Comment:
His lectures are not clear and he is a tough grader. Small errors on homework and exams will cost you full credit. He makes a relatively easy and interesting math class stressful and unpleasant. Don't take unless you enjoy a challenge.

He wasn't very clear and studdered a lot in his delivery. He made what should have been an easy topic difficult for most students. Overall just difficult to understand.

Comment:
This guy sucks! If you can avoid him do. His Teaching is fine but he grades way too harshly. A small mistake on a test takes you to 2 points out of 10. If you are looking for a fair math teacher avoid this guy and Finch they teach as if everyone taking the class is a math major.Not good! Look for Larry Chen if you want a good professor!

Clear lectures and very knowledgeable. His specialty is probability, so if you're taking a probability class from him he should be fine. If you're taking a lower level class, probably not so fine.

I got a D in this class b/c this guy doesn't make any sense, teaches you nothing in comparison with what he "expects". Tests are out in left field, whether you study or not. This guys sucks, I took this class with Larry Chen and Aced it because he made sense!

Comment:
Tests often deviated from the problems given and discussed in class. It could be the fact that there was a horrendous T.A. who was notorious for ridiculously tough quizzes (I think he wrote much of the final) but Waymire just isn't very good.

I hadn't taken math in more than 10 years and I'd never taken Calculus before. He made it all crystal clear.
