Comment:
Very passionate and helpful. He makes everything seem easy in class but doesn't actually explain much; if you go into his office hours he explains things perfectly. Not an easy class but he is eager to help.

Comment:
A very, very nice guy but rather loopy. Says he doesn't assume that students have had prior calculus experience but most certainly does. A great guy if you've had some calc background but difficult if you haven't.

Bourdon is one of the better teachers in the math department. He is incredibly clear and makes the class very easy to follow. His tests are fair and not too difficult. Definitely worth taking!

Comment:
I took Calc 2 with Professor Bourdon and I'm really glad I did. I had to work pretty hard for an A- but I thought I learned a lot. He is really nice and always willing to help. Do the homework because he gives you quizzes that are made up entirely of homework problems. Tests are difficult - you will actually need to study.

Great guy. I took calc for a gen ed and was very eager to get it over with, but Prof Bourdon made it completely manageable. There is a fair amount of work, but expectations are very clear and the notes are very organized and easy to follow. Great prof if you are taking a gen ed.

Amazingly nice, and his Math-jokes made it a little less painful to wake up for an 8 a.m. math class. Was willing to use office hours to explain anything that was hard to understand during class, no apt. necessary.

Exceptionally accessible. I came into Calc. 101 having performed poorly in almost every math class to date, however remedial. So, everyday I went to Prof. Bourdon. Everyday. He was always there and more than understanding, even though he's a bit loopy.
