would teach you how to do everything with the calculator, then come test time not allowed to use it. He mumbles and doesn't explain anything worth a damn.

If you like random blah blah mumbling, take a class with him. You wont learn a thing. Funny but true:He's within one standard deviation of the boringness of the entire math department.

Comment:
Francis is the most insipid teacher in the world. He teaches the most random crap and then he has a test on totally different material. He never allows calculators and puts crazy long integrals on his tests. Waste of good tuition money if I've ever seen one.

Very Hard class and Francis is not good at explaining anything. He loves to try to explain 3D stuff with anything he can grab onto and ends up looking like a retard. Impossible tests.

Comment:
Francis is crazy. He never actually explains anything but vocabulary. Apparently you're expected to look everything up on google and learn by yourself. He's just there to give tests. BTW, I'm a math minor and love math, just not the way he teaches it.

The most friendly and approachable prof. I've had. If you're willing to come to class prepared and you want to finish this class confident with your ability, then I recommend highly. Wish they were all like Francis. Works to help you really learn.

Ok. He sucks. Class is hard to sit through and the book tells you everything. Go for help at office hours and he will teach you everything you don't get in class. Be on his good side because partial credit decided my grade BC.

His lectures can be terribly boring. Goes off topic a lot and spends 20 minutes doing something that has nothing to do with the material. The final is wickedly impossible.

I like math, but have a hard time paying attention in his class. He mumbles alot and makes things way to complicated. If you aren't willing to put in alot of time out of class understanding the material, don't bother taking him.

What part of he doesn't teach the class but manages to mumble at the board the entire time makes his class a good learning environment

All I can say is that if you can understand a teacher that mumbles and looks at the board the entire time, and won't draw 3D pictures, he will also TRY to explain them with his hands. My favorite quote from a student "cut it along the horse axes?

I would take one of his classes any chance I got. Knows his stuff and takes time time to help you. If you put the effort into the class you can learn alot.

Bill is a very good prof and the people that don't like him don't appriciate math or pay attention. He is very smart and willing to help --assuming you put forth the drive.

His lectures are completely useless. One time he explained to the class for a good 20 minutes what a plane is. Luckily Calc 3 isn't a hard class or I'd be in trouble.

This guy is the worst teacher ever. He thinks he is so smart but he can't teach a single thing. Especially when we takes 45 minutes to go over two simple problems. I highly recommend not taking him. Avoid at all costs.
