He's a great guy! He genuinely cares. I took him as a blended class due to COVID. We had in-class lessons once a week. It was difficult but, but he was there to answer any questions. If you do your practice test and tilted assignments, you will do fine! I would definitely take him again!

Professor Rusodimos is one of the most gentle and calm people I have met. I really wish I could have gotten to know him more, but we only got to meet once a week in the blended model. He gives practice tests that are similar to the tests so this is very helpful!

PARTICIPATION IS THE KEY. He checks attendance every class. Be prepared to work a lot in this class. He is a very nice professor and knows what to do in every class. The course is graded by few things so make sure you have to get the most every time. It is only doable when you do the homework and practice test, making sure you fully understand it.

Great professor, do the HW, practice tests, and assignments and you will get an A. The tests can be a little tricky but if you even somewhat study, you can do well.

I have taken MATH2641 and 2652 with this professor. He is amazing. He is very detailed-oriented and makes sure that everything is covered. Some may find the class lecture heavy, but in fact it really helps you prepare for more advanced courses. One biggest thing is that his tests are similar to the practice tests so you'll be fine if you work hard.

Professor Rusodimos is simply an amazing, caring person. He wants you to learn and is very willing to meet outside of class or help you find additional resources. Studying practice tests a LOT is a must. Exams are tough but he is a generous grader. Calc is a difficult subject and you need to be prepared to do a lot of studying outside of class.

I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR! The class is a high-level math class, so I expected it to be hard. But the way he taught the methodology behind everything made me love the course. He interacts a lot with his students and really cares about how they do. There is a textbook that can be found online, but he barely ever uses it. TAKE HIM, HE'S THE BEST!

The best teacher ever. He is so lovely and very knowledgeable about everything. Attendance is mandatory because of notes; he writes on the board a textbook. I suggest getting one because, for each chapter, he gives you questions that are good to practice and will help you. And as always,s make sure to study.

His class is ok,I struggle with math his teaching was more difficult than other teachers. Dont let his rating fool you as it did me only take him if you're the A,B student type. I got an f because after 2bad test grades I stopped trying and couldn't understand the lessons anymore. It was my fault but there are easier teachers inmyopinion Good luck.

I will say that this professor teaches fast and in a style that feels like he's talking to someone who already knows the material. Recording his lectures! I did horrible on the tests but he kept motivating me to keep trying and finish the class. He also offers extra credit!

He was a sweet, wonderful teacher. It was my first time ever working on calc and I will admit that I'm not the best at math. Whenever he explained problems I felt as though they were as clear as day. The tests were pretty hard, though he curved the final grade and offers a lot of extra credit.

Shocked by the ratings again. Yes, he is a nice person but it does not change the fact that he does not even explain the queston. All he do is write the steps on the board wait for you to understand by yourself. The practice test is very similar to the test but believe me, its still too hard. I recommend finding another professor. good luck

Professor Rusodimos is easily the best math teacher I have ever had. One of the only professors that has let me submit assignments on a looser deadline and he also really cares about his students' learning and participation. He offers many ways to get extra credit. As long as you go to class and follow his lectures you will do great!

Currently taking the class, and its generally easy so far. He's also an awesome guy who just wants everyone to learn and pass his class. Has tons of extra credit opportunities as well. If you're an incoming freshman or just looking for a generally easy class as long as you put in a normal amount of effort, he's definitely the best.

My only warning is to try to learn the concepts out of class before going it, because his lectures are mostly examples. Overall awesome professor though

Prof. Rusodimos is actually a great guy. His accent makes the class harder, and you do have to study a lot outside the class. He's a really understanding and compassionate teacher. He's also so lenient with the deadlines. Even though I got a C (raw) in the class, with the help of all the extra credit, I passed the class with an A.
