Comment:
Nice guy, but very hard to follow. Better-suited for higher-level math courses; lost sight of what vector calc students know. You'll end up teaching yourself calculus, and leaving class confused. Take home exams were a bit tricky, final was in-class and impossible. Curved. You won't learn what you need for later, but your grade might be ok.

I thought Dr. Parks was a good teacher. He obviously cared his students were learning and did not assign much homework - but enough to work on the skills we needed to know. I would reccommend him for a future math class.

Comment:
Received an A in the class. About a 30% curve on the nasty final. A fair (perhaps liberal) grader. Funny professor, certainly knows what he is teaching. He goes over your head a lot, but he can clarify. Was often very confusing and made me feel like I was going to fail. Grade is composed of two midterms and one final, all equal weight.

Easy to follow and understand. Practice exams are exactly like the exam.

Hal Parks was a great professor and was super funny, if you have a chance to take him for any math class do it! His exams are hard but his practice exams give you a great idea of what he expects you to know.
