Comment:

I was scared coming into class because of past reviews, but I loved Dr Bob! He is very knowledgeable about calculus and is clearly passionate about math. His lectures are confusing, but his office hours are very helpful!! He grades fairly. Do the homework and really study the past tests and quizzes he posts and you'll pass. Seriously, he's great!!

Comment:

Dr. Bob is very very smart and his lectures are often hard to follow. But, if you read the textbook, do the homework, and follow along during lectures, the class is more manageable. He is very helpful outside of class and post all the test online so you can study. I would recommend him if you like math and are ready for a challenge.

Comment:

I had Dr Bob for Calc II. I would definitely try to avoid him if there is any other class available. If you do get stuck with him, meet with him outside of class. Outside of class he is very nice and helpful, otherwise he is very condescending. Unfortunately, his classes and review sessions rarely cover what's on the exam. Good Luck.

Comment:

He is the worst teacher I have ever take. He is a tough grader. I once got the answer for all 3 questions that were on the quiz right and I still got a 5 out of 10. He is condescending and mean. He is dirrspectful, arrogant, and sarcastic. He is very smart and is teaching a class that is to rudimentary for him. He makes it complicated.

Dr. Bob... not a very good professor. WAY too intelligent to be a teacher. Expects people's brains to work like his. Just overall a bad experience. Definitely needed AP Calc background in order to be successful in this class.

Comment:

He's a good person that is simply too smart for Calc II. He makes class very difficult, he does not explain anything, rather he just talks to the board and expects you to understand it the second it comes off his lips. I would have failed his class had I not learned most of the material already in AP Calc.

Comment:

He spends half the time going over the homework and then the rest of class with his back turned away writing things on the board expecting you to understand what he is saying. He keeps preaching about maple but when you try and use it he deducts points because you didn't show what happened even if you state the use of Maple (which he has you do)

Comment:

He is a good guy, he tries hard to teach his students. But he is not a good teacher. He has a degree in theoretical physics and expects his students to know everything from Algebra I. He is impatient and will not answer questions well. However, he posts sample tests online and gives easy MAPLE worksheet you can't fail for 20% of your grade.

Comment:

He seems to be nice at first but you will not undertand what he says in class. He will make time to help you but can be condecending in doing so. He teaches extra stuff you do not need to know and uses MAPLE religiously, which just flat out sucks. Attendance is mandatory but you will basically teach yourself.His take home test is absurd. Bad News

Amazing instructor. He expects students to learn when most students just want to "know what is going to be on the test." He can't help it if his students don't want to work hard. Welcome to college.
