Comment:

His lectures are very boring. He gives hw but he doesnt check them. He grades you on like three quizzes and tests so if you fail those you are not going to pass and wont be able to bring your grade up. If you are rlly good at math, take him.

Great guy, goes through material slowly and makes sure everyone understands. Takes time to go over any hw problem you want to. Only thing is there are two tests and two quizzes that will be pretty much your whole grade, so make sure you do well on those.

Comment:

I would take every math class with him if I could. His class is a little boring, but he explains information well and his tests mirror the problems done in class. There's only a few tests and quizzes per semester, but with studying and reviewing class/hw problems it is easy to do well

Comment:

He is a great professor who explains concepts and assigns homework problems that prepare you for what you eventually see on his quizzes and tests. His classes do get boring and you might fall asleep, but it is worth the easy A! Also, he cares about his students and only wants you to succeed. Highly recommend. He doesn't take attendance either.

Comment:

He is my favorite professor at villanova. i have had him for many classes and he explains math very well. I have never seriously struggled in his class and all work is manageable. He does not try to trick you on his exams, he is super straightforward. Take him for any math class if he is an option

Comment:

Dr. Gluchoff is a nice man but his class is SO BORING. He goes slow which is good but makes it so boring it's hard to follow. The class itself and the quizzes are very easy but his tests are weirdly hard in comparison - he actually said he makes problems that you haven't seen before on HW or in class. Isn't that the point of homework/lecture?

Comment:

Dr. Gluchoff is a great math professor to take. He goes slowly through the material and assigns optional homework that can be used to study for tests or quizzes. He allows 1 full sheet of paper for each test and 4 of them for the final. The tests were easy and he grades fairly. I would definitely recommend taking him.

Comment:

Hes a bit more difficult for DiffEQ (I had him for Calc 2) but the class is still structured the same way. Quizzes are easy 100s and tests are easy B+/A if you study. The tests were harder in DiffEQ but class overall wasnt different and wasnt bad.

Comment:

This guy is such a classic math teacher. He introduces the new concept, does some examples, assigns homework. The next day we go over the homework and repeat. 3 quizzes, 3 exams, and one final. He will also curve the exams and allows a sheet of notes for each test. He is also big on partial credit so that was nice. He doesnt take attendance.

Explains the material in a very clear and concise manner. Just like most Math classes, if you show up to class and do the homework you'll do fine. Always willing to help when a student doesn't understand something. A great Math teacher.

Comment:

Great prof. Did an independent study with him in Real Analysis. If you need to take a course that you know will be hard take him. He is great at explaining incredibly difficult concepts, and if you still dont get it he is always willing to re-explain or help during office hours.
