Comment:

I had him for all my math class except Math 220. His class is pretty straight forward. As long as you do the homework and the review sheet problems , there is no way you are getting below an A. I always did my homeworks during the weekend before the test and did the worksheet. Got always 90+ on the test. Definitely take his class

Comment:

Had him for 141, 230, and 251. He's such a good teacher! His tests are arranged to be slightly harder than the in class, but VERY little. He does this to make sure you understand the concepts. If you learn your stuff and do the work, there is NO way you can't get an A. Textbooks only used for HW, I didn't buy any of them.

Comment:

He is intelligent and he teaches very well. I do not know why ppl said he does not care about student progress. He will higher the highest exam grade and lower the lowest one. When he feels that students are getting bad grades on the exams, he gives plenty of extra credits and in class exercises which are open book open notes. And he gives grades f

Comment:

Very smart professor, he's so helpful and tries to help you understand the material even if it takes half the class time to do it. The homework really helps you understand the concepts, even though the homework isn't mandatory. I like how he lets you choose some questions on exams so that you can control how well you do on them.

Comment:

He is very boring, he jumps around topics a lot when teaching, which makes it hard to understand. Exams were fairly easy only if you did all the homework. Would recommend taking Math classes with Dr.Helou

Math with Horwitz is just like any other math class. Do the work. Pass. Don't do the work. Fail.

Comment:

if you didnt do well in a class with horwitz then you wont do well in ANY math class, his explanations are super clear... i hope you people who didnt do well have changed your majors by now and feel bitter everyday that your bad evaluation of horwitz didnt do justice for your poor performance.

Comment:

whoever says Horwitz can't teach is an idiot. You can't get more clear in explanation or fair in testing. If you have a problem with his style, then you better become a liberal artist because teachers just become worse. Horwitz is the top of the hill.. can't get better. The only complaint I have is
