Comment:
He is a very nice guy and it is clear that he cares how his students do in his class. He makes concepts clear and interesting, and he uses examples in class that are similar to both homework and test problems. The tests are fairly easy, and he makes it easy to get a good grade in the class if you put your time in and show up to class.

Comment:
Dr. Lvin was the best professor I have ever had in math. He is extremely clear about concepts in his class, and the expectations on his exams. If you don't show up or don't pay attention, you will not do well, but he is so clear in illustrating concepts, if you do the homework and pay attention, you wont have a issue.

Absolutely amazing professor. Takes time to cover multiple examples per class to ensure a full grasp on each subject before moving to the next. If you have a question, he is more than willing to sit down for as long as you need to understand the material at hand. His previews for exams perfectly cover test materials. Take his classes!!!

Good professor who wrote his own (cheap) textbook. Super smart and very helpful but be prepared for no partial credit.

Really awesome. Explains concepts in class and then does relevant examples. Lectures are really valuable. Tests are on what you learned in class, but he is terrible with partial credit, you'll probably get a worse grade than you expected. Homework is often out of the book, and the book isn't bad.

Definitely a good teacher. Doesn't give partial credit, but the tests are relatively easy. Homework is mandatory, which ultimately works in your favor. Go to class, take notes, ace tests.

Sergey was excellent. He was always very helpful and explained things well in his teaching. Always willing to answer any question. Exams are very reasonable, and lets you know what he expects beforehand. He did a lot of examples, which helped a lot with the homework problems. Made calc 3 relatively easy, and interesting. Would highly reccomend!

I'd rate the easiness of the class a 2.5/5 actually. I thought his lectures were pretty clear and prepared me well for the homework, and if you thoroughly reviewed the HW it adequately prepared you for the tests. Attending class was definitely necessary and helped me get the grade I did.

Was a better teacher at the beginning of the semester, but he is starting to get more confusing. He makes 258 much harder than it needs to be. He gave extra credit but it was too hard to do! Not sure if I will pass this class!

Such a tough grader!! Ive never felt so good on an exam and ended up doing so poorly!! I can't believe the lack of partial credit on his exams! the only way to pass is to be perfect which is nearly impossible

don't expect to get a good grade, teaching is excellent, lectures are thorough, but tests, homework, and quizzes are brutal. I'd sit in on his lecture and sign up for another professor. Best of both worlds. I corrected mistakes on some one from another class's test, I got a 66, they got a 92
