Comment:
Bruce is a good teacher - he shows techniques in class that are key for doing well on the exams. If you have some issues, he is there to help! At the end of the day, the student needs to do practice outside of class and that should be obvious for any math class. Overall, I really enjoyed Calculus 2 with Mr. Aubertin. Thank you

Comment:
His assignment questions and practice exams were much easier than his actual exams. He is so disorganized and taught the subjects in the most random order. He'll have questions worth 10 marks and not award part marks. Avoid at all costs. I took cal AP and got a B but still found his class extremely difficult. WORST PROF!!!!!

Comment:
Professors neglected to teach us chapter 8, series, properly. Instead he gave us a series package and we have to go online to see the fill-in the blanks answers. The way he teaches does not keep up in pace with what we have to complete in the course syllabus. From the last day of classes to the final, we have to teach ourselves sections 8.1-8.7

Comment:
Great guy, bad teacher. Disorganized classes, never concludes a though properly, just keeps opening remarks on top of remarks. It is hard to know which subject or chapter he is talking about at any given time because he goes back and forth constantly. Homework and tests A LOT harder than what we see in class. Expect to learn everything by yourself.

Bruce is a nice guy, but his lectures aren't organized and he talks about himself most of the time. His homework and exams are extremely difficult, so I would recommend having your basics solidified before taking this course.

Comment:
Bruce is eccentric, but fun. It is easy to concentrate in his class as he keeps it interesting. You do need to know your math from the previous course (even if that's math 12) in order to truly do well, but that's expected. His few pieces of homework are generally harder than the exam which helps. Would love to have him teach all my math courses.

Bruce is an incredible man. A lot of you sleep on him because of his unconventional and "disorganized" teaching style, but he takes time to solidify the main concepts of Calculus. I can't wait to have more classes with him. If you want to know how Calculus is useful in the real world, take him!!

Comment:
Bruce is very nice. His lecture is sometimes confusing and not well-organized. But his assignments and tests are fair and helpful. To do well in his class you need self-studying ability or work very hard. First time learner would find it hard to follow. Recommend taking Bruce for retaking a class.

Comment:
He's funny but as a result would go off on a tangent of a memory he had for 5-10mins then get back to the course material. He expects you to know right away the concepts he teaches. The material he covers seems scrambled as well You don't know what parts of the book he is teaching from. He is always 10mins late cause he needs his coffee every class

An interesting guy. He gave our section 5 assignments over the first half of the course, which were quite long. Myself and some other classmates who are around B level students, took an average of 4 hours per assignment. The assignments do however prepare you for midterms to a decent degree, just be ready for lots of late nights.

Comment:
He is an experienced, passionate instructor, while his outline for this course is a bit unclear. Some sections are covered over and over, and the sequence is confusing. Assignments are useful to pass the exams, while the midterms are more tricky than those assignments. If you follow his lectures and understand the rules, you'll be fine.

Gives easy practice exams which don't compare to actual exams. Lectures difficult to understand. Says he wants everyone to get an A but when average is 55%, he doesn't blink. I got an A in pre-calculus but that didn't help. Save yourself from excruciating lectures and avoid.

He is really passionate about maths and funny too. He explains the concept to the depth. His assignments helps a lot in preparing for exams. I recommend everyone to take his classes but if you dont have any basic knowledge about calculus then you should take another professors because it will be difficult to do assignments if you havent did calc.

What a great course! I recommend this prof because his exams are based on the assignments and past exams. His lectures were interesting since he only does examples to explain a concept. Overall, Bruce is hilarious and helpful by providing past exams which they were a lifesaver. However, the textbook was useless. The notes and past exams were enough

Took his class last term and 80% of the people are either sleeping or on their phones. If you took Calculus before, you'll be fine(to some extend). If you haven't, expects to learn everything yourself. Boring jokes, smokes between classes, confusing lectures, but provide old exams for practice(the only thing that's helpful). skipping is fine

Comment:
Currently taking calculus with him, I've done well in high school pre-calculus with an A, and also took a preview of course of Calculus online. Bruce is very confusing, and expects you to immediately understand something after it's been taught. I thought to myself before taking a course with him, how bad can he be? Don't do it if you have a choice.

If you have already taken calculus in high school, you might find his lecture a tad boring. He spent many classes talking about graphs, and he then completely breeze over limits, and derivatives. His approach to related rates is very interesting though. According to my peers, his midterm was hard, but IMO, it was fair
