If you want to pass Math 2207 definately take him. My suggeton is that do home work, take note and prepare yourself for exam. He always does extra care for students. Sometimes it seems to me that he needs to pass the class not me. I highly recommend everyone who wants to get A.

If you need to take calculus (2205 or 2207), this is your professor to take. Make no mistake, you'd still need to put in lots of work studying and stuff, but the work is so much easier if you pay attention and use whatever he teaches. He's not straight out of the textbook, he's more shortcuts and no bs concepts. Also he makes the class very fun.

Cosma make the class so much easier than it is. Gives you exactly what you want and need for his in class exams, answers all of your emails rapidly. He puts so much effort into making sure you do well. Best professor I've had at Baruch thus far. Take him for an easy C if you care a little you'll get a B if you really work easy A

Amazing math prof. at Baruch, I'm surprised they even had someone like him. Gives clear explanations of difficult materials and has plenty of shortcuts to show. Prepares you for the final really well. Will give extra credit. Not an "Easy A" since it's still math at Baruch and their math dept makes the finals but he gives you the best chance of an A

One of the best professors I've had in Baruch, especially for Calculus. Failed my 1st try with 16/35 on the final and re-took him which helped me get an A- on the class. He's unlike other any professor, b/c he will sit down with you until you get it b/c he cares! TAKE HIM, JUST DO IT!

Best professor I have ever had. His teaching style and shortcuts are AMAZING. First time Ive ever done well in math. Learned more in his pre-calc review than I did in an entire semester. Plus, he allows you to correct tests to get half credit back. That means if you got a 60 on a midterm & do corrections, you could still walk away with an 80 grade

He is the BEST, and I mean, BEST Calc prof at Baruch--heck I would even say of ALL time. I never used Rate My Professor before, but I had to just for him. His extra credits are BEAST, and he gives like 4 review sessions and even typed out like 3 final review sheets for us! Plus he's the funniest professor ALIVE--I hate math, but he made it fun!

This Professor is awesome! I am an A student but I was scared because of the departmental exam. I did not use the book but what he explained was very clear . He gave 4 quizzes and 3 tests but he always explained what will be on the test/quiz. There are online HW but in the reasonable amount. If you want to pass Calc at Baruch take him!

I am terrible at math, but with Marius Cosma as your professor, math should be the least of your worries. He teaches in a way where you understand everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I ended up with a 30/35 on the final, and an A in the class just because of all the reviews Cosma provides for you. This man has my utmost respect. Cosma is the man!!!!

Cosma is the best math professor. His practice exams are basically what are on his exams. He lets you fix your mistakes on exams and give half the points back. I got 35/35 on the final because of his review sheets !! great professor would definitely take his class if you want to pass calc . He sets you up to pass.

This was my 2nd time taking Calculus (Failed first time), my first professor was a little scattered. He wants you to learn, take him if you want to pass. How I got a good grade, did all HW, studied practice exams, learn how to use calculator, went to SSAC (weekly), ask Cosma, thought I would never learn Calculus but don't be scared I did it.

Amazing professor. He makes everything very simple to learn.. If you want to pass, you have to do all the work he asks of you. He lets you fix the quizzes and exams, examples for the calculator were given and so were 4 reviews for the final. Do all the work for the final and you will pass this class.

Not only did he make us 4 review sheets with solutions and how to do these problems, he had 4 review sessions before the final to make sure that all of our questions are answered. He gives short cuts and tons of extra credit. The class isn't easy, but his short cuts and review sheets helped a lot. Also really funny!! Take him :)

You will pass calculus with professor Cosma, he goes beyond for his students, always there for everyone, you can even ask questions via text msg. 5 quizzes, 3 tests, he takes so many hws down from connect, he barely gives any hws to be honest, and yet he has a 90% passing rate on the final, the highest of any professor in Baruch. Just take him! :)

Rather than brag about how many people fail his class, prof Cosma pulls all the stops to prepare his students to pass the dept final. He gives students credit for correcting problems they have trouble with because he wants them to practice for the final. I've never encountered a prof that showed more concern for his students than Cosma, thank you!

Prof Cosma is amazing, he makes you understand calculus, emphasizes the most important points, explain material in a clear, student-friendly way. He is not one of whose arrogant profs that will make you feel dumb for not understanding. Very caring and helpful, makes a lot of jokes. College would've been much more exciting with professors like that

If you got 70% and correct the 30% wrong answers youll get 90% for the quiz. Hes got goofy jokes too. I wish I couldve taken him for calculus too but his classes fill up quick!

RIP Mr. Cosma. By far the most inspirational and funny teacher I've ever had. I had a hard time going to work this morning knowing that he no longer walks among us. It's no wonder Stand and Deliver was his favorite movie. I'll miss him; he molded me into the person I now am. This world is a much better place because of his unparalleled devotion.
