People may say Prof. Teitloff is a hard teacher, but it's mainly just a hard class. His homework was actually very helpful in understanding the concepts. His lectures can very easy to zone out in (especially if online), but he's probably one of the best options for Calc 3.

He is an OK professor, not bad, not good. I am currently in MATH 2060 with him and have found that I'm doing better without attending the lectures. He reads lecture notes word for word. I asked for him to post notes on canvas ahead of time and he did it without need for convincing, so he clearly cares about his students. He does grade harshly.

Teitloff is one of the worst professors I've ever had. He is super hard to understand in class, and it feels like he couldn't care less about the class. He doesn't explain things very well, he takes 2 hours to explain something that should only take 15 minutes, and the he isn't helpful outside of the classroom. DO NOT TAKE TEITLOFF.

Dr. Teitloff is an okay option for MATH2060. Non-mandatory attendance but his lectures in person are better than zoom. Tests are large % of grade but he does provide some practice problems & past exams. Most of the exams q's are nothing like the practice so be ready to teach yourself and find hours of practice questions on youtube.

Absolutely, Dr. Teitloff was an amazing professor. No matter your comfort level with math, this class has a good balance of material and challenge. Each class period, he was engaged, organized, and his teaching was clear. Beyond this, he is always accommodating, helpful, and accessible. It'd be hard to find a better professor for Math 2060.

Lectures are slow and not engaging. He does post notes though which is great. The course is really well organized. In-class graded learning activities, and 2 quizzes per week. Teaches new material up to the day before exams. He does explain things well, and is extremely accessible/ helpful outside of class. Nice guy, but super stingy with points

He would write out notes as he was lecturing and post them after class. He would also give us old notes, old practice problems, old quizzes, and old exams to use to study.

The Learning Activities that are posted are super helpful for each lesson that is covered. Exams are relatively tougher because of a smaller time constraint. Overall, a great professor.

Teitloff is a pretty good professor for Calc 3. The old quizzes and exams he provides are super helpful and are basically the same as the actual exams given. Be meticulous about writing your steps on quizzes and exams, he is kind of a tough grader. You can talk through your approach with him and get points back most times though.
