Comment:

Lectures were boring, unorganized and confusing. He wasn't a great teacher but he followed the textbook exactly. Assignment questions came from the textbook and were very fair. A lot of people failed the midterm so he made the final easy and the questions on the final came exactly from the assignments, which was helpful. An A is definitely doable.

Comment:

God forbid someone would have to do some work in order to learn new material instead of being spoon-fed!! This prof does an excellent job of teaching and is genuinely concerned with how well his students do. This prof would be excellent for ANY math course and I would recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

He's a great prof! It's obvious that the only people who don't like him are first year students who have not yet had the experience. His accent does not cause a great problem...his speech is much better than most Math Professors. He's great to go to with questions and very enjoyable in class.

Comment:

guys from 1001 shouldn't be complaining about him. this is a hard course on its own, whether or not it's him teaching it. his english it not the best in the world, but his notes provide more than ample help. and the man genuinely wants you to succeed.

He was a very friendly man and willing to help out a lot; however, he was a horrible prof, although he knew his stuff. The language barrier was difficult so therefore, it was hard to learn anything in class!

Comment:

The language barrier makes him useless as a prof. Despite how much he would like to help you, It's very difficult to understand what he says, and I don't think he has a clue what you are saying to him.

Comment:

Pretty thick accent, but not an issue if you pay attention. Very enthousiastic, showed a lot of concern for his students. I wish he'd make better use of the chaulkboard though, it gets cluttered up and difficult to take coherant notes from.

hard to understand his english. at the same time he couldn't understand his students. method of assigning assignments left alot to be desired, he would give you 200 problems for one assignment. over all tried to help. go to john O'rieley.
