This guy was the worst. I couldn't understand most of what he said, I couldn't understand his writing either. His tests are hard, although he gives you a practice test. I loved calculus before this class and he killed that love.

Comment:

Everyone that talks about his smell and not going to class should just shut up. If you put in the time and actually DO the homework and do the practice problems he gives you a WEEK before the test (going in to him when you don't understand something) you will do just fine in this class. Granted it's not easy but you learn a lot

This guy is awful. Difficult to understand his lectures, although most of it is verbatim from the book. Quizzes are very difficult and have numbers on integrals that take more time to integrate than what is given. Get out asap.

Comment:

God help us all. This man smelled funky and was covered from several lectures worth of chalk. He also wore the same pants almost every day. Oh, and he couldn't teach. His tests were extremely hard (he put the hardest problems from the book on the test and made them harder).He also said weird things,like zewo and compootation. He also groaned a lot.

Comment:

Avoid him like the plague. I dropped and took another professor instead; best thing I've ever done for my GPA. You may be thinking "It can't be THAT bad..." But trust us, it's worse. Not to mention, he is filthy, doesn't wash his clothes for several days in a row, and is unbearable to be around because he reeks. DROP DROP DROP!

Comment:

This man is very intelligent and knows the subject but that won't help you any. He is completely incapable of passing that knowledge on. His tests and quizzes are pretty much impossible to complete in the allotted time due to difficulty and pure length and don't expect much partial credit because he hates giving it.

Comment:

The absolute worst professor I've had in math ever! All other math courses I've taken up to Linear Algebra I've gotten an A but not in his class. No one in the class achieved an A when I took his class, the grading scale for exams is unfair for the difficulty of the exams, the quizzes are impossible at times because you only have 15 minutes. AVOID!

Comment:

If you are reading this because you are wondering what kind of professor you have, I would be very afraid. This guy's exam are terribly difficult and you can barely understand a word he says. Not to mention he drools when he speaks, which brings me to my next point... he is WAY too old to still be teaching. Basically, run for your life.

Comment:

Weird accent, or speech impediment, could never quite put my finger on what it was. Not good at all at teaching the complicated concepts of Calc 3, I got an A, luckily, because I had an outstanding foundation in Calc 1 and 2. However, most of the class either dropped or failed. Good luck with this guy.

Comment:

He is a very smart man who knows how to do every problem but doesn't teach well. If you go to class and copy down the examples he does, you'll be fine for the quizzes if you study them. Tests are a little long but I found that partial credit did actually help if you just write down as much as you think you can.

Knows how to do all of the math the class requires, but is not a good teacher at all; instead he does math in front of you, assigns homework, then gives very long and wordy tests.

Comment:

At one time, he may have been hot. His age makes him incomprehensible. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD ENGLISH COMPREHENSION, get another professor NOW. He truly cares about his students. If you want to understand the subject well, read the book and ask him any questions that are not covered within the text. Take mercy on him, and help him cross 13th St.
