Hes a really good teacher. do the test pool read the notes and you'll be fine. Warning: test pools consist of 100 questions at least so leave a few days open for study.

He can be really helpful and you can gain a personal relationship if you show interest and talk with him, but the class is hard and his tests leave no room for uncertainty. Also the test pools are ridiculous.

Very intelligent, cares if you care, mathematically oriented, stresses logical thinking. Can be hard to understand at times, but overall clear. Recommend: talk to him if you have questions, but come prepared, do a lot of sample questions (from the back of the book). If you show genuine interest and do a lot of questions, you'll have fun.

Demos is the best. The class is for students who will be taking the MCATs etc. and is geared toward that. Go to class, do the test pools, listen to what he says. The book is good to help you fill in the blanks. He loves what he teaches and that's contagious. All in all, very pleased.

Dr. Demos is a funny guy but he'll call you out on things for fun and if you're uncomfortable with that set up, the class might be a bit stressful. Other than that, he's passionate about his work as others have said and it does rub off on the students. He probably should encourage a more laid back environment so we can ask questions w/out feeling:/

I LOVE THIS GUY! He is hilarious, and he does a good job in lectures. In fact he is a great lecturer, but he wants comments so do not be quiet, especially as a class. He will get annoyed. Be very clear with your questions, and make sure you ask questions (or he'll think you're a tool). The exams aren't to bad, just do the poll a lot before.

Demos really isn't that difficult. Yes he can be kind of abrasive in the way he talks but honestly, he doesnt give a lot of work and his test are EXTREMELY straight forward. When i say straight forward, i mean give you an example and change the numbers. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR? Show up to class, ask a question here and there, and study.
