Reviews of professor Dustin McPhate

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This prof did not enter homework grades or quiz grades all semester. Half of the students including myself were unaware of our grade the whole semester, this made it difficult to q drop if needed. During lectures it was difficult to ask questions in time before he moved on. I do not recommend taking this course with this professor.

I took this class last year and it was when most classes were only online so that's why it wasn't in person. The professor was really nice and understanding. Homework and quizzes were completion grades which really helped me out and helped me learn. I'm now taking math142 and it's much more doable

This class was okay. I already knew all the material from high school so it was easy, but if you arent good a math, take someone else. A lot of people in my class struggled. Hw and quizzes are completion. He rarely responds to emails which was annoying. But Math 140 itself isnt hard if youre decent at math.

I had Mr. McPhate as my TA for MATH 151. He is very knowledgeable on both the course and the accompanying lab work. He is more than happy to answer any questions and is very approachable. Overall a really nice guy.

He is a really good math teacher, but if you miss lecture you will not pass the class. He is very willing to meet outside of class for questions, but he will not teach you anywhere else besides the classroom. There is a quiz or test every week. He is very good at making sure everyone knows what they are doing.

This class is basically a review of all of high school math without any of the calculus stuff. He was fine for me because I am really good at math, but he was not the best at explaining things to people. Good choice if you are pretty solid at math, if you struggle then take someone else.

Overall great teacher. Takes time to go over notes and is available with office hours. If you are good at math his class will be a breeze, but he also has lots of resources if you struggle. Highly recommend!!

Dustin was super cool and a great professor. I am T E R R I B L E at math and his class was a breeze. Tests weren't extremely challenging and HOMEWORK WAS GRADED OFF COMPLETION AND NOT ACCURACY! Take his class if you struggle with math!!!

This guy is one of the worst professors I have ever had. If you understand the concepts already, you'll be fine but if not he does a very poor job explaining them. He also makes no effort to review you for the tests. Overall he was terrible and I would avoid him if you can.

McPhate isnt the best lecturer ever but hes not the worst. Hes a nice enough guy and his lecturers arent too boring. Attendance isnt mandatory but there was a quiz every other day. Homework and tests were a significant part of the grade. He didnt offer any extra credit. If youre bad at math go to 4.0 & Go. Theyre a life saver.
