Comment:

I wouldn't recommend taking him, he doesn't not know to teach the material! Even if you asked him a question, he wouldn't be able to explain it properly. Attendance and homework is not mandatory. He also drops your lowest exam grade an he gives a review sheet but the exams are still difficult. Make sure you get extra help from somewhere else.

Comment:

Nice professor. He assigns optional homework for you to practice, but does not count towards your grade. He replies to emails and questions. His explanations can be a bit confusing, but ask for help if you need it. Study your notes and do your homework, and you can easily pass this course.

Comment:

If you learn it before, take him, that will easy for you. If you are not, don't take him. Never take attend, no homework to submit. Very confuse what did he talking about, very confuse what did he writing about. Not helpful, just study the review sheet.

Comment:

Don't worry about your grades as long as you understand the material. He's pretty easy on your grade for the semester despite your grades for exams. Exams are challenging on the QC level, but pretty easy for "real" university standards.

Comment:

He's a fairly lenient grader with exams, slightly less so with homework. As long as you know all of the definitions you're guaranteed at least a 50% on exams. He's not that great with questions. You end up teaching yourself more with this class by working on assignments. Heavy note-taking is involved, but you don't need to buy the book.

Comment:

Don't take him unless you like maths and would be able to study on your own if needed. He doesnt take attendence, HW or any thing but you gotta do HW,it's helpful for you though. His grades are good and he drops the lowest test. He gives Reviewsheets which are mostly in the tests. I personally would take him again for his easiness. Btw I got A+

This professor is nice, but doesn't know how to present the material clearly, thus making lots of students not doing well in some HW assignments and exams. Don't take with him.

Avoid this teacher unless you really need to take the class. Does not take attendance or check homework.You really don't understand what he is saying and you wont learn anything from him. To pass you have to study on your own.

Comment:

He does not use the book. His notes are all he uses, and all the tests and HWs are based on them. He collects and grades HW. The midterm is just definitions and EASY examples. The final is HARD, but it's very curved. You have to memorize the definitions because 50% of each test is just definitions. Not too hard. Other 333 professors are harder.

Comment:

He just talks and nothing else. If you take 310 with him, it's just proofs of all of the calculus courses you've taken. Don't bother with the book because he only uses his notes. His HWs are harder than the tests. He curves, so if the whole class did bad, you can pull out a C with a 50. He's better than Metas so if you need 310, take Weiss.

Comment:

Overall he is a kind man but his teaching skills are not on the same level. Attendance is not mandatory & he probably even won't recognize your face ever unless you question him a lot. Hw is not mandatory but it only works in your benefit. If you don't do it, you won't learn. If you're stuck with this prof, i suggest lots of outside help

he is not a bad professor. class is not that hard. hw is givin almost everyday but it is not required but it will help u for the exams. he gives out review sheets before the exam which is basically the exam but it is easier. he is very passionate about math. and he gives a nice curve and drops the lowest test score. i would take him again

Do not take him unless you are really good at math. If you were in precal honor in high school, you would understand him. His explanation is just soo bad. Exam is not that hard. Easier than review sheet.
