Great guy, really funny but don't take his class if you're not a math major. He's intentionally wicked hard and I have the dent in my GPA to prove it.

As a not so good math student he made it very fun and easy to learn. By giving a situation and having us figure it out or telling a story it was fun and educational. It was great for us visual learners. My favorite teacher at the school!!

Balcomb is a really nice and easy going guy. he makes learning interesting clear and fun. howeverm he teaches the easiest concepts to you and then tests you on the hardest concepts in the subject. It is hard to know what to expect when you are in Balcomb's class.

Seems very easy at first trust me its all a lure. When its time to take a test he tests you over things you haven't done in class. He is horroible test giver and only cares about the guys who flirt back at him. However he is the easiest math prof there take that with a grain of salt

A very good teacher who's methods will definitely appeal to those "math isn't my thing" people. Responsible: tries to make sure that his students understand WHY something acts the way it does, istead of just having them memorize it. Good s
