Comment:

Dr. Walk does an amazing job with teaching a math class, since he does a very well job with keeping the classroom engaged at 8 or 9 in the morning, four days a week. He gives all students a chance to pass 221, since you retake the first test unlimited times until you get 75%. One of my favorite math professors I've ever had.

Comment:

The amount of hw in this class was absolutely ridiculous. Sometimes getting multiple assignments today. Some online some on paper. Very hard to keep track. He takes forever to grade anything so you have no idea if you are doing things correctly. Tests are impossible to finish in time allowed. His office looks like a bomb filled with paper exploded

Comment:

Dr. Walk has a tough class (but what about calc I & II isn't hard?) but keeps things interesting with good visuals/PowerPoints. He's a great lecturer, and if you don't understand the content his office hours are super accessible. Also he is a master of puns and if you're paying attention at 8AM you'll be loling.

Dr. Walk is a wonderful professor. This class was tough, but he works very well with students who are willing to put in the work and does a great job of answering questions without making his students feel bad. Despite the amount of work that was required, this was by far my favorite mathematics course that I have taken.

This class requires a lot of work and time. Do not start assignments last minute, you will be stressed out. Tests are hard, study not only the rehearsal exams, but also notes. There are usually things on the test that are not on the rehearsal exams. Pretty average teacher, will help you if you ask.

Comment:

Dr. Walk is a good professor. He is very helpful in not only teaching the class but teach students how to study and learn the material better. He is a tough grader but did allow for opportunity to improve grades at the end of the semester. He was able to teach in a way that all learning styles should take good information away from his lectures.

Comment:

Professor Walk is a very entertaining professor. This being said, he seems to have put much more time into his jokes, than he did preparing his content for lecture. His teaching style is most frequently 10 minutes of lecture, then a worksheet for the remainder of class. He also assign homework in 4 separate locations, and writes his own textbooks.

Comment:

I took both Math 221 and 222.. He is really amazing teacher who really cares for his students. He might be tough for some students but trust me, work hard you will not regret taking his class. Though in your first class, he might give you questions that might me out of syllabus which might make you afraid. But amazing, inspiring teacher in SCSU.

Comment:

Dr. Walk probably works harder than anyone else in the department. He instituted a 'Mastery' grading system this semester for the first time. This system is great for students but an incredible amount of work for the professor. He is consistently polite and respectful, easily contacted, and a patient teacher.
