Extremely helpful and interesting professor.

Very nice guy, but as a prof very hard. Has weekly quizes that are as long as normal tests, and long homeworks that are graded like tests or quizes. If you are a major it might be good, but if you just need a math credit try someone else.

He is a great teacher and he is very helpful. He is definitely an easy teacher because the grading scale is variable, meaning it can be altered if all most students are in favor of one way. He does give out weekly quizzes but they are very helpful.

Dr. Salesky is a very nice man.

Dr. Saleski is an outstanding teacher. He demands alot of work, but you really learn from him.

Can you spell H-O-M-E-W-O-R-K? This professor must think students are as obsessed with math as he is. There is way too much homework. If you have other classes beware! I had to drop twice. I will not take him again.

Saleski is the best math teacher I have ever had. He is very enthusiastic about math, and sincerely wants every student to succeed. Very helpful and flexible with the schedule/syllabus.

I had dropped 3 straight math classes before this one, because my professors couldn't speak english or communicate clearly. Dr. Saleski is a truely great teacher. very patient and well spoken. breezed through the class once i got the hang of things.

great teacher!!!

Nice guy, good teacher. Really helped me understand math!

HE is the EASIET and NICEST teacher I have ever met. His tatics for preparing for the test are very helfpul. He is also the most FLEXIBLE teacher I have ever met necause he is willing to change things and lastly, he is very HELPFUL!!!

Really helped me to do well in this class. Very flexible. I reccommend.

Loved Him!!!! Great teacher, knows his content and is amazingly kind and understanding.

All of these good qualities put together plus a lot more!!! He is THE BEST!!!!!

A professor par excellence. Should be the Dean of College of Arts' and Sciences'.

182,263,298,321,351 If I would take one teacher more than 5 times he has got to be good... part of the reason I am a math major now!!

Dr. Saleski has a knack to teach hard material in a way that it becomes lucid. Organizes the courses in a way that it works in the best interest of the students. Gives extra credit and easy credit opportunities, such as write a letter to a friend about the course (10% of the grade)!

Expects too much. HW every class, and takes 1-2 hours to solve each night. For intro 200 level course,way too much work. nice though. Flexible w/ turning in and extra credit. Someone should tell him that his class isnt the only one we take each semester. Wants you to eat sleep and dream math.

First thing you need to know is that there will be a lot of homework. You'll be able to go through it in class and any questions will be explained. As long as you do the homework and it's neat you'll get and A on homework. Tests are of reasonable difficulty. Some are harder, but it all depends on your mastery of the material. In retrospect It was e

dr. saleski is a good teacher. he tries hard to make everyone enjoy what he is teaching. he has a hard time understanding that most students dont understand what is going on, and needs to slow down. overall, he is helpful when you ask, and he tries his best. i think if given the chance, i would take him for another class

Class is not easy, but if you ask questions and talk to him it's alot easier to understand the material. You need to go to class and go to the labs in order to obtain a solid grade.

Dr. Saleski was always available to help me when I didn't understand topics discussed in class which was almost always. Class was difficult and there was alot of homework! Better make sure you have good handwriting!

The best math teacher at Loyola. His lectures are so interesting and he is a great inspiration.

Saleski is a lot of work, I'm not going to lie. But in the end the grade is fair. He is a good professor to take--after his class you will know if you should be a math major or not.

Very good at explaining and teaching. Very leniant on grading and turning in homework. What you learn here will help later.

He's amazing! Always available to help, and willing to give aid if you seek it. Tests are hard and require a lot of study, but he's willing to help with your study. Study groups really do help! Really lenient on when you turn in homework. Takes criticism and how you feel into consideration. Overall, a GREAT professor!

He is an amazing professor. He is always willing to help you out. His tests are lengthy, but he makes them do-able. HE gave us practice tests for each test and for the final. There is daily homework, which is mangable, just don't fall behind. He doesn't follow the book very much which is good because it is confusing, so lecture is crucial.

He's hilarious

Good guy. Hes not the greatest teacher though. He is very unclear some times but none the less good. 90 = A 75= B 50 = C and 25 = D, no joke its hard to fail but hard to get an A

I REALLY LIKE HIM!!! HE'S SOOOO NICE! He's extremely helpful. You have to work tho, and if not it's hard. There's 9 or 10 quizes, 2 r dropped, 3 tests, and a final, so there's something EVERY Friday. He wants every one to succeed. He is clear and understandable. He doedn't take attendance, but you NEED to go and shows in ur grade. I RECOMMEND HIM!

It was nice to have a math professor with a sense of humor for once! While he wasn't the easiest professor, he was a clear lecturer and fair grader. Very helpful!

I love him and his class! He's such a jolly and sweet man. I'm so glad I got him for Math 162 next semester. I would really recommend him; he definitely wants you to do well. This class does require work, but has a pretty laid back atmosphere considering we had a lab component. He gives a lot of extra credit, so take advantage of that. Great class.

He is funny, kind, honest, and etc. Attending class is mandatory in a way, since there is always a quiz or test every Friday. Although, he gives out alot of practice quizes and tests for you to go over. Class isn't too hard, and I'm "so so" with math.

The class is difficult but you walk away learning from it. He makes sure his students learn and is very helpul at all times. Although he overloads his students with work, he makes the class worth taking.

Take this teacher if you get the chance!!! The subject is pretty hard but he makes the atmosphere of the class SO laid back..He's not the best at teaching math but he is soooo nice and helpful!! IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL! And gives LOADS of extra credit! =]

really great teacher. he's really sweet and easy and helpful. not a hard class, and all of his tests and quizzes are exactly like the practice quizzes he gives you prior to that quiz or test.

when a 50% is a C it just tells the class. He does the same problems in class that are on the tests. The only hard part was the Maple labs but that is because I suck on a computer. Take him if u need a math credit!

Extremely helpful! Take him if you get the chance! He's hilarious and when a sub comes in, you'll wish he was back. He makes math fun! Group work every monday, every other wednesday are maple labs, and every friday is a test or quiz but he gives you practice quizzes and tests which are VERY helpful! Homework is hard and webwork can sometimes be har

Dr. Saleski will by far be your favorite math teacher of all time. He is so nice and helpful and really cares about the students. The grading scale is awesome, with an 85% being an A, but he still makes you work for it! Just do the practice quizes and study and you dont have to worry about it! =)

I love this man. He makes math fun and interesting. Makes me want to become a math major. If you get the chance to take him you will not regret it. Simply amazing. If you go to class and pay attention there is no need to study

Dr. Saleski is my favorite teacher right now. He is inspiring and genuinely interested in his subject and students.

While the Professor is really helpful, and is willing to do a lot to help you comprehend the material, the class is very arduous. He encourages the use of study groups, which work surprisingly well. He's a great professor, and funny in an intellectual way. His courses are always entertaining.

Great teacher! Really entertaining and helpful. Grading scale makes it impossible to fail. Go to class, do practice quizzes and its pretty easy. Probably the best math teacher I have ever had. Take his class if you get the chance. I took MATH 161 with him and liked it so much I took 162 with him also!

Saleski is awesome! He actually made sense of calculus! you have to do a lot of work, but it all spread out over the semester. quizz every Friday, but if you do practice there are no suprises. group work every Monday, so you have to go to class to get participation points. Overall, very helpful, very easy if you do assigned work. TAKE HIM!

Dr. Saleski is perhaps one of the nicest professors I have ever had. Class is tough, but manageable. Physics and Chem majors, this is your class. Take lucas is you don't want a challenge. weekly quizzes and graded homework, which, in the long run, keeps you prepared. Go to his office for help and he explains everything!!

Challenging professor

ONE OF THE BEST MATH PROF. 3 exams, 1 final, quizzes every week (around 8), 3-4 Mathematica labs, 1 project at the end, homework(not mandatory).Gives good notes which you SHOULD take.Go over his notes,do hw,do the proofs,go over quizzes and you should be set for the exam. A is POSSIBLE with some hard work. GREAT CURVES on quizzes and exams too. ;)

Forgot to post his website here .... it's .... http://webpages.math.luc.edu/~ajs/courses/212spring2010/index.htm . I hope it helps. :)

I took Dr. Saleski for the summer session. Great experience! Clear, helpful, and patient! Difficult exams for which he does much to prepare you. A few mathematica labs, which I despised, and a hefty amount of my math lab, which is pretty helpful. Group and quizes are helpful in keeping you on track. Excellent calculus education. Definitly take him!

i've taken saleski for 3 classes- 162, 201, and 212. he is a great guy and knows what he's doing but you have to work hard to do well. i don't work that hard in # theory and have a B because of his awesome curve. encourages groupwork and office hours and is always trying to help. take him if you like math and dont mind putting in a little effort.

A great professor. I've never been especially keen on math, but he made it as interesting as he could. A man with a true passion for mathematics, Saleski is an amazing teacher for a hard class. Curves are awesome and so long as you put the effort in, you can get at least a B or an A.

One of the best math teachers at Loyola. He asks a lot of his students but is very fair. His class is curved well, and he gives so many opportunities for extra credit on his quizzes and exam. His lectures are interesting and engaging. Take him for any course you can, you will be glad you did!

Easily the best math teacher I have ever had. I would take every math class with him if I could. Not an easy A, but that is because he teaches stuff that is crazy hard--if it were anyone else, the material would probably be twice as difficult. Also, he is Dumbledore.

Dr. Saleski is amazing! He is extremely smart, and you will learn a lot in his class. The class is not easy though, 4 exams (drops the lowest grade),2 Mathematica labs, homework every other week, project and final. He is so helpful and awesome though. Highly recommend.

Easily the best math professor I have ever had. He is hilarious and definitely keeps the class interesting, or at least as interesting as calculus can be. He doesn't make tests and quizzes easy, but it's definitely worth taking any math class with him.

Mr. Saleski is one of the coolest, nicest human beings I have ever met. I love that guy. I really hope to take another class with him soon. If you don't do the homework you're not going to do well, and if you're unaware of this, maybe college isn't for you.

Extremely nice teacher and lenient in grading. Homework problems appear on quizzes. Quizzes on every Friday and group work on Wed. Monday class attendance not necessary. Doesn't explain things that well but if you ask for help, he will give you it.

Mr. Saleski cracks me up. He is a funny, humble man who really wants to help his students. He answers all emails, walk ins in his office, questions in class and encourages us constantly to come to him for help whenever we need it. He even emailed me a few times to check how I was doing! Sometimes he trails off the subject a bit, but overall great.

My favorite math teacher at Loyola. His upper level classes are challenging, but he will do anything to help you to understand and is the most joyful person I've met. He makes me love math, that is for sure.

Dr. Saleski is a wonderful math professor. He explains the material well and is very helpful during office hours. He wants you to do well. He has a very lenient grading scale.

Professor Saleski is a wonderful teacher. You can tell that he loves teaching and always has a smile on his face. There are quizzes every Friday but contain only material from that week. He curves the quizzes and tests which is helpful. There is online homework but it's not difficult. Recommend highly, would take him again!

Doctor Saleski is an inspirationl individual who wants all his students to succeed. I spent three hours in his office doing a study guide problem by problem and he was more than happy to help.HE IS AMAZING. I love him and his joyfulness. Take him if you have the chance!

Favorite professor this semester at Loyola!! He is the sweetest guy ever and ALWAYS open to help. He has office hours literally everyday and is willing to accommodate your schedule. He got his undergrad at MIT and master's at Berkeley... He's a genius but is so humble about it. It's an easy A, so take his class if you can.

Prof. Saleski is a brilliant professor and excellent teacher. He wants every student to do well and will do anything to help them. I've learned so much in his class. He's also hilarious and says the most ridiculous things that you don't really catch unless you pay attention. All in all, amazing teacher. Take him, if you can!

Mr.Saleski is the man!!! He will do anything he can to help his students in a very humble and attentive way. He's hilarious in class and his hand woven sweaters are the cutest. Some of the material is a bit difficult without prior knowledge in algebra but otherwise he's one of the best at Loyola and his grading scale is awesome. Take the Salesk!!

Hes an amazing professor and he truly cares about you as a student. He makes hard topics quite easy. Here's the twist though getting an a in his class means that you actually learn the content. He doesn't just give you the a but he helps you obtain that grade.

Saleski is an amazing teacher. He is clear and organized in class and willing to go over things twice if necessary. Outside of class he is the most helpful Professor I have ever seen. If you have any problems just go to his office hours and he will set you straight. His tests are among the hardest I have ever taken. Luckily there's extra credit.

Professor Saleski is amazing. He is a great teacher, very helpful, and reasonable about moving assignment due dates. He's approachable, and will answer any and all questions. Highly recommend.

Probably one of my favorite professors so far at Loyola. I took him during the summer and he was extremely cognizant that it was the summer and took it easy on us. Tough class and lots of material in a short time, but he made everything crystal clear. I wish I could take him for the remainder of my math classes. definitely recommend

Incredible is the only word I can think of to describe Dr. Saleski. He is always there to help you and he truly wants you to do well. If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes be sure to do it!

Dr. Saleski genuinely cares about his students and is very helpful. He seems to get nervous under pressure but nevertheless his teaching is amazing. Always accessible during office hours. He rewards points for attempting the problem. Honestly go to class every day and you're guaranteed an A. Also, participate!! I would take him again if I could.

He would often times assign problems out of the workbook that weren't even mentioned on the quizzes. Quizzes were based off of worksheets from an old time textbook. Although he could be confusing at times and hard to follow, if you try to focus and take notes you'll do fine. Go to tutoring, that's how i got an A, and actually show him you're trying

Professor Saleski is the best! I have taken him twice, for Math 117 and MATH 118, and I will continue to look for his classes. He is extremely nice and he cares about how you are doing in the course. In addition, he is always available to meet with you and help you in any way he can. He is a generous grader and always explains concepts clearly.

Best Math professor at LUC & in the world!

Dr. Saleski is a really sweet guy. His lectures are pretty confusing and unintelligible, and I still feel like I don't have a super great grasp on the material, but I got an A so I don't care. His tests have extra credit opportunities everywhere so its easy to not know much but still do ok.

Ok. This is a professor who loves what he teaches and you can tell that he is passionate about math. If you don't have a basic understanding of algebra going in, I wouldn't recommend taking him because he can get a bit all over the place but overall I have found his class enjoyable and he curves EVERYTHING SO MUCH!!!!!

He is a very passionate professor, he's very knowledgable. In all honesty, he's an excellent professor. Everything he says in class only makes sense if you actually study prior. It is college you're supposed to study before class!! He's very helpful during office hours so make sure to go!

Best Professor Ever!! He helps you with any uncertainty and is always available if you need it!

He is one of the sweetest person I have ever met. He is so nice and SO helpful. Take him. He is so understanding and cares about you and that you pass and do well. TAKE HIM!!! So sweet. Just prepare to put in work like any class!

Saleski is such a nice and understanding professor. He gives extra credit and very generous curves on his tests. He is a very helpful during his office hours if you take the time to go see him. Would definitely take him again.

Alan is a true gem and as long as you are willing to put in the work and ask questions, the class isn't awful. It is definitely not an easy A, but there is lots of extra credit and he curves most everything. Expect a good amount of homework but lenient deadlines. He is so kind and really cares about his students.

Saleski is a great professor. He really cares about how you do and will help you anytime you want. You can go in all 5 days a week if you want. If you put in the effort for the class you will get an A. He curves everything. Hes super super kind as well.

Took his Calc course twice, after finding out that I picked the wrong school.

Dr. Saleski truly loves math and is basically a genius. He can be hard to follow at times, but he is in his office most of the time and is better at one on one teaching. There is extra credit on all the tests and most of the quizzes. The deadlines for assignments are very lenient, which makes his class manageable on a busy schedule.

Nicest professor I've ever had. Cannot stress how nice and caring he is. Very funny as well. However, class was hard. To pass the Class. I recommend understanding all webassign problems, and ones from his exercises. Drill each of em and ones from his quizzes, and tests. Nice guy but difficult class. Mathlabs and written HWs were annoying. great guy

Papa Saleski is the best professor I have ever had, and will ever have. Yes, his class is hard, but working for your grade is rewarding. He is super helpful in office hours. He cares for his students and he wants them to succeed. Take his class, you will not regret it.

If you pay attention to the lecture and focus on what he is saying then this is not a hard class. He does not pay attention to students who are not paying attention and mostly collaborates with students who only pay attention to his lecture.

He is a very quiet speaker and really only pays attention to those in the front. He also doesn't use the textbooks at all and pulls the questions we do in class from his head. We get work packets every class and he doesn't give out answers for it "because he doesnt know the answer." Nice guy though

Professor Saleski is a great instructor. He prepares you to know what exactly will be on the tests and quizzes so as long as you follow those you'll be fine. He gives a large portion of your grade to homework which helps your grade significantly. I would take this class again.

Professor Saleski is the sweetest guy ever, I have taken multiple classes with him. He genuinely cares about his students, he is always accessible outside of class, and holds office hours nearly every day. His lectures can be a little disorganized but he is clear about what you need to know for exams, which often have extra credit opportunities.

He is a great guy and very intelligent, but his lessons don't help. I had to teach everything outside of class and still didn't get a good grade. Wouldn't recommend if you aren't a math person, but he is a really nice guy.

The absolute best. He gives an insane amount of support outside of class as well as a lot of resources to do well. The A is a 90 compare to other teachers who have an 93 as an A. He is an fair grader and takes a lot of time to review before exams. He is understanding considerate and accommodating. A very wholesome and pure hearted teacher.

He is such a caring professor and always has time for his students to teach them if they are confused. He gives a lot of extra credit, and if you put the effort to learn the material you will get a good grade! He is so fun to talk to and loves when the class is engaged. He loves connecting math to the real world too! BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!

This is the best professor I have ever had. A considerate person and a beautiful mind. I have already finished my studies, but if could go back I would take every class he offers. Then I would ask him if he could teach other classes he doesn't offer. You will never get another chance to have a teacher like Saleski.

Pretty good professor. Nice pace for a math class.

Curved tests and final by a great amount, gives extra credit in exams. Consisted of weekly hws, 4 tests and a cumulative final.

I LOVE PROFESSOR SALESKI!!! He truly wants his students to succeed and is very available outside of class and helpful one on one in office hours. He gives tons of partial credit on exams and is willing to work with you on anything related to course content in OH. I did not take calculus in high school, and I had no issue getting an A in this class.

I had no prior experience with calculus and I felt like this course was a great introduction. The material was very digestible and he was open to questions + had very long office hours. Did do some self teaching but it was manageable. VERY lenient grader and extremely generous with extra credit. Kind and listens to students. I could go on and on.

He is nice and funny but the material in general was pretty difficult. It's easy to get lost and confused when he teaches. The tests are like the study guides and he does curve them, homework is on Wiley and due weekly. He is a name-caller though if no one participates and participation is graded. Quiz at the end of every class but not graded.

Professor Saleski is a caring instructor who truly wants students to succeed. The lectures can be disorganized, but office hours are super helpful. I found Unstuck ai a great study tool alongside the textbook. Overall, manageable class with a generous grader.

Professor Saleski is awesome! Yes, he does tend to ramble.. but I would say if you're having any trouble, his office hours are amazing. You can tell he cares a lot about his students, and wants them to pass! He will make time for you if you need help, and offers sooo much extra credit.

Although the professor seems a bit disconnected from the class, he is very welcoming to students who are struggling during office hours. Make sure to participate often and to complete the weekly discussion posts/ homework assignments, as they make up a good part of the grade. Prof. Saleski is very generous with his curves and extra credit.

Calculus is not an easy class. Prof. Saleski is def one of the very FEW professors that actually wants his students to pass, & is very understanding/accommodating. Ofc, studying outside of class & frequently attending office hours is required to fully grasp class content. If he sees you put in the effort you will be successful in this class!

He is so sweet, and I loved his class, but you need to know calculus beforehand. A lot of his lecturing is really hard to follow if you are completely new to calc. But he is so willing to help, and Melissa (SI) is really patient and kind if you're struggling. Overall, take him IF you already have some background calc knowledge.

His lectures are hard to follow sometimes but he provides practice tests with everything you need to know for exams, so as long as you go to SI sessions, office hours, or teach yourself content your confused on you'll do well. He has a lot of office hours and gives great feedback.

He's very sweet, but unless you're already good at calc, don't take him. There are ungraded quizzes at the end of each class that take a lot of time and don't help much. He spends the next class reviewing them instead of teaching the lesson. Tests are really hard, go over 50 minutes, and his handwriting is tough to read. find a diff prof tbh

Definitely a hard class, but Saleski is a great prof. He grades nicely and is very helpful in office hours. The concepts are kind of hard to understand, but if you make an effort, you'll do well.

He's an amazing professor, very passionate about what he teaches, and genuinely wants his students to succeed. He gives us a cheat sheet for his exams and awards extra credit. Sometimes he can get lost in the lectures and wait a long time for students to respond, but as long as you're participating, he's always willing to help. Amazing office hours

Overall Saleski was a great professor! Often he can be a silly goofy guy, and he adds funny memes and raps/poems to his lectures. However, he does go on many side tangents which makes me dissociate in class. Additionally, though he can be confusing in class sometimes, his office hours are a really good resource to utilize.

He's an amazing person and it really reflects in his classes. He tries to make Real Analysis as easy as possible even though it's a difficult course. He's super helpful, encourages office hours and class discussions, and wants you to do well in his class. His lectures are a bit unorganized, but it doesn't take away from the course.
