Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy, but some are just not meant to teach. He is clearly an intelligent man and incredibly sweet but he is so disorganized, not to mention that his accent makes it almost impossible to understand him on the rare chance that he even gives a lecture. Most classes you work w/ groups, so hope your table is smart!!

Mwerinde is EXTREMELY hard to understand. He often makes mistakes during class when showing us how to do problems and loses his train of thought. There have been so many times where someone in my class has had to correct him. His tests are pretty hard, however one upside is that he does add on extra points to our tests if we attend class

Worst teacher I have ever had at UD. He is completely unclear. doesn't spend enough time on information. he doesn't know what he is teaching. I can't understand what he's saying. he is condescending. he doesn't respond to emails. he doesn't put up practice tests/study guides. everything is out of order. without a doubt the worst class ever.

He is not clear in explaining the course material, and it makes the class frustrating. MyMathLab will become your best friend. He has office hours and you can schedule time with him but do not expect him to help you.

Had him for Calc I over winter- he was regularly 15+ minutes late & had to be corrected on his math or method/formula by a student multiple times every single lecture. During the last week, we had an exam Monday, & then in class on Tuesday he announced another exam for Thursday. Also, Friday we had a cumulative final... 3 exams in 1 week

This class was so frustrating, I took prelacy in high school so the material wasn't that hard but if I had no prior knowledge about it, I would've really struggled with this professor

So Mwerinde is a nice guy, but his accent really makes this class hard. I personally didn't understand his teaching style and would rely on classmates to help me with homework. He often gets lost in his own problems. If can definitely try to avoid this class because you wont be prepared for the next math class

Terrible teacher. Less educated than his students. He comes to class and sits down at his desk and does not his job and teach. I want a refund for this class.

His accent is very thick, i could barely understand him. He gives in class quizzes and activities that account for 20% of your grade so you need to go to class. He is often confused and looks to the class to right his wrong. Terrible teacher and not helpful at all. Seems to be a language barrier.

If you had a good calc class in highschool you'll be fine, it is all the same stuff. If you didn't you will may struggle, maybe take it somewhere else. All of the calc profs are basically the same. Tests are department wide. Accent is a little hard to understand. Nice guy. Gives back points on quizzestests. Do homework on your own, not required.

Worst Professor I've ever had. His lectures are extremely unorganized and unclear, his accent is often too thick to understand, and he will often get confused on his own questions and require students to correct him. Prepare to teach yourself this class, because relying on his lectures for the material that will be on the test is a huge mistake.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! This class was the hardest i have taken so far. Not because of the material but because he is a horrible teacher. He rushes through the material and does not explain anything and even if you go to office hours he is worse. He is a nice guy but it is not worth the hassle.

AVOID!!! Took over winter for pre-calc. Never followed the syllabus. Would very often get confused on his own problems, only to have a student correct him. ALWAYS behind on material. We were supposed to have exams every Friday, but we wouldn't even have covered half of the material said exam was on. Rushed material in. Late responses to emails.

literally worst prof i've ever had. first online class biggest regret. does not answer emails, or does after like 4 followups. super tricky quizzes and annoying exams, doesnt give you feedback just a grade. no curves or anything. material would've probably been easier to learn in a normal class but online is hell. would not recommend.

Comment:

Patrick Mwerinde is a great person, he is very nice and genuine. Don't let his nice appearance fool you, this professor has poor teaching. Everyday we would go over maybe 1 or 2 problems and work through them as a class, keep in mind the teacher would sometimes even have trouble with the problems and everyone is confused. I do not recommend him.

Although he doesn't speak english very well, he just wants you to pass. If you focus in class you will realize its not a hard class at all. DO half the optional homework problems and you will get an A. Don't be lazy or you won't pass. He's really a nice guy who means well. if you ask for help or clarification he will help enormously.

IF YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN CALCULUS BEFORE DO NOT TAKE IT FOR YOUR FIRST TIME WITH MWERINDE. Really nice guy but extremely hard to understand. Most of the time he even trips himself up and you end up spending the whole class watching him do a single problem incorrectly. The TAs he chooses are just as bad so don't think they'll be able to save you.

Comment:

Professor Mwerinde is a super nice guy, but he is not a good professor. He does not convey the lessons well whatsoever, a thick accent definitely acts as a language barrier, and the TA's he chooses are no better. The tests and quizzes are written by the TA's, so they are very difficult. He gets confused by his own problems too. Avoid this class.
