Lectures were difficult and proofs often skipped multiple steps. Tests and exams were really tough. My only C as a student was with this professor...

Horrible teacher. His notes are nothing special. He has no grading scheme and marks everyone differently. His tests are too long and too hard to be completed in the allotted time. Avoid!

He's an okay...Go over the exercises he does in class and the problems he recommends doing from the book. Make sure that you have the book as well as the solutions manual and do not ask stupid questions in class unless you're ready for possible embarrassment.

Comment:
2 words: OH DEAR. His notes are NOT BAD but many problems arise: His assignments are HANDWRITTEN, hard & with some mistakes. He is rude to students most times, thinks that we are stupid & he is smart yet the mistakes he makes in class are FATAL & he denies it! Come to his OH and he will make you feel DUM for the questions you ask. AVOID

Comment:
i don't know what to say.. he sometimes is nice, sometimes he's not! He has good intentions, you can see that. But he just can't help making fun of students.. and he definitely has preferences, he doesn't even hide it. i didn't enjoy his class very much. His exams are TOO HARD!

Comment:
He's a good teacher, lectures are very clear and well-organized. He will do a lot to help his students, you just have to be willing to be helped: attend classes and his tutorials and go see him if you need. He really cares about his students (knows all 120 names and faces by heart the second week of school - impressive)

He is such an ASS, just don't take him. He is mean, and he doesn't help you at all. He doesn't know how to teach and like to make fun of your name. Very Bad!!!

Comment:
very tough, thinks too far ahead of himself so he makes a lot of mechanical errors but its really not a big deal. don't see how his personal dislike of you could affect a grade...its math, its right or its wrong. good guy over all, calls simple mathematical truths beautiful and profound and makes everything very interesting.

Comment:
Unorganized. Poor quality of lectures. Handwritten, often unclear assignments with mistakes in it. Elitist, has a superiority complex, and he is unable to admit his mistakes. The subject he teaches is very interesting but most students end up learning material by themselves using a textbook.

Material presented in orderly fashion in each lecture, and over the course of semester. His courses are not easy to pass, but then the subject matter isn't basket weaving, is it?

Very unclear and very demanding, although his own solutions are full of errors. If he doesn't like you personally, forget about good grade!
