Worst prof. Avoid at all cost. His homework on Mobius are awful and some of it is stuff he didn't even teach in class. He thinks we're all mathematicians.

He may not give too many examples but if you did well in high school calculus, you'll be fine. He teaches what you need to know, gives an example or two and moves on. Ask questions, he'll answer helpfully. Don't forget your Mobïus!!

MAT 1730 is no walk in the park, I did well on the first midterm, failed the second and had to work very hard in order to do well on the final. You need to go to class since he write all his notes on the board and his online notes are not always the same as the ones he writes in class.

It seems some students have their own problems with this good professor. I don't like his hand writing, but he is super honest, impartial, and moreover he never discriminated. He works hard inside class. Please be fair when you rate this professor.

Overall good prof. The homework is MUCH harder than what you see on exams. Don't know why people are so harsh about the class difficulty! The prof will always post a past exam online and the questions are literally the same but different numbers. Only thing that sucks is his handwriting! But notes are posted online. 9/10 recommend. GO TO THE DGD'S!

Not a very good teacher. Exams are super hard. The best you will like in him : he treats all students equally, without privileging any group of students. Then he deserves AWESOME.

Comment:
average prof, handwriting got worse as the semester progressed so try and sit in the front if you can. mobs questions are harder than the material learned in class but are great for practice. midterms were basically the same as the practical exams he put on brightspace but the final was a bit harder

He is very smart and courteous. You might not like him only at the beginning. If I see him I would suggest to bring assistant teaching professors to dept of math who can only focus on teaching instead of research.

I liked him to the fullest because he treats all students equally. It is true his exams are hard, but if you drop by his office he will respond to you very positively. Just go to class and follow his notes then you will do well.

Comment:
Absolutely terrible prof, the worst one I've had in three years. He may as well be talking to himself during lectures. Can't complete a full sentence without going off on tangents. His writing is complete trash and he makes no effort to make it even slightly legible. His posted notes and solutions aren't any different. Dropped class after 1 month.

Comment:
The class was tougher than Calculus 2 taken in the Winter Term. He has difficulty seeing which makes it hard to get an answer to a question. He's very entertaining and can make the material seem easy but when doing the homework it is much more difficult and abstract. Barely passed.

Not an easy class but he does know his material very well. Hard grading but the teacher is teaching a very hard subject. The prof is very nice and if you did well in grade 12 calculus you will be more than fine. Supper smart man. Overall good professor.

Professor Benoit Dionne is a really great professor who knows what he is teaching and makes sure you know what to practice for the tests. His behaviour is hilarious at times which keeps the class a little light. the class is an easy one, just listen and show up to take notes.
