Prof Melamed is an incredible prof! He goes a bit fast but if u have a question abt a problem he'll be glad to go over it until u understand. The grades are based on attendance, 3/4 test (drops the lowest grade) & the final. Attendance is important & mandatory but if u come within the 1st 15 mins of class he'll mark u as if u were on time. A+ prof!

He goes way to fast, if you ask him questions he'll answer but will rush it. He's lazy in a way, doesn't write notes on the board; instead he reads off a note book and expects you to take note for note. You will be participating a lot

Ive taken professor Melamed for M1 & M2. He has a wonderful personality and is very clear with his lessons in class, he doesnt rush through and always asks if anyone needs to go over anything. He doesnt get annoyed when asked to do so. Do your homework he will randomly ask you for answers in class from the homework. Attendance is a must.

With M2 the computer test decides whether you pass or fail the course. This professor disregarded that criteria and created his own. He basically said if you do all the class work and score low on the final youll still pass the class which makes absolutely no sense. I will not take this professor again talks too fast and gets upset quickly.

Professor Melamed taught me for both M1 and M2, when I saw him again as my teacher for M2 I was ecstatic, he is not only a great professor but he is very invested in making sure you understand the course content. He is very easy going and will work to help you if you fail a quiz. He drops the lowest grade on exams as well. Great professor!

I had Professor Melamed for M1 and M5. I was always pretty bad at math, but this professor made everything feel much easier to me. He is very good at explaining things, and he has more patiences than most math professors i've had in the past. He drops the lowest test grade, and assigns homework but its not graded. I 100% recommend taking him.

If you love math you will love the professor and his way of teaching, it's just so simple with him. He will explain every step and if you do your homework you will pass with an A. It was great having him, has a sense of humor and goes out of his way to help you but you must be willing to help your own self.

It was a pleasure having this class. I needed it just for the credit, however, I enjoyed it a lot. Everything was on point! Extra credit every week, a reasonable amount of homework, and great lectures. If you are struggling with math I would 100% recommend Professor Melamed.

Professor Melamed is a great professor. I took Mat 9B0. Homework every week (pretty easy if you pay attention to the weekly material), 4 exams and final. Drops 2 lowest homeworks and 1 exam. He explains everything and makes math seems easy. I would take him again. Highly recommended.

This professor is rude, and talk to students any type of way. If you need help with work, just get tutoring because he makes you feel dumb if you ask him a simple question. On the first day of class we had a quiz, and he goes through classwork, and different sections like crazy. If you are not a fast learner do not take this class.
