Exam scores determine everything. Informative on the subject, but his lecture notes were pretty confusing. The final is worth half your grade so the main focus should be on that. Also, sections weren't great.
pretty solid prof and explained concepts well during lectures, cares about his students and encourages participation during class. make use of office hours! sections kinda suck. however, the final is worth 50% of your grade and pretty much determines your final grade so prepare heavily for it, as it was harder than the midterms and practice final
I've never taken calc before but he taught it well. His lectures were comprehensive and the homework was a great way to prepare for the exams. The midterms were almost the same to the practices and the final wasn't too hard. He really wanted to get his students to pass and he made sure to explain the topics if you didn't get it during lecture.
Not bad pretty decent
This guy's TAs are clowns, and his grading criteria is off the charts.
really good prof i recommend
