This guy is relaxed, friendly and normal... not a typical math professor at all. Good at answering questions, glad to give you hints on the homework, tests were take-home and not too hard, informal lecture style. Only issue is confusing sloppiness on the blackboard. To demonstrate one result we proved, he actually used a power jigsaw.

This was my favourite math professor ever! The exams are not difficult if you study. Very good at clarifying sequences and series, they were actually my favourite part of the class. Awesome guy, understanding and definately is there to help students! I don't think there is a great curve, but if you work hard, it pays off. seriously, take his class!

Prof Bronski was seriously one of my favorite teachers I've had! The class was decently hard, but you learn a lot if you try. He was very approachable and willing to answer any questions anyone had. He was such a sweetie and I honestly wish he was teaching my calc class this semester.

Pretty good lecturer. Easy class and very helpful.

He is an amazing teacher! he is sooo helpful! He will give you extensions on hw, labs, etc...So great teacher! TAKE HIS CLASS! its so easy! :)

Professor Bronski was the best teacher I have had since coming to U of I. He remembers peoples names and I believe he truly cares about his students. The class is pretty laid back and his lectures are easily followable. He is easy to approach and more than happy to help any student at any time. He is understanding and an overall great teacher.

Professor Bronski started off slow, but as the semester went on, he just got better and better. He does a lot of examples which helps, and he's overall a nice guy. The class isn't too hard either.

He's not the greatest at explaining things or answering questions, but I took it last semester and me and my friend both got like a 96 or 97 in the class, the tests were easy if you tried. He's a nice guy (extensions and stuff) and helpful.

He was by far the easiest teach I have ever had. He is a really nice guy and always willing to help out. He actually seems to care about teaching and his students. His exams are the easiest things imaginable and I have gotten 100% on 2 of the 3 exams. If you have the option of taking this professor, make sure you do.

Go to class. Study for exams. Ignore all others who tell you Calc 2 is the hardest class on campus... your reality will be that it is the easiest!

EXTREMELY GOOD.

Prof Bronski grades easy, but the exams can be really hard or extremely easy, never in the middle. Tends to take quizzes once every 2 weeks, and we used to get a decent amt of HW which was essential to the understanding of the material. Diff eq concepts are hard though, and sometimes you just feel like you're copying from the board. Take him!

Sometimes goes a little fast, but you can't do much better when it comes to math professors. I would recommend him highly.

Keeps lectures interesting and discussion sections are very helpful.

He was a really good Calc 2 teacher. He taught the concepts well and was really good at understanding what someone was asking whenever there were questions. If you need to take Calc 2, I'd try to take it with Bronski.

Great professor! Really funny, witty, and smart. I thought Calc 2 was hard, but he made it way easier.

He is very funny. Sometimes it seems like he's talking to the board and not the class, but overall I would recommend him.

He is one of the few Math Professor in the UIUC that actually are good at teaching. He is really good at giving lecture and his explanation are very clear. I really like the way he wrote the blackboard and he is also humorous and intelligent.

Lectures are really good! He moves at a normal pace and is really good at answering questions in class. Really focuses on how the material is presented. Highly recommend taking a class with him!

Took fall '14 engineering section. The engineering section really isn't needed, take normal if possible. The final was unexpectedly hard compared to the midterms. He is a pretty dry instructor, but he is clear in his lectures. He usually makes small mistakes in the work of solving a problem in lecture. He's not good at responding to email.

Good guy

Really Cool Professor, Really helpful and Provides fabulous notes . I wish he was my professor for Calc III

Bronski is always there to help you. His lectures may not be the clearest so I would suggest going to office hours if you dont understand the concepts. He will always try his best to teach you.

Great lecturer. Class is tough but nothing I didn't expect going in. Definitely one of the better Calc professors on campus.

Prof Bronski is a nice guy. He always tries to inject humor into his lectures, which does keep you engaged with what's happening in the class. If you don't find his lectures very clear, visit him after class or during office hours with doubts. He may seem a little uninterested, but he does care about his students

It's a tough class, no doubt. The homework (assigned weekly) will take you at least 2-4 hours each week. Bronski was a very good lecturer and clearly explained any of the material. He was tough, but fair, and he tries to make it as engaging as possible. Overall a really good professor.

He's a good teacher but the class is just very difficult.

Hes absolutely hilarious, but more importantly, hes an amazing professor. He takes time to answer questions during lecture, through email, and on piazza. Made calculus bearable.

Great professor! Very smart and funny, which makes you look forward to going to lecture. The class was very easy overall, and I felt like it didn't go much in depth, but if you wanna understand concepts with a greater depth you have to do it on your own.

Bronski was hilarious but dont let the tests make you think this class is easy. Final is brutal but he does curve if his averages are too low. Great professor all in all!

Great professor!! I took both his lectures and other prof's when he was away. His were the best. He is super clear and funny. (still remembers his joke about that thing at standford) I love diff eqs!

Wonderful professor it's so lucky to have this professor in my first college year!!!

Great professor. He makes lectures interesting and usually starts class with a random calc related video that's hilarious. There's a lot of homework but its not hard at all and the midterms are pretty easy as well. The puzzlers are a great way to earn extra credit

Calc II is gonna be a bunch of work, but Bronski usually does a pretty good job of explaining concepts. Make sure you pay attention and don't get behind, it can go pretty quick.

There are not a lot of professors I have taken that make me want to go to class, but he is one of them. He is a very funny character, but this does not take away from the fact that he knows his stuff. He is a very, very good teacher. I would take him again in a heartbeat, and I recommend everyone to take him if you can.

This was my second course with him, and it was just as good as the first. He is very active in communicating with students via piazza, and he is very easily reached. He explains the material in a great way that is fairly easy to comprehend. I have friends that take other professors and I always make sure to rub it in that I am taking a great one!

My calc 2 professor was the TA to Bronski, and I absolutely loved her. I knew Bronski was going to be a real gem. I heard so many good things about him and he did not disappoint one bit. Amazing professor, HILARIOUS, and very accessible. He delivers the material in such a well, concise manner. I would take him again in a heartbeat.

I Love Bronski.

Best math teacher Ive ever had. Im a freshman in aerospace. MATH 231 was a hard class but he made difficult material easier and fun to learn. He had tons of opportunities for your questions to get answered through office hours and campus wire. I had his class during COVID and he was still very accessible online.

Professor Bronski is one of the best professors at UIUC. He knows his material in and out - and then some. Office hours with him are the best, he starts with random youtube videos and he gave all of his students free hot chocolate on the last day. He genuinely wants his students to succeed. I'd take another Math class just to be taught by him.

Professor Bronski is easily one of the best professors I have had. As a freshman in Aerospace Engineering, I knew that Calc 2 was one of the harder courses but Prof Bronski makes a true effort to make sure everyone knows the material for the midterms. There are tons of opportunities to attend his office hours to succeed in the course.

Great asynchronous lectures and the office hours 2x a week are very helpful. You don't need the textbook because he writes you note sheets for each week and they're fantastic. Haven't received a grade yet because I have my final soon but it'll probably be decent. Prof. Bronski is really good and I would recommend him.

Great teacher

Great teacher, 10/10 recommend. Always available outside of class and constantly emails for questions to go over for help.

MATH 231 is a hard class, no matter who you take. That being said, I've never had a more attentive, knowledgeable, and caring instructor. Professor Bronski's lectures are excellent, the practice tests are great, and he tries to make it fun, adding little jokes in to make sure we don't go crazy. Bronski a real one, one of the best math profs at UIUC

Fun and responsible professor. He has great lecture notes and decent videos. He holds accessible office hours multiple times every week. However, as many online classes tend to be, you need more motivation than in person, as the only synchronous component is the required discussion sessions.

The best professor that I have any seen. Organization at its finest, explains key concepts very easily, and gives feedback very fast.

Bronski is an amazing professor who truly wants you to learn the material. If you see him as an option for your math class, definitely choose him.

Amazing lecturing skills. Very reachable. He even wrote his own textbook for this class!

Math 285, Differential Equations, is a tough class. Math is by far my worst subject, and I went into this class worrying that I wouldn't pass, but Bronski made it bearable. Do well on the homework (go to CARE), practice using the practice exams, and the class is passable. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Bronski was great. He's very patient and actually listens to and cares about student concerns. He responds timely, his lectures are informative and he makes class fun. Exams are doable. Take good notes and you'll be just fine-everything he says in lecture is fair game unless specified otherwise.

Bronski is a great professor, make sure you understand your calc 1,2 as they become essential when doing diff eq. The exams are similar to the practice ones but as always make sure to review everything holistically. After you know what to expect on the first exam the rest of them become easy and the final was open note for us. highly recommend

Really amazing he teaches everything u need to know and how to do everything. You can tell that he cares about his students by the ways the tests are structured. They always have this little joke of some type at the end to which is great. Take him if possible .

Bronski always makes clear why he's doing what he's doing when he works through problems, which is much appreciated. Don't be afraid to ask "dumb" questions, he is very good at explaining things in simpler terms. Tests are pretty straightforward if you do the weekly homework assignments. He's got great sense of humor too. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed having Professor Bronski. He does a lot of practice problems during lecture which make topics easy to understand. 1-2 homework assignments a week which were very doable. All lectures were posted online as well. Exams were pretty easy and usually mirrored the practice tests. Highly recommend.

Great prof, great sense of humor, tests are reasonable and he wants students to succeed.

Professor Bronski gives excellent lectures that allow students to understand essential concepts well and also tells you what is expected on the exams, which makes studying and expectations more tolerable. He is very kind and understanding if something comes up during the semester.

His lectures, tests, and homework were pretty straightforward but had little room for error. Almost everything was on PraireLearn/Test, so it always took forever to type in large answers, and you could very easily make a mistake and lose 5 points. Practice the homework and practice tests, and you'll be solid.

Good professor, very accommodating. Lectures can be hilarious.

Bronski is amazing. His lectures are fun and engaging, he essentially wrote his own textbook that he gives us for free. He not only dressed up for Halloween but also brought us all candy. His office hours are amazing. The exams are pretty fair and the class is reasonably easy if you put the work in.

He made those knowledges of Mathematics very clear and lovely!

Bronski is a great professor. I'm in his 285 honors section and he's a genuinely nice and intelligent guy who cares about students. The class is also very interesting and quite useful for other theoretical STEM applications. Tests can be a bit hard but just do practice problems and you should be fine.

bronski was amazing at answering questions during lecture. he answered them clearly and concisely. he also frequently cracked jokes during lecture which made it more fun and definitely more engaging. overall a very fun class simply because he was the teacher.

Very good lecturer and made class fun.

Very straightforward class, made easier by Professor Bronski's clear lectures. Very funny prof, S tier.

He is a great professor! I had him for MATH 285 and his lectures are very helpful. Definitely recommend choosing him when taking the course.

Amazing prof, he goes in depth into theory for those interested, and he shows us the quick way of solving for the exam!

OMG look its Bronski (add me on stardew valley)

Not actually a UIUC student, but am friends with one of his daughters and he made an excellent vegan chocolate cake for her birthday. Impressive quality and texture given constraints (no egg, had to travel); demonstrating clear attention to detail when working flour into the batter.

Great professor. Lectures are engaging and easy to follow. There are plenty of office hours available, and the assessments are very reasonable. He explains concepts clearly and guides students patiently. Highly recommended.

One of the few people in UIUC Maths that can ACTUALLY TEACH. Super fun guy. The only weak point: sometimes, theorem/formulae in-class derivations were redundant. We could have gone over them on our own. Wish we had skipped them and done more topics. I think anyone should take a class with him though. Interesting HMWK problems.Super smart guy.

Great Professor.

I enjoyed the class

He's an awesome lecturer, easy to follow, and always cracks a joke in his canvas announcements or during his lectures. However, while attendance isn't required, the canvas is really poorly updated so if you miss a lecture it's quite punishing and you don't really get to catch up. So, make sure to have a friend in the class.
