Comment:
Honestly speaking, i tried my level best to understand the subject. Despite not skipping a single class, I had a terrible time understanding everything that was discussed in class. Please refrain from this course unless you already know the subject and need to take it for the credits.

Comment:
First part of the class is simple, but gets harder. Material gets lost in all the text/formulas, and speaks softly sometimes so its sometimes hard to hear. I wouldn't recommend him unless you plan on going the office hours, it was the only way I was able to do the homework.

Comment:
the first few weeks and the quizzes are easy, variations of the Home work. Last few weeks are ridiculous and the final only covers those 3 weeks class average dropped 20 points on the final alone, and he scaled on 3 points on it.

Stay away from this guy if you can at all help it! He flies through material that he refuses to explain. If you ask a question in class he responds "you should know that". Throws arbitrary math up on the board, skipping numerous steps in between. The last 3 weeks of class are hell, as he doesn't convey what you're actually doing whatsoever. AWFUL!

Not a bad professor... Good lecturer, though mostly straight from the book. Exams are easy, not an extremely challenging class and you end up leaving the class with pretty good knowledge about the subject.

Comment:
Useless professor. Doesn't offer anything in his lectures that you can't read from the book. His tests are 80% multiple choice, so any question you miss is 2% off your final average. The tests don't always reflect the material covered in the course, or they're based on some obscure sentence or line from the book. Dont take this guys classes.

Not a nice guy at all. very unhelpful if you go to see him in his office hours. not willing to give back points on tests even when you did something right and were marked wrong. stands by the TA no matter what. he has no spine. hard to understand, teaches to the board, and writes way to small. overall poor experience with this guy.

Starts early and ends late. Class seems to last like 2 hours. He goes really fast through the material and you barely have time to write everything down. You won't learn a whole lot, but if you take good notes, you'll do fine on the hw, quizzes and exams, which are not too bad.

Goes VERY fast in lecture. You have time to jot it down in class, but not necessarily learn it. Seems intelligent. Homework can be a little hard at times, but the quizzes are always like the more simple problems. Gives a chance for extra credit on a few quizzes. Do well on the quizzes, and you won't have to worry about the final much.

refuses to answer questions during lecture, writes way too small and doesn't talk loud enough to hear. Basically copies the text onto the board. Smart guy, but refuses to admit that anyone else can be right. Doesn't explain ANYTHING. DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM!

Comment:
Lecture was not worth going to, he basically rewrote what was in the book on the board. No helpful verbalization of the concepts either. A very dry professor. I do not recommend any of his classes. Tests weren't impossible but bad enough to hate the course.

Comment:
The guy himself is 100% unwilling to help students unless you pry information out of him. Numerous times I went to see him in his office, and he couldn't take 5 seconds to explain a simple concept. Will not negotiate grades, everything is black and white to this guy. Clearly, he belongs at WPI...

VERY good professor. He can get going pretty fast during lecture, but he really is an excellent professor. He knows his stuff, his quizzes aren't impossible, and he's a very nice guy in class...he actually answers your questions when you have one.
