Mr chapman is the greatest math teacher ever.
He was an alright teacher, although strange for math because he was heavy on remembering definitions. When I studied I studied the definitions more than the math. Take the homework seriously. If you don't do it you won't pass.
Nice and caring professor. Willing to help with no questions asked. Went to his OH for help and went to CLAS. Lecture goes by quick and he tries to explain his lectures really quick. Usually have a few typos and mistakes but he addresses it right away. Great professor.
I took him in the fall as well and completely bombed his class. I retook the class in the spring and literally he changed everything. His lectures were easier to follow, iclickers were implemented helped with overall grade and gave a very clear idea of what was expected of you on final and midterm. I would take another class with him now.
Took this class in the fall, and was one of the people who rated him really low. I retook the class with him last spring quarter and his format completely changed. No more 20 true/false questions, or 10 in verbatim definitions. He now has a clear grading structure and he won't quiz you on things he never taught. Midterms and final were very fair.
Chapman gets a lot of negative reviews, but he isn't an awful professor. His slides are very wordy and he does not get his point across clearly BUT his tests are very straightforward - no tricks or confusion at all! Just follow his study guides and you will do fine. Go to office hours too. Finally, keep up with the online homework assignments.
