Comment:
Good sense of humour and he knew the material very well. However he was impossible to understand and his teaching method includes mostly formal math with very little explanation. This made MAT237, an already difficult course, -extremely- difficult.

He's a very kind professor. He explains things well and is energetic, especially for his age. He even forced himself to teach while he was sick one time. He acted with dignity when the class was disrespectful. He knew his content well and did a good job explaining.

Comment:
Prof Stanczak is knowledgeable and funny. He does have an accent but you get used to it after a while. His notes are crystal clear. I learned so much from his class and taking it was one of the best decisions I made all year! He could, however, work on being more approachable. Also, the class is pretty tough - be prepared to work hard.

Comment:
Have u ever wanted to die? Cuz u will if u take 237 with Stan. He will make u go to hell and back be4 he can give ur 35% a boost of 15% to make u pass. The course is ridiculous and on top the harsh marking make it un-bearable even for a top-notch student. His 1st 3 lessons were all about teaching us how to drop and how he would barbarically kill us

Comment:
Taking MAT237 w/ Stan is like being beaten in the crotch repeatedly with a baton. Rather than go through all that is wrong with how this man executes the course (too long), just know that at the start of the year there were about 150 students taking the course, and at the end there are about 50. That tells you there's definitely SOMETHING wrong.

Comment:
I couldn't understand his lectures due to his heavy accent and incomprehensible handwriting. Some other people didn't mind, though. It's not a big deal for MAT137 because you can go to one of a million lectures for identical teaching material, so I just went to Sean Uppal's lecture instead.

very FUNNY! the way he talks and explains the materials with his unique accent makes the whole class laugh. Don't laugh too hard though, cuz once you realize he might be talking bout serious stuff, it's too late; you're so behind and the semester's done .

That dude has photographic memory. I was in his office to ask him about my final grade. I spat out my name, then he replied: "you barely passed". Sweet stuff! He has heavy accent like all Math-Russan Gurus, but funny guy. Oh yeah, horrible teaching, better read before the stupid lecture! Can't find GRAADIENT anywhere in teh book!

I like Stanczak, the man cracked me up. I really liked the way that he made no apologies about his teaching style. If you understood the material, you understood Stanczak, if you didn't understand, you probably didn't have a clue what he was talking about. Some people didn't like it, but I wish more professors had the balls to teach that way.

"HELLO ADVANCED CALCULUS STUDENTS! E TO THE MINUS Ln 2!" "A FATAL MISTAKE" I have never had a professor that can make the entire class laugh... Most professors try to be funny and just the keeners in the front row snicker, but stanczak can cause a riot explaining derivatives. ie: "And what is this....? GGGRRRAAADDDIIIEEENNNTTT F!" *class la

This prof's the best professor ever! Puts random emphasis on random words to help with the learning experience. I still remember all about VECTOR! calculus and it's been a year!

he need to make students understand what he is talking is more important than just making himself understand what he is trying to say in lectures!
