He is happy you go to his office hour but I do not he can teach the text clearly although the book is written by him. Sometimes his logic is misunderstanding.

Since he wrote the book, it was obvious that he knew the material really well. The approach he takes really eases you into the material that is so different from past math courses I've taken. Section is twice a week, which REALLY helps. Homework is manageable and tests are fair. If you take Math 8, take it with him!

gerstein was a pretty good prof. he explained a lot in class and gave pretty decent lectures. tests were challenging, but fair, and there was a good curve. not too much hw- its helpful to do it anyway.

Took him for a class intended to prepare math majors for UD classes. He expects a lot, and the class itself is difficult but having section 2 times/week and attending office hours is helpful. He is difficult at times to follow but not terrible. From reading other reviews, my feeling is that he teaches more advanced material better.

He cannot teach. His lectures make no sense. Go to CLAS instead of lecture and the tests will be pretty easy.

loved him!! he's really funny, and a little random but that makes lecture easy to sit through. the material is not that bad once you get the hang of it.
