Great professor! I have never been good at math and it's always been an area I have struggled in but Doug made it easy to follow along and really cares that all of his students are with the program. If you make a silly mistake on an exam and you go to him during office hours, more often than not, you will get points back. 13/10

I love Doug so much. He wants you to understand the material and he is always offering to have out of class study sessions before exams. In 155E, the tests are department tests so he has no idea what will be on them other than the sections they cover. He works really hard (successfully) to prepare you for the exams because they are so difficult.

He was the best Calc 150 professor in my opinion. The class size was about 40 and he made sure everyone understood before he moved on to the next objection. Do the HW and you will be just fine in 150. At the end of the semester he offers up to 20 extra credit points.

Took Doug's class in the summer and he would literally join zooms with just me to go over stuff, ALL THE TIME. If the entire math department was just copies of Doug I would switch to a math major. My future son will be named Doug.
