This was a great teacher, a man who loved his subject and wanted to pass this love on to his students. He knew some math undergrads spent their time wondering if they should have taken engineering instead. He worked hard to remove students' doubts about that.

Comment:

You want a epitome of the "prof who cares"? Tenti is it. His methods of lecturing cleverly integrates theory with application that instigates interest for engineers while without losing any math rigor at all. If you have a genuine interest towards applied mathematics, his lectures are very pleasant experiences indeed.

let's just say this, if you fall asleep on reading Tenti's online lecture notes, you'll fall asleep on all the notes from every other course. his notes are the best! and it's still a tough course, so thank you for helping me pass!

GREAT prof - one of the best the university has to offer. REALLY cares about his students. It would be great if he were a little bit more sensitive to our brains. He gets really excited while giving examples which often goes beyond the students' level of understanding.

Truly a great prof - revamped 117/119/211. Our class frustrated him at times, but he always kept his cool. His online lecture notes are awesome and he gives clear and interesting lectures. He really likes helping students. The exam had no surprises. It's a shame he's gonna retire at the end of 2005.

Lots of people say he's good, but lots think otherwise. His ideas and teaching are too abstract. Not a really good type of teacher if you've just got out of high school!!

Greatest prof encountered so far. Possibly the last of a dying breed of caring profs. He helps you visualize the most abstract concepts in calculus with such an ease that it seems like kid's stuff. Hope he starts teaching ECE 370 again.

He is different from all other profs simply becuz he cares about students. Calculus lecture is the only class I've never skipped but Calculus tutorial is the class I've never gone becuz we don't need TA's. Without him, I would've failed miserably.

Best prof I ever had in UW. Undoubtly, one of my most favourite teachers of all time. He was so enthusiastic and thorough in his teaching that my attention never drifted out of focus for every single lecture(never happens for any other course)

Brutal course, told us we would fail and we knew nothing. He told us 60% would fail and he was right. Why should schools have courses that you have to fail??? IS this a money thing?
