Menasco is an awesome professor. He does interesting work with very visual forms of math. He's super chill, but is good at knowing if you don't know what is going on.

Comment:
nice guy but not a good teacher. His lectures are boring and very confusing. Does more explaining theories and ideas rather than doing example problems. Tests were very difficult with the average between a 40 and 50%. I do not recommend this professor.

Comment:
He is a really nice guy and always willing to help if one has any questions during office hours or in class. BUT he is a horrible professor by nature.Poor guy was just born that way, not his fault. He does set 250pt at C but given his super hard exams its hard to do

Comment:
I didn't think he was that bad. He's a genuinely nice guy who will help you if you need it. His lectures aren't thrilling and he says "uh" a lot (he also gets mixed up because of dyslexia at times), but he puts a ton of notes on the board that help somewhat. The exams were fairly difficult, the quizzes were easy but were made up by the TA.

he's a nice guy but kinda weird. its a really difficult class and his tests are also difficult. if you ask him he'll help you. if you do go to class (which most don't) you must pay attention b/c he's disleksit(sp?) and you might need to correct him from time to time.

Basically it was like he was speaking a different language. Him and his "games" were a waste of time. I just stopped going and went off what I learned in HS and passed. Get Busch instead, the difference is like night and day.

Actually a pretty nice guy, obviously very intelligent. Doesn't really cover test material in class, though, and you rely heavily on former tests that he posts.

Avoid this professor like the plauge. Unclear lecture, unorganized examples in class, constantly is looking stuff up while giving his lecture, and the class is doing so bad that my 72 might end up being an A.

Save yourself & don't do it. The first time he said, "I forgot how to do this, let me look it up..." I stopped goes to class, as did everyone else. Boring, extremely hard tests. Read high school calc notes if possible, less confusing that him.

Very hard course with him, a lot of the class is failing. Tests are hard (avg grade = 35!. C = 50). OK at teaching (2 out of 5).

If you took calculus in High School, Don't listen to him because he makes you confused. He is a very smart guy, but he doesn't know how to teach.

He is really smart, but has no idea on how to convey knowledge to the students.
