CollegeVery good professor. The lecture is little bit boring but he posted very informative notes on his website. The practice exam was similar to the real exams. Even though you get the wrong answer on the exam , he gave 90% credits for the steps.
Horrible class and big lack of support in all aspects.
Professor Atzberger is really good! He is super understanding and kind. If the class was confused on assignments, he would provide an extension for everyone! The final was a project which was really interesting to do and a good resume booster! He cares about teaching students skills to use in the industry, he's not just giving busy work. 10/10
His slides are entirely words or visuals. No math examples, which is odd for a math class. I got an A because the practice final was exactly the same as final, so memorization solely. He spends most of lecture talking about how useful something is or how powerful something is. He did not spend time to build understanding.
Ok, he is kind, he is nice, he respects his students. However, this man has absolutely no idea how to explain things to his students. The lecture is borderline useless. You might as well learn everything on your own. If you ask him a question, he just rambles on and on and pretty much no one would understand what hes saying. Real Sad!
He may not be suitable for everyone but he is a very traditional person and respects all his students.
