His behavior demonstrates clear racial prejudice. He has mocked individuals from Panama, Greenland, and Gaza. I would strongly advise against taking his course unless you subscribe to white supremacist ideologies.

Has not graded any midterms or given any feedback. More than a week late to post grades, and was does not give very good lectures. Rely on self studying.

MATH116 . Garfield P M 1 Year, 4 Days Ago

I'm sure he's great for lower div classes but for upper division classes hes an absolute mess. He hasnt graded either of our 2 class exams, forgets to post homework MOST WEEKS, and regularly lies about things such as releasing lecture slides or giving us exam information. Also does not care to give practice exams, so you have NO CLUE whats going on

Very good and engaging lecturer, definitely cares about the success of students. Lots of homework due every MWF. Some homework problems are pretty interesting such as proving Fermat's little theorem, interesting counting, etc. Exams are pretty straightforward. Grading is extremely slow, 2nd midterm and final were graded 1 wk after grades due.

He's so funny and awesome, like the human version of garfield the cat. If you have to take a math course, take it with this professor!

This dude is the goat such a nice guy and the class is so free he gives practice tests for every test and if you know how to do them you will get an A just learn what's on the practice test a few days before test day
