His lectures aren't informative for me because it feels like you need to do next week's homework to understand last week's lecture. I usually like fast-paced classes, but his teaching style was aimed at solving problems rather than understanding material. I would not recommend it.MATH2321 2026-08-08 14:48:19 +0000 UTC
chris is great, his lectures are quite boring but he clearly knows what he's talking about and they're very informative if you can stay awake. he cares a lot about the students and provides a lot of help. the grading is tough but if you study you'll do fine. quizzes entirely from the homework, but for the exams you dont get a cheat sheet :(2321 2025-12-29 23:29:26 +0000 UTC
over half my class withdrew because of how badly we all did. all he does is lecture and lecture, so boring, and his texts were impossible.MATH2321 2025-12-08 20:29:48 +0000 UTC
I have mixed feelings about this class. The quizzes are questions straight from the HW, and the amount of HW is a bit insane. I didn't like the way the professor taught, he speeds through lectures, and the examples provided were easy compared to the HW. We did not get a cheat sheet for midterms.2321 2025-12-22 20:11:16 +0000 UTC
This is the hardest class Ive taken and it did not help that I had this professor. He grades so harshly, he makes it so hard to pay attention in class. He goes through problems without explaining them, expecting you to read his mind on steps that he did in his head. There are quizzes the day before exams, and there are multiple exams. Not a fan.MATH2321 2025-11-20 18:43:47 +0000 UTC
If you are taking him for Calc 3, just know you will have to perform well on the midterms to have a good grade. Homework isn't graded, but you must do it to actually learn the material and practice what is taught in class. Weekly quizzes are problems straight from the homework. Final exam is straightforward and similar to midterms.2321 2025-12-13 19:07:32 +0000 UTC
The least time I spent on a homework for the class was 6 hours. There are so many problems and they dont reflect what is on the exams. The class is so boring and he speaks in a monotone voice. It is hard to pay attention.MATH2321 2025-11-20 18:41:22 +0000 UTC
Passionate, caring, but didn't teach well. When i stopped going to class and instead watched youtube videos made by the textbook I got much better grades (5/10 to 8-10). Quizzes are taken directly from the homework, but it's a LOT of hw to get through. Also only section that doesn't get cheat sheets, and 1 quiz drop compared to 2 that most get.2321 2025-12-10 16:33:12 +0000 UTC
This professor is so boring. He puts the entire class to sleep during lectures and does not prepare anyone for the exams. The exams are very hard and worth too much of your final grade.MATH2321 2025-11-20 18:39:21 +0000 UTC
He clearly loves calc and is passionate about it, but he is not the best at explaining ideas. He does not use slides and does not give you any time to do examples, so it is just listening to him talk the whole time which can be hard to follow. The weekly homework quizzes are easy if you do the homework, but his midterms are also very hard.2321 2025-11-25 23:29:17 +0000 UTC
This professor is such a hard grader and not a good lecturer in general. He gives quizzes the day before exams and there are multiple exams throughout the semester. He doesn't curve and he should because the class averages are always near failing.MATH2321 2025-11-20 18:37:32 +0000 UTC
I am very displeased with my professor this semester. He is one of the worst professors I've ever had, not to mention this is the hardest course I've taken so far. It's nice that quizzes are just verbatim of the homework, yet the homework takes at least 6 hours to complete.2321 2025-11-20 17:58:59 +0000 UTC
He grades so strictly that it is very hard to receive full points. It's wonderful when he shows the average, and it is a 6.2 out of 10. The worst part about this course is that he assigns quizzes the day before an exam. I wish I were kidding. If he has no haters, I am dead. The 1st exam had a 65 percent average, and he did not curve at all.MATH2321 2025-11-20 17:59:49 +0000 UTC
Just save yourself the trouble and take a different prof. He was rated quite well so I was thouroughly dissapointed. He just speeds through a lecture on the board never turning to the class. He doesn't explain the steps to what he is doing. Additionally, only section that doesn't allow its students to have cheat sheets.2321 2025-11-18 23:08:01 +0000 UTC
