Such a good professor. All of his lectures are clear and easy to understand. He does a good job of doing practice problems from the homework in class to give you a jump start of the exercises. The majority of the class bombed the first test, so he made the rest of the tests directly from hw problems- which was very helpful. Great guy- enthusiastic.

Amdeberhan is a really nice guy and extremely helpful. He really takes the time to make sure students understand the subject matter.

Amazing professor, made going to calc fun. I think everyone in the class loved him and he was pretty generous with grades. Possibly the best professor i've ever had, really explained the material well and made calc feel relatively easy. TAKE HIM

I don't think a student could ask for a better professor than Amdeberhan. His classes are actually fun. He knew each student in his class by name after a short time. Also, he is clearly a genius. He prepared the class well for the departmental final.

He is a sweetheart! He's always smiling and in a good mood, which makes Calc rather pleasant. He's really passionate and very knowledgeable...Always available for extra help, and he's a sucker for those who work hard and are still struggling. He'll do everthing he can to keep your grade up. You'll LOVE him!

Amdeberhan is such a nice guy! He is always smiling and willing to help. The class is pretty difficult, but that is the subject matter not the professor. He tries to help out as much as possible with tests if the class is struggling. Final is worth most of the grade. I reccomend.

best professor i've ever had! taking his class next semester too.

He's very nice and very helpful if you need extra help or anything. Sometimes he's a little hard to follow, but he's an easy grader.

Best math teacher-ever. He is so friendly and nice and just wants you to be interested. His tests are STRAIGHT out of the homework or the example problems in the book. He is ALWAYS willing to meet you after class for help. Big mistake not to take his class!!

Professor Amdeberhan is the sweetest ever, and he's quite the genius. He's always willing to clarify anything you may not understand... there are weekly homework assignments which he doesn't take up, but the weekly quizzes come from the homework problems so do them! Two "midterm exams", one type of each problem (usually straight from the homework).

He is a fantastic professor. He is the best math professor teaching at Tulane. If you need to take a math class, then take it just with him. Do the homework, and you'll do fine. He's articulate, clearly far more intelligent than the material, and really understands what it is and what it means to profess. He really goes out of his way to help you understand the material.

Prof. Amdeberhan (calc 116) is s fantastic teacher! He genuinely cares that his students do well. grades very fairly, optional tests if necessary, knows his students names. Attendance is mandatory but class is not painful at all! He is my favorite teacher at Tulane.

Awesome teacher. Take him if you're having trouble with calculus. He'll help you with whatever you need help with. Funny too. Be careful on his quizzes though; they can be tricky but overall an easy class

Tewodros is a mathematical genius. He is very fair and loves what he does, which counts for a lot. If you have a knack for math, I suggest you take this class. Otherwise, he may go over your head.

Tewodros is a fantastic professor! He explains things very clearly, and makes sure everyone understands before going on. Go to class. Tests are from examples he does in class, and sometimes he gives pop quizzes for bonus. Also, he has a great sense of humor and is hilarious. In short: Dr. A. makes Calculus fun and easy, and Calc is NOT fun OR easy.

I would probably say, he's the best teacher I've had so far at Tulane. He simplifies the information and ensures that you understand the material. He encourages questions and makes you feel like no question is a dumb question. He's a wonderful teacher, but it doesn't mean this class is an easy A. You still have to do your part and study hard.

Without a doubt the BEST calculus professor at Tulane. He's very friendly during office hours and if he knows that you're trying he will always help you. He organizes his lectures by sections in the book which makes it easy to review for tests. If he feels that he hasn't explained something well enough, it won't show up on tests. TAKE HIM!

Great Teacher!

SO NICE! And funny, too. He does his best to make material easy, and cuts students breaks a lot. He's a really good guy and as someone who hates math, I can kind of stand this class, which says a lot. Take Amdeberhan for sure!

Prof. Amdeberhan is so sweet! He really loves it when people come to class, and sometimes gives extra credit if only a few people show up. The class isn't super easy, but he is more than willing to help you! I would definitely recommend taking him if you have to take calculus.

Professor Amdeberhan is a genuinely caring and kind hearted teacher. He is hilarious, happy, and, most of all, great at teaching. The general class format is: a weekly quiz and homework assignment over two sections (very easy), two tests that are composed of very simple non-MC questions and two free response questions, and finally the final exam.

He is one of the sweetest people I have ever met! His class is a little difficult if you haven't taken calc before, but he is always willing to help and tries to make jokes. He gives extra credit options often. Take him if you are taking calc!

He's friendly, funny, and helpful. Calc is gonna be hard with whoever you take it so yeah. He's big on class attendance and not talking during the lecture. aka he will call you out on it. The TA is kinda bad in the beginning but she gets better

I took AP calc and got a 4 which would suggest that I have a firm grasp on calc but I ended up with a B+ in the class. So... yeah it's not too easy.

Brilliant Ethiopian man with an easy accent to understand. Class attendance is mandatory and you literally will not pass if you skip class because he docks points. Homework assignments are lengthy and quizzes and tests are hard. He also makes his class very competitive.

If you didn't take Calc in high school, this class is really hard. The averages were really low on all the tests and quizzes and he tried to help us out by giving us a take-home retake of a test, but the homeworks are really long and the tests pick the hardest possible problems from the lectures. Attendance is mandatory. Pick an easier teacher...

He was the most dedicated teacher I had this semester--he recognised me outside of class and would ask my opinion on the last test/quiz. The class is hard if you have yet to take calculus in high school, but otherwise alright. He randomly takes attendance and you lose extra credit and points after two absences, which I find annoying. I got a low A.

He is very helpful and truly loves what he's doing. One of the best math professors I've had. Really wants the students to succeed. The material is hard but he's always willing to help.

Professor Amdeberhan was my favorite. He actually knows what he is teaching and he wants all of his students to do well. If you show up to class, he will reward you with extra credit a lot of the time. The material is a little hard but he does a good job teaching it and trying to get you to understand it.

It is a tough class, but he wants everyone to succeed. If students aren't doing well, he'll offer extra credit. Very nice man, best calc professor.

I loved having him for calc 1. His main goal is to have everyone show up so if you come to class he will do everything he can to help you get an A. Just doing your homework and listening is the ticket to a good grade. He's also hilarious and definitely of all the calc 1 teachers he is the best at teaching the information

Teddy is super inspirational. Not a single lecture is boring because he is extremely enthusiastic about the work he brings to the class. Very funny guy and makes calculus a piece of cake even if you've never taken it (like me). You will definitely need to study for exams. There are only 2 exams and a final, & quizes and hw is mandatory every week.

Lectures for whole class, but very engaging. His tests and quizzes are not easy, but are fair. He will randomly offer extra credit for simply showing up to class. Wants students to succeed.

Great guy who genuinely wants to see his students do well. He rewards hard work and showing up for class. Professor Amdeberhan learns almost everyone's name and is funny as well as engaging. His tests are tough though and it is a difficult class if you have not taken Calculous before.

The only worthwhile option for first level Calculus at Tulane. Clear lectures. If you do the homework you'll know what's going on. Two midterms and a very long cumulative final with a huge curve. Very helpful @ office hours and a great guy in general. I'll never forget when he knew my name on the second day of class before I'd said a word to him.

Great professor who goes out of his way to help you

Teddy is the man. All semester all I heard was people complaining about their Calc teachers, but tewodros was fantastic. The weekly quizzes were always simple and helped you keep up the information so by the time of the exams, you weren't completely lost. He's super funny and extremely helpful at office hours.

Great teacher for calc that will help anyway he can. Upbeat lectures and clear teachings of concepts.

Honestly he is the best option for calc undoubtedly, the whole math department here is totally messed up, in general. He really does a good job explaining the material & is available for help when you need it. He's very friendly as well, I just wish the tests were a bit more reflective of the work done in class.

He's the head of the math department. He once said, "I care if you care. I will make an effort to help those that come to class, but if you don't care enough to show up, why should I care for your grade." Show up and he'll learn your name and give a damn about you. I'd highly recommend him.

Dr. Amdeberhan is dedicated, caring and engaging but demanding of consistent effort, pushing us for solid knowledge not just a pass-grade. The problems appear creative than the traditional calculus courses. We learned Maple, a math computer tool for classroom-based assignments working with a classmate. Certainly one of the best in the department.

Professor Ambdeberhan is truly amazing. He is very demanding, and that's a good thing, because I really learned the material.

good teacher

Throughout his amazing lectures Teddy lets you know that he loves math and loves his students. He was enthusiastic and sprinkled in lighthearted jokes throughout to make a somewhat dry material interesting. Gives extra credit and "just for fun" examples that make you want to be a math major.

Honestly my favorite math teacher I have ever had. His lectures are fun and understandable and he is very available outside of class.

Great teacher but a decent amount of work is needed to both understand and grasp the info. Need to go to office hours even though sometimes he has an awful passive aggressive attitude. Overall good guy and great class. He describes the info a way that a non math major can actually understand. Gives extra credits and definitely wants you to pass!

The professor makes the class challenging, but if you come to class, do homework, and pay attention you will do just fine. Take advantage of office hours, he is a very fair teacher if he sees you care about the class!

Teddy is great! Makes every class super funny and really tries to get you to understand the concepts so you can do well. Best teacher for consolidated calculus by far.

He is a very good teacher and the lectures are very entertaining. It is a very tough class, however, but if he was not the teacher, i would be doing a lot worse.

Teddy was a phenomenal professor! He is quite funny with enjoyable lectures and great examples. It is a difficult course by nature, but he is always willing to talk to students at his office hours, and you can tell that he truly does care about the success of his students. Very few bonus points here and there, but did curve this semester.

The king! Loved his class, thoroughly engaging and is very helpful when you visit him during office hours. Definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Teddy is super passionate about math and his class. I took him for honors calc 3 and our tests were very difficult. He didn't curve tests but he gave a grade bump at the end and our class average was much higher than the others on the final. Overall this class is a lot of work but if he likes you and you work hard you can do well.

He really makes the class interesting and easy to learn. Hes very patient during office hours.

I loved Prof Amdeberhan he made me love math even more. He explains things super well and cares a lot about his students. he brings a lot of energy and is really fun this class was super fun highly recommend .

This was the hardest class I have ever taken but it is not because of Amdeberham. He is good at teaching but he is strict on attendance, does not believe in curves, and makes you work so hard for every bit of extra credit. Values class participation at all times so introverted people beware he will call you out, especially in the small classes.

He is amazing! Dr. Amdeberhan is very passionate, explains things very clearly, and is very patient during office hours. He's wonderful and the best math professor I've ever had! The class is hard but if you do your homework you'll be okay.

This man is amazing. So smart, but also insanely patient and very helpful. I loved his lectures, they were engaging and his examples are important! As long as you do the homework, quizzes and tests won't be too bad.

Dr. Amdeberhan, or Teddy, is truly one of the best professors I've ever had. I have had him for Calculus, and now Intro to Real Analysis. He consistently guides his students through concepts, ensuring that the whole class understands. While at first he may seem like a tough teacher, it is because he GURANTEES that everyone succeeds.

Professor Amdeberhan is hands down a phenomenal teacher. He is tough on things like attendance because he wants students to do their best. His lectures are as good as they could get. He is very enthusiastic about students that show ambition and curiosity. I would recommend taking his class at any opportunity you can.

Professor Amdeberhan is the best professor I have ever had. He explains things extremely clearly and homework lines up well with quizzes and exams. He is incredibly kind and genuinely cares that everybody understands and passes. Highly highly recommend!

Professor Amdeberhan is my favorite professor. He genuinely cares about his students and really wants them all to do well. He is such a kind man and puts his students first, taking from his own time to help more. He takes frequent participation and effort into consideration when posting final grades so participate and try to do well, hell notice.

This man is the absolute goat. My best math teacher by far. He explains everything so clearly and if you have a question then he will answer. If you participate he gives out extra credit points very liberally. Do you homework even though its optional and you will be fine on the quizzes

Dr. Amdeberhan was my professor for differential equations during COVID and is the best professor I've taken at TU. Teddy is extremely personable/caring and is a phenomenal lecturer. The class is test heavy but his lectures material is very clear and he is extremely approachable.

Professor Amdeberhan is excellent. He does a really good job explaining concepts and working through them slowly/building up to the conclusions in a comprehensible way. He really expects attendance, so be ready to come to every class--he will drop you from the course if you don't show up but you will also get extra credit for attendance.

Teddy was a great professor and would often give out extra credit on days he randomly took attendance, which boosted my overall grade a few percentage points. He goes over a lot of example problems in class and most of the problems that are on the test he pulls from class, so take good notes!

I literally love Teddy, if you have the option to take him DO IT. He really cares for his students and is extremely passionate. He goes through a lot of examples and only covers relevant information, all he wants is participation. He gives out extra credit just for showing up and is really accessible in office hours (gives points back if you ask)

He is genuinely the nicest professor I have had at Tulane. the class can be difficult yet he puts his all into making lectures interesting and engaging. He does take attendance but I wouldn't recommend missing regardless. If you want a teacher that will care about you and ask you how you are doing after a test in a big class then take him

Professor Amdeberhan is the BEST professor that teaches calculus! He is always energetic and makes calculus a fun course for us. Do not be afraid to go to his office hours. He is patient with every question that you ask! He sometimes gives out extra credits for attendance or review sessions. He also posts practice exams, and the exams are easy!

In a not so great math department, Teddy is your best bet. He is energetic and really wants his students to learn the content. Teddy gives out extra credit randomly for attendance or answering questions. He tries to learn everyones name and actually teaches so I would take if you need to take 1210 pick Teddy.

In a math department where many of the professors suck, the chance to take Dr. Amdeberhan is one you shouldn't pass up. Teddy is a great teacher, he explains the concepts well and gives examples. He is very passionate about what he teaches and wants to share his love of calculus with his students. He randomly takes attendance so don't miss class.

loved taking calc 2 with professor Teddy. He is very passionate about the subject and loves when students participate. the material is hard, but as is calc 2. 100% would take his class again

You need to go to class. It's a fast paced class but he's very nice, very helpful, very interested in student success. Lot of talking in class, he makes the class participate but it helps the information sink in.

He is a great choice for Calculus! Was very engaging and made everyone participate, but he was also very helpful if you asked questions. Class was fast paced but so is every class over the summer. He lectured every class but explained the material thoroughly in a way that was easy to understand.

Took this class over the summer and had the best experience with him. I have never come across a more passionate and enthusiastic professor. Cares about students understanding the material and curves very well. I think taking this class over the summer is a great idea.

Teddy is by far the best professor I have had at Tulane. Differential equations is a tough course, however, he made the content clear and understandable. I was in his course during COVID and he was incredibly accommodating and accessible. He is truly a kind and caring professor that really wants his students to succeed,

He is the nicest professor I think I have ever met. Teddy is very accessible and is clearly passionate about what he studies and his students. I definitely would take a class with him in the future! He is very good about partial credit and will let students redo test questions for some extra points. His lectures are very well organized as well!

I wish nothing but the absolute best for this professor. He is so kind and respectful to everyone in the class and isn't mean if you don't know the answer. He wants everyone to succeed and breaks up the difficult topics into simple terms to be understand by anyone. Just participate - its not hard and you get extra points. Take his class!!!!

Awesome teacher with really great lectures. He also gives extra credit for the midterms for attendance sometimes which is really nice. The course is tough but hes really easy to access outside the classroom.

Teddy was an AMAZING professor, probably my favorite at Tulane. He was very engaging, even though it was a 9am class. Teddy always did his best to make sure we understood topics and always went slow if we needed him to. His tests are very fair, just make sure to study and participate and you will do great. Take him if you can, best prof in math dep

Professor Teddy was a kind and caring teacher who made lectures enjoyable and fun. He gave out attendance extra midterm points a few times for attendance, but took points away if you missed days. Attend every class! I liked his lectures, but the tests were tough, and he wasn't very helpful during office hours. He cares a lot about participation!

go to class - he will curve exams and give extra credit points but only for the people in class that day, tests are HARD but they get easier once you realize its just verbatim the textbook examples, his lectures are amazing and so engaging, he also loves participation, go to office hours, he takes care of your grade in the end

Teddy is an amazing professor, and he's obviously very enthusiastic about what he's teaching. He brought so much energy to lectures and made them very engaging. With that being said, he can be very strict about certain things such as attendance or grading. His tests in this class aren't hard per se but can be very tricky

Teddy is a passionate and engaging professor who makes Calculus more enjoyable. While the lectures can be fast-paced, he explains concepts clearly. Attending class is a must. Unstuck AI and the free textbook were helpful study tools alongside the course material.

Good teacher, hard class. Your entire grade is tests. Do the homework and go to class if you want a chance at understanding.

Good teacher if you want to learn. Tests are usually questions straight out the homework/quizzes/textbook. Attendance is technically not required, but he tends to give bonus points for the test (which he doesn't curve) on days when attendance is low. Also, he will straight up increase your grade if he likes you, so at least try to participate..

Teddy is the GOAT! Attendance in this class isn't mandatory, but you'll want to show up and participate because 1: he makes his class pretty fun, and 2: he'll give out extra credit to everyone in class when he feels like it. Exams are a breeze if you study. Would always recommend taking a class if he's the prof.

Teddy is an exceptional professor who is good at explaining topics. He's very old-school and doesn't respond to email often. The quizzes are a joke, and the tests are very easy (verbatim quiz/textbook questions but he can be a hard grader. However, he rewards attendance with extra credit points for the midterms.

As a harder subject, Teddy does ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of the curriculum. Extra credit is given to students who show up to class, and he encourages a lot of participation. Overall, he's a pretty alright professor. I wish he went into more of the concepts, but the tests are graded SUPER easy.

Teddy genuinely cares about his students. One of the best math professors at Tulane. Make sure you participate in class and SHOW UP-he gives bonus points for attendance. A con is that he doesn't reply to email and his lectures aren't always clear, especially for chapter 14. Other than that, I absolutely loved him as a professor and the class!

Very chill professor, do not be afraid of him. Show up to class, since he gives extra points for being there. Lectures can be slow at times, but stay focused. Tests are not too bad, just use the textbook's problems to prepare.
