Great professor so helpful. Great human being. It was an honor to meet him. Meeting him gave me my career as a mathemtaics teacher and he is mostly responsible for it. I am forever grateful to him. May the best come for you in your life.

Comment:
His appearance might be misleading as well as his teaching stile, but after a few classes you’ll realise that he is the most experienced and knowledgeable prof in the department. Go to his office hours and do the homework and you’ll get at least a B+.

I am flabbergasted that he was someone's best prof, our whole class was frustated; lectures almost incomprehempossible, you need to go to the TA's just to be able to do the weekly assignments because the textbook doesn't cover most topics. The course gets easier, decipher his notes after class. The final was easier than the assignments.

BEST PROF EVER. I am an arts student, and in my five years of university, this was my favorite prof. He's hilarious, is a great teacher, and more importantly, understands how students understand and retain information. He is a pedagogical master of mathmatics!

Comment:
Taking this class because it's required for the education faculty. Adler is nice and funny but spends our 4 hours a week doing problems on the board without giving us any rules/formulas/overarching themes....pretty frusterating. i will be passing the class thanks to my tutor who's doing the actual teaching. text is next to useless.

Textbook was useless, class notes and practice exams were the way to go. I thought his midterms were harder than the final. Talks a little slow and boring, but math is never fun.

Addy's great. He's quiet, so sit up front. His website has examples, notes, and answers which was SO SO SO HELPFUL! His class covers the basics, which is understandable because the knowledge range of the students coming in is so varied, but he provides LOADS of material for A and other students on his website...you gotta do it for yourself!!!!!!!!!

Comment:
I'm terrible at math, and I only took it cuz I had to, but he's a pretty good prof. His tests are hard, really hard, and have nothing to do with his notes or homework. Study old tests, it's a better use of your time. Funny guy, with good jokes, but the tests are hard (and i take good notes)

Adler is a great guy, but he is a bit snobby. He's entertaining, funny and engaging but his tests are HARD. Note: HARD

Great prof! Midterm questions have nothing to do with textbook. More helpful to do past midterms for practise than textbook questions. Midterms are hard, but very possible to get good grade if you understand how to apply material.
