Greatest teacher ever man!!! you gotta take him.. His explanations on examples are extremely helpful which plays major role having a sucessful class.His attitude is very nice towards students. I"m always looking forward to his class.

OK teacher, although makes the rather simple problems go through pointless titieous steps, when you can just use a shortcut.tests and quizes are straightfoward no tricks or anything and basically tells you what is going to be on them

He uses different colors in class to show his exact steps in solving equations/etc, which is very helpful to see. calc 1 is pretty easy with him, and he drops your worst test AND quiz grade at the end of the quarter. Grades quickly and is always available for help

He is a good teacher, sometimes reluctant to answer dumb questions (he does this subtly though, it is not rude). I pretty much stopped doing the homework and I am going to get an A in this class. Not the best, but just fine for these lower calc levels. Pay attention in class and you will do fine, he pretty much gives you the test the day before.

This math class was my first math class in 6 years, so I had a rough start in the beginning. It took me a while to figure out my key to success in this class. My suggestion is to do both the strongly suggested&extra problems. Know how to use your calculator because he uses it ALOT & how to graph things although he does not assign graphing on hwks.

Mr. Kearney is a great professor. He has many awards and recognition for math in foreign countries. Unlike many people in the math field he is sympathetic to other's problems w/ it. Take him!Book needed for practice not class. Color codes the steps on the board to make it easier on the eyes and more clear.Willing to help students whenever possible.

Mr. Kearney is a great math professor. Gredes are based off of tests and quizzes; however he drops your lowest quiz score and lowest test score. Homework is not required, but it helps a lot if you do it. Lectures are given in class daily; they are easy to understand, and if you ever have a question, Mr. Kearney will gladly do a few example problems

He's a GREAT teacher! He loves to color code so it's really helpful when you're jotting down notes. He's VERY thorough and he goes over hw questions. He makes practice tests that are just like the tests so you are never thrown off on the day of the test. He's very approachable, laid back, and nice. TAKE HIS CLASS! You won't regret it.

He takes random points off of tests and often doesn't let you know why. His lectures are EXTREMELY boring and his method of color-coding takes way too long. Those 50 minutes each day felt like hours. However, the notes from his lectures were helpful when doing the homework and he tells you exactly what'll be on each quiz and test the day before.

Don't know why people are saying Kearney's a bad prof. He explained everything pretty well in class, but the textbook was really helpful because I hadn't taken Pre-Calculus but still went with Calculus I. I really appreciated that the homework was not mandatory, but helped immensely with my understanding of the material.

Kearney was great! Best math prof I've had at BC so far. He is a cross the t's dot the i's kind of person with his lectures which I found to be extremely helpful. His personality is also really funny and he has some interesting stories. I'd definitely take another course of his!

This guy was a joke. He took off random stuff on quizzes and tests for ALOT of points! Although he was very clear in his lecutres,however many times, his lectures skipped ALOT in the homework and in the book, so when you go to do the hw, you get lost. I wasn't too hpy with him.

Definitely has a different personality but is very clear in his lectures. No homework, just quizzes and tests. They usually follow his lectures accordingly but occasionally he throws in curveballs. The tests are usually harder than the quizzes.

Best math professor at BC. He is super clear and very straight to the point. His tests and quizzes are tough but doable. He also loves to answer questions and walk you step by step through problems.

Kearney is extremely intelligent, he knows what he's talking about and will make you a better mathematician no matter what. Your algebra skills by the end of his class will be amazing. He's very approachable and will help you. However, he does grade rather hard. Make sure everything is PERFECT. I'm taking him for 152, he's a good prof. Take him!

The tests were slightly harder than the practice tests, but he reviewed a lot right before tests. He often made mistakes when doing examples in class and he didn't proof read his tests/practice tests. I often wasted my time trying to figure out if I was wrong or if he was. He always gave us good class notes but I wouldn't take his class again.

Tim is a good teacher, but a terrible grader. If you're used to being an A student in math you might not be as lucky in this class. Make sure you re-count all your points when you get a test back and ask where your points went, he tends to make small mistakes (even in class) but is open to correcting them. Make sure to attend, textbook is horrible.

I had Tim for 151 and 152, he's an amazing teacher. He will help you out and he does want you to succeed. He is a hard grader, but I got an A- in 151 and an A in 152 with him so it's not impossible. When he posts the answer keys, study them religiously. You'll see how he wants your tests to look. Take Kearney, he'll make you a better mathematician.

Very good teacher, would recommend to those taking Math at BC. Posts a large amount of material on the course website. My only warning is to make sure that you have all the material down perfect before you walk into a test, as he will take large amounts of points off for small mistakes.

Mr. Kearney is a good professor, very personable. I would recommend him for calculus to anyone at BC. When you first start his class it takes a little time to adjust: very picky with notation/work on exams, and a bit bland at times. He is very straight forward with his expectations. Study the practice exams and you'll do great!

He is very picky on tests, and takes points off for random reasons. His class usually gets really boring, but he will tell you what's on the test before and will also do a review, which I found helpful. His teaching style might not be as exciting, nor his grading always fair, but if all you want is to understand basic concepts, you should take him.

Like others have said, he can take a little time to get used to. Always felt like I was going in blind to the quiz, but he does practice tests before the exams which make them cake. I learned a lot more than I expected to in this course. Makes a lot of tiny mistakes in class and can be a picky grader. Contest your points and he usually gives in.

Great prof, he writes super clear notes, teaches how to use your calculator to check your answers. Tests are fair, and I am now in 142, and kicking butt, thanks to his calculator methods

Best math teacher I've ever had. Just pay attention and take good notes of his lectures. He has been teaching a long time and knows his stuff. He shows you how to take advantage of the calculator. I got a 4.0 without much effort. Just apply yourself and listen.

Homework and attendance are not required for this class.The grade is 30% quizzes 40% tests and 30% final. He does drop the lowest test and quiz scores. His lectures are clear, he writes everything on the bored and explains as he goes. He expects you to know Algebra and Precalc skills but will do a brief overview if someone is lost. Would recommend.

This teacher is super nice, super easy grader and it is a super fun class. He is the best math teacher I have ever had, he changed the way I live my life. This class changed my life.

This teacher is the best teacher at BC. He knows how to teach, and any student is lucky to have Tim as a teacher. He made this class super easy, and it was super easy to follow and the tests were easy enough where you could ace them. I have never been good in math, but Tim made it so I could pass this class with an A.

He is probably the best teacher at BC.

honestly such a good teacher. he has a really good structure to his lecture- he gives the objective and then does a ton of practice problems right after. also on the day of a quiz or test, he will review with you first before you take it which really really helps! no homework and he offers a ton of extra credit!

honestly a good teacher. his lectures are straightforward- he teaches you the topic and then does a ton of examples after. also he studies with you right before a quiz or test that SAME DAY he's giving it, like goes over EVERYTHING so the info is still fresh in your head when he gives you the test or quiz.

Tim is a good teacher. He makes it very easy to learn the material. I literally didn't do a homework problem outside class beyond test review. Gives tons of examples and all but gives you the questions he asks on the tests and quizzes. Always a review day before either a test or a quiz. You feel very comfortable asking questions. Take his class

Not the best. not the worst!

Tim is a nice teacher. This class is easy to get an A. He gives us two drops, if you do not do great on your quiz and test, you can drop it. Nice teacher ever!

Tim is a very nice professor. We don't have midterm, and it's easy to get A.

I understand peoples complaints about this professor. However, if you show up to class, make sure you understand how to do the problems, then the test will be easy. He always goes over the content of test before hand, however you must show up for lectures. If you skip or rely on book, the test will be confusing, and that determines your whole grade

He is the best professor ever. Just go to class, write down his examples & you'll be good to go for his exams. He is a brillant professor who cars about his students. He also color codes his examples which makes it easy to follow. By far the best math professor ever!

Tim is a very good guy and very personable. He likes to chat with his students. He is a very experienced teacher and knows his stuff, he messes up often but he fixes his mistakes. I would definitely take Tim again.

Takes a day to explain a new concept, spends several days running examples on the concept, tests on the concept. Pretty straightforward. Don't miss those explanation days! Inadvertently can get dismissive so don't get shaken; ask him specific questions: Don't say "#4" say "on #4 where did you get 2Pi/3?" Be vocal! And MEMORIZE THE UNIT CIRCLE!

Kearney moves slow (which is good) & loves to tell stories. Quiz's and exams are the only things graded. lowest score of one quiz & one test are dropped. Homework isn't mandatory & the practice packets are exactly what to expect on tests and quiz's, just with different numbers. Tough grader; one problem on a test could be 30 pts, u must be thorough

I honestly don't understand all the bad reviews for Tim. He's the nicest man I've ever met and his teaching style is so easy to understand. He gives clear and concise examples for every possible problem. You have to be very thorough on the tests, and not make silly mistakes otherwise you get docked points. But thats not necessarily bad imho.

He is the nicest teacher. I took his math 141 and 151. when everyone got bad scores on exam1. he changed the assignment score from 2 to 10. the assignments are really easy, everyone could get full credit. so we can improve our overall grade. I got 93 when I suppose to get 89. also he will drop one quiz and one exam.

Mr Kearney is a great math teacher. He is very helpful and friendly outside of class. People may comment on his mistakes that he makes during lectures, but he always catches them. They are helpful in a way, keeps u engaged. Quiz and test reviews are super helpful. Ask questions, speak up , do your work , and you'll be fine

Professor Kearney is an amazing math teacher. His teaching style helped me learn easily and quickly. There are 4 quizzes and 3 tests, one of each are dropped. There is online homework but it is optional. As for the quizzes and tests, he makes study guides that show you exactly what will be on the quiz or test. Overall a great teacher!

Great Math teacher, unique and funny personality. There are drops for quizzes and tests. Test and quizzes reviews are also given out.

Tim was a great teacher! He was very clear about what to expect, always willing to answer questions and meet during his office hours, and very humble about his mistakes. By the end of the quarter, I felt like I really understood the content, and with the extra credit, I ended up with an A in the class! I would definitely take him again .

absolutely loved Sir Tim! I'm sad he isn't teaching math 142 next quarter, he is very nice and tests are very very similar to practice tests. talks pretty fast in class, but if you do the MyMath Lab homework it'll be a breeze, even though the homework is optional. gives extra credit problems on tests which is great for your grade!! recommend 10/10

If you suffer from anxiety prior to CALC tests, he is the best teacher for you! He gives prep tests and quizzes and it helps a lot. Do the prep work and the homework and you will get a good grade. Also, he is a really nice teacher!

I learned a lot with him. You do have to do homework, but his tests and quizzes are not long at all. He provides you with pre-quizzes and pre-tests that prepare you for the real ones. He teaches you a lot about testing your answers in the calculator. He may mistakes in class, but you get used to follow him and pay close attention to his lectures

He gives out practice quizzes and tests which are exactly like the actual quiz/test. Easy class if you do the practice stuff and look at his answer keys.

Tim was one of the best math teachers I've had. He gives lots of examples in class, which really helped me learn. He is a tough grader, but I got used to his grading really quick. He also drops the lowest quiz grade AND lowest test grade, and gives practice tests/quizzes that are almost identical to the tests, so he sets you up for success.

I don't understand all those negative reviews. Tim is awesome, caring and tells you exactly what you need to know. He goes through all examples slowly, color codes everything, his practice tests are very similar to the actual ones. I think students that complain about him are just not ready for college. I'd love to take his class again.

He gives you practice quiz/exam, which is exactly the same as real ones. Also, on his practice problem, he tells you what is going to be on the test. This makes it super easy to pass the class. So, DO THE PRACTICE TEST! The homework is super easy, you will get 100%. However, he is tough grader on quiz and test. And FREE online "textbook" given.

Tim does his job well. He shows us, explains Calculus in understandable terminology, and provides tests/quizzes that are reasonable. He doesn't surprise you with anything which is super nice. He may not be the most involved, but his teaching style is clear and effective. If you do the homework and practice, you will get an A. He grows on you.

I have taken Calculus 2 before and failed because the teacher could not explain well enough and I believe was not fair. Mr. Kearney is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. HIs tests and quizzes are exactly like how he teaches the problems in class. He does grade tough, but this is because he makes it easy. He is great.

Students that are naturally good at math will do very well in this class. If you struggle, you will need to use the book/youtube to master all of the concepts in addition to showing up to every class and doing all the homework on time.

Sir Tim is a great guy, but an ok math teacher. His analogies are priceless and will likely stay in my head for the rest of my college years. However, his class is based around self-sufficiency. If you can teach yourself a topic that he can't teach you, then you're golden. WAMAP is super useless and textbook work is non-existant.

Mr. Kearney is an amazing professor. His lectures can get a little bit confusing in the beginning but he always elaborates and does many example questions and then it's easy to pick up on the concepts. There is barely any homework and the quizzes/tests are almost exact copies of the study guide. He's definitely one of the stronger math profs at BC.

I took Tim's class in Winter 2018. I have learning disabilities, so the slow pace of his lectures was an absolute gift. He tells details and anecdotes that were great for me; they put concepts into context and kept my attention. Lots of homework, and lots of help!! Always happy to open his office. He's lovely to work with on DRC accommodations.

Taking Tim as my Calculus I professor as a college freshman didn't give me a whole lot to work with as far as experience. But after almost a whole quarter completed with him I can say that he does a pretty solid job as far as online learning goes. I feel that if it were to be in an actual classroom environment the lectures would be more bearable.

Tim is super nice. When I needed help he was totally available to call me on zoom which was super helpful! You may have to teach yourself some topics but his grading is fair and willing to accommodate to you!

As long as you get familiar with homework, quizzes, and tests for each chapter you should be ok with learning things and getting a good grade.

Tim was my first Math professor at BC. His 151 class was really easy and understandable. He is a very caring teacher and would literally give you free points or some way to get back the points you loosed through some HW. He gives a lot of extra credits and is always on the students side.

He is a good teacher, he does make some mistakes in his lectures but overall gives you everything you need to pass the class. If you need help he is always accessible during office hours or by appointment. He gives hw with a lot of questions as well as practice quizzes/tests that reflect the test. If you do the work and ask questions its an easy A.

BEST MATH PROF EVER he simplified hard topics and made it super easy to understand. Gives a ton of calculator tips & tricks. Quizzes, 3 tests, 1 final exam Super easy homework due on test day. Gives practice quizzes, tests and exam and then makes that the real thing. Gives details about what will be on the test. Can redo some qs on the test TAKEHIM

Sir Tim was one of the best math teachers I've had in a LONG time! I was nervous as a high school student taking a college course but Sir Tim made the class as easy as possible and maintained a kind composure while we worked online. I wish we had class in person cause I can tell he would've been awesome in person!

Really clear instruction and textbook website based. The homework and optional test reviews precisely reflect the assessments, so its a pretty easy A- I had a few lazy moments, so I skipped a couple of homework assignments, but it doesnt hurt your grade as long as you ace the tests/quizzes. He drops your lowest test and quiz grade, which is nice!

I think Professor Kearney was amazing. I have never enjoyed a math class quite like I enjoyed taking his class. He explains the concepts clearly, and then shows examples on how to do them. Then before each test, he gives out a practice packet that is pretty much exactly the same as the upcoming test, just the numbers are different.

As someone who isn't a strong math student I appreciate that Tim teaches math in a consistent way. He gives out practice quizzes and tests that are a good preview of what to expect, and it all matches up nicely on the quizzes, and tests. He generously allows students to drop, one quiz, one test, and four homework assignments from their final grades

I've taken his classes twice now, and I like how calm the environment is. It's simple, if you do the homework, practice tests/quizzes, and study an additional 4-5 hours a week you'll pass his class. One thing is he's a really harsh grader, he'll take off points for the smallest things so be careful of that. Besides that, great professor!

When selecting a math class, having a good professor completes half of the job. Sir Tim (he got knighted), was THE BEST professor I have ever had. he made math fun and enjoyable. he was such a calm but straight to the point teacher, with amazing lectures and examples. the tests are pretty easy since he gives a practice test very similar to the test

I loved Sir Tim. I have never done this well in a math class until I had him. He is an older guy, so his teaching style isn't for everyone, but I think simple is better when it comes to math! GO TO OFFICE HRS because he is willing to give you all of his attention and has had such a cool life.

Tim was clear and consistent with his lectures and expectations. The class was organized and straightforward, and you're allowed to drop your lowest quiz, test, and homework grade.

Easy class if you study the practice tests! Drops lowest homeworks, quiz, test. All quizzes and tests are directly from the given practice problems. Homework is all due the night before the test. There is extra credit on tests.

The class has a specific structure, but with engagement it can work well. Textbooks and homework are key - using unstuck ai alongside other study aids like ChatGPT really helped me stay on top of the material. Overall, an organized course if you put in the effort.

Prof Kearney is a great professor, goes at a good pace, and is very clear with what will be on tests and quizzes. Do the study guides he makes! He takes the questions on the practice quizzes and tests, and those are the questions on the exams. He sometimes shares stories either relating to math concepts or just sharing about his life.

Professor Tim is a solid teacher. He doesn't have the greatest mood at times but he will explain things pretty well. He has 3 tests and 4 quizzes plus final but he drops the lowest score for each. The best thing about Tim is that he has the best review worksheets. As long as you can get down his review worksheets before the tests you will do well

Def not the best professor I've had, but, his lectures were adequate/straightforward. I'd say it helped improve my understanding to a significant degree. He's a niceish dude. VERY strict with grading exams. His exam preparation material is elite though, and if you do that, you'll ace the exams. Your math grammar has to be perfect or you lose points

This professor honestly was the best I've ever had in math. If you prefer a more independent, chill class, this is definitely it. Not only does he not require attendance, it's always very clear what material will appear on exams, making it easy to study at home. His tests are forgiving because he always offers a page of extra credit at the back.
