Comment:

Statistics (math 119) is a tough class for a lot of people . I was dreading the class. Juden was very straightforward in explaining what we needed to know to get through the class. COLORS! He uses different colors on the dry erase board which makes everything easy to keep track of. There was a lot of homework but its only 10% of total grade.

Comment:

He is a good teacher. His teaching speed is kind of fast and you need to be good in Math, know the basic stuff before enrolling, and be a fast learner. On the other side he explains almost everything perfectly and will help you with any question during class. There are very few pop quizzes and exams, and not a lot of hw, but don't do it last minute

Comment:

WAY TO MUCH HW, each HW section had about 30 problems each. Says the problems are from the HW but way tooo many questions. Reccomends to attend PSP and other helpful people. Very confusing though a nice guy. Writes everything with words instead of showing. Hopes you to work out a problem before explaining it.

Comment:

The class goes super fast but his tests and quizzes are easy as long as you are keeping up with the homework. He does cram a bit too much into the lectures though and can be extremely confusing at times. But all in all he is a super cool dude. Just wish he would slow down a bit.

Salute to Prof. Alex Juden, he is one of the best math profs. I actually recommend any student to select Prof. Juden. He is an Engineer, so who likes to study math!!!; its better for him to learn it from an Engineer who could make the student understand the applications of math in the best ways .

Comment:

Cool dude but he goes sort of fast. He also doesn't really have that good of teaching tactics to make you remember things. He typically will put you in a group and make you figure it out and write it one the board. Then if you made a mistake he'll just fix or correct it. You call that teaching? no, and I cant believe teachers are getting paid.

Comment:

Juden is a really hilarious dude, and he really knows his calculus. The problem is he is not very clear when teaching it, and is brutal with the class curriculum. Had a 79% in the class and he wouldn't work with me to bump it up to a B. Lots of pop quizzes, no extra credit, and rushed teaching. Wouldn't recommend taking again.

Professor Juden is a fantastic professor, very knowledgeable in math, and wants to help everyone succeed. If you show up to class everyday, participate, and keep up with the homework you will pass this class no problem. I would take Juden again for any math class I have to take.

Comment:

He goes way too fast. He also covers a section for like a day and 2 days later gives an exam with the material that he barely taught and gave like 2 examples for. Only take this class if you want something fast and are good at learning at a fast rate.

Nice teacher but rushes through lessons and does not have great teaching methods at all and teaches his class at a very fast pace. Its math you cant rush math. A lot of hw and gave a exam every 2 weeks. tough grader as well. If you struggle with math do not take his class.

Very patient and has a great attitude for teaching. Gives an exam every 2 weeks and 10 quizzes which are both very straight forward so make sure you are staying on top of the homework. His teaching style is very fast though so make sure you keep up. His exams are also very easy but make sure you do the homework.

Comment:

He is a decent professor I will say that. Very patient and is willing to help you whenever you have questions although he may confuse you at times. His tests consist of about 10 to 14 questions and are pretty straight forward. The biggest issue I had with him is that he literally gives you no time like less than a week to study for the final.

it's obvious he cares about his students but his teaching style is very high speed for anyone that isn't super into math or knows anything about calculus going into it. Must stay on top of the homework to grasp anything taught in class. No extra credit or late work allowed.

Comment:

Took Math 70 in summer. Mr. Juden helped me realize the difference between 'remembering' how to solve a problem, and 'understanding' how to solve a problem (i.e. why it works, and how it is applied in the real world). Very available after class and outside of class. Responds to e-mail. Pop Quizzes. No extra credit. MathXL. Homework is to study. :)

Comment:

I do not recommend taking him, he has no leniency whatsoever when it comes to grading. He gives pop quizzes like there is no tomorrow. If you are not good at math or teaching yourself I do not recommend him at all. He loves to call you up randomly to the board even when you already state that you do not know how to do the problem.

Best math professor I have ever taken!! He's hilarious and encourages questions and participation from the whole class. His pace is just right. Not too slow, but not too fast. Easy to understand and keep up with. He would allow time for you to practice independently and with peers on practice problems. Passing tests relied on your own practice (hw)
