Professor Napier truly cares about his students and their success, and it shows through his preparation for each lecture. Although the honors material is challenging, it makes the non-honors material feel much easier (which is more frequent on exams).

Math023 is a difficult class and will eat up a lot of your time. Professor Napier has a deep understanding of the material at hand. He knows his students' names and is my first professor (sophomore) who I feel like has truly cared about me. GREAT GUY. I learned a ton, thanks professor Napier!

Comment:

Great at providing plenty of examples during lecture to illustrate the concepts and explains the theoretical aspects of the material well which creates a nice blend. His class is tough and you have to work hard to do well but if you put in the effort, then you can do well, learn a lot, and gain from having a challenging and beneficial experience.

Comment:

His lectures are actually stressful to go to in that he is half yelling sometimes, stares at the board looking very concerned, and jogs from one end of the board to the other. He assigns far too much homework (both online and written which are especially long and tedious). His "very clever" and "great" hw and exam problems can be found online??

Extremely nice guy and great professor. Can sometimes be confusing because he is too smart. Lectures can go slightly too fast. Assigns 3 homework assignments a week which can get a little tedious.

Comment:

One of the kindest and caring professors ever. He is way too smart to teach the course, so sometimes the lectures can get confusing because he adds additional information/gets on tangents. Material can be sometimes confusing, so you have to do homework and attend lectures. However, he is super helpful if you need clarification on anything.

Prof. Napier's teaching style wasn't something I was used to. He was too smart for his own good, and had a hard time teaching the class. Wouldn't take him again, but didn't do poorly in the class.

Tried and failed to make the material interesting, just not a teaching style that really works for me. Nice guy but ended up teaching myself what I could and it totally killed my GPA.

MATH 023 is a hard class no matter who teaches, but he tries hard to make the material sounds easy as possible. He sincerely answers questions from us. Would recommend him for any other classes.

Comment:

The tests are difficult (quizzes aren't so bad), but I would HIGHLY recommend taking his class since he writes the midterms and finals; my friends from other professors were sometimes lost... He does go a little fast in his lectures but he explains concepts very well. He really cares about his students and tries to make things easy to understand.

Comment:

Take advantage of his availability during office hours and after class EARLY; your understanding of calculus will increase drastically, hopefully. Prof. Napier will take an interest your struggles in calc if you approach him. His side comments in class are hilarious. STUDY the textbook and UNDERSTAND at least 95% of the material! Knowing problems

Excellent Professor! MATH401 is the hardest course I've ever taken in any subject. I bombarded his office hours, and I'm not doing Great in the class, but he always greets me with a smile and answers my silly questions. He really cares about his students and even if my grades don't show it, I really feel like I've learned the material

Nonstop homework and impossible exams. I seriously have never gotten below an A in a math class and I worked my ass off and just failed the 2nd 4 oclock. Gotta say if you're taking calc 3 at Lehigh Napier is your best bet.........
