Comment:

he is tough but by far the best math professor i have ever had. he will make you know the material but it requires lots of practice problems. if you make a mistake in basic precalc you will not get any part marks. but he is amazing.

Comment:

His lectures are tailored toward engineers, which is SO effective! He is super nice, he will stop class the moment you raise your hand to answer your question, brings copies of his class notes (pre-written) for every student, and he's very fair. On the final, he verbally warned us of all the traps while we were taking it. Best of all: He's funny!!

Excellent!!! The best math prof ever. His way of teaching is based on examples. He likes to point out the tricks on the questions and he is really knowledgeable. He also likes to cut some jokes in class, esp about those Art students =P

"Hey guys, you want to storm the wall? I tell you, storm this wall! [points to chalkboard]." Haha what a guy, always had something entertaining to say. Excellent prof, his notes are a bit hard to read but the content is excellent, if you know the notes you know everything you need to know.

Avoid him if you can. He is not fit to be a prof at all, never mind a first year prof.

my BEST PROFESSOR EVER. He gives plenty of examples. I transfered into his section 3 weeks after the start of the term because the prof in my other section sucked. Had lots of catching up to do when i transferred, but it was WELL worth it.

Love Russians. Vitaliy Timofiiv and Sergei are the funnest profs. Sergei will warn you not to goof up by 'playing in parking lots'. Although he claims his exams are "mickey mouse" they are much more difficult that he'd have you believe. Good mat

I really don't understand why people like him that much. He doesn't know his stuff that well. And he really pisses me off when he keeps going on about how good he is as a teacher and how many teaching awards he has won.
