Calc 1 is a weed-out course, but is a solid weed-out course as it weeds out the weak students. It's an introductory course for harder classes to come.
The content is from basic limits and pre-calculus to basic integrals. The exams are designed to be difficult and is designed to trick you, but it isn't as hard as you might think it is.
John Streese is a great professor, I just wish that he taught other subjects instead.

Honestly a very easy class, I goofed off with my friends the whole semester and got a high A on the final and an A in the class. Practice exams are almost identical to the exams, and the professors are usually good. Even if you get a bad professor it’s not terrible difficult to teach yourself.
Basic calc topics like limits, derivatives, l’hopital’s, disk & washer, and some basic integration. Very useful in later classes so be sure to get a good foundation.
My professor wasn’t listed, I don’t remember her name but she was good albeit a bit difficult to understand at times. Overall most if not all of the Calc 1 professors are good.
Having a study group is really helpful, along with using TA office hours if you need further instruction or help.

Easy to get lost if you don’t get the principal concepts. WATCH all videos. Do all homework and extra credit on exams helped.
Not really unless math major.
He was a really good professor and flexible with his students. He teaches at a fast pace so make sure to slow down or rewatch videos.
Put the work in and you’ll get the grade you want.

I’ve taken this class before with Professor York, but I feel that the format with Professor Streese is easier for me to work with. The course is flipped, where we watch the lectures online and do worksheets in class. It helps because I can ask questions if I need to more easily than I could in a large lecture hall.
The content of this class is the same as any other MAC2311 class at UF. It mostly serves as a course on derivatives, how to use them, and their applications. At the end of the semester, we start talking about antiderivatives and integration, which is discussed more in MAC2312.
Professor Streese is very understanding and genuinely cares about the success of his students. During each class period, he spends about 20 minutes reviewing the lecture with examples and then walks around with the TA’s and helps students out when they have questions.
If you prefer a class format where you get more one on one time with the professor or more time to practice lecture concepts in class, then Dr. Streese’s class is for you.

What is taught and what is tested differ GREATLY. This course does not test you on calculus, but rather on your ability to memorize ln, e, and trig functions. Exams are far too hard (to the point that the passing threshold had to be lowered toa a 67%)
Take at another university if possible
