Comment:
Very confusing fast paced lectures. Spend the whole class writing off the board and you definately won't be able understand anything the first time in the class. However, here is the catch. You care. He cares. Ask him questions outside of class. Write down something even if you don't know what's going on in the test. He will make you pass somehow.

He is a great teacher, you shouldn't skip class because you are constantly taking notes. But he is always open for visitors and will explain anything you need explained. Visit him outside of class and you will learn so much more. Recommend him as a prof.

Comment:
Not a very good prof. He's unclear when teaching a lot of topics. You'll learn more on youtube. You have to go to class to get the notes but it'd be a miracle if you could understand them. Never have I seen so many students fail or drop out of a course. It doesn't help that he's the only one teaching this course. Brace yourself.

Professor Stephenson is clearly a math god. Don't skip though - very lecture heavy, and must be present to soak it all in. Get ready to take notes - which you'll be grateful for when the time comes to do assignments or study for exams!

Comment:
This is an amazing university professor. He genuinely cares about his students success and is always happy to go over what you did wrong with you. He has weekly math assignments, but they have never taken me over an hour or two to do. His classes are straight to the point and he spends the whole times doing examples and going over the material.

There were two profs teaching this course and his midterms were way easy as he let you know what type of questions were on them. His class had good test averages but the other prof nearly had all her students fail.

He is a suuuuper nice guy and is really accommodating. He is definitely more of an academic than an educator tho. You can tell he does not always want to be there.

Prof gets right into it from the first day. Come to class and take the notes and you should be fine. Reference the text if not sure but if you are worried about math, put forth an average effort and you will pass.

You can tell he is really smart but he dosent know how to explain things. I really don't care how to get the formula I just want to know how it works. He defintly talks in circles and explains everyting at least three times. Tests Easy /Assignments Easy. Its practically grade 12 all over with a couple extra things that you have to teach yourself.

A big angry Panda bear who hasn't had his bamboo breakfast yet. He actually chucked an eraser brush across the room because he dropped it. Good lectures, but too much theory and not enough numerical examples. Proofs on tests are not cool.
