Good teacher. Once you get passed the strong Russian accent, if you listen in class, you'll do great, especially with a good tutor. I put in minimum effort and got an A.

Good professor. Experienced. Knows what and how to teach. Lots of examples in lectures to learn from. Keep up and you will do fine. If lectures are too difficult, attend and learn from the tutorials.

Comment:

WORST course examiner ! If you have to take Math 208 for JMSB, try to teacher urself the material (easy stuff) or with a tutor for the online class or complete in Cegep. Trust me he is making the exam a brutal one for NO reason and there are no practice exams out there with his methods, so thank me later and dont take it in class!

Comment:

Absolute worst course examiner for Cal 2(he even included questions that were completely beyond the scope of the webwork, past exams, and book problems). If he is your course examiner for any Math course(including Math 208 or 204) then drop it ASAP.

Comment:

Awesome teacher, with a very peculiar sense of humor. Tells you exactly what's on the midterms. Covers the theory quickly and focuses on important examples. Word of warning though, he goes FAST, and assumes that you are very comfortable with Cal 2 and Linear concepts, so come to class prepared.

Better you regularly come to his office hours and ask questions, many questions. His explanations are not always clear, listen carefully and ask to repeat everything and to make it as clear as possible, ask for similar examples etc. I took his classes twice, to get a good mark you need to demonstrate your interest, that you care and work HARD

I found him hard to understand and for someone who seeks a lot of extra math help between tutoring and professor provided help, I found him useless. He did not care enough or help me at all... I ended up trying to each myself, with the help of tutoring and YouTube and still failed.

What a gem! He has a weird sense of humour, which i found to be funny. This helped make the lectures easy to follow. The midterms were challenging but you knew exactly what to study for and he prepares you for them. He is very knowledgable on the subject and has a great way of conveying the material as well ass tips and tricks.

He is very unclear with his explanations. He assumes that the whole class knows the material instead of actually teaching it. Examples are messy and he goes through them really quickly. DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM.

The class is very easy! If you go to his lectures and do examples with him, you will get your A+. Examples are exactly the same as what you get on the exams, only numbers are different. I got A without even looking at the book.

Comment:

The typical Russian math teacher; very knowledgeable, messy notes, takes for granted you know all concepts, poor explanations. ABOUT ALEXEY; He usually walks in late to class, he tells you exactly what questions will be on the two midterms, his midterms are during the lectures so you will miss 2 lectures and he will rush the material at the end/

Intelligent guy, but his teaching is not well organized. He is even not well prepared for his lecture, showing little interest in teaching and little respect to his students.

Loved him! Really enjoyable lectures. He's very straight to the point, so he goes really fast with the material and you have to practice to keep up. Make sure you're comfortable with cal 2 material and remember it because integration will be used a lot in this class and he assumes you really know it.

Comment:

Explains well and solves lots of USEFUL problems. He is so talented and makes lots of fun in lecture. Tutorial classes are useful, and prepare you for final. Final was easier than what he taught in class. Sometimes he is confusing, but if you take a look at the book everything will be OK. Fair marker; if u go to his lecture, your grade will be A+

Comment:

A lot of people don't like this guy, but I think hes a good teacher. Pros: Gives very good explanations and good methods for solving problems efficiently so you actually learn. Tells you exactly what will be on each mid-term. Cons: Skips over certain important material which is on the final. Might not give part marks on mid terms.

Comment:

Easy grader, straight forward he tells you exactly what to expect on midterms and finals plus he's funny. The class is a bit confusing because OEDs sound complicated in theory. he starts with the theory, but if you just wait for the example you'll see how easy it is. He gives good tips. Just go to class and take notes fast... before he erases it.

This teacher is laid-back which made me enjoy going to his course. Be advised that he skips right through beginner stuff. Pros: enjoyable lectures, knows his stuff, makes you like math Cons: fast paced, lengthyhard problems solved in class can get confusing
