A new professor. His best qualities are his patience and understanding. Rare qualities out of a math teacher and you can tell he is passionate about what he was doing. Creates an open environment in a math classroom that I have never seen before. Very sweet guy. Take him!

He really cares about his students and tries to make the class as engaging as possible.

Professor Wawerczyk is very caring and passionate about math and does his best to engage the class. He is a very fair grader who gives lots of partial credit and he is very accessible as his office hours are very long and multiple times per week. Do your homework/practice tests and go to his office hours and you will succeed.

I didn't learn much attending his classes but practicing the reviews and doing the homework are enough to prepare you for his exams. Wawerczyk is very helpful and accessible during his office hours. He gives extra credit points and super easy quizzes to boost your grade. Put in the effort and you'll get an A.

Very clear and knows what he is talking about. Likes participation and wants to help you if you are confused. All of the grades are really just the exams and homework.

Grade is based on exams but you know that from the beginning of the course. It helped taking AP calc beforehand in high school, but if you go to his office hours he is a lot of help before exams. He really cares about his students.

This guy gets a bad rep for not caring about students and I couldnt disagree more. He gives a lot of review before tests and the homeworks really help go w stuff he teaches in class. Attendance is non-mandatory, but it helps if you actually go to understand whats going but you can kinda teach yourself most of the concepts (it just takes more tim

Dr. Wawerczyk is super nice and genuinely cares about his students. He's a true nerd for math and wants everyone to do well in it, and he's totally accessible outside of class and more than willing to answer any questions. Super chill and understanding about extensions and his class is pretty easy. Definitely taking him for MTH 141 next semester :)

Dr. Wawerczyk is an amazing professor. His experience in the field shines through in his teachings, and despite being math, he made ways to make his class fun and engaging, whether it be with jokes or class interaction. I would highly recommend taking him! I would again if I could.

I liked Professor Wawerczyk. Definitely a solid choice for a math professor. He really wanted everyone to do well. He understood that people in Math 101 weren't STEM people, & so explained concepts in a way that non-STEM students could understand. The homework was hard but helpful. Showing your work is really important. Overall great professor!!

WOW HE IS AMAZING!!!! Take him if youre the type of person that gets confused a lot he will not make you feel dumb. he will answer your emails within minutes. whenever you need help he is always there. He tries to make a quite complicated subject as easy as possible and is an amazing grader! He is one of the best profs Ive had

Love Professor Wawercyzk! One of the best math professors by far. He is very attentive to the needs of his students and is always available. He will make sure to answer any question you have until you fully understand. For exams, study the review and you should be just fine. There is weekly webassign but it's not too challenging. Really great guy.

The reviews below don't do this professor justice. He is a good professor and has a very straightforward approach. 4 exams + final, 4 quizzes and Cengage hw (about 4 assignments per week). The lecture may be a little boring but he teaches well and there are no surprises on the tests. Tests are graded fairly. Do the reviews and you'll pass the test.

These reviews don't do Wawerczyk justice. He is so nice and wants to help his students. If you show up and pay attention, do the homework, and the reviews you should be fine. His exams are not too difficult, do the reviews and you should be fine. I definitely recommend having him. I loved his class and he made me feel like calc was easy.

He's the most caring calc professor in uni. He makes sure everyone understands the material, you can email him anytime with any question and he'll explain it. Tests are mostly based on in-class material, so no surprises. Grading is very clear, gives some extra credit at the end.

TAKE PROF. W FOR MTH161!!

He's a good professor. He always letting students in class know that he wants them to pass and wants to help them. He's not great at answering questions, but usually students will stay after class to have their question answered 1 on 1. Super caring guy and he's always making jokes during the class lectures.

Good professor. He does care about his students and does want to make sure that you have an understanding of the lessons. If you haven't taken calc or trig before it can be kinda difficult and sometimes fast paced, but if you take notes, do exam reviews, and go to his weekly zoom office hrs, shouldn't be too hard. Taking him again for mth141.

The best professor you can take for Calc 2. Hes funny so class is entertaining and his lectures are great. His reviews and in class problems reflect the exam exactly, take him if you can.

Prof Wawerczyk clearly is passionate about math, sometimes he strays off topic and talks about concepts far beyond the course which can be confusing. If youve taken AP Calc his class will be much easier. He is very accessible outside of class; responds to emails, will schedule more individual office hours, etc. Cares about his students.

SUPER NICE and accessible to students outside of class, in class, though, he can seem intimidating. His lectures go VERY fast, so watch the recordings right after, and if you skip a day you miss A LOT so go to class! He answers homework questions (basically telling you how to solve a problem) in a matter of minutes through email, so REACH OUT!!

I really enjoyed this class. I have never once said that about a math class, but Dr. Wawerczyk was very patient in explaining concepts and answering questions. I feel like I have a way better calculus foundation now than before I took this class, and I took AP calculus in high school. Be present in class and listen and you will do well.

He’s a great Professor and is super caring. He’s really accessible outside of class and will respond to emails in minutes. While participation isn’t mandatory, attendance is taken everyday. He also records his lectures but I still recommend going as much as possible. Also he doesn’t tolerate phones in class fyi.

Best calculus prof! I took Dr. Wawerczyk by chance for MTH140 and basically built my schedule around getting him again for 141 because he was so good! Don't listen to the harsh ratings - he truly wants to see you succeed and is by far one of the most patient professors I have ever had. Answers emails within minutes and is super helpful all around!

INCREDIBLE professor! The best math teacher I've ever had. Grades SO fairly. Gives every opportunity to bring up your grade. Go to class, ask questions, do homework, and you'll do great. Truly cares about his students and makes class fun. Also very good at explaining concepts and posts all notes and lectures! 100% recommend for MTH 140+141.

BEST PROFESSOR!!! Math is hard, but Wawerczyk will always explain. He answers questions and help until he is sure students understand. Exams are VERY fair; he emphasizes exactly what will be on the test and chooses the most straightforward examples. Pay attention in class, take notes, and do the test review packets...you'll be fine.

I love him!! Idk why is rating is so low he's such a great teacher. Math was by far my favorite course thanks to him. Sometimes he can be a little mean, but his teaching style is amazing and he describes the content so well! I will be taking him again next semester.

Best math professor I've ever had. Not only does he explain the concepts, but he explains why the concepts matter and proves why they are true. He records all his lectures so you can rewatch later if you feel a need to. He also takes notes for you during class about the topic itself. I worked my schedule around taking him again for MTH 141.

Tough grader but fantastic professor. Heard he is the only great math professor and although his tests are hard, his students are the only kids at the end of the semester who are not lost at the end of the semester and do good on the final. Took him for all my math courses and he was great!

He's very good at explaining the concepts in depth. He's the only math teacher I've ever had that has made me understand why math works the way it does, not just how to do the problem itself. He seems harsh sometimes, but taking him for math is worth it.

Professor Wawerczyk is the best for calculus. He is very clear when explaining, always open to questions, and the problems we work through in class are very similar to the quizzes/tests. Always accessible outside of class and just a genuinely caring person! Just make sure to stay off your phone lol. Taking him again for 162.

Took MTH 140 and 141 with him. Amazing professor, very knowledgable, and tries to make the class fun with Desmos demonstrations. Would definitely recommend!

He explains the concepts very well and is always open to questions. However, he has very strong opinions about random topics and will share them. He has a very strict no electronics policy, but does try to give as many points as possible. Seeing graded tests and quizzes online was really helpful! If you do not have to take calc 2 then take him.

I've taken a lot of math at UM and Wawerczyk is definitely one of my favorite math professors I've had. I took MTH210 (linear algebra) with him and never felt lost. He made it feel not too difficult to understand the subject, which is inherently abstract and difficult to grasp. Assigned no more than 1 worksheet a week. Would definitely recommend.

I've taken a lot of math at UM, and Wawerczyk is definitely one of my favorite math professors I've had. He made linear algebra, an inherently abstract and difficult subject, feel somewhat intuitive and easier to grasp. He assigns homework every week, but it's never a ridiculous amount and he prepares you well for it. Would definitely recommend.

Professor Wawerczyk is awesome. He spends alot of time lecturing about fundamental ideas so that students really grasp the concepts. He always posts his lectures, replies to emails quicky, and is accessible outside of class. Most people are stupid and lazy. Read the book, attend lecture, do the homeworks, and go to office hours and youll be fine.

Great Lecturer and professor. Passionate about math and also passionate about having his students learn. Top 5 Quizes and Final replaces lowest test so relatively easy to pass if you do well enough on his tests.

Our class had an attendance problem and our prof would frequently reprimand us, even though I always went, so it was kind of annoying. Lectures can be boring with little/no class engagement. Other than those issues I thought he was great, clearly passionate about math, and ALWAYS ready to help outside of class/email

I didn't focus to the homeworks and studied only using the class notes and EXAM STUDY GUIDES and got an A on all 4 exams and an A in the class. Prof W will allude to his "favorite" problems in class and those are usually on the exams. Pay attention to how he formats his answers in class because he will take off points if you dont answer like that.

HE IS THE BEST. All the bad reviews about him probably don't care about the class. He's passionate about what he teaches and wants everyone to excel. He gives you EVERYTHING you need to know for quizzes and exams and makes it clear if you don't do it a specific way, you'll get points off. He records lectures and posts his notes. TAKE HIM!

All quizzes are about lecture questions. Pretty easy if you participate and do homework. He seems like a cold person but is actually a nice guy.

GOD. SEND. This man is the best math professor ive ever had, by far. 10+ office hours a week, always responds quickly to emails, and the classes are fun and informative. 5 absences and its an automatic fail, so dont be a doofus and show up. Can be a little passive-aggressive, but as far as gripes, thats it. Made calculus understandable

I love him. I took him for Calc 1 and 2. He is a very strict grader and will deduct points. However, he is a great lecturer and explains concepts very clearly. He is always willing to help and accessible. He provides study guides before exams and quizzes and you will never be surprised on a quiz. 5 absences results in a complete fail.

Wawerczyk, was the most efficient math teacher I have ever had. His personality was not super easy to get along with however his ability to explain mathematical concepts was exceptional. There was not one topic that I felt that he was not able to thoroughly explain to me. Tthere are some difficult concepts but Wawerczyk is the way to go 100%.

I've taken multiple math teachers at UM and he is by far the best at explaining all the material. He is very straight forward and doesn't surprise you with extremely difficult problems. He tells you exactly what you need to know for quizzes and exams. Very efficient at teaching, definitely put a lot of effort into the class and study. TAKE HIM!

Wawerczyk is a very intelligent professor who teaches extremely well. If you are having trouble understanding something conceptually, you may ask him any question for good help. He may come off as condescending or passive-aggressive at times, but he doesn't mean it.

Teaches incredibly well! He can be a bit strict, but for me, how well someone teaches matters most. He puts a lot of effort into lectures and makes students really understand the concepts easily. It is structured in a way that sets you up for success as long as you do what's asked. Genuinely the best math teacher I've had.

Professor Eric is very knowledgeable and teaches very well. Although he gives a lot of work he prepares you very well for exams! If you email him about more office hours he will do meet and help you with whatever you need. If you are willing to put in the work you will be able to get a high grade and actually learn.

Dr.Wawerczyk is an amazing math professor. He presents material in a clear manner while also providing some interesting historical background on mathematics; always available for help. When it comes to grading, he is very particular and takes of points for bad math grammar. Lectures are recorded, but don't miss 5 classes or you fail. W proffesor.

Great prof. I learned so much in his class. He can be perceived as kinda scary at first but he's a funny guy. Show up to class. Review practice exams and you'll do fine. Best prof in math department.
