Comment:

One of the better math classes and professors I've had. ODEs still wasn't exactly easy, but he wasn't trying to trip us up either. Fairly clear and interesting lectures. Helpful in office hours and seemed genuinely interested in helping us learn. Quizzes and tests weren't too bad, though doing and understanding the HW and lectures were important.

Comment:

Amazing professor willing to help you if you need it. He emailed answers to student's questions to the entire class when he thought they'd be useful. Also, there was a lot of opportunity for extra credit and he dropped the lowest quiz grade(s) depending on how many quizzes there are. Would recommend for any course.

Comment:

He is the absolute man. The textbook for his course only costs like $15 so that's instantly a plus. Quizzes are easy if you do at least some of the assigned homework. Final is more challenging but very manageable. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities online for extra practice.

Hands down the best math prof and class I've ever had. Teaches really well and super helpful. Quizzes aren't hard but exam will be more challenging. Highly recommend this class and Prof Fehribach to anyone seriously interested in math.

Great professor. Weekly quizzes are great because the lowest one drops, and homework is optional. He is sometimes confusing at the very beginning of a new topic, but it always comes together in the end. Would absolutely recommend.

Comment:

Exceptional teacher, aside from the derivation of curvature. I think he lost everyone on that. Go to class and pay attention, and you will get an A. Also, he offers plenty of extra credit opportunities with optional online homework assignments. Even his textbook homework is optional, with homework performance being graded by the weekly quizzes.

Comment:

The quizzes are really easy, and his colored chalk is helpful. He doesn't go too quickly, which is good for student comprehension. The homework isn't collected/checked, and the optional webwork assignments are worth extra credit. I'm having an easier time in his calc 4 class than all my friends are in calc 3.

He has a cute sailor hat and I love when he uses colored chalk because it's helpful to review notes. When you can't make office hours he will always schedule a time to meet. I loved him.
