Comment:

He issa funny and nice prof. He writes his own book and it's kinda difficult to grasp the ideas of its. Since he always tries to teach our calculus class in statistic way. He converts the same ideas but in complicated ways and so messy. He is too smart to teach intro class. easy grader tho. Attendance is optional but highly not recommended

Comment:

He is one of my all time favorite professors I have already taken a class with him every semester since I have been at Denison. He really cares and wants his students to learn. He is very much focused on the board concepts and you understand really them rather than the minute details of if you added correctly. Bassicly he is awesome.

Comment:

I hated math until I took Dr. Neal's Calc I class. Then I took his Calc II and he convinced me to be a math major. I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Neal for making me feel so confident in myself. He's very caring and notices when something is wrong with a student.

Comment:

Dr. Neal is a very hard, very nice teacher. He is also one of my favorite people alive. He is dedicated to the students and cares about them to the fullest; he is always, always, open to emails, meetings of any time/type. He is a very tough teacher however and be prepared to be challenged completely.

Great guy, kinda awkward, and really hard. He is way too smart to be teaching an intro class. He cannot connect with normal people.

He's really fun to have a class with, but the homework in Proof Techniques is extremely difficult! It balances out in the end. If you enjoy a challenge, and you already have a firm grasp on calculus, take his classes.

Comment:

Funny in a very adorable, dorky way. Sometimes random, notes can be difficult to follow. Assigns a TON of homework and while none of it's ever due, I always felt bad knowing I had several hundred (no joke) calc problems I should be working on... tests are hard

Great guy, funny in his own nerdy way, extremely awkward but seriously kind. You have to work hard for his class. It's not easy, has plenty of homework, but if you work, you'll get what you want.

Dr. Neal was very funny. He is sorta awkward and nerdy, but in a good way. I enjoyed his class, becasue he was funny to be around, but he wasn't a very good teacher. I had a very strong calc. backround, and still had no freaking clue what he was ever talking about.

Dr. Neal is a great teacher! He gives a lot of homework, and does let you out late, but he is always willing to help. He is very enthusiastic about what he does, and is just such an awesome and funny person.

Comment:

Agree with previous comments: seems cold at first but then he warms up to you and starts joking about things. Always lets you out of class a few minutes late. At times he can be unclear about material but he's willing to help you understand it.

Comment:

He's not a good teacher and holds you late every freaking class period. The man is nice and a little awkward but is only good at teaching one on one. He gets too nervous in class to teach.
