Comment:
Frank Zorzitto is such a great instructor! Had the honour of taking two classes with him! His "This's Mickey Mouse" is too classic! He is so genuine and so easy to talk to. If you needed help and went to his office hours he will patiently explain over and over again! Hope he comes back to teach in the future!

Comment:
Zorzitto is the best of the three calculus professors I have had. His notes are very useful and his class progression is his own marble David. He walks in circles around the room and leans into students desks to address then briefly while lecturing with upmost liveliness. Great at teaching advanced sections!

He loves teaching, he was always doing his best to teach something new and necessary to students. Every time he helps the students outside of class, even before or after office hours. He made me love this course.

Professor Zorzitto is hilarious! I am not a fan of calculus but he made calculus very understandable with his clear explanations (sometimes redundant but I felt that the repetition actually helped me).

Terrible proofs they're not rigorous at all and his lectures are difficult to follow because he's so unorganized. I would not recommend this professor for any higher level courses.

My favourite math prof at UW! Such a funny guy, and he's so talented at explaining concepts. You can also tell he cares a lot about his students. After the marks varied a lot on the midterm he was so generous that he changed the marking scheme so that if your final was better than your midterm, it would be worth 75% instead of 60%. Such boss. Wow.

Amazing prof! Very enthusiastic and actively engages the class in the lesson. Writing can be a bit sloppy sometimes, but his printed notes are very clear and detailed enough to make up for it, and his explanations just make sense. His assignments will really make you think!

Awesome prof, highly recommended! The way he phrased things was funny (often appeared in mathNEWS profquotes!). He explained concepts very clearly. He wanted students to succeed. He really knew his stuff.

A good prof. He does everything the way it should be done, thus good at scholarstic. He is easy going and are helpful outside of class. He only talk to the front row, so if you want to take his class, make sure you take the front row. He also tries to find example that is common and easy to understand. He also post all his notes, which is convient.

Comment:
Too hand-wavy. Sometimes he skipped a proof, which was relatively important, and said to just read the notes online. Also he didn't leave any room for students to think, all the material was presented without interacting with the class at all. Good at clarifying stuff afterwards, but not so good at presenting it. Not a bad prof though.

He spends a lot of time reviewing the previous class and so we miss some material. Also, his notes blackboard notes are sloppy and he gives some different proofs than the ones shown in the text. However, he's pretty funny and is really good at engaging the class.

Comment:
He could be great at teaching regular classes, but should not teach advanced classes. His approach to bellcurving is making the exams easy. His proofs contain far too many heuristics. His assignments are frustrating because he just tells you what to do, eliminating any original thought. Spends 10 minutes each class reviewing the previous class

He skipped a lot of material, so I had to catch up by looking at textbooks or online stuff. And sometimes just too many things squeezed in too little time... hard to understand...
