I took Jill Halpern for CSP and she really made sure I learned the material. If you are willing to put in the work, she will do as much as she can for you. She is a great person- as a teacher and on a personal level. Would recommend any one to take her class

I wouldn't have been able to make it through Calc without Jill. She's seriously the kindest person I know. She truly has an act for teaching. She completely devotes herself to her students and I'm beyond grateful for that.

She is the best teacher I have ever had in my life. This class requires a ton of work but it is so worth it. TAKE IT. It will be a long and hard experience but in the end you come out a better mathematician/critical thinker.

Jill is hands-down the best Calc. I and II professor you could have at U-M. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable of the material and concepts, but she is a down-to-earth, caring, and helpful person. She does everything to help and encourage her students to succeed. Both courses were made soo much easier because of her approach to teaching.

Jill is hands down the best teacher at UofM! She puts my other professors to shame!She is extremely helpful and genuinely cares about the success of her students! She assigns a good amount of HW but only b/c she knows practice make perfect! I highly recommend her (both math 115 and 116).I LOVE HER and wish she taught UL Math!

Comment:

Jill cares about her students but is sometimes unclear. She doesn't spend much time going over topics in class and will only give a few examples and then give extensive quizzes that in my opinion are much harder than the actual exams. She is willing to help though and makes learning the subject a lot easier. Expect a lot of outside homework.

Comment:

This is hands down the best teacher I've had at U of M so far. She's an extremely helpful professor and she explains the material well. The class is a lot of work so I wouldn't suggest taking this class if you have several other difficult classes at the same time. However, the workload actually helps prepare you for the exams.

Jill is the best. I had her for a whole yr (calc 1&2)and i dont think i cared about my education or my grade more than she did. She went way and beyond to help me, at times I almost didn't want her to help me anymore. But I'm glad she didn't stop. I dont think there will be another teacher who is so fun, exciting, helpful, and passionate like her.

I've taken AP Calc before, and hearing Jill explain things made them even that much clearer! CSP is a great program and Jill really knows what she is talking about!
