Justin's running of the class literally a joke. He was moving to a new place so the few lectures had no teaching component, whatsoever, the canvas page is not updated. He are still stuck at first lecture meanwhile the other section class has finished two chapters. Avoid him.

Justin was an incredible teacher, he always tried to accommodate and was really kind with wanting his students to succeed. But like any math class you have to out the effort you want and practice! if you practice, ask questions, and watch his lectures you'll be all good.

All lectures were prerecorded so you have to watch them the day before class and they can be 40+ mins long. Theres online and off-line homework every week. The online homework doesn't make any sense and doesn't apply to lectures at all. Tests are pretty hard but the quizzes were easy since they're taken from the homework. Be ready to work hard!

Absolute worst math prof ever. Good effort to try a different learning method however he's not well enough at explaining to pull it off. Barely shows his steps. Don't rely on him to teach you because you'll have to learn everything yourself. His exams are unbelievably difficult and he's not accessible outside of class at all.

He prerecords his lectures and they honestly do not help at all. In class iClicker questions are useless, and homework and quizzes are nothing like his exams. I failed all of my exams, but somehow still passed the course. I genuinely thought I would have to retake this course, which heightened my depression.

He is the worst professor I have ever had. Failed me for 1%. During this pandemic didnt even consider my request or reply to me. Would never take a class with him and I highly recommend you to never take a class with him because you will 100% fail the course

He's a very hard teacher. Even if you've taken precal previously this course will still most likely be challenging with him. Don't rely on his notes, self teach yourself. Get help as much as possible if you need to. His final was really difficult compared to his midterms imo. Attend class for participation marks. Do LOTS of homework practice.

This course is tough to begin with, but Justin is a good professor who explained the material very clearly. Lots of homework questions are assigned to make sure that you have a solid understanding of concepts. Justin was sometimes a bit disorganized and would post lecture slides less than an hour before the lecture, but he was still great!

Comment:

He was really fair past midterm 1. I agree that we were given too many questions for midterm 1 and too little time to complete. However, in the latter part of the course he was really fair. He scaled the class in the end, so if you did significantly better on the finals than on one of the midterms, the finals would be worth a lot more.

He was a really fare prof and explain every concept despite of the limited time he had for his lecture. but i do think this course need more time. work outside of the class is mandatory as its a challenging course. His exams are fare too.

Exams are not fair since he does not give sufficient time. For midterm 1, we started 10 minutes late and we weren't given that extra 10 minutes back. You're better off watching Professor Leonard on youtube rather than attend Grey's lectures. Also the marking scheme for the quizzes are not fair.

Math is hard to teach and hard to make super enjoyable. This man here is amazing. Exams are very fair and he goes the extra mile to make sure we understand stuff. Probably my favorite prof to date.

Does not give good exam review (not telling which question will be on and just spending time in true/false that never will be on the exam) and copy example from the textbook. Make a lot of mistakes in his lecture.
