Mr. Putinar is an uninspiring orator, whose lectures inspire little true understanding of the subject matter. Homework, assigned online through pearson was easily completed, and did not deviate far from the assigned course material. Exams were also given online, through pearson, and were the same difficulty of the homework.

Lectures were dull and I did not attend mostly. Uses an online interactive textbook which is actually really useful if you don't mind self studying, but it's expensive. Light homework and straightforward tests

Lectures were very poor and slides were never helpful. Basically worse copies from the textbook. I read the textbook and watched youtube videos to get through this course. On the bright side, the homework was easy and the tests were short and online. Basically exact problems from the homework software.

He does not care about students at all. Horrible handwriting. However, his course is easy. You can get a good score by self studying. Don't waste time attending lectures or seek help from him.

Professor Putinar seems like a sweet man but oh boy, the way he explains the concepts is just horrible. I didn't learn a single thing in this class. On top of everything, it is mandatory to buy a $80+ program which you do your homework on and tests. The TA's are even worse at explaining. Try to avoid this professor at all costs.

This rating probably doesn't count for much. This class was fully online for some reason, so I honestly didn't learn a single thing. 50% of grade was homework, the rest was tests. All online though, and usually 3 attempts for online textbook homework questions. All I know is his writing is terrible, and you won't learn anything from his lectures.
