-Foreign with accent -Quizzes every friday -3 test (not cumulative) -If you attend everyday he will give answers to quiz during lectures -Attendance highly recommended since he tells you what is going to be on test -Over all easy if you are a good student!
His accent doesn't help much, thank god he's very lenient in grading. There are 3 exams, last one is comprehensive and worth 40%. Just attend class everyday, do homework, he gives a review, study his notes, and you should be fine. I'm not very good at Math, but I found this class to be a lot easier than others put it to be. I ended up with an A :)
His accents are very terrible and his handwriting on the board is sloppy. I have to rely on his given homework to understand the material, but almost half of the questions on his quizzes and test doesn't cover materials from the homework. He's very defensive and aggressive when I try to talk to him personally. Ended up wasting my time and money.
WOW hardest class EVER!!! I just took the exam and there was questions I've never even seen in our notes or the textbook. He didn't even give us a review and told us to go to a review session the night before the exam.I learned more stuff from the TA that night than throughout the semester with the professor. Didn't give us enough time to finish ca
If you can take a different professor, especially if you are required to take Matrices and Vectors, take someone else! The course material is easy but he tries to make it difficult and trick students.
too smart to be teaching, isnt able to dumb himself down to our level and teach. quiz every friday, sometimes theyre ridiculous and you cant find anything like it in the book, so doing homework wouldnt help. tests are hard also. i would recommend another teacher for this class. go to class and usually he hints what kind of problems will be on tests
Should not be teaching math to non-majors. Weak in various facets of teaching calc. - explanations, boardwork, esp. Decent guy with strong accent. Quizzes most wks - can miss 2. Hard tests w/ probs that often don't resemble any of HW. After many dropped in 1st mnth, he began allowing 1 pg of notes on quizs and tests, which helped. Lenient grader.
A lot of people had trouble understanding him, but I really enjoyed his class. The way he explained Differential Equations made every topic seem really easy, and he was really helpful. The tests had some weird things on them, but he and the TA pretty much gave us the answers to it anyway. Some might have trouble with his accent, but it's not hard t
Make sure you understand all of the homework questions. Exam questions are taken from homework, but they are generally the most difficult ones. He allows one page of notes for exams which is helpful. Final exam is worth 40%, but his review is extremely good.
I took him during the summer and we had 5 tests. The tests weren't difficult as he curved but I had to teach the material myself because I found his accent to be too thick. I got a B overall because I didn't do well on the final but I found the review to be helpful. He doesn't give partial credit, which sucks. He's okay, but take another teacher.
I don't know why a lot student's struggle in this class. To me, it was moderately easy. Learning Matrices is easy, but learning Vectors can be tough, but overall simple to grasp. Yes, he has an accent, but I still understood him, and he also has a sense of humor, I found it very funny every time he said CO-FACTOR that it sounded like CO-Fword, ;)
Good Professor,accent is not too bad.His exams come from HW but a little more difficult,he'll help you if you need it.Just do the hw and you should be fine.
I took his first college algebra class and it was not easy for someone who is math challenged. He takes his questions for the tests directly from the homework so for someone who is like me I recommend either another teacher or do your homework ahead of time and use the GEM center. He doesn't take attendance but it is best if you attend class.
He gives useless notes, and assigns us homework from the book "as practice". He does not check our homework, so we have no clue if we are right or not. He assigns us even-numbered problems and gives us an answer book for the odd-numbered problems. Half the time you cannot hear or understand what he says.
Hardest Class I have taken in college so far. His accent and lectures are very challenging to comprehend. Wish I could have taken class elsewhere. All lectures are just examples. Doesn't really tell you why he is doing what he is doing on the board either.
He really cant teach, so if your looking to learn something dont sign up for the class with him. And he uses all these problems on homework and tests that arent in the book or lecture.
class is really easy. its not the teacher's fault if you don't take time out to learn the stuff. he's just a regular college professor who wants you to work hard. made an A+ in the class, just do the homework he assigns from the book
He has a heavy accent; though that's not really a character flaw, I had trouble understanding him. He works problems with little explanation, and he had an unusual grading system for the homework (he'd choose a few problems to grade, and ignore the rest) I wouldn't recommend him. I retook this class to get a better grade and got worse. From C to F
Took this professor a year ago but know a lot of people that still have him. He isn't as hard as people make him out to be. The key is that you have to study much harder than in most classes. The class is a freshman level class so most complaints are going to come from younger students that expect to receive A's with minimal effort.
very easy class! easier than other calculus classes offered in UTDALLAS. made an A
Good teacher overall. You must study outside of class to make even a C, but you can't expect to skate through multi var calc. Don't be scared to sign up, if you try you should at least pass.
If you don't naturally understand math, don't expect to do well without ridiculous amounts of studying. His accent is heavy and generally does not explain the problems, just expects you to understand. Also talks down to students who don't understand.
Read from notes, and told us how dumb we were for having to take algebra.
Don't take any of his classes unless you want to suffer the entire semester. He has a very thick accent and is never around to help. The best thing would be to have a good TA.
Please Stay AWAY from any class his teaches! When you need help, he isn't very helpful. It doesn't end there, he also makes you feel stupid and gets on your nerves.
Completely unfit to teach. Its evident because he can't students and isn't helpful.
His applied calc i class was really easy. I slept through it most days and got an A-, but was also in PLTL.
I truly think that he doesn't like teaching! He is never in his office when you need help and whenever you find him, he doesn't even help. Makes you feel stupid in class and presumes that we know everything.
If you attend his class, and do all the homework and quiz's he will NOT fail you. Just work hard and you will pass.
Pretty good teacher. He takes time in class to make sure that everyone is following the math and when people don't understand he is willing to go back and reexplain basic concept from earlier math so that you can understand. All of the complaints on this site are from people that can't even use correct grammer; so, perhaps you shouldn't listen to i
If you study, you will do well. Expect to spend 5-8 hours a week on the online homework; get help from the GEMS math center. DO NOT trust him on what he says for the final exam; he said that our test would be easy/ close to certain questions on the past tests. The final covered the same general concepts, but was not like this and was pretty hard.
If you want to do well on the exams-make sure you understand EVERYTHING conceptually and do not fall behind. Practice all of the "word problems" in each section of the book. Fair warning--he determines your final grade based on where you fall in the class at the end. Had a B average yet received a C+, and I was not the only one to experience this.
Took this class in the summer. He lets out early unless students have questions. Never used the textbook. Don't bother buying it. Very easy class. HM work assignments are on-line. This is the only part I didn't like. He gives great reviews, exactly like the test except for different numbers of course. His accent isn't that bad. He likes to joke too
This is the only undergrad class Anatoly teaches. He is very smart and knows what he is doing, but his lectures are not helpful for the homework or the exams. You need to have a mathematical intuition in order to complete the homework or exams.
Worst professor ever. I know UTD is known for its horrible math professors, but this guy tops it. There's no review for the exams, there's nothing to study, the homework problems are very difficult. The lecture, homework, and exam have very little to do with each other. The average to the exams were 50-70. Horrible professor, just general.
He's *not* a horrible teacher, but his accent is kinda thick, and he's kinda unclear when he teaches. Also the class is pretty hard. At least he's kinda funny.
He's not a bad teacher, but I don't understand anything he says in class. It's just not clear to me until I go home and figure it out on my own. I would rather have a different professor... If you've taken calculus before you will enjoy his class, unlike me. It would be helpful to have a clear explanation.

He is a nice person.But he does not explain very well.It is hard to understand him with his thick accent.Assignments are extremely difficult and time consuming.It does not matter if you go to class or not, you will have to figure out everything on your own.
Incredibly difficult to understand. He goes off on little tangents and only writes things on the bored.
Terribly boring, and writes a lot of theory based equations on the board. Went straight for the facts and rules and made everything much more complex than needed to be. Half the students in my class skipped all the time. Attendance not mandatory.
Eydelzon is actually a pretty funny guy. If you took Calc BC like me in high school, this class will be fairly easy for you. Online HW's shouldn't take more than an hour. Exams are very challenging but definitely not impossible. Has a thick accent that will take at least a week to get used to. You should read the book to understand topics.
You will do fine if you have a strong calc background, proficient in integration&differentiation. Exams are tough, but study hard and you should get at least a B. I found the book useful on brushing up on topics. He's nice and puts weekly reviews and exam reviews on elearning to help you prep, its up to you to do them.
Funny professor! not great at explaining but the exams and the quizes were fairly easy.
Class is not that difficult if you study for the exams. Quizzes are straightforward, occasionally having a hard problem. Eydelzon is funny but not very clear in explaining.
His accent is very hard to understand and his writing isn't that clear either. Highly recommend taking this class with a different professor.
Class is not hard if you try and complete all the work diligently. But TA Ming Chen was terrible.
Hard to understand but if you don't show up, it definitely will be worse
Is not a "hard" class. Teacher is nice but can be hard to understand at times. Class always let out early (sometimes even after a half hour. Tests were straight forward, no hidden surprises or anything crazy. If you did the HW, the test problems were almost the same. If you are non STEM, I would definitely recommend.
Know that Diff Eq is a "cookbook" class and the theory is not supposed to be completely understood (Don't rely too heavily on the book) but Anatoly does a lot to put your mind at ease by shedding theoretical insight here and there. He builds up the material in a coherent manner and appeals to ideas from linear algebra. Tests are similar to the HW.
Going to class is not mandatory as you can learn everything by looking at the textbook. Some say his Russian accent is hard to understand but I'm used to it. I honestly cannot give an opinion about this guy, he sure doesn't seem to care much about his students, he's just there to teach because it's his job...
The lectures are a bit long and his accent can be quite distracting if you're not used to a Russian accent. I barely understand anything at all so going to the problem section would be better than going to the lectures. If you got the textbook, use it. Some questions on the hw is from the textbook and sometimes it explains examples better.
His accent is a little bit difficult but at UTD if you can't understood accents you're sol. This is a difficult class to take and he does try to make it as easy as he can without completely dumbing it down. He is quite funny and always helps you whenever you need a question answered. It takes hard work to pass the class.
Kinda hard to understand at first but it's not bad at all, you get used to his accent.
I loove math and I'm an A-student but God did I hate this prof. I learned EVERYTHING for the first test but got 53 because of the way he organized the questions (turns out we didn't have to compute, well, thanks for notifying in advance) and didn't announce time. PURPOSELY fails people. WORST at explaining, TA was so much better. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
Tough class. Be prepared to work hard and pay attention at lectures.
Dr. Eydelzon is not as scary as he seems. The class is hard but he knows the material well. His accent is difficult to understand but you will get the hang of it eventually. Just make sure to study and do the homework. I would recommend going to class even though it is not mandatory because the lectures actually helped me.
He has an accent; deal with it. Other than that, he does a solid job of explaining concepts and using common sense and logic. He tries to put the material in the context of practical applications. I enjoy his class and wouldn't mind taking again.
Professor Anatoly is great professor, he conveys the material really well and helps you learn the topic completely. Although his exams may be slightly difficult, it's nothing you cant handle if you want to do well anyway. Definitely recommend.
He was just not a good professor. If you can, take a different professor. Unfortunately, I could not, and that really killed me because I did not understand a single thing that was going on. And I read the textbook. But he was not helpful.
I've taken Anatoly for Calc 2 and am taking him right now for Differential Equations. I know a lot of people complain about him but I find his teaching helpful. Out of all the professors I've met he cares the most about his students and truly wants you to succeed.
His accent isn't too hard to understand, just sit in the front because he is quiet and his handwriting is small. He will help you and is open to questions. I think he explains the more difficult concepts of calc II pretty well.
This course was hard, but it's Calculus II. If you put in the effort, you should do just fine. Some of the homeworks are VERY long, but they're for your benefit so you force yourself to really understand the material. If you go to his office hours, he's willing to guide you on the more complicated problems. The book is quite helpful, too
He is a very good professor. He is funny and his exams are super easy. If you know all your homework you will get an A in the class. Take him
Anatoly Is more than just a Professor, he is also my father. Not bioLogically, but spiritually. He has taught me much more then math. AnatoLy has given me wisdom On the many facets of the reVal world. He wants you to undErstand the material, and bY understanding the material yOu understand yourself. To Understand Antaloy, understand however however
Anatoly is a good professor however however you should study. In fact in fact I recommend watching some ProfRobBob's YT videos (or whatever you like) to supplement and do plenty of practice from the book. Sometimes he gets deep, actually actually he's hilarious
I have NO idea why he's rated so low. One of the best math teachers I think I've had. Went to him to get a few problems explained and he was willing to help. He explains everything very well in class in a memorable way, brings in things for understanding even if it's not on exams unlike some other teachers who stick to the curriculum.
Anatoly is honestly a pretty good teacher from my experience in Calc this semester. The class goes pretty fast and if you do not review beforehand, it gets pretty tough to keep up.. His accent is quite hard to understand in the beginning, but you get used to it after a few weeks. Attendance is not mandatory,but I recommend going to test review days
He is not a bad teacher overall, but he is really hard to understand. I had to supplement his lectures with another professor's to truly understand some of the topics. He says funny things sometimes, but oftentimes, in the midst of trying to understand the material and work through his accent, it was hard to calm down and laugh.
The material is somewhat difficult, but Anatoly grades extremely hard - no partial credit. He is also unwilling to review before any exams. The quizzes were easy, but there is too much material that the exams were ridiculously difficult to study for.
Anatoly is great. Gives reviews before tests and covers material at a good speed.
Accent is very hard to understand, I study the material at home by using the book or from the TA, I didn't learn much during the lecture, avoid him if you can.
Accent is very hard to understand, makes tests extremely hard, and does not curve tests. The ultimate failing Calculus 2 starter pack. Take at your own risk.
Anatoly is a good professor. However because of his accent it can be really hard to understand him and you will get distracted easily. If you work a little outside of class and try hard to understand in class you will do well.
Took for Linear Algebra. Accent doesn't help in understanding the concepts. Exams are way harder than the homework and quizzes which are also pretty confusing without the help of a TA or math lab. Lectures are border line useless Take linear elsewhere
I would highly recommend avoiding this teacher. If you can get past his deep accent, you still will struggle with his lectures because he doesn't do any practice problems. He is more "theory" heavy in his lectures. He also takes off on your tests after the TA's have graded them which is very unfair.
Accent wasn't very hard for me to get through, however his lectures were too much theory and not enough examples. Also, tests were not very similar to the homework.
Lectures are not bad, and he tries to make jokes during class. Shows theory and lots of examples. Very chill, and pretty nice outside of class. Has a great drop homework and drop quiz policy, so if you keep up with the material you'll do fine. Tests are based completely off the homework, so just review the homework and you'll be fine.
He was just not a good professor. If you can, take a different professor. Unfortunately, I could not, and that really killed me because I did not understand a single thing that was going on. And I read the textbook but understanding the material is the hard part. Save your GPA at any cost
Hes a decent professor, he definitely knows what hes talking about. His accent isnt too bad to get by after a few days. His lectures are not mandatory but are worthwhile. You will have a weekly homework packet and quiz in your problem section. Definitely prepare to self-study not only for this professor but for all 2419 professors in general.
That wasn't a great teacher by any means. He is very quiet and has a very heavy accent. If you do end up getting him just sit in the front and stay quiet.
He teaches in a very straightforward, easy-to-follow manner. His heavy use of examples in class helps make much of the math intuitive.
Definitely knows what he's talking about, but has a problem communicating the content effectively to his students. He's not very accessible in terms of office hours.
Contrary to some of these other reviews, I thought Anatoly was pretty solid. Attendance is not mandatory, but theres no point in taking this class if you don't regularly go. MATH2419 is already *hard* content. You won't learn as much if you don't go to every lecture. I never tried office hours, but asking questions right after class always worked.
His lectures are pretty dry and feels disorganized, and he tends to go on long tangents. It often feels like he's just trying to fill up time in the lecture with these random tangents and this can sometimes lead to few practice problems being done in class.
Accent is a mixture of Indian and Russian, and he makes no effort to enunciate or clarify his words. Writes notes on whiteboard in bad marker, stands in front of it, then erases it as soon as he moves. Posts no notes online. Be prepared to teach yourself from textbook. If optional, delay taking the class to get other professor. Thought I knew math.
Calc 2 has a common grading scheme with common homeworks and quizzes for all the students no matter who teaches them. But Dr. Eydelzon is awesome. He gives you the material that you really need to know, and sometimes gives you some mathematical theory to go along with the topic. He is funny and engaging but obviously, it is still advanced calculus.
While he clearly has a love for math, his teaching style made it difficult to get a solid grasp on the material; he often went on theoretical tangents. He has a heavy accent, but it wasn't too hard to understand what he was saying. Could've implemented more examples. I ended up learning most things from the textbook
Had Dr. Eydelzon for Cal 2. The roadblocks there are a heavy accent and miniscule handwriting. Otherwise, solid prof. Did many examples in class, and one time he showed us how to graph a weed leaf on our calculator so that was cool. He was hilarious! Good stories.
Anatoly teaches right out of the book, and he does not make much sense in his lectures, but his homework is from examples of each chapter, he gives test reviews and the test is the review word for word, and on finals.
Professor Anatoly is a really good math professor. His accent is really heavy but you will get used to it. He made me love maths again after horrible experience of 2413. He gives a lot of examples in his lecture which is a plus point. Read everything you did in the class each day, you will definitely pass the class with flying colors.
Took in summer: Chill guy with cool dry humor. His lectures can be confusing sometimes for Calc 3, but he gives lots of practice examples. You may need to read the book to really learn the content. Exams are very similar to hw/quizzes and he tells you exactly what you need to know (its a department exam). Honestly an underrated prof
Dr. Eydelzon can make tough concepts in Math easier by example. He delves into the theory behind the Math to make you gain some more appreciation for the subject and have a deeper understanding it. I don't really blame him for my lacklustre grades. They give you a lot of work, actually do it and you'll do great
Dr. Eydelzon wasn't a very good professor. While he has a heavy accent, it is understandable however he spends too much time explaining the theory and derivations of concepts and spends little time actually working examples in class. His lectures are often confusing and you will spend more time learning by just reading the textbook.
He has a tough accent, however, over time you get used to it. He's very knowledgeable and shows the proofs behind each formula you use. He's pretty funny and makes calculus somewhat more enjoyable. The only thing I didn't like, though, was that he doesn't post his lectures and does everything from memory, so sometimes he forgets things.
He's a pretty funny guy. You eventually will get used to his accent. He could've taught a little better, maybe less theory oriented.
The calculus curriculum is fairly standard with all the professors. Professor Ezelydon has a slight accent so if you have trouble with that then maybe pick a different professor. His lectures are pretty boring, so make sure you pay attention during problem section if you don't in class.
Very enjoyable professor, amazing teacher. Might be biased because I like math a lot but I think he's great. Very funny, too. Take him if you enjoy math.
TERRIBLE PROFESSOR. Don't pay attention to the people here who say he is a great professor. He is so hard to understand(accent wise), boring, and annoying. He always talks about theory of math and derivations in his lectures instead of going over examples and actually teaching you how to solve questions. Very long and hard homework with no feedbac
He specifically said he makes his classes hard so people can get seem better when they are applying to med school. I skipped classes after a month and learned through PLTL, definitely the better choice for me. He also talks about really conceptual stuff that he says we won't really need, but we don't have enough time for a review. Take anybody else
Hes an unprofessional, no energy professor. He created notes on paper and reads off of the paper word for word during lecture. He doesnt show us any examples to do together in class as I think every math professor should do examples in class. I learn visual so this doesnt help when only reads off the paper. Overall, dont take this professor.
I loved Dr. Eydelzon! I recommend sitting towards the front as you can typically converse with him before / after class and he helps understand the concepts better if you originally didn't grasp it. Overall, super nice and incredibly smart guy!
Don't listen to those who say he is a good professor because he isn't. He makes his own handwritten notes, which is something new he has done since spring break. He reads off the notes word for word, and shows no visual examples, It was harder for me to learn because I learn visual. Don't recommend, unless you want to learn nothing.. To Be Honest!
He changed the format of this class so that we would have a test every week which ultimately did not help in absorbing the material as well, and all I can recommend is to be familiar with the textbook as he does pull problems from there. Be especially careful of his final exam as it is quite different from the exams you take in class.
Does not respond to any attempts to get in contact with him, and if he does it's with vague one sentence answers. I attended every class and problem section yet I feel as though I taught myself more than he ever did.
Lecture notes always have typos; he'll point it out in class but never goes back & actually fixes them. I took one of the weekly exams based off the lecture note formulas & got questions wrong because he couldn't even get basic equations right. Just self teach using the textbook. Lectures are just him reading the notes word for word.
Do not take Dr. Eydelzon for Calc 2 if avoidable because he lacks enthusiasm to teach! I understood that he dislikes it when struggling students attempt to learn and master the material. In short, he is an elitist who is full of himself and only caters to the top performers in his class while the rest of us are insects crawling on his ivory tower.
Very fast paced teaching style that often skips through things that might need to be repeated in class. Although he is very knowledgeable in his field, he just doesn't know how to teach effectively. For context, I received an A in 2417, and in this class, I tried my hardest while still in PLTL but nothing made sense.
While he is very knowledgeable, he can be very confusing in lectures. You will have to be very dependent on the textbook.
He may know his stuff, but I can't recommend. He reads directly off the notes and doesn't elaborate much on certain concepts, thus making it all very vague. Biweekly tests, and only 3 random questions of each HW are graded. Maybe not his fault, but this is a terrible grading system considering the time we put into each HW. Just learn from textbook.
The lectures are not worth attending because he only reads off his notes (based exactly on the textbook he assigns). Also, there are many errors in most of his notes, so it is best to read from the textbook and learn independently. Finally, biweekly exams can seem daunting, but if you do the weekly homework you will be well prepared for them.
Biweekly exams. BE CAREFUL about the final. It varied a lot from the regular exams and rather difficult. The average was below his target yet he said he did not want to curve causing a MAJORITY of people to fail (final) and dropping a whole letter grade that they had maintained all semester. Grading was harsh small mistake on exam is worth 6 points
Better to learn from youtube and the final is completely different than the normal exams.
Professor Anatoly is a good professor. He is really professional in the math field. You have to study because this is the math class. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask. He is always willing to help. If you don't understand the concept, even you got an A. It does not mean you know the math. He will give you the grade you are worth!
"It's not my job to teach you how to do this." This professor does not explain to the extent that we need to know the material. He does not graph, which is a heavy portion of the class. His only redeeming trait is that he is funny. He continuously asks us to look in the textbook and does not draw or explain how things work.
Dr. Eyzeldon relied on examples - but wouldn't always say what he was solving for or how he was doing it. I'd frequently finish copying down a long example he had worked without being 100% certain of what the question (or answer) was. I'd recommend taking Dr. Zweck instead - his students always seemed like they knew it the best. Sit in the front.
This professor was very hard to understand and expected all students to know topics beforehand and never actually did teach what he was supposed to. Gave EXTREMELY tough homeworks and exams and never taught anything about it. Expected students to know everything. Do not take him if possible.
Honestly doesnt matter who you take for integral math because all of them are incompetent. Rely on Amans lectures and YouTube to understand the concepts. Make sure to do well on hw and quizzes, which is doable if you pay attention in problem section. Test are not extremely difficult, however the Tas take a lot of points of for simple mistakes.
I will say that if you show that your test has been misgraded he will correct that. But his teaching is incredibly hard to follow, after a few days of his class I had to use the other prof for this course to understand the material.
Great lectures that walked through each concept better than the textbook did. Definitely attend the problem sections if you want to do well on the tests.
Just a warning for those who will take Calculus II with Dr. Eydelzon, please rely on the textbook rather than any of Dr. Eydelzon's lectures. His lectures are basically incomprehensible and it's clear he doesn't even want to be there. If you can, please avoid taking this course with him because you won't get much out of it.
Professor Eydelzon is a nice person, but the class is extremely difficult to understand. The explanations are confusing and you don't really get much out of attending the lectures. However, the quizzes and homeworks are open book and open note, which is helpful. The exams are extremely difficult (especially the final), even if you study.
This professor is hard to understand and his classes are boring. His final exam was so hard and I didn't do very well on it.
The lectures aren't helpful and the tests should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
Anatoly is incredibly difficult to understand. I appreciate he doesn't make attendance mandatory, because from someone who came in with limited calculus knowledge, with him talking reviewing intergrals on the first day, and a couple of his lectures after that in no exaggeration I learnt nothing. This is not a beginner friendly class.
"this department is broken"- Anatoly Eydelzon. About sums it up. I have never met a professor more amused at student's failure. Would highly recommend taking this at community college. Tests were graded unevenly, with each student receiving different amounts of points off for missing the same parts of the problem.
Eydelzon was a memorable professor with a blunt demeanor. He'd enter class unannounced, write on the whiteboard, and leave just the same. He emphasized that learning is the student's responsibility, urging us to teach ourselves. Though his style may not suit everyone, I respected his approach, which fostered self-reliance and critical thinking.
His teaching style is mundane and does not care whether his students pass or fail. His accent makes him hard to near impossible to understand, which would be fine if you could read what he writes on the whiteboard. If you take this professor, you will fully have to rely on your TA and Youtube to pass. Avoid at all costs.
I wouldn't have rated him so bad if it weren't from the fact his accent and handwriting are unintelligible. Its difficult to understand his process when he's scribbling on the whiteboard and talks with a thick accent. He has admitted he doesn't care if you pass or fail. I'm surprised I didn't fail. Do not take him
Terrible. not sure HOW UTD hires. It's RIDICULOUS to pay tuition yet learn everything on ur own through youtube videos and chatgpt. Some people are simply not made to teach and ik it is his job, but it is making the lives of students AWFUL. Unsure how this is a fulfilling career for him at all, he isn't helping students in any way shape or form.
There is literally no point of showing up to his class, you won't be able to understand his lectures. Save your gpa and time (your going to have to learn everything on your own anyway). Do not take him at all costs, it is genuinely better to not take the class if you have him.
He was just an average professor. He wasn't the worst professor in the world but he wasn't the best either.
