Comment:

Hes a decent professor and biocalculus is going to be hard no matter who you take, but he does a good job. He goes on a lot of rants where he tells you to do your work or else you wont be successful in the future

Dimos is a good professor just make sure to take his advice most of the times quizzes are the questions he uses as examples from lecture. I can see why people say he is tough however if you do not study for this class it will not be simple.

He's a good professor but he is one of those that like to talk about how many people fail his class. He does have an accent, it's not too hard to understand but sometimes I'd get lost because he talks fast as well.

Comment:

Dimos is such a wonderful professor. He's one of my favorite professors and has pretty dry humor. He is fair and straight forward and everything he teaches in class is present on the exam. He literally uses the same problems from class on the exams. So as long as you go to class and pay attention, work the problems, easy A! Extra credit too!!

Comment:

Originally liked him a lot, but ended up hating the class. If you don't already have a pretty good grip on Calc, you'll struggle a lot with him- he flies through examples and barely explains anything. I ended up with a 69.4% and he refused to round up. He's funny but I severely regret taking this class.

Comment:

Dimo's is a great professor. He comes off very stern at first but he is very nice and quite funny. He goes through lectures pretty fast so you must stay on task. study notes because all of the pop quiz questions come from them and some may be on the test. I enjoyed the class and would highly recommend anyone.

Comment:

Pretty straightforward teacher. Definitely show up to lectures because a lot of the types of problems that he shows are on the tests. Youll get out of class early quite a bit because he kind of zooms through the material during lecture. Webassign is pretty simple and you have the option to buy the book but you dont really need it.

Dimos is the best! Gives great lectures with lots of examples that help a lot on the tests. He does give 4 pop quizzes that are usually from the notes. The test are easy if you study the notes. He seems scary at first but is actually really funny and gives great advice. Take him if you can

Comment:

Definitely was intimidated by him in the beginning of the semester as a freshman, but turned out not to be that bad. He makes pretty repetitive jokes, but you gotta stick it through. Pretty fast at lecturing and will not slow down, so be ready to write. But just study the review he does before the test, and do the webassign and it will be an easy A

was super intimidated coming into calc and he was intimidating at first. But as the sem goes on he warms up to everyone and is hilarious and makes class more interesting. He wants everyone to succeed in life and will push you as far as you can. Best professor ever.

Dimos is kinda scary at first, but he's truly very kind and passionate about helping students learn. I've NEVER been good at math, but I managed to get the highest grade in the class on two tests. He makes you work for it, but he WANTS you to succeed. Super helpful in office hours and pretty funny!

Did not enjoy this class too hefty to take over the regular semester, retook over the summer and did fine. Too much bland note taking, examples did not help, better off using khan academy online.

Comment:

Prof Dimos is a hilarious teacher and takes the course seriously. be ready to take fast notes and do all the homework even if it's a lot because it's helpful practice for the tests. Pop quizzes are based on the notes and many of the problems come directly from them. Very caring when you go to office hours and wants to help you succeed :)

Professor Arsenidis is hilarious. His lectures are clear with lots of examples so if you pay attention you'll do perfectly fine. The homework does count for credit so donit. He doesn't do retakes or give practice tests but the problems are pretty basic and HE DOES ROUND GRADES. Great class

He's an amazing professor! Class is fast paced, so beware of that. He gives multiple examples for each concept, which can help you understand the material more. Dimos is also quite the joker and he gives really life changing quotes. 10/10 would take him again.

This class is so straight forward and is not difficult to get a good grade in. Dimos is fast and straight to the point he always wants to get out of class early and you copy notes on the board the entire class period but i mean its math what else do you expect?? material might seem hard at the moment but once you look back at it.. it was all Easy.

Comment:

To date, the hardest professor I've had hands down. Flies through the lecture material, barely slowing down. Very strict but lightens the mood with jokes. I barely passed with a C, but math is not my thing. I would not recommend, do not take him or beware. He is intimidating but willing to help. Stay on your toes and on top of your sh*t. Good luck.
