The course is pretty difficult. You will have to pre-read the text, attend lecture, and review after. His additional question for weekly homework is pretty much impossible. However, the exams are fare and pretty easy if you practice the essental material. The exams are clear and the questions are straight forward.

He taught the material well. His writing can be difficult to interpret at times. A decent prof. However, he assigns super long and difficult assignments. You will need superior math and programming skills in order to complete these assignments. Content seems to go beyond any 2nd year math course. Take math modelling courses as late as you can!

His assignments are tough, especially since they were weighed so heavily on the grade. Exams were fairly easy with the final being scaled quite a bit. His teaching style can be dry but if something is not clear, just ask him and he'll explain really well.

Chauve has a bit of an accent and his writing takes a while to get used to but his lectures are fairly decent. Tests are difficult but he will tell you exactly what kind of questions there are and if he doesn't you can ask him to in his review classes and then practice those kinds of questions out of the textbook and you'll be fine.

Yes first year calculus may be hard (especially if you did not take Calculus 12). This is so for this course, as well as all calculus courses. Yes he has an accent. This is so for this professor, as well as many other professors you will encounter in your university career. He's not super engaging, but he's lighthearted and loves math.

i didnt take Calc 12 but did really well in this class. Its easy if you read every question on the assignment and make sure you understand it. He made the hard questions on the midterms and exam bonus which was great and totally bumps up your grade.

keep up with the notes and homework and you'll do fine!

I'm not great at math, especially calc, but his lectures cleared so many things up for me. Yes his accent takes getting used to, but once you do, his teaching is really clear. The homework and exams were really fair and not too difficult. I never went to office hours, but he didn't seem to like his students very much.

You will get used to his accent! He is ORGANIZED; i.e. you should read in advance, finish assignments before quizzes, and read summary notes every week. He is CONSISTENT; He will tell you what will be on the exam, and you should be on top of every subject that he tests. He is generous in grading. Also, It's an 'n' not an 'm' (you'll see).

Excellent lecturer. Fair marking scheme, but he will make you work for your grade.

Cedric gets a bad rap on here - maybe it's from previous years teaching, I don't know. He's not bad at all - MACM 201 is a rough course, and yeah, the guy has at least one typo or error per slide, but if you do the homework questions and properly review, you'll find the assessments are relatively simple. I know people that got a C- with 45%.

His lectures are very organized. Explain everything clearly. His accent is not a big problem, you will get used to it quickly. Best prof!

Professeur très passionné. Explique correctement.

This class teaches his area of expertise so he is knowledgeable. The material is a good blend of classical results and some useful modern results. Homework and exams felt hard at first but became easier with experience. He speaks with a heavy French accent and puts out more typos in written material than any SFU prof I know. Otherwise, solid prof.

Dr. Chauve was trying to cover as much material as possible and sometimes, it was hard to understand the def w/out instant examples. The stuff can be a bit challenging. Definitely go to his office hours. He would answer your questions and help with your hw. Be prepared for some French accent but it's still understandable. Generally, a nice prof!!

Dr. Chauve is a caring professor. The exams were very fine and easy in comparison to lecture notes. The only problem I had was about the coding questions in assignments. I was feeling like if those questions were not helpful because most of the codes were written by professor before, and only small parts required to complete. Thank you Dr.Chauve

CEDRIC IS GREAT! if you pay attention to the questions in class and watch all the prelectures youll be fine. Hes funny and reasonable, not sure why his score is so bad.. just make sure you pay attention and youll be good :)

A few years after taking this, I still remember him as a caring lecturer. When the midterms were graded, he had a long discussion with us about common errors and things that he could do better as an instructor. His lecture slides can get dense, but he listened class feedback (giving us a summary for major topics along with practice questions).

I quite enjoyed his lectures, they were very helpful and informative. However, there are hard weekly assignments, three difficult midterms which most of the class did not finish, and one slightly harder final. Keep on top of your assignments and study lots. But he is very accessible and helpful outside of class. He has great TAs as well.

There was a lot of assignments and homework per week which made it a bit tedious to keep up with. Other than that Cedric would try to provide some help to deal with test anxiety and even gave some extra points on some of the midterms due to some typos. Overall, he's not too bad but was a little bit confusing at times.

French accent and interesting cursive, beware. Overall a decent prof, confusing at times but you can tell he tried. Tough questions on exams were made bonus marks if very little were able to get it right. If you do the assignments properly, you'll be fine.

Not sure why he has such a low rating. He had 3midterms and 1final, which might sound like a lot but it was actually pre easy since we only had to focus on certain sections at a time. He does have a lot of homework each week, but I found it rlly helpful, esp since his lectures were unclear most of the time. Overall pre easy esp if u took calc in hs

I was expecting to struggle a lot in this class since I didn't take calc in highschool but it didn't have a big impact (although I definitely recommend taking it or at least have a friend who did to help you along the way). The french accent didn't affect his lectures whatsoever in my opinion and the TA's in the ACW were very helpful and patient.

Chauve is a funny and thorough professor. His accent is not hard to understand. If you watch your video lectures and take notes during lectures, you'll do very well in the class. Test questions are not hard; they are exactly like his notes and the written assignments. He grades tests tough, so be careful with small errors.
