First off, this professor has an accent, so it's hard to understand him. Also his writing is crap, and doesn't explain clearly. And he doesn't stay in his office, and if you want to meet with him, you have to make dumb appointments with him. And yes, your going to need the book which doesn't even help as much. So good luck! >:]

Professor Bojkov goes through lessons quickly since the time in class is so short. Sometimes doesn't finish the lesson within the given time frame, so you get an extra day to do the homework. There is only one group project but it's easy to lose points on it if you don't do as he recommends. ATTEND THE EXAM REVIEWS AND ASK QUESTIONS!

Professor Bojkov is like any ordinary math professor. Everyday was a new lesson for my class and he went off what was on the textbook provided by CSUN. There are 3 midterms and the final. The tests are not easy but he gives out a clear (and i do mean CLEAR) study guide before the test. As long as you do your part, you will get an A. trust me.

Dr. Bojkov is the best math professor I have ever had. Math is not my strong subject, however, I was able to get an A in this professor's class because he taught math differently than ordinary professors.
