well, he knows his****. The only problem is, he knows it so well that he forgets that he's explaining it to people who aren't as math savy as he is. But he has no problem go over anything twice (or more). The tests are easy, you even get a practice test with answers. the only grades are tests though. He loves to say "Any questions?"

Professor Boulware is a sweet professor who truly cares about student success. He is very fair. Differential equations has four tests and a final, lowest score dropped. Not much extra credit besides the math league test and math awareness week, but if you do the homework you won't need any. Tests are straight from the homework. Great class!

DO NOT take this class. The amount of homework is insane, he does not use MathLab either so everything is out of the textbook, he does not collect hw. Make sure you have the book on the first day because he assigns around 200 problems on the first day of class. Your whole grade is based on 5 tests. The practice test are NOTHING like the actual test

I hate math and because of that i struggle to do well he assigns a lot of hw but doesn't collect it. Grade is only 5 out of 6 tests so there's no buffer with quizzes/attendance. Do the hw and bring in questions. He's a nice and caring prof but I wish there was more incentive to do hw. also practice tests are not always like the tests...

This class was so easy. But not easy if you were dumb and didnt be take college alg first. He does 6 tests (one being final) and he drops the lowest, meaning you can skip the final if you do well enough. EC by going to math lab 5 points 1 point per hour. Practice tests that are very similar to the test.

Really nice professor who really knows how to teach. If you're taking Calc 1 this semester, I'd definitely recommend him. If someone ever had a question in class he was very respectful and always willing to explain in more detail / show an example. Do make sure to stay on top of the homework; it can get a bit overwhelming if you start to slack.

He gives out test review packets 2 lectures before the test that help a lot on the tests. The material is easy and the work load is justifiable for the class.

Super great guy, has a very clear passion for the subject. His grading is very fair and all the tough stuff is HW; the tests are much easier and have EC. He's fairly fast-paced in his lectures but thorough, so you never see anything that hasn't already been gone over. Was always open to in-class discussions and stayed after class sometimes too.

Prof B actually cares about you learning and is so nice. I had him for live online. HW was technically due at the end of the semester and used MyMathLab which let you have unlimited attempts. HW and tests can be challenging, but he let my class have two attempts to take tests. Which was so helpful. Test are lockdown with webcam. 100% recommend!

Don't listen to the previous review he's actually an amazing teacher and very good at what he does. There are five tests plus homework. While he doesn't drop the lowest test, he allows you to make up missed questions for full credit. No surprises just study the practice tests.

Professor Boulware is a good and kind professor. If I'm being honest I barely passed his class. FOR me he moves very fast, we had 6 test with A lot of homework and tons of notes, I didn't realize how many people actually dropped his class since being there in the beginning. What honestly made me pass was the test he dropped for my class at the end.

He is very caring and genuinely wants you to succeed. Some people have mentioned that he is fast-paced and while that is truth, I find that that teaching style works really well for him as he explains clearly and has the time to go through all the material while providing us for enough time to study for each test.
