Prof. Gregor is a reasonably good instructor. He makes it crystal clear *how* to do things. However, he doesn't seem interested in developing students' deeper understanding of the *why*.

He is humurous but displays the flexibility of a robot. Learning the material is irrelevant.

Gives constant homework. He says he understands that we have jobs, families, and lives outside of his class but then will turn around and say he still expects you to do homework every day. I had to skip one of my other classes just to finish homework he gave because I had to work the day before.

While brief at times, the lectures make so much sense compared to that of a comparable Calculus I class. You work through a workbook at a table group and you end up proving a lot of the equations calculus commonly uses without realizing it, and then G^2 explains why things work the way they do. Even though it's not required, be sure to show up.

The weekly quizzes would be easy but he grades with an Iron fist. It's ironic that he "wants success for his students," yet he could care less about his class morale or our QOL (his homework is awful). It's 2019, we should be learning how to use technology in math, yet he sticks with his age-old practices that are unfamiliar to the modern student.

There are 8 quizzes, a midterm, & a final. The weekly quizzes were far too weighted on pointless stuff (like units/sketching) rather than our actual understanding of calc 4. He's available for office hours, but not someone you want to be around too long. Be super careful about minor details with him, he's "critical" to say the least.

To be honest, Garrett is a good guy, but the way his course is set up is almost designed for students to fail. There are 2 exams in the course: the mid term and the final. Both are weighted very heavily. If you don't do well on the midterm, you will spend rest off quarter digging self out of that hole. All other coursework means almost nothing.

Although Gregor (or G squared, haha) was a great professor, the workload was just too much for such a high-level class. At that point, it's the content that matters and I felt like I was wasting so much time doing the homework, quiz preps, quiz reflections, etc because I didn't really benefit from them. Definitely an overwhelming amount of work.

I would not recommend him. The class is heavily based off performance on tests and quizzes which are all timed. I failed his timed midterm exam because I felt like I did not have time to finish his exam in the time allotted. Majority of my classmates still had their exams when he called time.

Hands out typed notes for every section, so as long as you show up to class you have great notes to study from for exams and quizzes. Quizzes are easy and make up a big chunk of your grade, homework isn't that important. Great at explaining stuff. Be sure to do well on quizzes though, they can be an unpleasant surprise late in the quarter.

1. Partial credit is a lie. Says he does, doesn't 2. Won't work with you for a better grade, you get what you get. 3. Marks you down for every little thing (favorite is notation btw) The third point is the most important honestly. A tiny mistake is usually like 1/2 a point off, to him it's 80% of the problems worth.

Great teacher, medium difficult class. Quizzes and tests are majority of your grade. Is picky on notation but don't expect any less for a calc class. He prepares notes for each section so you are able to pay attention to lecture. Incorporates good study habits as a part of his curriculum by doing quiz reflections and long term review assignments.

Garret is a fair professor. All of his quizzes and tests are timed. He expects students to not only learn but to "master" the material. Homework problems are written by the students on the board every class period. Personally he is a great guy just a hard teacher. I would only recommend taking his class if you are a math major.

I took Calc 4 and Differential EQ with him, and I can say that he is a very good teacher. He combines lecture and work on packets with your group for the in-class learning, and I can say he does it very well. But, he does tend to give a lot of homework plus mandatory quiz/exam preps and reflections, but these really helped me in the long run.

Guy is way to nitpicking and weights everything evenly. So no matter how much HW you do, if you fail the test you fail the class. There's really not a point in taking it and wasting money.

Great person and an eductaor BUT class is extremely test and quiz heavy. A couple of questions wrong can change your grade from an A to a B. Midterm and final are pretty much your entire grade, and you could spend hours mastering the topics you learn in class, and still fail easily. The homework is feasible but will take a lot of your time.

Professor Gregor was fine, but he's not in any way suited to teach a college class.

Garrett Gregor is an excellent choice for Diffy Q. He gives you the lecture notes before class and you annotate them during class and they can be used as study guides for the exams, three per quarter, lowest replaced with final grade. This guy has a way of teaching that just makes things clear, especially for a topic as difficult as Diffy Q.
