Love his lecturing style. He has a "thinking aloud" approach to setting out proofs that draws the students in as collaborators. Extremely flexible with deadlines. Highly responsive and available for a tenured professor. Count me impressed. I would take any course with this gentleman and scholar.

He's amazing. Really caring and fair. What he says is whats on the midterm and the final. He wants people to do well and proofs has never been easier.

Teaches fast, rambles through the textbooks, expect assignments, honest (admits that there were some questions on the tests that he did not taught well), waste no time (when there's time left, he goes on to the next section). Overall he is one of the best professor who tries to make a difficult concept easier to learn. Able to answer any questions.

Comment:
Math Profs at York University are poor at teaching. Prof Szeptycki isn't. He's a fair marker and his testsassignmentexams are incredibly fair. He tells you what topics he will focus on for the ExamMid-term and that simply makes him a great personteacher. Overall just a great Math prof unlike most Math profs at York University.

Comment:
He is comprehendible, but he does not get straight to the point. He goes on and on to the point that you forget what he's even talking about. Alongside that, he flies through all the chapters, not spending enough time on difficult topics such as strong induction and recursion.

Comment:
Very competent professor, excellent for pure math courses. Makes difficult concepts seem manageable. Is patient with students and doesn't overwhelm with too-difficult assignments. Still, this is a proofs course, and requires a lot of independent study. But, in the end, you will have learned a great deal of challenging math.

One of the better professors in the York Math department. Very smart guy, he's clearly on a different level then most of the students in the class, myself included. 1200 is a tough class, try and stay on top of it because it's not easy.

My average is about a B+ to an A in the mathematics program (not including this class) I may have to redo this class. It was his first time teaching it. Although he is a brilliant individual I remained confused. I only understood the material if I read the textbook and did the suggested homework. His exam and assign. were extremely hard.

Had him for 1090, 1013 and 1014. Amazing prof. By far one of the best I've had in 7 years of University. Clear, organized and fair. Not easy material, but he makes it very possible to do well if you know how to work hard. Highly recommended.

Very nice and always ready to help. He knows his stuff but this was his first year teaching MATH 1013 so a bit disorganized. Spends too much time on irrelevant "exploratory" material that doesn't help at all for the common final exam. A bit of a challenge for a first-year student who is only taking Calculus because it's compulsory.

Great Professor! Explains clearly, lectures with him are interesting. Gives quizzes every week or so, and that forces one to keep up, really helpful. If you do all your work, you will get a good mark. Prof is very helpful if you have any questions to ask, and friendly, he cares. Hope I have him in future for other math classes!
