If u wanna learn english and math at the same time this is the class for you. He spends a great deal of time writing on the board rather than going over the math problems. He's hard to understand but he's willing to help u out, bottom line nice person, not good cal professor.

This teacher is a SAVING GRACE for Tech. Sometimes, teachers do too much hand holding and don't sufficiently challenge students - and so they go out into the REAL world unprepared. Dr. Katz achieves a great balance. Do you have to work REALLY hard? YES... but he's extremely fair, very clear and thorough, and will do everything in his power to help.

This professor is one of the best together with Prof. Reitz. I so glad that he is teaching here at City Tech. You need to work really hard in his class, but it is not impossible to get A. He really understands what he is teaching unlike some others. If you email him with a question, he will reply sooner that what you expect, in some case instant.

Well i personally love this professor. smartest i have had. inspires me to be better and really learn. Explains very well. quiz for every topic he finishes, it helps u keep studying. 3 exams which are very challenging but if u do pass u feel awesomely smart. professor believes in Improvement if u pass the final he wil look @ wat u achieved, i Got A

If u like d ez A's hes not 4 u. THis Prof is a real challenge. But he believes in improvement if u do bad n d tests but improve towards d end meaning u can do things u couldnt b4 he will judge u on ur improvement. Gr8 prof. I got 32 , and 68 in 2 of the 3 exams i got B- cause he saw improvement n mistakes were always minor but d concept was there

He is really good teacher.He will give us 3 exams and one final.NO HOMEWORK required. He would give us many quiz + assignment and took the highest 10. Quiz has only one question. Very easy.Many 10-15 ppl drops his class after midterm which they just dont pay effort on the class. I got 89 and 90 on his exams. final I got above 90. I got A

i had him for 1475,he gave 3 exams and 1 final. He is very helpful and only counts the best 2 of the 3 exams for the grade,yet and the final. i think that he is a pretty smart math teacher and hopes to see the best of his students. recommend to take him for 1475

he is a great professor, and yet smart. you will learn a lot of math stuff from him and remember that don't be afraid of asking him questions. he is quite helpful and pleased to explain and answer your questions. i got a A in his calculus.

Not for lazy students. Have to put in work to get A. Had him for 3 courses and always happy. U'll learn a lot, great prof, admirably smart and organized. Writes all he says, very easy to refer back n study. Believes in progress so u can get a good grade ever after not doing good in exams if you get it in the final.Highly recomended for good student

Great Professor very helpful and understandable. Not a free A.

heard alota bad things about this guy from underachieving students so decided to take his Math of Finance Class even though it was not in my major just to see if he was as bad as they say. It's quite the opposite. He is very helpful,clear,writes alot, and his exams are all fair. I expect an A!!

I'll be frank, his class is no walk in the park but if you do his hw you have a goo chance of passing. But he's very helpful and gives alot of extra credit

He is the best professor ever for calculus! He is extremely helpful but students just fear to approach him. He is very kind, just because he's geeky, students think he is unapproachable. He explains every step, he gives notes which are so helpful when you do revision. Do your homework to grasp the concepts clearly.

He gives quizzes every week, very helpful for grasping concepts. pay attention and post questions on blackboard, he'll answer at all times even after 9pm! He's the kind of guy who teaches you how to apply math in everyday life, you'll learn a lot in his class. Trust me, yo sure to pass the finals! he'll be back after a year though! I miss him!!!!

Although he is rigorous, he is very fair and will take the time to ensure students understand the material if they ask questions. I felt that he gave me a solid foundation in calculus helping me immensely in higher math and engineering courses. You will work hard in his class, but it will benefit you in the long run. Highly recommended.

Prof. Katz will go over the honmework if students have question and will take as much time needed for that. He does not collect homework and gives a 1 question quiz at the beginning of each class based on the previous class. If you pay attention and give some effort you will do really well in his class.

Prof. Katz is a kind of person who will do derivative of x^2+5x in class but put find derivative of arctan(x/2) on exam, not only that if you want to take his class make sure you know derivatives and integrals of arcsin, arctan, arccos, he likes playing with students mind, and keeps his standards as harvard, columbia and nyu poly... class was fun.

Pro.Katz who is a very kind person, if you pay attention in his class. I think to pass the class is not a hard thing. and he explain the queations in a very clear and understandable way.

He is the most helpful prof I ever met. He is there 24/7 to help with any problems. Even on blackboard. I withdrew from the class but it's because of the material, I'm just bad at math. Maybe it could also be I didn't understand how he explained things but I have nothing against him. He is great for any adept math student.

I passed the course but I am not happy with the grade. He is a great professor but he makes his tests harder than the department final.

He is very nice, doesn't grade hw and test are okay. The only problem is that he don't know when to stop going over hw questions, he just keep answering them and basically took the whole period going over hw question and spending the last 10 minute teaching new topics.

Horrible teacher. He be writing all over the place trying to find an answer. He always wants us to guess answers. He doesn't make it easy for the students with the way he writes things down. He gives quizzes every week. The tests are hard. He's a good guy but his teaching is bad

Smart dude, nice professor. Kind of hard grader but helped me out and I was soooo happy I past. Best math prof. I've had, more patient than the others

- Awesome professor. - Sit in the front of the class if you want to do well. - Go up to the board when you have the chance. - If you notice you're falling behind, go to him immediately or get a tutor. - Make sure you're good at trig and algebra before you take his CALC I class. You're supposed to be good at them.

This professor really cares whether you learn or not. He offers so much help and always answers your questions and explains things as many times till you understand. This professor makes math enjoyable and made cal 2 look easy. Yes he gives quizzes but , who doesn'. You need to read the chapters before coming to class to have a better undertsanding

Very nice professor, always available if you need help, and willing to help. Answers all questions clearly. Makes everything simple and easy to understand. Exams are tough, you have to do the homework.

Differential Equation is a hard class, so don't expect a easy time. His tests are hard and his lectures are mostly focus on Theorem. (quizs are easy) However, Prof. Katz is a very helpful professor. You really need to put efforts into the HW, HW best prepare for the tests. I got AVG 85 on test as result A- for final grade.

Katz is a dedicated professor, doesn't proceed to the next topic until all questions are answered, is accessible outside classroom, and gives a lot partial credits even if your answer is totally wrong. If you just Understand Home Works, you'll get an easy A

Be fair students ! Before taking this class, I was frightened by those comments, it turns out that his tests are easier than the department's. Everything in the tests is totally based on home works. quizzes are easy and given to support your grade. He gives partial credits. It was really nice being in his class. RECOMMENDED

This professor gives tons of quizzes, and the project is very difficult. Exams are not really difficult but this class, you don't get extra credits. I got B, but it's due to the lack of practice. Touch Grader. If you like math, take this class. If you are just a regular average student, better not to take this class with this professor!

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Prof. Katz is a wonderful teacher that gives students the reality of being a college student. Calc2 isn't supposed to be easy and it isn't for everyone, but if you study and go to his office hours he WILL HELP YOU. I went almost every day. Study everyday for this class. You'll be glad you did. Calc2 is the best Calc

If you are taking Calculus, you must take his class. He is one of the best Calculus Professor I have ever got at Citytech. I loved his class. He wants to give students an A you just have to do your part. He really helps if anyone is stuck at any steps on the test/exam. He is the best.

He is the most respected professor that I took in NYC-tech. I took Calc3 and Differential equations with him in the same semester. I had some rough times since exams and hw were due the same day, but he would always help me out. I remember he stayed with me for extra hours to explain my questions. He is a very kind professor and be honest with him.

I can't believe Prof.Katz is rated this low after taking his course. He is what a college professor should be like. He teaches and explains to you any problems you have. You just need to work on the HW he assigns and it's easy A on his exams and quiz. I can guarantee the people that gave low review does not study the work he assigned.

Very knowledgeable

Neil Katz is the one of the best professors at City Tech. Lectures are insightful and offer a different view on the subject, as opposed to just doing practice problems the entire time. I was able to understand the why behind many of the topics which I found to be very useful. Calc 3 isn't supposed to be easy, do the hw and ask questions.

Professor Katz is an excellent instructor. The material covered in the differential equations course is notably challenging compared to other math courses; however, he consistently provided valuable feedback and was available to assist with homework questions. His support was helpful in maintaining my motivation in succeeding in the course.

I loved Dr Katz's class. He is an amazing teacher who made every topic understandable. He makes complicated things simple and easy to understand. I would recommend any body who loves Math to take any of his classes.

professor katz was a godsend for calc 3. he always explained everything so in depth, so for those students who like to know the "why" behind concepts, he's your guy. also he was so caring, especially in office hours. he spent many a session patiently explaining things to my slow self. take this professor if you really want to understand calculus!

This professor is tough. He makes it clear that the higher level math classes are difficult and that just comes from the material. He does an incredible job in supporting and encouraging you to improve. He grades fairly, his HW doesnt count but is great practice to pass his quizzes.Thats to say, all you have to do is stay consistent and youll pass.

Hi, I am currently taking his class this semester, and as an average math student who genuinely tries, I can say he is an excellent professor who teaches clearly, supports his students, grades with fairness, rewards real effort, stays accessible outside class, and truly wants everyone to learn and succeed.
