Comment:
Best is always willing to help his students. Ask away! He's one of those profs that actually ENJOYS his job (unlike other math profs), and hence, makes for an awesome prof. He's entertaining and sounds very keen. The course is challenging but hard work definitely pays off. I wish best taught other courses as well.

Awesome Prof. Very clear notes and makes interesting jokes to lighten up the class. Made Calculus fairy enjoyable, and is definitely one of the better Profs out there.

Lazy prof. Did not teach very well. A good comedian, but not really all that helpful with the material. Does not explain things fully, expects students to just know.

Just don't sit at the back of the class. He mumbles and you'll be clueless. Find another calc prof at the same time slot if you can.

Hes a good Prof. Very funny when you know whats going on, not so funny when your confused out of your mind. How do you get these batteries in the mic? Does examples straight out of the text. The textbook is great, if you read it over there is no need to goto class.

Comment:
one of the best prof, the 1st couple of classes were sorta of hard to understand, but once you get into the course, it is much easier. Midterm easy, final a bit harder. Very helpful after class and is very funny!!!! go to class and try to get him to remember your name!!

I hated his first lecture, enjoyed the rest. Stick with him for a couple of lectures before you give up on him. Clear, straightforward explanations combined with easygoing humour. Very helpful outside of class. Assignments were huge in length though.

Hilarious Guy, real approachable, sense of humor. But more suited for teaching upper year classes... Might be a bit too "outtathere" for a first year course.

He's hilarious..the first class started things off with crazy coincidences. He also repeated a lecture twice in a row cause he brought the wrong notes. He explains things down-to-earth.. we're not done the course yet though.
