Reviews of professor Jeffrey Lyons

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not terrible. Calc II is supposed to be hard and it was, but Lyons makes it possible to pass. It is very important to do all the homework (online) and study well in advance of the exams. Exams are curved and homework is pretty easy. As long as you really stay on top of things, this class is passable.

Nice guy, class did bad on the first test so he let us take it home and redo it an averaged our grades. This is my second time taking this course and I got an A on one of the exams! I've heard some profs are better teachers than him, but he's the best I've had. Online homework for easy points.

Jeff is an exceptionally good professor. Calculus 2 is notorious for being the toughest of all calculus classes, but Jeff made it passable for a lot of us. He does a phenomenal job of doing lots of examples and explaining the process behind it. He is also very open to answering questions and does not judge or criticize. I highly recommend him.

This Professer was very nice and had a positive attitude. His tests seemed to be easier compared to many of the other Calc 2 professers and his grading system was fair. To succeed in this class make sure that you PRACTICE so that when exams arrive you will be prepared. This Professer also drops lowest assignments and curves depending on class avg.

Make sure to come to class, otherwise you'll miss a good chunk of content and will need to put in extra work to catch up. He makes an effort to cover as much content during lectures as possible. Be sure to do the online homework and quizzes for free points. Tests are challenging, but he teaches well, he also has office hours if you need extra help.

Wants students to do well and seems to go out of his way to make sure that students in the class are understanding the required concepts. His practice problems adequately prepare students for the exam, and the homework is always harder than the exams. Worth going to lectures to get his insight.

DO NOT TAKE DR. LYONS. Taught my Calc 1 class at trinity university- basically taught a Calc 1 course at like Calc 2 or 3 level difficulty. I think this is because he has a background teaching purely Calc 2 at other schools. We had 3 midterms in his class and when you seek his help, he basically has no idea how to help you. Avoid him at all costs.

Jeffrey does a good job explaining topics clearly. He speaks in a way where it's easy to understand what he's teaching. He does not have a boring, monotone voice unlike some other professors. I like how he always checks back on us to make sure we understand what's going on.
