The professor is nice and good with sharing class materials but his lectures are not very organized. The quizzes and exams are quite straightforward but he is a very mean grader(!!!). A lot of students ended up with C or below.

Comment:

he doesn't know how to teach and he's very disorganized. Doesn't explain anything in depth and would sometimes write a topic and forget about it, only to go to the next topic. Being in lecture made it harder to understand material than learning on my own. Also the only calc 3 professor in recent years to curve to a B/B- rather than an A.

He's smart and helpful, but you need to be attentive in the classes to fully understand what he talks about. The class is hard but useful.

Seriously a horrible teacher. But somehow lecture is still helpful. At first I stopped going because I thought it was a waste of time, but after I started going to lecture I did really well. Use the learning den!

Comment:

Nice guy, but a horrible professor. He does know what he's talking about, but he's so obsessed with math that he does not clearly explain anything. The Marsden Vector calc book is equally useless, and the tests/ quizzes are definitely harder than other teacher's calc 3 stuff. Watch the MIT OCW videos and hope you get an easy TA.
