He looks like a giant baby! And he's pretty awkward but he's very clear and knows the material. His problem sets aren't entirely hard but his tests can be difficult.

Comment:
Definitely recommend him. He's nice and approachable, so you can ask him questions without feeling intimidated. Despite his awkwardness, he's very clear (even up to his habit of writing his verbal segues and narration on the board). On top of everything, he's a fair and lenient grader, plus he looks like a giant baby.

He's a nice guy. He writes everything he says on the board which can be helpful with note-taking. Tests are curved

Comment:
Hovey speaks clearly and can be funny. Some of the math majors in the class complained about the textbook's vagueness; but the subject (knot theory, a branch of topology) is too cool to pass up. There were weekly problem sets which took maybe 2-3 hours each; and a midterm and a final which took maybe 4-5 hours each. And that's it. Not bad.

Hovey is hilarious, but doesn't mean to be. He was always nervous about teaching, and would sometimes make mistakes because of that.
