Comment:

He is a tough grader but he explains the material very well and will tell you what you did wrong and how to fix it. You don't get much homework. Before every exam you will have a class study session and get pizza. If you have any questions he will answer them. He is a very good professor and cares about his students.

With weekly quizzes and online homework due every Friday . Calculus is a challenging subject but with Bardzell its fun and easy. Bardzell breaks down and explains the logic of the topic and shows you how and why things work the way they do. If you put in the work and practice and ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand and you'll survive this class.

Alright teacher moves very fast. I had him for Abstract Algebra 1 and by halfway through the semester we were learning stuff my friend was learning in Abstract Algebra 2. He seems like an alright guy and might be better in other classes but not abstract algebra

Comment:

Dr. Bardzell is probably the best math professor in Salisbury University. His tests are hard, but he explains the concepts well and tells you what is going to be on the test. He is harsh grader when it come to notation. Any small mistakes will cost you points. Homework is minimal but participation counts toward your final grade.

Calc two is a tough class but hes a good teacher. he wants you to understand, hes efficient, and he knows his stuff. tests are doable if you study, but is tough on work shown. hes very understanding as well and he has a sense of humor, i would definitely recommend him for others debating about weather to take him, youll learn a lot and wont hate it

Explanations are abstract and does not give examples. If you are the type of person who needs concrete examples he is probably not the professor for you.

Comment:

One of my favorite math professors ever. He's enthusiastic and exciting when he lectures, and he is understanding and helpful if you're confused. On Fridays he asks people to put homework problems on the board and he'll love you if you volunteer. Don't be afraid to go to his office; he is encouraging and helpful. I wish I had time to take him again

Dr. Bardzell is an amazing teacher who really takes pride in what he does. He's always willing to help students and go the extra mile. He explains problems very well, and keeps lectures interesting. You have a weekly quiz and test can be challenging but fair, as long as you do the book problems he assigns test and quizzes are as expected.

Really great teacher. Did well at explaining every topic. Always answers questions fully. Does a review session before tests to answer questions. Gives plenty of optional practice problems to help prepare. Buys food for the class occasionally.

Bardzell is a fantastic math teacher. He loves math and is an incredibly smart person. He sometimes can be a little difficult to understand, but they second you mention something he will try his hardest to clarify anything for you. DO THE BOOK WORK, NOT JUST THE WEBASSIGN!

I love him as a teacher. He assigns a lot of homework but you don't have to do it all. Do what you need to in order to understand. He explains everything and is always willing to help. It isn't an easy grade but a fair one. If you do the work and go to class you are fine. Learned a lot!

Bardzell is awesome! I'm a math major and have had him for 3 of my math classes so far. If you can take him i recommend him. It won't be an easy A but you will REALLY learn a lot. Just do the homework, study a little, keep up with the work and you'll get a B.
