Comment:

He's very knowledgeable from what I have heard in class. Someone needs to get him a microphone. Spaces at the front are always full and you can't hear anything from the back. Font and diagrams on slides are small and very light: definitely not visible from the back. Good thing the 8:30 professor puts her completed slides on UMLearn.

Comment:

He has a sense of humour but only if you can manage to snag a seat in the first 3 rows of the lecture hall. Through his quiet voice you may be able to hear a glimpse of the lecture thats required to pass the midterm and final, however, this is unlikely since he whispers his lectures and doesn't use a microphone. Would not recommend this prof at all

Overall Sasho is a pretty good prof. He explains the concepts well, doesn't rush over them. Has a great personality and sense of humour, you will see as you go through the course. Very knowledgeable in calc. Approachable and willing to help, but wait until after class to ask your question, he will explain it much better after class/in his office.

Good prof. Clear when describing concepts, only tells you what you need to know. My only criticism would be that the lab quizzes do not prepare you for the much more difficult midterm. Final isnt as bad

Great professor who is extremely knowledgeable in calculus. He has an accent and speaks quietly but you get used to it. He explains clearly and facilitates note-taking. He is also pretty funny. I would recommend his course.

He might make sense at the beginning of the term, it's a trap! You only understand what you can base off of your previous understanding of the material. He's terrible at explaining new concepts and the fact he is so quiet doesn't help. Avoid his class if you can

Comment:

At the beginning of the term you may be a little put off by his accent. You get used to it though and Sasho turns out to be a great prof!! He clearly knows his stuff and does a superb job of explaining concepts. Slowly he will reveal his adorable personality and self-depricating humour. His smile could cure cancer.

I found his lectures very hard to understand, did not prepare the class for midterms or end of semester exam. If anyone is to take a course of his be prepared for lots of un-answered questions.

Comment:

He is very soft spoken and has the smallest writing ever so sit at the front. The quizzes in the tutorials were too easy and I managed to almost ace all of them but they do not prepare you for the midterm or final where it is waaaaay harder and especially on the midterm a vast amount fail. Definitely solve as many practice questions as possible.

Really great prof. Sit in the front because he talks quietly and has a strong accent. Attendance is mandatory if you want to do well in his class. Just copy down everything he does and write the steps in different colors so you understand the order of the steps. The math looks confusing at first but is actually super easy!!! Easy A for sure!

Lectures are clear and relevant and are the most important part when it comes to doing well in this course. He prepares you very well for tutorial quizzes, however the examinations are quite difficult. Speaks quietly and has writing that is difficult to read but sit near the front and you will be just fine plus you can catch his jokes too. 10/10

Sasho is a good professor that has a passion for math. Recommendations: sit at the front, he is quiet with heavy accent, but understandable if you pay attention, bad hand writing, so again, pay attention. Questions? Go to office hours, don't interrupt the class, he answers questions better in office. Study hard and use the past exams. He's great!

He's a good guy. Funny. That does not, however, a good professor make. Incredibly quiet, heavy accent, illegible handwriting. The midterm was alright if you can get your hands on past midterms, but he DOES NOT PREPARE YOU FOR THE FINAL. Out of the 6 concepts he said would be represented only 2 were, 25% of the exam never even mentioned in class.

I'm sorry but he's a terrible prof. Try not to take him at all costs. He speaks really slow and you barely understand. He doesn't answer well your answer ( not mine, everybody) His examples are not that clear and you have a hard time understanding. The only reason I passed this course is because I bought the grants book and I went to another prof

Comment:

I liked this professor before, he was funny, a bit quiet, but you just need to sit close to the front. The material is dense and he works through it steady but clearly. The main reason i am writing this is because, I mixed up the time for the mid term exam, and contacted Sasho to beg for a deferment, he allowed me to take the deferment. VERY KIND.

He has a very funny sense of humour and makes math more easier by providing clear explanations, tricks to use for questions, tells you what you actually need for the quizzes and exams, and shows how math is applicable to real life! you can really tell he has a passion for math.

In my opinion, He is a good prof . He gave you what you need and focus on the exam , and give easy quiz to get marks. Although he is old and little strict man, he is humour prof. I asked him something as well, and received a clear explanation.

Really old guy, raspy quiet voice, sit at the front. He's a genius but he can no longer relate to his students. I went to another prof's lectures to help me. Was a ton of work, and I got an A+, but I'm not sure it had to be so hard. On the plus side, he's actually hilarious and really likeable. If you can, take his daughter's classes. She's good.
