He's so dreamy!

Available outside of class for help but come prepared. Tests follow the mock tests which took away the stress. Lectures were easy to follow but extra work was needed for the more challenging questions.

A great prof, his lectures are kinda meh, but he explains every problem and is question friendly

Great prof but needs better jokes in lectures. Examples are easy to follow and questions are always welcome. Final exam was easier than the tests.

Very good professor, teaching is very good and he would like to answer some questions after class very carefully. Math is not easy but if you are taking his course and put 70% concentrate on this class, you will get a good grade easily.

Doesn't spend time going over proofs, lots of examples . Easy course to get a good mark in if you pay attention. Was always available for questions.

Great prof!

As long as you put in the work, he is always around for extra help. Lots of one on one support. Understands what it is like to be a student.

Straight forward lectures that take you step by step, lets you use calculator on final exam

He is a good teacher, knows what he is talking about but talks too fast. You would have to have an extremely long attention span to keep up with him.

Tests where hard but was more than ready for the final exam. Killed it. 100% final!

Good prof - knows what he's doing, but he went over only a few examples of each topic. However, there are many different things to teach, and I only found the lectures boring because this course is a different "kind" of math. Tests and exams rely on memorizing the solutions to specific cases. Easy exam, and easy tests if homework is done.

His tests were pretty hard, especially when compared to the tests in the other 1007 sections, but his mock tests helped quite a bit. It's important to attend his lectures, as anything from the lectures was fair game for the tests/final. He's a decent lecturer, not anything special, but at least he won't put you to sleep.

Awesome prof. Always available during his office hours. Tests where difficult but the final exam was easy. If the work is done this class is no problem.

If I had to choose between being taught by Professor Bazdell or eating a cactus, I would probably do both because that's how I roll.

Gary is so nice, he teaches very well comparing with other Math professors. I don't believe that the course is difficult because Math is easy for me, but I feel that he offers nice lectures to those that don't understand numbers

He's a really fun guy who gives engaging lectures! Also really easy to find him outside of lecture time and he'll take his time to help you understand anything that's giving you difficulty. However, his tests are a little hard so you'll have to make sure you really understand the material to do really well on them.

He isn't the greatest prof, but he certainly is a solid choice. The course in itself is easy if you attend lectures and practice problems. He does example problems in class and posts mock tests which are helpful. Do beware, his tests are more difficult than other sections, but because of this finals feel like a breeze.

Good prof overall. Lecture notes are posted online however, solutions to problems in notes are only done in class on board so you will have to come to class. He makes class quite entertaining and keeps everyone wake. This class is memorization heavy (must memorize equations and use them) so I would advise making a formula sheet for each unit/test.

Good professor, teaches things well and makes things easy to understand. You have to attend class because he doesn't post his solutions to problems online. His tests are more difficult then other sections, always prepare for the worst case. That being said, the exam is easy and is very similar to previous exams which he will post on CU learn

Great professor for explaining stuff. Hes one of the only math profs to post slides which is really useful. He also gives tons of helpful practice tests. The tests are hard but help prepare you for the final which can be a 100% of your final mark. The final is almost identical to the practice exams as well

Explains thing more clearly than any of the other profs, and I have attended all sections lectures so I know. If you don't understand something he'll explain it differently rather than just repeating to help people who understand differently. Posts all lectures, many practice tests, and practice exams. You guaranteed will get better marks with him.

Great teaching. Makes everything very clear

Gary is a beauty. His passion for the material and desire for students' success motivate you to do well in the class. He is great at imparting the information in an easy-to-digest way. With Prof Bazdell your mark will follow the trend of engineering math classes at Carleton: put in effort and you will succeed.

He is a decent prof. Explains the theories pretty well, posts questions with their solutions, etc. He gives us the material we need to pass the course. He is a nice person and is very willing to help you. No need for the textbook, his class notes are incredibly helpful. Midterm was mediocre and final exam was easy. Attending class is crucial.

Very Nice prof. more than understanding. A lot of students had several assignments due one week. He pushed his assignment 1 week later to accommodate. His method of teaching is understandable and I can pay attention in his math class, unlike a few other math courses. 10/10 For Gary. It's been a blessing having him.

His lectures are very clear. The assignments good practice for tests. He's a solid prof. The course itself was interesting but sometimes a bit dry. I think it's hard to make undergrad courses very interesting/involved because of the class size and curriculum. There might be a way to improve there though.

Professor Bazdell has to be one of my favourites. His lectures are really clear and easy to follow, and he genuinely enjoys the subject which makes all the difference. His class adapted really well to online learning (due to COVID), and there are lots of opportunities for feedback with midterms/assignments that aren't overly difficult.

Most organized CULearn page I've seen. He should stop teaching math and start teaching other professors how to use CULearn.

So good

Online learning with Gary was chaotic to say the least. He's always late on uploading lectures and our section was the most behind. However, I don't believe it was entirely his fault as he had personal issues to deal with. Gary always replies to emails and is clear on what is being graded. His assignments and tests were fair.

simply the best, although our section was always behind he had personal issues. Very understanding and student-friendly professor, gave us an extra day to prepare for the midterm. Assignments and tests are fair. Such a gem, I love you gary may god bless you with a wonderful life and wealth. Very enthusiastic during his lectures as well. he's a g

He was quite disorganized throughout the entirety of the semester, but I think he just got unlucky with personal circumstances and the shift to online due to covid. Very good lectures; easy to follow and good writing. Assignments are easy and he gives a lot of time to do them. Definitely recommend.

Gary is very nice and can be very good at teaching!However near the end of the semester he kept forgetting to post assignments, lectures, and mock tests on time which is annoying. class also went really fast near the end and he didn't put in effort of teaching he did in the beginning. Overall he is very engaging I just wish he was more organized

His lectures are very thorough and his explanations are really clear. His tests were really fair and quite identical to the mock tests he gives us to practice. The review class in preparation for the final exam is definitely worth to attend. He gives in depth solutions to previous exams and gives good hints to what will be on the exam.

If you're in 4th year and you're still stuck taking a 1st year course, that says more about you than the prof.

He gives you the tools you need to succeed, you just need to use them. Always makes time to answer questions outside of class.

Honestly, he gets a lot of hate. I understand he's bad at replying to emails, but he is fairly energetic and means well. He is lazy but honestly he's pretty easy with marking and gives you mock mid-terms and finals, which are super similar. He's not a tough prof and you can find all old assignments that are just the same words verbatim.

Gary is honestly pretty good, and doesn't deserve the hate, it's a chill class. Doesn't respond to emails as the email in the course outline is wrong, but no one has ever been able to email to tell him. Tons of expression in lectures. He could be more organized, but he won't make it your problem really. As long as you pay attention you'll be fine.
