Comment:

This class was unbearable. 3 homework assignments a week, hours of lectures to watch before each class meeting, and mandatory zoom attendance made this class far exceed the time commitment one should expect for a four credit course. I enjoyed all of the other Calculus classes at Lehigh, but Napier's class killed my desire to learn.

Professor Napier is the smartest professor I have ever met, regardless of subject. He truly cares about the material and his students' success. Tests are fair, and expect a lot of homework during this course. Professor Napier will answer any question and stick around during office hours to make sure his students really understand the material.

Listen, I only have his video lectures to speak of but here I go. He seems like a really nice guy and good lecturer, he goes on a tangent sometimes, and also shows proofs a lot you really don't need tbh. My only gripe is that his video lectures are shot in like 240p... Can a university not provide this man a good webcam?

Prof. Napier is the best lecturer that I have this semester. He does quality, in depth examples in his lectures that really help to explain the material. He is one of the smartest people I have ever met (kinda, since I only see him over zoom) and genuinely seems to enjoy teaching this class. I would happily take the class again

Literally a genius. No matter the question he will do anything in his power to help you reach an answer. He will assign a lot of homework but it will only help you and don't use Chegg to copy answers. He does speed through the last sections (the hardest) which are practically what the final is on. Don't take MATH033, it is unnecessarily difficult.

Literally the nicest professor in the math department. He is such a sweet man who is too smart for literally everyone. He likes to explain proofs in class that might not be necessary but he is willing to help anyone in office hours. Also he usually makes the test so if you have him you will probably do better.

An amazing, respected, dedicated teacher. He really cares about what he teaches you and whether you get it or not. Take him any chance you get. However, don't take MATH 033. It is absurdly hard and even his impressive teaching prowess will only help you so much. You don't need the ego boost, just take regular MATH 023 and skip the honors.

I loved this professor. He always carries a step stool with him to reach the top of the white board and says "oh raspberries" when he makes a mistake. He is an adorable little man but really knows the math well. He is easy to understand and stays on top of the schedule. He really cares about his students and is very good at giving useful examples.

Professor Napier truly cares about his students and their success, and it shows through his preparation for each lecture. Although the honors material is challenging, it makes the non-honors material feel much easier (which is more frequent on exams).

Math023 is a difficult class and will eat up a lot of your time. Professor Napier has a deep understanding of the material at hand. He knows his students' names and is my first professor (sophomore) who I feel like has truly cared about me. GREAT GUY. I learned a ton, thanks professor Napier!

Great at providing plenty of examples during lecture to illustrate the concepts and explains the theoretical aspects of the material well which creates a nice blend. His class is tough and you have to work hard to do well but if you put in the effort, then you can do well, learn a lot, and gain from having a challenging and beneficial experience.

Comment:

His lectures are actually stressful to go to in that he is half yelling sometimes, stares at the board looking very concerned, and jogs from one end of the board to the other. He assigns far too much homework (both online and written which are especially long and tedious). His "very clever" and "great" hw and exam problems can be found online??

Extremely nice guy and great professor. Can sometimes be confusing because he is too smart. Lectures can go slightly too fast. Assigns 3 homework assignments a week which can get a little tedious.

One of the kindest and caring professors ever. He is way too smart to teach the course, so sometimes the lectures can get confusing because he adds additional information/gets on tangents. Material can be sometimes confusing, so you have to do homework and attend lectures. However, he is super helpful if you need clarification on anything.

Prof. Napier's teaching style wasn't something I was used to. He was too smart for his own good, and had a hard time teaching the class. Wouldn't take him again, but didn't do poorly in the class.

Tried and failed to make the material interesting, just not a teaching style that really works for me. Nice guy but ended up teaching myself what I could and it totally killed my GPA.
