Dr. Warnberg is overall a pretty good teacher. He breaks everything down and explains clearly (which is nice if you arent a math person.) He will answer any questions you have. Nice guy. Very passionate about math. He expects A LOT out of you, and wants you to work for your grade.

Going into the class not taking a challenging math course for a few years I was kind of worried, but Warnberg did a good job at easing our class into the Calculus grind. As long as you keep up with the WebWork, do the suggested homework every once in a while and go in to the tutor or his office hours every once in awhile you'll do fine.

This man is a great professor. I had him for both calc 1 and calc 2. I'm actually disappointed I couldn't have him again for calc 3. He gives a good amount of homework, but he has good reason for doing so. He wants to make sure you understand things as clearly as possible. He is always there for students and will help you whenever you need it.

Warnberg definitely has potential, but I think he's trying to hard to be this amazing teacher and it's kinda backfiring on him. He's definitely gotten better as the semester's progressed, but his expectations for a freshman required math class are absolutely ridiculous. I think once he gains experience he'll be a really good professor.

Warnberg really wants his classes to succeed. In Calc1, we just had an exam and there was so much content that part of it was take home. He challenges people to ask questions and makes sure everyone is heard. Calc is not any easy class, so there are going to be difficulties, but I think he makes it easier and a little more enjoyable. Go to class!

Dr. Warnberg has a long road to success for his teaching abilities. He expects you to teach yourself before the class, and then when he goes over it (if he does) it is suppose to be a review for you. He gets very off topic, and doesn't clearly go over things. The homework is very different from the tests. He is very nice though.

Very arrogant and inconsiderate to students. He is not very willing to help, and assumes you know the material because he does. He often does not include examples, or will do very minimal, easier problems. Prepare to learn almost everything on your own. Harsh grader and ultimately ruins the learning experience. I'd suggest as a last resort.

Dr. Warnberg makes you justify each step of the process with math rules. There are no calculators allowed and tests are very difficult. There are three projects that are not worth the points that you receive for them. Each week we write about a fail and a success that we had in a paper. This is by no means and easy class.

Wish I never took this class with this prof. Everyone is right when they say he makes you show work of your work. Your answer barely matters if you don't show a rule/property of why your work is what it is. You end up explaining each step on top of the math that's hard to begin with. Exams are horrible. If you're a good student maybe you'll get C

Dr. Warnberg started out as a cool guy then went down hill. Condescending when answering questions and made it seem like you should already know the material when it hadn't even been taught. Exams and quizzes very difficult too. Went to office hours to ask about problems and told me I had to try to do it myself instead of asking him.

This class was interesting and seems useful, but was a LOT of work. I spent more time working on this class than all my other classes combined. It is not a 3 credit class, consider it a 4 or 5 credit class when adding. Getting a good grade is possible if you go to office hours often and don't procrastinate. Proofs are hard, but revisions help.
