Hardest course I've taken, but the material in general is hard. He goes through everything in great detail and is really nice about it. People who failed didnt study, or do their homework, not because he didn't teach well.

Comment:
Professor is highly misleading; always says that that you will find his tests easy if you complete the assigned homework, but this is very far from the truth. In fact, class averages were often low... Take much of what he says, not including material content, with a grain of salt!

His tests weren't that bad, I would recommend looking at his pass tests. He actually does care if the class passes or fails, but the nature of the course is hard itself. You need to do the work to pass.

Shows interest in class and is moderately helpful. But extremely strict on grading. I'd avoid his classes.

Comment:
At times surprisingly rude during class with regards to the students' performance. Snarky comments outside of the class as well. Lectures were borderline useless and resulted in self-teaching of 95% of the course from online videos.

Comment:
I had to take this course twice too. The first time I took it, I didn't pick up the slack until it was too late. The second time around, I did my work and managed to get 70s on the tests and final. The course isn't hard, it just requires a lot of effort and dedication to passing.

Comment:
make sure to do the questions before going to lecture, otherwise you won't understand what's going on and it'll be a waste of time. going to lectures isn't necessary, as everything is in the textbook, but his stories are entertaining :D but a super hard marker!

Comment:
He goes very very fast that you have hard time trying to understand and write at the same time. His test are very tricky and doing the homework does not help most of the times. He is a very funny, understanding and approachable professor that tries to engage students in Math.

Comment:
He was awesome! He made math something to look forward to cos of all his "stories".His tests are fairly manageable even if 1 starts doing the homework a week be4. He does questions with "tricks" involved so you know how you could mess up... is very clear about what to expect in the test... you might not wana procastinate though...

Comment:
My main complaint is that he goes through the lecture too fast. There isn't enough time to process what he is saying so you end up just blindly copying down whatever he writes. Other then that he isn't THAT bad!

Makes fun of students if they do not understand what he is teaching. Gets angry when you do not understand the material.

He was pretty funny... teaching-wise, I think he was fine; if you keep up with your homework, you will be okay... but it's not an easy course.

Great guy, really helpful. Says things are easy, but they never usually are with calculus. Wants everyone to pass, and is available for help when you need it. His tests can be difficult, but if you spend enough time, you'll do good.

Comment:
I found this professor very good! Negative comments are just excuses made my students who performed poorly. He is right; you have to do all of your homework, and understand it clearly, and he has office hours for you to come in and seek help, but you must show you did work! That isn't much to ask and it's expected; this is university people!

Comment:
similarly, similarly, similarly+bobbing up and down like he's got a built-in spring. Bending over and gestures with the hands. Tells stories with "morals". Quite comical when he scolds students in class when talk or laugh
