Comment:

he would rush through every example on the board making dozens of mistakes along the way, then rather then correct these mistakes, he would simply say, "Well if I had done it correctly, it would have worked." His average test grade was around a 30, but he curved them up in order to make the grades appear half decent. I would never take him again.

Comment:

As others have mentioned, you get out of this guys class what you put into it. Was it hard? Yes. But did I feel like I was getting shafted? Nope. His lectures may scare you at first, but dont worry. He gives lots of practice tests and was nice enough to hold a review session the night before every test. Always willing to answer questions.

Very fair teacher--tests cover exactly what he talks about in lecture, and he provides practice tests online.

Comment:

Cool professor, very interested in what he was doing. Made a difficult topic clear, but there is absolutely NO way you'll do well without any effort. Be careful not to get behind, I slacked off after fall break and didn't catch up in time for the final. However, if you're willing to work, it's easy, and he's a pretty good lecturer.

Comment:

Hes a good teacher, but teaches a lot of theory, but if you work the practice test and some problems from the book you will do well, it just takes some work...And he is always willing to help you during his office hours.

Comment:

Excellent professor - if you put the work in and do your assignments. Don't expect a free ride. His tests are challenging, but they always follow the material from lecture. Go to class, take notes, review them. Do the work if you want to succeed. It's what life is about!

Comment:

i got the 2nd highest grade in his lecture. do your studying, look at practice tests, and do good on the final. he likes when he sees improvements. i went from making 50s, 60s, to strong A's on the tests and finals and got rewarded.

Great teacher! If you aren't willing to put in the effort you will struggle. Worth it because it will teach you that you can do well if you try at a difficult school like this one

Comment:

Good lord this guy was terrible. He was amusing to watch in lecture, but moves at lightning speed and is hard to follow unless you have the same IQ as he does (i.e. 195). His tests are HORRIBLE and the hardest I've ever had to take in my entire life.

Good guy, he explains things on a theoretical level so its different from other profs, but he's been good for me. Not easy, thats for sure, but theres a lot worse.
