Comment:
He knows his stuff being the course coordinator, but has a hair-trigger temper that can straddle the line between commanding a classroom (he'll call you out if he sees you on your phone, fair enough) and just flying off the handle completely (told the class one day we couldn't go to the bathroom anymore because it was disrupting him).

Comment:
Extremely bad teacher. He verbally insults students who ask him questions in class. He grades unfairly and doesn't know how to teach, constantly mixing up problems on the board. He doesn't teach the class well, as he repeats the same thing every lecture and adds one new thing each time. Barely any examples done in class. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

The class is difficult but anyone can study for it. The topics can be challenging but if you understand the concepts you should be fine right? NO. NO NO NO. This man is a demon. On the common he puts stuff we have never seen before. The test is broken up into 6 questions and they each have 2-3 parts each. But each part takes 10-15min. get rid of he

He's not the most cheery guy, but he knows how to teach. Pay attention and study from past exams and you should be more than fine.

Really knows what he is talking about and wants his students to take the class seriously. His quizzes are very helpful and test your knowledge to know what you need to work on for the exams.

took him for 337 and he's easier here. maybe it's the material but he's an easier prof in this class. calc 3 can be easy, it's alot of visualization and understanding what the question is asking. he does his best, but towards the end he crammed a bunch of material and it was tough to follow. i'd probably retake for a better grade.

he's careless to put it softly. he knows what he's doing and everything. but the way he teaches is dry and disengaging. he can lull you to sleep if you let him. only good thing is that he gives you all the homework answers with notes. so at least you have the chance to save yourself because he sure would give a damn. avoid him if possible

Comment:
Terrible professor, and an even worse coordinator. I don't know what the hell the math department was thinking by letting this guy teach the only section, as well as be the coordinator for math 213b this semester. His exams were HARD. I had last semester's exams, and they were child's play compared to this guy's exams.

This is a very smart professor who does a good job teaching this course. You learn a good amount of material that is applied in real world problems. The class is a bit hard but if you work hard he will help you

Assumes everyone should be able to do everything to get an A. The truth is everyone has an area which they are good at. He has a tendency to falsely accuse a student if they are not performing well. Doesn't give anyone a break! To be Frank he does not like himself!

Two reasons why over 50% of the students have dropped his class. 1. The lamest textbook which doesn't help you 2. His way of teaching-makes way too many mistakes on the board. He struggles with the problems and assumes that everybody knows this stuff before coming in.

I have done everything in my power to get an A but he gave me a B+. He is a rascal and he makes the people who are math majors look at math in a different way. Having him will make you disgusted with the math department for life.

He gave us the worst book! He does way too much theory that it will completely brainwashed whatever u knew from Calc to Diff Eq. I was a superior "A+" student until I had him. He is the worst professor. He is extremely rude and his exams he makes are infinetly harder than the textbook problems. If you don't nail his quizzes he'll give u a 0!

This guy really hates his job, lol. He thinks no one is listening or cares. He shouldn't be so hard on himself...Generally, he's a good teacher. DO THE HOMEWORK. Homework/practice = success.
