Comment:

Prof. Thull is an amazing professor. I would highly recommend taking his class. The online work that is given to you requires you to look up solutions to complete it, but otherwise alright. I did not understand most of the teachings and I always asked him questions, I highly recommend that you ask him questions. Even if they seem dumb to ask.

Take this class in summer. Have 6 portfolio problems, 6 quizzes, 1 midterm and 1 final. Quizzes and exams are easy, the problems come from the practice problems in the books. Use 2 free, online books. The portfolio problems are easy too. Easy A.

Comment:

Professor Thull was really helpful at explaining if you didn't understand something. Lecture notes were taken via a blank packet he handed out and went through on the board. Before an exam he would post exams used previous years to BB and these were incredibly useful, make sure to study those closely. I would highly recommend taking Thull for 302

Comment:

Thull is a pretty good teacher. He does what is expected of him, but expects the student to independently learn through the notes. It is a typical math class so no real complaints or compliments. Has online homework due every Sunday, and actively does in class exercises for credit, so attendance is recommended. No textbook necessary.

Comment:

Thull was probably the best prof I've ever had. He was so helpful and so laid back. You do little assignments in groups at the end of most classes but he was always willing to help you until you understood it and finished the assignment. He also dropped a couple of your lowest 5 pt quizzes which was nice.

The biggest problem with him is that he can be a bit boring at times but hes a good teacher. He goes to pretty great lengths to answer any question thats asked and goes in depth with the coarse material. I you show up and pay attention youll do fine.

Professor Thull was one of my favorite professors! He made lectures interesting and made it easy to learn. If you ever had any questions, he wouldn't stop until you fully understood. He was very clear about what was and wasn't on tests. If you can take him, do it!

Comment:

Greg was an awesome professor who took over my section halfway through the semester. His lectures were organized and effective, and he answered questions clearly. His tests were somewhat difficult but he prepares you for them since he is such a great prof. He doesn't assign a ton of hw like lots of math profs, and provides help in and outside class

Comment:

By far the best math professor I have ever had. I have never been strong at math but he made me feel super confident on all tests and going into the final I have an A in the class. I wish all my math classes were taught by him. He explains things once and then asks if there are any questions. If you do the work you will get an A.

Awesome professor. Answers questions better than any other professor I have every had. I stopped doing the suggested homework halfway through the semester and his lectures were so good that I still got an A. He makes hard math easy. Take him if you get the chance!

This class was very manageable with Prof. Thull. There were a number of Webwork and in class quizzes, but these were useful in learning the material. He's very approachable and helpful when you have questions, and is a fair grader. Having guided notes in class was a plus as well.

I really enjoyed having Professor Thull this semester. He's very approachable and willing to answer any questions in or outside of class. Most of the quizzes were in groups and he drops a few low grades which is really nice. Exams are hard but fair, so study hard and you'll do fine.

Comment:

He's a nice guy and really did help to bolster grades, but the way he taught just made everything excessively difficult in my opinion. I've consistently been a A-B math student but found it difficult to hold a C in this class. Doesn't give partial credit on exams. However, he will help if you are not doing well.

I'm usually pretty good at math but the way he lectured did not work for me. If you have taken precalc and/or get a tutor, it will help you a lot.

Comment:

Calc2 is usually hard but not with Thull. Lectures are easy to understand and have enough "you do this problem" for you to get it. He is always excited to answer questions no matter how dumb they are and continues explaining until you get it. Plenty of grades, freebie homework points, and drop the lowest scores makes it easy to keep a good grade.

Professor Thull is a wonderful teacher, he explains things effectively and is very easy to follow. He is always willing to help, and really knows what he is doing. I struggled in MTH201, but he made Calc2 almost seem easy

Really cares about the students and wants them to succeed. He will spend extra time explaining/re-explaining topics if needed. He uses Webworks for homework assignments.

Great Prof. with guided notes that allow you to actually take in what is being taught rather than scrambling down notes.

Comment:

Greg is really sweet and quiet. I hadn't taken a math class in over 2 years before I took this one, therefore I thought I wouldn't do well. However, he is an incredible professor and I feel like I learned a lot from him. There are 3 exams plus the final, and around 13 quizzes, which can be done in groups.
