Prof Friedman was the best ever! He taught me so much, but more than that, he told me I could do the math course i was in when i thought i couldn't.

made me think. I'm a better student for it.

He sometimes smiles and laughs at students who make mistakes. I enjoyed his jokes.

One of the best teachers i have ever had.

Great teacher...makes material understandable, very approachable.

Lots of (relevant) work, but I've learned more math in these 10 weeks than in the last year. Prof also shows how to think about how to start a proof. Good stuff.

you can learn a lot from his class and he is very helpful tooo.

He proved to me that I could do this class. Most work i've ever done to succeded in this class, went to office hours every day, spent way too much time on calc. But I didn't think I could do it and he showed me I could. Great professor, a little pretentious and sometimes seems like an ass, but he does care if you show that you care

Great Professor. Explains stuff really clear. But has to be prepared in his class. One of the best math professor I have ever had, really learning a lot from his class. He really cares about his students. If you really interest in math, take his class.

good professor. huge emphasis on homework which is the key to his class.

The best math teacher I have had so far in math courses at Union. Very clear and concise. Very thorough. And his tests are extremely fair; I would go as far as to say he is very lenient on grading but I won't complain. He is very organized and keeps you organized as well. Read the textbook and do the homework and you are fine.

Best math professor I've ever had - easy to understand, extremely willing to help as long as your willing to show a little effort.

Good teacher, but extremely demanding.

He's intimidating at first, but as long as you come to class, do the HW, and even the reading while putting an obvious effort into all of it, you'll be fine. He'll make sure you understand the material very well so you can do well on the hard exams, which he actually grades fairly leniently. Nice once you get to know him and you learn a lot.

Most challenging prof I've had at Union. That said, he challenged me to a point where I was forced to do the homework and attend every class--and PAY ATTENTION. I took more from this course than any other at Union thus far, and Friedman is the reason for that. He is very hard but an awesome teacher. He is NOT an unfair grader if you do the work.

Very demanding class, but if you put in the effort and go to office hours, you'll def do better. Taught me how to LEARN. fantastic professor. wish we had a textbook though, bc course is tough. Really overall a great prof though, hard grader though but I matured as a learner

DIFFICULT CLASS for 1st time freshman. Tons of critical thinking with the way he explains. Make sure you have taken AP Calc before you take the 113 class because it will def help you. hes kind of arrogant in class but hes helpful in office hours, its easier if you go with a friend to office hours

Professor Friedman will challenge you past your boundaries. While he is difficult, it is how a college level course should be. He makes you think beyond the answer into why each sentence of your proof flows and makes sense. Those who want to learn, grow, and be challenged should definitely take a course with him.

Mr. Friedman is a fantastitc teacher. He does assign a lot of homework but for my class it usually wasn't checked so it was mostly there to use to understand the material better. He's great with office hours and being available to help and not making you feel stupid for asking questions. Hard work but reasonable.

Tough class all together, but if you work for it and go see Paul for extra help, it will be doable! He is clear in his notes and will explain any concept until you can understand it. Had the most well thought out lesson plans of any teacher.

He is a great professor who is willing to answer questions and clarify further concepts. He assigns homework but lets you know in advance when he will check/collect it. Very straight forward with his grading criteria. Study before quizzes or tests and youll be fine.

Prof. Friedman is an inspirational, albeit difficult, educator. He works hard to ensure he's doing everything possible to facilitate your learning - and he expects you to do the same for yourself. Put in the hours outside of class, and reach out to him when you need help (responds to emails quickly, and occasionally offers extensions). A great guy.

Great professor! He explains things thoroughly and clearly, I was always able to understand and keep up with the notes.

Great professor! He explains things thoroughly and clearly, I was always able to understand and keep up with the notes. He is a very fair grader (definitely not as tough as the teachers I had in high school) If you do the work you will do well.

Paul Friedman is very knowledgeable, articulate, and genuinely cared about how well his students do. I was in his class for 110 and 112. His review sessions and homework are extremely valuable. I would recommend his class to anyone.

Prof. Friedman is a passionate professor. He is always willing to explain topics again if need be (although not always during class, but always at office hours). A professor that really cares!

Calc 1 was pretty rough for me I had alot of wholes in my knowledge of calculus, I was very worried going into calc 2 however I quickly found it to be my favorite class. Professor Friedman is passionate about his teaching and it shows that he really cares how well he portrays the material. While the class is hard, if you put in the work its worthit

Professor Friedman is a man who loves math and he is really good at it. I really enjoyed the lectures. The only thing that disappoints me is that he has the attitude of the ''I know everything'' guy. He thinks he knows everything and he is picking on you when you are not that specific for an answer. Not good feedback for exams.

Lectures are brilliant, he gives them almost in a way that is like a story and it definitely helps to keep me engaged during class. I've often gone to class early to ask questions and he has always been open to answering the. Weekly review sessions are held and extremely beneficial.

Friedman is the best math professor youll ever get. So passionate about teaching math. He breaks down the steps for solving stuff and explains why every step works so you actually know the point of the math your working on and that just makes it so much easier to understand.

Paul is the best math teacher at Union. He gives a lot of homework but it is optional. If you don't do the HW you will not pass but you don't necessarily need to do it all. He is a genius and hates dumb questions but his style of teaching is better than the other professors. Extra help sessions are always before any quizzes or exams. Worth Taking

Professor Friedman is a very smart man, who knows his subject in and out. He was understanding and tries to help students if they ask for it. Do not skip class, as that is a surefire way to fail. He gives clear and concise feedback on tests.

Professor Friedman is a fantastic lecturer and as long as you go to class you'll succeed. He hates when people ask questions that show they haven't done the homework or read the textbook. If you make a good effort to try to figure something out he'll be very accommodating in office hours.

His expectations are challenging but clear. Participation and focus in class work wonders.

I love paul his lectures are super engaging and informative and he goes at a good pacs

Classes are clear and easy to follow. He does sound like he has impossible expectations for students in exams and quizzes, always stating how surprised he is when many people get some common mistakes wrong, but overall a nice person. Make sure that you know the materials well and you'll be fine.
