Comment:

Overall a nice enough guy. Problem is his lectures are very dry, to say the least, and his grading mechanisms are quite flawed. You will more than likely be teaching yourself the material. The one good thing is what he teaches and gives in assignments is essentially the tests.

Comment:

He does not grade tests fairly in my opinion and only rewards you marks if you follow HIS process despite many of the problems having two or more approaches

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class to start with, but I found that Martin made the content more confusing than it should have been. You can learn the same amount from going to two weeks of his lectures as you can from watching a 12 minute YouTube video on the subject. He gives no application type questions, everything is theoretical, and only grades tests

Comment:

He's a nice guy but not a very good teacher, went to lectures during the beginning of the semester but stopped because they're confusing and often irrelevant to tests. You'll do far better in the class if you use the textbook and the assignments and lab manual questions he posts.

Comment:

Homework has some tough questions that are made harder than they need to be due to the prof only giving one or two examples per topic. He's quite friendly in his office though and can explain things a lot better so definitely utilise those hours.

Lacking of example, the assignment is nothing about the notes. He talked a lot about the definition. the definition is useless. He thought he is a good teacher, you know....

Comment:

His notes are lack of examples, even some of them are not completed. Most of the content are definition and hard to understand. the assignments are so tough without a clear definition list or a lot of examples. he is not a good choice for math classes.

Comment:

I loved this prof!! He took his time explaining every concept thoroughly. The questions on his midterm were very similar to the assignment questions there are no surprises on the quizzes, midterm or final. If you're good at math attendance is optional, if not his lectures will definitely help you.

Comment:

MATH122 is hard enough of a class as it is, especially to teach, but if Argerami is teaching it AVOID LIKE THE PLAUGE. The content of our class never lined up with SI, and Argerami was hard to understand with the way he went about doing his examples.

I took class with him .... the you really need to be regular in math classes especially with Martin.. His quizes and exams are really easy but his teaching method is terrible cus he only understands for himself.. pay more attention when he teaches row reduction, span,bases, eigen value etc...

Comment:

He is a good teacher. He is fair, clear and punctual. I am not so sure whether he cares for the students, but he did what he had to do and he did them very well. If you have basic math skills that are reqruired to take this class, he will make your life so easier. He also marks and returns the assignments and exams timely.

A tough subject to teach in any case, but he really tried to break the concepts down and explain things thoroughly and concisely. Couldn't think of a better prof for this material!

Comment:

Super hard class no matter who teaches. However, he wants you to pass. He'll over look the midterm if you fail and marks your process more than he marks your final answer. If you suck at math, take it from him and work hard.

Poor prof. Doesn't do enough examples in class or teach you enough to do the assignments. Midterms aren't like assignments or questions from the text book. He's rude when you ask questions. Avoid if possible.

He obviously knows the material, but if Math isn't your strong suit then you might have trouble. Reading the textbook is always helpful. His Assignments, Midterms and Final are Challenging but if you know the material you can do well. Definately not a class for slackers though, you have to practice and put effort into learning the material!

Comment:

Awesome professor. The course material itself is very tough, but his notes are clear and orderly, and he is helpful through email or office hours. He does simple examples in class, so the assignment questions require a lot of thought, but the class is definitely do-able. The midterms were tough, but if you knew the material, you could do well.
