Comment:
Extremely clear, extremely easy to understand. Always explained with sufficient depth so you understood the principles. Didn't jump around and confuse you. Homework was optional. I usually did all of it the week before the test and I got an A on every one. Sweet man, makes calculus understandable and usable.

If you can sign up for a class with a different professor, do so. If he is the only option, don't take the class.

Comment:
I like him as a teacher, there were just two things I didn't like about his class. One was the fact that he gives only two prelim tests. It's hard to gauge how you are going to do for the rest of the year when the 2'nd test is a week before the final. 2: The problems are recommended. Recommended problems means doing everything before the test.

Comment:
Impossible tests, this guy loves to ruin GPA's. On prelim 2, 21 of 68 people got below a 40 with only 2 count it 2! people getting a 90 or above. He writes in an obnoxious cursive and doesn't really explain anything to be quite honest. Again if you think your GPA is too high, this is the guy for you.

Great teacher, very clear in concepts! Grade based on tests and quizzes - only counted best 5 of 8 quizzes! No homework graded, but recommended. Attendance not mandatory but he covers important material every class.

Comment:
He taught this course (abstract math) for the first time and did a pretty good job. The book isn't overly usefull so you need to go to classes even though they're not mandatory. pretty much knew what was coming on the tests and he prepared you very well for them. go to class and pay attention + do the homework + study the day b4 tests = A

Comment:
Snyder is a good math professor, he is clear on the concepts and goes by the book. Homeworks and attendance are not required, however if you want to do well in the class, then you have to do them. The grade is based mainly on tests and quizzes and he drops the lowest one. I would highly recommend Snyder to anyone looking to take a math course.

Great professor, nice guy. Attendance was not mandatory, but I would not recommend skipping as a lot of material is covered each day.

Very nice but not very helpful. The notes were pretty unclear and he seemed pretty oblivious to the fact that some of us weren't doing well. He seemed unconcerned with the progress of his students.

Great professor. Genuinely concerned if you do well. Lectures are very clear and organized. Makes hard material easy to understand. Clear on what he expects on tests as well. Tough class if you don't do the suggested homework problems though.
