Survey of Calculus 1 covers essential differential and integral calculus, exponential/logarithmic functions, and functions of several variables for prebusiness and social sciences students.
Historical reviews: Many reviewers describe the course as difficult, citing unclear exams, unfair grading, and lectures that require self-teaching. One student found the workload manageable if they had prior calculus knowledge, noting tests matched review materials.

Times are Central. Select a meeting for details; export includes recorded dates for the selected sections. Enrollment reflects scan time.
Historical reviews for MATH 211 are sharply divided, ranging from descriptions of terrible, confusing instruction to praise for helpful, entry-level teaching. Students report that the experience varies drastically depending on the specific instructor assigned.
Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 2.91 GPA, 37.3% A/AB (n=367 letter grades); Fall 2025: 2.97 GPA, 42.0% A/AB (n=559 letter grades); Spring 2026: 2.85 GPA, 33.7% A/AB (n=389 letter grades).
Historical reviews: Many reviewers describe the course as difficult, citing unclear exams, unfair grading, and lectures that require self-teaching. One student found the workload manageable if they had prior calculus knowledge, noting tests matched review materials.
Historical reviews of David Camacho, George Brown, Shubin Fu: Positive experiences highlight professors who are helpful, care about students, and review basic concepts. These instructors allowed questions during exams and provided study aids, making the class accessible for entry-level learners.
– average GPA
Approximate 80% prediction interval
The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 5 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.
The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

Typical course in this group: letter grades.
1283 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.
Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
