Easy test, easy quizzes. However, be prepared to teach yourself via the homework. Also, he is pretty much standing in front of the chalk board the entire time during the lecture so you cant really see what he's writing.

Professor Stoll made this math class the first I got an A in and really enjoyed. The exams are straight-forward. Go to class - take notes - do the homework - DO THE STUDY GUIDES!! They are very much like the exams. Stoll is straight-forward and knows that we all don't "love" math but makes this class bearable for all. I definitely recommend Stoll!

Come to class, try and understand his lectures, do the few homework problems he gives you out of the textbook, work out the Exam reviews and there should be no excuse for not making an A in the class. Exams are straight from the Exam reviews and Quizzes are very easy. Final is very similar to the Final exam review he gives out.

Comment:
Dr Stolls is so unclea and sloppy notes I did very well in Calc 2 but am struggling badly in his class. He laughs at you if you ask a dumb question Quizzes every class so you have to go, and the quizzes are not like the tests at all. Overall I have had to teach myself everything so far but i have to waste my time going to class to take the quiz

Comment:
Stoll is a great teacher who's very enthusiastic about math. He's always willing to answer questions in-class and during office hours, though he is slow to respond to emails. He teaches primarily through proofs, but explains them well enough that it's a non-issue. Homework and attendance aren't mandatory, but are recommended. Take him if you can.

Comment:
One of the better teachers for 241. Still a hard class. You must come to class and do some of the hw to get an A. Don't do all the hw or you will be doing it for hours. Quizzes are easy and tests are decent. Final was killer. Stoll is kind of arrogant and the way he gives bonus points is BS, but still he is a good prof

I enjoyed this class a lot! It's a helluva lot better then 142. Stoll really is enthusiastic about math, and that is probably the best part about this class. Sure, I can see how he may get on some people, but if you just show up and listen to what he has to say, you'll get what you need! Plus, half of every class is spent going over homework!

Comment:
Stoll wrote the analysis book that most USC professors use, but he doesn't expect you to know every detail from it. He doesn't expect you to prove anything by yourself (except on hw). Tests are as straightforward as you can get with proofs. Quizzes on definitions are easy. He's very nice and will always take questions...just ask them!

Comment:
First, the bad. I was taught math the easier ways back in high school, and not taught the proofs. He teaches all proofs, so get ready to spend some hours deciphering your notes. Failed my first test. However, once acclumated to the class, it becomes much easier to follow him, he goes over questions, and holds review day before the test. Practice!
