Comment:

If you have no desire to pass this class or learn anything, then you should 100% take this professor. He degraded me as a person and is not willing to help you at all. I went to every class and can confidently say that I know absolutely nothing about calc 2. In conclusion, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

Comment:

Ok i love math, and if you do too than he is an amazing professor! if you dont, you probably need someone who is able to explain things in great detail. i had no homework, about 3 exams, and a lot of participation. I bombed the first exam, cried a little and then killed it on the next 2. i walked away with an A and a deep respect for the professor

Terrible professor. Cannot clearly explain concepts. Tests are not difficult if you can go through the motions. Zero math learned.

Comment:

Entire class complained out loud DURING class about his formatting of tests and he didnt do anything to change it leaving many of us to fail exam after exam (completely different wording and problems than what you will study). I ended up failing, retook the class, and got an A my second time EASILY by literally just using what i knew already.

Comment:

He's an easy professor. You just have to participate A LOT. but by participation, i dont mean ask a lot of questions... answer them. Try to get them right though. He doesnt care about attendance and you dont need to be consistent about the HW. just hand it in before the end-of-semester deadline. I did all these things and got an "A".

Smart man. But Calc 3 is no walk in the park. Any professor you take is going to make the course challenging. However, he had trouble making the connection with most of the students. Exams are very hard but he will help you during the exam. Participate, do hw problems, and show that you care. You will work for the grade.

Comment:

Very intuitive guy. Calc 3 is a hard class by itself. I did horribly in the beginning of the semester but that was partially my own fault. If you pay attention and ask questions and think, you may end up doing well. I can say I learned all the material. He is a nice guy and helps a lot during exams. But his exams are also hard. He drifts off a lot too. The students who had him for calc 2 ended up doing very well but I, not as much. Just be prepared and don't slack and I think you will be fine.

Very nice guy. Funny and energetic. Obvious he loves math and he LOVES if students participate. It wouldnt be fair to say he is terrible but he was deff not a good prof for me. I learn for a bit in class and teach myself the rest using hw to help me for tests. He has no hw,no projects and no reviews. Tests are tough but ask him ANYTHING ,he'll help

Comment:

He just goes over textbook examples or he goes over problems then tweak the same problem over and over, his review are garbage, tests look nothing like the homework or lectures. Promised a curve and in the end didnt give it. More than 50% of the class failed

Comment:

Take his class. It helps if you are a girl though. Ask lots of questions, but go to tutoring first. He tends to get annoyed if you ask him the same thing over and over again. His winter session class is ridiculously easy. The guy is like 80 and runs around like he is 20. Interesting guy who is interested in helping students!

This prof is terrible. most of the class failed. doesn't know how to teach. He would talk about the most random things in class. finished all the material a month early because he rushes through everything and never goes over it. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF! He also give you no way of getting in touch with him if you need help or have questions.

Comment:

The worst math professor CSI has to offer. DOES NOT TEACH. Asks if you have questions, if you do he will attempt to do the problem (but is completely incomprehensible). He failed 3/4 of the class this semester. Last semester he gave out the answers to the test - to the entire class - because he was worried he would be fired for the massive failures

Cool guy, He is a good teacher that knows his stuff well. Some people might not like his way of approaching some individuals but he is generally good. We patient with him because he demands order.

Bad guy, he does not teach well. He is unhelpful and he is stubborn when you ask him questions. If you think you are strong and are teacher independent or you think you can handle learning by your self then think again. Because that?s what I though and it?s turning to be a big mistake.
