Comment:
Seemed to lecture more for himself than for the students. Had problems explaining things different ways and was very condescending. The average for both mid-terms was 50%. He begged us not to drop, that a 50% should still get a C (which it didn't). Wasted time and didn't do all the sections, which screwed me in another course that they're needed.

Comment:
Wow. You'll spend longer trying to figure out his notation than you will trying to learn the material. Expects you to know EVERY proof known to man and if you miss a period on the test you get zero. No help outside class as well

Comment:
Completely lost in his own bizarre world of proofs in which he goes about using ambiguous symbols and notation; going to his office, he'll insult you and make you feel stupid. He told me not to pursue Mathematics despite that it's my world. This man takes delight in shattering dreams. AVOID HIM!

Truly the worst professor on the planet; it doesn't get worse than this guy. He expects you to know every proof that exists. If you don't prove things the way he does, you won't receive any partial marks! I had 5 questions for him in Sequences and Series; not a single one he could answer. The class average was 40%. He is a most detestable man.

He's tough, but if you can understand his thoroughness, you're as good as gold. Also, don't assume that he or his markers will be able to read between the lines in your exams, you explain everything as if you were teaching him

Never understand what he is writing and talking about. He always use strange and unusual signs instead of those easy and clear ones to confuse us a lot.

This guy certainly is boring. But he was helpful outside of class and the material in the class was not considerably difficult.

Whatever all you whiners! He is Super hard and makes you understand, not as easy to get away with memorizing with Woods. What are we in University for anyway? I thought it was to learn... I am sick of seeing all these people get degrees because they can memorize and have no thought process!!

WORST PROF FOR THIS COURSE. NOT REASONABLE IN ANY SENSE, HORRIBLE TESTING STYLE, AND DOES NOT WELCOME QUESTIONS. IF YOU WANNA DO POORLY IN A FAIRLY REASONABLE CLASS, TAKE IT WITH WOODS! TRUST ME! YOU CAN'T DO ANY WORSE THAN WOODS!
