He is very good at explaining concepts

By far, the best math teacher I've had at umbc

Best math teacher I have had at UMBC. He is a really great teacher. I like his style of teaching. He really makes sure students are following and explains very clearly. keeps open office hours, Extremely helpful. Willing to explain just about anything.Take all of his class! Especially 152

Dean's easy.

He is clear and gets right to the point with what we need to learn. His lectures will focus on about one section per day and he basically teaches what the book is trying to teach us but in a clear, organized step by step way with none of the analytical or extra b.s. the book has. All of his exams offered extra credit. Great class!

He's the best teacher ever. Goes straight to the point, and very helpful during office hours. Practice the examples he does n class, go over problems in quizzes and you are quaranteed an A in this class. Very simple and nice

He's the best teacher ever. Goes straight to the point, and very helpful during office hours. Practice the examples he does n class, go over problems in quizzes and you are quaranteed an A in this class. Very simple and nice

Best math teacher I have ever had. He teaches so well you dont even have to study.

Great professor! Notes are very clear & easy to understand. Quizzes & exams are straightforward & based off of the notes. He's very approachable & helpful during office hours. Plus he's cute! :) Definitely recommend taking him!

Really great prof, and one of the best math teachers I've ever had. Though it's a lot of writing in class, the notes he gives are very detailed and great to study from. As long as you show up to class and take notes, the class is easy to pass and there are no surprises on his exams at all. Great guy, pretty cute too! I definitely recommend him!

TAKE DEAN. He gives clear and detailed notes during class, homework is from the book and straight forward, and exams are from the homework. He is always willing to help. You will not find a better or easier professor at UMBC.

BEST TEACHER AT UMBC TAKE HIM HE WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE SO MUCH EASIER

I imagine the higher up the courses get the harder Dean gets, but for Precalc he's not bad (this coming from a student who had already taken precalc in HS). Lecture notes are online so you don't have to scribble in class, but his quizzes and tests are difficult. Good professor though overall.

Best professor

One of the best professors I've ever had!! With many math professors lecture is a complete waste of time, but that is not the case with Prof. Dean. He tells you what you need to know in the clearest way possible and gives plenty of examples in class that help with homework. Answers emails very quickly. UMBC made an excellent choice by hiring him.

I feel bad for my friends taking this course with other professors. Dean makes this class a breeze, least of my worries. He gives practice exams that are great preparation for this actual exams along with extra credit, drops two homeworks too. He's very serious but a very cool guy. You'll get used to his californian accent.

Dean is a good teacher and very helpful, but it can be hard to focus with his dry teaching style. I usually found myself learning the material in discussion.

Awesome awesome awesome teacher! TAKE HIM!! He puts his lecture notes online in case you miss something or miss class. He explains things very well and his tests are so reasonable its criminal! He is sort of monotone but very cool guy

Really good professor. Gives clear and structured examples during lectures. Responds to emails quickly and will provide many resources to help if you're struggling(which I was). Class shouldn't be too difficult if you do a moderate amount of studying and go to lectures.

TAKE HIM!! super easy!! class was like high school calc. attendance optional. quizzes and tests are easy. only takes best 8 quizzes and best 10 hws. His tests are easy too, they're like the quizes of my friends in other classes. glad i took him!!

Great teacher. He makes his own notes at home, then rewrites them on the board every class. His tests are not too hard if you put in the effort to study, and he gives a lot of partial credit. Even if you get every question wrong on a test, if you show all your work, you can still get a B. I took him for 151 and 152. By far my favorite teacher.

Dr. Dean is THE BEST math professor, and one of the best professors in general that I have ever had. I hated math before taking it with him, now I love math. Wonderful at explaining. Always willing to help in any way he can. Wish I could take him again. Also seems to be genuinely nice guy. Seems serious but is funny sometimes/hot too.

He is the best professor ever

He is my favorite math professor ever

Took him for both 151 and 152, best teacher I've ever head by far! His lectures are extremely well prepared. He writes his own notes at home, then copies them on to the board for everyone else to write down. Test questions are straightforward, but also hard enough to keep up with any other class. Highly recommend!

Dean is the man! He's so clear in his lectures and is right on top of things if the syllabus has to be altered due to snow days or something. Calc 2 is a tough class, but his exams are extremely fair and if you work hard, you'll be fine. Take Dean!

DEAN IS GREAT. He is an extremely nice and smart guy! He is always there to answer any questions or clear up any confusion you have about the material. Took him for Pre-calc, Calc I and now Calc II. Calc II is by far the hardest, but if you ACTUALLY DO WEBASSIGN & study by doing the practice another versions & the practice exam, you'll pass!

Brian dean is an amazing teacher, he explains things well and cares about his students success

I've only been able to suffer through calculus 1 and 2 because of this man. Amazing professor. Gives a bunch of examples during class and is very good at explaining the material. Very nice and approachable. Beware that you DO need to do the homework and practice problems or you WILL NOT pass. His exams are hard but he'll prepare you well for them.

very clear and precise! must take for 150. His tests are a cakewalk, very easy and not tricky at all. highly recommended.

Lectures aren't mandatory but go if you don't want to read the book. Dean does a great refresher if you're refreshing on Pre Calculus. His notes are clear cut and if you need help, he is there. It's not hard to get a good grade since he does drop some homework s, tests, and there is extra credit on tests so there is no curve.

Dean gives an easy A, and gives incredibly easy to understand lectures. I wouldn't take this course for fun though -- it's just a semester of memorizing methods of solving specific equations. Tests are nearly identical to the sample ones posted, and they all have extra credit available.

Dean was a good professor better than raji and he is approachable and helpful in giving advice.

His voice kinda puts you to sleep. His exams and quizzes are no where as hard as Tighe's. He does do a small curve at the end of the semester. Make sure you do the math gym extra credit. 2 quizzes are dropped and lowest exam grade is replaced if you do good on the final. He also posts the lecture notes on BlackBoard if you need it.

Professor Dean is amazing. His lectures are straight forward and easy to understand. Homework is always relevant to classwork and helps a lot with exams. Will answer any questions and provides lots of office hours or feedback. If the final is campus wide it may be a bit harder than his tests which surprises people, otherwise amazing professor.

His grading is very fair, weekly homework is longer than some professors assign, but completely reasonable and relevant.

He was a great professor, and very funny as well. His lectures go over everything you had to do in the reading prior to class. A lot of quizzes in this class so be ready, but you can drop a lot of your lowest scores. 2 Mid-terms and a final make up a decent portion of your grade. Just read, and pay attention, this class was very easy.

Dr. Dean is by far the best math teacher I have ever had.

Very dry lectures. Picks semi-hard to hard problems for quizzes and tests. Notes arent helpful. Doesnt give enough examples.

He's just really good at explaining everything during lectures.

His voice tends to put us to sleep, however he is a good teacher. He goes into detail and gives lots of examples of problems which is beneficial when you want to study for the exams.

Has homework due online once a week, discussions and lectures are not mandatory, would help with understanding though. Notes are posted online, the practice exams are almost the same format as the exams he gives, study those. Final is cumulative and not his test though, hard final

Very straightforward lectures. Explains everything very well. Good at what he does.

Professor Dean is the Calculus 2 teacher every student at UMBC should have. His class is not easy, but some effort and the willingness to seek assistance can make a relatively challenging class a reasonable one. Like Calc 1, there is 1 homework and 1 quiz per week. Review his notes before every homework and quiz and you'll be fine.

For someone who barely showed up to lecture + discussions, I still got an A in this class. The exams are exactly similar to the practice exams. I got a 100% on all of them. The final is extremely hard, so do your best on all the exams, so you don't have to stress about it.

Professor Dean had very good lectures and you will now what to do as long as you pay attention. He gets the material across very well and always answers question, answering them without taking up too much of the lecture time. Exams (3 exams and 1 final) are much easier than hw, so focus on being able to get through the hw.

Dean is my manz, great guy, beautiful voice, and very down to earth wholesome person in general. His exams are very similar to the practice exams, the final is gonna be hard, but his lectures are amazing therefore you went to most of them, you will do great! :)

Look my homeboy Dean, best guy on campus. The man might be a little hard to listen to because his voice kinda puts you to sleep but, if you pay attention you will pass class. The man puts his heart and soul into all of the lectures, he wants you to make sure you know that damn material. You wont regret taking his class and the exams are easy.

My manz bdean out here coming through with all the practice exams and quizzes. The exam questions are same as quizzes- just different numbers. Do the practice exams he post online- it's literally the same. He's a great professor that really wants you to learn and is truly enthusiastic about his class. Anyways love bdean.

Great professor and great class. Dean cares and if you put in the effort you will do well. He gives practice exams that are nearly identical to real ones. Homeworks are good preparation and practice.

Bdeanz is a quality guy, tests are similar to the practice exam and the TA's help a lot. He breaks down things well in the lectures but you don't really have to go

Although I found his voice to be quite funny, I liked how he structured his exams to be identical to the practice exams, except that he puts different numbers/ slightly changes the questions up. If you just study the practice exams and get a decent sense of what is going on, you should be fine.

The legend Dr. Dean really cares about this class. His lectures are very informative and well prepared which helps increase the number of topics we cover. As long as you are sturdy with the practice exams you'll be good on the actual exams.

Math 152 is the same style as Math 151- 1 quiz and 1 homework per week. Prof Dean is a solid professor and I would recommend to specifically people not that good at math. The tests are the same as the practice tests so that definitely helps boost your grade! From what I've heard, Prof Dean's class is also easier than Prof Tighe's class.

Dr. Dean is a really good professor and really nice. It is easy to do well in his class if you review his notes and his practice questions. All his practice questions are helpful, explains really clear in lecture.

The best teacher I've had at UMBC. He is willing to adjust things for the class if he feels like the students haven't been taught the material well. He gives amazing lectures and takes notes as he is speaking and posts them on blackboard. He posts practice exams before every exam that are very useful. Overall Professor Dean is an awesome professor.

Dr. Dean was always very prepared for his lectures which were also very consistent with the progression of the book. Grading was simple and clear and tests were graded out of 100 points, though you could earn up to 110. Homework can be taxing but helps a lot. Practice exams were VERY consistent with actual exams so test prep was a breeze. Easy A

Professor Dean is definitely one one of the best teachers I've had so far and is a super down to earth guy. He gives pretty easy homework once a week. His sample exams are almost identical to the real exams which makes studying a lot easier. Professor Dean and his TA's are really caring and truly want you to succeed. 100% recommend!!!!!

practice exams and lectures went hand in hand with exams and homework. If you show up and take notes the class is easy to follow.

Litterarly cant ask for a better teacher. One of the best teachers in UMBC without a doubt. Amazing at explaining the topics during lectures, exams the same as practice test, homeworks are easy, and a down to earth guy. That's an A+ For me

Lectures are gems. Don't show up late, he gets bothered by door opening and closing. He spends some extra time deriving pointless theorems but he teaches very well. Drinks a lot of water in class, big gulps now and then. A lot of HW but it prepares you for exams (3 for 80% of your grade). Grades out of 100, 110 total points. Best math prof though

study guides, sample quizzes, and sample exams are very similar to the actual assignments. Lots of extra credit assignments. Rational grader. He posts everything online but they don't really make sense unless you come to the classes.

A solid teacher if you're not strong in math. Though I would recommend taking si pass as the lectures are mainly for notes and are rarely enough to learn the material. Exams are reasonable and even easy as long as you have a general scope of the content.

Dean is one of the legends in the Math Department at UMBC, and rightfully so. If you go to lectures and read his lecture notes, you're more than likely to get a B. Calc 2 is hard stuff. Dean makes it somewhat learnable. I personally didn't go to lectures because I liked learning from HWK and his notes. Great teacher, will have him in later classes.

Attendance isn't mandatory but I wouldn't recommend skipping cause his lecture notes make more sense when youre actually attending the lecture. He is super enthusiastic and one of the best math profs on campus. I wish he could teach all my math classes.

Dean is great. His lectures are very thorough and he explains each step carefully. He actually cares about students performing well. Practice exams are just like the real exams except for the fact that he changes the numbers. I would just advise you to make sure you can do the problems quickly because sometimes the exams r a time crunch

Professor Dean is a great teacher. Math150 was scary going into it but he explains concepts well and writes the lecture notes in class (posted on bb afterwards), which I found helpful.

Super easy and straight forward. Class went very smoothly and was easily accessible outside of class.

brian dean is a goat professor. he had quizzes every week on thursday and homework was due every week on tuesday. i have accomodations for extra time and he also reached out to me and asked when i wanted to take the test. definitely going to try to take him for calc. never had any syncronous classes too which is nice

Prof Dean was great! I had a family situation that made me miss first exam but he was understanding to let me retake it. Clear grading criteria. Took him during covid, so exams were multiple choice (which is a plus and a minus cause no partial credit). Lectures easy to understand. Sends many reminders about due dates. Quiz is based of HW

Professor Dean is the best option for calc 2. Incredible teacher who takes an extremely difficult subject (series and sequences) and manages to make it simple and easy to understand. Attend lecture, do the homework/quizzes, and study the notes and you'll get an A. Great professor overall!

Online: He posts lecture content on the days that classes are typically run. He explains everything very well and he makes himself available outside of class if you need help with problems with the homework. All of his quizzes and exams are multiple choice and true/false, so basically one little mistake will lead you to the wrong answer. He's great

I loved his lectures. They were asynchronous and did a good job preparing you for the homework without being boring. Beware, though: the exams are multiple choice and true/false. No partial credit, just all-or-nothing. This also meant there were no practice exams (maybe wait until after COVID to take this class). Textbook was used for two sections.

Online class due to COVID-19. Great lectures, explains things well, and is very punctual when it comes to anything. He is always prepared and sends out emails whenever a deadline or something important is coming up. Very active professor and would def reccomend taking him as your Calculus 2 professor.

he didnt care about lectures and if you attended or not but the hw he posted was super easy and if you didn't understand something you could watch his lectures or view his notes. The quizzes were super easy. He drops 3 of ur lowest quiz and hw grades.

By far the best math professor I've had. Despite being online and lectures being recorded, he made the content make sense. Exams were multiple choice and T/F. Just stay on top of homework and quizzes and you'll be fine.

All of the lectures were recordings from many months ago, and though I cant blame him for it, I would have liked to see a live lecture or two. The TAs/TFs were meh. All of the TA help sessions I went to were only reviewing the most basic concepts so I found myself needing to do the HW twice over. The online tests were taken from hw pool.

The best Math professor I've had at UMBC! Definitely recommend taking his class!

This was probably the easiest class I've ever taken at Umbc, I got like 105% in this class, he's a great professor and as long as you pay attention to what he teaches in class you should do well!

Although I never met him in person because this was a fully online course, he was an awesome instructor. Math is not my strong subject and watching his lectures were extremely helpful. I never reached out to him outside of class, but he made it clear that he was available. He also had excellent communication and sent emails regularly. Go to SIPASS!

Dean is pretty good at teaching and easy to understand. Discussion sections are mandatory because that's when you take the weekly quiz. TAs are not the best. There are usually 2-3 homework assignments a week plus some questions due before each class. Overall, he's a great guy and pretty chill. I would definitely take him again.

It was lowk an easy class for a math class, f you do listen in class because he explains well IMO, the class should be pretty straightforward. It's a math class so it's going to be a little complicated but it's doable

He's a good professor and makes the material a little easier to learn. Drops lowest homework and quiz grades so you have a few chances to do well. TA's grade very slowly for there to be three of them but the discussion and group quizzes help solidify the idea of what you're learning.

Take Dean over Tighe if you're not a math major. Dean makes calculus only as hard as it needs to be. Is very clear on what he wants you to know by giving you practice exams which are very similar to real ones. Has accessible office hours. Extra 10 points built into every exam.

He is a very awesome professor. If you just attend well and review at least once, and solve exam practice problems, you will get a good grade. His lecture is very simple and straightforward.

he was very nice and understanding but i'm not a big fan of the people who teach the discussion. The class is easy if you know what your doing. If you did not do well on the placement test do not take his class until you take math 106 then his class will be easy. he really does help i definitely would take his class again.

He is a very good prof, worth taking his class as most things calc 2 isnt the most fun, but his class was about as good as things are for calc. Tests werent awful the only issue is the TAs where very bad for my section and graded insanely hard.

Good lecturer. Quizzes were quite challenging and were graded harshly by TA's, Exams on the other hand were much less tough thanks to good practice exams provided (none for quizzes).

Doctah Dean made the kitty purr!!! He rounded my grade up from 68% to 90% for a sloppy toppy. Loved his class overall! Highly recommend taking him.

Honestly, I hated math, and coming into this expected to get the bare minimum grade to pass. But Prof. Dean made the material easy to understand and laid everything out clearly, and concisely. Do the HW, study, and show up for your quizzes and you'll pass. TAs were very helpful and probably the only reason I passed with an A, but a win is a win.

Professor Dean was my Math106 professor. He is new to the course material, but still knew what he was talking about. He posts his notes online after the lecture, but he didn't put up any sort of review for exams or final. He responds emails somewhat fast. He lectures all class, I usually just went on the days that we had quizzes.

Professor Dean was my Math106 Professor. This was his first time teaching this course, and he seems to know what he was doing. Since it was first time, he had no study guide for his Mid-term. The only downside I did not like about him is, he tends to skips steps which make it harder to learn. Other than that, he is a great Professor!

Awesome professor and super organized! had all assignments, quizzes, and exams on a clear schedule. Amazing lecturer and made math so easy to understand. There is a lot of reviewing, quizzes and exams are short and sweet and he uploads notes after every lecture. Make sure to review them. Will take calc 2 with professor Dean for sure

got the bad grade cuz I didn't put in as much effort as i needed too. but like, he's not a bad professor, he's very accessible outside of class and will answer ur questions if you email him! between him and tighe, he is def the lesser of two poisons (for me at least). I just wish he'd give us practice quizzes for the weekly quiz we'd have.

Great professor especially if math isn't that great

Honestly the best calc 2 professor that umbc has. If you attend classes and actually pay attention, you'll get by pretty easily. His exams don't have trick questions, his quizzes are similar to the lecture questions, and the online homework is a good way to boost your grade. If you have to take calc 2, take it w dean.

Lectures were very helpful, he is good at explaining material. Very friendly and positive

He gives a LOT of examples in class, and goes into very good detail for all of the concepts. There is a lot of homework. He does have a monotone voice, but that doesn't really affect his teaching. Posts practice exams and solutions, and TA's go over all quiz questions two days prior to the quiz. There are quiz drops, and homework drops.

for someone learning Calc II for the 1st time, his class was easy. homework was too much tho - so much harder than the actual exams and quizzes. exams were easily and straightforward as long as you took the practice exams - they're practically either identical or very similar with different numbers. THE Doctah Dean is nothing to worry about!

Prof. Dean does gives a lot of homework but almost all the prac exams and class exams are identical to one another. His lecture are easy and understandable, you can tell how much he care for his lesson when he HAND writes his lecture on the presentation like a champ. HE IS THE GOAT in MATHEMATICS

The lectures are very comprehensive and very thoroughly explained for all concepts. He goes over core examples and harder examples that you may see on the homework. Of course, WebAssign is much harder, but that's separate from him. Go to lectures and watch him work through and explain everything. He also posts the awesome lecture notes consistently

Dean has great lectures and explains everything so that it's very easy to understand. Homework isn't that bad and the quizzes and exams are graded fairly easily with lots of partial credit. Practice exams are the best way to study, they align perfectly with the actual exam content!

How does a lecture feel boring and fast at the same time? Lots of homework, but practice exams are basically identical to the actual. If you can keep your eyes open through the lectures, or skip them since he posts the notes, you'll be kinda fine for quizzes and exams. Just do some practice outside of class. Kinda easy A.

Best Math professor ever, explains everything clearly, speaks a little fast so a good calc foundation is necessary as he skips simple steps during lecture. HW assignments each week, only top 10 grades kept, online assignments before each lecture, capped at 100, 3 exams and final. Lowest grade replaced with final grade, its

I had Prof. Dean for Math152, and he was great. I used the textbook to complete pre quizzes, other than that lectures always covered what I had read and examples were often pulled from the text. Exams were straightforward and very similar to practice exams. Attend class, complete your work, and do the practice exams, you'll pass.

Best prof ever for MATH 152, if you have to take MATH 152, take it with Dean over Tighe, explains everything straight in lecture, makes harder concepts easier to understand by breaking them down. 5/5 Exams are similar to practice exams -> study the practice exams and you'll be fine.

I took Dean last semester for Calc 2 and he does everything he can to make sure you pass. The practice exams are almost the exact same as the ones you take and while he may be super by the book (I stopped attending lecture after maybe a week), he's infinitely better than the other calc 2 professor (tighe). Do not take her, take Doctah Dean.

Absolutely phenomenal professor, in my opinion he is the pinnacle of what a professor should be. Respectable, helpful, makes it clear what he expects and fair. Outside of attending lectures, if you review the practice exams and go to the discussions to review that weeks quiz topic, you will breeze through the class. No tricks, thats all u gotta do.

Took this Spring 2024. He was a good lecturer, but sometimes he'll introduce a new concept quickly and rush through problems with it. While he was willing to help after class, he was sometimes a bit harsh to students who'd ask questions during lectures. However, I still believe he did a great job overall. Just attend lectures, and do the homework.

If you don't take Calc 2 with Prof Dean, you are doing yourself a disservice. His class is amazing, exams are very simple, and--if you study diligently--you can find yourself getting an A. He never throws trick questions or something not following the format of his practice exam, etc. I did much better in Calc 2 than Calc 1 because of Prof Dean.

Good professor, easy tests, but boring

Brian is the best professor out there for math. People coming into Calc may find that he goes fast in his lectures, but he posts his notes online and is super lenient on grading for the exams.

Amazing professor, really wants you to learn. Grades the exams really easily too.

Solid. The only word to describe him. Every quiz has a corresponding practice quiz that's clear and extremely efficient in preparing you for exams and quizzes. He made Calculus II feel like the easiest college course Ive ever taken. 10% extra credit available on exams, extremely lenient grading, he wants to see you do well in this course; it shows.

Legendary professor. He explains concepts so well. The class was a breeze. The exams were hilariously easy. They were basically the practice exams he gave but the numbers were switched up. The quizzes are also easy. Homework is assigned every week and they can range from 10-20 problems but it isn't too bad. Overall, incredibly easy class.

TA graded unfairly and when i talked to him about it he didnt seem to care that much but his exams made up for it. Actually go to lecture because even if you half pay attention it will help alot with the final which is kinda rough

Dean is an okay professor. He lectures constantly, but I managed to keep up. Pay attention and take notes. Weekly homework is good for practice. Discussions are crucial for tests/quizzes, but with a good TA, you'll be fine. You can't cheat; exams and the final will cook u, so lock in.

Don't listen to anybody who says the lectures are "boring". They don't know what they are talking about. It's a math class and it's gonna be boring, but Dean helps you understand. Gives good notes and is always able to help if you don't understand. Idk about others, but he gave me an extension for a quiz when I asked.

Notes are so good because he writes literally everything down, illustrates concepts clearly and USES HIS ERASER TO CORRECT NOTES because he's a perfectionist, so you can study on your own just with those notes. lots of extra credit built into exams, final grade replaces another exam if it's higher than that midterm, gives a lot of partial credit.

Professor Dean goes through things a little quickly, and it seems hard to get a question in, but you can tell he cares. He is very polite and responds to emails quickly. The class is very formulaic, so once you get into a pattern that works for you, you should be comfortable for the rest of the semester. There's a lot of quizzes (two per week).

He's great practice exams are similar to the real exam so you should be fine.

If you are going to take Math150 MAKE SURE YOU TAKE PROFESSOR DEAN. I've always thought I was bad a math so going into this class I was nervous, but professor dean actually teaches you rather than just solving problems from a slideshow (targeted lol!) Just read and show up and you will be ok!

Lecture can be a bit confusing but overall a good professor. I went to tutoring for extra help and that helped a lot with exam review to. The Practice exams are really similar to the actual exams so make sure you know the material!

2 weekly quizzes: 1 group (T.A.s give answers), 1 solo (same test). 20 min before solo, content reviewed. The lowest 3 groups & solo quizzes dropped. 4 easy exams; 3 have practice exams, actual exam changes numbers from practice. No time-wasting Qs in class. Ask vital Qs to proceed; others after class. Long Lectures. TAKE NOTES OR YOU WILL FAIL

Prof Dean is amazing. Very easy to understand and all of his tests are basically identical to the practice tests he gives you. He writes his own notes at the start of each lecture so it is very easy to stay with him while he talks. Overall he made precalc very easy and I will be taking him again for calc 2.

Math 150 might be the easiest class I've taken thus far. The quizzes, group quizzes, and exams are so straightforward. Dean is a good professor with understandable and well-paced lectures.

Teaches clearly and straight forward. No calculators at UMBC so it makes the math problems simple. Drops lowest quiz grades, replaces lowest exam grade with final and grades exams generously with extra points available. Just study the practice exams and quizzes, extremely similar to the ones they test on to get a high grade.

Dean's lectures are beneficial because he excels at explaining concepts in class and posts his notes online. Also, his practice exams help a ton for the midterms in the course. Overall, great professor.

Professor Dean is amazing. Hand-writes all his lecture notes & posts them immediately after. Provides practice midterm exams which are very similar to the actual exams. I went to his office hours almost weekly, and he cares about helping students understand calc 2 concepts. He does go over a few minutes in lecture often though.

I have some complaints about his TA's, but Professor Dean himself is very kind and shows a clear understanding of the material in his lectures. The homework consists of reading quizzes and homework that have clear due dates, as well as a quiz every week in our discussion. I'd highly suggest doing the practice exams!

Great professor, especially considering the content density of Calc 2. Makes lectures comprehensible and digestible. Reasonable exams. He is no-nonsense and gets straight to the point. Blackboard is very organized with several resources for studying. Calc 2 is a difficult course, but he definitely makes it bearable.

didn't go to lectures, only discussions. Use practice exams to study, they are the same problems, just different numbers. dont miss any homeworks and study for your quizzes.

Provided very clear and accessible information for everything you need to know about the course. Lectures were intuitive and informational. If you do all the homework and discussions, most of the questions on the test are repurposed from those assignments. Manageable workload, studying material is plentiful. Overall amazing prof
