Reviews of professor James Myer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course itself is pretty hard. James sped through the not so difficult chapters, so we would have more time on the difficult ones and reviews. Attendance is not mandatory. Hard tests, but theyre very similar to his review sheets. Offers an extra credit assignment based on your major. Really cool and down to earth.

He has a different style of teaching where he doesn't follow the book and he does his best to show how topics are derived but everything has a strict method of solving. If you're confused, he will go out of his way to help you. Last topics before both tests were rushed but everything on the exams were on his reviews. Easy quizzes too.

He prepares you well enough to do good on his quizzes and midterm but after the midterm he rushed everything, and you will NOT be ready for the final. He skipped a bunch of important stuff and pretty much half-**sed the material. Try to learn the material through other means. Don't depend entirely on him or you will fail. Other than that, he's ok.

Mayer is one of the best, If not the best Math professor at CCNY. Math professors know their stuff but not always can teach what they know. Myers is really passionate about math and he finds the simples way to get you to understand topics. I took differential equations with him and nothing about it was simple but he made it as simple as possible.

meh! every time he tries to explain something he makes it worse but he is honestly really helpful and is available if you need help. still wouldn't recommend taking him. if you fail the final you WILL fail the class

Professor Myer is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is really passionate about math, every lesson has a motivational problem which makes it interesting. Although his tests are relatively hard and he goes fast through the curriculum, he creates good review guides for his tests and always helpful when ask him questions.

Professor Myer knows his stuff but he can be a hard professor sometimes only because he assumes you know how to do the material after he teaches it to you. However, if you don't understand, he will answer your questions. Do the review for the midterms and final and make sure to practice a lot. Take him if you're strong in math though.

If you are passionate about math you will love James. He explains concepts very well. However, he doesn't provide much practice material. So you are on your own when it comes to studying or getting some practice.

Unless you are good at math and have patience take this class. If not stay away. When writing on board all over the place. The grading for quizzes made no sense. Didn't use the book. Provided the textbook. Only good thing about him. Didn't use it once. Wore the same clothes the whole semester. Only graded on quizzes,midterm and final
