He is very helpful and if a student has trouble understanding he goes over the problem and breaks down all the steps clearly. He even has a clever sense of humor, he makes class go by fast and honestly made math fun.

He's really nice, and knows what he's talking about. He does have favorites, and if you want to learn everything be on time, and sit in the front because i've realized that he picks on people in the back/middle. And best of all sometimes mysterious points get added onto the test even if you re-calculated it. so don't ask about it just take it

This teacher was really bad. I couldn't understand what he was teaching. It has nothing to do with his accent, just his teaching style. I just saw him put numbers on the board and talk on and on and on. Also, all he does is LECTURE!! When you do problems, he gives you, like, 30 seconds to do it and then he talks for LONGER about how to do it.

His teaching is great, but sometimes his lectures are right out of the book. If that happens, I start sleeping. His summer session is "fast like a bullet train", make sure you are only taking at most 2 classes.

Have to listen carefully, he speaks with an accent. Teaches by examples only. Tests are harder than the problems he does in class. Homework online on WebAssign with 5 attempts per problem. Send email out very late and expects students to have read it (Got one at 3 am). Only used textbook to self study for tests. Dropped from class after 3 no-shows.

He is a great professor. I would love to take him again if possible! He is always willing to help his students. He doesn't give a lot of homework, but you gotta make sure you are gonna be prepared for his tests and quizzes. His quizzes are more difficult than tests.

He always seems to get irritated when people ask questions and answers them like it was so obvious. Quizzes are tougher than tests, but they're both fairly hard. Webassign homework weekly. No extra credit provided. He has a heavy accent so it's fairly difficult to understand him. He goes through problems very quick and often off screen

i think he is one of the easiest math teacher i had; however i already knew Calc A concepts before so that might be why. also, i usually got A-'s in high school math, so i guess im above average. i got an A in his class. only thing is i didn't understand him through his accent, and he is grumpy. u need to self study, and the tests are fair imo.

Lectures every day, but his accent is hard to understand, and his handwriting is a bit messy, so lecture notes were often hard to follow. Self-studying was enough to do okay on tests/quizzes. Gives old tests or quizzes for practice, which is basically the material on the actual test/quiz. Gives partial credit and is a fairly easy, generous grader.
