Comment:

Such a nice guy! His notes are very detailed. He explains things clearly, and if you need more help there is free tutoring in the library basically everyday. They fill in any gaps you don't understand. But Professor Nusbaum is happy to help if you have questions. He is patient and you can go into office hours. Definitely recommend!

Comment:

I took this class along with the 013 prerequisite. I definitely recommend taking MATH130&013 if you struggle in math! Essentially it gives you another day that helps slow down the overall class. Things can get confusing very fast but go to office hours. DO ALL YOUR HOMEWORK and you will have plenty of cushion for your exams. Homework is done online

Comment:

This professor had great lectures and work, study guides was similar to the tests. But make sure you stay on top of all of your assignments and homework because he moves super fast and if you get behind, it will be harder to catch up. I would recommend taking it but only if u will be on top of ur work.

Comment:

Took Math 24 this semester. We started off with about 36 students in class and by the time the semester ended there were maybe only 15 of us. Do the work, and there is lot's of it. He is a tough grader and he is honest from the beginning. You have to study hard in his class in order to pass. You can't just come in and slack off. Good professor.

Comment:

Calc 2 is a difficult class, but Professor Nusbaum does a great job of teaching the material. His exams are very similar to the review assignments. He moves fast during lecture at times but he'll always take time to ask questions. Take advantage of the S.I. sessions before each exam. There are 7 exams and a final but each exam covers 4-5 sections.

Comment:

You have 7 exams plus a final exam. No midterm. His exams are based off the study guide and notes so if you study those, you will know most of the exam. He is usually there during his office hours so use that for questions. Only opened the textbook once so you won't need it. Overall very straightforward and nice professor.

Comment:

Prof Nusbaum is tough, but doable. Calc 2 isn't easy, but If you spend time reading & reviewing the lecture notes after each class session you'll be fine. Take the exam reviews, written & online hmk seriously, it'll prepare you for the exams! Take advantage of his E.C. & SI. You'll have exams regularly, but the material is spread out. Take Him!

He is so nice and caring that I actually liked taking math. He lays things out clearly for you and explains things extremely well. He makes it so one can follow the class pretty easily. I definitely recommend him as he truly wants to help you. Prof. Nusbaum is the absolute best!

This professor knows all his stuff but doesn't seem to know how to teach his knowledge to us. His tests are nothing like his review worksheets and lecture. Tests are graded harshly.

Nusbaum is an awesome professor! He gives clear instructions, examples, and review sheets for upcoming tests. His door is always open during office hours and hes there awaiting to help in any way possible. TAKE HIM! Im personally not great at math, yet alone baby statistics, but with effort I understood. This class is self rewarding.

Comment:

Prof Nusbaum is a really great professor. I love math but Calc II is arguably the hardest in the Calc series. He replaces your lowest test score with you final if it's higher. He also gives you an extra credit worksheet that is due at the end of the semester. I should've gone to his office hours more often because he actually helps you with math.

Comment:

I like taking his Calc 2 class. Personally, it was a breeze. All I did was finish all the homework (on my own) and remember the equations to Ace the class. He is very organized and the lecture examples are what he puts on the exams(with changed numbers of course).

Nusbaum was by far the best math teacher i've ever had. He is super organized with his lectures which are super clear. Take good notes so you can reference them to the online homework. Mymathlab homework can be time consuming so don't wait till the night before. He gives you unit reviews which correspond with the test very well. TAKE HIM 100%

This is the first math class I have had in over 30 years. Prof. N. lectured in a way that allowed me to really understand. He was accessible outside of class and gave us extra credit opportunities. You definitely have to work hard and be determined to make the grade. If I passed, you can pass this class. He really wants his students 2b successful.

Great class! Prof. was patient, accessible outside of class, clear grading criteria, lots of tests, caring. If you are willing to be consistent in putting in the effort to study, you will do well. Just don't get behind. Can't miss a class. Do all homework and extra credit! Review everyday.
