Michael Filsinger was such a pleasant surprise! I have never enjoyed a math class and was dreading the idea of college level math. However, this professor went above and beyond to reassure the whole class and build our confidence in the subject. He really instilled in us a practical view of Quantitative Reasoning. I just wish he would teach Stats!

Mr. Filsinger is a character. He wants you to understand the material but I found the class to be outstandingly difficult. If you study and do the homework you should be fine.

He talks about everything but math and its so annoying. You gave to come to class even though y'all don't really do nothing. My MCR class helped me more than he did.

Its easier with the lecture and the MyMath Lab (where all the Homework, excels, and quizzes are). Its a decent amount of homework. You can do a chapter per week on MyMath lab, and still be finished early. Lecture is boring, so try to look interested. Overall, its a easy class. He gives the basics (formulas) in solutions for the equations. Easy A

He is HORRIBLE. He talks about the government, space, submarines, and everything else but math. He doesn't even know how to do his own excel homework. He expects us to know everything and doesn't even teach us. He loves to say "This isn't a regular math class so its better." NO, it is NOT. Don't buy the workbook because you will BARLEY uses it.

Hes so dorky but he really cares about his student and is lenient on due dates!

Michael often talked about the theory on how math works. He would not work examples on the work he was actually teaching. He was not very good at grading either. He often took off points differently for the same mistakes. I taught myself through his class. By far the worst math instructor Ive ever had.

If you have another option, I wouldn't take his class. A lot of group work (not necessarily bad) excel is about 50% of your grade so if you don't know at least the basics, I would stay clear. he doesn't lecture, just expects that you and your group will figure it out. content of the in class worksheets doesn't correlate to the homework or exams.

Professor Filsinger is one of the best math professors I've ever had. I got in his class I left as a confident student confident in my abilities in math. lots of homework so stay up on your assignments and exams. he do give extensions just ask for it. Just come ready to learn and ready to do the work and you'll be fine.
