Comment:
Well, he's one of the best math professor at Mac. Very knowledgable and helpful. If you're truly a math person, go for him. He's the best that you can have at Mac. But if you plan to take a math class just to fulfill some requirements, you may not like him. I will definitely take another class with him if I have a chance.

Comment:
He makes no effort to build relationships with his students; I ended up unmotivated to learn his material because I felt disconnected from him and his field. Having students do reading responses was good pedagogy. However, classtime was stale lecture. Feedback on tests was unhelpful and condescending. He's somewhat helpful in his office, but terse.

Professor Bressoud is brilliant and always enthusiastic in class. He is very organized and well explains everything. Very helpful after class. Although his class is hard and with high workload, it is still a good choice if you really want to learn something. He is also nice on his exams. Awesome professor, awesome class!

he knows a lot about math, loves the history behind it, and loves challenging his students. Lectures are sometimes un-clear but a pretty easy grader on hw and projects. Take-home exams!

Super helpful, always very understanding and willing to work with you. Really not that difficult at all considering the difficulty of the material he is presenting (especially for Number Theory)

The subject is very difficult, but he guides you through issues if you ask. He will never give you an answer but helps you find it yourself, which is helpful to really learn. He also gives points back on corrections for tests.

Hardest but best math professor ever! Don't take his classes if you're quick to give up. He's friendly and available to help, but it's best to rely on study-groups for assigments. Don't graduate without taking a Bressoud class!

Bressoud is amazing. There's a certain aura about his office, one of revelation. However, that feeling doesn't always extend beyond...no matter. This man will teach you math like no other.
