Pros: very engaging teaching style (lots of participation), clearly passionate about the subject, fair grading, good feedback, available thru office hours and email, you don't really need to use the textbook much (homework questions are posted) Cons: nothing big, just be aware that assignments on ELMS are often due at unusual times like noon or 5 pm

If you can take this class with Mike DO IT!!!! He is truly so passionate and willing to help. He is so attentive and willing to do anything so his students are successful. If you understand most of the math from elementary school, this class will be easy. Don't let the first lesson scare you. the base lesson is so hard during the first few lessons, but I promise the class gets easier from there!

Best Math Teacher I've ever had! This class is required for all Education Majors, but if you have any leeway, l highly recommend choosing her! She is so passionate and truly works so hard to make the class as fun and informative as possible. There are 4 exams (3 midterms and a cumulative final) which can seem a bit scary. But there are so many quizzes, homework, and EXTRA CREDIT to get your grade to where you want it!

Great teacher! Loved their teaching style and they always did their best to make sure everyone was understanding the content. Also very flexible with office hours.

She is super nice and really wants to help her students succeed. She is very passionate about the subject matter and answers any questions students may have. She posts a lot of resources to help you understand the material and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. However, sometimes her explanations can be confusing and she says to do a lot of work and explanations for classwork/homework yet not to do so on the exams due to the time constraints.

Professor Kelly is the BEST! She makes the class fun and is always there to help out her students! I'm pretty sure she left UMD, BUT if she ever comes back please take her class you will not regret it!! Everything is straight forward and the content is easy, it's the same stuff you learned in elementary school. 10/10 take this class with her if you can!!

Math212 is the easiest class you will ever take. We go over addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but we learn why we use certain algorithms to solve them. Some of it is interesting, but people tend to fall asleep in her classes because she has a very soothing voice. Not too many projects, but there is a quiz every Friday. The tests can be tricky if you have trouble explaining math.
