Comment:

This man is the worst professor ever. There is an exam in his class tomorrow and he still has not posted notes online or given the numbers out for the homework that he assigned the day before the quiz, not to mention that he has no syllabus and just happened to mention that the next class meeting would have an exam. He yells constantly.

Comment:

He is not a very good professor at all. He moves extremely fast, and assumes you know everything so that he won't have to teach it. The quizzes and test were often in a format different from the way he taught or in the book. He also assumes the entire class is engineering majors. If you don't understand engineering terminology, I'm sorry.

Prather is an awesome teacher if you want an easy A in Diff EQ. Just follow the patterns in the online quizzes by doing them over and over until you get it then bam thats 40% of your grade. Just make sure that if you miss a week of school or something, that you make SURE that he corrects it! This guy will run away from you sometimes, so be quick!

OKAYYYYYYYYYYY! This dude is amazing. Exactly like the nutty professor. If he can't draw a picture, he'll say "HOW ABOUT YOU COME UP AND DRAW IT" while flailing his arms and laughing. Easy A.

Comment:

Hilarious, take home test for every test. He makes it impossible for you to not make an A without learning a thing. During our common time final which he only made worth (10%), people openly talked during it exchanging answers and threw a football across the room. He did not care about a thing, just said settle down once.
