I hate math, and Rob Roy made this class actually enjoyable. I made a D in my last math class, but I'm set to get an A in this one because he's such a great teacher. He tries to get you to understand the concept of the math, instead of just how to do it. He is very helpful, and very clear. Tests are semi-easy, but he'll go out of his way to help.

He genuinely cares for every student and wants you to pass. Sometimes the homework can be a lot though, but as long as you don't wait until last minute to do it all you'll be okay. He is understanding about late work though. He is one of the best professors at Marshall.

He does not teach! It was so frustrating not only does he just give us homework (and nothing else) but then in class meetings if you have a question he literally says "so how would you guys answer this?" His only redeeming quality is you can turn in late work but even then it takes forever for him to grade it.

Professor Mace is a good option for the course but get ready to work. On average there were 5 homework assignments per week which you teach yourself how to do through the application Knewton. These assignments are lengthy and will take up your time. However, I struggle with math and I have never learned more in a math class. Good choice!

The course is kind of difficult but he's very caring and lenient and will work with you. He will also break down problems for you if you ask him to. I would recommend him to anyone but do know you will have to do a good bit of work in this class.

This teacher is amazing if you don't think you're good at math. He is very easy to email outside of class and responds quickly. If you don't understand a topic in the homework he is more than willing to help you in his office hours. Great teacher and great person.

Put my test in front of the whole class and accused me of cheating. He is CRAZY. One time we spend the entire class going over how to take notes instead of learning. Would literally leave class because he was mad. Not a single day went by that he did not ramble on about us all cheating.

R^2 was amazing, from the first class I could tell he was going to be one of my favorites. He allows extra points through class participation, and is extremely understanding about life events. He let me basically take a week off for my mental health and saved my grade. I'm pretty good at math, but any confusion I had he would answer asap. Love him

He never taught anything during this class. It is all online through a couple of websites. He gets very sidetracked easily and is not very clear when he teaches. I had to practically teach myself the whole semester. Khan Academy and YouTube will be your best friends in his class. I never went to his class besides the first week since it was online.

He was always everywhere and barely talked about assignments. Definitely wasn't a hard class as long as you do your work, but he's horrible about putting grades in. The final project and final exam at the end of the year can make or break your grade. It was supposed to be in person but he didn't care if you went online or didn't come at all.

Rob was an amazing prof, he is so understanding and will help you with absolutely anything, his class does have a lot of work so be prepared for that, but the due dates change and he doesn't dock for late work, he will do anything so you can succeed, one flaw is he is very hard to get ahold of outside of class times but besides that he is amazing.

Be ready to teach yourself, he does not teach you and when you do ask him for help, he answers with riddles. Nice guy and cancels class a ton. Lots of homework on Knewton but easily pass-able if you just do your work and do the practice quizzes because it is identical to tests.

If you aren't good at math, I don't recommend. You have to be able to teach yourself everything. Exams, Knewton homework (you have to pay for it), and participation assignments in class are the only grades. Nice guy, but has an interesting personality. First day of class, and he attempted to relate the origin of math to crows. Cancels class often.

This guy cancels a lot and has homework you have to pay for which sucks, although his class is easy as long as you pay attention. Others say you have to teach yourself a lot but I disagree. Only when he cancels is that true, but even then he will go over it when we are in class next time.

He is a very funny and understanding professor. He goes over anything that someone may have a question about and makes sure everyone knows what they have to do to pass the assignment (all you have to do is pay attention). His grading does not take long at all and most of his work isn't due until the next day during that class time. Very easy class.

He is a very nice professor that is very lenient. He doesn't really teach the lessons he more so just asks for questions and then will elaborate. He does cancel often which I didn't mind. All tests were take home and some were done on computer. He has a great personality. He definitely wants you to pass his class. I would recommend taking him.

Explained to him my learning disability, and my high school math teacher was on meth and didn't teach so I didn't know stuff I should, and asked for help understanding a concept from a reading, and he LAUGHED AT ME. He never explained, literally went silent, and now I'm afraid I'll never understand math. Thanks professor.

He teaches you literally nothing. If ChatGPT can get straight to the point to explain the content then there is an issue. He doesn't explain how to get the answer at all. He comes up with unnecessary situations that have nothing to do with the lesson.

Was a professor who seemed to not truly care about teaching his students. On multiple occasions, he left class after 5 minutes and once left the class stating he would come back after grabbing his drink. He then proceeded to come back to class 40 minutes later with Starbucks. He is a very nice guy and loves to talk but is not willing to teach.

Professor Mace is a nice enough guy, but this class was a joke. It's completely homework based, be doesn't lecture at all, and the tests rarely match up with the homework and what the text said. I like him as a guy, but if you value your sanity and free time, take someone else.

The biggest thing I have to say is he will cancel class A LOT. His lecture consisted of going over the homework assignments in class and making you finish them at home. The exams were in class on paper with no notes. He was willing to stay after class for questions. Not a bad guy, but i had to teach myself most of the material.

He gives lessons talks inside the classroom, about knewton and the activities we would have to do. It is very homework heavy on knewton. But be careful to choose your math professor wisely.
