Comment:

Definitely take for 232. 9 quizzes (2 questions each), drops the 2 lowest, which then counts as a test grade. There are 2 exams which are very challenging, and a final which is straightforward and asks surface level questions to gauge basic understanding. Even if you fail the first 2 exams, you can still finish with a B+ if you do well on final!

Comment:

Dr. Rosenhouse is a solid choice for MATH 232. He can go off on tangents about non-calc related stuff, but is a funny guy. His lectures can also be a bit scattered. You're only graded on quizzes, two midterm exams, and a final, but he does curve at the end of the semester. Go to office hours, he gives potential quiz/exam problems.

Comment:

He thinks he's funny and he goes on tangents a lot. The first 15 minutes of class is dedicated to storytime. He teaches by example which is why it's best to attend class. He's a nice person just I don't feel like I learned much because of all the stories.

Comment:

Calc 3 is a very hard class and I wouldnt recommend taking it unless you have to and/or are willing to put in the work to pass. Dr. Rosenhouse is a professor who teaches by doing examples. Class mainly consists of textbook examples. He often goes off on tangents that are distracting but overall teaches the material well.

I was taking this class for fun but Rosenhouse is annoying so I dropped it... He's very easily distracted and goes off on long tangents. Do not take if you like being focused in class

Comment:

Dr. Rosenhouse was the best calc prof I've had. Took him for calc 3 and although we had to put in effort to learn, usually if you're taking calc 3, that's not a problem. He is very understanding and relatable so he doesn't make anyone feel like they're doing bad in the class even if you don't know whats going on. Always available outside of class.

Comment:

-Makes calculus a pleasure to learn, and teaches his students not to accept things blindly. -He can go off on tangents, but sometimes they're fun, just don't get him started on politics. -Tests and quizzes are appropriately difficult, and the class is graded on a curve All and all, It is definitely worth it to go out of your way to take his class.

Honestly impressed by this guys ability to go off on crazy tangents for half the class that have nothing to do with calculus. Other than that though he's a decent professor and explains things pretty well. He's also kind of funny

Dr. Rosenhouse is a little socially awkward, but makes class enjoyable. Sometimes i wish he had notes in front of him to follow because he goes off on tangents, but overall a solid choice.

Judging from what I have heard about the other Math235 prof, he's definitely the easiest. So if you're not a math person, take him

Very funny professor, but if I had not known calculus going into this class I would have struggled. Tells jokes all throughout his lecture which makes it fun. 10 quizzes and he takes your best 7 and 2 tests. Curves everything except quizzes. Always available in office hours.

There's a lot of homework in this class so be ready to do a TON of it and STUDY. You won't pass the tests if you study the night before; however, he's a good professor. Does tell a lot of jokes in the beginning of class

Comment:

Tends to ramble and joke a lot but I feel like he does it on purpose because he knows how boring calculus can be. Wants you to understand the concepts of calculus rather than memorize. Homework is not required but highly recommended. Two tests, 7 quizzes that count as a test and final with a curve.

Comment:

Though he gets off topic, he really cares about the student's understanding of the material not just for memorization. There are very short quizzes every friday (2 questions) that, if you have been keeping up, are easy. Attendance and homework is not graded but very helpful. Slightly nutty but a really good guy. Class is easy if you pay attention.

Comment:

Take him!! He's seriously awesome. Class is not mandatory, but he is so funny and entertaining that I never missed class. If you are new to Calculus, it is definitely doable but will be a bit of work. Gives weekly quizzes but they can definitely boost your grade if you do well. He is absolutely hysterical and SO entertaining.

He's very good at lecturing, and his ideas make calculus much more understandable. His tests are hard, but if you visit him during office hours he is very helpful.
