Good professor for a very difficult class. To get a decent grade you must attend every lecture, do ALL the homework, and be prepared to study more than you have in your life. Go. To. Office. Hours. Trust me, you need the practice. The unit he teaches on number theory is well done and definitely applicable to your future as a computer scientist.

You need to be ready to study hard for this class. If you don't do the work you will not be successful. However, Dr. Lazebnik is a caring guy and very capable. If you come to lectures ready to learn you will find them very engaging and informative. Take advantage of office hours.

Professor Lazebnik is kind but very demanding. Homework every class, weekly quizzes, 3 exams, and a final. Homework isn't graded, but quiz/exam/final questions come from homework or are very similar in practice. Replaces lowest exam grade w/ final grade if it's higher. Partial credit if you can approach a question, and lenient with small mistakes.

If you don't put in work for Felix, you're dead in the water. MATH210 is essentially self taught, since his lecture style is hard to understand. Exam questions are pulled from the homework, so as long as you do ALL of it (which is no small task since it is a ton) you'll pass. Only take him if you are confident in your work ethic and discipline.

Comment:

I originally took this class for credit, but had to audit last minute because he basically told me that I would not pass the class. He is a very tough grader and gives little to no partial credit on homework and exams. He has the idea that his class is the most important and makes you feel like it's your fault for not understanding the material.

Comment:

His lectures were all over the place, and in my opinion the exams focused too heavily on memorization for a math class. But overall the class is fair and doable, including the exams, as long as you study sufficiently. To be fair, if math is not your strongest subject, this class will be a lot of work. Otherwise, it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Comment:

Be wary about taking his classes as he is an extremely difficult, close-minded professor. He assigns homework that is too difficult and most of the class cannot complete, then comes back and insults us for being lazy. Don't bother asking for averages after a test; he wont tell you. He knows most people will fail his class and has no problem with it

Lazebnik is a nice guy who really loves math and wants you to do good, but he is insanely specific in what he wants & not good w/ partial credit. He is willing to help you in office hours but it didnt help me. Most of my class withdrew/failed. Collects/grades hw, 4 tests &final. attendance is mandatory. Wouldnt recommend esp for non-math majors

He is a genius who loves math, and wants you to as well! Lectures from the textbook, with some comments on related topics and history. Assigns 3-6 advanced problems per week that may take a few hours with help, and 10-20 optional book problems per section. Ask for help if you need it, even by email! If you can pass his class, you can pass anything.

This dude was alright. He teaches more of a history the calc 3 than an application of calc 3. He stresses proofs. So, if you're good at memorizing stuff, it should be an easy A.

Comment:

The professor should be teaching at MIT. goes over loads of info straight from the book and expects all of it to be regurgitated back onto the exams. Homeworks have little to do with whats being given in class. Gives an insane amount of problems to be done on top of extraordinarily hard problems. You should have a gift for math if you want an A

Comment:

The hardest professor you could possibly have for any math course. Do not take this class unless you belong in courses taught at Carnegie Mellon or MIT. Incredibly difficult problems for homework and calls us "greedy" when we tell him we want to actually understand everything about the homework.

He is an AWESOME teacher, but he forgets that students take more than one class. If you are a wizz at math, this wont be too hard. If you struggle with math, this class will be torture. Extremely willing to help but expects 110% all of the time. Be prepared to work and work hard!!! I had to withdraw because I failed EVERY assaignment....

I do not understand what many people complain about. If you do what he tells you to do, and ask questions (even by email), you do well. I did. I feel I learned a lot in this course.

Felix will definitely make you work! He's very big on the homework. the test/final questions came directly from the homework. He LOVES when students go to his office hours. From what i've seen from other ratings, he's great for discrete, not for calculus. He loves proofs, and is passionate about math. He expects the same dedication from students

This professor is nice and helpful. For the course itself, I don't know about American students, but international students (from Eastern European countries, India and China) should consider testing it out. On point sitting in the class going over high school stuff.
