I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Putz for so many classes. Now that I am in grad school, I appreciate his teaching even more. I remember more from his classes than anyone else's. He has a way of making it stay with you. The best of all was his geometry class. He teaches you to write and think the way he does--with impeccable logic.

He is a very good professor, highly intelligent, and very witty. Although he sometimes borders on arrogant, his sense of humor does make class interesting.

Go to class!!! The material is tough and although he is a great prof who gives good lectures and is very helpful, you have to listen to them to understand it. It helps to do the homework as well. Exams are fairly tough but are always perfect replicas of the homework.

This is the best class I've ever had. Every day I looked forward to it. Dr P made it interesting and fun. He has a good sense of humor and relates really well to students. After this class, I decided to major in math. I've had 3 other professors in the dept and I will definitely take as many of my classes from Dr P as I can.

Very good professor. He's the most intelligent person I've ever met, and still he is very good at explaining on student level. Knows which topics are going to be harder & slows down. Third exam is tough.

Excellent professor, great class. Dr. Putz is very creative. Every day he brought something he made or sometimes he had us make things to help explain the topic. He always had some new activity planned, so every class was different. I learned a lot and not just about math. He made lots of connections with liberal arts. This is my favorite class.

I heard he was the best in the dept. So, far I think he's the best at the college. He is clear, fair, and interesting. I wish he was the teaching mth 122. I would definitely take the class from him if I could.

Comment:
and I thought I hated all math professors. This guy changed that, he's pretty cool. Straight to business, he keeps things as exciting as he can. Which sometimes means he shows you pictures of his trips...to Italy...and their brothels...I make him sound bad, but he is a great man that will teach you many things.

Great teacher. Very clear and organized. Good sense of humor. He's a wizard with the computer, too. He makes animations that really help, especially with the 3d stuff.

Excellent professor. The best teacher I've ever had in any subject. When I'm a teacher, I just hope I can be half as good as he is.

Had a student that missed class b/c was in the hospital after being diagnosed with cancer and couldn't get the make up work done immediately upon returning. Putz said that wasn't his problem.

I came from a high school that had a phenomenal math teacher, but Putz managed to match her in almost every regard. He gives tons of examples, and while your notebook will be full by the end of the day, you're guaranteed to have learned something. Be forewarned: the second exam is the weeding one.

Probably the best math teacher I've had at Alma so far. Explains everything pretty well. Answers questions without hesitation. Tests can be difficult, esp multiple choice: they're worth 4 to 5 points a peice w/o partial credit. They can be a killer

Dr. Putz really knows his stuff and can think on his feet. I arrange my schedule every term signing up for whatever he is teaching first and picking everything else around it.

Excellent professor. I took Calc. 2 from him, then went to U. of Michigan where I moved easily into Calc. 3. I still have yet to meet a professor as good as Dr. Putz.

One of the worst math teachers I've ever had! He is a big flake. His class is way too easy, he goes off on tangents ALL THE TIME, and I felt like I was taking Calculus for Kindergardners. All the idiots in the class loved him though.
