Comment:

I had to take this awful 2207 class a few times. I finally passed the course the third time with him. His exams are the easiest, but, read the book from cover to cover, take notes, go to every class, SACC if you need it. Luckily we had a take home exam before the final which everyone got a tutor for and an A on the last exam going into the final.

Comment:

He is not helpfull at all. He does not attend class at the final lectures for review. If you are one of those people who need review time in class before exams never take him. He is extremely old, grouchy and can not teach at all.

Comment:

If you want a Professor who is organized and comes to class prepared, don't take him. His handwriting and his tests are illegible. If you ask him questions, he won't answer you because he claims he explained it crystal clear. Save yourself.

Comment:

dont say I didnt warn you... STAY AWAY from this professor. The WORST professor in Baruch. He comes in 15 mins late and then rushes through the material to end class 30-45 mins early. Be prepared to learn everything yourself unless you know everything about calculus. Insults you for asking a question. Exams are barely legible and extremely HARD.

Comment:

I like the way he attracts students' attention - blunt but earnest. His explanation gives insight to understanding a difficult concept, but applying it to actual problems (lots of hw) is your job. I wish I took him in regular semester, not summer course for the sake of time.

Comment:

This is by far the worst professor in Baruch College. He can't teach for life. Guys stay away from this person as possible. He goes way to fast through the material and yells at people if they ask questions. NO NO NO stay away from him.

Comment:

He is actually a really good professor. Although he does go through the materials really fast,the class is easy if you have a good math background. He is pretty laid back and let you go home early.

Comment:

He is not that bad. He explains clearly the sequence for solving each problem. Just remember the scheme how to do it. You don't need to understand cal to do good. Do the homework and PRACTICE FINAL samples, he didn't cover some of them in class. Got "A" by doing all the homework prior each test. Didn't have troubles with his class.

Horrible. Definite NO-NO. Stay away as far as possible. Cannot teach, screams at you for asking questions. Races through material to end class 30 mins early.

Comment:

This Professor is not the best, I will be honest. I do not recommend him, especially if Math is your weak subject. I was very good at math before I went to his class and when I went to his class it was a disaster. I went to EVERY class AND tutoring and did not do very well on the tests. He races through the material. Do NOT do it. = )

Comment:

This professor is truly awful. He comes to every class 15 mins late, and races through the material. When you ask a question he yells and insults you and then says he has too much to cover and there isnt enough time to explain. Then he ends class 30 mins early (not enough time?) He does not write legibly on the board and makes mistakes often.

Comment:

i thought this class was pretty hard & i love calculus. attendance is never taken but you need to go to class AND do the homeworks to do well. tests are really difficult if you dont study and most of your studying will be from the homework. he goes kind of fast but he'll stop if you need help. most of the lectures end early [at least 20 min]

Comment:

Prof's a nice man but can't teach for his life. His grades are solely based on his 3 tests. I taught myself the material & got an A. His tests aren't that hard if you know the material but if you're looking to be taught, he isn't the man to do it. Class Attendance isn't required but if you do go he'll start late and end 1/2 an hr early.

Comment:

covers material way to fast. assumes you know everything and give too much hw. also test is extremely difficult compare to departmental final. I got a B-, but had to learn the material on my own.
