Steven is a great teacher if you come to class and take good notes. The tests are just problems from class with different numbers. WileyPlus is pretty easy and helps boost your grade. If you put in a good amount of effort, there is no reason that you won't do well in this class.

Derochers was a good professor for math 122. he was lecture heavy but always stopped and asked if people had questioms but would continue if no one spoke up. So if you do have questions speak up! Tests were fairly easy, he gives credit with work shown. tests are just like the warmups he gives in class

I have never had a better professor in my life. I had to retake math and I finally got a grip when I entered his class. Yes his hw is rough but if you pay attention in lectures you will understand Calc.

Dr. Derochers is a very nice guy. His lectures were pretty heavy and he may not be the best at explaining things, however his test were just like the warm up problems and in class examples. He gives lots of partial credit with shown work. I would recommend visiting him during office hours, if he sees that your actually trying he will be fair to you

Although the topic isn't that interesting, he makes the class not that bad. He is very open to outside help and works well during office hours, which I utilized frequently. In class, he runs through the topics fairly quickly but will slow if asked. Wiley is the most abominable homework portal I have ever had the unfortunate circumstance of using.

I think Steven is a great teacher. It's a really hard subject but he takes you through every step and does lots of examples. He really wants to make sure you understand the material. Do the homework and take notes and you'll be fine

Derochers is the best calc professor I've ever had. He's so caring, & asks "is that okay with everyone" after every few minutes of lecture to make sure people are understanding everything. He gives partial credit and scales every test so it's really not hard to do well. Theres a lot of homework but its doable, & the tests are way easier than the hw

Professor Derochers is the best math professor I've ever had!! Calc II is pretty abstract math and if you're good at regular calc it's still pretty hard. He really does want you succeed in this class and does the best with the material he has to teach. If you care about your grade, you can achieve a good grade. Highly recommend if it's required.

TAKE HIM! Professor Derochers is easily the best math teacher Ive ever had. Math 142 is still full of hard concept but he presents them in a way that makes them far less confusing. He also offers some extra credit if you want to work for it. Cant recommend his class enough.

Good professor. He goes into a lot of detail on easy topics. Class is boring but an easy A if you do the online homework.

Derochers knows a lot about the subject he is teaching, and explains it in his lectures in a way that makes them easy to understand. If you copy and study exactly what he writes on the board, you'll likely do great.

Nice guy and a good instructor. HW can be a lot sometimes but its good practice for the exams. Definitely take him if you can.

A lot of the reviews are very subjective. Derochers has the most office hours then all the other professors. He frequently stops to ask for questions. He has a PhD in mathematics and due to the amount of material need to cover, he flies through chapters. His notes are good. The homework sucks. If you are looking for an easy class, go elsewhere.

Kinda goofy but demonstrates a clear understanding of the topic and truly cares about his work and the students.

The class itself was hard, but that's just calculus. Steven is a good choice for prof, he goes out of his way to make sure everyone has an opportunity to get more help or ask questions. His lectures are kinda boring, but you have to go if you want to pass. Tests and quizzes depend on how well you know the material. Lots of homework.

This guy is super good. He is very nice and explains things very well. There is a lot of material for this class but that is true no matter the instructor. If you don't understand just ask and he is always willing to help. He also provides a lot of online resources to help if needed.

Tests make up most of the grade. Weekly homeworks take a while. Hes a good guy and good at teaching

Dr. Derochers was very helpful and flexible during office hours. He uses every second of class time and you will speed through the material, but as long as you copy down what he is writing, you will have good notes. There is a good chunk of homework, but it is done with MyMathLab and not very difficult. Without him I probably would not have passed.

Dr. Derochers Is the best math teacher I have ever had. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone understands the topics. He shows tons of passion for math and teaching in general. Super reasonable and accessible outside of class. Calc is super hard but he makes it bearable. If you like math jokes he's the professor for you.

He really cares about his students & whether or not we understand his lectures. I took calc in high school so it might've been easier for me but even if you're having a hard time he is there/wants to help. The homework is pretty long so start it a few days early. He is understanding of students registered w the SDRC and extends deadlines if needed.

A really great professor! He assigns a good bit of homework due weekly but it is not bad if you do not procrastinate! Really nice guy.

Does a really good job of trying to make sure that anyone voices any questions that they have as well as trying to get people to engage. He moves through material really quick which can be a struggle, but he's easy to talk to and can help clarify a lot of things.

Derochers is super nice and always tries to make sure everyone understands the material. Its a tough class but he does well teaching it. He can be a tough grader but he also makes sure to give good feedback. The online homework assignments can be time consuming but they help a lot. Overall a really great professor!

I love Dr. Derochers by far one of the best professors and am now taking him for Calc 2 with no regrets. Realistic about homework/quizzes/exams. Curves on exams, open note quizzes and endless atmp homework till you get a 100. With that being said he'll definitely make you work for a good grade but his main goal is making sure students are learning.

Dr. Derochers is a very good professor. His class is difficult but I would rather have him than any other professor. He curves exams! Hes super funny and quirky. I enjoy his class even though its hard, boring calculus lectures. Had him for calc 1 & 2. Didnt get the best grades but I managed to get the pre-req score both times.

Derochers is Great! Goes over everything in solid detail, and even reviews Calc I and II concepts in class when they are relevant to the current material. Can't miss a single lecture tho, you will fall behind. The class is challenging he's helpful if you reach out. Also, study hard for the first exam, It'll be harder than you think.

Derochers is a great professor! There are no surprises on Exams- everything is straight from examples done in class. The homework is a lot harder than the quizzes and exams, so don't be stressed if you don't understand it. He is really easy to reach. He is not the most efficient with time but he really cares about students and will be helpful.

Dr. Derochers is a great professor. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed, however he has trouble gauging difficulty when writing exams. He does make up for this by giving a curve on every exam students do poorly on, and he gives a little extra credit. This class is VERY hard and very exam weighted though.

Derochers was a good professor. He always started the class asking if we learned something new and he definitely cares about his students. The only downside is he tends to skip over things if no one speaks up and his homework's are really friggin' hard. I definitely recommend him, but don't be afraid to talk if you do not understand something.

If you took Calculus, odds are you took it with Derochers at least once. His lectures are very down-to-earth and easily understandable, even in Vector Calc. Homework is a lot, but not nearly as bad as quizzes and exams. He always asks us if we've learned anything new or interesting every class period, which was always a delight!

Derochers does an amazing job at breaking down everything (including the theory and why he does things) and making it understandable through tangible examples. One of the best teachers I've had. Calculus II is a difficult course, but he makes the content digestible and provides all the materials you need to be successful. Study and you'll pass!

He is the best Calc teacher that I have ever had. He makes the lectures very easy to follow along the content. The homework is very unrelated to anything in the class and is difficult but done online. Wish he would do more practice problems in class rather then proofs or things we wont need. Also, doesn't post notes so go to class or make friends.

Prof Derochers is a very quirky guy and will keep you entertained in his class. I slacked off in the beginning and it was very hard to catch up in the end, so I highly recommend going to SI and review sessions to help you understand the material better. Homework takes a bit, but he gives you an entire week to do them with it being due on Tuesdays.

His lectures were amazing and he was usually helpful, nice, and knowledgeable. Tests and quizzes were difficult but followed the outlines exactly and all the material was taught in the lectures. Homework every week but it is usually quick and straightforward. If you take 241, especially as a prerequisite, take him!

I was terrified for calc but he made it easy. Broke down the theories in to understandable concepts. There was a lot of homework, so be prepared to have good time management. Tests tended to be based off warm-up questions and examples in class, so take good notes. I would take again for Calc 2, great guy and great teacher

Professor Derochers is a nice guy who explains topics well. Lectures were pretty boring, but he makes sure everyone understands all the material before moving on, which helped students grasp concepts easier. The tests are very difficult, and there is lots of homework, but he curves the tests, so do your work, and you should get at least a B.

I loved Dr. Derochers. He does tons of examples during lectures that match what he puts on the exams. He is also very good at answering any of your questions during class. He is a hard grader on tests and cares a lot about notation.

Dr. Derochers is great. I would highly recommend him for Calc 1! Lectures are easy to follow and he genuinely cares about his students. There is lots of homework but its manageable if you stay on top of it.

Derochers is a lovely math professor who is good at explaining anything you may be stuck on, he cares for his students and will always be willing to help.

Derochers is a great professor! He writes out every single step no matter how small on the board to every problem which I appreciate. If you don't understand something, simply speak up and he is more than happy to help. As someone who has struggled with math their entire life, Derochers has made it very easy for me to learn and actually enjoy math.

Excellent Vector instructor, made it very clear what would be expected on exams, prepared you with exam review sessions outside of class time, homework tended to be a bit much but not the worst I've had. Very charismatic and caring instructor. Class examples and quizzes will more than prepare you for exams.

Derochers really cares about his students, but the homework can be a lot/take a while, and when there is an exam it's due on Saturday. His exams aren't bad as long as you take good notes and go to or watch his review sessions. He also does not post his notes, so make a friend in there if you're going to miss class.

I think he was a good teacher, he explained everything well, and offered other ways to think about the material if we didn't understand the first way

This class is fairly easy if you put effort into it. Most classes covers new material and there is very little classwork. Pay attention to warm-up questions which are very similar to the questions seen on exams. Derochers is a very approachable guy who really knows his stuff and is willing to help you. Just practice outside of class a bit.

Great teacher, he gives a lot of notes. Like a lot. He does example problems in class that heavily reflect the exam questions. If you pay attention in class you will do great on exam. It can be boring if nobody is active in class. Homework is brief but do not let it catch up on you. He tells you about pop quizzes before hand as well.

His notes are clear, and his exams are exact copies of his notes - super easy. He was always super willing to help and goes slow through the content, which helped me. My biggest problem is the homework subscription service he used, I'd waste hours on problems then go to his office hours and be told "oh it's okay dw about it."

If I can get Derochers for the rest of my math classes in college I absolutely will. He has great lectures, the homework is a bit tough, but that's because it is Pearson, which is hard to use in general for all subjects. I would suggest if you are going to take a Calculus course, take the one with Derochers.

This is the second class I have taken with him, and I hope to take more in the future. The homework can be a bit much, and different from what we learn in class but you can redo it multiple times. The exams are short and we did a lot of similar examples in class so it is easy to prepare for them. Definitely take him!

Honestly good teacher overall. His lectures are long and he explains everything in detail so it's pretty understandable. The tests are copies of the warm-up problems, so if you just practice the types of problems in class, you can get an A. The homework takes a LONG TIME, but it's possible to get a 100 if you put in the work.

Good professor. 1-2 quizzes before each exam that are open notes and helpful for getting feedback. Does review sessions and is good at explaining concepts. Lots of homework on Pearson that doesn't always seem exactly like what we do in class but is somewhat helpful. Final exam grade can count for worst exam grade. Nice and cares, I recommend.

I personally enjoyed his class. There are three exams, and a final. Lots of homework through My Math Lab but if you keep up with it, it's really not bad. takes attendance every class. Warm up questions and examples in class are very similar to exam questions, normally you can kind of tell what is going to be on the exams.

attendance isn't mandatory, you won't pass if you don't attend. He uses Pearson for math homework, but you're given an entire week to do 4-5 assignments. He seems like a guy that just really enjoys math + understands it very well. He will answer any questions you have very clearly and will do extra examples if the class doesn't understand.

I loved his teaching style. Tests were hard, but if you attend the lectures and take the time to study, you'll be fine.

I took Dr. Derochers for 115 and 141. He made my least favorite subject bearable, and even enjoyable. I was very sad to not be able to take him for 142.

He is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. His lectures are engaging and simple. I feel like I have a deeper understanding of the subject every time I leave his class. He is a tough but fair grader and is very concerned with the success of his students.

He writes all material on a white board in class and does not post notes so you have to show up to class. If you go to his office hours he is more than willing to help you understand the material and is very kind. The homework does not match the tests and there a lot of it. He curved low scoring tests.

Dr. Derochers is the best math teacher I've had at this university. He writes a lot on the whiteboard, so it's easy to follow along with instruction and examples. Homework (unlimited attempts) is a lot harder than tests, but tests are simple and very similar to quizzes. Really cares about students. I highly recommend him for honors MATH 242.

Go to class and take good notes. he assignes a lot of hw but it helps to learn the subject well. His exams aren't that hard if you study and he is a very nice grader giving a lot of extra credit for showing work. He gives the exams back which is very helpful for studying for the final.

he's honestly a good teacher and actually takes the time to help you, but the class requires you to pay attention to each and every part because if you miss something it will snowball. Also I failed 2 exams and failed the class but I probably could've tried harder

He's a very understanding guy, pushing back test dates as needed for students because he wanted to make sure we knew all the material we needed to. Very approachable and he does one out-of-class session before each exam that sums up what is on each test really well. He knows his stuff really well. I'd gladly have him again.
