hard fair class.

Very willing to help you however possible. Class is long and boring, but he explains everything very clearly. Tests are tough, but fi you pay attention in class then you shouldn't have a problem.

Prof. Nevai made Diff Eq enjoyable and actually fun. He was flexible in his teaching methods, sympathetic to different learning styles, and very accessible outside of class. He offered an adequate opportunity to succeed in this class, which is more than can be said about some other math faculty. I would take any class with Prof. Nevai.

Ok, I did my hw, askd him questions, studied like crazy. Material is not hard but his tests were ridiculous. He's a nice teacher and will answer ne questions. I mean in my class 10/50 made above a 60. Curves the tests but they were hard!!

The material is easy to understand, but the tests are absolutely, positively, 100% ridiculous! Take this professor, ONLY if you already took MAC 2311 before.

Let's face it, nobody really does a superb job in calc...but if you take Dr. Nevai you will do well. He grades tests on a curve based on your classes mean (most tests the mean is 50ish, so if you get a 50 you get a c-)...also gives 5 points ec per test...all you need to do is a simple poem or something and email it to him. He is a very good teacher

Very good professor. Its calculus, its not always easy but he is very willing to help out if you are having a problem. Some test questions are a little off the wall but he offers extra credit on each test and the curve is HUGE. If you do your hw regularly and study, you should do fine.

He gives pop quizes, and his tests are really difficult. but he speaks good english (which is a big deal in our math department) I suggest going to the math lab if you take this class. It is the only reason i passed (along with the curve and extra credit he offers). Overall good teacher, i would take him again if i could! =]

you have to do all the hw. he doesnt assign any, but id say just do the odds of each section. his class is alright. his exams are hard and he expects you to study everything, but not everything is on the test. but all tests are curved, so if you do ur hw, study, and visit the math lab, you will be fine.

He was a great professor for DE.. He grades hard, but curves. I really enjoyed his class, espcially for a math class. He makes the class enjoyable and is a great lecturer, its just a miserable class.

hate this class. First class i had to retake at ucf

He was a good teacher I think. Gave our class 5 extra credit points (for each 3 tests) for a creative work that related to our studies. Tests were brutal, when I got my grades back I thought for sure I would fail but I ended up with a C+ because of class average he ended up curving. But I enjoyed taking this class, felt like I learned a lot.

he's VERY hard don't recommend him if you want an easy professor, test are ridiculous and he asks EVERYTHING so make sure you study everything he has a pretty descent curve you learn a lot, but its not easy

Easiest Logic and Proof class! Take him if you want an easy A. Plus lectures online so no need to go to class.

Good professor. He gives lots of notes, so be prepared to write a lot! His tests are challenging, but are fair. Questions are similar to those in the book and examples discussed in class. He gives random pop quizzes, but sometimes they are only attendance quizzes, so make sure to attend class! Study and you will be ok!

Don't take this guy if you don't have to. His notes come straight from the textbook and the homework is absolutely ridiculous. Only plus I would say is that he speaks crystal clear English, but what he teaches is very inconsistent on what he evaluates his students by.

This teacher is absolutely crazy. I am a math major and I love proofs but he made it impossible for anyone to do well. Half of the class dropped by the withdrawl deadline because everyone was failing. He isn't compassionate and his homework and tests are so difficult that no one has gotten an A on anything in this class. Don't take him.

Amazing professor. He teaches very thoroughly and makes the material fun. The tests are a little difficult but more than fair. He uses MathLabs but doesn't assign much homework at all (usually 20 questions per section and we covered 3 sections a week). Take this professor if you can.

Dr. Nevai explains concepts crystal clear, like he is proving something to a dissertation committee. But this didn't teach me how to solve problems. The only reason I didn't get below a C in the class was because I went to Supplemental Instruction 3 days a week and mathlab every day. There I learned how to actually do the math.

If you want an A I don't recommend him, however, if you want to learn he's one of the best math teachers I've come across (Math Major). Our class started with 60 people and ~45 dropped due to difficulty but he curved our grades at the end to the point I went from a high C to an A.

Very good professor. Though the lectures are long (summer class), he tries to keep you interested the best he can. He is a fair grader (curves based on mean of class). Would definitely recommend him if you want to learn the calculus well.

Professor Nevai is great at explaining course material and produces excellent notes and examples. However, I would not recommend him. His tests and quizzes are brutal and he's an unfair grader. He does give opportunities for extra credit but they don't really help out in the end.

Dr. Nevai is a great professor. He's kind of weird in ways but at the end of the day, the course material is explained very clearly. Just doing the homework in this class will not let you pass. He is very vague as to what material is expected for the exams so you must know ALL of it. Work hard and you'll pass just fine. Highly recommended.

You have to take really good notes in order to have a chance. (His lecture speed is slow so its easy). His notes and lectures are super clear, but he goes deeper into the diffy q curriculum than other professors. Because of this his class is much harder than the others. He gives a generous curve and is a pretty cool guy. Study hard

He is very clear in his lectures, just there is A LOT of material and a tough subject. He curves and provides easy extra credit. I recommend taking him for differential equations. Try not to miss class as a lot of material is covered in a single class.

He's a really great person but his class can be very challenging. There is a HUGE jump between the class work and the homework, and a pretty big jump between the homework and the exams. He is very helpful during office hours but you have to be prepared with specific questions as he doesn't give anything away. Very clear and nice during lectures!

Great professor! His lectures are thorough, and he addressed all concept concerns the class before exams. Excellent office hours. You need the online textbook code for homework, but didn't use book. Curved at the end of class, offered EC on exams. Be thorough and careful when studying, extremely comprehensive exams (lecture notes are best IMHO)

Great professor, takes difficult calc 2 concepts and makes them easy to understand, every test has a little extra credit

Notes are taken in class, so if you miss class, you'll miss a lot.

This course has no real textbook so ALL his notes come solely from him. If you skip class, you'll be completely lost. There is a big gap between lectures and homework, but everything really does tie together if you spend the time thinking about it and applying it. No tests and all homework is take-home. He is super helpful if you go to his office.

This was quite possibly the best math class I have ever taken. The concepts are easy to understand and he really tries to make the lectures fun and comprehensive. If you plan on skipping class frequently, I would not recommend him. However, if you DO attend class, you should be more than fine.

Probably my most preferred lecture style. Dr. Nevai wrote the entirety of the notes and even included his explanations in writing. As he was writing notes he would read out loud what he was writing. The pace was slow, which allowed the mind to digest what was being presented. Homeworks are challenging, and require out of the box thinking. Good.

Nevai was a tough professor but he was definitely a good one. He doesn't do in class questions so if you want to bug him during lecture, don't bother. He has a schedule to get through and is always promoting question time during his office hours, SI, the GAs, etc. Tests were intense but the grading scale was fair. Recitation should be worth more.

Knows the subject (Mathematical Bio) extremely well. Lectures can be heavy (take notes) and compose his tests (can be on-site, can be take-home). Online quizzes are easy if you took notes and get the material. USE THE SOFTWARE, IT'LL SAVE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR GRADE!!1!ONE!! Really chill with grading and accessible during office hours.

Make sure to take detailed notes on all of the lecture material that Dr. Nevai writes on the board. You can skip the proofs if your hand gets tired. Lectures were always clear and well thought-out. Read over your notes later the same day, and again one week later. If you understand the homework and all of the lecture notes, tests will be fine.

Very neatly done notes. Reliable structure. Uses unusual vocabulary but still understandable.

The notes are very straightforward and he gives examples throughout the lecture, just get ready to write a lot of notes down. He also has extra credit opportunities for each of the midterms and the final. The online homework can get pretty ridiculous in difficulty at times, especially near the end of the semester.

GOD I love this man. Small class size gave a personal relationship with Prof Nevai, and he really tries to make diff eq interesting. If you liked calculus, you'll like this class. Very structured notes, open to questions, puts a lot of effort into his work. Very heavy on theoretical understanding and notation though, lost a bunch of points on exams

I took Andrew Nevai for mathematical biology. His passion for teaching shows every class. Moreover, he gives respect to each student equally. The homeworks (which were worth 80% of the final grade) are rather challenging, but any math major should be able to ace them with dedication.

This man is different than most UCF professors, he spends A LOT of time preparing his material, presentation and HW. He actually made the hardest class understandable. Very caring person, wants you to succeed.. He would always encourage me to come to his office hours when I struggled on HW. Hard work, but I would highly recommend! I'M GRADUATING!

He is amazing and really fair for grading. He is the best! I love math because of him.

He is passionate about what he is teaching and explains things very thoroughly. Just be ready to memorize a lot of information on his tests. The tests were always pretty fair, though, and all had extra credit opportunities. Lectures were long, and notes were extensive, but he made an effort to keep the class engaged.

I took him for mathbio 1 and 2. He explains the material very efficiently and effectively. Grades were based off of quizzes on webcourses and several difficult but doable homework assignments. Mathbio 2 also had a project as well. He is very accessible outside of class and very helpful. Definitely some of the best math classes I have taken.

Although his lectures are almost identical to the textbook, you learn a lot from his lectures that would be harder to learn from the book. He does a good job of explaining proofs and tries to make sure everyone can understand. Homework assignments are long and challenging, but he was always helpful during office hours. Great professor overall.

Took MAP4484 + MAP4494 as Bio major during COVID. Reasonably challenging; however, continuously working toward comprehension and mastery is rewarded and reflected in grades - points for completion and correctness. Strength of math background major factor of success, but Nevai is always available for questions. Plus, he can be funny and quirky.

Probably the most time-consuming classes I've taken in college. The homework assignments are challenging, and you *will* fail if you wait until the last minute. Despite the workload, I loved the class. The material is really interesting, and Nevai was happy to answer any questions I had. The class is basically all math, for you biology students.

Made Linear Algebra a cakewalk. Didn't even need to read the textbook; his lectures were more than enough to get me through the homework and midterms. Has weekly quizzes but they're open book/note so they're really just homework assignments. And he's very helpful in office hours. Just show up to class, pay attention, take notes, and do the homework

Densely packed course with a ton of exams and quizzes. Notes are posted online for a limited time and are very in depth. Large amount of time in between homeworks. Appreciated how professor Nevai attempted to answer my random, tangentially related questions. Main drawback for me was graded attendance and graded in class participation in activities.

Summer course C. His recorded lectures and textbook readings were necessary, and his weekly homework made you apply learned ideas in a fashion he may not have shown you yet. Get ready to be creative; If you're stumped he always has office hours and is willing to show you how to solve adjacent or similar problems to anything you're stuck on. v cool.

He really goes in dept on the material and for the last 30ish minutes of the class he groups everyone up and has us all practice and then goes around and helps us all with the practice problems this practice is super helpful for the exams. Yes he is cryptic with exam questions but he is a good professor overall.

Understand a lot of where the bad reviews are coming from (especially the condescending parts) but I liked this course. Was online and was able to work at my own pace. Lectures were dense and contained everything needed to know. Quizzes were VERY detailed and note taking was essential. Exams were almost entirely conceptial but so were lectures

I took MAC2313 online and had to withdrawal from the class pretty early in the semester due to personal reasons. His quizzes and homework were very reasonable, although not much time to finish quizzes. I sent a couple emails to him and he was very caring and respectable. The class is hard though and will require a lot of your time!

Pros: - Always willing to help and expand on the material - In-class activities to practice - Very nice & quick to respond to emails Cons: - Lectures are a fast walkthrough of the slides - Slides are posted as videos and unpublished over time - In-class activities are not posted online - Exams are weighted a lot - Fair bit of theory in exams

Required 80% attendance grade, 60% average on quizzes, and 60% average on homework. Weekly quizzes based solely on lectures. 2 Midterms and a cumulative final, both based solely on lectures. Uploads his lectures notes but will delete them after a month. If you take good notes and are diligent, tests are easy and fair.

Extremely time consuming and difficult course, but despite the material, Dr. Nevai was a great professor. Lectures are regurgitations of posted slides. Exams are hard but not weighted much. Final is a 15 page single-spaced thesis project you write through the semester, which is hard if you pick something you don't find interesting. Would take again

Need 80% attndce to pass. Weekly HWs thru MyLab, due Weds or Fri, abt 40 questions/week. Lectures are very clear, answers questions thoroughly. Posts lectures as vids, deletes after exam, posts again before final. Must follow his lecture methods on exams or 0 pts. Go to class & understand his lecture methods and you'll do great. Exams are very fair

His class is heavily exam based. He does move a bit fast, though the class itself covers a lot of information. If you have a question, he does answer and explain, and he will get you an answer if he doesn't have one yet. He teaches off slides, but he will draw out problems if he feels he needs to or if someone asks. The class is hard, but possible.

Good Professor. Enjoyed the Class. Never read the textbook but his lectures were great to cover all the material. Just make sure you understand his lectures and the hw and youll be good

Andrew is a wonderful professor and will help you achieve all the successes you could possibly want in life. His notes are all PowerPoints but he does a great job explaining, and he has weekly online quizzes and homeworks that aren't difficult. The tests are pretty chill if you study his panopto videos and he's a nice grader. Andrew is my goat!

Has PowerPoint lectures, which I tend to struggle with, but was very good about explaining the steps on each slide. Moves fast, but there is a lot of content within the class, so it makes sense. A little slow with returning exam grades, but most other assignments are graded right away. Answers questions in class, wants you to succeed, keep up tho!

DE is a hard class, there's no easy way out. He simplifies the concepts to a certain extent, and the lectures are fast-paced, but are useful. He is a tough grader, but the questions follows the same pattern as the ones on the PowerPoint, so just go over those. Just study hard and put in the work, you'll be fine. Don't listen to the fearmongers.

I feel like people are too harsh. If you pay attention in lecture it's not hard to get a good grade. He explicitly tells you what to learn and things you shouldn't bother with. His notes are great for reviewing. Don't bother taking your own notes during lecture, he goes fast just listen. He's seems strict but he lowkey chill.

He's particular about how he runs his class that comes off strict but it is absolutely not unreasonable. If you do what you're supposed to do, you'll pass this class. His powerpoints are clear and gives you everything you need to understand content. Exams are more than fair, just study his powerpoints and practice.

Ask questions and attend office hours. The syllabus is scary and should be treated as such but if you attend class and study lecture slides and quizzes, you will pass. He is fair and understanding.

I like the way his class is organized, I feel like he gives a fair amount of time to complete each of the homework. He does appreciate any questions in lecture. He's pretty strict in that you have to follow the methods shown in lecture and are tested on them. But, his tests are extremely fair and easy to get A's on if you study. Follow the slides.

He is one of the best professors I've had at UCF! His notes are so clear, and his exams are so fair; if you attend class, write down his notes, and study them, you should have no problem doing well on the exams. The material can be tough to grasp on its own, but taking the time to do the homework and study his notes will set you up for success.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but you should show up to every lecture if you want to do well. His lectures were extremely helpful and easy to follow. I didn't need to read the textbook at all because he teaches clearly and methodically.
