Comment:

Best teacher ever! Hardest, most willing to "keep explaining". I will never forget calculating the volume of spheres as "laser digging". I still explain it that way. Gave our section an extra class as a "gift" because we didn't understand the material well enough. If you do well in his class the only person who will know more math than you--is him!

He is probably the most influential mind in my academic life. He made Cooper Union an academic challenge for me and built a foundation that I still use to this day.

Comment:

Prof. Kondipirakis is a brilliant teacher who conveys a passion for the material and demands a level of insight and industriousness I have never experienced with other teachers. He teaches mathematics in such a way it becomes a beautiful subject - he has the ability to open the eyes of even mediocre students to the language of mathematics.

Comment:

I remember he gave us the first homework on a Friday. He said you have 7 days to complete it when the next class was Monday. I corrected him. He said, " you have Friday afternoon, Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night. That's 7 days." I learned to work hard in his class.

He certainly made up majority of my Cooper experience. Best math teacher I ever encountered, especially on combinatoric stuff. Hopefully he'll come back to give some short seminars.

Comment:

Taking his Calc I class shatters all your preconceived notions of what college classes are like. You'll have some of the most valuable calc techniques hammered and ingrained into you. Has the notorious voice that has spawned generations of impersonators.

At first I hated him. Then I took three other classes with him. He is the hardets teacher I ever had. But he is by far the best. I came into his calc class thinking I was hot stuff and going to get an A. I still got an A, but it required 5x more work.

Comment:

Tough. Adapt or die. Take notes, do all the tons of HW. Ask if you don't get something. His "C" is an "A" in a avg class. Work/tests equal effectively double the credits. You'll know the subj better than anyone, but is it worth ruining

Impossible class. He may know the stuff cold, and he teaches pretty well, but his tests are impossible. Be happy with a C.
