, and homework. It's the math that could kill you, not him. His exam is pretty fair and he curves based on your work written on the sheets.

Best math professor I've ever had. He changed the way I think about math.

i really appreciated churchill's class and how relaxed he is as a teacher. he is clearly a genius, and explains the material well. the math can be hard, and his notes are essential, brilliant, but tiny. they are the key to his course, but almost impossible to read. i would DEFINITELY show up to every class and participate

Hands down the best math professor i've had. The material is tough, but Churchill is very clear on what it takes to be successful in this class: Take good notes, read the textbook, do practice problems outside of the assigned homework, and absolutely brush up on your trigonometry. He is good about breaking down new concepts into simpler parts.

Great math professor, which is a lot considering, there aren't a lot of them. He curves when needed, gives daily homework, and will answer any questions.

You must sit at the front because his handwriting is difficult to read. Curves heavily for exams. You must study a lot and by a lot I mean do every possible question in textbooks or you'll get lost. He's nice and will try and help especially if you participate during class. Use youtube a lot too. Try to avoid if u don't have time to study a lot.

Doesn't use BB. very old-fashioned but nice. His handwriting is hard to understand, but if you ask him right away, he will address it. He grades 10 homeworks and 4 exams (the final is counted twice). He will drop the lowest grade, and curves. Study your definitions for this class because his exams are formatted around memorization and application.
