Best teacher ever! Teaches in a clear manner and always make sure class understands before moving forwards
Makes a course like calculus, which might be boring for most, REALLY interesting and entertaining. Great examples. Very connected with his students.
We called him Eddie Christ... he was a good prof. Entertaining, steeped in pop culture, clear. No notes posted online, but no need.
Eddie is my hero, nuff said.
great prof that makes the lecture interesting. very helpful
Made of Awesomeness
He is awesome. He keeps you updated, lives in his office so hes always there to help you. Extremely reasonable guy, just plain awesome. Makes calc awesome.
The Jesus of calculus. Nuff said.
One of the best professors I've had. Very interested in the course, and has a lot of prior knowledge. Very helpful and always answers a question you might have, even if not immediately.
An overall excellent prof. Makes the class really interesting. Manages to tell hilarious stories in the middle of class and still get the course material done(and done in a very thorough way). Always in touch with the students and always there
Great Professor that really cares about his students and makes sure you learn the course material. Expect lots of free candy and food haha
Funny guy.
I record his lectures just to make sure I never miss an epic quote. Easily the best professor I have; my friends on the other side of the country are jealous of me ^_^
Eddie is quite possibly the most approachable prof I've ever had. Yes he's funny. Yes he's young and let's you call him Eddie, but more importantly, he knows the material and how to teach it. I had the pleasure of having a great calculus prof before and Eddir is right up there with him. Given the chance, I would take any class Eddie teaches. Any.
Great prof, get to know him and attend class. Very helpful for extra help.
This guy is absolutely AWESOME(with capital letters). He knows how to teach, and does his best to be clear. DO attend his lectures not only just to hear a funny quote, but also to get a free cookie :) He is more of a friend rather than a prof. Don't be surprised if your email gets stalked by his funny messages :))
I will NEVER forget those cookies and jokes! :)
By far the best prof on campus. His lectures are epic (because he's hilarious) and he knows his stuff. He's always in his office and is always willing to stop what he's doing to help a student out.
The best professor I've ever seen. Extremely helpful and reply the email soooo fast !
he's humor and attractive. i can always focus on the lecture. and u can always find him in his office
So good...I've never thought about missing a class.
Jesus!! TOO GOOD!!!
One class I will NEVER miss
Best prof on campus, no doubt. Always available in his office and would go out of his way to help you with your problems. Is a great guy to chat to, whether it be about Math or anything else. Keeps classes interesting and fun, and made a challenging course like Calculus interesting and exciting!
Awesome prof! I'm so lucky to have him.
Jesus of Calculus as someone previously put sums him up pretty well. Made getting up at 8:30 for his class worth it. Also had some great movie and tv show recommendations. Midterm was brutal but the final was reasonable and the assignments were all very very helpful.
Great prof! If you get him you are very lucky! Makes everything very easy to understand, assignments go along with exactly what was taught in class that week with a few challenge problems that bring even further understanding. He's hilarious and enjoyable to listen to as well :)
Winning
simply the best prof ever!
Greeeeat professor! He is so passionate in his class.Also, he teaches things so clearly and make you easy understand. Best prof!
Jesus of the Linear Algebra. Wants us to throw candies/lollipop/doughnut/etc at him during lectures or office hours. BEST. PROF. EVER!!!
AWESOME
Best Prof ever! Very Helpful! Can make not so interesting materials such as linear algebra quite engaging. Also available for help.
awesome prof. really helpful. switch to his section if you can
Eddie Dupont is an extremely honest, dedicated and passionate teacher. He has a way of understanding students, which makes it really easy to approach him. If you need help for anything, I recommend seeing him.
Best. Prof. Ever.
Awesome prof! Super clear and always willing to help. Also really funny! I hated cs before taking his class and now I love it :)
He's great! Smart, dedicated, and makes the lectures fun and engaging.
Eddie is the best professor I've had in my short university career. Very engaging, funny and helpful. I really want him to be my prof for other calculus and algebra classes I will take in the future. I recommend him to everyone
COOL GUY! I can immediately understand the concepts nicely after he explains! Midterm is fair. Final is little bit challenging, but I enjoy attending his lecture!
The best prof I've ever had. Makes every class worth coming to and explains things in the best possible way
He is so good!
He seems like a cool guy. But as someone who hasn't taken CS before, he doesn't explain things in an understandable way all the time. It doesnt help that the course notes are useless. Could be a good prof for more experienced coders.
Eddie is like the best prof I have ever met. The reason I love him so much is that not only he tries his best to help you, but also he always inspires and encourages you with positive words. I have received plenty of emails from him that gives me energy and confidence. He is perfect.
Probably my favorite prof so far. He is really good at explaining concepts, even tougher ones, offers extra help to anyone who needs it, and makes class really fun with his humor and voice tone. His lectures were the ones I would actually look forward to going to! Attend his lectures then review his notes and you'll do well in the course.
Funny prof, really enjoyed going to his class early in the morning - and this is coming from someone who hates math and early mornings.
Really Funny prof. Made me look forward to 9:30 Calculus class.
He made my 9:30am classes bearable, and made my summer. Best prof I've had at Waterloo so far, great explanations and very energetic and funny guy. :) His emails are hilarious too.
The best prof I've had in all my math and cs courses. He makes every lecture interesting and he talks in a way that will never bore you to sleep. He's pretty much always available to help with assignments and he made the course in general so much easier to understand.
Very clear explanations most of the time, occasionally some topics are explained to a lesser degree. Always available during office hours unless someone else is there. Very helpful, shows you the logic behind the code and expects you to try it on your own. If that fails then he walks you through the code. One of the best at waterloo.
Amazing person and lecturer
Lectures were engaging, easy to follow, and very useful. Dupont also was very entertaining before, during, and at the end of lecture. He has an intimate understanding of the course, and made you very prepared for the examinations.
One of THE best professors at UW, great at explaining and understands the content very well. Office hours are always available and sometimes you can just drop in and ask questions. Very patient and can explain concepts in the simplest way so anyone can understand. Very funny and engaging lectures, and you can never fall asleep in his class.
I hate math, but he made 9:30 am math class lovely.
He knows how to teach really well, which is a huge thing for a professor if you know what I mean.
Absolutely Hilarious. He really knows his stuff too! I always go just to see how he is going to make me crack up, but I end up learning CS along the way
He makes his lectures clear and engaging. He emails you the codes that he did in class with additional notes in them so you can go over them easily. He also attaches strange yet amusing gifs in his emails. His examples are memorable and different from the course notes. He has a nice beard too.
One of coolest profs you'll ever meet. His jokes are hilarious and he explains concepts very well while providing very helpful examples in class. You won't ever regret having him as a prof and I highly recommend this guy.
Really good prof, really funny! He also sends out the codes that he writes in class so that students can review them later
Entertaining professor who makes lectures enjoyable. Exams are fair.
One of the best profs I've ever had. He cares and is really understanding.
Amazing prof and an amazing guy to just chat to. Takes time out of his weekend to help when needed. AMAZING!
An amazing professor!
Amazing prof, fast emails
EDDIE DUPONT IS THE BEST. CS 116 is an extremely annoying course and he made the lectures fly by at 8:30 am. Seriously, I can't say enough good stuff about him. He's also really funny.
Eddie is one of the best profs I've ever had, and I'm an Arts student! He cares about his student's success and keeps classes entertaining and engaging. Something I really admire about him, is that he answers student questions without ever be condesending.
Eddie Dupont is a living legend. He is the greatest professor of all time. He will forever be cemented as the greatest prof to walk the campus of Waterloo.
Eddie is a living legend. Im going to miss him so much. Hes the best Calculus professor Ive ever had. Ive waited all my life for a professor like him. Hes also a genuinely awesome person. How can someone be so perfect? Good Lord, hes Jesus.
Amazing prof !
At a loss for words. The modern day Jesus
Good teaching style, uses analogies often to make students understand. Emails lecture notes which is great! Really likeable guy who helps his students out. Would definitely recommend.
BEST CS115 prof ever
It's really hard to describe the prof, since there are soooo many good things I have learned from him. Just in one word, the BEST prof I have ever met!
My favourite prof at UW. He uses amazing examples that keep you interested in the subject but also helps you learn extremely well. Class is a great time, and he helps you do well in the course. Great in-class clicker questions that get you thinking, and his notes are very helpful. 10/10
love this man
He's a funny guy and makes math about as fun as it can possibly be, but the course itself takes away from his awesomeness.
He is literally the best prof I've ever had. He'll never answer any question in a condescending manner and will stay behind in class if you need any type of clarification. People literally come from other sections and sit on the steps for his class.
The best math prof I've ever had.
This is really an interesting man and nice teacher. However, I personally get nodding during his lectures... :(((
He is my favourite professor at UW, I am a first-year student and honestly, I look forward to going to his classes. He is a real gem, cares about his student, and is clearly passionate about math. I have him next term also and I am looking forward to that course as well
One of the best calc profs ever - this man is a legend. He is funny but also knows what he is talking about when it comes to math. He made going to class worthwhile. If you ever get him - cherish the semester, because it will be over before you know it
This is the best prof in this university, he knows what he is doing, he is funny with the stuff he teaches and give very fair exams, you are in luck if you have him
Honestly probably one of the best profs our class has ever had. His lectures and notes are very clear and easy to follow, he never answers questions condescendingly (even tho we asked some stupid questions) and is always available outside of class for questions. He responds to emails super quick too, at some pretty weird hours lol
I am so lucky to have had Eddie in my first semester at uni. He helped me a lot to adjust and he was so caring. I could tell that if you make yourself known to him, he views you as one of his children. Eddie is a gem and idk if any other prof can top him. Thanks Eddie
A really great prof, who is able to simplify some really abstract concepts. I requested extra practice problems for quiz preparation and when neither of the books that he recommended were available he went to the library himself to find a good calc book and sent me the problems via email. It's nice to see that amount of effort put in by a prof
Eddie was one of my favourite profs in my entire undergrad. I absolutely hated CS 135, but he made CS 116 an absolute pleasure. Eddie is interesting and effortlessly funny, but still makes it clear how much he cares for students. He always did a great job of answering any questions I had and was simply the best.
I love him
best prof ever, cares about you as a student and person
Great teacher with lots of enthusiasm. I love all the unique suits he wears to class. Sometimes his lectures get too technical, so I stopped going to lectures after midterms. However, he has really good course notes that he wrote himself. They're condensed and very easy to follow along if the lecs get too confusing.
