Comment:

Dr. Albrecht teaches a lot of theory and concepts behind certain parts of the class and doesn't work out a whole lot of problems most of the time. However, you will get practice with your WebAssign homework. Pretty good teacher overall, he's goes a bit fast through topics but that's mostly due to the requirements he has to meet.

Comment:

Ok, here is the scoop. This professor is bad. He shows up to class, slams the textbook on the table, and starts writing. He just shows off and does not really teach. He does not respect his students - often calls people out. Do the recitation - only way I succeeded in this class. His tests are super hard but he prepares you for the final.

His class his hard but he's been teaching at Auburn long enough to the final exam inside and out. You have to study hard for this class and the test are hard, but you will be more prepared for the final. If you take his MATH 1620 class be prepared to wright down everything and study hard.

If you make a B or below in this class, it's your fault. He curved the last two tests by 25 points, and let the final grade replace the first one. Super easy. The professor is a good guy.

Comment:

I honestly hated the class, but the prof didn't seem like a bad guy. Basically everyone failed the first test (I got a 48) but then he curved the next two. He uploaded the past tests and answers to Canvas before the final. His final consisted of 100 questions chosen from the past tests and I was able to make a Quizlet and get a 101 on the final.

Comment:

A majority of your grade comes from 3 test including the final. The test are really difficult and he doesnt seem worried about low averages. He curved our last 2 test tho. I would recommend reading over the PowerPoints before class and staying ahead of textbook readings. Lab is random and unhelpful. Really nice guy but avoid him if possible

HE is ridiculous. Absolutely not helpful, rude when you go to office hours, and does not care anything about your well being. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I repeat, DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Great teacher, very difficult to understand because of his accent. His tests are difficult. it helps to read the chapter before his class.

Comment:

Don't let all of these awful ratings scare you from taking this class. I had Dr. Albrecht last year and he curved 2/4 of our tests, and his final that he made was the same exact questions, in the same order as his practice final with the numbers changed. You should probably have taken calc before taking him but you can get through it by reading!

Comment:

Dr. Albrecht is probably a nice guy but youd never know it from his lectures. The man clearly doesnt care at all about his students and just teaches cause it gives him something to do. The lectures are confusing, and he never lets you stop writing. Its all tests and a little homework. He also doesnt curve at all... even if the avg is a 50.

Comment:

First off he is super rude. He never actually teaches anything just reads the power points. If you need help dont expect him to help. He just says read the book. Also expects you to spend 7-9 hours a week on his class. Safe to say the worst teacher Ive ever had at Auburn.

Rambles a lot about things that dont relate to the exams whatsoever. Exam questions come mostly out of the textbook. Hard to understand with thick accent. Very difficult considering the class level. Would not reccomend.

Comment:

Very hard. HOWEVER, he makes the final. Says he wouldn't curve but did curve the final exam. I did very poor and needed a C to get a B but somehow still got a B. Homework is required so is attendance. You can do it, just try other teachers if you can.

Lectures are long and boring but attendance isnt required. I took the Honors section and tests were short answer questions. Read the text and hope for access to a test bank!!!

Comment:

Albrecht is very strict about certain things. After one unexcused absence, your grade drops a letter grade for each subsequent absence. Hell call people out in the middle of lecture for cell phones. Also, he makes it clear from the first day of class that he will not curve, give extra credit, or drop grades. Hes tough but fair.

Comment:

Dr. Albrecht is without a doubt, a very talented mathematician, but in large lectures, he seems more focused on going over the material for himself than making sure his students understand. The only benefit from his lecture was from blindly copying down as much as possible and then breaking it down in the twice weekly recitation classes with my TA.

No phones/laptops allowed in class. Attendance mandatory - only one unexcused absence allowed. Teaches very quickly, and for the duration of the class. Only 3 exams, homework, and the final, so if you screw one up, you're, well, screwed. Good sense of humor though, and he knows his stuff.

Comment:

I would never recommend this class with him as the teacher to anyone. I feel like he is a really nice guy outside of class, but you can tell he just hates teaching this class and makes it miserable for his students. Miserable experience and the lab is completely pointless. DO NOT take him.

Comment:

Dr. Albrecht was a difficult prof but his class is not impossible. Out of the 4 unit tests that we had, 2 of those tests had 10 point curves. This is definitely not a guarantee for other classes but he is a nice man even if he doesn't seem that way. Read the textbook, and do the practice problems (they're harder than the tests!) and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Our class average on our first test was in the 50's, and no curve was given. Also, attendance is mandatory. I don't recommend taking this class unless you've already taken calculus II before.
