Spring 2019 - MAC2233

Everyone will tell you that Calc is extremely hard. They will also tell you about the scaring passing rate. It is a challenging class but I created a system since the beggining of the course in order to make sure I wouldn’t struggle. Many students in the course including myself would meet 1-2 weeks prior to every exam to work on homeworks, reviews, and practice tests together. This helped all of us and we all saw our progress in the class as we were consistent with our meeting dates. I can even say it was fun to bond with many of my classmates as we would all face the struggles of the class. Go to class, do all your hws and quizzes, and create a group and meet weeks prior to the test. Teaching and learning from other students allowed me to really understand everything instead of just memorizing the information. Good luck!

This is a very easy class if you pay attention to the class and what the professor says. The trick is to do all the homeworks so that you solve problems by yourself and you can solve your doubts in class. It requires dedication but at the end you will see that you get the result you wanted.

In order to pass make sure you understand all sections and complete all HW and quizzes. Attend every class and prepare and study for each test.

Hi guys, this is not an easy class, but if you do all the homework and attend every class (just like I did) you will pass the class. I got an A in this class without doing anything out of the ordinary. Just study before tests and don't miss any classes, as it is easy to fall behind. Best of luck!

Students should go to every class and take lots of notes. Professor explains everything well and writes it all down, if you don’t know how to do a homework problem or have a doubt, don’t hesitate to email him or go to his office hours. Also, if you have a quick question you can ask him after class and he will help you. Make sure you understand everything and if you don’t, ask the professor. Also, for tests and quizzes, study the reviews and some homework problems you struggled with. Plan to start studying days before the exam/quiz because you won’t be able to learn and practice the material the day before.

Start studying ahead of time and take advantage of the tutoring center.

Make sure to go over his reviews that he makes for the upcoming exams, as well as old reviews he had for the same chapter exam but in his previous classes. All his notes are online, so if you miss class, make sure to go back and check them out. The homework is also very helpful so take your time on it and use it as a resource to study.

Just put in the time in studying. Better to study for 15-20 minutes every day, then to study hours cramming before the test. This is the kind of material that is best learnt through repetition over time. As well, if you're in Ondrej's class, make sure to take full advantage of all the resources he provides. His class notes, and guides with answers are a great resource to study from, and understand how he gets to the solutions. Best of luck!

Advice I would give to a student in MAC2233 (Business Cal) is to go to all the classes. Get help outside the class, hire a tutor. Get 100% on all homework and quizzes big percentage of the grade. Put in over 30 hours leading up to the test and you will get a 100. Study the study guides.

Pay attention in class, attend every class, take notes, do the homework, ask teacher for help if you do not understand something, research rather than “cheat” on your homework if you are having problems.

Be proactive, I took this class twice because I wasn't proactive with the class early on. The second time around, I aced the class (largely due to a better teacher as well). Once you start understanding the content, the class really flies by.
