Comment:
this guy is not a very good prof. he goes very quickly and doesn't make calculus any less painful than it needs to be. i was very lost. oh and he uses a text that a bunch of profs wrote and the material is completely irrelavent

Very structured class; definition, theorem, proof. Non cumulative tests; 3 1 hour tests. Very fair

Comment:
In one word, he's UNFAIR. The day of our final exam, he comes in late, tells us we only have 1.5 hrs. to write it when we were supposed to have 2 hrs., and then wouldn't give us extra time at the end. And his tests are particularly long and HARD. Beware. I don't trust him.

Don't take this class with him...it's hard and not easy to understand. It's full of theorems, proof and definitions that you need to know exactly to pass the tests and assignments which he marks incredibly hard.

extremely intelligent and very helpful - a little boring at 8:30 in the morning, but writes the textbook you use in class, so it's easy to follow along

Comment:
hes extreemly helpful and wrote the book on discrete. i would advise not taking multiple courses with him at the same time, hes not the most entertaining, but one of the best for teaching. but I guess thats the point of school.

had him for discrete,wouldn't recommend class but was interesting at times Also had for Linear Algebra I & enjoyed it,plenty of examples. his best quality is he's always willing to help & easy to find. I've gone to him for help in other courses & he was happy to help. easy to talk to,approachable

His lectures were fast-paced, intelligent, and unambigous. I always knew what was expected. He wrote the text, but surprisingly it's not tripe, so don't let that dissuade you. Be prepared to work hard, though. Only one person got over 90 on the final.

Don't take him, anyone would be better. He might've written the book you use in this class, but outside of the text, he doesn't go into much else. It's like storytime during that class, totally puts you to sleep. Very frustrating.

Comment:
Do not take him, even if his tests are open book!! That means he will only test you on harder material and if you're struggling with proofs, then good luck!! BORING lectures and almost every class 10 students would leave before the class was over!!!
