Comment:

The prof is good, but the class material is somewhat difficult. There was a lot of material to cover. The tests are on the easy side. There's homework every week (about 5 questions). Homework, two tests, and the final are each worth 200 out of 600. He drops the lowest 100. He's certainly one of the good math professors.

Comment:

He is a very nice professor. He is lenient. Easy to understand. The class is not easy by itself but he tries to work it out to make it easy. Has homework once every week or so. 2 midterms and 1 final. He puts up a sample exam and goes over them. The exams are somewhat similar to the sample exam.

Comment:

he's a really good teacher! hw is not mandatory, which is nice. not particularly hard material, esp because everyones already made it through cal 1 and 2. cal 3 is pretty simple, and he's a really clear teacher. tests are really simple, even if you dont do the hw. he's an awesome teacher! and really nice! and clear! no accent, loud enough voice.

Comment:

I am currently taking him for Cal 3 and he is the best Math prof. I ever had. His lectures are clear, HW is not for a grade but you should do them cuz the tests are basically homework problems. Straight forward tests and are pretty easy. I recommend you take him. Only bad thing, he writes on the white board so dont miss class.

Comment:

he is really really clear and lenient. my fave math prof. he's also really nice if u need to ask a question. his tests are easy too. only bad thing is that if you miss class, you have to get the notes for class from someone else because he writes on a whiteboard. but when i missed class i could keep up without the notes by looking in th bk

Comment:

Good orof,if you like math and are interested in understanding the concept, you will like him.Pretty lenient grading, his online quizzes, lab quizzes,& test each add to 100. Evaluates the final grade out of 500 and drops the lowest test grade. But not very helpful out of class. Uses only blackboard. Difficult esp. for disabled students .

Comment:

Good teacher if youre good with math. The reason i say that is because he doesnt assign any hw for a grade, i never thought id find myself saying this, but Hw will help you learn the material and is helpful if you have trouble understanding anything. Drops the lowest test grade which is helpful if you mess up on a test.

Pretty alright teacher. Teaches in a clear, concise manner, and is very nice. However he does not offer as much outside help as other professors do.

Best teacher for Mathematics if you learn by example best. Doesn't pick the most confusing problems to test from, only likes to test understanding. Helpful with questions. Let's you use note cards on tests, very helpful if you're like me.
