  Best calculus teacher at the school. It's a shame they're getting rid of the problem sessions those were incredibly helpful. Dr. Taylor does a great job explaining how to do the problems in the lecture and if you were ever confused you could go back and watch the videos he has posted.

  John Taylor is a fantastic math teacher. His videos and lectures are so well put together and easy to follow along with. He does a great job at breaking down tough subjects into more understandable material. Attendance is basically required however, as each lecture covers a different section. There's lots of homework, but plenty of time for it all.

  Dr. Taylor is the best instructor I have had at Charlotte, and I would rate him 7 out of 5 if I could. Lectures are incredibly entertaining, he takes the material seriously, and he is always willing to help his students better understand topics. Calculus I moves fast, but his teaching style greatly helped me keep up. Phenomenal professor!

  While he does go through the content quickly, he teaches concepts well. If you do your work on time and come to class prepared, do the homework, you can easily get a B. Tests are semi difficult but test reviews are nearly exact match to tests, and he has tons of videos for you to practice and review with. Overall best math teacher i have ever had.

  Taylor is an amazing professor, I took Calculus 1 with him and having taken calc classes before, I didn't learn it best anywhere else but with him. I depend on good lectures to learn my material, and he does it best by explaining topics step by step. Lectures might get boring sometimes, but you just have to get used to them.

  Dr. Taylor was amazing for calculus. It is by far the most difficult class I've ever taken but he makes himself available to all of his students for any questions or concerns. There is a lot of homework but nothing that you shouldn't be able to manage. Make sure to attend class because he provides a lot of benefits to students with good attendance.

  It's calculus, it's going to be hard. But he makes the material accessible in a way and is a great teacher who knows his stuff. He uses a lot of real-world examples to explain certain things and give you guidance on how to attack problems. One of the best professors and the best calc 1 professor. Get him at all costs.
