explains concepts in a really long winded way, i found that the students in my class would learn from the videos and lecture notes he posts on canvas (really useful btw), but hes really chill and respects feedback in class, quizzes every week but they aren't bad at allMATH1251 2024-12-17 00:32:08 +0000 UTC
explains simple concepts in really long winded and complicated ways. ended up not showing up IRL after the first month except for quizzes and finals. uploads videos and lecture notes and practice work on canvas which are more useful than the lectures. but hes super chill and answers emails.MATH1251 2024-12-10 01:51:18 +0000 UTC
He struggled to explain complex concepts clearly, and his grading system, was limited to quizzes and finals. An issue was the lack of formula sheets, which other course sections used. We were unaware these were allowed, leaving us to use outside resources. On quiz days, he made things worse by delivering long, irrelevant lectures before the test.MATH1251 2024-12-06 01:56:52 +0000 UTC
He was a good prof for calc. I never took calc before so I was worried, but overall I did well. the quizzes are identical to practice and his office hours are helpful. he is a bit awkward though, kind of reminds me of a teenager.MATH1251 2023-04-12 20:40:04 +0000 UTC
He is good at explaining content and the practice quizzes are pretty much identical to the actual quizzes. Final was difficult, but was curved. As long as you go to class and do the practice you will be fineMATH1251 2023-03-09 21:59:29 +0000 UTC
