The goat of practice tests. His lectures are hit or miss, he can sometimes get off track but he makes sure to explain the concepts not just the formulas which makes testing easier. For the final he gave us 8 previous finals and their answer keys and his practice quizzes are identical to the real quizzes. You will be preparedMATH2321 2026-06-09 21:42:04 +0000 UTC
He's a mathematician and not an engineer. Mediocre lecturer, sometimes does the mathematician thing where he has to cover all his tracks and be specific with his language. You don't have to show up to lectures if you can teach yourself the content from lecture notes online. Every homework assignment and test had corresponding practice problems.MATH2331 2026-04-29 01:50:11 +0000 UTC
Overall cool guy, your grade is just 20% quizzes, 40% midterms and 40% final, but the quizzes are similar to the practice ones which is good. You can honestly skip his lectures and just teach yourself the material in the same amount of time and get easy A's on the quizzes.MATH2341 2026-04-28 22:50:07 +0000 UTC
Just take it with any other professor! There's no extra credit, Very hard to understand, and not accesible.MATH1341 2026-04-16 21:54:22 +0000 UTC
This class was one of my least favorite because of not only the course material, but the homework. Homework was very hard. the professor always mumbles when he speaks and it is hard to understand what is going on in lecture, I could never keep track of what was going on. I will say, he does grade the exams very generouslyMATH1365 2025-03-28 17:11:41 +0000 UTC
This variation of calc1 should be avoided as it covers concepts way into diff eq and linear algebra. Prepare to solve systems of ODE and use lambda substitution to find eigenvectors. Dr T did not help digest this rather challenging material which became more apparent as the class shifted to more difficult topics. U can still do well if ur smart thoMATH1251 2023-08-23 04:52:16 +0000 UTC
I honestly feel that dimitre is given too much hate. I think he gives enough resources to do good in class like practice problems from a textbook. The test questions are almost exact to these questions and sometimes he will take questions straight from the textbook. If you took AP Calc then this class will be easy, i found it easier than AP Calc.MATH1241 2023-01-25 21:59:39 +0000 UTC
This is a hard class- his lectures are confusing and disjointed. That being said, the quizzes and tests are very similar to the practices he posts on Canvas. Also, all his lecture notes are posted, even if they are a bit messy. Definitely will take time and will challenge you.MATH2321 2026-05-27 02:07:50 +0000 UTC
He's just a lil guy.MATH2341 2026-04-05 00:51:06 +0000 UTC
Professor Dimitre Tzigantchev was honestly the best professor I have ever had in my life, he brings the life into the classroom. While many may have the opposite reaction to him, I think that he brings fun to what is not a very fun subject. He is consistent with class examples, pictures, homework that matches what he puts on exams. GO DIMITRE!MATH1341 2025-01-30 21:18:10 +0000 UTC
He teaches this class like its the most boring thing hes ever taught. Its very hard to stay engaged and he rarely ever checks zoom chat. He constantly goes back on his sentences and it makes it hard to follow what hes saying and he goes on very long tangents trying to answer questions and still doesnt answer them.MATH1365 2020-11-05 18:54:14 +0000 UTC
Not a great teacher, be prepared to study tons outside of class. Would brush through problems and start new topics without ever explaining the content or the methods used. There is a significant amount of extra material posted on canvas which made it somewhat helpful to practice with, however the entire grade was dependent on quizzes and the final.MATH1251 2023-06-13 05:07:54 +0000 UTC
Has a very thick Russian accent that can be difficult to understand. There is a separate grader for the class who is not generous with partial credit AT ALL. I already took calc in high school but he tended to overcomplicate things.MATH1241 2023-01-12 21:07:54 +0000 UTC
Good teacher, lectures sometimes hard to follow, but very good notes and practice quizzes/tests.MATH2321 2026-04-06 16:59:07 +0000 UTC
He's a pretty good professor for Diff Eq; he teaches the material well and the quizzes/tests are very similar to the practice problems. He also posts all of the lecture notes onto Canvas and the notes are well organized. He does occasionally trail off and the lectures can be boring but he's not a bad teacher.MATH2341 2025-12-17 22:22:29 +0000 UTC
