Comment:
One of the most disorganized lecturer I have met. Often forget what he has covered and what not, and sometimes he prove the same theorem 3 times but skipping other important stuff. Lecture pace is unbelievably slow. Assignments and exams are extremely easy. Take his class if you want a bird course instead of actually learn much.

Comment:
Lee definately loves Geometry. The problem is that he has difficulty getting his class to love the subject due to slow paced lectures and a lack of prioritizing of the course material. His assignments were fun, but were not very helpful with studying for the final. One really nice thing is he posts all of his old exams...all 20 of them!

Overall a good professor. A little slow at times and assignments tended to lack enough physical questions (however Cabri was a very nice supplemental tool) but overall a great course and a great professor.

Prof. Dickey is probably the best prof I've had at UW. He will go out of his way to help you, put on 4 different review sessions and over 8 past finals to help you. I think he might retire soon. 2 things: his Lifetime Warantee (on his website) to his students and his awesome chalkboard sphere!

A nice prof. He's pretty helpful when doing the assignments. His lecturing are pretty clear but the course can get pretty abstract.

Very helpful! Explaines everything very well. Very approachable. Does not make you feel stupid even if you ask him something that was covered in class many times. Kind and respectful! I wish we had more profs like him!
