Best Professor Ever. Took time to get to know entire class on a personal level. Wrote personal notes on the back of each exam. Combination of lecture and group work, and always takes homework questions at the beginning of class. Homework isnt graded, all grades come from quizzes and exams. Two quizzes are dropped. All in all a fantastic professor.

BEST math professor on campus I think. Do some of the homework, show up to class, learn the concepts, and youll do fine, even in calc 2 tests are kind of tough but really caring professor and always available for help

Comment:

Very hard grader, like way to hard. He isn't testing you on concepts he is testing you on knowing the hardest problems. "I'm not trying to be picky but..." Homework is ehh and quizzes are easy. Test will get you though unless you know all the hardest stuff. Also I feel like he talks to you like a child or dog, he doesn't mean to, but he is.

Comment:

Best math professor you could possibly have here. I had him for Calc II and Calc III. He takes terrible classes and makes them passable. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will fail if you don't go to class. Legitimately cares about his students and will take the time to get to know you. Incredibly down to earth person. Tim Deis for president!

Hands down the best math prof/teacher I've ever had. He explains things thoroughly, gives reasonable practice problems and tests, wants to help everyone, and has a solid class structure. I left Calc 2 feeling like I near mastered the material, even though it's not an easy course.

Nicest Professor on campus, he actually wants to see every one of his students succeed. Calc III can be tough, however the exams and quizzes are similar to class examples and homework. Do the practice problems and you shouldn't Have a problem

Really enjoys teaching and wants to help everyone be successful. Tests and quizzes are identical to homework problems and there really are no hard curve balls. Learning calc3 was interesting and worth it with Tim!

Comment:

Deis is the best option for a math teacher; especially Calc 2. He gives clear instructions on what he expects on the tests and quizzes. He does not assign any homework but does post on D2L problems and recommends everybody to do them. I did them all, it really helps! Also, he cares about his students and tries to learn their names from day 1.

Tim is the best math professor for Calculus 2. He knows his stuff and makes it goal to learn everybody's name. He also cares about his students and how well they are doing. I would recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

Calc 3-You know exactly what every quiz and test will cover. Kinda goofy but knows what he is talking about and cares about his students. Has tons of office hours and gives recommended problems that are not required to be done but are recommended. Good split between concept and examples too. Would definitely take again.

Comment:

Tim Deis is really nice. He explains conceptually and clearly. In class, he puts you in groups to do group practice of the day's topic and has group practice most days. He's not too much about memorization, which is what Calc 2 is a lot about most times. He also is always in the Math Learning Center to help outside of class.

He is a fantastic professor and a must take! One of the best math teachers I've ever had. Goes above and beyond to help the students and lectures are all example questions. Very clear on what will be tested and is fair.
