I took calculus in High School and did the mistake of not taking the AP test to avoid this class. While he does provide extra credit on midterms, they're four questions and are graded very harshly. His lectures do not help at all and my grade went from a A- to C on the final.

this class ruined my confidence in math. i can tell he tries to have people learn but he is so confusing and hard to understand (both with speaking and notes):( both midterms were ok, but the final was so bad it brought me from a A+ to a C+. curve was not great even tho many people struggled. study guides don't help at all. pls go to CLAS!

Cannot teacher, you are going to be self learning the whole quater

The WORST teacher I have ever had. The man does not teach, only talks. He explains nothing and it feels like he's just reading off his course outline the whole time. We were supposed to get all the way to integrals but somehow went over limits every lecture. Homework and study guide have nothing to do with midterms/finals. TAs are useless.

He can explain advanced topics very thoroughly and well, but his fancy math-language doesn't lend itself to introductory calculus topics. Study guides and homework are typically harder than exams, and EC is offered. Office hours are very insightful for careers in math-adjacent fields, as the professor is extremely knowledgable. TAs vary widely.

I would avoid him unless you are extremely confident in your calculus abilities BEFORE enrolling. his lectures are confusing and all over the place, the homework is extremely difficult, and the study guides provided never match the 3 question midterms. the curve is big because the median score has been failing. go to CLAS if you take this course
