Clark was a good teacher, although classes were sometimes boring they were tolerable (its math petes sake) I have always struggled in math but he took the time out and helped. If wasnt ready for the test he allowed me more time. Great teacher as long as you do what you gotta do youll pace.

TAKE HIM!!! He's one of the best Calculus teachers I have ever had! When he teaches his class, you can see he knows what he is doing. He always goes through theory, which is a vital necessity (especially in mathematics), and is willing to help you whenever you need it. His tests are on the easy side & his quizes come straight from the homework.

To all those going into teaching: take the basic skills test seriously the first time! Class can feel slow. He is almost always at least 10 minutes late. He expects you to take notes and when the test comes, you are specific with your answers or you will be docked points. But he's still the teacher you want!

Professor Clark sets crystal clear expectations for the class criteria, efficiently prepares students for the test material, and simplifies challenging calculus principles in a manner for which students could simply learn and comprehend. Professor Clark is a compassionate, overwhelmingly sharp and brilliant, and incredibly organized individual.

Best calculus professor Ive ever had! There are no homework assignments that are due, but still gives homework to practice the material. Quizzes every week that are consisted of 2 questions from the actual homework! You do the homework, you get an A on the quizzes! No surprise questions on exams, questions are just like the material covered!

He's a great professor who actually cares about his student's academic performance. Very intelligent, yet he is humble and helps break things down to a level that is easier for the student to understand. Hard-working professor and resilient, especially in tough times such as the Spring 2020 semester.

Took him for Calc II over the Summer. I was so scared it would be difficult, and although it was a tough class, he made it manageable. I wish I could have him for all my math classes because he breaks down EVERYTHING and truly cares about his students. He is inspiring and also a hard worker; would stay overtime to help students in problem sessions.

I loved having Prof Clark for Calc 2. He is very accessible and is very great at explaining complex topics by breaking them down step by step so they make sense. Exams are very similar to the materials given in class for HW, Quizzes, and other practice. I wish I could take him for Calc 3 but he won't be teaching it next semester :( 10/10 professor

He posts a video for each topic of him thoroughly going through everything. Either way, Calc 2 is not an easy class so make sure you give it your best.

Professor Clark is by far the best math professor I have had since beginning college courses. He is EXTREMELY thorough and takes time during lecture to review topics. He does not just assume the student remembers everything they've learned up to his class. His exams are fair and you will be set up for success if you attend lecture & do homework.

He will teach you everything you need to know for this class and takes his time breaking down everything. He goes through the material just enough in dept so you understand everything you need to but not so much that it's useless information at that point. Tough grader, yes. But you'll learn everything you need to know to do whatever he gives you.

The grade is made out of quizzes (problems picked from HW) and exams (with additional practice offered). Put in the work, attend his office hours and you're golden. Wish I could take him for Calc 3!

Make sure you do any extra credit if he offers it. I really enjoyed the class!

Professor Clark is a great teacher and really knows his stuff. His tests are reasonable for the course load, only containing around 10-12 questions per test.
