MATH3B . 14 Years Ago

Very hard tests, two tries per homework question (weekly assignments), and will sneak trigonometric substitutions into every problem he can. He is also very rude when individually approached. I received a c minus in his class even after taking calculus in high school

Great Professor. tested us ONLY on material that he presented in lecture. Great guy that is really helpful during office hours. Even though it was an 8am class he told a funny joke almost every lecture. explained concepts superbly.

Pretty awesome dude. British accent, definitely easy to understand. Told a pretty hilarious joke almost every class. Good teacher, pretty hard tests. Overall very fair and straight forward class. Definitely recommend him if you have the opportunity

He's an incredible professor. Initially scary, but actually a sweet guy when you go talk to him. Course suckz!

He's pretty easy (comparing this to other upper division math courses here!), very understanding (he let me turn in homework late once), funny, and enourages participation quite a bit - which is important because math professors tend to whip through proofs without caring if you get it much.

Really great teacher, he's very enthusiastic. One of the best professors i've had. He does a good job clarifying difficult material (class is hard!) & is a pretty rad guy overall.

Great Teacher and interesting. He always takes the time to answer questions and go over stuff to make sure that the class is able to comprehend

He's a funny guy. When he stands there looking at the chalkboad he looks like he's vaguely disgusted with the very fabric of the universe. He's very clear and gives a good understanding of the subject. The homework was uber-hard, but I didn't do it because I took the class P/NP.

The class is easy, he tells jokes and lets us out early. Midterms are easy but the final was hard.

Hands down best prof I've ever had. Jokes range from pretty funny to hoky but at 8am it all helps.

One of my midterms was the same problem, repeated with small variations 4 times. I got 40/40 - it was easy. The point is that between the first and second midterm he hadn't taught enough to make a midterm that wasn't redundant. You won't learn much, but you'll have a good time.

Long is a total ****. Tells super funny british humor jokes in the middle of class and is a really good teacher too. He teaches in a way you can understand instead of how most research prof's teach to the 2 smartest kids in the class

I love Professor Long. He is really good at getting the concepts across and his daily joke helps make the class bearable. I totally recommend him to anyone finishing up the three series.

He's very smart but he's not a good teacher. He's mean to poor performance students. If you don't know the background stuff on ur question well. Don't even think about show up in his office. " Sorry, I can't help u" or "That's ur problem." He would say. The final question was 50% fr the midterm.

Darren is smart. He likes to intrigue. Intrigueing makes him happy. Teachinhg makes him unhappy, because teaching makes students smart.

His lectures are extremely well structered. This guy really know his stuff, but the class material can be really difficult. Make sure to KNOW ALL the proofs before his exams.
