Comment:

Although I liked him, I don't think I could have kept up with the class if it wasn't for my fantastic AP Calculus teacher in high school. Again, he is a great guy, but if you actually want to learn the material, you will need to teach yourself. Also, he doesn't enter grades till the very end which is kind of stressful but he hands back graded work.

Easiest grade ever, but I didn't learn ANYTHING. Dif. eq. is the most important mathematics course for engineers and now I'm having to re-learn everything in upper level MMAE courses.

Comment:

Very nice professor. He is an extremely lenient grader and on top of that the quizzes and exams are just problems he goes over in class. He has one webassign due every week but extends the due date at the end of the semester so you can make up most of it. Only have to do 50% of homework to get the full homework credit, the rest is extra credit.

Easy grader, ok teacher. If you have taken Calc before, and don't want to do that much work, he's your guy. However if you have never taken calc or are not that confident in your skills, I'd go with another teacher bc Miranda is bad at answering questions and kind of gives up on them. Otherwise, its a pretty fun class.

He explains very clearly, he is very helpful. If you miss class he is understanding so long as you know what he is teaching. He sincerely wants us to learn he can also be humorous at times. If somethings not clear he would go over it many times. QUALITY LECTURES!!!

Miranda is a very nice guy, he is willing to help you and is always very cheerful and positive. You wont learn much from his lectures, you have to teach yourself the content if you truly want to learn. This class is an easy A, if you're looking for that hes your guy. If you really need to learn the content of the course id go with someone else.

Comment:

I took Miranda for both Calc 2 and Diff Eq. Not the most amazing of lecturers, but he makes up for it with being an easy grader. He pulls quiz questions from problems he went over in lecture, and then all of his exam questions are from those quizes (numbers may or may not be changed). Lots of easy points and extra credit in his class. TAKE HIM!!

Comment:

Miranda is awesome. During lectures, make sure to write down EVERYTHING he does, and you'll do fine. Quizzes every Friday and you're allowed an index card of notes. He's a lenient grader and gives partial credit for everything. Tests aren't cumulative. Attendance taken for every class, but he makes himself available outside of class too

He really is not a good teacher, but he is a super easy grader, always giving generous partial credit. I have a B in DiffEq and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Comment:

His lecture notes are very comprehensive and if you write down exactly what he does and study from it, you'll get an A because his quizzes are the same as is example problems. The webassign will be enough to study for the tests, just go to class and take notes, he's the easiest most generous grader at IIT.

Comment:

Miranda is a great teacher, if you come to class everyday you will understand his material. There is weekly quizzes and homework assignments, but if you do the homework, the quizzes should on par with the homework. Doing 50% of homework gets you an A in homework, doing the rest would result in extra credit. Would recommend this teacher to anyone.

Comment:

If you can take Jesus Miranda for any math course, DO IT. You would have to try with some effort to get anything lower than a B. In other words, you will probably get an A. The homework is straight off Webassign, and he doesn't make it too difficult. His grading on tests is VERY lenient. Take him if you want an A.

BEST CALC 2 PROF YOU CAN GET AT IIT. Barley any hw. Notes are quizzes and quizzes are notes. So when exam time comes, youve seen almost EVERY question either on a quiz or in notes. I think its impossible to get anything lower than an 85 in this class tbh. And you are straight lazy if you dont get an A. Im not mathy AT ALL and I got an A EASYYYYYYY

Classes are to the point and well explained. Prof Miranda is an extremely nice person, which in itself makes everything so much easier. He allows equation sheets in exams. Gives weekly homework. The course was a breeze. If you read the text and pay attention to lectures, solid understanding is guaranteed. The Prof also adds humour to the mix. :)

Great professor. Roasts kids all the time. Quizzes/exams aren't very difficult if you do the homework. Exams are questions from quizzes + some questions from sections covered between quiz and exam. Great course overall.

I can't believe nobody has rate Miranda! He's an awesome teacher. Very easy grading. His tests are just like the examples he writes in class, so copy copy copy and make sure you understand your notes. If you go to him for help he will break down the problem step by step, no matter how simple the step is. very helpful, makes math easy

Comment:

If you take him, you will pass, notecards on all test and quizzes, 2 tests (which he curves), and a final, the final is not cumulative, its just the stuff from test 2 through the final. Jesus is BOMB. He is always available to help, Mathematica is easy. With homework, if you do 50% of it, you get full credit and can get up to 200% in the HW sect.
