Comment:
In PDEs I found him to be extremely helpful. He took class time to address a concern of mine If he comes across rude you might just be a pansy He is willing to help at any time and even responded to my emails immediately at night. Basically if you fail it is not this guys fault he'll go pretty far out of his way to help you

Comment:
tests were unable to complete in the given time, he didn't scale test grades even when the class average was a 45%. the majority of my class had to retake the class, where 6 passed and 22 failed. plus he is able to get away with this because he is the math department head "the boss". worst professor I've ever had. STAY AWAY!!!!!

Bill Bray is the man. As long as you take notes and pay attention you will get a good grade. All you have to do is study. Oh, and by the way, 66 is a C which is defined as AVERAGE, so get over yourself and the padding you've been used to since freshman year of high school.

Comment:
Bill Bray cannot teach, he gets the information across too quickly and when questions are asked after class he tells you to go to the math lab or to get a tutor, doesnt even bother to want to help, and not to mention failing his class made me lose my dean's merit scholarship, thanks bill bray!!!!!!

If your looking to waste time and money and still fail, he's your man. Horrible at teaching although very smart. Moves too fast and test problems are not related to book at all. Finds an average test grade of 66 acceptable and chuckles about it.

Comment:
Billy Bray is a good natured Math professor with a good sense of humor and who clearly knows what he's teaching, but the classes often times move at far too fast a pace. He is fairly clear and quite helpful, but sometimes he just can't go down a level to help those who don't quite get it a his rapid pace.

Not a really nice guy. His class is the hardest class I have taken at this school yet. He took forever returning tests and didn't even return some of our projects. He is smart and knows what he is talking about but the tests are too hard.

Comment:
Numerous typos in his notes and on the final caused me a lot of frustration. If someone asked about a hw problem, he'd sometimes do too much of it so we didn't always have the chance to figure it out on our own. He helped make the material interesting, though.
