I don't know how he has such a high rating. He makes his students feel dumb when he calls on you and you don't answer a question right. He puts the students on the spot. I always wanted to walk out cause of his attitude towards his students, its just awful. Don't recommend unless you're use to being put on the spot and actually study your butt off.

Professor Senensieb explains clearly how some geometric formulas we use and know for granted are proven. He changed the way I use to learn math from "just knowing how to do it" to "knowing how to do it and proving how".Participation does matter to help you know if you are learning anything. Yes, he will put u on the spot but 2 c if you are learning

Too many people sympathize for what's gone on in his personal life. He's not a good teacher, rushes through sections leaving students behind, forget about your other classes, if you get ahold of his old tests maybe you'll pass. This class is a joke with his Reviewers favoriting those compared test. Your not learning anything from that.

If you do your homework, you'll do Above Average on your quizes. If you do great in your quizes you'll do great on your exams. All I can say is do your homework and study. Homework is not mandatory, but I highly recommend doing it. Don't forget to "DRAW THE PICTURE!" One thing very important, take your final very serious! It will impact your grade!

Charming prof, he looks and talks like an adult version of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo lol. His tests are pretty hard, but there's nothing gimmicky about them- study what he taught you and you'll do well. That's it, no tricks . Hmwk is extra credit added to your quiz score. Math profs tend to be sub-par, but Mr. S is a great choice for any math class.

He thoroughly explained the material from the ground up. imo he mostly held a coherent concise & structured lecture throughout the entire semester. Although he had some quirks he was still pretty cool.

Can't stand his weak manners. Other than explaining well during lecture, he expects perfectionist on Exams. Don't ask to repeat explanation and he says students fail Exam only because they don't study. He gets ticked if you fail exam and makes fun when answering questions incorrectly.

Honestly he was the WORST professor I have ever taken in my life. The way he teaches calculus is very confusing. His strict rules and attitude makes you not want to participate in class at all. I feel like the whole class is failing but he still gets to work here. Please get new sandals.

His class was tough in Calc 3 but easy-going in Math275. At first, I hated his class coz of his attitude, until I went to his office hours. He is totally a nice and approachable person that you would love to talk with during his office hours. Love the way he teaches. Clear and make you understand MATH!

He was an okay professor. He gave straightforward lecture. The first 2 tests are easy, but the 3rd one and the final are hard. However, you still can handle it if you understand the concepts well. His quizzes every week are easy since it is from the homework, which is a good point to boost up your grade. Don't take it with many STEM classes.

Read review of how great of a professor he is but he does not know how to teach. Lectures, homework, and test all seemed to be different and he grades HARD. Most of the class is failing and understands nothing. Makes you feel stupid if you ask a question and then doesn't explain it. Recommend taking another professor.

Honestly really good professor, very clear with material. He makes it easier to understand then whats in the book, many extra credit opportunities, and HW is also extra credit. Study guides giving before test, but homework and examples in class are the same thing on the test, and as long as you get how to do those your test reflect it

This is the professor that would freaking prepare you for university! He is on a different level than any other professors when it comes to Math. What matters more in his class is if you are LEARNING!!! He does give you a lot of homework, but it does help prepare you for exams. It is all about speed when it comes to quiz and exams, so don't sleep!!

A humorous professor who pays great attention to students' punctuality but he is not punctual almost. The class is interesting, but he may not be able to answer your questions and chooses to ignore your questions. Assignments are optional, but you can get extra credit for completion

Hw is for extra credit. Weekly quizzes. May say mean things sometimes. Quizzes, midterms, and finals reflect homework assignments. Lectures are very well-detailed. Notes may be found in canvas. Syllabus accurately reflects dates. Requires lot of time to study and do hw.

Professor Senensieb is a tough but fair instructor. His lectures are very detailed, and the homework really helps prepare for exams. Use Unstuckstudy and stay on top of the weekly quizzes to do well in this class.
