Comment:
There's basically 3 midterms and 1 final. All his lectures are all posted on Catalyst and his website. There's lots of extra credit opportunities. If you take adjunct, it boosts your grade by 4% and it's very helpful on midterms and the final. He gives random quizzes, but if you put in the effort, you automatically get full points.

Comment:
Has his own way of thinking about math (that's nice), but not really clear, made simple things hard sometimes. Very fast speaking. Condescending and have extremely bad temper. Saying "Damn it" to students all the time.

Comment:
Can be a little difficult to follow in class, but allows for questions and is really helpful in ofice hours. He is perfectly clear about what is on the midterms and final. He follows the book so that it's easy to read up on anything you don't understand.

Comment:
it is differential equations, therefor, it is incredibly hard. i was taking two math courses and had to drop this one. He starts the class with a headfirst dive into the hard material. I didn't even know what hit me. good luck to everybody who attempts 307.

Osborne is a great professor. He is very clear and straightforward. His handouts are useful. He makes sure that his teachings are consistent with the text. He makes sure that you are prepared for the midterm and final. He is very concise and clear. Lectures are fast, but very fun. A great professor. I would take a class from him again.

Comment:
Enjoyable lectures, moves at a decently fast pace but thankfully the book for the course is actually helpful if you get confused. Easy going, good sense of humor in lecture, and decent examinations. And, above all else, lets you know his expectations, though not always before the homework is due... but better late than never!

Comment:
Math 310 is a difficult class and it's probably really hard to teach. Prof. Osborne did alright, but moved at a really fast pace, and assumed that student's had learn material in previous mathematic a excursion. If you come up not know some of the info, just ask and he'll explain at a little bit of a slower rate.

He was a great lecturer and worked well with students in office hours. He was also flexible when I had to take the final early.

Lectures are crystal clear and delivered with enthusiasm and humor. Homework assignments are typically hard, but divided up nicely into managable bites.
