Great professor. Knows how to derive pretty much every equation used and he shows you in class so you really understand what is going on. He is very helpful outside of the classroom a really great guy. If you get him in the fall you will get a surprise on halloween. Projectslabs are awesome. Take this guy.

Comment:
Professor Aboufadel does a great job going in-depth on all topics covered. He gives time every class to check the ungraded homework from the previous class, and will walk the class through a few problems before starting his next lecture, which is basically just a series of new problems to walk you through.

Comment:
Basic Calc 1 class. Some of this teaching methods are a little childish, but he does know what he is talking about. The homework in class is not mandatory, but you will have a hard time keeping up in class if you do not do it. The projects for this class are very minimal as well.

He's Grand Valleys Math Board of Directors so he is really strict and by the books. I was doing alright until the final exam, which was a bunch of things he crammed into the end. A lot of group work. Don't recommend.

Comment:
Good teacher with a weird sense of humor. Very clear; sometimes he goes too fast, but just ask questions and he'll slow down and re-explain. MUST go to class because he collects "homework tickets" and gives small quizzes virtually every day. They aren't very many points, but they add up very quickly.

Great teacher. even if you're not very good at math, he's a good teacher to take this class with. He explains things better than any other math teacher I've ever had, and is always willing to give you extra help. do the homework even though it's not required and go to class and you should do fine

He's a really nice person, and is really smart, but his class was really difficult for me. There was a fair amount of homework and a quiz every week, just make sure you do the homework! The quiz points add up fast, so start off right. His final exam was impossible though.

The class wasn't bad if you actually put the work into it. The proof portfolio turns out to be pretty easy if you start it right away and turn in your drafts. You do have to go to class though because the book does not explain things well and he does a pretty good job and gives lots of examples.

Dr. A is a great teacher. He explains material thoroughly and cares about the students doing well. You have to come to class because the book is not very helpful.

I was really looking forward to this class, but came out feeling a little cheated. He uses Maple a lot - didn't help me one bit! I went to his office a lot for help, and felt like he thought I was somewhat unintelligent. Although I felt he explained things well in class, his tests always seemed really hard. Be prepared to work for your grade.

Comment:
very large emphasis on computer use. exams include using "MAPLE". uses many examples, but simplest of examples only. does well to help those who don't have a clue, but if you understand mostly and ask for clarification, he doesn't answer. good if you don't have a clue, but other than that, it's mostly "look what MAPLE can do".

Excellent professor, sometimes kinda weird in explaining things if you ask a question in his office or in class. Gives a lot of points to work with. Isn't very leinient with mistakes and doesn't do extra credit. You could think you'd get an A, but you wont. Puts a lot of points in the last 2 weeks.

OMG! TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE! This class was supposed to be easy (or so I was told) but he makes it hard! If you have to take this class AVOID HIM! If you have him for anything else I guess he'd be ok.
