Dr. Donald Franks is the sweetest, kind-hearted person. He truly makes sure that everyone understands the material. He is so funny, always cracking jokes. I haven't had an A in math since the 8th grade, now I have a 99% in his class. Dr. Franks is truly a wonderful person and professor.

He is an amazing professor that makes the lectures more interesting and always looks for participation. He also always asks around class to make sure everyone is understand the lecture and if you are confused he quickly helps you clear that confusion. He treats everyone as equals and makes everyone in his class smile.

Doc is one of the best professors I've ever had. He is easy because he teaches everything in such an interesting and simple way that learning comes naturally instead of forcefully. I pity the sorry souls that don't get to have this man as a math professor.

Comment:

Dr. Franks not only teaches extraordinarily well, he treats students like people. He jokes with us, laughs, and treats class like a positive opportunity. It is obvious he cares deeply about education. He is old-fashioned and doesn't utilize the technology in the classroom. But he doesn't need it. Dr. Franks is one of the best professors I've had.

Had him a couple years back and there is nothing left to be said that hasn't been said 100 times over. TAKE HIM AND DON'T LOOK BACK. It'll be one of the more enjoyable experiences of your academic career.

Dr. Franks is the BEST professor I've ever had. He is so good at explaining the topics clearly and there is never a dull moment during the class period. When the semester was over, I went back to him for tutoring in analytic methods and he was great help (got an A)! He is a great man who cares about his students. We need more professors like him!
