OH YEAH!!! Professor Dunworth is the greatest professor who ever lived who isn't not a Math 285 instructor. He is incredibly funny (beware of inside jokes) and amazing at keeping an excited, engaged atmosphere in a classroom. Furthermore, it very clearly shows that he genuinely cares about his students and their learning. Will definitely miss him.

Overall, Pf. Dunworth is one of the best professors I have seen so far in my college experience. Unlike a lot of professors, you can tell he is fully invested in helping people learn. He puts in generous office hours, offers challenging problems for students to do, and makes so many references youll wonder if youre taking a math class!

Jeff is by far my favorite professor at umich. He knows how to make classes engaging and is a great resource in office hours.

Jeff is a really good professor, and really helpful in office hours. Funny during lecture. Confusion comes mainly from course material and not Jeff himself.

Jeff is one of the best professors I've ever had. He is extremely engaging in class and is very good at explaining more complex topics. His homeworks are long and he makes his tests difficult, but the class is on a curve and you'll get a lot out of it. Would take a class with him again in the future if I have the chance.

Jeff was easily the best professor I've had at Umich. I kind of took him for granted when I took the course, but after the fact you begin to realize just how much he dedicates to his students. Jeff will go the extra mile to get you to not just understand the material, but to really master it.

Definitely one of my favorite professors. Make sure you go to lecture, it will help you so much. He explains topics extremely well using real world examples. He is very sarcastic, but you'll grow to love it.

Really funny and engaging. Office hours are extremely accessible and very helpful. Really enjoyed this class a lot!!

Jeff is a great professor. To those of your looking at the other reviews on this page, it is true that Jeff gives a lot of homework, but this is a math class. I'd say the homeworks take roughly the same amount of time as math 217. The really unfortunate thing is that this class is graded on a rather tough curve. Overall, I loved Jeff as a prof

I took this class last year, but I'm here now to procrastinate studying for finals. Others say that he assigns too much work or is tough, but I say that's what math is. You don't get better unless you're challenged. Lectures were helpful, and I genuinely had fun in the class. You'll get more out of it if you make the effort to go to office hours.

HE IS AMAZING. the course was online but he made efforts to answer all questions and he is very accessible outside the class time. He gives good lectures too!!

He's a teacher that genuinely wants to help his students understand the material. Personally, it was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken with tons of homework, but if I ever needed anything he made himself available and would help out however he could. On top of that he's really inviting and funny.

Professor Dunworth's lectures are extremely good. They actually feel like they are given by a human being, not a heartless robot. People say the written homeworks are hard, but diligently using his office hours and reading the textbook will get you through. He deserves as much recognition as Serin, in my opinion.

While I have similar issues with the class format then everyone who has reviewed so far for winter 2022 semester, the problems are not because of Jeff. At the start of semester we were told that the university is using our sections to test a new method of teaching, and clearly it isn't working. But it's not his fault, he's actually a great prof.

As someone mentioned, the class format isn't really his fault. If you go to OHs you'll see that he really does want you to understand the material and is very helpful when explaining concepts. He's incredibly willing to meet with you outside of OHs if you need extra help. He goes the extra mile, just reach out. Also possibly the funniest man alive.

I had Jeff Dunworth for math 215 in FA21. His teaching style which was more conceptual and less examples and you are expected to read the examples in the textbook outside of class, but the lectures were funny and engaging and I really enjoyed learning the nitty gritty of the conceptual stuff. Loved the class and the prof, very time consuming though

I really enjoyed the content of this class and Prof Dunworth's lectures, but it's a lot of work just to get the basic assignments done, which makes it challenging to study or stay on top of the rest of your life. Expect this class to be your main priority. I hope to take this again during a semester where I have fewer outside responsibilities.

I hated this person for his narcissistic, snarky comments during lectures. He made students feel like peons especially when he would assign us homework's that took an absurd amount of time to complete. But after dedicating so much time to this class, seeing him in my dreams berating me for failing midterms, I can't help but admire the man.

Guy is sadistic when it comes to homework. Office hours he is much nicer, and by nicer I mean less sarcastic, he isn't really an a$$, just comes out as one because he knows that we know that he knows more than us. Prof isn't the problem, Calc 3 in 4 months is hard to to do. Also, bro made exams to have a uniform bell curve, so if he curves we good

Definitely gives useful feedback in terms of math learning. Take his lecture when he's coordinator. Take time to stay with concepts and homework.

I wasn't gonna bother commening on Prof. Dunworth's until I googled his name and this nonsense showed up. Sure, theres homework that's tough, but its manageable if you're working with other people. Most of the kids complaining are stuckups that came from a school where a free A was handed to them. Michigan math is tough, but its Michigan, cry.

Jeff, you are a great guy.

A lot of these people don't like Jeff, but they expect a course that is as easy as their AP Calc BC class in hs. They want an easy A, and are a bunch of crybabies because they aren't getting that and Dunworth is course coordinator. Its Michigan math. Read the book, stop complaining, do the HW, and you'll be okay. Jeff's lectures were amazing btw.

So many people expect to get an A in Michigan Math. Guess what, this isn't high school anymore; you are competing against the best of the best. Instead of blaming it on the teacher, how about you study and solve the problems. Sick and tired of hearing people complain about Jeff; he is a great teacher.

The class is definitely not an easy one but Jeff makes it somewhat bearable. He gives lots of homework, however, given the difficulty of the class I fully understand the motivation for it. Jeff is really funny during lecture and occasionally goes on side tangents that help lighten the mood of the daunting class.

Dunworth is one of those profs that people either appreciate for their wide understanding or hate because the class itself is hard. His tests were hard but later I realized they were more similar to older test problems, not post-covid (except midterm 1..). Went to office hours once, he answered people's questions directly.

His sense of humor can come off as egotistical during lectures and he makes his exams terribly difficult. That being said, he is the best 215 professor at explanation and test prep. He is always accessible for questions and will meet with any student if they as. If you go to office hours and work with a group on the homework, you will be fine.

Jeff now runs 215 as lecture coordinator so he writes the exams and homeworks. Expect to spend many hours on the homeworks. Jeff is mean funny, so the classes can be entertaining sometimes. Overall, you can succeed if you show up to all the lectures and read the textbook before class.

Most of these 1 grades come from people disliking the class. As a teacher, Jeff is a great instructor who has very funny and entertaining lectures. While he makes the homeworks difficult and the tests insanely hard, the class is generously curved. Take 215 with Jeff if you can, you won't regret it

Dunworth is an AWESOME professor , and his class was definitely my favorite of the semester. Those who don't put in the work will say he's tough, but if you make an effort to pay attention during lectures, don't procrastinate on the homework, and go to office hours if you're ever confused on anything, you'll love it +find the exams straightforward.

On one hand he was the toughest professor, extremely difficult exams and the homework even more so. At the same time his lectures are hilarious and keeps you engaged in the material. May come off as condescending or rude, but if you attend office hours you'll see he really cares about you succeeding in the class and is very helpful.

love this professor. 10/10 would recommend. hail dunworth

Jeff has been one of the best professors I have had here. 215 is a hard class. The homeworks were long and the exams were challenging. Jeff is a very engaging and entertaining lecturer. He explained the material in an easy to understand way. In office hours he's a nice guy who genuinely cares about his students and wants to see you succeed.

Tough class but definitely doable. The written homework takes a fair amount of time and the tests are pretty hard but they are very generous with grading and theres a large curve.

This class is hard, but Dunworth is an amazing professor. Tips: go to HIS lecture, create a study group (he helped me make one bc I knew no one), start hw early, MEET WITH HIM 1 ON 1 IF UR STRUGGLING. He wants you to succeed and will do everything he can to help. His lectures are hilarious and practice prob. heavy. He is not actually mean.

Dunworth is a hilarious lecturer, constantly cracking jokes. There are no two ways of putting it... math 215 is hard! However, Dunworth does an excellent job making it way more enjoyable. Would highly recommend over Vig if had a choice

This was a really hard class, but Dunworth made the lectures very enjoyable and entertaining. The written homework was difficult and the exams sucked, but if you take the time to do (a lot) of practice problems, then you'll do fine. The curve is super generous and I was able to pass despite taking 18 credits this semester.

Can be a little bit out of line with comments sometimes. Don't think he realizes it but can make comments about students in the room (without mentioning names of course) in a funny way, but I'm guessing it's not great to be said student

I was about to get an A, but suddenly Dunworth crashlanded and taught me how to model brainrot with nonlinear PDEs. I failed my exam and got a D just like everyone. I confronted him in OH and he said: “It's not about the tenure.. it's about sending a message. Everything curves!” before vanishing into thin air. Noone is Dunworthy of his brilliance

The problems sets are tough but office hours are almost always open during the week, just start early. Exams are quite difficult but there's 2 dozen practice tests for each one, and your final grade is curved very well. (I got an 89 in the class which curved to an A+). Honestly overhated imo.

I had Jeff for my 215 lectures, and he was the course coordinator. Jeff made the content engaging, largely because of his outgoing personality and jokes, which I loved. That being said, he made the exams extremely challenging. The averages hovered around 50%. It helps to read the textbook sections and work on practice problems after lecture.

People hate on him because a lot of people fail the tests but I don't think that he deserves such a low rating. I don't think he is a 5, but I am putting a 5 to make up for the rest of the unfair bad reviews.
