Comment:

Prof Jonker was the first person at Queens that showed an interest in my well being. I had severe mental health issues and my attendance and grades were poor. He went out of his way to ask how I was doing and what he could do to help. An absolutely wonderful human being. He also made things very clear for me as a ConEd student with no math skills

I hated Calculus before i took this course. Jonker is the most amazing math teacher. I understand integrals and derivatives so much better since taking his course. he's also more than willing to answer any questions you have. The best teacher of first year eng by far.

Comment:

I don't know what's up with the negative comments, but Jonker is by far one of the greatest professors currently teaching first year. His course is well organized, his lectures clear, and the tutorials are aligned perfectly with the course material. He consistently challenges students to understand the material, and not just memorize.

Comment:

The last comment is jokes man. Whoever wrote that doesn't know what a good prof is and what a good teacher is. Leo Jonker is one of the best profs of first year Queen's. He makes time for everyone and is ready to provide personal attention to every single student. He teaches you how to think and tries to open your mind when working on math.

Comment:

Calculus was my favourite class before I had Jonker as a professor. He makes everything much more complicated than it needs to be. He tries every day tp turn a lecture of 400 people into a 'group discussion'. This simply is not possible and a waste of time for those who do want to learn.

I never went to his lectures but whenever you have trouble with something you can always drop him an e-mail or by his office and he'll help you. I hated the guest lecturers
