Comment:
Such a cute, old, man. He truly wants to help but I think the way the course is set out, his inability to control the class due to his hearing problems, and some barriers in communicating info made this difficult. This course is very reliant on the text book. Do the text problems and go for extra help where he is best at communicating info.

Quinn is absolutely hilarious however his classes are hard to follow and his text is full of mistakes/misprints. His exam handouts are very helpful and the only reason I passed.

Dr. Quinn is awesome. Makes calculus entertaining, although he's deaf as a post. He had a few entertaining demonstrations, which also made he kind of nervous at the same time. Very helpful, and really took pride in my work I did in his class. Excellent prof- take him.

JPQ you are the man. Funny prof and keeps math interesting. He was my favorite prof first year. Final Calc exam is a little tricky though.

This guy is my all-time favourite prof. He was hillarious and very friendly. At least to me he was. He sometimes picked on the dumber ones, but made it funny. He marks extremely well and I always felt he had great pride in my work. Take him, he's the best.

Comment:
He really wants everyone to do well in his class, but sometimes it's hard to understand the material he tries to cover in class. He's not very clear with it most times, but I still made a really decent mark. He's really helpful outside of class and all together a very nice prof.

He's an adorable old man, and really wants his students to do well, but he's not very clear in lecture. He's very helpful outside class though, and even more coherent just at the end of class. He works much better one on one.

Comment:
Class confused me more then helped me. Outside class he is very helpful. Will sit down and go over questions with you. His assignments are worth almost nothing and take forever. Quizes aren't hard but go over the stuff because its hard to remember the work from high school. 90% of the work was learned in high school. He cracks a joke once in awhile

Comment:
he is a horrible prof compared to the other math profs. if u can take another prof, plz do so. he just doesn't kno how to explain math to the students and u come out completely confused. he's funny at times, but its just cuz he's an old man. the only good thing is that there is a rather small amount of work to do.

Comment:
Worst professor ever. I struggle and math, but I still do well in all of my math/stats courses, until I enrolled in this one. The majority of the class failed the midterm, why? because he gave NO points for figuring out the question in detail, just marks for the correct answer. DO NOT TAKE!!!

super. assignments are wicked hard, but all classes have the same ones. dr quinn is eager to help and genuinely excited about the world of mathematics; terrific with giving partial marks and not overly hung up on answer format

An extremely knowledgable and likable prof. Pay attention in his class if you want to do well. Doesn't like those who refuse to even try, but if you're willing to put effort in, he'll help you as long as you want.
