Professor Eigen is a great guy. He reminds you of a family member that you love being around. He explains math in a way that everyone can understand and goes slow enough and makes sure you know the material. He often goes on tangents, but it's always educational and engaging. If you struggle in math, I 100% suggest you take his class.MATH1120 2026-01-09 06:10:28 +0000 UTC
Professor Eigen is probably the sweetest man you'll meet. He's very passionate about the math behind magic and card tricks, however his lectures were boring after a while and he doesn't grade attendance. There aren't midterms and finals either, meaning the course is graded purely on the service learning. Easy and guaranteed 100%, and a chill guy!HONR1310 2025-12-24 02:28:52 +0000 UTC
I took him for the honors elective, and he was a great professor. Really passionate about the subject, along with ensuring students were engaged in class. Teaching style was very laid back and relaxed, which allowed for better participation and a helpful environment. Overall, great experience!GROUPTHEO 2025-12-15 16:41:03 +0000 UTC
Open note quizzes once a week and cumulative final (open note, as well). Every quiz can be retaken at least once (ensures a good grade). Takes his time making sure all students understand the material. Lots of algebra review and intro to derivatives. Professor is very kind, understanding, and considerate of the students.PRECALCULUS 2023-12-15 03:41:50 +0000 UTC
Professor Eigen was the best math teacher that I have had my entire school career! I had him for Precalculus and he was very clear and thorough and basically covered everything that I needed for Calculus. Quizes are very easy and resemble the homework. He has a great sense of humor that adds to the class! Take him if you can!!PRE1200 2011-04-12 17:57:32 +0000 UTC
I took Stanley's Precalculus class. He was a really cool guy. The quizzes were really easy and if you didn't understand something he always took the time to explain it to you one-on-one.MATH1215 2011-04-08 18:58:30 +0000 UTC
Easy quizes, good style of teaching, and overall a great professor. Stan is the man.MTH1252 2010-04-04 13:21:20 +0000 UTC
This is NOT precalculus! This is an ALGEBRA class! If you already know your algebra, this class is POINTLESS. I thought we were actually going to do trig, but I was wrong. It's a waste of time for those who already learned from high school algebra.MTH121 2008-10-21 18:37:41 +0000 UTC
Great teacherMTH302 2008-10-01 22:45:21 +0000 UTC
VERY easy class. He isn't very helpful but he will explain it and give practice quizes that are ALMOST IDENTICAL to the actual quiz.PRECALC 2006-11-13 18:03:10 +0000 UTC
very easy. quiz every week. gives you a practice quiz and the quiz is EXACTLY the same as the practice quiz. if you can do the practice i promise you can do the quiz. no surprises at all. funny guy, kinda a dork, but i liked him. oh and if you knwo what you are doing you can leave like a half hour early :)MATH121 2006-11-07 19:41:46 +0000 UTC
Funny man.... horrible teacher. He sounds like Woody Allen, he dresses like a lumber-jack (with his patented flanel shirts) and teaches like a genius who has no idea how to relate to his students. Get a tutor fast.MTHU121 2004-11-04 12:54:19 +0000 UTC
omg this guy is just funny to look at and watch...what other professor comes to class in flannel shirts and his hair everywhere? he's crazy man..but he sucks at teaching, so find a good tutor lolPRECAL 2004-02-26 22:29:01 +0000 UTC

I took him for an honors inquiry class, and he was super nice. Class was boring but hes a super friendly quirky guy. Lectures were a little tough to get through and I did try to learn to sleep with my eyes open. But also hes so kind I feel bad saying that.HONR1310 2025-12-15 20:12:27 +0000 UTC
