Comment:

Never have I heard a professor say "I don't know what I'm doing" so many times. I stopped going to class after the first test. The class isn't that bad, but if you're hoping to learn from Rochberg you will be disappointed. Be prepared to learn from the TAs/teach yourself from the book/Webwork. Hopefully the worst teacher I will have here.

I may only be a first semester freshman, but i am confident that Rochberg is the worst professor i will have throughout my college experience. If you like reading a textbook and never attending class, then yes take this class. If you need hands on help, STAY AWAY.

Comment:

This was the first college class I fell asleep in- and it wasn't just once, either. Rochberg rambles on and does weird things, has weird pauses. Also, the exams were very easy, as was the homework. The only disappointment was that I expected to learn more than I did.

Comment:

This guy is a horrible teacher. Sure, he went to Harvard and Princeton and is obviously brilliant, but teaching isn't his strong point. His tests weren't extremely hard, except for the multiple choice, which requires true understanding of the math. Anyway, if you want to do well you better make the textbook your teacher because this guy won't be.

Comment:

terrible, awful, dreadful professor. went to class twice the whole semester and listened to him ramble on incomprehensibly. tests weren't too bad, other than ridiculous true-false questions which boiled down to luck. if you take him, be ready to teach yourself from the text. don't bother showing up to class.

This class is where I got my nap in everyday, other than that it wasn't worth the time to go to lecture unless totally lost on a subject

Comment:

Overall, not bad but not great either. He seems to know a lot about the subject material, and is obviously an expert in the field, but that doesn't necessarily make him qualified to teach people how to do it. Its probably because hes so good at it that he has a harder time conveying the topics. Oh yeah, he always has chalk on his face--its true.

This guy is the worst "teacher" I've ever encountered in my life. This guy just knows math, but he is far from a teacher. Going to class made me more confused, and I barely got through the class. Avoid him if possible.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had. His lectures are boring (and you don't expect much from math lecturers in the first place) and completely useless. He fumbles through notes and writes inaccuracies on the board all hour long, taking so long to figure out what he did that he covers no substantive material. Avoid if at all possible.

Great prof. Helpful, up-to-the-point lectures. A lot of helpful examples in class. Exams and grading scheme are very reasonable. Learned a lot from this class. He is also very helpful outside of class and is very flexible.

I love this guy! He is entertaining, and he makes Variable Calc an enjoyable experience. I recommend taking Math 318.

He was always unprepared for class and often admitted to having incorrect notes, writing them on the board anyway. Not a good teacher as a whole
