Comment:

This guy knows his stuff, but does not know how to teach it too the students. Tests are hard but can be done with much effort. His lectures suck, all he likes to do is proof's. Doesnt use any numerical examples. dont take him if you dont like math!!

the worst. very bad handwriting, speaks very fast, tests are open books but only the last 50 minutes of class. hard tests.the three tests that we had,not a single student turned in thier tests before the end of class. he had to ask students to turn in thier tests or get zero.

Very good teacher. He does challenge you, but that's what college is all about. Just pay attention and take good notes, and you'll do fine. I would STRONGLY recommend him.

Comment:

lectures boring, but go to them cuz they bring up your grade a lot. you can use anything you want on the tests- books, notes, calc. this class is a hard class but i think it's the material more that just the teacher that makes it hard. also, he offers extra credit---can raise your final grade by up to 6%. also, class average is high, like above 80%

Comment:

Not as bad as most say. Go back to high school if want everything to be handed to you. But if you want to learn university level mathematics Papp is the teacher you want. Unlike most professors he won't hold the entire class back because of one or two lazy students. More than fair, counts attendance as a test grade and all tests are open book.

Comment:

Got a 5 on the AP Calc exam but barely got by in this class. He just goes through stuff without explaining it, lots of self-study to clarify what he's saying. Barely do-able but not bearable...

this guy is terrible. he looks like uncle phil in fresh prince, and he can't teach crap. exams are all theory questions, and no curve at all when it comes to final grade, even though average is like 65. unclear, unhelpful, tough grader, crap professor

I would love to be a math major but I just dont ever want to deal with this guy again. He completely emboides all that can be horrible about a Prof. He isnt fair, his exams are hard, he doesnt want to help you and just enjoys seeing ppl struggle. I hate him, I really do.

Comment:

The way he explains is not interesting and not clear, almost no examples.It's better to read book. Exams open book but he gives the hard stuff. He doesnt check for concepts that you understand he gives you some long ass theorems with a lot of a,b,c...and doesnt care about examples. He knows his stuff but he can not explain it to people.

Comment:

Tests are open book and open note, but even so you will barely manage 1/2 credit (if that) for each problem. Tests tend to evaluate your ability to integrate complex formulas and perform complicated algebraic compuations rather than your knowledge of the concepts you're supposed to be learning. Very hard to follow during lecture. DO NOT TAKE PAPP.

Comment:

Listen I am gonna tell some imp msgs. If you are a math major and want to show you math skills on the test, and prove yourself smart ass, than take him, and be ready to have B in class, there is no way anyone can earn A. And if you r not a math major, be AWAY from him. He is very danger, his test gives heart attacks. CAUTION. Be aware, no curve

Don't listen to the cry babies here... the people that are whining probably didn't want to be there. If you want/need to learn math, Papp is the man!

Comment:

So hard to follow, tests were ridiculous. Makes everything so much harder than it has to be, and so unhelpful with everything. Don't take his class unless you have a strong understanding of math to begin with, and even then take caution.

Had Him for matrix algebra and it was terrible he takes the material and makes it way harder than it has to be. His tests are in no way related to the homework. All he does is prove long ass Thms. all class and barely ever does anything by example. Worst math Teacher i have had.

I'm not a math major and i took him. I started with 85% on the first test and ended up with 49% on the third. I proudly survived with a C+ but I'll never take him again.PS: He's a nice guy

Papp is a very smart man and an all around nice guy, but his tests can be more difficult than they should be. Do not take Papp unless you are a math major! He does not curve grades so beware!
