Comment:
THe absolute worst professor I've ever taken a class with. I have only ever gotten three grades below a B at this university in my four years here, and all three have been with Humi. On every exam I take with him, I get all of the questions correct, only to get 20-40 points taken off due to semantics. Rude to students who don't understand.

Comment:
Professor Humi is a very intelligent professor, and is very helpful when you go to office hours. Taking him for lower level courses like calc is good because he can help you understand topics. HOWEVER, he is an incredibly hard grader. There are 2 exams each worth 40% of your final grade. He also uses very esoteric notation.

Comment:
Professor Humi is by far one of the kindest professors on campus. If you actually pay attention in lecture and drop by his office once or twice if you have any confusion on material, he will be happy to help you. I wish I could retake calc 4 just to remember what it's like to have a good professor. WPI needs more teachers like him.

Comment:
His class seems straightforward. Does tons of review in class and both tests are all problems already covered in class. This being said he takes off obscene amounts of points for the smallest mistakes. You've seen the questions before but unless you're perfect you'll struggle. Unfair especially because he makes tons of mistakes while giving notes.

Comment:
I would not recommend taking this class with him. His lectures are confusing and incomplete. Even though this was an easy course, it used my time because I always had to go back to the lecture videos to figure out the details that he missed. The class does't feel like a 4000-level class. Homework is easy and the book used for the course is bad.

Comment:
Professor made homeworks and quizzes worth NOTHING. 84 percent of the grade based on two exams where almost no partial credit was given. Trick questions on exams harder than anything we had ever seen before. Otherwise he was a great lecturer and really made the material easy to understand. Impossible to get an A, but easy to get a B.

Excellent professor!!! Goes out of his way to help you and does a wonderful job explaining how all of the math you have learned relates to science and engineering. He genuinely cares about all of his students and wants them to succeed.

Excellent professor! Humi gives very clear explanations, shows how all the math you have learned is connected to science and engineering, and goes out of his way to help all of his students. He is without a doubt the best math professor I have had thus far at WPI!!!

Funny. He makes references to fish and strawberries a lot. Knows the material and wants to make sure everyone understands. He tries to get students involved in the lecture. You won't regret taking this class

Humi is a great professor, he prepares you very well for the exam and the exam is just like the homework for the class. Exams are worth a lot (2 exams, 42% each) but if you pay attention in class and do the HW you will be fine.

Comment:
I've never had a professor who genuinely cares so much about his students as much as Humi. I took a second class with him because I enjoyed him so much. Takes off a lot of points but that's because most of his test is homework problems we've done before. Highly recommend him, especially for more difficult topics.

Very harsh grader, and difficult exams. On one test he made an unsolvable problem and still counted it, taking off points if you didn't solve it to the point where he decided you could tell it could not be solved.

Absolutely fantastic professor. He's crystal clear, he cares about helping students learn, and he's pretty funny sometimes. He can be a bit fast, and this class is more than a little challenging, but absolutely my favorite math professor I've had yet.

He's a great guy, really cares about his students. But watch out for little mistakes on exams, he'll butcher your grade for them. But the exams are very similar to homework and the re-take saved my grade, literally brought it up 2 letter grades - lol i recommend him

AMAZING guy, but his tests are worth A LOT and he takes off a lot for the smallest mistakes. But he prepares you well for the exams and gives you the chance for a makeup, which can really help you out :D i recommend!

Great lecturer. His notes are incredibly clear and he thoroughly explains the example problems that he does in class. Plus he loves to take and answer questions in lecture. Two tests make up over 80% of your grade, but he lets you re-take one of them and the problems are very similar to the homework. He takes off a lot for small mistakes though.
