Disorganized, unclear lectures, he sometimes stutters and gets stuck on a word. Hard to understand. Gets angry with students and sometimes yells. His math examples are less than clear, seems to dislike teaching and students in general. I hated him.

Everything that everyone else said is true. Avoid taking a class with this guy if at all possible.

Worst teacher I've ever had. He is not helpful and is impossible to understand. When he was asked a question, he had no idea how to respond. Multiple times, he told us the wrong answer.

Worst math professor I have ever had. Instead of covering difficult material more in-depth, he wastes large amounts of time evaluating simple integrals. When people ask him to clarify challenging concepts, he starts yelling and pointing at the board as if everything is supposed to magically make sense. Like okay, thanks.

Not the worst, but not the best. Doesn't "curve", instead makes the first test easy, the second test very hard, and third test medium. If you do poorly on one of the exams it is very hard to recover your overall grade. Lots of word problems and applications on exams, which weren't discussed in as much detail as general topics in class.

Prof has a thick accent, difficult to understand. His lectures consist of him writing various proofs, definitions, theorems on the whiteboard - terrible handwriting. That's it. You learned everything in discussion or from homework. Quizzes weekly, 3 midterms. This course is Linear Algebra and Diff Eq together. 5 days a week, gets tough and old fast

I finished well above average for midterms, almost getting 100% on one of them. and only a little below average for one. Thought the final was pretty okay, nothing too bad but managed to get a failing grade. I am dissatisfied with how this class has been handled as we did not even have a moodle page set up.

Avoid if possible. He was condescending in lecture, sometimes scoffing at students like they were stupid for not knowing the new material. Not approachable or helpful in any way, often wrote down proofs and theorems without any further explanation. Tests are relatively easy, you are better off teaching yourself instead of going to lecture.

Professor Lyubeznik is a very good mathematician, but he is very condescending towards students and does not answer student questions. Rather, he usually makes fun of the question or tries to answer a different question that makes students look dumb. In terms of the course, the assigned homework does not really correlate with tests or quizzes.

This professor is super condescending when asking questions from previous courses. His teaching was not helpful at all. I would go back to my room and watch videos on Khan Academy on the material. But his tests are pretty easy as long as you do the homework.

Gennady is very condescending. Whenever someone would ask a question in class, he would make fun of the kids for asking the question and mock them instead of answering it. He did not take the time to make sure the students even understood his lecture. He knows his stuff, yet the students are too intimated by him to ask questions.

I do NOT recommend taking calc 1 with him if you have not previously taken the course. It is VERY difficult with no previous experience with calculus. Class is graded only from quizzes and exams.

They usually say the curve in MATH 1271 is quite good, but that is NOT the case in this class. Curve will not help you so get ready to ace your Midterms if you want to get over a B+. Overall, just skip his lectures and do your problems in the book, you'd be better off most of the time. Quiz questions usually resemble exam questions.

Very rude and not understanding. He would teach very fast and wouldn't slow down when asked. Was very hard to understand what he was saying. A good amount of students dropped out after the first mid-term. Would not recommend what so ever

This guy is a brutal professor. I don't think I've ever had a worse math teacher. The guy literally does not teach and gets mad if you don't know the answer. Would not expect anything more from the U considering how the math program here is brutal. Honestly head-scratching how this guy was hired in the first place

He is one of the most boring professors I have ever had. If you attend lecture you will get confused. You might as well just read the textbook or watch online videos. He once belittled a girl for asking a question and treated her like an idiot. He wears the same outfit every single day which is weird. Better hope your TA is good or you will fail.

Lectures are worthless. Difficult gruff accent, constant coughing. Goes unnecessarily deep into confusing, irrelevant proofs we never needed to even be aware of for for Calc 1. Very few examples problems during lecture. Will often turn around and ignore, or scoff at a question asked in lecture. Steer clear if you need any teaching at all.

Go to the first lecture, then don't go after that. His lectures are boring and uses confusing examples that don't help. A good TA can help, but you'll need to find other resources if your TA isn't good. Do good on the weekly quizzes, but know that the tests are not like the homework and quiz questions, unlike what it says in the syllabus.

Does not teach well. Explains things in a complex way that makes is very hard to understand. Whenever students ask questions, he responds almost as if insulting them for asking. Lecture time is much better spent trying to teach yourself

Avoid if possible, the hardest exam I have ever taken, and made fun of students for speaking up in class

Worst teacher I've had in my entire life. Goes through problems quickly, and will literally scoff at you and ignore you if you ask a question. Gets really annoyed when students don't perform really highly on the tests as well. Only reason I got through this class was because of Slader and the TA. I was doing 3 hours of HW a night.

Gennady Lyubeznik is easily the hardest professor I have ever had at college. He made fun of students for asking questions in letures and his exams are much more complicated than the homework. Avoid at all costs.

The worst professor Ive ever had. He has no respect for his students and makes fun of people when he has the chance. He tells us that if we do the homework we will do fine on the tests but he makes the exams much harder than the homework. He goes on really long tangents about unnecessary proofs. His class was a waste of time, effort, and money.

Class was determined by a curve at the end of the semester. You won't understand what's going on in lectures unless you read the textbook. Even then, his lectures are convoluted and do not make information from the textbook any easier to understand. I recommend taking class time to watch YT lectures like prof. Leonard, who helped me pass.

Very difficult professor. He is from a foreign country, so he is a little hard to understand; however, this doesn't detour him from teaching. The issue I really have is that he doesn't explain info helpfully, and makes fun of students who ask questions in lecture. Even with known calculus experience, the way that he teaches makes even me confused.

I took calc in high school, so I had solid knowledge of the subject before 1271. This class would have been impossible without previous experience. Gennady just isn't that great at explaining things and his lectures are full of irrelevant proofs. I will say, quiz and test questions are very fair based on the few examples he does do during lecture.

Easily the hardest professor I have had in all of the college courses I have ever taken. Makes fun of students in front of the entire class if you answer a question wrong or ask what he thinks is a dumb question. You do not know where you sit in the class until the curve is applied at the end of the semester

Rudest professor I have ever had in college. Made fun of students in class and everyone bombed the midterms. Never knew where you sat until curve was applied at the end of the semester, I would not recommend Gennady especially to freshman

He has a hard time talking.

literally avoid at all costs. exams cover things that were never mentioned in class or on assignments so you will feel stupid even if youve studied for hours. He also doesnt put any grades in and doesnt curve the class until after the final so youll think youre failing the whole time and possibly will.

Gennady Lyubeznik freaking SUCKS. His calc 1 class was supposed to be in person but had us go into the lecture hall,in person, just to watch him on zoom projected on a screen. He could not see or hear us and we could not see him. The only way I even had a chance of passing his class is because I took calc in high school. His teaching style is awful

There are weekly quizzes which aren't that bad but the midterms are where it gets rough. Without previous knowledge in calc it'll be an extremely difficult class. Avoid if you can!

He sucks

Hehehee funny puppy named snickerdoodle. In other news, he sucks. Seems like a cool dude, but please do your best to take another class. If you had calc in high school , you might be fine, but otherwise please just do yourself a favor and take a different calculus professor.

His lectures were the hardest things Ive ever had to listen to it was almost painful.

He'll make you feel dumb for asking questions, and doesn't actually seem to care about how much students learn. There wasn't a review for the final, the last day of classes he was still teaching new material, knowing that we wouldn't have time to review it (it was still on the final though).

He is a very hard professor to learn from and follow along with.. I learned more from YouTube videos than I did from him. He also makes the quizzes semi-easy and the midterms/final extremely difficult so you never know what to expect.

I have never had a math professor who has been more unclear and rude when answering questions. Youre in for a treat when your TA is a better professor than the actual professor. Explanations very unclear and it feels like youre just watching someone solve problems instead of learning the methods yourself. Avoid at all costs if you can.

Awful class. Learned more from Youtube than the lectures and students were made to feel dumb when they asked questions.

Lectures are pointless. He spends a majority of the time doing proofs instead of answering questions or doing examples. Discussion sections are worth going to and participating in if the TA is good.

Terrible professor. Make sure you have a good TA if you have him, or avoid at all costs. Doesn't explain subjects well, tests are purposefully made very hard, and treats students that ask questions very rudely. On top of all that, although the class is marked as in person, Gennady isn't. The class was stuck in a room looking at a zoom screen.

This professor is honestly one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Not only is he rude to the students that are attempting to learn, he verbatim copies from the textbook he's teaching from, therefore you might as well not even show up to lecture. We even had to ARGUE about the correct answer on a homework.

All Gennady does is write definitions, proofs, and theorems. He does not upload any notes to Canvas, so if you miss a lecture you had better hope you can read and digest the textbook. Additionally, about 30% of the examples he gives in class results in him calculating an incorrect answer. Please avoid this teacher at all costs. Also condescending.

Avoid if you can. Lectures consist of Gennady paraphrasing the textbook for ~80% of the time with few examples. During the examples, Gennady frequently makes mistakes and relies on the class to correct him. Gennady is passive aggressive, makes fun of students, and boring to listen to. Grades are posted very late. The only graded things are exams.

Lectures are very hard to follow. Good luck trying to understand the conceptual side of the material unless you're a genius. Doesn't post lecture notes online, rude to students who ask questions he doesn't think are worthwhile... not a good experience.

Gennady's course disappoints on multiple fronts: unprepared lectures with ambiguous concepts, an unreasonable grading system, and hints of punitive measures for student success. His apparent lack of mastery over the material raises concerns about the overall quality of education under his instruction. Immediate action is warranted to address these.

Awful

Lectures are proof-heavy with few example problems and he's rude/condescending to anyone with questions. We had quizzes every Tuesday including midterm weeks (which were on Thursdays), so TA's can't properly review material. His "reviews" are useless, just him solving hw problems that students have questions on (if he even solves them correctly).

Professor Lyubeznik will read directly from the textbook during lectures, talks down to and belittles his students when they ask questions. He is inaccessible outside of class, as he has never answered a single email. the TAs are incredible, and attending discussions and reading the textbook are the best ways to be successful in this class.

I feel like people are far too harsh on professors and typically just give low ratings to ones who are strict. That being said, this is the worst teacher I have ever had. Pointless lectures where he just read out of the book, made mistakes (He couldn't take a 3x3 determinant), gave wrong formulas, and was very condescending to students. Stay away.

Pretty rude professor, not an amazing teacher. TA's also extremely inconsistent at grading, questions I answered correctly got less points than questions answered incorrectly by a friend in the same class, and this was verified.

AVOID THIS MAN FOR YOUR LIFE. He's rude, doesn't explain things well, and not helpful in the slightest when you ask questions. He refused to curve my grade despite the syllabus stating the course was curved, the university sided with me and opened a claim to have my grade change and he refused. He will deplete your will to live.
