PUTINAR M
Professor Putinar is an amazing lecturer. His exams were fair and as someone who really enjoys mathematics, I found his course to be motivating and inspirational. I can't wait to learn more analysis & I appreciate him!! Also head to office hours if you are able to, they help!
Couldn't focus during his lectures. He's not very amusing. Had to purchase HW, but I liked the website a lot because it walked you through everything step by step. Test was easier since it was online and open note.
Mr. Putinar is an uninspiring orator, whose lectures inspire little true understanding of the subject matter. Homework, assigned online through pearson was easily completed, and did not deviate far from the assigned course material. Exams were also given online, through pearson, and were the same difficulty of the homework.
He is very caring and nice. Highly recommended to go to his office hour. The grading is lenient.
Lectures were dull and I did not attend mostly. Uses an online interactive textbook which is actually really useful if you don't mind self studying, but it's expensive. Light homework and straightforward tests
Lectures were very poor and slides were never helpful. Basically worse copies from the textbook. I read the textbook and watched youtube videos to get through this course. On the bright side, the homework was easy and the tests were short and online. Basically exact problems from the homework software.
He does not care about students at all. Horrible handwriting. However, his course is easy. You can get a good score by self studying. Don't waste time attending lectures or seek help from him.
Professor Putinar seems like a sweet man but oh boy, the way he explains the concepts is just horrible. I didn't learn a single thing in this class. On top of everything, it is mandatory to buy a $80+ program which you do your homework on and tests. The TA's are even worse at explaining. Try to avoid this professor at all costs.
This rating probably doesn't count for much. This class was fully online for some reason, so I honestly didn't learn a single thing. 50% of grade was homework, the rest was tests. All online though, and usually 3 attempts for online textbook homework questions. All I know is his writing is terrible, and you won't learn anything from his lectures.
Worst handwriting that I've ever seen, extremely complex explanations, class is mostly self-study if you want to pass. TA's and online tests are this class's saving grace if you absolutely have to take him.
He has some of the worst handwriting I have ever seen but is a very nice and lenient prof. My TA is extremely helpful in answering questions. Personally, I don't go to lectures and do mostly self study. All HW, midterms, and final were online.
Avoid.
