One of the best professor in the university! Very respectful to his student & he really want to see you succeed. Very kind, humble and understanding. If you will watch all his video tutorials on urcourses, you can easily get an A+ on this class. I would really take a class with him again.

Comment:

I was always in class thinking 'he isn't a bad guy and is a pretty good prof'. THINK AGAIN, His assignments are usually fair but hard and the knowledge you gain from doing the assignments won't help you on the tests. To put the cherry on top, his marking is absolute trash. Im quite positive there was no curve. Class average in the class was 58.8

He keeps you entertained but sometimes very unclear. He often expects more from his students then he should. Isn't all that gracious but definitely fair. The class is worth going to but the labs aren't (I went to every one). Do the assignments and you should be fine. I didn't and still passed but I wish I did.

Good professor. He is nice, helpful and careful in explaining to you. His lectures are boring. But if you have problems, come to see him in his office hours. He will explain and help you thoroughly. The exams are not too difficult.

He's a really nice prof and is willing to help his students. However his midterms are harder than the quizzes he gives so don't underestimate how easy it might be.

Comment:

Farenick is an amazing prof with excellent knowledge of mathematics. However, his class is no cakewalk. He makes you work for your grades and is fair and honest. When you're stuck on a certain question and take it to his office he will walk you through it step by step, but if it is an assignment question, he will guide you in the right direction

While this class was really difficult, I loved going to it because he was funny and charming! He was very understanding when I came to him wanting to raise my final mark. I only wish I could have done better. Will take another class with him.

Comment:

Linear Algebra is not an easy class, but Dr.Farenick teaches it incredibly well. He answers all questions thoroughly, but occasionally loses some people with the terminology; that's why he tests on terminology: it's needed knowledge. I wouldn't have passed the class without him, and likely wouldn't understand Linear Algebra.

Poor prof. Does not do enough examples in class or teach you enough to do the assignments. Midterms are not like assignments . Avoid if possible

Doug was a great math prof, as a first year student i was not sure what to expect. Doug was very helpful and extremely approachable. He always seemed to be in a good mood and made class more interesting with his jokes. Although the class was sometimes tough, i feel like i learned alot. Overall, i would HIGHLY reccomened having Doug as a professor.

Awesome prof, made class fun and enjoyable every day. Always makes the class laugh with his goofy jokes and sense of humour. Although midterms were difficult I learned a lot and enjoyed class. I didn't think the final was unreasonable hard. I would strongly recommend Doug as a prof.
