He is a good professor based on his ability to relate you. First and foremost, he has no problem slowing things down to the point where he explaining it to you as if you are a five year old. This is refreshing because some professors do not care if you completely understand the material, and they will just keep trudging on through the class.

He is a solid teacher, he is very chill and makes it easy to learn. Very approachable and will answer any questions you have. Unfortunately the math department makes it extremely difficult with what he is allowed to do and not do. Tests are all on the computer which sucks so hopefully they get away with that as there is barley any partial credit.

He goes over material very well if you go to class you should pass the course. you do have to do the Hw or else you will fail the class. if you don't understand something he will find multiple ways to explain it to you until you get it. one thing is that the class does sometimes go over the time limit. would definitely take him again.

Very good teacher that accentuates on the theory of calculus. You have to go home a do the homework and actually practice it, but you have a better understanding of the math. Don't expect to just go to class and do examples that you will find on the test, but you will understand the logic behind the math much more.

You have a quiz everyday of lab, but there's practice quizzes and test available to you and if you do them you will definitely pass every single test & quiz!

I like this professor because his teaching style challenges me and I really learn something with him. The only downside to his teaching method is he goes a little to fast and does not give enough examples. Sometimes it is hard to keep up but if you dont miss class you should be fine.
