Reviews of professor Steven Collar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Steven is an interesting guy, and does a pretty solid job of teaching Calculus. You should form a study group to get together before every class to study and do homework. If you sit the front, stay locked in, and participate, you should get atleast a C. Exams are very tricky, but his study sessions are helpful! Always stay ahead of the assignments!

Calc is hard, and his class is not easy. That being said he is extremely willing to help when you ask for it. His class is definitely not one you can skate through but as far as math professors go he's very approachable and the content and homework is doable with effort.

Mr. Collar, in my opinion, is a pretty great professor. He does move kind of fast through material but will slow down and explain things if you actually ask. His tests are designed in a way that aligns with skillset rather than exactly what was noted in lecture, few exceptions on that. In other words, you actually have to practice and work at it.

Professor Collar always made time for questions and made sure no one was confused on a topic. I took calculus in high school so I can see how he could be a hard teacher for someone who didn't. Otherwise, his study sessions are super helpful and the homework is easy. Don't catch yourself procrastinating though it'll catch up.

Won't honor his word about the homework. He says he will make it able to be turned in when you talk to him in person, then he will change it behind your back, and then lie to your face about ever allowing it. Double deals and is dishonest, I strongly reccomend agaisnt this guy.

Worst teacher I have ever had the unpleasant misfortune to meet. First words he said to my class were and I quote, This is not a good class to learn Calculus in. Why teach it then, why am I here wasting my time with this guy. He doesnt know what hes talking about, constantly makes mistakes in lecture, and lies about not allowing calculators.

Steven Collar is by far the worst professor I have had at Miami and I'll be a senior engineering student this year. I scored around the average on every assignment and still ended up with a D+. His exams average around a 55% for my class and he just thought that was the students fault. SO many kids dropped his class. Dont mean to scare but he sucks

I have read some of the other reviews. Many of these people I believe I had class with and many of them did not do the work. Steven was a great teacher and his lectures were awesome. This class is definitely challenging, but you can do it if you put the work in. Tips: Do the homework before the test. It will not be due, but I highly recommend it.
