Comment:

Really great professor and the fact that he emails his notes after every class makes it easier to study for his quizzes and tests. As long as you study his notes and and do the hw problems in the James Stewart book you will DEFINITELY be prepared for his tests and final. Lots of take home quizzes that are tough but doable.

Comment:

This class is harder than math 190. Prof Fry makes it less intimidating. He gives you copies of class notes and many practice problems. It has some interesting topics, like polar graphs and sequences. You have to work hard to understand it all but Prof Fry will help.

Currently taking him. Hes straight forward and has 6 exams,12 quizzes and a finals. This layout made the class so clear. He also has a LOT of the quizzes take home and you can still turn it in after class. Go to his office hours, I realized hes good with one on one conversations and shows you extra problems. Solid professor.

Took him for Winter 2018, the class was fast-paced but not too hard because of Fry's amazing lectures and the notes he emails you. I regret not taking him for 220, he's definitely the best math professor at El Camino.

Fry is great. I took him for Math 191 and Math 210. The classes are hard, but he helps you if you ask. I want to take Math 220 with him.

Mr. Fry is very smart and he knows his stuff. There are quizzes and exams. Homework not required, but you have to do the problems to get good scores on the quizzes. Even extra credit for the math contest. Helpful in office hours.

Professor Fry is an extremely nice guy. He is very clear and organized. He makes sure you learn every part of of calc 2. Like EVERYTHING. He gives a lot of practice problems from emailed notes and book, and you should do them if you want to do well. I recommend for math/engineering majors. He is probably the best prof to prepare you for your future

Mr. Fry sends you his notes with practice problems. You should also have the book for other problems. Tests can be long, but he grades fairly and gives points for doing some of it right. I want to take him for math 220 I hope.

I took Calc 2 in the summer - it went very fast, but Mr. Fry helped me. He gives lots of handouts with practice problems. There are four tests and he doesn't drop any. There are quizzes sometimes. I learned a lot. He makes you work hard, but he makes sense explaining the hard things.

Lecture's helpful. Textbook is useless piece of garbage. Just download the pdf version of the textbook for free by searching on google, as you still need it cuz some of quiz questions are assigned from the textbook. Very important to not get behind the material. OverStackFlow really helped me get through this class, not the textbook. I got an A.

I love Mr. Fry! He's the best! He's well-organized, well-expressed, inspired, experienced. Math 191&210 are fun class because of Mr Fry. Quiz could be easy if you pay attention during his lecture. Exams are far easier than the quiz. He gives handouts which are very helpful. He recommends students to attend the math contest and gives extra credits.

Just participate in class and do problems that are on his notes. Books are not mandatory (I did not have a book) There are quizzes almost every day and exams every 3wks? which keeps you prepared for the final. His exams are not that tough if you practice. Highly recommended

He helps you if you ask questions. Calculus is so hard so you have to do homework and go ask him if you don't get it. Tests can be hard, but they are like the examples most of the time. I am transferring now and I know I am ready for that.

The class meets four days per week and he gives a quiz almost every day on the homework. Good it keeps you studying and you are ready for the test. It might seem like too much math, but he makes it easier to understand. And he helps in office hours if you go.

Professor Fry was AWESOME! He was always willing to help me with a problem if I needed it. If there wasn't enough time in class for me to get my question answered, then I knew I could send him an email, which he responded to all of them :) If I had more math classes to take, I'd definitely take him again!!

Comment:

He gives you written hints on difficult test problems, and half of our tests had a "take-home" portion, which basically amounts to free points if you put forth any sort of effort. He is good at answering questions, but is somewhat prone toward making mistakes. Nevertheless, he is very smart and a good professor! Recommended!

Mr Greg is a good Teacher, he gives a lot of practice problems for you to work out at home and he gives a total of 7 exams. He's a little tough on the grading but he's always willing to help his students when asked.
