This was one of the best professors I have had in college. He has a slight accent but trust me youll get used to it. Lectures are usually pretty short and he gives reviews for every test including the final. Theres three midterms and a final but he drops your lowest midterm. Overall great teacher and he makes calc 3 a breeze.

Does not care much for his students, extremely rude and unhelpful. Contacting him is a bad experience and doesn't really seem interested in helping students,

The accent is thick, but you can get used to it. Took his class online during 'Rona, and he is not very tech savvy, but I will not blame him for that. Lectures were short due to online format, but he would answer questions whenever asked. His notes often have typos. 3 tests and an exam which are essentially his study reviews which is nice. Easy A.

Comment:

He has a terrible Russian accent which makes understanding him near impossible. His writing is illegible which makes the notes almost useless. Along with he doesn't explain anything so you have to self teach yourself the material. Also, there is no calculator use. DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

The accent is tough, but you don't have to attend class. He uploads the lectures online and you can teach yourself the whole class. It is not hard at all if you study once every couple of weeks.

3 exams 1 gets dropped, and a final, equal weight. No attendance grade no graded hw no textbook. 8-10 Q exams, gives VERY similar practice Qs. Handwriting/accent is tricky but he will always clarify when asked. He will teach/test you on CORE examples rather than trick you with much harder homework/test Qs. study the practice exams by heartA

Has a very thick accent and is very hard to understand. Also, his notes are not readable. Be prepared to teach yourself. The only BIG plus is that his review for the exams are almost identical to his actual exams. Also, drops the lowest test grade. Takes attendance randomly.

If someone so much as moves a chair or coughs you will not understand what he is saying. The accent is very thicc and he talks ever so softly. He sounds like a teacher on Charlie Brown. Material isnt hard but find someone else to take Calc with.

His accent is horrible. It's a VERY DEEP Russian accent. His test are graded by student graders and if you get the answer wrong, the whole answer is wrong. You have to go up to him to get partial credit. No homework and he writes on the chalkboard which you can barely read. Majority of the class only shows up for the review.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND RUSSIAN. His accent is so heavy that you can't even understand the numbers he says. His handwriting is terrible. He mumbles every word and talks very low. If you have to take 1120 pick Prof Reiter!

You only have 4 tests and he drops the lowest. He has review days before the day of the tests. Only 6- 10 questions on the tests. As far as learning the material, I learned nothing. Taking notes is horrible. Sit in the front because he has very strong accent. Be prepared to attend tutoring. Doesn't keep you in class for that long though.

Failed Calc last semester with an F this semester made an A. Most classes are 30-45 minutes long MAX for a 75 minute class. Sit in the front row and use the solution manual to answer questions you'll get extra credit. Tests are 10 Q's and so is his review he just changes the #'s for the test. 3 tests drops lowest worth 30% each. Final is 40%.

His accent made lots of students walk out the first day. But DONT. Sit up front and pay attention. You will get used to his accent. His 3 tests are 10 questions each. He has a review day where he gives you 10 questions but changes the #s for the test. He grades pretty easily. He gives EC to kids who participate. No hw. Lets class out early often.

Sit in the front and participate you'll get a extra credit. Pay attention to reviews for test and you should be able to ace every test with no effort. Done right this can be the easiest class on your schedule no matter what class you are taking. No homework just test. Easiest A I've ever gotten. Take him

This guy is awesome! I finished his class with a 98. His class consists of 4 tests. Three during the semester and one Cumulative final. He gives you the exact outline of the test the class before. I only attended test days and the review days. If you need to take Calc 2 I wouldn't take him. Easy A, but wont learn much.

I was worried about taking calculus because my last math class was college algebra, taken 2 years prior. I hardly ever went to class, and made an A. Show up to the review sessions before the tests and know the material. 3 tests and final, drops lowest test, I HIGHLY recommend.

Very thick Russian accent, but as long as you show up and pay attention, you will pass. Exams come directly from the optional homework assignments and examples done in lecture. However he also has a study guide that he gives during the class before the test, as well as the answers to it. Very funny guy. Lets class out early majority of the time.

His test are only 10 questions but the class before the test he goes over 10 question and they are the same questions that are on the test but the numbers are changed. Attendance is not mandatory but make sure you show up for the review. doesn't collect hw; I highly suggest you take him.

Nothing like he was before. Took him for Calculus 3 and he was great and just like the reviews said. This semester I took him for Differential equations and he is terrible. Teaches you one form and bring a completely different form in the exams expecting you to know how to solve it out of thin air. If you want to understand diffi Q, don't take him.

He is a good teacher, a little hard to understand, but you will pick up on things eventually. I have him now for Differential equations, but he is a little harder in that class
