Comment:

His lectures are very boring and hard to follow. The material he goes through is lighter then the material in the textbook. The tests were very similar to the exercises he gave throughout the semester. There also was only a midterm and a final so its hard to improve your grade.

Comment:

His lectures are very confusing, mumbles a lot and very monotone. I didn't learn anything at the start but ended up with a B in the course. His final was very easy and same as the review. Overall a very nice guy, but very boring and monotone.

GREAT professor. TAKE HIS CLASS. Explains very well. No need for textbook. Exams are easy and all the exam question are from previous exam. I you do the problems he gives in class and past exams you'll get and A. He gives options in exams, (ex; do 7 questions out of 15).

he's very boring but his exam allowed us to pick which questions we wanted to answer which turned what would have been a really difficult class into a relatively easy one

Comment:

Very nice professor, but his notes are terribly messy and extremely difficult to read. Also, his tests were not that similar to the past tests as he promised. Makesa few jokes every now and then to keep things interesting, because his voice is so monotone and boring. Ask him for help with anything though, and he'll help you out for sure.

Comment:

Tries to answer all the questions asked in class. Sometimes unclear. Messy notes, the books is much easier though. For some reason deals almost only with concepts in class, but exams are 90% numbers questions. Likes graphs in answers.

Pretty boring prof. Notes are quite messy and exams deal with numbers whereas class deals with concepts. Study the old tests and exams that he makes available to get a good mark. Overall he's OK.
