CollegeBeing in the lecture hall was pretty uncomfortable since he consistently picked on one student who had disabilities. It felt like we were assigned webwork every lecture. He shared his lecture notes with us, but he would erase some parts before sharing. I think he did this to make it confusing for those who didn't attend.
Spoke pretty quiet in lecture. Homework assignments often covered things he hadn't gone over in class yet. Homework was pretty long and were assigned randomly throughout the week. Class on its own is not too difficult though and the tests aren't too hard. Also he picked on a disabled student and was mildly hostile when questions were asked.
The structure of this class was very different than other math courses with quizzes and exams being less than the homework. There was a ton of this homework and he was very rude to a student with a disability for the first half of course which was very distracting.
This class will teach you the math. That being said, the professor is very condescending to any question he deems "too easy," and this class has THE MOST HOMEWORK I HAVE EVER HAD. Most of the homework is way harder than tests though, no shame in ChatGPTing it sometimes. Hardest assignments are the section quizzes, but they are done in groups.
Horrible professor who is quiet and terrible at explaining concepts. Assigned lengthy homework that was difficult, 2 quizzes which were hard but could be done in groups, an easy midterm, BUT an extremely hard final. He is also rude to people with disabilities. Attended every lecture and still had to teach myself all the material. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
he was very weird to a disabled student and is a god awful “professor” who's final exam had me and several others starstruck after taking it. stay away from him at all costs.
