Best math teacher I have ever had. Did his best to make sure you understood everything. Doesn't spoon feed you formulas, but makes you think. It's a bit of a challenge but is well worth it. He is very generous in his grading. A lot of quizzes, but it helps you prepare for the tests. Homework is not mandatory but is highly recommended.

By far the best math teacher I've ever had. You WILL understand calculus by the end of the semester if you take his class and do the homework. He responds to email right away and treats every student question as important, no matter how small or silly it may seem.

AWESOME teacher! Very knowledgeable about the subject. Explains things in terms everyone can understand. Uses examples from the book. Test questions from quizzes, notes, hw. Nothing you didn't see in class. The most helpful teacher I've ever had. Goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. Recommend strong background in algebra

Awesome teacher. Extremely knowledgeable about the subject and very helpful. Has study sessions outside of class to help out. Do the homework and ask questions and you'll do good in the class. Highly recommend him.

AMAZING professor. Had him for Calc I, and it was a great experience. He went over every detail of the material that was presented in class, and explained it however many times was needed. Clean instructions throughout the semester and extra credit opportunities. Work hard and you will receive an A.

Goes to great lengths to ensure you understand all material -- if you can't learn it with Prof. Berman, you're not going to learn it at all. He'll review algebra if that's what it takes. Provides endless opportunities for grade improvement and teaches very well. Be advised: tests are very difficult, and not just because he only teaches at 8PM.

For calculus II, this teacher has very high standards for his students. If you study hard, you can get an A. But it requires a big time investment. Make sure your fundamentals are solid before taking this course.

Let's be realistic, the "hard" ratings are because of the material. I've taken numerous teachers for calculus and had to drop because of the format they were teaching in. Berman is your last hope if you don't understand calc. He presents it in the way of numerical behavior, and his tests are more than fair. Know your fundamentals.. do the HW. = A

Nice prof. but VERY HARD. Tests are very difficult. Gives four tests that make up your grade. Will give a few quizzes as bonus pts but these are usually in class and are hard too. DO THE HW! Ask questions. Does help sessions. He clearly enjoys teaching math, take if you are good at math, if not, then prepare to work! Take with few classes.

This Professor is the bomb! He's thorough, clear, and helpful. He holds study sessions every Saturday, and he sometimes gives take home quizzes. However, since he is such a great teacher, his tests are tough because he expects you to be able to do it. This class takes time and effort, but with Mr. Berman, you'll ACTUALLY Learn your stuff!

Extremely good and intelligent professor; very passionate about teaching, teaches bc he enjoys it! If you need help he will go out of his way yo help you. This being said he expects you to know the material. His tests are the hardest I've ever taken, but are very rewarding! NO CALCULATORS ALLOWED, you NEED solid algebraic fundamentals. No easy A

He was very hard but if you paid attention and asked questions, you understood what was expected. He knows his stuff.

You might be intimidated by his intelligence but please do yourself a favor and do NOT drop out of his class. It is so hard to find a professor who genuinely cares about his students and has a big passion for teaching like Professor Berman! Ask questions (he will answer your questions until you understand thoroughly)

and go to his (optional) study sessions!!!!! cannot emphasize that enough. If you want an easy professor, go find somebody else. If you like to learn and appreciate professors who like teaching then you must have Professor Berman as your Calculus professor!!!!

He really is the best, most down to earth professor I have ever had. He understands stress, but pushes you to achieve more. If your thinking about taking it easy, he is your last choice - you WILL fail. However, if you have passion and drive, you will find him to be so helpful and he is very good about getting back to emails (even texts) timely!

Tests are extremely hard, but he gives extra credit here and there. He's an understanding guy- just put your work in and don't slack off. If you don't do any homework, don't expect to pass at all. Overall, he's a down to earth guy that knows his stuff. He treats every question seriously. If you want to actually learn your stuff, take him.

Jeff is by far the hardest prof. I've taken. Nonetheless, the best. Whiteboard lecture and textbook homework- lots of it. HW not for cred, but req'd. Take home XtraCred problems, exams make your grade, Final replaces lowest. If your not lazy and willing to put in the work, you will grow leaps and bounds! Wish Id had prof like Jeff from the start!

Jeff has been criticized by many on here that simply see him as a hard teacher. The class it self is know to be one of the hardest maths one can take. Jeff is the fastest grader in the world. He gives partial credit on tests, takes time off to do extra help sessions, and asks test questions from the homework. He gives pop quiz as bonus points.

Berman cares about his students and you can tell he loves subject during the lectures. Yes the class is a bit difficult, but you cannot expect to ace the class without doing work on your own. Most of the negative reviews are by students who expect to ace his class without working. If you are willing to do the work expected, the class is not hard.

Took Berman last semester (Spring 2019) for Calc 3, which in general is a hard subject; he was a solid choice. The homework problems prepared for the tests, and the in-class examples were helpful in understanding the concepts. He also regularly held review sessions. Attend the lecture, do the homework, read the book, and you'll be alright.

Jeff is a real pro at math, but his lectures tend to get bogged down in theory so unless you ask questions, which he makes time for, it's going to be really tough. Despite the very challenging homework and tests, there was a lot of help available and he really made himself accessible outside of class. Overall, be prepared to work for your grade.

He explains everything and gives alot of examples. If you do your homework, you will literally be fine. Many of the ones that fail the course do not ask any questions. He reviews homework before each class and the day before test are review days. He responds quick to emails and office hours are always open. Just ask questions and you will PASS

Jeff was a great professor that really knows his stuff. He spends the first part of class going through any questions people had on HW, then gets into the lecture. Exams were 3 questions and asynchronous, but are very difficult. But he is always available to ask questions and really doesn't want you to fail. He goes beyond the surface-level stuff.

He is a difficult professor, no doubt about it. He gives many examples and exams can be a challenge. Also, beware of the amount of homework. BUT his intentions are good and his class will benefit the hard working student all day everyday. Great professor who cares about you and how much you learn from him. He is solely in it to help students.

If you like formal math and care a lot about understanding difficult concepts, you'll love Jeff and Jeff will love you. Know that the content of this class is difficult and requires time, patience, and persistence. Be prepared to work hard and this class will work for you.

Jeff's class can be hard at times and his lectures, which have theory in them, can seem confusing at times, but by the time the test comes, you'll usually have a good understanding of material and pass. Jeff is very caring as a person and is extremely available outside of class. He wants to make sure you truly understand the concepts and do well.

Mr. Berman is an incredible professor. He emphasizes the development of understanding concepts well so that students wouldn't just need to memorize formulas. He gives a good amount of homework. His exams and quizzes are all based on homework problems, so doing the homework and asking questions in class makes it easy to do well in this class.

I took him in the fall and he is very adamant about teaching his students the concepts of the material. Jeff highly encourages students to do the homework as the pop quizzes and some of the test questions come from the book. He gets a bad rep due to his difficulty, but he's great at answering questions and truly wants whats best for his students.

Honestly an incredible teacher. The guy knows exactly what he's talking about and he genuinely wants to learn. That being said he expects a good bit out of you. You will have to put forth some effort. That being said he does want you to succeed. There is a lot of homework, do it all, and come to class with questions.

You get out what you put into his class. If you commit yourself to working all the homework, studying the textbook, and using office hours to ask questions, you will grow IMMENSELY as a student and as a mathematician. If you don't put in the hours to solidify your understanding of the concepts, it will show, and you'll feel it during the tests.

Mr. Berman was probably the best math teacher I have ever had. He is very passionate about math and will help you learn on a deeper level. He is pretty heavy on homework but if you do all of it and understand all of it you will do very well on the tests. Make sure you are solid on your algebra and trig if you take this class. It will be on the test

Mr. Berman was a good professor, and he definitely was very caring for Diff EQ, however, his class was somewhat difficult. His tests did not have very high class averages, but he would compensate by curving or giving extra credit. He taught the material well, and his homework helped a lot when studying for tests. He is very accessible as well.

Berman was one of the most difficult professors I've taken at KSU with insane amounts of homework that feels very unrewarding with the grading style however, he does take the time to go over problems that students have and was very understanding when going over various concepts. You'll learn calculus but it will take a lot of time and work.

Professor Berman was an all out amazing professor. He knew how to properly explain topics in an easy to learn way and could help with any questions asked in class no matter how long it took. He has a pop quiz every week about the topics discussed the prior week, but the quizzes are straight from the homework. Tests are similar too, but longer.

I do not think the reviews do him justice. Sure this class is hard but he is more than willing to go through any and all problems step by step until you understand. Homework is long but if you can get to a point where you can do it by yourself then you have a very good chance on doing well on the tests/weekly quizzes.

Mr. Berman is a fantastic mathematician. The man is very knowledgeable about any questions you have regarding math or any other subjects. That being said, I did find myself having to use additional resources outside of his lectures in order to keep up. Is this a fault of his, or is this a fault of calculus II as a class? My money is on the latter.

One of the best professors. Don't listen to the reviews, albeit, there is some truth like lots of homework and good pre-req knowledge. I like that, keeps me on my toes. His teaching style encourages deep understanding, useful in many fields. We had a small convo after the final exam, very personable. I hope UGA or Georgia Tech has more like him.

His classes are for people who want to learn math. Yes, he assigns a lot of homework, but the only way to learn something is to practice it. He will go out of his way to help students understand the material. The truth is, most students are just looking for an easy A. If you want to learn math, take him. If not, find someone else.

Worked example problems as a way to teach the fundamentals. Gave a lot of homework yes, but do you did it the tests were nothing unexpected. Hard class but if you listen to Professor Berman it was an easy A if you put in the work.

Berman was very straight forward. If you can do the homework you will do well in his class. you are able to set up meeting times outside of class and he even had open office hours to take advantage of

The class was not as bad as it was made out to be. He was very clear, do the homework (even though it was optional) and you will do just fine in the class. It is a lot of homework, but quizzes and tests are duplicates of it. He also gives a pretty decent curve on tests not quizzes though. Great guy! very dependent outside class. JUST DO HOMEWORK

Put in the work and you can do it. Berman is incredibly smart and although his class is a difficult challenge that's what college is about. I was blind to see until after I had left that his class, that his class was an incredible opportunity for personal growth, and I made some great friends through it.

Mr. Berman is a great teacher and a kind person. The lecture content and homework are very difficult, but the tests are fairly simple. If you don't understand something or want to go over missed questions, he is available on weekends.

Look if you are a good student you will do fine in Professor Berman's class. If you are not a good student you will get lost in his class. He gives students every opportunity to do well in the course and if you do not it is on you as a student.

Mr. Berman is a great and clear professor. The class started full but ended with about a third of the students as tests and workload worried some. He emphasizes proofs and gives heavy HW (30 problems/section), with quizzes from it. HW isn't mandatory but helps you pass. He's generous with partial credit. Great for math majors, not an easy A.
