Comment:
Good lecturer. Linear algebra can be difficult, but he does a decent job at explaining. Sometimes, he does miss or not explain things well and you'll have to refer to the textbook. He is witty and lectures aren't immensely boring.

Probably the 'wittiest' prof I had this year. I just hope he never puts the 'box of doom' around me.

Comment:
Took math 152 with Professor Wetton, probably one of the easiest classes of first year. He is a great professor and has a sense of humour. The class can move pretty fast at the start so attend lectures and do webwork and you will be fine.

Comment:
Dr. Wetton is really a good professor. You can find his systematic thoughts from his online notes. Also a hilarious guy, give math terms funny names and make fun of board games. One flaw: He concentrates a little bit too much on concepts, you may have to do more exercises after class.

Comment:
I really liked Dr. Wetton. There was just an optional textbook for the course, and he posts all his notes online, as well as past instructor's notes. He's very nice and approachable during office hours, plus he's humourous. Math 400 seems like it's gotten easier over the years; the assignments and course were challenging but overall very rewarding.

This guy loves Math. And he is very enthusiastic about teaching it to you. Called eigen vectors our hearts' desire and tends to make smiley faces in notes. All in all, clear and systematic.

Comment:
The subject itself requires hard work put in. Dr. Wetton is passionate enough, but sometimes unclear on explanations, especially towards the end of the course. You're also expected to know a lot of the basics. Assignments require lots of work and time, and exams are fair.

Comment:
Wetton is funny, not always the clearest explainer, but quite helpful and laid back guy. warning: this course will seem easy at first, but the difficulty level will grow exponentially just right before the first midterm. if you don't get certain concepts, i suggest youtubing them right away. LONG LIVE GAUSS THE ELIMINATOR!

Very enthusiastic and loves what he's teaching! The course material was dry and tough which was the only negative of the course. He does have a habit of going off on tangents...

Comment:
Wetton was a funny guy... he makes the concepts memorable ("GAUSS the eliminator!"). sometimes have a problem understanding his notes (all those arrows...), but otherwise, hes probably the better of the 152 profs out there. If you have this guy, you'll be fine. Just read the notes if you dont get something, because concepts tend to pile up...

Great teacher IMO, rather goofy tho which isn't necessarily a problem (corny jokes and whatnot) but overall entertaining and good teaching style. Gets excited over Math. [e.g. - "Gauss was a hitman for eliminating all those variables"]

i dont doubt that he is a math genius, but my pet dog can teach better than he can... its like taking a really crappy text book and taking out every other word and tryin to teach urself off it... he has the voice of a weed whacker... and the clarity of a septic tank... expect to fail...
