his ascend make him little hard to understand, but still he is a very good teacher, he make calculus is for you

better than any other calculus teacher at gsu

He's great! Really concerned that you do well and understand the concepts. It's not a free ride, but he'll help get you ready for Cal. I. I hope I'm lucky enough to get him again

Great Teacher. He teaches the material with ease and he knows his stuff. The class is fairly difficult itself but he knows his stuff. Just come to class and learn the material and you should do fine. Pay attention to the examples he puts on the board. 70% of the time it's on the test.

Grinshpon does have an accent, but its not hard to understand, really. For 1113 everything is through course compass so homework/tests/quizzes are all pretty easy. Taking notes are helpful-- he's a really good teacher; knows his stuff! I didn't open the book once this semester, everything is online... don't waste your money getting the book!

Grinshpon is a fairly good teacher, although coursecompass does most of the teaching. He teaches interactively, which I believe is best for math. His accent is understandable if you really listen. He tries to be funny sometimes and it doesn't work, so he's really hilarious. Easy to zone out during class and fall asleep or do something else.

very profession, possesses great teaching gift and interpersonal skills. always eager to help during the office hours.

Calc 2 material is hard. He explains it very well though. His lectures are worth attending because the book is useless. His quizzes are harder than the tests. For quizzes, he gives you one free hint/answer. He grades leniently. The HARD final is written by the dept and he doesn't grade it. I enjoyed his class. He has a good sense of humor too,

Actually I found the book as very important after every lecture. he is not easy because calc 2 is not easy. he just grades the tests the way hes supposed to but you'll get partial credit for doing anything thats relevant. he makes everything clear to students, very funny guy and extremely helpful. in class and office. highly recommend him.G-luck

I think he's a great professor but I hate math. We also had 3 programming projects but he's extremely helpful with any question you may find hard. Pop quizzes were either take home or group work. No study guides but his tests are basically verbatim what you do in class and homework. You have take notes and practice.

Attending class is mandatory for a passing grade. Tests are fair and the quizzes on Wiley plus are not fair because he allows only one attempt and the answers has to be EXACT. He is a good lecturer & really humorous if you listen closely. His notes are very organized and neat. He explains everything clearly even tho his russian accent isnt.

Mr.Grishphon is a nice guy and always eager to answer all the questions. His notes are extremely helpful and straightforward, so make sure u attend class meetings and write them down. Don't buy the textbook, just purchase the online code. One of my fav class. He's a great teacher despite his accent

The class was hard because the material was hard. However, Dr. Grinshpon made it easy to understand with his super detailed notes, which also helped when it came time to study for tests and final. Missing a class will make it hard to catch up. We had 8 pop quizzes, 4 tests, and the final which is HARD. If you have to take this class, take him!! :)

The BEST Calculus I teacher, PERIOD! You'd be crazy to take anyone else, but this is a very hard class and you can't miss a single day or you'll do miserably on the exam. Buy the txt book, and do even & odd problems. The MAC lab has the solution manual for even and odds. I got an A+ but it was with MANY hrs of hard work and a great Prof. Good luck

Amazing teacher. Yeah, he has a very thick Russian accent, but his English is perfect, so it's not that hard to understand. Take notes in class word for word and forget about reading the book; his notes are much more helpful. Do the work, ALL OF IT, and go to the SI sessions and you'll pass this class no prob.

He is an awesome teacher, and gives great notes. You will have to put in a lot of time and effort, and if you do you should be fine. It is hard, but I can't imagine that there is a better teacher.

A good teacher, gives good notes on the material, but I wished he had more examples relating to problems in the book. Has plenty of office hours so make use of those. The only negative aspect is that he yells and gets kind of irritated when you go for help and have no idea what he's talking about or when you can't grasp the concept of the material.

Very good teacher. Adds humor to his lectures. If you put in the time doing homework and studying, you should do very well. SI helps too. Online quizzes were kind of tricky with the format your answers should be in. The four tests and final were easier than the online quizzes though. Also has old tests/finals to practice on uLearn which help a lot.

Good teacher, will go off on you if you forget precalculus stuff so make sure you know all o it. He gives a lot of extra credit which is a plus and he is funny. If you do all youre work for his class you will pass with a good grade. :)

Dr. Grinshpon is an AMAZING teacher. He is so helpful and always willing to help. Anybody who has anything negative to say is clearly lazy. You MUST do the homework and attend class, and you will finish with a good grade. He is by far my favorite teacher ever.

He's SO mean! Esp. if you don't remember precal! He takes off points alot. 5 pts of extra credit built into every test. He's a great teacher. I would take him again. And I didn't really remember a lot of precal but I still got an A. Go to the help sessions & SI

he's actually pretty mean, he's always making comments and makes you feel bad if you don't know something!!

Strict teacher. Calculus two is a hard class not matter who you take. But just know that this teacher expects you to know everything about precal when coming into this class. I don't regret taking this class because it makes me feel more prepared for cal 3, got a B+ and earned it. Always show up or you will miss important information for test.Do HW

Professor G, IS THE BEST math teacher I have ever had. I knew nothing about Calc failed it once before but with Professor G he helped me through. He is a good guy and I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM ANYTIME! Also defend his teaching methods!

I had him for calc 1 and I thought he was a great teacher. If I hadn't been so lazy with homework I would have gotten an A. He can be pretty snarky at times, but if you pay attention in class he gives really good notes.

Dr. Grinshpon is a great teacher, one of my favorite teachers ever. And I actually found him very nice and willing to help. My advice is not to miss any classes and come to his office hours when you have questions. And don't get scared by the horror stories you hear about Calc II - with this teacher, it's totally doable.

He can analytically break down ideas where it is easier to understand. He is not necessarily a hard teacher because he grades test through partial credit and a rubric. Going to office hours is a must if you don't understand ideas but make sure you understand basic concepts (cal 1&2) or he might get frustrated. Great teacher.

4 Tests, 1 Final, numerous quizzes (take-home and inclass group); lowest quiz grade gets dropped, Final is averaged with lowest test grade (assuming it's higher than lowest test grade); homework is optional but highly recommended; heavy Russian accent; idiot-proofed notes; LONG test/quiz problems; highly recommended professor

He is a great teacher, but can come across as a little rude sometimes. He provides very detailed notes with worked examples and offers many opportunities for extra credit. He made himself very available and constantly kept the class updated on events via email. The content is pretty difficult so studying outside of class is a must.

He is an outstanding professor when it comes to explaining the material; however, he had very high expectations of his students. Must know your precalculus or he will get an attitude with you. If your weak in math or do not want to be challenged take someone else.

Dr. Grinshpon is my Calculus legendary hero. He will come off as very strict and mean but take his sarcasm as his sense of humor. If he's hard on you, it means he believe in you and wants you to succeed. With that being said, he gives the best notes and is available to students in office and over the email. Outside studying is heavily recommended.

Dr. Grinshpon is amazing!! Of course he can be a little abrasive sometimes, but just stay off your phone, and he won't bother you haha. Summer semester had three exams, one final, 10 or less homeworks, class attendance and participation. He always curves! His notes are detailed but EXTREMELY HELPFUL! This is a hard class so expect outside effort.

Dr. Grinshpon is my least favorite math professor I have ever had, and I've had a lot. He's rude and obnoxious. I still made a high grade in his class, but I would not recommend taking him at all.

Great teacher who is always willing to help. He gives you the test format as part of your study utensils and takes questions from the homework. Do the homework and you'll be fine.

He is arguably one the best math teacher in Georgia state. He gives good notes and sometimes even types them for you goes over example in class that will be on the exam. Overall I cannot think of anything negative to say of him.

Professor Grinshpon is the best math professor that I've had. Very clean and clear notes. He is accessible through office hours and explains concepts that you may have missed. However, make sure you know your pre-calc and algebra before starting the class. He will embarrass you if you don't.

Dr. Grinshpon is one of the best math professors at GSU! His notes are very good and explains the conceptual part of mathematics very well. He answers everyone's questions in his best ability. He gave quizzes that were in-class and take home quizzes. Tests were very long but everything that was covered in the quizzes. TAKE HIM!

He is the best CAL 3 teacher you could ever have! 4 test, lots of homework and grades for attendance. Take him!

Best calculus professor ever, extremely helpful, cares a lot about his students and their success. Its really hard to understand him in class, so PLEASE go to his office hours he will never turn you away, he is really nice despite his rude manner!!! You will never find a better professor.we had 3 exams and a final, I failed an exam & still got an A

One Word: Awesome! I had him for Calc 3 and now Differential Equations, I did not regret it. He explained the concepts very throughly. I feel asleep because it was in the summer and he had office hours to help you out with any concerns. You need to know your Precalculus! Dr. Grinshpon is one of the best math professors at GSU! You have to take him.

He is the best math professor i have ever had; however, you need to get use to his accent. But he writes every single words on the board. Overall, very very good professor.

Good character. Good teacher, nice stuff.

good teacher

Dr. Grinshpon is simply the best math professor you can possibly get. Lectures are always clear and are exaplained in detail if needed. You will be given tons of opportunities to truly understand the material, if math is not your thing. Come to his office, participate, and have fun with this guy. He is super intelligent, witty, and fun.

Know your algebraprecalc lest you want him to make you feel stupid! He does give take-home tests if you didn't do so well on his in-class ones. If you go to the MAC, maybe have a solid group that you can do HW with, and practice the problems, you should be ok.

He is a pretty chill guy. If you go to class and do the things he lays out for you, you will do well in the class. He is also very helpful. Really good professor!

Professor Grinshpon was extremely helpful and clear in his lectures. He assigns two projects during the semester and they each took about 15 minutes to complete. He doesn't remind you of when the online homework is due, but as long as you are organized and independent, you should get an A.

This is my 4th time taking a class with Dr. Grinshpon and I am glad I took Linear Algebra with him. He made the class interesting. He always took his time to explain the concepts clearly and is always there if you need him. The quizzes he gave out were fair because they test your concepts. He knows Linear Algebra very well! YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM!

Don't take the class MWF.

Best math teacher at GSU. He's extremely helpful. He's not like other teacher's that get mad when you ask questions. He genuinely wants to help and see you do well. Just to add this dude is a genius on top of all of that. Take him!! He's perfection. I'm taking him this semester for Bridge and he's by far the best teacher I've had so far at GSU.

Here's the thing with Dr. Grinshpon, the guy loves teaching and he's really good at it. That doesn't mean he's going to give you A's for 'trying' to learn. He grades based on if you know the material or not. He's training THINKERS and STUDENTS. If you are one of those people, you will do well. If you are not, look out.

If you're in math for the long run take him, if this is for something like an undergrad. Req. Don't do it. He makes you work for anything higher than a B. A ton of homework, and his lectures made sense in class but later I wouldn't be able to recall any of it. He's good at what he does though, and can make you feel stupid for not being mathliterate

Very passionate guy, has an accent, gives very clear lectures and provides many examples. Can be harsh with his comments on tests and such, but is an overall nice dude. Really helps you learn the material. Tests were pretty easy.

I took him in Spring 2012 he was such a great instructor that I believe he was the best teacher of all time, even though I am science major. He is very professional and oh man has good memory of his students. If you love math or don't you need to take him. Highly recommended

As goes for any math class, especially calculus, you need to show up and study unless you're just naturally good at math. I actually got dropped from this class because of some error the school made, and i started to freak out. However, Dr. Grinshpon actually cares, and I got into the correct math class. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

He is the sharpest professors Ive ever had at GSU. Crazy smart. If you really want to understand the material take him. He puts a lot of effort into preparing for his lectures. Also, he curved most tests without telling he did so. You can make an A or A+ in his classes but you'll have to work for it. Do the syllabus HW he assigns.

He is probably my favorite professor ever. Most of the problems from his tests are exactly like the Study Guide questions he assigns. He also gives a lot extra credit on take-home/pop quizzes and adds 10 extra points to each test! Amazing! I highly recommend him.

Never taken calc before, but went to every single tutoring session he had. Go see him for any and all your questions, he's overly helpful and really cares about his students. Pop quizzes aren't that bad. Gives take home quizzes too. As the department chair, he is big on concepts and definitions and grades tough, but each test has 10 bonus points.

He really cares about his students and wants to see you pass. Lots of online homework and take home quizzes. Some pop quizzes but they're not that bad. His tests are usually easier than the study guides. He curves the tests without telling his students. Some extra-credit. You need to put in effort to pass, especially if you haven't taken calc yet

I think Dr. Grinshpon is one of the best professors at GSU. I constantly encourage people to take him. Word of warning: there is a quiz the first day of class if you do poorly he will email you to say you should drop the class. Also, don't play on your phones he will make you set your phone on the front desk or ask you to leave. He is a great guy.

Dr. G is an awesome professor! It's obvious he's very passionate about math and loves teaching. He's great at explaining difficult concepts and really makes an effort to help his students understand them. I had him for both Calc I and Calc II, and I'm praying he teaches Calc III so I can take him. (Make sure you have mastered your precalc, though!)

He helps you understand the concepts clearly and I would highly recommend him. His study guides really help to get an A on tests.

Dr. Grinshpon is a great professor. He ensures that everything is clear, and he teaches in a way that is easily understandable. I always highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Grinshpon is an amazing professor. His lectures are clear. He always explains the "why" of math. Take notes in class and go to his office hours. Ask questions! He will answer them. He is very forthright. It's constructive criticism. Overall, he is passionate about teaching math. He will tell you to drop if you don't seem ready.

He's the best math teacher I've come across in my 18 years of life. He is very passionate and caring towards his students. As long as you attend lectures and pay attention in class, you should be fine. He is also great about providing help outside of class.

Great professor, smart professor. He wants you to succeed but he will make you work for it. He genuinely cares for his students as long as you are respectful and do your job as a student. Just don't use your phone in class or he'll happily give you the boot ;) If you do the work, you'll be fine.

best professor. His tests are to the point with extra credit. He only makes sure we know all the concepts, if we do, its an easy A. There is plenty of homework but it weighs as much as a test grade so its worth it. Also, Homework grade is an easy 100. most of the quizzes are take-home quizzes. He gives extra credit on the quizzes too.

Yeah, ok, some students think he's kind of scary but I swear it's just cuz he expects a lot out of you and knows your capable of succeeding but knows when you're slacking. GO TO OFFICE HOURS. The thick accent takes a couple classes to get accustomed to, but he's incredibly clear in his explanations and has a sarcastic sense of humor.

One of my favorite profs ever! He's funny, gives 10 bonus points extra credit (through take-home problems) for each test, and heavily weighs online homework. He genuinely cares about his students and makes calculus simple.

He has a very strict no electronics policy and will embarrass you if he catches you. But it is for your own good. His lectures are very simple and easy to follow. Tests and take home quizzes are also fairly easy if you study and come to class. There are some pop quizzes but they arent too bad. It is definitely very easy to make an A.

His lectures are extremely important; he covers so much every class. If you miss one lecture, it's going to be hard. If you miss two, you might be doomed. With that being said, his lectures are AMAZING, and he is an INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR. If you are looking for a MODERN ALGEBRA classes (and probably any class), I will definitely ADVISE TO TAKE HIM!!

One of my favorite professors at GSU. Definitely would recommend if you're hard working

Dr Grinshpon is a good teacher. Many people believe that Calc 2 is the hardest out of all the calculus classes from 1-3, so blaming the teacher is not always the best excuse. There is a lot that goes on in one class day so don't even think about skipping. Overall, he is a great but Calc 2 can be hard.

He's very hard on the students, but it's because he wants them to understand what they are learning, not just memorize formulas. However, be careful: Don't sit in the front row, he doesn't believe in deodorant.

Amazing professor! If you are not a cabbage, you will pass. If you are not a pigeon, you will get an easy B. And finally, if you are not a goose, you will get an easy A.

Truly the best professor, very intelligent. People who complain about this class have poor study habits. Its calculus II what are you expecting? Make sure to have adequate prerequisite knowledge from college algebra, pre-calc, and calc 1. His study guides give a clear cut indication of what will be on the exams. Extra-credit offered as well.

Dr. Grinshpon is an amazing Calc II teacher. Sit in the front, put away your phone (or he'll take care of it for you), and get ready to learn some serious math.

The best math professor I've ever had in my life. He explains things REALLY well, and he deeply cares about students, but he's VERY hard and WILL yell at you if you don't answer his questions. He wants you to LEARN the material. There are VERY, VERY few people WORTHY enough to take from him. If you've ever taken his class, you know what I mean.

His class was great. He knew how to explain the material and he was available outside of class if you emailed him. He is willing to take the time to make sure you understand the concepts.

He really knows what he's teaching and he really wants kids to learn the material. However, if you don't dedicate at least 2 hours a day at home to practice the material, don't take his class. His tests are difficult if you don't. He also moves really fast-paced, so if you miss class, good luck catching up. All of his quizzes are also pop quizzes.

This man is a genius. One of the best professors at GSU. Highly recommend taking any/all calculus sequence classes from him. Work hard and not only will you pass, you'll developed a love and appreciation of Calculus and Mathematics. Also ������

Just make sure you don't have your phone even out in class, and he'll be kind to you. The difficulty is pretty standard as far as Calc III classes go. His tests don't deviate too much from what he has taught and practiced in class or given for homework, so they are not bad.

He's a good professor. Very accessible through email and office hours. Don't skip the class or have your phone out. Make sure you pay attention. He makes you work for the class.

Dr. Grinshpon is a solid choice for anyone who really wants to learn. He cares greatly about students learning the material. His big push from day one is to not focus on the grade, don't focus on the easy way out. Focus on learning the material and the grade you want will come as a side effect of it. I've enjoyed the class. Well worth the struggle!

He is a competent Professor and very willing to give additional help. If you truly work on learning the material, good grades will follow. Otherwise, you're going to have a bad time **I would not recommend taking him (or any other Calculus class) over the summer. I truly enjoy math but this class went so fast it was hard to grasp the concepts.

He seems harsh at first and he portrays himself like that, but he cares about the students' grades. He is very helpful during reviews before the tests. As long as you pay attention in class, do all the homework, and practice his study guides you'll get an A.

Great instructor. Teaches math really well and gives lots of support during the semester. DO NOT USE YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN CLASS. It wastes yours, and your classmate's time, and he will call you out if you are distracting in class. If you do the work and study, you will pass this class.

Difficulty? Medium. HW? Easy 100. Quizzes? Easy A's. The tests are what trip people up. Paying attention in class will REALLY help. The practice tests will determine how you do. If you can do the SI ones you'll at least pass. If you can do the online ones you'll get an A. The catch is that they're long. Do them early & go to SI with questions.

Prof. Grinshpon is just a really good teacher. He'll spend as much time as you need to make sure you understand the material. He cares about Calculus and he cares about his students, so there's not much more you can ask for. I 100% would take a class of his again. He has a thicc Russian accent, but I'm from Georgia and I understood him fine.

Solid Teacher. This class requires you to PRACTICE in order to get an A. The homework's, though tedious and long, actually come through and contribute as a solid portion of your final grade. He won't fail you, if you try.

Overall good teacher, comes off as intimidating but he cares. Prereq quiz on first day of class. Pop quizzes that end up being easier than expected. 4 tests, plus final which replaces one test. Show up to class, pay attention, do study guides for tests and you'll get an A. Study guides are very much like the tests. Don't use electronics in class.

TAKE HIM. He is a great professor and really cares about your grade. He goes over the slides and practice problems that will be on the test. If you meet him in his office hours, he will help you understand the concept very well. Although he is a tough grader, he gives out a lot of extra credit. He is a gem!

Definitely the BEST teacher I have had in so long. Sure, calc is challenging but with him it is literally difficult to do poorly. He covers EVERYTHING before the exam so if you do bad it's really no ones fault but your own because all of the test questions are almost identical to the study guide. Plus, he is always giving extra credit!

Would highly recommend Dr. Grinshpon if you actually want to learn calculus. Enforces prerequisites (algebra, trig, etc...), definitely know your fundamentals before taking the class. Teaches the material very well and the study guides more than prepare you for the tests. Be a grown up, do the homework, pay attention and you will make an A.

This professor is absolutely amazing. Be sure to show up to class because attendance is mandatory, but know that his lectures are excellent. Also, he makes sure concepts are understood by his students.

Dr. Grinshpon was a great teacher that really made an effort to be clear and concise in his teaching. Taking his class as a retake from a previous attempt at Calc I with another teacher, it was a breath of fresh air to be in his class. He does few examples, but teaches the main concepts. If not for my own personal decisions, I would have had a B.

He is a great professor and gives lengthy but extremely helpful study guides prior to tests. He definitely makes you work for your grade but is extremely helpful. Go to office hours!!!

I enjoyed having him as a professor, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to truly learn. He goes through his lectures VERY thoroughly. I felt like I was never behind in his class and liked that he took the time to explain concepts. He is also very accessible outside of class and seems to enjoy helping students understand the material.

Professor Grinshpon is probably one of the best professors at GSU. He's extremely witty and can teach well, but is also strict at times. His lectures require attendance are very engaging. He seems scary at first but that's only because he wants the students to be disciplined. His no-phone policy is reasonable. Would definitely take his class again!

Dont get me wrong, hes a great professor. I learned a lot from his lectures, but this *online* summer course was v stressful. A lot of his lectures werent spaced out well & we didnt finish the content. But dont let this sway you away from him. I can tell he cares bc hes welcoming in his office hrs & gives great feedback. He even gave out EC.

He's okay. Online transition was rough and his explanations are drawn out. I'm sure there are better professors and would try to take someone else. However, if he's the only one left, you should be fine.

Dr. Grinshpon is a one of the best teachers I have ever had at GSU. Calculus is one class that takes a lot of practice, and even though that this class is online b/c of the pandemic, he still knows how to help each individual be able to grasp the material. He is 10/10 approachable. I would take Dr. Grinshpon any day.

He's a really friendly professor! Be prepared for online lectures (about 2 hours) every week in addition to normal class. His videos and lectures are really straight forward, if you watch all of them and do the worksheets the tests and quizzes will be super easy. There's a decent amount of WebAssign homework, but the due dates are spaced out good.

I wouldn't listen to all those shade throwers! Dr. Grinshpon is the best teacher at GSU and that's a fact. Calculus is not an easy subject if you don't keep up with your end of the deal. Dr. Grinshpon's tests are fairly simple if you pay attention in class and actively study. If you don't work for it, how can you expect a good grade in class?

Honest review, If you take the lectures seriously and do your work you can get an easy A. However, what I did not like about the class was we had to watch 1-2 hours of pre-lecture videos before the main lecture which doesn't make any sense. You have to invest a lot of time especially if you have no idea about calc. Tests are similar to study guides

Dr. Grinshpon is a SUPER kind hearted person, even if everything was online. He answered all questions & emails, & made sure his students understood him during class. This is important for math. Calculus does require practice, so there is a lot of lecture & homework. However if you can take him, sign up for his class. You wont regret it :)

I honestly loved this class. His lectures were easy to understand and his tests weren't hard if you watched every lecture. He responds to emails at the speed of light. He curved every test including the final, dropped two lowest quizzes and 4 lowest homework grades. It's not that hard to get an A in his class. The Final was a BREEZE. TAKE HIS CLASS

First Time taking Calc. He is a solid prof. Do the assignments early especially the first week and watch the pre-lecture 1-2hrs before lecture. He designed it so the students taking it first time can learn. So when the tests come you can focus on the study guide!!!! He will make you work for your grade. Might seem mean but no that bad actually

He is a nice professor, you only need to complete your homework weekly and watch his lectures. He replies to your emails rather quick, in case you have doubts or even for other matter.

He's a very good teacher and I recommend anyone who's planning on taking his course. If you do your homework and watch the videos he gives, you will 100% pass his class with an A. He's really sweet if you have any questions and makes little jokes during class. He goes over the material and good examples to help you fully understand the concepts.

Excellent lecturer for difficult subjects. There is extra credit available. Do the homework right and it will prepare you for the test well. TAKE NOTES, the lectures are a gem, and are very good for teaching you the subject.

Awesome class, and awesome professor. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class. Lots of material available to study. Tests are like the study guide. If you attend lecture, do the homework, and watch the videos, then you should be good. Lots of extra credit on quizzes. Stresses the importance of knowing formulas, but its all for the best. A 10/10.

This teacher is great if you make sure to take notes and plan the watch some videos. It seems like a pain but its worth it because if you keep up you will learn. Also the tests tend to be easier than the homework and study guide

Professor Grinshpon is an excellent lecturer. His classes and lecture videos are engaging. He is easily accessible outside of class, and he answers emails fast too. If you watch the assigned lecture videos, do the homework and worksheets, and attend office hours, it won't be hard to get a good grade.

The best professor I've ever had. He is an amazing lecturer, but will make you work for your A. Watch the video lectures, attend lectures and fully complete the exam study guides! Is adamant about having a solid foundation in Algebra and Pre-cal. He is very accessible outside of class and genuinely cares about his students. Take him if you can!!

He super funny and nice, overall great personality. He is very accommodating and quick to respond; sometimes I worry he doesn't get a break lol. The difficulty comes naturally with the course, but he wants you to be well-versed in pre-reqs. Study guides are very nice with LOTS of problems with different variations. Lectures are very clear.

Professor is very kind and so understanding. Attendance is not mandatory but GO! He posts all of his notes and videos to icollege. He responds to email pretty fast and is willing to help you in every way. His study guides are GOATED so make sure to do them! Yes you need to put in effort but this is calc 2 what did you expect?

Very fantastic teacher. He's knowledgeable about the subject of Calculus and cares that you learn. His classes are very lecture heavy but helpful nonetheless.

--> summer course, 3hrs/day, 2/week

I'm Dr.Grinshpon's #1 fan! He gives clear and detailed lectures, on top of that he provides SO MANY resources to ensure students can succeed in the course, such as lecture notes, lecture videos, lecture video notes, and study guides. If you need to take Calc courses, go to Dr.Grinshpon's class!!!!

Seems strict but if you put in the work and aren't a distraction in class (especially looking at your phone lol), then you'll get by easily. I highly recommend watching his video lectures at home and taking notes on them the day before the in-person lecture.

I took Dr. G's calc I class over the summer - despite the heavy content and me not being up to date on the prerequisites his class never felt hopeless. He's an excellent lecturer and I never felt lost in class like I have with other professors. I never actually watched his videos and was fine - but I'd recommend feeling it out first.

The GOAT. He's a really cool guy and he's really intent on his students understanding the material. His notes are top tier and very thorough, and during his lectures he elaborates on everything. HWs build off of lectures. No surprises from his testing material; everything you are tested on, he has shown you, whether it be in HW of in class notes.

Nice teacher but a heavy grader. 3 tests one final and he grades hard on one of the tests himself others are done by the TAs. No extra Credit or anything. Almost have to study every day. Lectrues are good. If you study you can actually get a good grade if you don't study you won't nothing comes without putting the work.

Lecture heavy, but every topic is discussed, which I appreciated. Test are hard but in my experience, he will find a way to give you points for the problem set up and work, which is super nice considering I've had professors who will NOT. Anytime I had to ask a question he was available, and his jokes in lecture lightened the mood. Overall great!

Yes, he has an accent, however this was not a learning barrier since everything he says he writes on the board, the publishes the notes after. Attendance is not graded, but there are quizzes randomly in class, so it's better to show up. He always answered my questions promptly, and he can be tough, but trust me I understand Calc after this class.

The BEST professor I ever had. It is a tough class but I could get good grades on tests because of his lectures. He went through everything during the class and even posted lecture videos on icollege. Attendance is not included in grades but we have quiz once a week so you better to show up to class. 10/10 recommend!!!

This class takes up a lot of your time, esp if you're not good at math(like me). But the professor is amazing at explaining the concepts. I absolutely hate math but he made the journey less miserable by being a great professor. Just make sure to pay attention during lectures, especially if you have a quiz at the end of class.

Dr. Grinshpon was genuinely one of the best professors I've had. All the ratings about his accent are ridiculous. He does have an accent but it is small and still really easy to understand him - don't blame your inability to study on him just because he's "foreign". You do have to study but his tests are almost exactly like the study guides!

He is funny. It was hard for me first; however, it got easier eventually. His tests included everything in the study guides. He can be mean sometimes because he doesn't let us use calculators to do quizzes. Overall, he is a good teacher.

Best math teacher I've ever had!! It was hard at first because his handwritting and accent, but I got used to them and class got a lot easier. Lectures were boring for me, but he covers all the topic well and posts all notes online. Tests are curved. Fast with emails. Very strict and can seem mean sometimes.

The class was pretty easy in my opinion. He is a little sarcastic sometimes, but he is also funny. He just wants you to pay attention in class. The class is a lot easier if you have him for recitation too because he'll explain everything to you. The study guides are basically the same as the tests. Homework doesn't take that long either.

Great professor, as long as you do your work, you'll be fine in this class. He has lecture videos online that he'll want you to watch before class. Goes over a lot of practice problems. Make sure to read over class notes and do the study guides before tests. No quizzes in recitation; he makes us do it in class, but doesn't say when they are.

Definitely one of the better teachers I've had in terms of teaching, but just an overall heavy workload class. Also he doesn't give test corrections vs. other profs, but the tests weren't that bad. I'd take him again just cus he's good at teaching & funny. Don't take him if you expect an easy class though since he expects a lot of outside work

Very tough class. Make sure to study outside of class, every week. The teacher provides with pre-recorded video lectures for each topic, and I recommend watching those since they give you a better understanding of questions that may be on the test. Do the study guides, every single question! I didn't do either thing and I barely survived the class.

Best calc prof. you can get. Material is very well laid out and extremely organized on iCollege. Gives lots of extra credit- all tests and quizzes give ~5 pts of extra credit. Most difficult aspect was by far the amount of HW, but if you don't start it last minute it is manageable. He's very funny, and kind as long as you dont ask stupid questions.

He really cares about his student's success and he's also a great explainer. He will go off on you if you're on your phone in class. He is VERY accessible outside of office hours. In fact, he will even respond to emails on Saturday and Sundays! He's a great lecturer, and makes an inhearantly difficult subject somewhat managable. I would take him.

So he is a really good teacher, if you pay attention youll do well but the amount of work he requires you to do outside of class is crazy. if you do all the work he demands you to do then youll get an ez A but if you dont youll get a solid B. dont go to class? youll fail

this guy literally embarasses students in class for having phones

so funny and comedic

hes so funny and hilarious

he is so funny and hilarious. one thing embarassing is that he will ask you to come to the front of the class if you are on your phone

take him if you want a comedic year.

one time, he asked my friend to leave class because he was not in grinshpons class

best and funny professor ever

the funny thing he'll do is that if he sees you are on your phone, he will embarass you in front of the entire class

Let me start off by saying CALC 2 IS NOT AN EASY COURSE. He definitely is the best professor in terms of teaching.For his pop quiz he gives out 5 extra points.He is not going to hand out A's like other professors. I remember my first test i got a 76.I was stressing so hard,and blamed it on how strict he was.I ended up getting an A+ in his class.

he is so funny when he sees you on phones. if he sees you are using your phone, he'll stop class and stares at you and embarasses you in front of the entire class by asking you to come to the front of the class and he asks you to turn in your phone and makes you sit back

take him. the best professor ever

Please do your homework for that class because the homework is the test itself. The lectures are good read them. They will help you on the exam massively. He does curve the grades at the end. He does have a fast accent. It might be hard to understand at first, but at the end of the class, he stays to clear out any doubts.

this guy is the real deal. I hate math, always have, dreaded taking this class he made it so much easier than I thought it would be. DO THE STUDY GUIDE. If you understand all the problems on the study guide you'll get an A on all your exams. always reach out to him or attend office hours for homework or study guide help. the goat

very nice calc 2 teacher. grades pretty leniently too and gives out practice that is highly applicable to the test material. he also teaches well and despite what people say of his accent, he's actually still highly comprehensible. do the practice and show up to class and you will be fine.

Grinshpon is a math genius, but he's also very blunt, which I chalk up to him just being Russian. He's a bit funny, and moves quick through lectures to get everything covered. There are a lot of quizzes, which range from amazing to horrible. The tests are tough, but it's all on the study guides. If you don't understand his accent... that's on you

The final is the hardest part of class. The last unit on Taylor/Mclaurin is the hardest for many students, and he went through it very fast. There is no final study guide. I did very well on his tests, but the final was my downfall. However, if you do well on the tests and quizzes like I did, you can still scrape by with an A even if you bomb final

Had him for Calc 2,3. In both of his classes, if you paid attention to lectures, did the homework, reviewed study guides, and took advantage of his office hours, you would have no problem walking away with a 90+ grade. These classes are not the easiest, but he will be more than happy to help you only if you put in the effort.

He is a good professor overall. If you pay attention in class you will get a good grade. There's extra points on the quizzes and the exams. Some people found him strict but I think he was alright and tried to maintain a good learning environment.

Loved his class. Was very entertaining and was always willing to help you out. HOWEVER. He is very strict about prerequisites, especially precalc. You must know unit circle and trig identities. Other than that he does a pretty good job of teaching and is pretty reasonable. Only got a B- bc I didn't feel like trying on the final.

Can sometimes be a bit harsh, but once you get past that, he is an amazing teacher.

Professor Grinshpon. Where do I even start? I'm coming back to this thread after transferring to Georgia Tech and switching from economics to a math major. Now, I find myself wishing that I had him as my lecturer again. He's an ***hole. However, he is the best lecturer I've ever had because he solely teaches you how to solve problems. Thats math.

This professor is legit. Great at giving lectures but keep in mind that he's pretty stern. Follow his standards and he'll help you out. He's great with office hours as well! Ignore the 1 star reviews unless you're a soft little snowflake who needs a safe space. I guarantee you that they probably failed too lmfao.

He understands the content really well and can teach it well. Yea he calls kids out if they're on their phone, but he is the best calc teacher GSU offers for Calc 2 from what I've heard. He's also nice if you talk to him outside of lecture. If you do the practice you'll do fine. His tests are basically the study guide as well.

Grinshpon is awesome and a genuinely nice guy. Calc 2 is hard, and that's not his fault. You have to study, do your homework, and pay attention in class. The tests are WAY easier than the homework and he gives comprehensive study guides with everything on the test. He doesn't want to give you an easy A, he wants you to learn math.

GREAT teacher. one of the best math teachers I've had. you have to study tho. Do your homework, do the study guides, and u will be fine. He emphasizes having a good foundation for the class, so makesure u really understand your concepts.

He is very strict in lecture and will directly call you out if you are using your phone, but he is approachable outside class. He was very helpful when I attended his office hours. I thought was an informative lecturer and the tests were straightforward if you did the homeworks. There were pop quizzes given randomly during class however.

Took him for Calc 2, he is a very reasonable professor if you do your work tbh. Never overloads work, but make sure to schedule a decent amount of time for this course cuz it requires it.

I wish you could attend at least one lecture of his. Truly one of the underrated teachers throughout my 19 years of life. Thoroughly elaborates on questions, and maintains a balance of humor and class material. Hope I will have the pleasure of coming across a professor of such caliber once again.

Calc 2 is a difficult course. He can be mean, but is more bark than bite (unless you cheat)! He is very clear about the technology policy, don't be on your phone if you don't want to get called out for it. Worst part of the course (as all calc courses) is the amount of homework, quite time-consuming and tedious. Lots of resources available though!

Calc 2 is light work just do the practice problems he does all class and you'll be fine, others say he doesn't give formula sheets but he gave us a formula sheet for the final

Good Class. If you do the homework and complete the study guides before the tests, you should have an A.

Literally a good teacher, provided everything at the beginning of the semester, topic notes, extended lecture videos, worksheets, worksheet answer sheets Would update & upload class notes from the lecture after every class Study guides given for the tests Pretty specific in grading but not hella nitpicky either & gives good feedback on tests
