Comment:
Zig is a great professor. He really cares about his craft and his students. The class is lecture heavy and be ready to do a LOT of homework. That being said, the problems are helpful and the exams are fair. ZIg does a great job at putting some panache in the otherwise dry subject.

Zig is a solid professor for 4181H but you will need to put in the work to get results. You will get lots of long homeworks but he is flexible about the due dates if you ask him to push it back in class. Sometimes his handwriting is a little hard to read but his lectures are very useful and his curves are extremely generous

Took both 4181H and 4182H with Zig. Fair grader, given the proof-based nature of the classes, but make sure you justify your work. Homework sets are very long, so expect to put in some effort. He often diverges from the text. Take-home exams save exam grades. Very helpful if you go to office hours.

I really enjoyed having Zig as a professor. This was the most challenging courses I have ever take. Be ready to give up your life. However, if you put in the required amount of work then you will get a lot out of it.

The class is very tough, but "Zig" really cares about his students' success. If you come to office hours, he will always give you as much help as you need.

He is extremely knowledgable, but sometimes is hard to understand in class. Go to office hours, there are usually not many people there, and he explains things so well. He also does problems similar to the quizzes and tests. He offers extra credit and his practice midterms help tremendously for the actual ones. Plus, he's so adorable.

Z-Bigs is probably the only teacher that can make honors calculus a class worth taking. The cutest old man ever, he is extremely knowledgable but class can seem intimidating. He offers a ton of extra credit and out of class office hours. Take home quizzes and problem sets help pad the grade. His best quality is his dress game: straight grandpa

Fiedorowicz is a genius. He gives fair quizzes and midterms, and offers a good buffer of extra credit. His accent and choice of sweaters can be hilarious. Take advantage of the extra credit, and go to class for questions similar to the exam problems.

I took 1181H. I was in a higher class and dropped down into this one after a couple of weeks. He was very helpful. He has extra office hours before midterms and the midterms are the same format as the review. He adds in a couple take home quizzes and easy homeworks to boost grades after midterms. Great professor overall- really knows the material!

Much better than my 151 teacher. His notes are organized and easy to understand. Averages on the midterms are 62, 68, and 75ish. Study for each and you'll do fine. The final is nearly impossible, but you'll get a decent curve. He is one of the better math teachers at OSU.

Class was boring but the good thing is you can score in midterms by just doing past years' questions. Also, to understand the materials, you need to do the exercise given like everyday because i bet you won't be able to understand what he teach in class.

Exams are just like the practice exams. He is very hard to understand with the thick polish accent, so read before you go to lectures.

Very well prepared. A master of the material. Great board work. Very clear and understandable. I wish he would have spent more time giving the motivations, and intuitions for definitions and theorems, even though after some serious thinking a student will usually figure it out alone.

Comment:
This man will put you to sleep. He uses an overhead. He turns on a mic, but doesnt use it, so you can't hear him and then you listen to static all class. Teach yourself or pick a different teacher, he is good for a couple laughs, but otherwise is useless.
