great professor, jokes around in class! makes math a lot easier. (math10A)

Had him for 20A, 20B, and 20C. A solid professor. Throws around the occasional awkward joke for fun. Won't try to throw out trick problems at you. Takes class step by step. Encourages questions. Very approachable. Concerned with student learning. Very detailed explanations (which sometimes get confusing). Overall, he's "hyped" but not "over-hyped".

Had him for 20A and 20B. Good professor but definitely hyped. His quizzes are straight from the homework. Midterms are usually hard.. I thought his finals were much easier then his midterms. Anyway, after 20B I wanted to try out a new prof for 20C.. BIG BIG mistake. He may be hyped but he's definitely better then most of the math profs around.

He is really good and his office hours are extremely helpful. I recommend him.

VERY USEFUL. I would recommend him, he is possibly the best math teacher at UCSD. The midterm and quizzes were straight forward, do your homework and you would get an A

He is really good pro as long as you keep up with HW do HW and you will get an A that's all you need to do for this class

Not bad, but not the best of the best.Funny,laidback,and likes to answer questions.Do the homework,go to section,go to office hours and math lab and work hard and you'll be fine.Do all the practice tests.Stresses conceptual and doing few problems in lecture before doing homework problems.Textbook not that good though.TA's reliable.

very helpful, loved all the in class examples!

Fantastic professor who knows his stuff and is concerned about students learning. Keep up with your homework and you'll be great

Really nice prof. Gave really easy exams, because he tests your understanding of the subject and doesn't try to trick you. As long as you do your homework (which is due anyway), you can get an A in this class.

Extremely helpful, funny, humble, and, to top it all off, juggles splendidly. If you really want an enjoyable math course which piques your interest and open up your world to the profound concepts of Calculus, take Eggers. He is the best. He has a prestigious teaching award and definitely isn't over-hyped. Over all, Eggers makes UCSD worth while.

Really awesome guy the kind of lad you could have a cup of tea with. When it comes to Math the level of understanding is done 90% on your own.

His lecture's bearable. His lectures maily focucsed on example questions from textbook.

I've taken him for 3/4 of my math classes here, and I'm still amazed at how many new jokes he can come up with. But seriously, it will make your life much easier to take this class with him over other professors. He gives very reasonable tests - just do your homework!

His lectures were really insightful. Pretty entertaining at times and emphasizes understanding over just plain memorization. Honestly the final and midterms seemed pretty difficult and seem to be getting more tricky every year.

Eggers is a very helpful professor and great at explaning math. Very understandable and easy to keep attention and interest in the subject.

I loved his class! He is very easy to understand.

I had Prof. Eggers for Math 10B and I liked him so much I took him again for 10C. He is the BEST math professor at UCSD. He makes some mistakes because of UCSD's cheap chalk and hey after using it myself I don't blame him. The chalk sucks. Seriously though take these classes with him and anyone who complains about him probably never studies.

Cool guy. Probably a little over-rated, but still a very good math professor. He may delve a little too deeply into the proofs, and not show enough examples some times. On the positive side, his notes are always very clear. Not the best math teacher, but far from the worst.

He is a great professor. Straightforward, exams aren't too bad. His lectures are pretty entertaining with all the jokes yet he always manages to stay on task. Take this guy if you have the chance, you won't regret him!

Overall a good professor. Homework quite a bit harder than lecture, but the exams are not that bad. You do have to do some studying to get the concept to stick. Look at practice exams - on some of ours he just changed the numbers and forgot to change the date.

His examples aren't in the book, so lecture is helpful if you don't understand what's going on. Exams are "common exams" in which all students in the same course no matter what prof take the same one. Curve tends to be a bit less for Eggers since he's a good prof, and a lot of smart people take him. Easy A.

Prof. Eggers is a very clear and very helpful teacher. I would strongly recommend going to his office hours if you are confused about anything (something I wish I had taken better advantage of). KEEP UP ON THE HW and the Midterms are easy. Oh yea, he likes carmine red chalk.

He is a great math teacher! Very helpful and tries to make the lectures interesting. grading is fair. He is very funny, too, if you actually pay attention

great professor, he will help you to no end to make sure you understand the material. :)

The tests were pretty fair and straightforward. Some exam questions were from his lectures, which aren't just from the book. Best math teacher who cares about his students!

An interesting teacher with an interesting outfit. Nonetheless one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He doesn't just read off the book but actually teaches the subject for each section with great clarity. Reading the book and teaching yourself is actually a lot harder than just attending his lecture for 50 minutes. Highly recommended!

the prof is nice, but the class is annoying. It is time consuming because there is hw and matlab. I recommend going to class because the book does not help.

One of the best math profs i've ever had, he clearly cares very much about student comprehension , loves teaching

He's a really good professor. This class was taught very student centered. He didn't really lecture but went over the problems all together since the class wasn't too big. His tests are pretty doable but little mistakes could kill you. He talks really slow so heads up smart people, you might get a lil bored.

Explains concepts very well and is usually clear. Tests are somewhat difficult, but the curve helps out a lot. I recommend him.

He's an awesome teacher! Teaches you everything you need to know for the exams. I never had to read the book. With a little effort AND actually doing homework, it's an easy class! Nothing tricky on the exams.

I failed both of my midterms both were below 50% and missed lots of homework assignments. But i studied the day before final and went over his old exams and found out they are really simple. I took the final and thought it was a joke and only expected a C- in the class because of midterms/hw. The curve must was generous..i ended up with a B -_-.

I took calc ab beforehand and got a 3. this class was basically useless so i never attended class,but from the few times i went to class, i can tell he's a great teacher. his tests were pretty okay, his curve is huge too. I got an A. he gives hw but doesn't collect it so just memorize the answers for the quiz.

He's a really good professor. Quizzes are straight from the HW, which he doesnt collect. Midterm and finals are straightfoward. AND HE IS REALLY HELPFUL! Don't be shy to ask him a question! It's not that hard to earn an A, but I eff'd up by not studying/showing up to his lectures and ended up with a C+, which is generous from what my actions.

If you take CALC 20A with any other professor you are unlucky... bottom line.

Overall straightforward. I'm not so great with calc so I didn't enjoy his quizzes being out of only eight points...overall, he's probably the best prof for the course, but definitely study and I recommend office hours unless you're a calc whiz.

This class is an easy A or B. Eggers really makes an extra effort to make sure his students are critically thinking about the material. He talks slowly, so it's easy to take notes during lecture. His office hours are of great help, so attend them! He's also really funny and juggles for you. :)

I took this fall 2009. Interesting prof. Doing practice problems help. I wasn't interested in the theories but it does help later on in the 20 series. Study for the quizes! I had Andy as a TA and we was awesome. I recommend his class.

My favorite professor of all time :)

Definitely my favorite professor so far. He makes it easy to pay attention and class and makes sure that we understand the material. It's hard to not respect him, and you will work harder for a person you respect.

I detest the idea of taking math classes, but Prof. Eggers definitely takes the sting out of it. He's a self-described nerd and cracks jokes often. Quizzes are straight out of the homework problems. One of the top math professors in the school, hands down.

VERY thorough lecturer. He makes sure that he's clear and that he answers all the questions. Funny guy, cracks jokes to lighten up the mood. Do the suggested homework because his quizzes are "shamefully plagiarized" from the homework. VERY helpful in office hours, and he juggles at the end of the quarter!

great professor! makes lecture funny, teaches with clarity, and is extremely helpful. def recommend him!!

He was a great professor for Math 10A! He was superb! He is also very helpful during office hours, so definitely go! He makes his lectures sound interesting and he is a hilarious teacher, and juggles at the end of the quarter. Cheers!

Eggers is great! He's so awkward and I'm pretty sure I'm the only who loves his awkward jokes (the ones no one really laughs at) but it keeps the class at a good pace. Anyways, I struggled with math till I took this course so I highly recommend it! Very fair exam giver :)

Eggers gives very fair tests and does I good job with following a strict outline and homework schedule. However, if I hadn't taken calculus in high school, I probably would've struggled a lot more to understand what he was explaining in lecture. Overall, probably one of the best professors I've seen so far at UCSD

John Eggers is the BEST MATH PROFESSOR at UCSD!I wish he taught all of my other 20 series math classes. I really love the way how he teaches! His examples and explanations are crystal clear. And I remember my TA gave us similar final questions at the review session. He is very helpful and approachable during his office hours.Take him if you can :)

awesome! the best math teacher in UCSD! He is really nice when you go to his office hour and extremely patient to you. he is fair to everyone. i love the way he talks in the class. I love his big big smile which definitely encourages student in some ways!don't think too much before your exam, and to make sure if your really understand knowledge

great

Excellent math teacher. Truly knows his stuff and wants to help you as best he can. Makes lecture fun with his eccentricities. Quizzes and midterms come directly from the homework he assigns. Final was a little difficult.

Eggers is a really cool professor who just wants this 20A students to have a good holistic grasp of calculus. He knows a lot of us took AP Calc, but at the same time he wants to make sure our foundation is actually solid enough to survive college.Know your concepts inside & out. Google eggers 20a to know his grading style I'd definitely recommend!

He sometimes explains material in a more difficult way than it actually is. Just do homework and make sure you know the material extremely well. You're allowed a cheat sheet for exams, even the final.

I know everyone says he's a good lecturer, but remember that doesn't necessarily mean that one will do well. Grades rely heavily on midterms&finals, so don't relax one bit if you ace all the quizzes. The storm is yet to come. You need to pass the final in order to pass the class. I learned the hard way.

Mostly presented material in easy to understand ways, sometimes though he does present the material as being harder than it actually is. Midterms are easier than the HW but the final was harder. The difficulty of the class has more to do with how hard the material itself is, overall this teacher is recommended.

Dr. Eggers is a very kind man and tries very hard to motivate his class. His tests aren't difficult and actually tests for knowledge rather than challenge the test-taker, but it's difficult to receive a good grade due to the sheer amount of points the test is out of (midterms are out of 25 points!). He's very conceptual in his lectures. Study!

If you don't do well in math, you probably shouldn't take Prof Eggers. Super nice prof, but lectures can be confusing and he often omits important info, so read the textbook. Extremely helpful in OHs. Exams (25pts) are pretty easy but -1 for an arithmetic error is a sizable chunk of your grade. Holds review days before exams/final.

He is a pretty funny guy and patient when students ask him questions. He might look intimidating at first but has a good sense of humor. Exams were fair. If you were a genius, then you could pretty much get an A in class. Good TA made a different since they told you what to expect on each test. HW should help me but it was graded way too harsh.

Nice guy, writes clearly and organized, homework is great practice (especially for quizzes), midterms are fair. I'd recommend him. If I had the chance to take one of his classes again I would.

He was a really good teacher, his examples and class notes help with the homework and the quizzes are straight from the hw. Does his best to help students out with questions and is a fun teacher. Mt are a bit challenging but he does curve class at the end and hes the only math teacher that does that. Would recommend !

His exams don't test if you can compute, but if you understand the concept. They're fairly easy, looks just like the hw and you get cheat sheets where you can write those on there. Attendance is optional but his sense of humor will probably get you to show up!

Eggers is very patient when answering questions and does not get annoyed when people ask him basic questions. His exams are very fair and are pretty similar to the practice exams. Attending lecture is not mandatory but the example problems he does in class are useful and prepare you for the exams.

Eggers has a good sense of humor, which makes an otherwise boring class enjoyable to go to. His practice exams are at least 75% similar to the actual exam, so definitely know the problems on the practice exam. If you have questions he will answer them even if they are basic questions.

Eggers is a rock solid professor. Knows his stuff, very visual person when it comes to doing problems. Midterms were relatively straightforward, final even more so. Only complaint is that his class did get lethargic at times and kids were falling asleep.

Professor Eggers is a fabulous professor. He's my favorite professor in the math department. After taking Math 20E with him, I understand it incredibly well. He explains things well and his tests are fair. He's also very. very friendly! Every lecture he had a big smile. He actually cares about his students and their learning. Take him if you can!

Professor Eggers was a great professor. He always has a positive attitude and honestly cares about his students. I took him for summer session and loved going to class. Plus, he juggles on the last lecture, which makes him even cooler.

I love him! He talks loud and writes big, so his lectures are very clear. He does audio podcast, but I would say going to lectures is very helpful. He is humorous. "This is a tough crowd." lol. ANYWAYS, some of the concepts are hard to understand, but his test are pretty simple. He doesn't trick you at all! sometimes I feel like he's too nice.

Literally the best. I ditched the linear professor I had that quarter to be with Eggers because he is so much better of a professor. Loved him in both Linear Algebra and Calculus 3.

He explains things well and is quite helpful. The tests reflect the textbook and the practice midterms. He's not super entertaining, but can be funny every so often.

Eggers is a very personable human being. He cares a lot about his students to the point where he will answer even the most basic questions during class. For this reason, I stopped attending his class as it became hard to follow at times, especially when we got to series convergence and the like. On the whole however, I do recommend taking Eggers.

Wonderfully Fun professor who takes a great interest in his student's understanding. He wants you to know the material well enough to continue not just to pass. That being said he's tough but fair.

Professor Eggers is a great math teacher. Little jokes during class keep it interesting, and it is clear he loves math. His tests are fair and don't have things you have not seen before on the tests. I feel lucky to of been able to take him for two quarters (20C and 20E).

Good teacher. If you are not the engineering type and skipped the 20 series looking for something a little more forgiving but still educational (ie you are a pre-med) then this will suit you fine. Be warned: this class is the middle approach. If you suck at math, be careful, you might want look elsewhere. Overall though, awesome guy, knows his stuf

He's funny and knows what he's talking about. Eggers makes a subject like calculus worth learning, and I feel confident going into the next quarter.

Great lecturer, very clear, easy to follow if you are taking notes. (easy-to-read handwriting and loud voice) Always does little jokes during class to keep you listening. He will always answer any questions and he is very helpful. Homework is good practice for exams.

He is a really nice professor and very helpful during his office hour.

I had him for 20B also. He's really nice and friendly. He explains things pretty well. He has a knack for teaching. He has this thing about him, though, where he doesn't like to post up answers to homework problems because he wants the students to find the answers on their own. I had Chegg for that, so it didn't matter to me.

Great teacher, and A+ fashion sense. Pretty easy teacher.

john eggers booty is one of the reasons i went to class. the other reason i went were for his awesome lectures. i love eggers

I had him for 20B and he was about the same for 20B. He is very nice and willing to help. He is a bit boring, but he tries to lighten up the atmosphere of the class with some awkward jokes. All in all, I suggest taking him. He has very fair policies.

Standard 20F tests. Test tricks are all basic that you can find if you have access to test banks. Very "proofy" tests. Copy all of the proof homework questions+ proof test bank questions, understand how to do mechanical question and you automatically get an A or B. Lectures are proof heavy so interesting if you love math. A drag if you don't care

Tests are clear cut and straight to the point. If you do your homework and spend a couple hours studying for the test, you will do fine. Great professor!

READ FOR 20F HW: many kids received low marks for not putting the theorem # or for writing 1 extra line during a proof MT 1: ave 64% MT: ave 38% Final: NA Overall: instructed his TA's to grade mercilessly. Partial credit was rare to come by and many students felt disappointed that their grade did not reflect what they were learning.

Eggers is a very caring and humorous professor. Once in a while, it might not make sense when he does problems in class, but he is great at clearing up questions if you approach him after lecture. Homework is important for learning, but only 3 out of 5 assignments count. The midterms and final are fair and represent materials seen in class.

He helped me developed the abstract foundation to go to upper div math. He is inspirational, clear, and definitely approachable. Exams are ok. It's college, you have to work hard to get good grades. So I don't think people who said he's tough were actually working hard. Strongly recommend read the text before class and making flash cards from day 1

I LOVE THE PROFESSOR WITH WEIRD GREEN PANTS!

Eggers explains the concepts very, very well. His tests are really, really easy- as long as you go to class you should get at least a 85% on them. He makes tons of practice midterms/finals available, and the actual exams will be very similar. Take advantage of this.

Tests are very short, with few questions, but are very specific. Allows cheat sheets on tests.

Professor eggers. Oh boy, where to start. So he's clear on what he teaches, not difficult to understand. His class is based 10% on hw and rest are 2 midterms 1 final. So far, those midterms were by far the hardest thing I've ever done, class average no higher than 60%. Nothing on midterm was like anything you practice. Let's see how the final goes

I've had professor Eggers for both Math 20F & 20E. He teaches in a very clear manner with zero confusion. He does not simply teach students how to "get the answer,"rather, he takes time to drill into students' heads of how the math actually works. I attended the lectures, discussions, and several office hours and got A+s for both courses.

Great teacher who loves to teach.

Legitimately one of the best math professors I have ever had over 2 states and 4 colleges. Clear explanations and expectations. Tests are challenging but fair. If you go to class, pay attention and put the effort into understanding the homework you'll be fine unless you're brain dead.

My expectations were set high when i signed up for Eggers, but not all of my expectations were met. Eggers is a great lecturer and hilarious during class, but he doesn't explain some concepts very clearly, so the textbook was a big resource to fill in the gaps. Exams are fair, not too hard but not easy. But if Eggers is an option, take him!

Professor Eggers has really nice lectures and is really helpful at office hours. Go to class and do the homework and you should be fine!

Eggers is a great lecturer. Although I thought his class was challenging, he really does make the subject of calculus a little more bearable. He is very kind and always positive.

He's pretty good.

A funny guy. It's interesting to take his class but average of the 1st midterm was around 50% and he didn't curve.

one of the best professor ive ever had! Explain clearly and exams are fair. Definitely will take him again

His teaching style reminded me of my high school Calculus class. This class is usually difficult because of the fast pace and not enough time to go over examples, so it's either you get it or you'll have to get it through lots of work. Midterm combined multiple concepts so it was challenging and low score, but then going over the answer is, oh.

At first I was enrolled with a different professor, then I went to an Eggers lecture and it was so much better. TA's can make or break a class, and Eggers TA was good. I think the midterms were fine but the final was harder. I'd never taken calculus before and I didnt struggle that much, but I did go to a lot of math workshops and tutoring.

Eggers is a great professor since he was clear in his explanations and didn't rush through the material. He does give examples but doesn't go over everything in the book. Homework is the usual. The midterms were perfectly passable but the final left everyone shook. It was much harder and there was material I was unfamiliar with.

Professor Eggers is great at lecturing. He's ultimately trying to promote individual learning and gives us the necessary tools in lecture to do so. If you're having trouble, you have his office hours, TAs, as well as a forum he enrolls the class in to participate in answering problems together (which is extremely useful). I would enroll again.

He is awesome. The best mathematics professor I've ever had. Tests are really easy if you understand the concepts. Take him and get A.

No accent, Writes clearly, HW isn't bad Lectures go to the last second. Prioritizes general concepts over the application of material to HW. It's critical to read/do the suggested practice problems prior to the lecture. Exams are hard in the sense you'll know how to do the problem, but it'll take too long to solve through if you second-guess a lot

Egger's lectures were very basic and never fully touched on the material required for the homework (You'll have to read). Despite the difficulty of the homework, his exams can have a few curveballs, but were relatively fair and straightforward. His office hours were extremely helpful. To do well, focus on the homework and attend his office hours.

I liked Eggers. There was A LOT of homework and it wasnt really representative of the lecture material (you will have to use the book a lot) but the tests were very similar to the practice exams he gives out. If you can do the practice exams and do most of the HW then youll be fine. You can tell that Eggers really cares whether or not you learn

An absolute savior. Amazing lecturer and explains things in pretty good detail. For basic math like 20A and B definitely take him.

To be honest, weekly assignments were very helpful to me to deepen understanding in the chapter materials along with professor's lecture, and were not really a lot to me. His exams were pretty fair, as far as you can solve all the problems on practice exams without any stress, My grade demonstrates my sayings are true.

Eggers is an amazing professor. Took him for 20A and 20B and can confirm he is amazing at explaining and an awesome professor overall. Would definitely recommend taking him for lower division math classes. He is a tough grader, but totally recommend his class. Gave a nice curve.

WebAssign, textbook, written hw each week, but its manageable. Tests are straightforward&easier than the hw. Good at answering questions (irl & Piazza). Lectures aren't mandatory but they're funeractive, & he's good at checking in with the audience to make sure they're following along. Gives definitions, pictures&examples. Highly recommend him.

Ok guys, at first I hated going to this class because I didn't think he taught well, but after the first midterm the content either got much easier or he got more used to using Notability. ANYWAYS, he's really funny and his tests are pretty similar to the practice ones. BUT there's so much homework, both with WebAssign and graded written homework.

He is wonderful and the homework helps a lot!!! The tests are not hard and very similar to the practice exams. If you study hard on the homework and the lectures, you own an "A"!!! Love him and definitly take him again if I have another chance. Look his podcast right now!

Great personality and lecture. Exams are easy if you do all the assignments.

He is my first professor for math at ucsd. He is passionate about what he teaches, although his lectures are pretty theoretical. He is good with responding on Piazza along with the TAs. Exams were very similar to his practice tests and are fair. I would definitely take him again for a future course!!

lives in piazza answering questions, great and funny lectures, easy but helpful exams, and not so many homework. definitely will come back to his class if I have chance

He looks pretty happy all the time and he talks really slowly in his lectures. Lectures are podcasted. His tests are ok but not impossible and usually can be answered with stuff he taught. Allowed cheat sheet for the tests. Very active on piazza which is good and answers all questions.

Prof. Eggers is a good lecturer but since I haven't taken a lot of calculus the class was pretty difficult for me. The homework is not very similar to the quizzes or the exams but as long as you do the homework and understand the concepts, you should be fine. Overall, I'd recommend him.

Out of all my teachers I feel like Jeggers adapted to the online format the best. He does his lectures from an ipad and works through problems in real time. He likes students to point out mistakes when he makes them and is respectful about being corrected. My only gripe is he talks a bit slowly, I listened to all the recordings at 2x speed.

It is very clear how Prof Eggers is trying his best to deliver the lessons in an online format. He is also very active in Piazza if you have any questions or clarifications. He seems to be kind as well. As for the quizzes, it is not just calculations. You really have to understand the concepts as well. There are also numerous resources for help.

Professor Eggers is amazing! He explains concepts very well in his lectures, and he's more than willing to help you out during office hours/respond on Piazza for extra help. I enjoyed his testing format of 6 quizzes and 3 exams, dropping your 2 worst quizzes and worst exam from your grade. If you improve in the class, your grade will reflect that!

His lectures are straightforward and he explains things well. Quizzes and exams reflect the material well.

He is a very kind professor. Even I know a lot of the material, I still attend the lectures.

Prof Eggers is an amazing professor, but still, you must either read the book or learn online as he doesn't go too deep into how to solve the hw problems. Precalc was the highest math I took in high school, so I had a rough start, but I managed to get an A+ by attending lectures, doing both the required AND optional hw, and learning on Youtube.

Great guy, super nice and knowledgeable of math. Lenient quiz drop policy. Would take again

Prof. Eggers is a pretty nice guy. He gives 20% cushion for quizzes and allows you to drop one of the lowest. Lectures are a bit slow and confusing but if you do the hw you'll be fine. Exams and quizzes reflect course materials - pretty basic.

Eggers is a solid choice for this class because he doesnt make it extremely difficult. When I did the first homework assignment, I fully expected to fail this class by the end of the quarter. I made it out with a B+. His grading scale is pretty fair and midterms are pretty similar to practice exams. Homework is hard so go to discussion for help.

Pretty decent lectures, and his grading policies were extremely, extremely lenient. In 20B, he dropped 1 out of 2 exams, dropped 2 of 6 quizzes, so pretty chill in grading.

Eggers was a great professor. He shows that he really cares about his job and will take the time to re-explain topics when a student asks. He is also really passionate about the subject and it rubs off on the whole class. You'll need to do some extra work independently, but that's just bc calc 2 is difficult, not his fault. Overall, love Eggers :)

Everyone in this course seemed hellbent on getting an online final when they could have just filed for an incomplete and done the final later, which is why you will see many reviews attacking Eggers. Take Eggers and see for yourself. Good class and you'll get a good grade as long as you STUDY. A lot of crybabies this quarter.

Amazing lecturer and has a firm command of the material. Exams were harsh, but they generally followed the homework.

Great professor and lecturer. Attend lectures and ask questions; he's always open to questions during lectures. Study, and you'll do well. Exams can be challenging if you don't understand the concepts, but the grading is pretty lenient. I recommend this professor if you're willing to put in the work to attend every lecture; it's no easy A.

He was fine in my experience and did seem to care about your learning. Not very accommodating compared to other professors, but didn't do anything that was unfair. If an in-person final is planned since day 1 on the syllabus, it's completely fair game to not have an online option for the final (it's not that nice but it's not unfair or anything)

Homework is mainly about writing proofs and is really hard sometimes. But exams are generally not difficult. Just understand every example in the lecture notes and make sure to figure out the practice exam problems, and you can succeed in his course.

My guy is a beast of a teacher. We have dubbed him 'jeggernaut' as a representation of his robust and effective teaching methods. He cares about every question asked and treats all questions - even the dumb ones - very seriously.

Overall Eggers knows exactly what he is doing and is a master of math. It is essential to show up to lectures and ask questions when you have them. The homework is not overwhelming at all, quizzes are straightforward, and the tests were weird. Every test would have a single question that we were not taught. Pay attention and work hard. Fairly easy.

Would 100% recommend this professor, wears toe shoes and this guy is such a character. Didn't go to lecture that much, and didn't need to.

Eggers really cares about students' learning and his exams are really fair. This quizzes are very hard and all conceptual, but the lowest one gets dropped so usually it doesn't affect the overall grade too much. He was definitely much better when I took him for 10B than 10C, but I still love his style of teaching.

I have had Eggers for Math 10B and 10C, and I can fairly say that he is such a sweet, caring teacher. The quizzes are a bit weird, but the midterms and final are extremely fair and like the practice tests. He is so kind and approachable, and tells funny jokes in lecture. I would 100% take him again. Slight mistakes in lecture sometimes, but great

This guy is an amazing professor and and amazing human. He is excellent. Would HIGHLY recommend. Makes lectures super entertaining. Teaches extremely difficult material in an easy to understand way. Cares about the students a great deal. Goes out of his way to make sure students are comfortable in class and asking questions.

Easy!

The professor is very nice and has a good sense of humor. His homework is very hard, but graded easily (the harder ones are graded on completion and the easier ones graded on accuracy). Exams are very easy compared to homework. If you understand the examples done in class, exams should be very easy.

He made the subject enjoyable during lectures, which got people to show up even though it wasn't mandatory. Even though he tends to focus on theory a lot, the examples he gives in lectures were pretty clear. The exams were really similar to the practice tests which was soo nice. Overall would recommend

One of the best Professor's I've taken, made the class enjoyable to attend.

This guy is literally the GOAT. John Eggers is my sunshine. Crystal clear lectures and straightforward exams.

Prof Eggers is one of the BEST for MATH 20E! His HW are challenging and requires deep thinking about materials, but you can always go to OH and TA are willing to help. Discussions are required but they are helpful so I would go anyway. Exam are straight and VERY EASY if you do HW carefully and try practice exam he gave.

Professor Eggers' class can be challenging, but engaging with the material and using resources like unstuckstudy AI makes it manageable. Exams are straightforward if you stay on top of the homework.

I love when he blames the chalk for his mistakes. He's like “the chalk doesn't want to behave today” he's hilarious. Homework heavy, exams are insanely easy.

Lectures not mandatory and not helpful, many tangents. If confused, ask TA or youtube. Straightforward exams, similar practice ones released. 1 cheatsheet per exam. Grade based off hw, discussions, 2 midterms, and final. If you read the book and do practice problems, you'll succeed. I skipped most lectures and ended with an A, but I studied well.

Eggers' style does not appeal to a lot of people here, however, you cannot expect professor will feed you with everything in class. Final hard? Indeed, yet it is not unsolvable. I did not know to approach about 1/3 of problems at beginning, yet, finish all at end and got 99 in Final. I did not rely on sheets, so that is also my suggestion.

Professor Eggers is a great professor. Lectures weren't mandatory, and honestly seemed very off topic to what we were tested on. The discussion worksheets are on par with what you need to know in the class. Eggers knows his stuff, he's such an awesome dude. Just make sure to study and try, there will be a lot of solo learning. The curve is insane:)

I liked him. Not super exciting, but not a bad prof. Make sure you read the textbook -- he doesn't go over everything in class. Much better than other prof. Has established office hours, lets you work out the problem together. Explains things to the degree that you would need on exam (but not to the degree to fully understand, if that bothers you)

Great prof, midterms were a bit difficult, but I found the final to be easy. Just do the HW and you'll be fine

honestly just took him for 10a my first quarter and he was not that bad. main issue is that he spends most lecture time going over proofs. but if u study outside of class, actually do the hw, and ask for help when needed u should pass. everyone talking bad about him just didn't put the work in. he DOES curve at the end!!
