CollegeVery willing to answer questions and make concepts clear within lectures, but at times he goes fast which is a little difficult to follow. He is helpful and accessible, and nice with final grades (curved the average final course grade for Math 8 up to an 80).
Really friendly professor, easy to talk to in office hours and within class. Listens and implements feedback and is very generous when it comes to grading. Cares a lot about the class and made learning the material engaging and fun!
If you actually want to learn Calculus, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. Teaches solely through examples and doesn't explain theorems. Backtracks frequently, unorganized, and takes a very roundabout way of teaching. Grading system is cool though. Attendance and book aren't necessary.
Extremely clear expectations for exams and grading. Some lectures could have been planned and rehearsed a little bit, but mistakes were understandable for a newer instructor.
Couldn't understand a thing in lecture. Disorganized and hard to access. I think we all had a general confusion every time he spoke in lecture. Midterm and final were graded very lightly, if it weren't for that I would not have passed. Homework is alright just a lot of questions. Not the worst ever.
Very unorganized canvas, pretty bad at explaining topics in depth. Only good part about his class was he drops your lowest midterm score and considers a curve if necessary.
