His lecture supplements are better than the textbook.

I didn't study for the exam and I still got an A+ because of his class. Best teacher I've ever had!

One of the best profs I've ever had. Actually cares about his students learning the material. A very easy class.
great proferssor! very clear! easy to get an A! Learned alot!

amazing prof, teaches clearly and goes out of his way to help. put on a tutoring session before the exam for 3 hours for free on his own time
If you suck at math, take a class with Korytowski, pay attention, and you'll do well. I got an A+ in the course after failing math in high school. He's one of the best professors at U of M.
The best of the best. Helpful, wonderful, and offers help after and before classes. He deserves these well earned marks
too demanding
Just one word, awesome.
If you want 100%, you can easily get it in this class. He's just the best prof ever. And so nice and funny too. Apparantly, he got quite a prestigious teaching award? I heard that somewhere.
I had this teacher for 2 different math courses so far, and as a math major I have to say that's it's refreshing to have a science prof that speaks English! He is so helpful. BEST PROF EVER.
Incredible. Makes Calculus seem like Junior high material. Very willing to help you learn and makes things very clear.
By far the best Prof. I've ever had. He really seems to care. Can be a little demanding, But he will give 100% of his effort to get you through. Does lots of after hours study seminars for the whole class. AWESOME PROF!!!
best math teacher I've ever had. Doesn't just know calculus but also knows how to teach it! He puts in a lot of extra time to make sure that a student who wants to succeed will.
The best prof. I have had by far. He seems ot really care about his students, and outs in A LOT of extra time for extra help sessions. Has a good sense of humour as well, mkaes lectures interesting!
The best prof I have ever had. Anyone can get and A in calc with him, even if you think you are horrible at math.
BEST....PROF....EVER!!
Do your homework and you'll find he's excellent at helping you pass the course. Funny guy who makes lectures interesting. He shouldn't have pawned off another prof's notes on us, though; I didn't take down important things that I thought would be in there
Great fun in class; easy to follow; DON'T buy Gerhard's notes (lack much detail); unfortunately I found is notes helter-skelter sometimes. Overall, he makes the class easy and fun.
Best prof I've had so far! He explains well, he is very approachable, always willing to help outside of class, and uses humour during his lectures. Don't take anyone else for Calc 2!
I had Mr. K in high school too, and he was amazing. He makes jokes to keep you paying attention and is always willing to explain something to death until you understand. Very approachable and a genuinely nice guy.
The best prof. I have had at U of M. He makes math enjoyable. Very helpful both inside and outside of the class. THE BEST PROF. EVER!!!
Great for helping students after class, always seems to have time for every student. Is funny in class, helps to keep the student's attention. Just don't take any extra assignement papers! :)
The best!
The best prof ever. Made me love math again.
i chose 3 maths course in his class,a very good prof.
Very helpful and makes sure you understand the lesson before he moves on to the next topic
Probably the best teaching style I've ever seen from any professor. He's entertaining, helpful, and accurate all-in-one. He seems to know exactly what to teach for the course and the best way to teach it.
The Best professor at the U of M by far
I dont know why everyone likes this guys so much. I thought he was a terrible prof. If oyu havent taken aal of this material before going into his class dont even bother. He teaches way too fast, and teaches as if the entire class already knows the material.
Good prof and a nice guy. Does teach fast, but at least that allows for sufficient exam review. Always willing to make things clear, as well. I would recommend buying the Grant's book for this course instead of the course text book. It made my life MUCH easier! (I got an A in the course)
good prof, fast class pace, clear verbal explanations, bad class notes though, without printed notes to follow along with the course would have been much more difficult to learn
Great professor i never met before.....
His teaching method is perfect and his class is so interesting. A good professor
If you are looking for a calculus teacher look no further. This is your prof.
sweet old man. great teacher - a pleasure to attend his classes. one of the best profs i've ever had
it is a pleasure to take his class, the content is alwaya very clear and easy to get it...
good stuff
awesome
Best prof ever!!! actually cares about how you do in the class. probably the best prof at u of m. take anything you can with him.
He has a nice pace. He doesn't treat you like you're an idiot if you have a question. He's relaxed about teaching, and he's straightforward. He tells you how to do things right the first time. He's the best math teacher I've ever had.
An outstanding teacher and human being. If you have the opportunity to study under him, TAKE IT! You will not find a better teacher. A+++++++
To all people who don't like math but have to take it anyways - register in this prof's class! Excellent, excellent, excellent! You can get an A+ in calculus with this teacher!
Very good prof, some of the assignments can be a bit tough if you're not great at math, but very fair.
Best prof out there, if you have to take this course, take it with him!
The best prof I've had so far! He makes his class interesting and fun and is not afraid to poke fun at his students. It's too bad I couldn't have him this term.
Such a good prof. Explains things very clearly
He loves math and thinks you should too. And you very well might after learning from him. He really cares about his students... Great man.
Awesome prof!! he's very nice and explains everything he is doing. Anyone can get an A in this class if they try. Take the class. Awesome teacher
Great prof, very funny and he encouraged students to participate. I liked how his overhead notes were already prepared for us because it made class that much easier.
awesome guy and awesome Prof. inspired me to go for a math degree because he really cares and isn`t an egotistical jerk like Woods! Best Math Prof you could possibly ask for, exams are a little tough but he prepares youe well!
Enjoys teaching, makes extra useful notes for us. Grants is a waste of money if you attend this prof's class and labs, you will learn everything easily.
...HORRIBLE...
Good prof. He's one of the best Math teachers out there. Spend extra time outside of class time just for review. Awsome. highly recommended.
I thought this prof was excellent! He really did a good job conveying his ideas to students, was very approachable, got alot of class involvement during lectures. I thought he was a great prof!
he's sooooooooo good
Undoubtedly the best teacher I have ever had. His lectures are so clear and he makes the most comprehensive, hands on use of them. He gives the best examples and never leaves out an explanation or any details. We finished the course 2 weeks before the last date of classes so we had ample time to review over materials for the final exam. EXTREMELY helpful outside class. Its no wonder his class got the highest average. If your taking any math course, TAKE IT WITH HIM!!! I would have never thought I could achieve an A in calculus and because of him, I have. A true asset to this university and he should be awarded for his teachings. Korytowski rules!!!
i love his class. he is so nice. his class is so understandable and helpful. i took his 150 and 120 at the same time. both are so great.
One of the best, if not the best proffs you will have at the University. I highly recomend you take your math courses with him if you can.
He's a really fun professor, and will take the time to learn your name. He has all his notes for sale at the U of M store for like 12 bucks, so you can focus on the concepts instead of scrambling to write things down. I don't love math, but Korytowski made it interesting.
Great
he really is THE best teacher i've had, in terms of how easy he makes everything. i have nothing to complain about this class, he's very very good at what he does, and he's very clear minded in his teaching styles. awesome teacher.
I understand calculus better now more than I ever did in high school, even though I took Calc AB & BC in high school. He is an excellent professor who wants his students to do well!
Best Prof ever! He makes calculas easy to understand, and he prepares you super good for the exam. He definately makes class worth while to go to, which is a good thing. I will never take math, with a different Professor K!
Korytowski is quite entertaining and has a clever sense of humour. He is very good at what he does.
Excellent, highly recommended.
Absolutely excellent prof. Take it, and get clear teacking and high mark.
Makes Calculus go by fast.... and do I dare say ENJOYABLE! Plus his jokes aren't that bad either
Amazing! teaches just like a high school teacher. Does tons of examples.
Great Prof. totally blew me away in calculus. I understood everything!!
Fricken Brilliant! I don't know if it's possible but he made me love Calculus. Definitely recommend him, and he was totally worth it. Easy Math mark, well deserving of the U1 Teaching Award 2005.
Best math Professor ive had. He did a very good job at explaining the material and making it easy to understand. His marking was fair.
Although this course is much much harder than Calc 1, this prof does a great job giving the students what is needed to succeed. He is willing to help. And lectures are clear.
ALways best one math prof. I took both 150 and 170.
He is the best math professor in the entire university. Makes calculus easy and should i say enjoyable? His jokes are not bad either. Will not disappoint.
Had him for MATH 1500 last year. He was absolutely great then and without a doubt is still the best teacher I've ever had. His helpfulness is off the scale. He is always willing to stay as long as possible with you to help you out with whatever you need. His explanations are clear and helpful. No wonder he got a teaching award last year he should have gotten another one this year! It’s a shame he doesn't teach any math courses beyond 1st year but get him while you can for any 1st year math course and it will be an easy ride! You will never have any one else better!
The best, simply
He is hands down the best prof you'll ever get!! This is hard course but he does an extremely good job teaching it. He is also willing to help students at anytime. very approachable as well! Get this prof if you can.. for any math course!
No Comments
He's pretty much the best professor in the universe!
This mean is positively incredible! His explanations leave no room for confusion, he is helpful beyond comparison, and he has a knack for making each student in a 150 person class feel like he takes an individual interest in them. Even I, a languages major, am interested in taking more math courses because of Prof Korytowski. Simply wonderful.
The best proffessor I have every had and I doubt I will every have one as good again!!
One of the best profs I've ever had!
Korytowski is hands down one of the most amazing teachers I have ever had. He's funny, he's engaging, he's extremely helpful and takes a real interest in every students needs. Oh yeah, and his teaching style is amazing. He may not be a research intensive PhD holding mathematician, but he will be one of the best teachers you will ever have.
This prof is amazing at explaining things, and makes sure you understand what you're doing. He's really good with answering questions in class, all you'vegot to do is ask. The course was pretty tough, but i enjoyed it with Korytowski
Great first year prof! Logically arranged information, and his course notes are GOLD! 1/2 question period before his classes. He's probably the only reason I passed Calc 1.
AMAZING! makes class exciting, easy easy easy to understand, explains topics so well, very willing to answer questions and lend extra help during office hours. highly reccomended ive taken 3 courses with him.
I found him boring to listen to in class, but he's still a great prof. Very helpful outside of class. Gives you lots of tips on the quizzes. Go to class for those. You can teach yourself the course useing the text and doing suggested problems. No need to attend class really. Quizzes, mid-term, and final were fair.
super great prof. Must be taken with him.
great prof i highly recommend u take math with him. excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's AWESOME! I thought that I was bad at math until I had him for a teacher then I realized that it was my previous teachers that were bad, not me. He explains everything so it's crystal clear. The U of M is lucky to have him!
Best math prof you will ever get! His notes are already written out and available to students so you spend the class time learning and practicing not desperately writing. Great sense of humour, loves to engage students. Breaks the material down and explains it as best as anyone ever will.
I would strongly recommend taking his class. As a University One student the classes can be a bit intimidating and impersonal, but Korytowski takes time to help. He would come to class a half hour early to get us practicing what we've learned. He knows who I am, which is more than I can say about my other profs.
This is my favourite class! Math! That's a little lame right? But soooo TRUE! That's how awesome he is!
I'd always been afraid of University calc but he makes it easy to learn and having him there 30 minutes before class in the mornings to go over practice problems was a great help.
verrrrrrrrrrry goooooooooood
Wonderful Prof!! I would defintely encourage people to take his course, he teaches you everything you need to know to be successful in a clear way, and he makes the concepts easy to grasp. I can't say enough good things about him!
math 1200 and 1700. greatest prof ever. so helpful. easy prof too. simply the best.
to simply put it, the best mathematics professor UofM has to offer. Especially good teacher for U1 noobs to take =)
awesome prof!!! one of my favourites!!! He explains things so well and will show up to class half an hour early to go over examples
Best professor you will find anywhere. explains things so well and is extremely encouraging. if you need a math take it with him!!
Amazing prof. He made 1700 easy!
Best math prof I've ever had!! He made me want to go to class and learn (extremely cheesy but very true). I took 2 courses with him and got an A+ in both. Awesome prof wish he taugh more of the math courses
My favourite prof by faaar!!! Very helpful outside of class and he doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. He also has a great sense of humour and his little jokes make class enjoyable. I love this man!
He is the best Math Prof ever! He is quite hilarious too. I can't describe how thankful I am for taking Intro Calc with him. He made it all easy for everyone. He truly cared for his student's ability and grades. Thank you Prof K! I love this man :)
amazing nice prof! very friendly to every student. If you choose his course, it means you already pass it. VERY GOOD PROFESSOR, can make you interested in math!
Prof. Korytowski is a wonderful prof! The course so far seems alot easier than 1500. He comes to class 30 minutes early and does problems with us which is extremely helpful. One thing though, most of the time he just points things out instead of doing the examples with us. Darja Kalajdzievska is a better prof though. :)
A very good professor! The course is difficult at first however, he is always available to help students and comes to class early for those that want to go over extra problems. He has high expectations of students to remember everything learned in 1500. Great prof for this course!
you're gonna love this prof! he's make the course easier to understand and doesn't complicate things. you're gonna wish all the profs are just like him. i highly recommend!!!
I highly highly recommend this prof. It's so easy to follow along and he makes everything so much more clear! Excellent prof.
He is an amazing prof, by far the best one I've had in any of my classes. He makes class interesting and easy to follow, and makes topics clear and simplified. He comes to class half an hour early every time to do practise problems on the board with us, which is really helpful! He's also very approachable and funny :)
What an EXCELLENT professor. I retook MATH 1500 because I wasn't satisfied with my mark with Darja, but I took him and got an A+. Darja's a great prof, but he's exceptional. Teaches class with great humour. Never wanted to miss a class. If you had the choice of picking him as a prof, definitely take it.
Amazing Prof. Had him when I retook Calc 2 and he was very helpful. He shows up early to class, has his own note package that is really concise and easy to follow. He has a good sense of humour and seems to genuinely care about his students and how they do in school
The recent exam format that the U of M has adopted, in particular the department of mathematics is BRUTAL!! Korotowski's exam is one of the hardest in 1st year university. Midterm is very very hard. He goes very fast now because they added twice the amount of material. You will be lucky to pass the course. Used to be easy but those days are over.
REALLY GOOD
shows up early every morning and asks students for problems from book and then ask us to solve on the board which is really helpful in boosting confidence and improving the way of writing exams. Highly recommended!!!
This Teacher is by far the greatest teacher I've had in my life, he has inspired me to do mathematics and genuinely cares about his students.
This prof was awesome! I was very worried going into calc for management, but he did a ton of examples in class, and made sure we had a lot of time for review for the exams. I would consider taking math as an elective if I knew I had him as a prof!
best prof of calculus
He is a very kind and perfect professor. In his class, he gave ue some good examples to make us understand better. After class, he gave us some assignments to exercese. I assert he is awesome.
The best prof ever, he encouraged me so much with his comments in the class that I got an A in his class. I bet with this prof and if you do the homework you'll be able to do it too. He made me believe in myself :) Excellent prof! :)
favorite teacher ever!! He made the course (Calculus...) interesting and easy to understand :)
Absolutely incredible professor. I had no interest or aptitude in calculus going into the course, but Prof. Korytowski made this class enjoyable and completely doable. Course notes were far more helpful than the textbook, and were about a tenth the price. Totally prepared us for the final - it was exactly like the practice exams. Wonderful man.
Very nice, very friendly, adorable. He makes calculus simple and prepares you well for the final. Don't need the textbook his notes are enough.
Mr. Korytowski is a great prof. Too great to be described that I even had to write on the UofM evaluation form that he is the greatest ever and I should be taken seriously. His teaching is crystal clear and he doesn't undermine your knowledge. He marks a strictly though to an extent but its fun when he does it because he laughs over it. He is good!
He is an amazing prof. He makes the class lively too by making jokes once in a while. I used to look forward to his jokes. He is indisputably the best professor in the UofM: Donald Trim comes close and just as good,as regards math profs but Korytwoski would stand out any day. You definitely shud take his class, and look out for the word "cute" :)
Best prof in u of m. To understand every single thing, you should sit in first 3 rows
Unbelievable professor!!! So kind, humorous, and cares both about his students and the calculus that he teaches. Has a real passion for the beauty he sees in math and tries to pass his passion on to you. Always clear and available for help. The BEST prof of all time.
I've always found math hard but Professor Korytowski made it easy for me. He explains everything clearly. He genuinely cares about your learning.
AMAZING Prof, funny, and cute. The best best prof in U1. Everything is clear. His notes are super helpful than the book. He encourage his students a lot. Just Amazing
BEST PROF EVER. hands down. take class with him!!
As everyone else has said, greatest teacher ever. He's always try to make the hard things easy He is really dedicated, and excellent at teaching~ also it is really helpful to attend his extra half a hour each day, he will always bring some questions and let u practice~ since it is MATH!! Enjoy ur time with this funny and cute old guy~~ loving!!!
the final is coming, i ve not got the score yet. but i strongly believe, it will be far better than i took any other prof. i will miss him so much..since it is the last 1-year of Math course...
Amazing prof, all his discriptions were Crystal clear. If you can take his class reccommended for students with a pre-calc grades under 85% you get a FREE extra class a week with tons of awesome review. Best prof at U of M Hands Down!!!
An amazing prof, definitely one of the best at the university. Mr. Korytowski always makes the classes fun and really gets the students involved during his lectures. Furthermore, he does a fantastic job of making complicated things simple, clear, and is always willing to answer questions students have!
Lovely guy. Take this class! He makes concepts really accessible, gives tons of help. Worth waking up early in the morning for!
He's the best prof in Canada
Excellent prof. He encourages student involvement in class, is always encouraging, and makes all the content relevant to the students, regardless of their prior interest. Highly reccomended
The best professor/teacher I've ever had my whole life. Spoils you in having your notes pre-typed so it's extremely easy to follow and to review what you've been taught. Most profs don't do that. He makes questions in class a bit more difficult so questions on exams seem like a breeze.He's exeptionally nice and so approachable and wants you to soar
extremely nice for students both home and aboard.Enjoying high prestige
arguably the greatest prof at U of M, unarguably by miles best prof I ever had, you won't need your text book tbh, just come to lecture classes, and the extra 50 minutes work session, and understand the concepts, you will be guaranteed a B without the textbook...
He is amazing! Even if calculus is not your strong-suit he will make it easy. Genuinely cares about all of his students, comes early to help students, and will do whatever he can to help you succeed.
The best prof in the department. I didnt even need to open the textbook because his notes were BETTER. Great sense of humour, and very clear explanations. 11/10
really nice prof and extremely clear teaching. He really wants everyone to do well and his teaching reflects that. Never really needed to use the textbook because his notes were clear enough, also used Grant's. Very nice
One of the few best profs Ive ever had, I was relatively good at the subject, and he can easily make anyone a master at it. Very entertaining, knows alot about calculus, likes to be realistic and honest with students.
Hands down my favourite prof. He is always in a good mood and really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. He is very enthusiastic about teaching. Explains everything really well and makes the class really easy. He understands students and points out common mistakes and tells you exactly what to expect for exams.
He made the lectures interesting. Good prof.
AMAZING PROF! i wish he could teach me every course
Very helpful and funny. Does whatever it takes to allow his students to succeed. Very good teacher. He switches between walking though examples, doing examples, and allowing you to try examples of your own, which is fantastic. Extremely satisfied with choosing him for the course.
Very good
Amazing proof! I would reccomend everyone taking this course to try and get into his class! Not one boring class, makes calc fun, easy,breezy. Kills you with good,though examples in class and the tests so easy. He really wants everyone to succeed. Comes half an h earlier to work with students on examples and any questions they have. BEST OFTHEBEST!
great prof. You will get a good mark and he is funny. Explains things so well.
Love this professor!!!He is the king of math 1500~!
Amazing professor!! Definitely recommended!!!!
You will defo pass any course you take with him. If you don't, then you must be really dull.
This professor is amazing!! If you have the option to take his class, do it! You will not regret choosing this prof!
This prof is amazing. He has printed notes so students can focus more on the lesson instead of writing. He uses humour to check if that class is still with him after a hard/long lesson. He genuinely cares for his students, and wants all of them to pass. He states what is to be expected on the exam. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Amazing prof, probably the best one in the school or mathematics.
Amazing prof
Best prof ever
great guy
great prof
Awesome prof! Take Math 1500 with him if possible. I heard other profs for this course are not as good as him. You do not have to buy the textbook if you have him. You only need to buy his notes for and youre set. He tells you that math is not note-taking, instead youre in class to learn and practice problems! Best prof Ive had!
Best prof in the history of the world. Has some funny stories and jokes a lot. But he doesn't move on until he's satisfied that he's taught you to the best of his capability.
Funniest prof ever, also the best prof I have ever had in my life. I got A+ thanks to him.
Very good prof had him twice. Very funny too
Kind and experienced professor I ever see in my life. He gave us the best notes, the best explanation and the most relaxed lecture. By the way, I always felt the time of his class went by faster than any of my other courses.
Had Prof Korytowski for both Math 1500 and 1700. Excellent prof. Likes to answer questions that students have. Very friendly. Genuine interest for all his students to do well. Would be nice if he taught Math 2130 :(
TAKE MATH DURING THE SUMMER WITH HIM!!!! Professor Korytowski is amazing. He is so helpful and funny. His notes are clear and concise and he provides them all printed. His tests are easy but you need to work hard to earn your marks. One of the best U of M profs by far.
The best prof at the U of M. There are no others like him. Simply a gem. I wish he taught math 1700 in the summer as well. I think he is the best math instructor in Manitoba in my opinion.
He's probably the best professor in u of m. He explains the course material clearly and concisely, which makes reading the textbook an overkill. The course materials he provides are very important to learning the course. He pays attention to his student's needs and can tell when people don't understand what he's teaching and sometimes start over.
Made me love math again and one of the reason I am an engineer today.
