This professor is very easy to deal with. He doesn't set a high standard when it comes to teaching so students are not very much challenged. Easy topics become hard, solutions are very elaborate and he takes the hard way of solving problems. Making the hard subject harder to understand. I wish he knows this as a weakness on his part.

Calculus is tough, so this is not an easy class no matter what. The good news is, is that this guy will do everything he can to get you to pass, as long as YOU do everything YOU can to try and pass ie getting help as soon as you fall behind. He taught 6 classes this semester and still had time to tutor me twice a week. He's a cool dude and funny.

Great professor, very facilitative to learning. I don't agree with his testing style (2 tests, one final, all cumulative), but he is very forgiving and willing to help. Doesn't just teach math, but understands it and its history. I'll probably get my first 'C' ever in his calc course, but I still recommend you take him as your instructor.
