Professor Geraci is a very helpful professor. His class was 10 weeks and fast pace. Because of this we did a section per day. As long as you do the homework and answer questions you will succeed. He is also very helpful with answering questions and makes it easy for you to get an A or pass his class. But you also have to put in the work.

In this class your grade is based on only tests. They are not multiple choice tests and they usually only consist of 8-15 questions. He does drop the lowest test grade and he does teach the lessons but you need to read the book also. If you are good at tests then this teacher is for you, if not then I suggest looking for a different teacher.

Writing is super small so sit close to the front if your eyes are bad also not very organized when it comes to lectures and will just go on a tangent and its hard to catch back on if you get distracted for a little bit so you have to stay focused.

Amazing professor! He basically begs to give away any help you need. 5 tests (including the final) and drops the lowest grade. Gives very liberal partial credit. Fast-paced class, but it's Calculus 1, and it's supposed to be complicated. He encourages student participation. Your grade reflects the effort you put in!

If you struggle with math stay away from this teacher. Lectures were heavy and difficult to follow and all hand-written. There was also a lot of homework. The test reviews were general and nothing like the actual test. He does not give you refreshers on topics from previous math classes that factor into calc one. He tells you to go look it up.

He was to the point and transparent about his class. He is the type of professor that treats the class how you treat him. If you attend he will curve your test but if you miss many classes he doesn't care to help you.

This is an online class, so he says he has no say over the grading policy and does not make the tests. It was a difficult class, however, he will see you in his online Zoom anytime you want and as often as you need! Super helpful!

Calc was a difficult class, but he was a pretty good prof for it. I would say he involved trig identities more than other professors might have, and that made his class pretty difficult for me. The exams were okay, though, and the homework helped. I didn't expect him to curve the final grade. He was very friendly and caring.

I actually know nothing about him. The class was not interactive at all and the software took care of the rest. Informative videos and a good textbook make this class an absolutely self-taught unsupported course. If you are not an intrinsically motivated student, do not take this class.

I took this course online, and math is already a difficult subject for me, but Professor Geraci helped me and encouraged me to try my best on the exams. Very nice teacher and i would take his class again! There is a lot of homework though and labs but that is expected in a college course.

The tests are difficult but way easier than the homework so if you make sure you know the homework you should do really well on the tests. With that being said your grade is all exams. Save all the exams and study them for the finals because the final is exactly like the previous tests. You can come to anything and he will help you with it too.

This class can be really difficult if math is not a strong subject for you. The tests are not multiple choice and if you do badly on the tests there is no extra credit. The teacher was very nice and encouraged you to do well on the tests. If you want to do well in this class you have to study a little bit every day.

Calc can be tough, but Professor G is understanding. Tests are the main grades, with the lowest one dropped. Engaging in the lectures and using resources like unstuck ai for practice helps. Definitely worth taking if you put in the effort.

Professor Geraci was very attentive and quick to answer any questions I had. If you struggle with math, I recommend taking the class in person to get more direct support. Overall, he's an excellent professor, but be prepared to invest extra time and effort into the course to succeed. Grades were curved, which helped me go from a low B to an A.

Sanford Geraci is a great math professor. He doesn't grade homework so ensure that you focus on the tests including the final (He drops the lowest grade). I got C because I was always sleeping in class and wasn't practicing like I should. He goes through practice examples in class so pay attention. PowerPoint notes are available in D2L also.

SO MANY TEST, & HE USES HONORLOCK! I took the mac1105c which is 5 credits, I expected a heavy workload but this class was insane, he would give you 2 alesk each week plus 2/3 proctored tests monthly and discussions. I had about 5 assignments each week with him! is an online class so all he posted was YouTube videos that weren't his. learned nothing

I would not recommend Professor Geraci if you're not a quick learner or good with math. I did tutoring every week and watched a lot of videos to pass the course. He could be rude to students at times and although accessible for office hours, he "does not reteach lectures" even if there was a sub that was difficult to understand.

You would think that he got his degree using AI, but he's been teaching longer than most of us have been alive. The amount of mistakes he would make during lectures is baffling and routinely confused everyone. Your only graded on tests (5) and the final. All of the hw is combined into one test grade. He drops your lowest.

Not a good lecturer if you're weak in math (I am). He tended to bounce all over the place and taught us like we knew calculus. In hindsight, I should've reviewed the coursework before the class. I completely guessed my way through his tests and somehow landed with a B. They were all multiple choice and some were curved.

Good if you're going into STEM; very rigorous proofs, applications, conceptuality and interconnectivity. Few tests (most curved), messy lectures, easy to pass if you study on your own. If you can't focus and keep up for 2 hours, you WILL end up learning everything on your own. If this sounds like you, DO NOT TAKE HIM.
