Comment:

He is the worst professor I have ever had. Told me to drop the class because I was struggling, rather than try to help. His midterm had material he didn't go over, and he grades HARD, like 10 points for not putting an answer in correct form hard. Do yourself a favor, and stay away from this guy.

A really nice professor. Calculus II is hard; any sort of issue I had was with the material, not Parzynski. Make sure you do well on the quizzes (they're worth 30% of your grade), and make sure to do your homework. If you put in a decent amount of effort, you'll pass just fine.

This professor is very nice and professional. He goes over many homework problems which is great but sometimes skips some of the work or doesn't explain what he did so students ask many questions and sometimes leaving us confused. The material is hard as it is already but he does offer help outside of class. He also curves the grade that helps alot

He is great! Homework boosts grades and is never too hard/long. He will answer any questions in class. Study guides mirror tests and he drops the lowest quiz grade. He curves the final grade too. He is a little hard of hearing sometimes, but in the end he is always willing to hear you out. He gives solid explanations and won't rush through lessons.

I liked the professor. Certainly learn a lot of things. You need to participate in the class and keep up with the material. Gives lots of extra credit and some curve too.

Really nice and funny teacher however sometimes make a few mistakes when showing how to go over problems. Homework is easy. He explains the material very well and gives good reviews for the tests. Same questions on reviews as the tests so study the reviews and you'll pass. Overall, really nice and easy class.

Worst math professor I've ever had! Goes through the problems way too quickly & skips so many steps, only does half the problem when going over hw. Takes off so many points on tests for stupid things. On one test I got every answer right except for one but still only got a 52. When I questioned it he got mad & told me to get out of the classroom

One of the best professors I ever had. Doesn't curve but he drops the lowest quiz grade, so if you study and put in effort you'll be fine. Does many examples of problems on the board. Gives group quizzes so if you don't get something someone in your group might. Easiest math class I ever took. He takes attendance. Homework is on webassign & is easy

He takes off so many points for little things. Asks the most difficult types of problems on tests and quizzes, while going over only easy ones in class. Stands in front of the problem and does not explain each step. He does not curve, but drops the lowest quiz grade. Make sure you label everything (x-axis, y-axis, points, etc.)

Says he gives partial credits but he doesn't. Takes off too many points for small mistakes. Not a very good teacher and he doesn't really help when you go to his office hours. He drops the lowest quiz grade.

So this guy isn't a good teacher. He writes on the blackboard and rambles a decent bit. However, his grading criteria is really clear. My advice is to go on YouTube and look up the topics that will be on the test. I studied that way and got an easy B+. Overall, bad teacher but easy to get through.

He is actually the worst professor I've ever had. He doesn't give any extra help. On tests he takes off 20 points if you get part of a question wrong even if the answer is right. He claims he gives partial credit and to talk to him after class but when he talks to you after class yells at you and says that's the way he grades. Terrible Professor.

I wouldn't take this guy ever again. The web assign isn't bad at all, but he is the most specific math professor ever. He doesn't care that not everyone thinks the same. He takes so many points off for minuscule mistakes. Even if you have the right answer, it won't matter. Don't try fighting for your grade either, he doesn't care.

Professor seems nice but he is not. Does lot of mistakes while working out his problems on the board, however he takes lot of points if you do a single sign error on the exam. Tough grader, won't take it again for any reason.

He is very nice and helpful. He likes to stand in front of what he is writing on the board, so it is sometimes hard to follow his lessons. Once he started teaching things that I didn't learn in high school, the class got a lot harder and I felt like he wasn't as good of professor.

Professor Parzynski is great. He is always available to help you during his office hours and is very concise when teaching. He is one of my favorite professors I have had. It is calc 2, so you have to work. But if you put in the work, attend class, and do the work, you will do well.
