One of my favorite teachers

good teacher projects count as much at tests so its easy to boost your grade

He's hard yes but it will be worth it in the end.

The work can appear difficult and unguided, but if you do it right, he is great.

He's awesome - his accent is SO cute, and he totally knows his stuff! Go Eisso!

Good teacher, very helpful if you take a secound to stop by his office hours.

Good Prof. if you're willing to put a little effort in yourself

How can you describe something as enigmatic as E. Atzema. He comes from a far away land known as the Netherlands where I hear hamburgers actually eat people. Is he dutch or a really a madman by the name of **** Ferguson?

Eisso really knows his stuff, and is motivated to see students suceed.

Good guy who knows his stuff. If you're looking for someone easy look elsewhere.

Awesome guy, he knows what he is talking about, and the acsent makes it so much more fun.

very good teacher

Very rarely does a professor actually care if a student succeeds in his class. Eisso, does everything in his power to help his students learn the material, and will go over the subject with his students anytime outside of class. He challenges his studen

I LOVE THIS CLASS. so genuinely concerned for you, AWESOME guy to stop talk to...cute stories. definitely worth taking...but not easy!

Does this prof know the beautifull village of Tjuchem in the Netherlands

eisso's presence is overwhelming. i get a warm sensation when he walks into the room. by far the nicest and "most helpful" ;-) teacher i've ever had. the youthful pep and enthusiasm that he brings to class make even calculus interesting.

He's a very helpful teacher. He does tend to go by his train of thought when lecturing, but he's still quite understandable and very considerate of his students.

Pay a little attention, and if you get really stuck, ask for help....he'll expect you to do the work, even if it isn't on time (he's very lenient about that), but he's very fair on his grading. Good man, and very knowledgeable in his subjects

Good guy. His handwriting might get confusing, or his explanations, but if you ask, he'll help with stuff. Never wanted to fall asleep in the class (but maybe that's just me).

What a guy. He's a riot, and a fairly natty guy.

Eisso attests to the friendliness of Dutch folk. People struggle in this class because they know he's too nice to grill them. He teaches math well. You just need to keep up with the chapters. He doesn't make it more difficult than it already is and always includes extra credit problems. Study hard and you'll get 100+ on the exams.

Eisso is the man. I've taken many mathematics courses at UMaine and Eisso is one of my favorite professors. If you ever need more hlep, just ask and he will gladly help you out. He's very approachable.

he knew what he was teaching, could not get subject matter accross to me. gives good partial credit

I had to retake this class and he is the reason i passes this class.

Funny, nice guy, helps to make calculus bearable. I can see where he could be tough if one had no handle on the subject, but if one can keep up with the work, and pay attention in his class, it isn't that bad. one of my fav profs.

I have had Eisso Atzema for 3 classes, including calc III and history of math, and he is my favorite professor at UMaine. He is very friendly and helpful, although his classes are not necessarily the easiest. If you are mathematically inclined and willing to work at a class, I highly recommend him.

Great professor, nice guy, very funny and willing to help. Goes over lots of examples in class, goes over nearly every homework problem on the assignment before you turn it in. Give lasts years exams as the practice test which are very similar to the current year test. tests are much easier than homework. will answer any question you ask

Eisso is a nice enough guy. If you need extra help, he will be more than willing to try and help you understand. Tests were mostly different than previous exams that he gives out, which made it hard to study for.

While he's not the best choice for those that aren't interested in math due to his speed, his lectures are intuitive and he does a good job of making it clear what is expected of the students. He shows an honest interest in the subject matter and in the students and will go beyond the subject matter with individuals should they ask for it.

Solid prof, wont get much better then him, some people don't like him but I don't see anything wrong with him, his exams are tricky, but put in the time and he will always help in office hours

I had Atzema's Calc 3 during COVID, and at the beginning of the semester, he struggled a little bit with everything being digital. I must admit that his class is hard, especially when it's virtual math, but he really puts the effort in to teach the class to the best of his ability. He always has good office hours and offers lots of partial credit.

Though he struggled a bit with the online stuff and the homework kind of went out the window, he was relatively clear about what needed to be done and the tests and quizzes were clear and concise. Although he would often make mistakes early on in an example problem and it was up to me and another student to correct him lol.

Atzema is a super nice dude and he really wants you to succeed. I started out the year really rocky (68 on the first exam) and was able to get it up to an A by the final. Lectures tend to be confusing and excessively wordy so be prepared to spend time outside of class if you really want to understand the material.

Generous grader! Sometimes he skips steps in examples on the board, but if asked he'll explain the process. Would definitely take another class with him in the future.

Attendance isn't required, but he remembers faces and will favor you if you show up to every class. Definitely get help on the "explorations." He will help you understand what he is looking for.
