Great professor! With all the chaos going on with online classes and COVID-19, he was still able to maintain good teaching habits. Lectures are clear to understand and basically everything he highlights in lectures are going to be on the test. Very generous when it came to explaining what was on the test and was ALWAYS available for extra help.

Professor Talaoc is the best!!! You will learn more from him than you will from any other math professors! Your grade is only based on the tests (95%) and he also likes to put proofs on them. However, he is very nice and caring and will tell you what to expect. Take him!

He truly cares about your well-being and your ability to grasp the information. Everything that you get tested on is reviewed before the exam, and he gives you many examples beforehand. He does not make you feel stupid if you do not remember how to solve the algebra portion of the problem. Always asks students questions and engages with the class.

As someone who hasn't taken a calc class in 5 years, I think professor Talaoc's class was the amazing! He did a great job at explaining concepts and being very supportive to the class. He is very passionate about his class and students and he really shows it. You will no doubt pass the class as long as you attend, study, do hw and participate.

Professor Talaoc is a gem for anyone nervous about taking a math class. He is everything anyone could want in their math class: patient, accessible outside of class, clear in explaining the material and he goes over test questions beforehand. He even gives generous partial credit. He gives you the tools to pass, but you have to put in the effort.

One of the best prof ive ever taken next to Davis. caring, patient, understanding, amazing teacher and person. The BEST professor to take overall. Lots of HW but its daily thats why. 4 exams, 1 final, HW after every class, drops lowest exam score with 80% HW grade. take him if dedicated to the subject because he WILL help you

I recommend MATH 135. You learn about a bunch of topics of math in that class but just the basics of each topic, so it doesn't get too difficult. He is extremely patient, caring and is always willing to help. The exams are not super difficult and he grades hw off of participation. Never thought I would get A in math, I know its because of him.

Took Calc 1 with him last winter. Although it was a 5 week class, I never felt confused. He made hard concepts very doable and fun. One of the best teachers I've EVER had. Gives a million examples so you always know what to do on tests/HW. He gave us practice exams which were so similar to the actual tests. I can't recommend him enough, take him!!!
