I LOVE JORDAN HAMILTON. He cares so much about his students, his lectures are extremely clear, and he is an overall incredible prof. If you have him, you're lucky. He's the only prof in this entire school worth waking up for 8:30 for. His sections always have a higher average than the course overall, so GO to his lectures. Also, fun Fridays!

Hamilton is hands down the best prof Ive ever had. He respects his students and genuinely cares. He's hilarious and really wants us to succeed, I really wish he taught upper year classes. I don't think I would've done as well as I had with a different prof

Amazing lecturer. Probably one of the best profs I had in first year. He really explains the concepts well. If you go to class and do the assignments on time, it is pretty much guaranteed you will do well.

Really great lecturer but the difficulty of content taught did not match the difficulty of content on the exams. Even though he said that studying what he went through would be enough. Not extremely impressed by that part, but solid teacher.

First of all, Jordan is an amazing lecturer. However, although he does a great job at teaching, there are a lot of improvements to be made in terms of the level of difficulty of the exams. He teaches well and gives review sessions before exams, but the scope of the content does not cover everything on the exams and you get destroyed.

J Hammy is a legend. He teaches material in a clear manner. He also did fun logic problems every Friday. He runs lots of office hours for students. Lots of students respect him. He posts his weekly notes to Learn so students can study them. He also ran review sessions during midterms and finals. All profs should be like him.

This man is a gem. Calculus sucks, but somehow I enjoyed his classes? He explained everything clearly, without rushing through details. I took calculus in highschool so I may have had an advantage, but this is the first time I really understood it. He tells good stories and gives out candy. 10/10 would recommend.

My class is a sorta disruptive class, but when Jordan started speaking, there was not a single noise made. He made difficult topics into something comprehensible. He is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He truly cares and will teach in the style the class will understand. It was a pleasure being in his class.

I worked really hard in this course and got a good grade. Jordan has good lectures but doesn't really challenge our thinking or explain how something is useful to our field. You'll be spoon fed information, and he pretty much went through the exam questions during his exam review so if you go, you'd ace the exam. Not that useful long term.

J Hammy taught us for Calculus 1 in the fall term. He enjoyed our class so much (and we enjoyed him) that he requested to teach us again for Calculus 2 (MATH 118). His teaching style was mostly the same as before. He encourages questions in class and provides lots of help in the form of review sessions and office hours. He's a pretty chill dude.
