Comment:

Nice enough guy, smart, an enjoyable class and an easy A; but if you plan on going further in math you'd be better off with an instructor who teaches for depth of understanding rather than just "how to pass my exams". I wish I'd taken this course with a real teacher.

Comment:

Rob is/was an awesome teacher, fair marker, calmly explains concepts in a slow and clear manner...yes, he's a supernerd, but of the best and most interesting sort. Tells you exactly what's going to be on the exams (including the final) so there's no surprises, he just wants to see if you understand

Comment:

He's seems like a really good teacher. Tends to spend too much time going over the same things so it's easy to lose concentration and not put effort into things.

The course is easy, but I don't like his teaching because his class is unorganized and unclear. Mid-terms are hard, but the final exam is ok.

Comment:

Good person. Maybe a bit strange. Flies by the seat of his pants and defanitely scatterbrained, but very interesting. Mid terms are very straight forward and he is a fair marker. He has no problem giving out A's. Got a C with Besler and an A with him.

NEVER hand back the assignment! All material from him are WEIRD, the MT isn't easy! The grade doesn't relate to your test and final. if you get 0 on 2 MTs, Final fail, you can still get B

He goes through material in a quick and smart way. You have to think instead of copying his notes, which is good for you to learn calculus.

Comment:

He is an easy instructor full of humor. Excellent in math, or perfect. But sometimes he made difficult mid terms that give you trouble. The best thing Bure is is that you can ask for part marks when he is returning the mid terms back.
