Comment:

He was always available every afternoon to answer questions. If you do the work and come prepared with meaningful questions he was extremely generous and helpful. If nobody asks questions in class he assumes everything is clear therefore he can proceed at a fast pace.

Comment:

This man is a legend. He is a fighter, a warrior, a mark of true genius, who lives in a dystopian society where Mathematics has gone to ruin. He communicates in a strange language which only the chosen ones can understand, and does not mess around by setting an easy course. The way to succeed in his class is to mimic his genius and work hard.

Comment:

A great person, but not so great professor. His knowledge of math is so advanced and he doesn't quite remember how to explain math concepts in a way that is simple and easy to follow. Don't be scared away, if you like math and self-teaching Ad Cal is a great class.

Nice person, but makes too many mistakes in class, which add up to a huge confusion after class.

Comment:

Not the greatest, but certainly not as bad as people make him out to be. If you speak up and get him to clarify things, he can be pretty good. Assignments and final are very similar. Nice guy if you talk to him

Writes and speaks in a made up language. Makes mistakes every day, doesn't realize til end of class. Explains things by saying "it is self evident by the theorem." Worst teacher in the universe.

Comment:

Relatively chill guy... unless he's your math teacher. Lacks communication abilities and explains cal 3 in terms of math that one hasn't encountered yet. Extremely poor teacher, so much so that all learning on my part was done using the textbook. AVOID.

Comment:

One class was enough to prove the rumors true. Illegible scribbles on the board, with no explanation whatsoever, and no book nor coursepack to follow. It was such a relief to drop the class!!!

Comment:

Awful, awful prof. Fantastic mathematician, I'm sure... but absolutely terrible teacher. Doesn't speak in class, just writes formulas with no explanations. He doesn't write linearly, but all over the place. This is a self-teach class. He doesn't know how to write an exam - one semester, it's super easy, the next, it's really tough. Stay away.

Comment:

PLEASE do not make the same mistake I did. I went into this class despite the horrible things I heard thinking to myself "I can do this," but no..unless you're having a really light workload such as to permit enough time for you to teach yourself calculus 3 out of a textbook then don't take his class. His lectures are almost impossible to follow.

Jonsson saved me money!!! I used to go rent a good horror movie every week. Instead, I can now just go to math class. Same effect.

Comment:

Friendly, approachable prof who clearly has a very good understanding of the material he's teaching... unfortunately, he doesn't know how to get that understanding across to the class! His assignments and tests are fair enough, so the course (Calc 3) is still doable -- however, be prepared to rely on the textbook.

Oh God, I regret the day I registered for his class. Terrible terrible prof. You'd have more luck learning something from your pet cat. It's impossible to read his handwriting, might as well be writing in ancient cavemen language for all we know. You'd be better of taking this course in another semester or not at all, just stay away from him.

Comment:

Stay away. Class was pointless, he kept going on tangents related to his other class, or spending the entire hour on some illegible proof before realizing he had made a mistake. If you're stuck with this class, the textbook is your best friend. Also do the assignments, for us he repeated 2 questions verbatum on our final.

Comment:

Man this guy's bad. This semester we had no idea what was coming on the exam, with the end result of people seeing stuff they'd never heard of before! Its better to graduate late than to get stuck with him in a class, just how he still is in the job is a mystery. Doesn't care about the students one bit
