This class will definitely test your patience. With confusing explanations as well as smart-Alek responses for genuine questions, this class is extremely frustrating. There is an excessive amount of homework and three midterms. If not done, you will be left in the dark. It's difficult to respect a teacher who can't do the same for their students.

He expects you to learn Calculus from the book and through tutoring. He will only teach the theory and give very little examples. His test are extremely difficult.

I could write a book on this class & how much a negative experience this was. For starters, first class I EVER had to drop or even came close to failing. When emailing him, expect a short answer that is very degrading & answers none of your questions. You will have three midterms & one final, it is very fast paced, confusing, & you get no help.

Heavy homework load for summer. He does make himself available to help you when needed. Attitude is subject to change from friendly to rude.

Excellent all around and no textbook is required. The work itself is on Knewton which is 115$. The only thing that was bad is that he is missing powerpoints for the sections past the 1/2 way point which makes the latter sections worse. Overall he cares about your success and is easy to reach. It is a hard subject though so you still need to study.

Best communication with an online professor I have ever had. If you put in the hard work and time, you reap a lot from Professor Butenko's class. Professor Butenko is attentive and responds back to questions in a prompt manner. Would recommend this course to anyone and everyone. There is a lot of homework and the mid-terms are challenging.

Butenko is an awesome professor. Go to his office hours/post test interviews. He'll help you go over the tests you've taken and will give great feedback. Also, make sure to stay on top of your homework.

At first i didnt like knewton because it felt impersonal but the professor hosts post exam interviews, offers great feedback, and knewton allows for you to take a high amount of practice questions that you will be specifically tested on and how they want you to do the problems is verry clear. I highly prefer this professor, i enjoy his lectures.

Butenko was very accessible and instructions were clear. However, three midterms, three pre-midterms, post exam interview and a final exam that worth a huge percent of your grade can make or break your grade. While late work is accepted, you have to keep up to make good progress in this class. If tests aren't your strength, look elsewhere.

This professor was very boring in his videos. His videos and notes are worded exactly the same so if you don't get one version, you'll most likely be lost on the other version. This was supposed to be an intro to stats class and unless you did actually take stats in HS, or are good at math naturally, wouldn't recommend.

Be mindful if you decide to take his courses there are lots of assignments due everyday (including weekends), so keeping up on assignments are so important or you'll be drowning in them. Every test and midterm has practice ones, so it makes it easy to know what will be expected. He also provides video walk-throughs for projects.

His online course was one of the most organized I've ever taken. This class was a 6-week summer course so it was heavy on assignments. There were quizzes for each module (15 total), 3 Midterms, 1 cumulative final and multiple homework assignments. As long as you know how to do the homework problems, you'll be fine on the exams and quizzes.

If you're an A student, he will nitpick all your work even if its right. I didn't like it, but if you get an A, you'll find out why. Homework & quizzes are assigned & due last minute. You will have to do problems in front of the class. He's a pain, but overall, likeable & kind of funny. Late work is allowed, but it's a good way to get behind.

The professor is very nice and lenient on assignments and you can retake the homework assignments up to 100 times but other than that try to get 100 on your homework assignments.

Professor Butenko is incredibly organized, and his course reflects it well. The course is workload heavy, but there is a lot to cover so it's necessary, and not the fault of the professor. If you stay on task and take lots of notes you'll do just fine. He takes a minute to respond, but is fairly understanding with an expectation for common sense.
