Comment:

Knows the material very well and assumes that everyone else does as well. Can be very condensing and seems almost as if he gets joy from people struggling and dropping his class. Lots of homework, but it's not graded. Out of the hundred problems he assigns, a few of them will be on the test, which is nice if you thoroughly understand everything

Comment:

Father Levko's style of teaching is very fast paced and without prior knowledge of the topic entering the class, failure is inevitable. He's condescending if you choose to seek help and constantly encourages students to drop his course. The smaller the class gets, the more people he has scared out and the more satisfaction he receives. It's sad.

Comment:

Professor levko is a good guy, however he is not the best teacher. He knows the material inside and out and therefore he doesnt teach it that well because he assumes we all understood it without an explanation. Tests were extremely difficult and he is a tough grader. Id definitely avoid taking him. It helps if you know calc prior to this course

If you have no background in calculus don't take this class!!! to pass you need more than just a good understanding of the material but you have to be an expert at it. if you're an overachiever and take this class God bless you and good luck. if your just I regular B student like me be smart and take someone else this guy will destroy you

Fr. Levko was unnecessarily rude throughout the entire semester. He didn't care whether you understood the concepts and continued to move ahead. Get ready to spend hours a night just doing math.

Comment:

Avoid if possible. Test are almost impossible. He hardly has office hours and the ones he does have are at terrible times. Doesn't use email so u have to call him but only at certain times of the day. I had calculus background and I still struggled after going to the additional tutoring sessions offered.

assigns homework everyday but does not grade it.. Never available outside of class. can teach yourself the material with textbook and problems he assigns because attendance isn't mandatory. worst professor I've had and doesn't teach at all.

Comment:

This man is the least helpful teacher I'Ve ever had. He flies through the material and doesn't go back or slow down if you need him to. He thinks everyone should understand everything he says the first time he says it. If you have the chance, take someone else.

Comment:

I would recommend avoiding him if possible. He intentionally makes the class difficult to make students drop the class. He does not assign homework for a specific day, but instead gives you a list of problems for the entire semester. Do the problems! Most of the test questions are the exact same from the list or the examples he gives.

Comment:

Although he wasn't always clear, I absolutely loved having Father Levko for Calc II. He is very intelligent, a really nice guy, and his tests are mostly examples and homework problems. Although there are probably better professors for the subject, you really do learn a lot. I was surprised how much I liked him.
