Comment:
This class was very difficult for me and required me to put in a lot of time and effort; however, Dr. Filaseta is a wonderful professor. Really cares for students, replies to emails quickly, and is always available to help. Only grades are tests and pop quizzes. Tests resemble homework problems assigned so fairly straightforward.

Michael Filaseta was truly a remarkable lecturer and scholar. From his website, you can see that he has won awards in both teaching and research (something that seems so rare). He was extremely fair, motivating, and knowledgeable. He is highly respected within his area of expertise and inspirational.

I found vector exceptionally difficult, but taking it with Filaseta made it more than bearable. He's incredibly sweet and has been through a lot in his life, he really wants to help his students and tries to be as fair as possible. Working homework and quiz problems are the key to doing well in his class. Oh, and go to lecture. I got an A

Dr. Filaseta is a great teacher and nice man. He wants his students to succeed, but definitely does not give away grades. Can give tough tests and quizzes but is nothing is unreasonable. I would recommend taking him and would take him again for another class.

Filaseta is fantastic. Easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. Definitely take advantage of his office hours--he is extremely helpful and really interested in getting to know his students. His tests are challenging, but you will be fine if you pay attention in class, complete the homework and ask for help if you need it.

He's a nice guy and extremely helpful as long as you attend class and show that you're trying. The material itself is pretty difficult but he gives a ton of partial credit so it's not hard to do well in the class. Don't be afraid to go to his office hours if you are confused.

He's very easy to understand early in the semester, but towards the middle I was confused a lot. His quizzes cover the material well though, and his exams are very doable. He's always open to helping you understand it out of class.

Comment:
His honors class is pretty difficult, especially for non math majors. It's difficult but not impossible, and you will learn a lot if you simply show up for class and study for the exams. Studying and doing the homework's must if you expect an A. Filaseta is very helpful and a very nice guy. I'd recommend him for 241 if and when he teaches it.

If you are not good at math then do NOT take him. He is very confusing in his lectures and doesnt really teach you anything about teaching kids math. He is a really nice guy though.

He's a good person, may not be the best if you suck at math. However, quizes help your grade. Just do the homework and you will do fine on the quizes. Pretty easy though...

Dr. Filaseta was maybe too easy. I felt like he should have almost been a little tougher when grading us. Still, he was super nice and really went out of his way to help us.

Great teacher. His quizzes exactly reflect the course material (which he leads you by the hand through), and his tests are perfect; not hard, just challenging enough so that when you finish them, you feel a little proud. Nice guy, too.
