Best professor you can ask for in the math department. He's very nice and seems to care about his students. He assigns a lot of homework but it's doable. Doing the extra practice problems he suggests really helps for the exams. Shouldn't be too bad if you take time to study.

Learned a lot of what he taught in high school Calculus (not AP) which helped. Lectures aren't the most interesting as he's monotone and mumbles so drink coffee and sit near the front. Gives a decent amount of WebWork hw but it's good practice for the tests, which were fair. Also gives study guides w/ answers & is very helpful during OH.

Porter is straightforward and he answers questions during lecture. He does mumble though so it's best if you sit towards the front. It's Calculus and he isn't the most ecstatic professor but he teaches what you need to know and you can go to his office hours for more clarification. His midterms are relatively easy but the final was harder.

Professor Porter gives you all the study material you need. You can easily pass this class if you just do the work. It's calculus so hearing it once in lecture isn't going to solidify it in your memory. He posts the completed lecture slides after each class and assigns webwork to help study. Review guides for each test.

Professor Porter is the worst professor Ive ever had. He just stands up there and mumbles things incoherently while teaching calculus in the most abstract, difficult way to understand it. His handwriting is illegible which is how he does his lectures. Dont take him, youll learn nothing.

If you want to spend 50 minutes every lecture listening to a low, incomprehensible mumble tangentially regarding some things about calculus while watching some dude run his red marker over an electronic worksheet, then spend two hours doing 90 homework problems, then take a test with problems that werent covered by either, then take 3A with Porter
