yeah...he's cool the first year...BUT once you take a second course with him you'll notice that his method of teaching is basically right off the book...you can take 15 min and read the chapter or waste 2 hours in class...his jokes are funny the first time but he repeats them over and over...i stopped going to class...became bored by it...

Professor Dube is truly a gifted teacher that cares for his students. He will go out of his way to help you if you have any problems with the course work. Most professors should take a lesson from him on how to teach a university course.

He is an amazing prof. It's the only class i had which wasn't boring and everybody came to class because they loved it. He helps you out alot. His notes are the best which makes it easy to get A+ in the course. BEST notes ever. Make sure to take his class any course he teaches otherwise you miss out.

Great teacher, had a way of explaining things that anyone could understand. Had a unique way of keeping students interested in the class. (even though (Sorry Sam) Math is not a fun course)

Dube style: write some theories you have no deep understanding of, put 50 examples, tell lame stories, give tests and exams that are EXACTLY the same as the examples, --> A+ for everyone --> awesome reviews. Meanwhile, nobody cares that they learn nothing from his courses , or the fact that he is an engineering dropout and got his Ph.D in 2007.

Formula for success=write some notes on theories that confuse everyone and you yourself barely have a good grasp on, give LOTS of examples to alleviate confusion, tell dumb jokes about your engineering wannabe days to distract students, give tests that are EXACTLY the same as examples, everyone gets A+, be showered with praise and bask in the glory

If you can get Prof Dube as your prof, DO SO! He simplifies difficult concepts and makes calculus interesting even early in the morning. He was always available outside of class to help. His lectures are fun, yes fun, because he is clear, funny and never makes you feel dumb even if you have a simple question. Prof Dube will always be my favourite.

Funny guy, but there was really no structure to the course, although this could potentially be due to the fact that this is the first time it's being offered. Goes on rants about MMA fighting, hard to tell what's actually relevant and isn't, and lets students text him if they need to get into contact with him. It was fun.
