Comment:
With George as your instructor calculus is a piece of cake. + he's super funny and enjoys the occasional math pun. He won't accept late assignments, although he drops the lowest assignment mark so you're allowed to skip one. Never tests you on anything that he didn't go over in class. 10/10 would take again and again

Comment:
George is probably the best Calculus prof at Camosun. He is funny and he went through abstract material very well. His exams are relatively more difficult than the ones that students of other profs may have but if you really understand his lectures, you will be able to ace them. I had him for Math 100 and Math 101. He is highly recommended.

Amazing math teacher. He gives you lots of online content to work with, he tells you what you need to know for tests and he's great at explaining all the concepts in a simple clear fashion. Also if you're stuck on an assignment question he will help you with it if you go see him.

He definitely is the best math teacher that I ever had. He has a mountain of math materials. Although, my English is not my first English, his explanation is great. He always returns the assignments very quickly. But he is not an easy maker, though. Be prepared for tough tests but you will be stronger at Math too.

He teaches math, not easy A english 101. George provides great homework and a ton of extra's on his website. He gives great handouts that summarize complicated formula's all with explanations. Which, saves you from taking notes. This is all how you Score an A in mathematics: Relevant studying. He's always there if you need him too,

George is a great professor, but don't expect an easy ride through a math course. He is a tough grader with difficult tests, but has a ridiculous amount of review material available and will help during office hours and is very good with explanations. Take the time to study and to ask questions and you will do well.

Comment:
Assignments are tough. Tests you on things that weren't on assignments, so exercises in the textbook are probably useful to do. Tells you things you don't need to know "for completeness sake" & takes a long time to cover topics to make sure everyone really gets it. During the counting section, he'll hand out smarties a few times. Be ready.

He is a fabulous instructor whom is: * kind and cute (ex: He likes Smarties Candy) *efficient and diligent (ex: always hand exam back the second day) *approchable and helpful (ex:U will find out on you own) Discrete Math.126 is so different from usual math, don't be stuned by it. Since u have a great teacher, u will make it.

Great prof, passionate about math. Hard but fair marker, provides a lot of help on his website. Don't take math 100101 if you don't need it, they are hard courses.

Nice guy, doesn't like to waste time and stays on task. He maintains a wonderful website with many resources and old tests. Obviously dry and difficult content for some, it's a little hard to dress up a first year calculus class. Attendance is crucial. Also very rigid with deadlines; will not accommodate the most legitimate medical issues.

He's a pretty fair teacher. It's a hard class but if you ask for help he's good. He teaches clearly but I found some of the examples he used to be easier than the questions on midterms. Definitely use the practice midterms he provides on his website. Nice guy, but kind of boring.

Get in the groove even before the course starts, because it's more intense than the average student may expect.

A great instructor; he does lots of examples in class which have helped me for when I do the textbook exercises; notes are organized and clear; I've never had to ask him for help so I'm not sure if he's helpful one-on-one... I strongly recommend trying the practice tests he posts online because the tests are pretty similar to the practice ones!

Comment:
He does not explain the concepts clearly, and he just explain the simpliest question during the class. Unexpected and difficult questions always happen in the quizs and final exam. Not the best prof I have ever had. Try not to take his class!
