Comment:
I've never taken a calc class before.Before attending this class,I considered myself to be above average at math.He made me feel stupid.When asked, he does NOT explain where and how he gets the answers.His teaching style clearly did not fit my learning needs.Goes to show how people learn differently on this site;don't count on every review you read

Comment:
I had an extemely hard time in this class. If you are person that has to have things step by step in math, I don't recommend this teacher. If math comes pretty easy to you, then take him. There are quizzes given every class period except the day before a test. They are simple if you do the suggested problems and study what was done in class.

Comment:
I did not comprehend quite all of the material in this class. Yet, I do not think it was due to his lack of teaching skills. This was my second time to take the class, and Feistel was crystal clear compared to the previous professor. I hate the material in the class, but I would recommend him as a professor.

Comment:
He is not that great of a teacher. He does not explain stuff. When he is telling you about the chapter. He writes the question on the board and then the answer and leaves you hanging with no explanation. I am going to the aarc and to another professor during his office hours just to get by in the class so i can pass.

Comment:
Calculus is hard, but Feistel made it easier. Attendance is not required, homework isn't graded. Lectures are boring, but contain all the info you'll need. Take good notes, read the chapters, do your homework, and you'll be fine. An A is doable.

I didn't have a hard time, it got a little more difficult toward the end, but nothing impossible. 3 tests and a final, quizzes everyday( but drops 4), he never misses class. Tests are exactly like the homework and quizzes, especially the quizzes(hmwk optional). Go to class take the notes, take advantage of the SI. Fairly easy, I got an A.

He is a good teacher. You must attend class if you want to make a good grade. Just go to class and take the quizzes and you will do fine. I really enjoyed him and the class.

Teaches fast, try not to miss class or you will fall easliy behind. Helpful when answering questions, especially during office hours. Quizzes are helpful, study them before tests for a good review.

dont take for 144. homework is not like his examples and quizes are not like the homework. you have a quiz everyday and they count a lot. gives no extra credit and wont do anything to help you pass the class if you are struggling except to say go to the aarc. most of the people in my class made either a D of F.

hasnt taught in 15 years!!! he was HORRIBLE! I made straight A's throughout high school and I made a D in this class! He doesnt believe in calculators so he doesnt show you how to use them to make things easier. He doesnt explain things well at all. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

This professor is a very nice person and will help during office hours. He works many examples, but he does not tell you what he does he just does it without explaining. This makes it very hard to understand. He grades very hard on his test too.

His class was very hard. Math is my strong point, but I really struggled in his class. He does give many examples, but he doesn't explain how things go together. He is a nice guy, and he does have his office open for help, but it is a challenging course. Take at your own risk.

this guy is probably the best math teacher at sfa. He definitely knows what he's taking about, and will give you credit for attempting problems (which can mean pass or fail in the math dept)

He seems really boring and he is but he is a really nice and approachable man.His class is easy but the material can be hard a times. Make an effort to get to know him and it will help even more. Hes the only one you should take.
